--How do i live (1997)--

"How Do I Live" is a 1997 song, written by Diane Warren. It was released originally by LeAnn Rimes and shortly afterward by Trisha Yearwood.

~
The song was originally intended for release as a single for the 1997 action blockbuster Con Air soundtrack. Warren wrote the song for Rimes to sing. The film producers felt that Rimes' version had too much of a pop feeling to it, and requested that she re-record it to fit their standards. She refused, and the producers chose Trisha Yearwood to record the song. Her more country-style version was released on May 27, 1997 and appeared in the film. When Rimes heard of the release, she quickly released her version.

--How am I supposed to live without you (1983)--

"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" is a song originally recorded by Laura Branigan in 1983. The song was recorded later the same decade by its writer, Michael Bolton.
~
The second single from Branigan's second solo album Branigan 2, it spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. It was a Top 10 hit on the ARC Top 40 chart and peaked at #12 on the Hot 100. Branigan's single also hit the #1 spot on the Adult Contemporary charts in Canada. This success came without benefit of a music video. Branigan performed the song on the syndicated music countdown show Solid Gold in the autumn of 1983 and on the popular holiday special Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.
~
Michael Bolton co-wrote the song, and Branigan's record was his first major hit as a songwriter. Bolton, whose own recording career would not take off until 1987, went on to co-write the rock ballad "I Found Someone" for Branigan's Hold Me album in 1985, and she also recorded his song "It's Been Hard Enough Getting Over You" in 1993 for Over My Heart. Though Branigan 2 went out of print in 2004, Branigan's original version appears on the albums The Best of Branigan (1995), The Essentials: Laura Branigan (2002) and Laura Branigan: The Platinum Collection (2006).

--When a Man Loves a Woman--

"When a Man Loves a Woman" is a song recorded by Percy Sledge in 1966 at Norala Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama. It made number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts. It was listed 54th in the List of Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest songs of all time. The sidemen for this recording included Spooner Oldham, organ; Marlin Greene, guitar; Albert "Junior" Lowe, bass and Roger Hawkins, drums. The song is credited to Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, who played bass and keyboards with Sledge. However, the song was in fact written by Percy Sledge himself, but he gave it to Lewis and Wright.

~

It was later covered by Michael Bolton in 1991, whose version also reached number one on the U.S. pop and adult contemporary singles charts (Bolton also received a Grammy Award for this song). Barbara Mandrell recorded a Country version of the song that same year. The song has also been recorded by Art Garfunkel and Luba.
~

Sledge's version was also a top ten hit in the UK peaking at number four on its initial release and peaking at number two in 1987 after it was featured in a Levi's Jeans commercial. The song makes use of a commonly used descending bass line chord progression as in Bach's "Air on a G String".

--Can This Be Right? It’s Bad to Be a Lefty?--

What do Leonardo Da Vinci, Jimi Hendrix, Angelina Jolie, Barack Obama, and my two daughters have in common? OK, yes, they’re all charismatic and powerful individuals whose talents impress all who know them. But I was thinking of something else: They’re all left handed! At least that’s true according to published reports (though I can vouch for the last two members on the list).

~

Even with such famous brethren, lefties may wonder why they are the way they are—especially when they’re trying to cut with made-for-righty scissors or after smudging the ink across the page as they write. After all, it’s a right-handed world: Lefties only make up 10 percent of the population.

~

Lefties (and those who love them) may also wonder if there is any truth to the bandied-about idea that lefties don’t live as long as righties.

-- "Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)"~John Lennon (1974)--

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
~
I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
~
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine
~
I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
~
Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep, ooo wee!
~
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.....

--S.A.D.N.E.S.S--

The last time that i saw you i saw the pain in your eyes,
I saw the desperation creep out from your disguise.
I didn't know what i had to say or what i had to do,
I didn't know it would be the last time that i ever saw you....
~
I wish i would have held you hand, or smiled at you, or waved,
Maybe if i had've your life could have been saved?
But i too was in a mess and i found i could'nt speak,
I thought i would just leave it and talk to you next week.
~
Another young life has come to an end,
Another son or daughter, another best friend.
Another thousand people have been left to wonder why,
Another soul has been set free while the rest of us just cry....
~
I wonder if you cried that morning when you were so alone?
I wish people would just stop saying "if only we'd have known".
I wonder what you were thinking as that rope pulled so tight?
I wonder if i'd have talked to you if you would have been alright?
~
Another young life has come to an end,
Another son or daughter, another best friend,
Another thousand people have been left to wonder why,
Another young person now smiles....
But the rest of us just cry......
