You Tube Tuesday







Each week a growing group of bloggers are seeing how creative they can get in selecting thought provoking, and sometimes just fun, YouTube videos that have stood out to them. Each month the creator of the project, Josh, will be selecting a winner and presenting them with the "You Tube Tuesday Award".

Do you have a video that you found hilarious, thought provoking or inspiring? Come, join the project and be sure to leave your link on Josh's site: www.itstigertime.blogspot.com And of course in the comments section here too!

















Shake it Out


Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play


And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

  7. Thanks everyone...glad you liked it! When I think of the "devil" that I need to get off my back...I think of the ego...The ego that tends to weigh us down and obscure our view of the Divine/reality, hindering our potentials and our peace.

  9. It's something different from you Jessica :) I like the song, it has modern lyrics with subtle but thought provoking message~ powerful vocal chords, rhythm is basic but truly lovely to listen to.

    It's lovely to hear something new! Thanks for sharing :)

    1. True..I thought I'd do something a little different this week...I've been listening to the album this is on the last few weeks while working out at the gym. There's such energy in the music and I love the lyrics!

  11. I’ve never heard of Florence and the Machine. But it seems we have the same taste in music. What a talent! And last week’s rendition of Amazing Grace, oh, I just love!

  13. WOW... loved the lyrics, Jessica! Great choice... this is my first time listening, they are incredibly talented, so it will not be the last.

    Deep Breath... Regret ~sigh! Powerful... "And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back" This song very much symbolizes how it was back in my drinking days, before getting sober.

    Thank you for sharing
