PA Grandma, Joyce, use to post on this Depression forum, and for awhile did a column of jokes and words of wisdom. Her last column was 5/1/2018 before she passed away not long after that.

For about a week, I wrote her column for her, which consisted largely of sayings. I came across some jokes lately and thought I would post some of them. Joyce included humor in her column, so that reminds me of her, also.

Lyrics

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Love hurts

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two
I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Love hurts

Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts

Love Hurts lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group


I didn’t mean to fall in love, but I did.

You didn’t mean to hurt me, but you did.

about the songwriter.

by Geoffrey Himes, americansongwriter.com

If you wanted to boil down all of popular music to just two words — or better yet down to just two syllables — you couldn’t do better than “Love Hurts.” The great majority of all songs are variations on this two-beat meme. Love gets us up in the morning, obsesses us all day and keeps us up at night, alternating brief moments of ecstasy with stretches of anguish.
Usually we’re talking about romantic love, but it could also be love of family or love of friends, love of home or love of drink. Countless songs have tried to explain how the thing that’s so thrilling one moment can be so painful the next, but only one song boiled it down to nine letters.
The songwriters who performed this prodigious act of distillation in 1960 were Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, a husband-and-wife team in Nashville who’d already had #1 pop hits with the Everly Brothers and top-10 country hits with Carl Smith, Eddy Arnold and Little Jimmy Dickens.
.
Boudleaux (pronounced BOOD-low) was a classically trained violinist; Felice (pronounced feh-LEESS) couldn’t read music, but they worked together seamlessly to create marvels of minimalism that are still sung today — songs such as “Bye Bye Love,” “All I Have To Do Is Dream,” “Rocky Top,” “Sleepless Nights,” “How’s the World Treating You” and “Love Hurts.”

Earlier versions of the song by the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison, but the article says, “the best version of “Love Hurts” is the incandescent duet between Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, recorded in 1973….”

And along those lines:

Lyrics

Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go

So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so

Softly, as I leave you there
Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go

So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Softly, as I leave you there

Just Walk Away, Renee

Four Tops

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day

Just walk away, Renée
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

From deep inside the tears
I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain
That I chose to hide

Just walk away, Renée
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain burns down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

Your name and mine inside
A heart on a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me
Though they're so small

Just walk away, Renée
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

GLOAMING by me

The warm afternoon sun
Drops behind the houses
As I sit on the front stoop

Light and air soften, a sigh...
Muscles relax and eyes close
Listening to the evening song of.
birds

A small smile comes as
Another day closes
The chaos of this day is gently
erased

There are no words in the
English language to describe
my gratitude for nature

Peace settles into my soul
I sleep knowing I will awake
To the birds morning song.

Along these somber tones:

Lyrics

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on just holding on to time
Now that we're living (living) separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show (never let it show)
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Ah, separate lives

To Blackie
I saw him stretch
As he welcomed the sun,
Thinking not of the night
Or the cold that had come.

When he saw me approach
He came to the fence,
As I put through my hand
He gave out a wench

As cold as it had been
The night before,
Whenever he pleaded
No one opened the door

But he gave it his best
And had survived the night
And so the sun coming up
Was a much-welcomed sight

The weather man had said
It would be cold as ice,
Why do some people leave
Their dogs out at night?

Lyrics
Sing the song, everybody
C'mon

If you don't know me by now (wunderbar)
You will never, never, never know me
Oooh
Now all the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To upset our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
You know we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me, baby
(You will never never never know me)
No, you won't (oooh)
Oooh, yeah, c'mon
Oh, if you don't know me, girl
(You will never never never know me)
You... (Uuuh)

We've all got
Our own funny moods
I've got mine
I bet you woman you've got yours too
You better trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me, baby
(You will never never never know me)
No, you won't (Oooh)
No, you won't, no, you won't, no, you won't
Twenty long years we've been together
(You will never never never know me)
(Ooohh) ooh ooh-ooh oh
Well...
Oooh (You will never never never know me)
No, you won't (oooh)

Whatever it takes.

How have I been doing?

Well, Jim Croce knows something about that.

Lyrics
Operator, O could ya help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend, Ray
Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

Operator, O could ya help me place this call?
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
No, no, no, no
That's not the way it feels

Operator, O let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

And then there is:

Lyrics
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Then if you must go
I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried

Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Like a Rolling Stone

Lyrics
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
about having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
A complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

I like Bob Dylan
Just today talking to a deadhead I know, about the 1987 Dead/Bob Dylan Tour
Here is the link we chatted about.

We both agreed it doesn't take a scientist to fiqure out Dylan had stage fright..

You said, “I like Bob Dylan.

“We both agreed it doesn't take a scientist to fiqure out Dylan had stage fright.”

I don't know what you base that on.

I went to the net about that and found almost nothing. Until I saw a story in The Village Voice on Nov. 2, 2016, which covered that pretty well.

It said, “Maybe its just how I feel, but I think the song (“Stage Freight” by "The Band") is about Bob Dylan since they backed him during the infamous 1966 tour. Ive always loved the song but it just dawned upon me it could be about Dylan.”

“Yet Dylan’s stage fright, as the Band reminded us in its first solo number, was painfully evident. “`Lay Lady Lay' ... was simply rushed, hurried through and cast off like the last tune in a long, tedious rehearsal. Dylan was scared. What appeared at first to be new sparkles and flourishes on a laid-back country song was really his nervousness showing through.”

I came unglued while reading in a high school history class. He writes his songs in private and it's a different matter when he performs.

How did you first notice that? The poetry in "Like a Rolling Stone" is really something. How do you like those lyrics?

LIFE IT SEEMS TO FADE AWAY,
DRIFTING FURTHER EVERY DAY,
GETTING LOST WITHIN MYSELF
NOTHING MATTERS, NO ONESELF.
I HAVE LOST THE WILL TO LIVE,
SIMPLY NOTHING MORE TO GIVE,
THERE IS NOTHING MORE FOR ME,
NEED THE END TO SET ME FREE.

VERSE, FADE TO BLACK (METALLICA) MOST DEEPEST TRACK I HAVE EVER HEARD OF PAIN. HT
