I am a huge fan of all types of music – from classic rock to jazz to country to opera to new age. I even play a few instruments including the guitar and bass.<\/p>\n
On that note (pun intended), it was 1987 when I first listened to Sting’s second solo release, Nothing Like The Sun<\/em>. On that cd, there was an incredibly soothing song that would eventually become one of my favorites. That song is “Be Still My Beating Heart”.<\/p>\n I’m not sure if you have similar musical tastes to mine. But, given the theme of this blog and its interesting lyrics, I figured it might be fun to share this calming song with you. Simply press the play button below and make sure the volume on your computer is on.<\/p>\n If you are curious, here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Be Still My Beating Heart”<\/p>\n Be still my beating heart I sink like a stone that’s been thrown in the ocean Restore my broken dreams Be still my beating heart Stop before you start Never to be wrong I sink like a stone that’s been thrown in the ocean <\/p>\n Have a great 4th of July weekend!<\/p>\n Keep on tickin!
\nIt would be better to be cool
\nIt’s not time to be open just yet
\nA lesson once learned is so hard to forget
\nBe still my beating heart
\nOr I’ll be taken for a fool
\nIt’s not healthy to run at this pace
\nThe blood runs so red to my face
\nI’ve been to every single book I know
\nTo soothe the thoughts that plague me so<\/p>\n
\nMy logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
\nStop before you start
\nBe still my beating heart<\/p>\n
\nShattered like a falling glass
\nI’m not ready to be broken just yet
\nA lesson once learned is so hard to forget<\/p>\n
\nYou must learn to stand your ground
\nIt’s not healthy to run at this pace
\nThe blood runs so red to my face
\nI’ve been to every single book I know
\nTo soothe the thoughts that plague me so<\/p>\n
\nBe still my beating heart<\/p>\n
\nNever to make promises that break
\nIt’s like singing in the wind
\nOr writing on the surface of a lake
\nAnd I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
\nAnd I struggle to avoid any help at hand<\/p>\n
\nMy logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
\nStop before you start
\nBe still my beating heart<\/p>\n
