Dave Matthews & Brandi Carlile - Paper Town - LIVE - 7/26/26 Newport Folk Festival

 Dave Matthews & Brandi Carlile - Paper Town  

Lyrics from transcript:

So, um, this is about, it's not an unusual story, but this is the song that was

inspired by a documentary that hopefully gets a little extra airtime called Paper

Town. And uh it's about Canton uh North Carolina where they uh had a paper mill

that built the town on the Pigeon River and uh was there for 115 years and then

somebody bought it and said, "You know what I could do is I could if I got a couple of these paper mills, I could

just shut this one down and uh make a little extra money working the other ones harder. Anyway, the town is uh

pretty broken up and that's what the documentary is about and that's why I wrote this song. Um now now they're fighting a data center. So......

Anyway, thank you all for listening. And now um I'm going to sing with my good friend Brandi. 


I was born [singing] in these heroes the same as my daddy. [singing] And in these

heroes, I laid his [music] bones to rest. I work hard every [singing] day.

Give one and 10 to [music] Jesus. I don't know where [singing] I'm going, but that don't mean I [music] lost my way.

Run, run, [singing] old paper [music] town. Run, old paper mill. When that steam [music] machine stops pumping,

we're going to find some [singing] time to kill. When the smoke stack stop [music] and the gates are locked, we're going to get some time to fill.


Roll on pigeon [music] river. Roll on to [singing] Tennessee.

You might be sweet Carolina, but you ain't [singing and music] seen the end of me.

I was born in these hills called Southern Appalachia.

And in [singing] these hills, my mama raised me up. She said, "Child, [singing] you're a wild one. Soft

thistle in your hair. Don't let nobody tame you. Let that fire guide you there.

Roll [singing] on Pigeon River. Roll on to Tennessee. [music] Say goodbye, [singing] sweet Carolina.

You ain't seen [music] me.

Roll on river [singing] and that coast to [music] Tennessee. You might leave [singing] Sweet Carolina.


[music] You ain't seen the end of me.



run [singing and music] old paper Run paper mill. When that steam

[singing] machine stops pumping, [music]

we're going to find some time to kill.

When the smoke stack stop [singing and music] and the gates are locked, there's going to be some time to kill.

I try to eat when I'm hungry. [singing] I try drink when I'm dry. That old [music] meal never killed me, so I'm

going to live until [singing] I die. I work hard every day.

[singing] Love to get [music] my paycheck. I don't know where I'm going, but that don't mean I lost [singing and music] my way.

Roll on Pigeon River. Roll on [singing] to [music] Tennessee. Say goodbye, sweet

Carolina. You ain't seen the [singing and music] end of me. Roll on ancient river to the shores of

Tennessee. [music] You might leave Sweet Carolina, but you [singing] ain't seen the end of me.

You might say goodbye, sweet [singing and music] Carolina. You ain't seen the end of me.

Jenn Florentino - This is Letting Go (Rise Against acoustic cover)

 Jenn Florentino - This is Letting Go 

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.
Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat
I moved my feet, I carried weight
What I could not do I faked
And I dug seeking treasure
Just to wake up in an early grave
So I stopped right there and said

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow.
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
The path I carve from here on out will be my own
The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips
And the chorus plays like a sink that drips
A syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heeding
Until all is said and we noticed it
When the wheels brace and the tires grip
A map we've been misreading
A defeat we're not conceding
Until now
There must be some other way out

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
The path I carve from here on out will be my own
A path to take me home

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! )

The wind died
The whole world ceased to move
Now so quiet
Her beating heart became a boom
We locked eyes
For just a moment or two
She asked, "Why?"
I said "I don't know why"

I just know

The wind died
The whole world ceased to move
Now so quiet
Her beating heart became a boom
We locked eyes
For just a moment or two
She asked, "Why?"
I said "I don't know why"
I just know
I just know

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
I made the most of all this sorrow
I tried to brave this discontent, but now I'm through
I'm letting go of you.

This is letting go
This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.

First Peter Chapter One

 1    PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, 
    and Bithynia,

2    Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience
    and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:  Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

3    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath
    begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4    To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5    Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6    Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold 
    temptation:  

7    That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire,
    might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8    Whom having not seen, ye love;  in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
    unspeakable and full of glory:

9    Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

10    Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that 
    should come unto you:

11    Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified
    beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

12    Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now
    reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;
    which things the angels desire to look into.

13    Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto
    you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14    As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

15    But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16    Because it is written, Be ye holy;  for I am holy.

17    And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time
    of your sojourning here in fear;

18    Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
    conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19    But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20    Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21    Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory;  that your faith
    and hope might be in God.

22    Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
    see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23    Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24    For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.  The grass withereth, and the flower
    thereof falleth away:

25    But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.  And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

    First Peter Chapter One - KJV

My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers

September 12th

BY SPIRITUAL CONFUSION

"Ye know not what ye ask"  MATTHEW 20:22


    There are times in spiritual life when there is confusion, and it is no way out to say that there ought not to be confusion.
It is not a question of right and wrong, but a question of God taking you by a way which in the meantime you do not understand,
and it is only by going through the confusion that you will get at what God wants.

    THE SHROUDING OF HIS FRIENDSHIP.  Luke 11:5-8.  Jesus gave the illustration of the man who looked as if he did
not care for his friend, and He said that that is how the Heavenly Father will appear to you at times.  You will think He is an
unkind friend, but remember He is not;  the time will come when everything will be explained.  There is a cloud on the 
friendship of the heart, and often even love itself has to wait in pain and tears for the blessing of fuller communion.  When
God looks completely shrouded, will you hang on in confidence in Him?


    THE SHADOW ON HIS FATHERHOOD.  Luke 11:11-13.  Jesus says there are times when your Father will appear as
if He were an unnatural father, as if He were callous and indifferent, but remember He is not;  I have told you--"Everyone that
asketh receiveth."  If there is a shadow on the face of the Father just now, hang onto it that He will ultimately give His clear
revealing and justify Himself in all that He permitted.

    THE STRANGENESS OF HIS FAITHFULNESS.  Luke 18:1-8.  "When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on
the earth?"  Will He find the faith which banks on Him in spite of the confusion?  Stand off in faith believing that what
Jesus said is true, though in the meantime you do not understand what God is doing.  He has bigger issues at stake than
the particular things you ask.

Black Veil Brides - Perfect Weapon

 Black Veil Brides - Perfect Weapon

Awake at night you focus
On everyone who's hurt you,
Then write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.

Leave us alone!
You're on your own!
Watch out!

We are breathin'
While you're sleepin'. Go (go!)
And leave us alone.
The liars cheatin',
Our hearts beatin'. Go (go!)
And now you're on your own.

Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression,
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.

Leave us alone!
You're on your own!

Linkin Park - Cut the Bridge (live in Argentina 2025)

  Linkin Park - Cut the Bridge

 [Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
You're too ignorant to fail, I can't look you in the eye
And I can't even tell if you've been tellin' me a lie
Every time you start it's like the fourth day of July
Reckless like you're makin' rockets just to blow up in the sky
Feelin' like it's chemical, all under my skin like it's medical
Stuck on repetitions that are only hypothetical
Actin' like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can't seem to let it go

[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Linkin Park except Emily]
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin' 'til it's gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I'm too gullible to win, I don't have a way to choose
Grew up thinkin' tryin' meant you never really lose
Didn't put the powder in the keg, and when it blew
I was sittin' on the dynamite for you to light the fuse
Ooh, lookin' like a criminal, sneakin' in the dark, you're invisible
Hidden, you're wrapped around my neck just like a tentacle
Actin' like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can't seem to let it go

[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Linkin Park except Emily]
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin' 'til it's gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Somethin' in my head feels broken
I'm the gas from a burner left open
I'm a tightrope held up by a clothespin
Holdin' out, but the pressure keeps growin'
Wanna go to the light and not the shadow
But the branch isn't shiny as the arrow
You don't ever find a way around a battle
You will always choose
Just to watch it burn
Just to watch it burn

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong, Linkin Park except Emily, All]
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin' 'til it's gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we're on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down

Kristen Stewart - Angel From Montgomery (Into the Wild)

 Kristen Stewart - Angel From Montgomery

written by John Prine 

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder
And lightning was desire
This old house would've burned down
A long time ago

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
The years they just rolled by
Like a broken down dam

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

Somewhere there was a mighty island
Di suatu tempat ada sebuah pulau besar


Has precious oil, pearls, and unlimited magic potions
Memiliki minyak berharga, mutiara, dan ramuan ajaib tak terbatas

Time flies, bad luck finally arrived
Waktu berlalu, nasib buruk akhirnya tiba


Domination is taken by greedy people
Dominasi diambil oleh orang-orang yang tamak


Undermine, undermine, scraping down
Merusak, merusak, mengikis

Far, too many things have been breaking lately

Terlalu banyak hal yang rusak akhir-akhir ini


Humans remain in vain as ever
Manusia tetap sia-sia seperti sebelumnya


But, the ego always stays above all
Tapi ego selalu berada di atas segalanya


The life rotates at one′s pleasure
Hidup berputar sesuai keinginan seseorang

Started to realize that any land would be cruel
Mulai menyadari bahwa tanah mana pun akan kejam


As long as what remains is human
Selama yang tersisa adalah manusia


Creature who regard ego as an asset
Makhluk yang menganggap ego sebagai aset


Greedy and hurting others too much
Serakah dan terlalu menyakiti orang lain


Creature who regard ego as an asset
Makhluk yang menganggap ego sebagai aset


Greedy and hurting others too much
Serakah dan terlalu menyakiti orang lain

Evanescence - The Game is Over

  Evanescence - The Game is Over

Had enough I’ve really 
had enough
Had enough of denial
I’m not alright but I’m not gonna lie I don’t know that I ever was 

all alone I’ve waited 
all alone
Held it in as I played by your rules I’ve been biting my lip but I’m losing my grip
I’m coming down down down

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain
Behind our vain devices are we all the same

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend 

Take a breath and try to play along but
I’m a terrible liar
I feel the world like a brick on my chest
and the party’s just begun

Throw the rope I’m wading
Through the mud
From your mouth flow a thousand truths 
But you know there’s only one

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Sweet words they mean nothing they’re not true  
cause the game is over

I want it all or I want nothing at all
maybe I can change me into something I believe in 
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Your sweet words they mean nothing save your breath
The game is over

Young The Giant - Different Kind of Love

  Young The Giant - Different Kind of Love

Living in a house that’s not your home
Living on a prayer you used to know
Give in to the weight but don’t let go 
Don’t let go 

A golden cage, a record year
I’m hanging from a chandelier
I have a dream I disappear 
But I woke up
I can’t take the mind control
My heart my body tells me no
You told me once not long ago
But I forgot

Living in a house that’s not your home
Living on a prayer you used to know
Give in to the weight but don’t let go 
Don’t let go 
We could be forever, not just once
We could have a different kind of love
Give in to the weight but don’t give up
Don’t give up

Then I started building walls
I locked the doors, I screened your calls
I thought I was in control 
But I was lost

Living in a house that’s not your home
Living on a prayer you used to know
Give in to the weight but don’t let go 
Don’t let go 
We could be forever, not just once
We could have a different kind of love
Give in to the weight but don’t give up
Don’t give up

I’m a be okay
I go all ‘o the way down
I’m a be okay
I go all ‘o the way down
I’m a be okay 
I go all ‘o the way down
All ‘o the way down 
All ‘o the way down

Living in a house that’s not your home (I’m a be okay, I go all ‘o the way down)
Living on a prayer you used to know (I’m a be okay, I go all ‘o the way down)
Give in to the weight but don’t let go (I’m a be okay, I go all ‘o the way down)
Don’t let go  (all ‘o the way down, all ‘o the way down)
We could be forever, not just once (I’m a be okay, I go all ‘o the way down)
We could have a different kind of love (I’m a be okay, I go all ‘o the way down)
Give in to the weight but don’t give up (I’m a be okay, I go all ‘o the way down)
Don’t give up (all ‘o the way down, all ‘o the way down)

I’m a be okay
I go all ‘o the way down
All ‘o the way down
All ‘o the way down

 Portugal. The Man - Purple Yellow Red & Blue

All I wanna do is
Live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me

I can't help it
It's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel purple, yellow, red, and blue

When I grow up I want to be
A movie star or on tv
Cause working just don't work for me
But I can't focus feeling hopeless
So I'll just sit back and try to look mean

All I wanna do is
Live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me

I can't help it
It's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel purple, yellow, red, and blue

When I grow up I want to be
A rich kid born celebrity
It's not greed but necessity
Now I don't focus on the hopeless when I look out it's only for me

All I wanna do is
Live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me

I can't help it
It's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel purple yellow red and blue

I just wanna be evil
Purple, yellow, red, and blue

All that I needed
Is something to believe in
Cause everything just falls in place like that

WHEN IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
I NEED THE STRENGTH TO STAY ALIVE
AND WHEN I’M IN MY HOME
I NEED THE STRENGTH TO BE ALONE
THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING
THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING RIGHT NOW
THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING

AND WHEN I SEE YOU AT NIGHT
I NEED AN ELECTRIC LIGHT
AND WHEN YOU CALL ME AT HOME
YOU ONLY HEAR A DIAL TONE
WHEN IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
I NEED THE STRENGTH TO STAY ALIVE
AND WHEN I’M IN MY HOME
I NEED THE STRENGTH TO BE ALONE
THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING

THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING RIGHT NOW
THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING
THAT’S HOW I’M FEELING RIGHT NOW
AND WHEN THE DEMONS ARRIVE
I NEED TO WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT
AND WHEN I’M FEELING THIS WAY
I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO BE ASHAMED
BECAUSE

Rise Against - Life Less Frightening (Legendado/Tradução PT-BR)

 Rise Against - Life Less Frightening

Suffering from something we're not sure of
In a world there is no cure for
These lives we live test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads, why are we losing?
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
Hang me out to dry, I'm soaking
With the sense of knowing
What's gone wrong? But doing nothing, I still run
Time again, I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all, will someone answer me?
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me? (Just like me?)
A place where we can hide
Out from the night
Where you are all I need (where you are all I need)
So blow a kiss, goodbye
Close your eyes
Tell me what you see? (Tell me what you see?)
A lifetime spent inside
This dream of mine
Where you are all I see
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Caroline's Spine - Nothing to Prove

 Caroline's Spine - Nothing to Prove

I should be able to get over yourself
Nothing given means nothing can get kicked around
I fear you and I occasionally think too
Your insecurity makes living life tough on me, but
 
I don't know if you feel this way all the time
Hear me, I don't think you're right
I know you've got nothing to prove
And I ponder why you're always trying to take what's mine
Hear me, I won't fight you
I know you've got nothing to prove

I'm always able to get over myself
I still remember how you helped me figure it out
I fear you and I occasionally think too
Your insecurity pollutes your path to purity, but

I don't know if you feel this way all the time
Hear me, I don't think it's right
I know you've got nothing to prove
And I ponder why you're always trying to take what's mine
Hear me, I won't fight you
You know it's not my way

I guess now you know why I never call
I guess now you know why I never call
I guess now you know why I....

We should be able to get over ourselves
Time in small quantity I think would work very well

And I don't know why you feel this way all the time
Hear me, I don't think you're right
I know you've got nothing to prove
And I ponder why you're always trying to take what's mine
Hear me, I won't fight you
You know it's not my way

I guess now you know why I never call
I guess now you know why I never call 
I guess now you know why I...

The Black Keys - This is Nowhere (Live at KROQ 2024)

 The Black Keys - This is Nowhere

Gonna take a one-way trip to nowhere
Gonna pack my bags, head out to nowhere
Gonna tell all my friends I’m going back to nowhere
Have the time of my life when I get to nowhere

'Cause anywhere’s better than here
Wanna disappear, in the atmosphere, for a million years
No discount beers, no alligators tears
Just the sound of the wind blowing past my ears
My ears

'Cause this is nowhere
Yeah this is nowhere
This is nowhere
Yeah this is nowhere

Gonna tell my baby I’m bound for nowhere
Gonna sell all my clothes when I get to nowhere
Have the time of my life, when I get to nowhere
Spend the rest of my days in the middle of nowhere

'Cause anywhere’s better than here
Wanna disappear, in the atmosphere, in a golden year
No souvenirs, no stupid tears
Just the sound of the wind blowing past my ears
My ears

'Cause this is nowhere
Yeah this is nowhere
This is nowhere
Yeah this is nowhere

And I’m not going back
I’m gonna waste my life in the sunshine
And I’m not going back
I’m gonna waste my life in the sunshine

'Cause this is nowhere
Yeah this is nowhere
This is nowhere
Yeah this is nowhere

 Black Veil Brides - When They Call My Name

I'm gonna get out
If it's the last thing that I do
And in my heart
My 15 minutes are burned through
I won't come back to fall off track
The way that I survived
It's a violent world
But today I'm still alive

I need you to tell me everything will be alright
To chase away the voices in the night
When they call my name
Have I gone insane?

Woah oh! Woah oh oh oh!
Woah oh! Woah oh oh oh!

These thoughts'll kill me
And everything that I hold true
And as I grow
I let my fear replace my youth
I won't turn back, I won't cross that
Hidden danger line
It's a loud and dark world
But I think I've found the light

I need you to tell me everything will be alright
To chase away the voices in the night
When they call my name
Have I gone insane?

I need you to tell me everything will be alright
To chase away the voices in the night
When they call my name
Have I gone insane?

I need you to tell me everything will be alright
To chase away the voices in the night
When they call my name
Have I gone insane?

Woah oh! Woah oh oh oh!
Woah oh! Woah oh oh oh!
Woah oh! Woah oh oh oh!
Woah oh! Woah oh oh oh!

Second Timothy Chapter Two

 1    THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2    And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men,
    who shall be able to teach others also.

3    Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4    No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;  that he may please him who
    hath chosen him to be a soldier.

5    And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6    The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

7    Consider what I say;  and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

8    Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

9    Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds;  but the word of God is not bound.

10    Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which
    is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11    It is a faithful saying:  For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12    If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:  if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13    If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful:  he cannot deny himself.

14    Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not
     about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
    dividing the word of truth.

16    But shun profane and vain babblings  for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17    And their word will eat as doth a canker:  of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18    Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already;  and
    overthrow the faith of some.

19    Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,  The Lord knoweth them that are his.
    And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20    But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth;
    and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21    If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet
    for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

22    Flee also youthful lusts:  but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord
    out of a pure heart.

23    But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

24    And the servant of the Lord must not strive;  but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25    In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;  if God peradventure will give them repentance
    to the acknowledging of the truth;

26    And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

CheVelle - Door to Door Cannibals

 CheVelle - Door to Door Cannibals

Your name isn't proud demented man
Hold tight to the lie you sold to them
Take God and the case below
It falls on the day with much to learn

But you didn't get it
No you didn't get it
But you didn't get it
No you didn't

They're like cannibals full of grass stealing lives
And I swear I won't be found
See a door like advice, like a light
I'm getting out alive
I'm getting out alive

Could you tell I've been back too long
Fingers in the face Kid you not,
Feel it go limp like a rag doll
Crushed
Never jealous But the rage keeps a chance for the edge
This saint's about to roll

But you didn't get it
No you didn't get it
But you didn't get it
No you didn't

They're like cannibals full of grass stealing lives
And I swear I won't be found
See a door like advice, like a light
I'm getting out alive
I'm getting out alive

Getting out
Getting out
Getting out

They're like cannibals full of grass stealing lives
And I swear I've just been found
See a door like advice, like a light
Might not be getting out alive

They're like cannibals full of grass stealing lives
And I swear I've just been found
See a door like advice, like a light
Might not be getting out alive

Getting out

Greta Van Fleet Candlelight Sessions - Light My Love (live )

 Greta Van Fleet - Light My Love

Can you light my love?
Flames glowing bright as the sun
Deeper than oceans you run
Watch as our world has begun
Your mind is a stream of colors
Extending beyond our sky
A land of infinite wonders
A billion light years from here now
Whoa, light my love
Whoa, light my love
I have seen pictures of time
The frames still in motion I find
A grand revolution outlined
Hate bound by fear will unwind
Your mind is a stream of colors
Extending beyond our sky
A land of infinite wonders
A billion light years from here now
Whoa, light my love
Whoa, light my love
Oh-whoa
Ooh
Whoa, light my love
Whoa, light my love
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry - Live @ Adelaide Oval Australia 29/11/22

 Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry

Talk to me softly, there's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow and please don't cry
I know how you feel inside, I've, I've been there before
Something is changing inside you and don't you know?

Don't you cry tonight, I still love you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper and give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now and please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you and the times we had, baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied, oh
And please remember how I felt inside now, honey
You gotta make it your own way but you'll be alright now, sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow, come the morning light now, baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight, baby, maybe someday
Don't you cry, don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight

Greta Van Fleet Candlelight Sessions – Tears of Rain (Live)

 Greta Van Fleet  – Tears of Rain 

Bathing in the light around us
Praying for the night to comfort thee
Dancing on the coals below us
Praying for the flood to set us free

And the planet is still turning
And the faces are still burning
And the mothers with their children
Search for the rain

Drifting through the plains before us
As it turns to dust before our eyes
Pleading for a god to pour us
Just a little bit of rain from an empty sky

And the planet is still turning
And the faces are still burning
And the mothers with their children
Search for the rain

Yeah
Who will bring the rain? Oh
Who will bring the rain? Hey
Who will bring the rain?
Oh, no, no
Who will bring the rain? Oh
Who will bring it
Who will bring the rain?

CheVelle - Jim Jones (Cowards, Part 2) live at Steelhouse in Omaha on 8/12/25

 CheVelle - Jim Jones (Cowards, Part 2)

A few signs to avoid 
Those in power and ready to fix 
First things first  
The dirty danger is
Poison ain’t relief hate to say 
Cuz you’ve been drinking it 

And yet the cowards  
Go running out soon 
Hiding behind some religion 
So allow me  
To calculate  
When the leaders don’t drink  
from it first 
The brainwashed have lost 

Last in line but not alone 
They sure did love that, 
blue koolaid 
End of days, 
The End of an age begins 
With a little bit of dick 

Point us in 
To the middle of the jungle tent 
Still hearing voices playing telephone  
You’ve been living by these tales 
Still hearing voices from the  
Cowards  
 
Running out soon 
Hiding behind some religion  
So allow me 
to calculate  
When the leaders don’t drink  
From it first 
the f---ing brainwashed have lost  
brainwashed have lost  

Cowards  
running out 
hiding behind some religion  
so allow me  
to calculate  
when the leaders don’t drink from it first  
from it first
