Oren Lavie's Her Morning Elegance

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasantly strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Meu Guarda Chuva

Paula Lima

Composição: Jorge Ben

MEU GUARDA CHUVA

Mas quando eu comecei a gostar de você
Você me abandonou
Agora chorar que é bom
Chorar que eu quero ver
Vai começar a chover
Só eu tenho o guarda chuva
Adivinha quem vai se molhar
Quem vai se molhar é você
Também pode chorar que eu não volto atrás
Pois no meu guarda chuva não te levo mais

Ninguém mais do que eu
Chorou, brigou por você
Ninguém mais do que eu
Sofreu, amou só você

She sang Vou Deixar.



Vou deixar
Paula Lima

Composição: Indisponível

Ele falou, chegou, suave no ouvido
Oh Preta seu gingado me alucina oh!
Eu olhei, pensei
Esse charme me fascina eu vou saber de onde ele vem
O que ele pensa, de que forma vai tratar sua rainha
Ter certeza que não eu vou me arrepender

Esse sorriso (sorriso)
Malicia (malicia)
A minha pele arrepia oh

Vou deixar você chegar
Vou deixar você chegar


All other in Sinceramente.

Inspired by Susan Boyle (and Paul Potts)

From H:

After reading Penelope say that your day job does not destroy you, I felt more confident about focusing on the practical. There are so many variables in life. So many what if's.

Part of me wants to surrender to que sera, sera.
Part of me shares The White Tiger's (by Aravind Adiga) view. No to predestination.

So I'm at peace with predestination, even as I am fighting it. Because hey, who knows? Maybe my predestination is wayyyyyyy better than what I have in mind.

How to Heal after a Heartbreak

Life can be good again.

Go to bed early says fromheartbreaktowholeness.blogspot.com

Dr Phil's advice:

Sometimes the relationship you need to rescue is the one with yourself. Moving past a breakup is about you, not your ex.

Don't start thinking about being friends right away — if ever. You have to be your own friend first.

The relationship gym's advice: 7 Steps

My two cents:
Cry for a bit. Then stop.
Think of the days when you weren't together yet and you were so, so, so very happy.

Love, Life, BREAK UPS

Remember, if you break up with someone, it is only because there is someone else waiting for you. - From SoundOfLife

The rest of the quotes I found on SoundOfLife's page:


Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. - Anonymous

“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.”

“The hottest love has the coldest end.” - Rocrates


“The pain of having a broken heart is not so much as to kill you, yet not so little as to let you live.”

“I don’t miss him, I miss who I thought he was.”

“If you’re going thru hell, keep going.”

You don’t die from a broken heart, you only wish you did.

“I guess we all make mistakes sometimes But you were my biggest. ”

“I don’t make mistakes.. I just date them.”
