Default Live - "Heaven"

This “thread” is dedicated to my daughter!

I heard this song when I was still living in Depoe Bay and many times thereafter.

Didn’t know who the artist was or the title of the song and even asked folks at the Sportsman show with no success.

Last night after being so jazzed about seeing my daughter for the first time in probably six months (last week at the Sportsman show), I again pursued the answer and attempted to purchase the CD.

It was kinda funny I looked in the yellow pages for music stores and didn’t know what to look under.
Music category had instruments but I was looking for a CD. :grin:
Figured I would not find it under “records” as they are listed as “threatened” on the ESA.
Who knows, maybe they have been moved to “endangered”. :grin:
It’s been many years since I have purchased a “record”.

After asking about everyone in town including a couple “compact disc” stores :grin: , thinking the lyric’s went something along the lines of; I don’t need proof there is a heaven, I see it in my daughter”, I was again out-of-luck. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

Mike at Target in Longview went the extra mile and knew I wasn’t hallucinating and got stumped even calling all the employees on the store phone/intercom and again nobody could figure the song out! :whazzup:

Got back in town and desperate after attempting to call the local “pop station” a hundred times, I called Mike at the local Target store before getting online and doing a Google search.
He was ecstatic saying; I figured it out as soon as you left”.
Good Lord, why not when I was there?

I was on my way to Target before I got off the phone.
Mike told me at the store that “Live” is a very good Christian group and I suspect that Mike is a Christian by his demeanor and knowledge of the group.

I was back on the road again to go listen to the CD and guess what song was playing on the radio?
Thay was cool, but a little late!

I would imagine my brother’s new band will be playing “Heaven” and even though my brother is a very devout Christian and a very talented guitarist, he had never heard the “hit song” before!

The whole experience was very bizarre and uplifting.

I saw my daughter for the first time in possibly 6 months at the Sportsman show the last two days (Saturday and Sunday).

I have to agree with the lyric’s; “I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven – I look at my daughter and I believe”!

I believe this song is going to help me be a better person.

I’m going to let go of my stubbornness and overlook my dislike for my daughter’s mom.

My daughter that is rapidly approaching 7 told me at the Sportsman’s show that her mom; “wants to be friends with me”.

That hurt me and I thought about my stupidity of not being a bigger part of my daughter’s life because of my differences between Emma and her mother.

Emma’s school teacher walked by the BS Fishtales booth (whom I was helping out) and she (Emma) went ballistic.
To see there hug’s and joy was something to behold and I had never even met her teacher!

My thoughts are that “daddy’s” are more important to a boy or girl growing up than my stubbornness.

I love my daughter and yes, I can see heaven and realize that God is for real when I spend time with her.

Even though the place I am living is very “primitive”, I don’t realize how good I have it.
I am typing this looking out my window at the Kalama tidewater just a matter of feet away.
I could throw some Wiggler’s from my door step but that isn’t my priority right now.

I would think that calling my daughter and simply saying “hello” and “yes”, I’ll be friends with your mother who I once was madly in love with.
Then I guess it will be time to make amends with her mother! [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img]

Life can be sweet if you let it happen!
Life is short and make the best of it!

I have a lot of friends and relatives that love me and it is about time that I realize that and release my bitterness because it is only destroying me and become the best that I can be.

Folks that claim that they don’t listen to the “lyric’s” when an artist is promoting ill behavior are wrong.

Subconsciously these “lyric’s” got to me.
Another “Butterfly Kisses”!

I am very blessed with the best dog in the world whom every body loves (except the UPS driver) and a very special, wonderful daughter.
I am very poor but life is good!
So what’s my problem?

Here’s the lyric’s:


Heaven


You don’t need no friends
Get back your faith again
You have the power to believe
Another dissident
Take back your evidence
It has no power to deceive
I believe it When I see it
For MYSELF

I don’t need no one
To tell me 'bout heaven
I look at my daughter and i believe
I don’t need no proof
When it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set
And i perceive

You sit with them all night
Everything they say is right
but in the mornin’ they were wrong
He'll be right by your side
come hell or water hi
Down any road you choose to run

I believe it
When I see it
For MYSELF
I don’t need no one
To tell me 'bout heaven
I look at my daughter and i believe
I don’t need no proof
When it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set
And I perceive yeah

Darling, I believe, Oh Lord
Sometimes it's hard to breathe, Lord
At the bottom of the sea, yeah yeah

I believe it
When I see it
For MYSELF
I don’t need no one
To tell me 'bout heaven
I look at my daughter and i believe
I don’t need no proof
When it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set
And I perceive
I don’t need no one
To tell me 'bout heaven
I look at my daughter and i believe
I don’t need no proof
When it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set
I can see the sun set
I can see the sun set
I don’t need no one
I don’t need no one
I don’t need no one
I don’t need no one
To tell me ‘bout heaven

Dano it's easy to get wrapped up in you own termoil but if you look around as you said there are many folks that have it much worse. God is watching over you Dan. Recieve his grace and glory, your life will never be the same again.

Just remember that us "Christians" are certainly not perfect. Just Forgiven. Take care.

Dan,
The band Live hasn't always walked the straight and narrow. The cool thing is they freely talk about life affirming events, and the fact that they have changed.

I cried the first time I heard that song, and it still makes the ol' tears well up. You met my daughter at ifishtock, and she is truly my daily reminder that God is great!

Take care Dan...

I'm so sorry Mojo but I can't remember who you are along with lot's other important individuals.

Send me an email with your pic.

I have cried several times today listening to that song and made the important move calling my daughter's mom and we are friends once again!

Wow! Holy St. Peter, did I actually say that?

Miracles do happen!!!

Dano
