"Holding Back the Years ...Holding Back the Tears...I've wasted all |
|
my Tears...wasted all those years...Nothing had the chance to Be Good... I'll Keep Holding on...I'll Keep Holding on....
Sometimes....
I've wasted all my tears...and nothing had the chance to be good..because nothing ever could....
Simply Red..
Very Sad...

Here's one of theirs to psych you up:
Turn it up, turn it so loud It don't ever stop No no no no Turn it up, makes me so proud I believe in this feeling
Well you've lost all the things That sharing could bring Thought you were doing right But violence and flames And torches and chains Are fuelling These new northern lights Like prisoners working On infertile land Took eight years To find out the score If you're sick then you're lonely Out of work then you're hungry The sentence is four years more
Turn it up, turn it so loud It don't ever stop No no no no Turn it up, makes me so proud I believe in this feeling Turn it up, turn it up Right up, right up
Who says poverty and race Can be kept in their place By keeping it All underground And ruling the country Are unfaithful husbands Who spank little boys Gagged and bound There's got to be a better way For you and for me To turn this hypocrisy round The growth of a nation Cannot be achieved By keeping The downtrodden down
Turn it up, turn it so loud It don't ever stop No no no no Turn it up, makes me so proud I believe in this feeling Turn it up, turn it up Right up, right up

4. And, I've played his "I"ll Keep HOLDING ON" over and over |
|
I got his "Greatist Hits" for Christmas Present. I just keep playing that song over and over tonight...I'm having my own "wind down" party. (Maybe it's a "pity party") but ...I needed to hear this over and over...
Shouldn't have hit the wine bottle tonight after all that "activity" today...But OMG it sent me into such a depression when I should be UP not Down...
But, then, I realize that as brave as those folks were today...in the end the MSM just passed it over as if it was "nothing." That's what got me down..even though I expected it.
Just having my down party with "Red," here...to get it all out...He's a good one to listen to for this...

and I recognized the lyrics from that first. Angie Stone also sings it...
Holding back the tears Cause nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years
Edit because I originally said Sharon Stone had a version...doi!
