mustbnutz: MarianneThe following song was written and first recorded by The Easy Riders in about 1956....The group consisted of Terry Gilkyson,Rich Dehr and Frank Miller.....I grew up with the Dehr kids,so I knew the family well.To this day Terry Gilkyson gets the major credit for this song,however it was mostly because of Rich Dehr that this song was ever written.Over the years there have been numerous groups and individuals that have recorded this song.Here is the original by the Easy Riders.........
"I sing ya songs I dance a dance I gave ya friends all a chance Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you And maybe you been through this before But it's my first time So please ignore The next few lines cause they're directed at you..." ~Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Backward
"And how come when we say that we do we don't, pray to anybody you want, we won't. But if we're the ones to blame then the fruit shouldn't taste so good, we were used. Used to thinking we got nothing to lose, we're losing everything but the truth..." ~Jack Johnson. They Do They Don't
lifeisadream: Lovely song Dandelion! Thanks I used to listen to it when in school. It says a lot!!!!!!!
Yes, it does....... the words are so poignant.
I also believe this song is my mantra..... listen to the words carefully. I have been involved a lot re. bullying and oppression, and its a deep passion of mine..... one thing above ALL else........justice and fair play - ALWAYS!!
"The higher you build your barriers The taller I become The farther you take my rights away The faster I will run You can deny me You can decide to turn your face away No matter, cos there’s
Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you’re doing me wrong, so wrong You thought that my pride was gone Oh no, there's something inside so strong Oh oh oh oh oh oh Something inside so strong
The more you refuse to hear my voice The louder I will sing You hide behind walls of Jericho Your lies will come tumbling Deny my place in time You squander wealth that’s mine My light will shine so brightly It will blind you because there’s
Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you’re doing me wrong, so wrong You thought that my pride was gone Oh no, there's something inside so strong Oh oh oh oh oh oh Something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters When they insist we’re just not good enough Well we know better Just look ‘em in the eyes and say We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway There's
Something inside so strong And I know that I can make it Though you’re doing me wrong, so wrong You thought that my pride was gone Oh no, there's something inside so strong Oh oh oh oh oh oh Something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters When they insist we’re just not good enough Well we know better Just look ‘em in the eyes and say We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway Because there’s

There's something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you’re doing me wrong, so wrong You thought that my pride was gone Oh no, there's something inside so strong Oh oh oh oh oh oh Something inside so strong Oh oh oh oh oh oh Something inside so strong Oh oh oh oh Something inside so strong"

I just found this one .......... and got a wonderful flash back to my childhood and the vision of my mum and dad learning to dance to this one. The ChaCha I think, is that right ? ...

So, you had to know how to dance cha cha cha.. at least a little bit.. ¿no?
My preference in music is trance, techno, ambient and retro...especially 80's music. I enjoy listening to beatbox. I'm open to many other types of music if it has a good sound or beat. I'm not sure if my choice in music reveals my personality type but I'll listen to certain songs based on my mood.
