A special edition in honor of Labor Day, declared by the U.S. Department of Labor. "The first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."

Everyone's watching, to see what you will do

Everyone's looking at you, oh

Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight

Everyone's trying to get it right, get it right

Everybody's working for the weekend

Everybody wants a little romance

Everybody's goin' off the deep end

Everybody needs a second chance, oh

You want a piece of my heart

You better start from start

You wanna be in the show

Come on baby lets go

Everyone's looking to see if it was you

Everyone wants you to come through

Everyone's hoping it'll all work out

Everyone's waiting they're holding out

Everybody's working for the weekend

Everybody wants a little romance

Everybody's goin' off the deep end

Everybody needs a second chance, oh

You want a piece of my heart

You better start from start

You wanna be in the show

Come on baby lets go

You want a piece of my heart

You better start from start

You wanna be in the show

Come on baby lets go

You want a piece of my heart

You better start from start

You wanna be in the show

Come on baby lets go

Songwriters: Paul Dean / Matthew Frenette / Mike Reno

How can we make amends when we said all we said?

I call and you don't pick up

How can I say instead that I hope it's for the best?

I won't, and I won't give up

I'm sorry, Mother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

How can we push aside all the bad and make it right

Now you got me all choked up

I'm sorry, brother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man, I make my own luck

How can we both pick sides when we know nothing's right?

Open up the door that's shut

How can I have my pride and drink away my soul tonight?

Sorrow's filling up my cup

I'm sorry, father

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man, I make my own luck

Well some birds aren't meant to be caged

And I just can't see the light of day

Please forgive me I can't remember

Please forgive me, no one is calling

Please forgive me, I can't believe it

No

Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow

Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go

It's hard to stay

It's hard to stay

'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged

How can I set us free?

I'm what you taught me to be

Shouldn't that be enough?

It's time that we make amends

Let's forget the things we said

You know we were all just stuck

I'm sorry, mother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry, father

I didn't stick around

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man, I make my own luck

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much

Just like my old man, I make my own luck

And some birds aren't meant to be caged

And some just won't see the light of day

Please forgive me I can't remember

Please forgive me, no one is calling

Please forgive me, I can't believe it

No

Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow

Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go

It's hard to stay

It's hard to stay

'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man, I make my own luck

Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man, I make my own luck

I've got these letters tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of where I come from
And the long hard road to get me back home

Back to my mama who raised me up right
And back to my lady, I held every night
It's a long hard road trying to get home

I'd been gone now for too long

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home

I've got this image engraved in my mind
Of a life that I had in a whole different time
It still breathes and lives at the end of the road

I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home

I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home

I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
I won't give up

I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home

I'm just trying to get home

Oh, something tells me

I'm never gonna live this one down

But I'll try but I'm gonna need a quick hand,

A sharp eye, a smooth talker

Just to play this one out to the very end.

And this is where you come in

I know, that I could count on you to walk me through

And I'm making sure that everyone who's anyone

Can be the someone that they've always wanted to.

If I couldn't get away with anything

Then how in the hell did I get here?

Say something. Say anything.

You were never the one to have something to say.

Say something. Say something. Say anything.

I've seen the best and worst of you

But we're sticking through

Because without all of the ups and downs

We've been through

You know that it's true

That I could really get sick and tired of you.

Oh, something tells me

I'm never gonna live this one down

But I'm down and out

Cause if the tensions light as a feather

Then I'd be bored stiff

We gotta mix things up a bit to keep up my interest

Sad enough to say that

Alone I could barely light a match

But together we can burn this place down.

Sorry about the mess

But when we team up, team up

We always seem to bring this place to the ground

And this is where you come in

I know, that I could count on you to walk me through

And I'm making sure that everyone who's anyone

Can be the someone that they've always wanted to.

I've seen the best and worst of you

But we're sticking through

Because without all of the ups and downs

We've been through

You know that it's true

That I could really get sick and tired of you. 

[x2]

Sad enough to say that

Alone I could barely light a match

But together we can burn this place down. 

[x5]

Sorry about the mess

But when we team up, team up

We always seem to bring this place to the ground

I've seen the best and worst of you

But we're sticking through

Because without all of the ups and downs

We've been through

You know that it's true

That I could really get sick and tired of you.

#MusicMonday - "Looking Up" by Paramore

#MusicMonday is dedicated to "Looking Up" by Paramore, which was off of their Brand New Eyes album that was released in 2009. In May 2017, Paramore released a new album called, After Laughter. Check it out!

Things are looking up

Oh, finally

I thought I'd never see the day

When you'd smile at me

We always pull through

Oh, when we try

I'm always wrong

But you're never right

Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

Could have given up so easily

I was a few cheap shots away

From the end of me

Taken for granted

Almost everything

That I would have died for

Just yesterday

Just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

God knows the world doesn't need another band

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

But what a waste it would've been

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Yeah, we're just getting started

#MusicMonday - "Nothing Else Matters" Metallica Cover by Steve'n'Seagulls

#MusicMonday this week is dedicated to the cover that Steve'n'Seagulls did of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. 

Original "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica

 So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say

Never cared for games they play

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

And I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

No nothing else matters
