Summary of my day in song…
June 29th, 2009 by Rose“Everyone has so much to say
They talk, talk, talk their lives away
Don’t even hesitate
Walking on down to the burial ground
It’s a very old dance with a merry old sound
Looks like it’s on today…”

Full Moon – The Black Ghosts
May 24th, 2009 by Rose
When the thorn bush turns white that’s when I’ll come home
I am going out to see what I can sow
And I don’t know where I’ll go
And I don’t know what I’ll see
But I’ll try not to bring it back home with me
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me
As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be
Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone
Our intentions always last that bit too long
Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and
you’re still there
Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you’re still there
In the full moons light I listen to the stream
And in between the silence hear you calling me
But I don’t know where I am and I don’t trust who I’ve been
And If I come home how will I ever leave
How to copy files from iPod to iTunes on a mac
January 7th, 2009 by RoseSo iTunes stuffed up my music collection and I recently found out it had deleted my music from my folder. Partly the fault of my husband and partly my own silliness at not just keeping my own local copy and not sharing it!
ANYHOO it’s done and dusted but it still leaves with the problem that some of my stuff is on my iPod, so how to get it back to my computer??
I found a groovy tutorial which tells me how.
BUT my geeky hubby is out at the moment, soooo that leaves me all alone to navigate the wonderful world of Terminal on my own… so for the benefit of us noobs who have never ventured into these things, I have provided some additional steps. I’m sure there are better ways but this did the job for me :)
Step 1:
Go to http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-computer/P0/ and follow the instructions on page 2 towards the bottom
Step 2.
OK so you’ve copied the iPod_Control folder (or the Music folder within it) now copy it to somewhere on your computer. Then follow the instructions to show hidden files in your mac. Once you’ve done that you’ll need to open your Terminal window to do some bits so iTunes will be able to read the folders within it… so
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Step 3.
And type in
chflags nohidden /pathname/Music/
(where pathname is put the full path to where you put the Folder, to find this in Finder go to View > Show Path Bar )
That will then unhide the Music folder, but then you also need to unhide all the folders within it so you might need to do this a few times
Step 4.
type in
chflags nohidden /pathname/Music/F00
then press the up key and delete the letter 1 and put a 2 and so on…
chflags nohidden /pathname/Music/F01
chflags nohidden /pathname/Music/F02
Step 5.
Then you can go to iTunes and go to File > Add to Library (but read the rest of the instructions on the link above as you can get iTunes to sort it all again for you).
So yeah, I am happy I got some of my music back anyway!
Broken
August 10th, 2005 by RoseI’ve found my new favourite song.
Car Stereo Wars
Broken
Soft fading light
And on the street below
the people come and go
and the traffic rushes by and then the lights turn red
Cold now and it is getting late
And people look at their watches
As they wait for the bus
And there’s a man with no gloves and he blows on his fingers
And it gets dark so fast for such a long day
And the room is quiet and starts to fade away
Just the smell of cigarettes
And only one broken glass
And you would never guess
I have climbed up to the top of the tallest tree
And no one knows I’m here
And I could hide for hours and hours
And I can see for miles
And I have never fallen
And I will not come down
And the sun is shining
Downstairs someone is getting home
And the door slams
And running footsteps on the floor
And a stereo starts up
And they are laughing
And I can hear them talking
But I can’t quite make it out
And I wonder what their saying and
What they can find to talk about
And I wonder why he stays
And why he hasn’t walked out
I have climbed up to the top of the tallest tree
And no one knows I’m here
And I could hide for hours and hours
And I can see for miles
And I have never fallen
And I will not come down
And the sun is shining
Might as well be on Mars
July 28th, 2005 by Rose
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin’ down the hall
Midnight blues comin’ through the walls
I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain
I’m on the roof and I’m starin’ at the stars
Lookin’ down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on mars
The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
And you just live across the street
But that’s a billion miles away
You’ve turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin’
I’d cross the universe to be right where you are
But I’m right in your backyard
And I might as well be on mars
Chorus
I might as well be on mars
You can’t see me
I might as well be the man on the moon
You can’t hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on mars
Baby, I can’t fly
If I could I’d come down to ya
Maybe I should try
I’m on the roof and I’m starin’ at the stars
Lookin’ down at all lthe cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach is just too far
And I might as well be on mars
