music therapy :)

I don't really have the time for a lengthy post (when do I ever?... unless it's at the expense of a decent nights's sleep?... *sigh*) - plus, I'm in a weird mood and couldn't possibly hope to capture the chaos of my thoughts at the moment - but today is the birthday of someone who means a lot to me, and who is possibly going through some sort of midlife crisis... and this has made me all pensive and nostalgic and EMO and... I don't know. Perhaps my period is about to come early this month.;) Anyway... sometimes song lyrics say it all much better, so here's a song I adore. A song that always makes me feel somehow purified and one with the universe, and, well... not so much of a loser anymore.;)



Here's to the bruised and the broken hearted
Here's to dear friends now departed
Here's to the lonely, here's to the lost
Here's to those who love at a cost

Here's to the bitter and the reviled
Here's to the rejected child
Here's to those who don't have a hope
Here's to all of us in the same boat

Here's to you and here's to me
Only time's gonna set us free
Beautiful losers
You beautiful losers
Here's to you and here's to me
Here's to our philosophy
You beautiful losers
I'm gonna take all your bruises away
Away
Away
We'll be winners at the end of the day

Here's to the talentless and the trying
Here's to those who are always crying
Here's to the fearful, here's to the faint
Here's to time that'll make you a saint

Here's to the broken, here's to the bent
Here's to you all heaven sent
Here's to those that are lost at sea
Here's to the time that'll set you free

Here's to you and here's to me
Only time's gonna set us free
Beautiful losers
You beautiful losers
Here's to you and here's to me
Here's to our philosophy
You beautiful losers
I'm gonna take all your bruises away
Away
Away
We'll be winners at the end of the day

Here's to rain
Here's to thunder
Here's to those that are trodden under
Here's to darkness
Here's to death
Here's to each fading breath
Here's to sorrow
Here's to pain
Here's to heartache once again
Here's to you
Here's to me
Only time's gonna set us free


And when we die we're gonna go dancing
At that nightclub in the sky
When we die we're gonna go dancing
At that nightclub in the sky
When we die we're gonna go dancing
At that nightclub in the sky
You beautiful losers
I'm gonna take all your bruises away
Beautiful losers
I'm gonna take all your bruises away
You beautiful losers
I'm gonna kiss all your bruises away
Beautiful losers
You'll be winners at the end of the day


Marc Almond, from the album Open All Night (1999)

Dedicated to all who could use some art therapy... but especially to you, my favorite dance partner from that nightclub in the sky.;) If you're reading this, you know who you are. <3
