Millions Of People

Millions of people in love
Rising like particles of dust
High above the two of us
Millions of people
Millions of people in pain
Falling like little drops of rain
All alone and all the same
Millions of people
Millions of people in clouds
Singing songs of hope and doubt
Millions of people in my
Life I turn to you now
Millions of people like stars
Living alone with battle scars
All across the universe
Millions of people
Millions of people in flight
Rising up just like butterflies
Like Lucy in the sky
Millions of people
Millions of people in clouds
Singing songs of hope and doubt
Millions of people in my
Life I turn to you now

Sunny Side Of Town
03:40
|

|
Here it’s always raining
Yeah it’s always coming down
The sun is swallowed up
By the clouds
Good hearts just keep breaking
Good friends just keep falling down
I look up to look
To the ground
Way-o-way I can’t find my way
And I can’t turn around
I’m goin’ to the sunny side of town
There’s a wrapping on my window
A tapping at my chamber door
Darkness there
And nothing more
Everyone is angry here
Everyone just puts you down
The dogs all talk and the people
They just growl
Way-o-way I can’t find my way
And I can’t turn around
I’m goin’ to the sunny side of town

New City
03:15
|

|
Under the rocks under the ground
Under the lights of Old Town
Over my head up in the clouds
I keep my eyes on you now
And I know that you will be with me
And I know that you will be with me
Under a blanket by the sea
Under lock, under key
Around the corner up the stairs
In the wind blown through your hair
And I know that you will be with me
And I know that you will be with me
In my new city, new city
My new city, new city
Under the bushes, under the stars
Under the lake there are no words
If I could speak in foreign tongues
And keep my eyes open
And I know that you will be with me
And I know that you will be with me
In my new city, new city
My new city, new city

Blue October
04:35
|
|||
|
No ring on your finger
No crown on your head
The summer’s over; it’s getting colder
Leaves are turning red
It’s been a blue October
A blue world
There is no silver lining
The clouds have all turned grey
The rain is falling, all morning
Carry you away
Into a blue October
A blue world
A blue October
A blue world
Your heart is on the pavement
Like a busted balloon
You’re sitting like an elephant
In the middle of the room
So high, so high
I know heaven
I know heaven seems so high
No princess in your tower
No fish in the sea
The road is muddy, everybody
Slowing down to see
A blue October
A blue world
No sunshine on your shoulder
Shining through the trees
You just get up and go to bed
And get back up again
It’s been a blue October
A blue world
A blue October
A blue world

The Worst Of Our Kind
04:10
|
|||
|
We are the worst of our kind and we know it
We take what we find and we stow it
We’re thieves in the night
And we’re ready to fight
For reasons we just can’t explain
Reasons we just can’t explain
Winding our way through the passes
Cutting all our morning classes
Standing in lines
Swinging from vines
And we don’t even know why we’re here
We don’t even know why we’re here
We’re turning away from the light
Learning the ways of the night
We’re turning away from the light
Learning the ways of the night
We speak with our usual crassness
Our cruelty carefully practiced
We’re drawing a line
In this shoal of time
And we’re coming to take you away
Coming to take you away
We scrape what we can from the bottom
Our gains have all been ill begotten
My memory strays
To a bright summer day
We were coming in out of the rain
Coming in out of the rain
We’re turning away from the light
Learning the ways of the night
We’re turning away from the light
Learning the ways of the night
We’re coming in out of the rain
We’re coming in out of the rain
We’re coming in out of the rain
We’re coming in out of the rain

It Is The Rain

It is the rain that makes the flowers
Makes the flowers, don’t you know?
It is the rain that makes the flowers
Makes the pretty flowers grow
Oh oh just a little bit of sunshine
Oh oh just a little bit of
You on my mind
It is the sun that makes the shadows
Makes the shadows, don’t you know?
It is the sun that makes the shadows
Makes the evening shadows grow
Oh oh just a little bit of sunshine
Oh oh just a little bit of
You on my mind
You on my mind
Just like the stars who keep dark hours
I keep dark hours don’t you know
Just like the stars who keep dark hours
I keep dark hours, for to glow, oh oh
Oh oh just a little bit of sunshine
Oh oh just a little bit of
You on my mind
You on my mind
You on my mind

Kings From Italy
03:36
|

|
Oh how happy we should be
Living like kings from Italy
Oh how happy we should be
Alive and running free
But oh no you just can’t let it go
Oh no you just can’t let it go
Move on down the road
The ase it has gone cold
But you just can’t let it go
Oh how happy we should be
Swinging like monkeys from a rubber tree
Oh how happy we should be
Praise the lord for the life we lead
But oh no you just can’t let it go
Oh no you just can’t let it go
Move on down the road
The case it has gone cold
But you just can’t let it go
Darkness is a blanket that comes over
I can’t find my way though it is plain to see
To everyone but me
But oh no you just can’t let it go
Oh no you just can’t let it go
Move on down the road
The case it has gone cold
But you just can’t let it go
Why can’t you just let it go?

Kids from Queens in leather jackets
On their ATVs
Kids from Queens in leather jackets
Holding onto the seat
High up in heaven
High up in heaven I’ll ride
High up in heaven
High up in heaven tonight
Kids on skis in California
Coming down through the trees
Kids on skis in California
Holding onto their knees
High up in heaven
High up in heaven I’ll ride
High up in heaven
High up in heaven tonight

All I Really Want
02:20
|

|
Nothin’, Nothin’
Nothin’ really matters at all
Cause all I really want is your love
Lonely, Lonely
I’ve been oh so lonely
And all I really want is your love
High as a mountain
Bright as the day
Sure as heaven above
Money, money
We might never have much
But all I really want is your love
High as a mountain
Bright as the day
Sure as heaven above
Maybe, maybe
Maybe I’m asking too much
But all I really want is your love

I Am Of The Stars

I, I am the key
Turning, turning, turning
Opening
I, I am the wheel
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Never still
I’m out of my mind
I, I am the bee
Working, working, working
Tirelessly
I, I am the street
Winding, winding, winding
Serpentine
I’m out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
I have no means to make things right
I am of the stars
I am of the sea
I am the rolling hill
The ocean breeze
Put me in your words
Put me in your dreams
Take me to your places
Set me free
I, I am the dog
Running, running, running
In circles
I, I am the steam
Rising, rising, rising
Covering
I’m out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
I have no means to make things right
I am of the stars
I am of the sea
I am the rolling hill
The ocean breeze
Put me in your words
Put me in your dreams
Take me to your places
Set me free
I am of the stars
I am of the sea
I am the rolling hill
The ocean breeze
Put me in your songs
Put me in your dreams
Take me to your places
Set me free

Swimming under that green lagoon
Under the swelling of the moon
We went up we went down
We crawled out and looked around
And we’re learning what it is to be free
Then we learned to love the sun
Filling our lungs with oxygen
We tried to touch the sky
From the mountains that we climbed
And we’re learning what it is to be free
Flying in our aeroplanes
High above the river Seine
Over the ocean to the coast
You're the girl I love the most
And I’m learning what it is to be free
Now I look up to the stars
And I wonder where you are
How I wish that you were here
And I miss you so my dear
I’m learning what it is to be free
Floating in a rocket ship
A million miles from that swim
The galaxy is wide
And I hope someday to find
You I’m learning what it is to be free
And I’m learning what it is to be free
And I’m learning what it is to be free

Flying Cowboys

Flying cowboys in their small planes
Wild horses in the southbound lane
Roll the wagon over the bridge
Now you know what heaven is
Old brown boxes and they’re all filled up
With pictures of the two of us
Holding hands high up on the ridge
Now you know what heaven is
All the good children read between the lines
Always and ever
All the good children know the reasons why
Always and ever
Always and ever
So long may you ride
Standing alone in this darkened room
Holding the candles for the bride and groom
No magic carpet can cover this
Now you know what heaven is
Now you know what heaven is
Now you know what heaven is

The Successful Failures Trenton, New Jersey
"The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal." - July 2020, Rock is the New Roll ... more

supported by 8 fans who also own “Wrong Together (2023)”
Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting!
