Such a great live version of this song on the Elevation DVD that came out a few years ago. And I love the $16 program that lets me record from any audio source. Sure, I’ve been able to grab audio from DVDs for going on 2 years now, but Audio Hijack really does do a clean rip. The first time I grabbed these songs, I guess the levels weren’t where they needed to be. This little program has an equalizer and all kinds of cool presets. So I’ve got a couple of DVDs to rip — I almost said over the weekend, but my weekend is done. Didn't mean to sound like a commercial. Did I mention this thing can grab things like say, internet radio, and that it has a timer — perfect if there's stuff I want to listen to, but don't want to drag my ass out bed for...

Anyway, this song feels particularly relevant for some reason. I’m finally feeling good about myself. Haircut and color turned out well today, stylist even commented on how much weight I’ve lost. And yet, I don’t have anyone to hang out with regularly. Maybe that will change this weekend, but I kinda doubt it. It seems like every time I feel good about myself, plans get canceled and people flake. Need to remember to not worry about that stuff. I guess.

So I’m torn between being happy with what I have, wishing for something different or throwing caution to the wind and entering full-on “go for it” mode. What I end up doing will end up somewhere in the middle I guess. Life is too short to not take chances. I’ve been through rejection; there’s not going to be a whole lot that stings more than being told by your husband he loves you but isn’t in love with you. I’ve had disappointment in the past week or two, and I’ve moved on.

Actually, I’m not sure how many of my situations this song applies to. I love the song. I guess I figured I’d throw it in here because it’s always made me introspective.

My thoughts and I will now go to bed, since I have to be up at a relatively decent hour. Again.

With or Without You
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
