ATF: True Devotion

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

The Cars

Who's gonna tell you when

It's too late

Who's gonna tell you things

Aren't so great

You can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Who's gonna pick you up

When you fall

Who's gonna hang it up

When you call

Who's gonna pay attention

To your dreams

Who's gonna plug their ears

When you scream

You can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Who's gonna hold you down

When you shake

Who's gonna come around

When you break

You can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Oh

No you can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Let Her Cry

Hootie & The Blowfish

She sits alone by a lamppost

Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

She says Dad's the one I love the most

But Stipe's not far behind

She never lets me in

Only tell me where's she's been

When she's had too much to drink

I say that I don't care

I just run my hands through her dark hair

Then I pray to God

You gotta help me fly away

And just

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Let her be

This morning I woke up alone

Found a note standing by the phone

Saying baby

Maybe I'll be back some day

I wanted to look for you

You walked in

I didn't know just what I should do

So I sat back down

And had a beer

And felt sorry for myself

Saying

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Oh oh

Last night I tried to leave

She cried so much I just could not believe

She was the same girl

I fell in love with long ago

She went in the back to get high

I sat down on my couch and cried

Yelling

Oh mama

Please help me

Won't you hold my hand

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Oh

Let her be

TWO FOR TUESDAY

Link: [The Cars]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Hello Again

The Cars

Hello

Hello again

Hello

Hello again

You might have forgot

The journey ends

You tied your knots

You made your friends

You left the scene

Without a trace

One hand on the ground

One hand in space

Oh you passed on mercy

You tried the rest

You gave your body

You gave your best

Staring at the green door

Living in the sky

You don’t want to know it

You just want to fly

Hello

Hello

Hello again

Ought oh

Ooh ooh yeah

Hello

Hello

Hello again

Hello

I know you’re a dreamer

Who’s under the gun

I know you’re a dreamer

Who’s only just begun

Hello

Hello

Hello again

I say

Hello

Hello

Hello again

Oh when there’s nothing

Nothing left to lose

You leave it all

To fade to blue

You want to feel electric

You want to feel loose

You want to be eclectic

You want to call a truce

Look at the profile

Staring at the flame

Waiting for the sunshine

Standing in the rain

Hello

Ought oh

Hello again

I said

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello again

I say

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello again

Hello

Ought oh

Hello again

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello

Hello
