Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along

Mixed reviews of the album cover and the first single “Break Anotha”. Check it out on his MySpace page. Not entirely won over by the cover, but I definitely do like the song. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the CD. Slightly reminds me of the Black Eyed Peas album Elefunk.

Yep – thought so. That damn quiver in her voice at the end of her song last night sealed the deal. I will admit – I do like her song: “This is my now”. It’s very emotional and perfect for the show – wonder who chose it for her. Oh well… I’ll buy her album – and Blake’s His beatboxin’ it so hot. Soooooo hot. Especially tonight’s show – O M G! This was a pretty good finale . I’d only seen Kelly Clarkson’s performance during the first season’s finale… other than that, I didn’t see any other finale. She’s still my favorite AI (shocker – right).

It was awesome to see her sing her new single “Never Again”. Can you say WOW?! Loved it. Awesome song from an awesome girl. Then it was Carrie Underwood – yes, another favorite of mine. *sigh* And those kids?! Dude – I thought I was going to cry! They were so adorable! Then – Bette Midler! I wish I was there! Maybe next year I’ll go seeing as how I’ll be 2400 miles closer and can drive to see it

Blake will still have a place in my heart hehe – mmm – he’s so YUMMY!!

This Is My Now
by Scott Krippayne & Jeff Peabody

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end.
Baby, that was then.
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.

I had to decide.
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside,
Try to turn the tide.
Find the strength to take that step of faith?

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.

I have a courage like never before, yeah.
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.
Ready for more…

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
This is my now.
