"So Far" Sung by Rose Carlotti with The Heart Throbs in 1992

The Heart Throbs formed in 1986, initially by Rose Carlotti and Stephen Ward, both college students, who recruited Rose's sister Rachel DeFreitas and Mark Side. Rose and Rachel are sisters of the late Echo & the Bunnymen drummer Pete DeFreitas. The band released their first single in mid-1987 on Marc Riley's In-Tape label. They were then signed by Rough Trade, for whom they released two singles, both hits on the UK Independent Chart. After two further singles on their own label, Profumo (a reference to John Profumo), The Heart Throbs were signed by the UK record label One Little Indian Records.[1] Guitarist Alan Barclay aka Alan Borgia joined at this time, allowing original guitarist Ward to move to keyboards. Their first album, Cleopatra Grip, was distributed in the US by Elektra Records, after which they were signed by A&M Records, who released Jubilee Twist in the US. After disappointing sales, however, A&M elected not to distribute their third and final album, Vertical Smile. The first and third albums were named after euphemisms for female genitalia, while the jubilee twist is a martial combat technique for attacking the male genitalia.

"Mother's ruin"
She said to herself
"I'm just screwing my own mental health"
But Fridays and Saturdays
She walks down those alleyways
A latter day lady of the lamp

How you doing?
You ain't from round here
Won't you come in?
I'm really not scared
'Cause Fridays and Saturdays
I still do it anyways
And anything is better than out there

Now don't wake me up again
Don't let me feel anything
But when you go
Let me dream that I go with you
So I won't cry myself dry anymore

Mothers ruin
Their own little girls
Keep them dreaming
There's more to this world
But turn her the other way
And every day's Father's day
He stays until there's nothing left to say

But don't wake me up again
Don't let me feel anything
But when you go
Let me dream that I go with you
'Cause I can't take it round here anymore

Now don't wake me up again
Don't let me feel anything
But when you go
Let me dream that I go with you
So you won't make my heart ache anymore
Leave the light on and don't shut the door

You close your eyes and you will see
Micro-flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see
It still looks like the same thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see
The sound asleep

I want to go, I want to go
I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference
Is my swimming pool

My, my swimming pool
Still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally
The sound asleep

Feel the muscles in your face
Twitch, relax, remembering
Everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep

Insomnia, no sleep disease
Petties parking, feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep

I wanna get married
Yes, I need a spouse
I want a nice Leave it to Beaverish
Golden retriever and a little white house
I wanna get married
I need to cook meals
I wanna pack you cute little lunches
For my Brady bunches
Then read Danielle Steele
I wanna escape
This rat race I've created
I'm feelin' enervated
I don't care if I make it
I just want to bake a sugar cake for you
To take to work in the morn
And I'll stay home cleaning the dishes
And keeping your wishes all warm
I wanna get married
That's why I was born

I wanna partake in bake sales for the classroom
I wanna hear the sweet tune
Of Sally's little vroom-vroom
As she zooms around my broom
As I exhume the gloom
Of my shallow life
I wanna be simple and honest and dimpled
'cause I am your wife
I will never tarry
I'm not even torn
I wanna get married
That's why I was born

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother what will I be
Will I be pretty will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be will be

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother what will I be
Will I be handsome will I be rich
I tell them tenderly

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be will be
Que Sera Sera

What if God fell from the sky
Would you notice- or just walk by
What if christ took your hand
And you just ran
What if I couldn't see
I was twelve - so trusting
You take hands - put on me
You had needs
So don't tell me 'bout nothin'
Cuz I don't wanna know it
I don't wanna know it
Don't talk about your morals
If you ain't gonna show it
You ain't gonna show it
Don't tell me 'bout religion
If you ain't gonna live it
And you sure ain't living it
And don't talk about love
If you ain't gonna give it
What if God fell from the sky
Would you notice- or just walk by
What if christ took your hand
And you just ran
Would you be damned
Don't tell me 'bout nothing
Cuz uh - I don't wanna know it
I don't wanna know it
Don't talk about your morals
If you ain't gonna show it
And you ain't gonna show it
Don't tell me 'bout religion
If you ain't gonna live it
And you sure ain't living it
And don't talk about love (more on that later )
If you ain't gonna give it
What if God fell from the sky
Would you notice- or just walk by
What if christ took your hand
And you just ran
Would you be damned
M m m h m m
So take my hand

Lately when I'm in my room all by myself
In the solitary gloom I call to myself

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you

Better forget him, him with his nose in the air
He has you dancin' on a string, break it and he won't care

Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes [Are you talking to me?]
Love never made a fool of you [Not until now]
You used to be too wise [Yes, I was once]

Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Or am I not seein' things too clear
Are you just too far gone to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other

Chris Connor Sings "What Is There to Say" in 1954

Chris Connor (November 8, 1927 – August 29, 2009) was an American jazz singer.




What is there to say and what is there to do?
The dream I've been seeking has practically speaking come true
What is there to say and how will I pull through?
I knew in a moment, contentment and home meant just you

You are so lovable, so livable, your beauty is just unforgivable
You're made to marvel at and words to that effect
So, what is there to say and what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock, I'd even face wedlock with you

You are so lovable, so livable, your beauty is just unforgivable
You're made to marvel at and words to that effect
So, what is there to say and what is there to do?
My heart's in a deadlock, I'd even face wedlock with you

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate - MAY - mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

Françoise Hardy Sings "Le Temps de L'amour" (1964)

"Le temps de l’amour"
Lyrics: Lucien Morisse and André Salvet
Music: Jacques Dutronc
First sung by: José Salcy and his Jam’s, 1962.



C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient, on ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour, c'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient

On se dit qu'à vingt ans, on est le roi du monde
Et qu'éternellement, il y aura dans nos yeux tout le ciel bleu

C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient, on ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour, ça vous met au cœur
Beaucoup de chaleur et de bonheur

Un beau jour c'est l'amour et le cœur bat plus vite
Car la vie suit son cours et l'on est tout heureux d'être amoureux

C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient, on ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour, c'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient.

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display 'cause

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
Oh, don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live

Tamara Christensen 2013

I met Tamara at a design conference last year. She spoke about "Sense Storming" which was pretty neat. Then we shared a cigarette after and got acquainted. I must've given her my card 'cause she emailed me not long after that. Then she came by for lunch with the rest of the dudes from work and me. Then We went to visit her at the Idea Farm, which was pretty great and now we're working on her website. Aaron and Ryan had a photo shoot with Tamara for that project just this past weekend and this comes from one of the pictures they made. So, I like Tamara. Think she's pretty smart.
