Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Why do you ride for your money
Tell me why do you rope for short pay
You ain’t a’gettin’ nowhere
And you’re losin’ your share
Girl, you must have gone crazy out there

Everybody get up
Everybody get up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

6.) “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay” – Otis Redding
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ‘em roll away again, yeah

One, two, three, uh!
My baby don’t mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure.

from Braveheart – the whole sound track is just dang good.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away...
and because it’s been that sort of couple of weeks;
10.) “Angel” – Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day

p.s....if it's not cloudy where you are check out the heavens tonight and the next few nights:
Expert observers are reporting an unexpected outburst of a little-known (but historical) meteor shower. The Andromedid meteor outburst began yesterday (December 8, 2013) and might not have peaked yet. The Geminid meteor shower is going on now, too, peaking on the mornings of December 13 and 14. So tonight might be an awesome night to go outside and watch for meteors!
![This is is a good little story. @[1189650590:2048:Britton Maynard] and @[1575991218:2048:Chris Maynard] @[100002572649254:2048:Jeremy Lindsey McBrayer]</p>
<p>It was the coldest winter in anyone’s memory, and one animal after another perished in the icy weather. The porcupines saw this and decided the only way they would survive is if they grouped together to share their warmth. Only trouble was, the quills of one porcupine wounded the one next to it, and that one hurt the one next to it, and so on and so on. They stayed warm, all right, but the pain they suffered was just too great. After awhile they edged away to shiver alone. But one by one, they froze to death.</p>
<p>Even porcupines could see that was never going to do. The only way to keep from disappearing from the earth was to move back together and put up with their neighbors’ painful quills. And that’s what they did.</p>
<p>So the porcupines learned to live with the little wounds caused by close relationships between companions. Even more important, they learned the gift of lifegiving heat that comes from being together.</p>
<p>The moral of the story: The best relationship is not the one that brings perfect people together. It is when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person’s good qualities.](https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/p370x247/563690_3647481283026_1156687661_n.jpg)
