I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out I am what I am



I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

The two pieces that I mentioned above have indeed been my theme as I meandered though this life, but that theme will change to a more suitable theme for that moment in time when... :)

 

Listen to Beauty

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep

As someone else said, it's changed over the years, what I've felt it to be...but the one which always remains is:

 

"Soul for every Cowboy" by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, from their "Sister Sweetly" album. Excellent blues/rock band out of Colorado. Short set of lyrics says it all:

 

"And a soul for every cowboy.

And a star to guide him home.

And an angel to bring him,

A song to sing when he's alone.

For the night is far from over

And the storm is coming on.

And the wind is blowing colder.

And he's very far from home.

When hell falls cold and wet.

His heart soon forgets.

That ever he was loved or wanted to be loved."

 

Brilliant guitar solo, then repeat the whole. Good stuff.

Hmmm. I guess I've always had "theme" songs with my partners. Jim is the longest-lasting, and the most rewarding. We both got our emotions tied up in a song many years ago that I would say is OUR theme song.

 

 

Oleta Adams - Get Here

 

Of course as all gay folk, we've all had our trials and tribulations. Probably 25-30 years ago, certainly not the best of times, but not the worst either, if I had a theme song, it surely would have been

Send in the Clowns - by the lady who made it REALLY famous.

 

Of course, these are 'songs', as the thread indicated. These do not include Classical works that can basically heighten my emotions to the same levels as Love, Sex, etc..

Oh gosh, my theme song definitely used to be Born To Be Alive by Patrick Hernandez.

 

Today, however, it's Requiem....

Come on you! You are creeping me out here.

 

After seeing the pictures that you have posted about yourself, I envision Mr Tipdin spending the next years remodeling and creating LIFE out of everything he sees!

 

Do NOT disappoint me.

 

So there! p

Interesting timing.

 

Modern Talking's 'Do You Wanna' is playing right now. I'm ALWAYS better with the inspiration of a special someone....

Often it is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.

 

 

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined

I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

 

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

 

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

 

Oh, oh, oh

 

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines

We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

 

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

 

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

 

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

 

Oh, yeah, yeah

...and would it matter? Although I think Mozart wins for being the most haunted and ugly sounding.

Nothing is ever so bad as it seems. You're near enough. Go take a slow stroll around Lake of the Isles with someone you really care about and bring your portable music listening device with Dvorak's New World, especially the 2nd movement or maybe Beethoven's 6th (Pastoral) and there is always Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No 2, especially the 2nd movement. Then relax, listen and drink in the beauty, if it still is as I remember it.

 

Take care

I don't really know what my theme song is now, but for the last three or four years it was Demons by Guster.

 

 

My words confuse you

My eyes don't move or blink

'Cause it's easier sometimes

Not to be sincere

Somehow I make you believe

Believe

 

When I speak I cross my fingers

Will you know you've been deceived?

I find a need to be the demon

A demon cannot be hurt

 

Honest is easy

Fiction's where genius lies

'Cause it's easier sometimes

Not to be involved

Somehow I make you believe

Believe

 

When I speak I cross my fingers

Will you know you've been deceived?

I find a need to be the demon

A demon cannot be hurt

 

When I speak I cross my fingers

Will you know you've been deceived?

I find a need to be the demon

A demon cannot be hurt

BHT is one of my faves. I love every single song on that album, but It's Alright and Bittersweet are particular faves.
