You're listening to the News and Grooves podcast.

We bring you the best original music you will ever hear.
00:00:48.354 --> 00:00:51.417
Scream of steel just woke the night.
00:00:51.417 --> 00:01:00.072
Running shadows in dead moonlight, cold wind bites my tired face.
00:01:00.072 --> 00:01:04.210
Every step I'm losing grace.
00:01:04.210 --> 00:01:06.486
Give it up for me.
00:01:06.486 --> 00:01:16.790
You see, drenched in dust and destiny Breaking through this cage, I own.
00:01:16.790 --> 00:01:21.370
Give it up or be alone.
00:01:21.370 --> 00:01:26.990
Be alone.
00:01:26.990 --> 00:01:45.126
Crack of thunder Split in skies, false love, whispers, feeding lies, breath of fire Burning my veins, trapped in cycles, endless chains Give it up for me.
00:01:45.126 --> 00:01:55.549
You see, drenched in dust and destiny Breaking through this cage, I own.
00:01:55.549 --> 00:01:59.441
Give it up or be alone.
00:01:59.441 --> 00:02:25.691
Guitar, solo, walking, tight ropes made of pain.
00:02:25.691 --> 00:02:36.730
Every blessing feels like rape Falling under, but I climb, screaming loud.
00:02:36.730 --> 00:02:38.520
This is my time.
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.847
Give it up for me.
00:02:40.847 --> 00:02:51.435
You see, drenched in dust and destiny breaking through this cage, I own.
00:02:51.435 --> 00:03:24.695
Give it up or be alone.
00:03:24.695 --> 00:03:29.978
Guitar, solo, walking, tight ropes made of pain.
00:03:29.978 --> 00:03:41.006
Every blessing feels like rain Falling under, but I climb, screaming loud.
00:03:41.006 --> 00:03:42.891
This is my time.
00:03:42.891 --> 00:03:45.146
Give it up for me.
00:03:45.146 --> 00:03:55.528
You see, drenched in dust and destiny Breaking through this cage, I own.
00:03:55.528 --> 00:03:59.288
Give it up or be alone.
00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:03.149
Pizza paid for with jug of coins worth much more.
00:04:03.149 --> 00:04:06.141
I delivered pizza in high school One night.
00:04:06.141 --> 00:04:09.631
I had a delivery and it ended up being a couple of teenage stoners.
00:04:09.631 --> 00:04:15.485
They didn't have bills when I arrived, so instead they gave me a 5-gallon jug about half full of change.
00:04:15.485 --> 00:04:19.720
They told me they were going to count out the amount before I arrived, but forgot to.
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.401
I took it back with me and counted the silver.
00:04:22.401 --> 00:04:24.141
If I remember right, I took it back with me and counted the silver.
00:04:24.141 --> 00:04:31.223
If I remember right, the pizza was around $14, and the amount I was given in change was around $105, not counting the pennies.
00:04:31.223 --> 00:04:33.084
I was allowed to keep all of it.
00:04:33.084 --> 00:04:36.464
Besides, the money owed for the pizza Damn jug was heavy.
00:04:37.324 --> 00:04:41.166
Please don't forget that May 26 is Memorial Day.
00:04:41.166 --> 00:04:47.528
Don't ever forget all of our soldiers who gave their full measure of devotion for our country.
00:04:47.749 --> 00:05:03.733
God bless them all Stomping music plays.
00:05:03.733 --> 00:05:08.115
Moonlight's bright, it guides the way.
00:05:08.115 --> 00:05:12.036
Fingers lace sneaking off.
00:05:12.036 --> 00:05:16.297
Today, meet me up in the sweet hay.
00:05:16.297 --> 00:05:23.238
Hey, hey, twinkling stars in the sky, so high, so high, so high.
00:05:23.238 --> 00:05:28.103
Your brown eyes make me fly.
00:05:28.103 --> 00:05:30.670
Laughter echoes, heartbeats tie.
00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:34.810
Love's a spark we can't deny.
00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:42.749
Kissing in the hayloft oh so sweet, so sweet.
00:05:42.749 --> 00:05:45.264
Two-step hearts.
00:05:45.264 --> 00:05:48.132
Where we meet, we meet.
00:05:48.132 --> 00:05:55.134
Hold me close, don't you drift away away away.
00:05:55.134 --> 00:06:06.619
Kissing in the hayloft at the town dance day hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:06:06.619 --> 00:06:14.074
The fiddle sings, we steal a tune.
00:06:14.074 --> 00:06:18.752
Dance floor's hot, but it's just past June.
00:06:18.752 --> 00:06:26.565
We sneak off under the silver moon In the hayloft.
00:06:26.565 --> 00:06:28.791
We'll rendezvous real soon.
00:06:28.791 --> 00:06:32.447
Don't tell them we're gone.
00:06:32.447 --> 00:06:37.192
Hay in our hair, hearts humming along.
00:06:37.192 --> 00:06:43.951
Time stands still, yet night moves strong.
00:06:43.951 --> 00:06:47.509
This moment feels like a country song.
00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:54.973
Kissing in the hayloft oh so sweet, so sweet.
00:06:54.973 --> 00:06:57.244
Two-step hearts.
00:06:57.244 --> 00:06:59.552
Where we meet, we meet.
00:07:00.942 --> 00:07:13.261
Hold me close, don't you drift away away away Kissing in the hayloft at the town dance day hey, hey.
00:07:13.261 --> 00:07:35.132
James Brown, known as the godfather of soul, this immensely talented American singer, songwriter and dancer emerged during the 1950s as a powerful force in a world of reed, soul and funk.
00:07:35.132 --> 00:07:49.973
With his James Brown electrifying stage presence, explosive dance moves and innovative musical style that incorporated elements of gospel, blues and jazz, he crafted numerous hit songs that would go on to inspire countless musicians across genres.
00:07:49.973 --> 00:07:53.483
Today, he remains an enduring symbol of artistic excellence.
00:07:53.483 --> 00:07:57.708
Superhighways, coast to coast, easy to get.
00:08:06.783 --> 00:08:16.607
Anywhere On the first, on the middle Overload, just lie behind the wheel Hard to feel.
00:08:16.607 --> 00:08:28.745
When there's no destination, let's jump up and somewhere on the way you might find out who you are.
00:08:32.467 --> 00:08:34.208
Alan McGee lived through a plane crash.
00:08:34.208 --> 00:08:42.344
World War II Air Force Sergeant Alan McGee was part of a B-17 Flying Fortress crew that was hit by German fire during a mission.
00:08:42.344 --> 00:08:51.004
The airman not only found himself plummeting towards the planet's surface in the wreckage of his plane, but he had also been hit by gunfire during the attack.
00:08:51.004 --> 00:09:00.471
Yet miraculously, he still managed to eject himself from the aircraft himself.
00:09:00.471 --> 00:09:05.631
From the aircraft Falling through the air, mcgee found that his parachute wouldn't work as it had been damaged, meaning he was in free fall when he crashed through the glass ceiling of a train station.
00:09:05.631 --> 00:09:13.272
Bizarrely, this glass ceiling actually managed to save his life, cushioning the fall enough so that he only had some minor injuries.
00:09:30.644 --> 00:09:34.067
I saw you sitting at a cafe in Paris.
00:09:34.067 --> 00:09:39.274
I know I saw you and I know you saw me.
00:09:39.274 --> 00:09:50.166
I heard you went back to that dude from Missouri.
00:09:50.166 --> 00:09:59.173
I know he was always a better man than me.
00:09:59.173 --> 00:10:11.307
I'm sorry, girl, for every time that I hurt you and for every time that you were mean to me.
00:10:11.307 --> 00:10:21.504
And I'm sorry, girl, that I can't say I miss you.
00:10:21.504 --> 00:10:23.697
You said you were leaving.
00:10:23.697 --> 00:10:27.698
You didn't say where you'd be.
00:10:27.698 --> 00:10:33.981
Oh, your blues are mine.
00:10:33.981 --> 00:10:44.428
Oh, I don't want to be right.
00:10:44.428 --> 00:10:55.123
Oh, if you're with him tonight, oh, I hope he holds you tight.
00:10:55.123 --> 00:11:06.509
I was walking by the house where you lived and I was thinking of all the times that you lied.
00:11:06.509 --> 00:11:22.820
I was wondering if I was the one who broke you and if you knew I never meant to make you cry.
00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:28.750
I know you know that I still know your number.
00:11:28.750 --> 00:11:32.914
I know you know you can always call me.
00:11:32.914 --> 00:11:36.821
I know you know that I will always love you.
00:11:36.821 --> 00:11:40.686
I know you know that I know you love me.
00:11:43.216 --> 00:11:45.100
All your blues are mine.
00:11:48.975 --> 00:11:53.364
Oh, I don't want to be right.
00:11:53.364 --> 00:12:07.323
Oh, if you're with him tonight, oh, I hope he holds you tight.
00:12:19.003 --> 00:12:22.506
I was reading a library book before bed one night when I was a teenager.
00:12:22.506 --> 00:12:24.894
It was something really boring.
00:12:24.894 --> 00:12:28.833
I had checked out for a history project for school and I couldn't keep my eyes open.
00:12:28.833 --> 00:12:31.542
I fell asleep with it on my bed.
00:12:31.542 --> 00:12:40.971
I had like a sleep paralysis event happen and I watched this shadowy figure of a man walk into my room, look around, pick up a few knick-knacks and put them back down.
00:12:40.971 --> 00:12:43.297
It was so terrifying.
00:12:43.297 --> 00:12:47.371
My entire body was screaming to move, but I couldn't not even my fingers.
00:12:47.371 --> 00:12:53.214
I just wanted to scream for help, but nothing happened, no matter how desperately I tried.
00:12:54.317 --> 00:12:57.710
I finally got enough courage to look at the man, but he wouldn't come into focus.
00:12:57.710 --> 00:13:01.336
For some reason he was just a shadow, like he wasn't fully there.
00:13:01.336 --> 00:13:07.215
He came up to the side of my bed and stood over me looking down at me for what felt like forever.
00:13:07.215 --> 00:13:10.682
I was so terrified, but I couldn't move a muscle.
00:13:10.682 --> 00:13:16.081
Then he reached down, grabbed my library book and turned, walking out of my room.
00:13:16.081 --> 00:13:21.530
I never found that library book ever, after tearing apart my room and my house.
00:13:21.530 --> 00:13:40.644
My mom said it was a coping dream for losing the book, but I distinctly remember falling asleep reading it that night, and I even had sent a text to my boyfriend that Throughout America's history, courageous men and women have sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today.
00:13:41.812 --> 00:13:47.840
With unparalleled devotion, they faced the brutality of war With uncommon bravery.
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:58.110
They fought against savage enemies, but each of them felt no higher calling than to protect the liberty we hold dear, regardless of the cost.
00:14:16.647 --> 00:14:25.893
Walking down this lonesome street, barefoot, dreams and aching feet.
00:14:25.893 --> 00:14:30.089
The sun's been up.
00:14:30.089 --> 00:14:31.793
It burns my skin.
00:14:31.793 --> 00:14:35.788
Life keeps knocking.
00:14:35.788 --> 00:14:37.331
I let it in.
00:14:37.331 --> 00:14:50.493
Whiskey whispers in my ear, drowning shadows, drowning fear.
00:14:50.493 --> 00:14:57.563
The cards I play they're torn and stained, but I'm still living through the pain.
00:14:57.563 --> 00:15:06.759
The cards I play they're torn and stained, but I'm still living through the pain.
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:13.889
Oh, life keeps spinning round and round.
00:15:13.889 --> 00:15:18.578
Pick me up when I'm beating down.
00:15:18.578 --> 00:15:43.985
Ain't no map to where I'm going.
00:15:43.985 --> 00:15:44.765
We'll be right back.
00:15:44.765 --> 00:15:51.134
Hands, built a tower on sinking sands, felt that thunder, tasted rain, but I'd do it all over again.
00:15:51.134 --> 00:15:58.094
The cracks in the pavement tell my story.
00:15:58.094 --> 00:16:04.913
Not all of it pretty, but it's my own glory.
00:16:04.913 --> 00:16:10.311
These weary songs are the notes of my soul.
00:16:10.311 --> 00:16:18.190
Broken pieces still make me whole.
00:16:18.190 --> 00:16:22.937
Oh, life keeps spinning round and round.
00:16:22.937 --> 00:16:28.673
Pick me up when I'm beaten down.
00:16:28.673 --> 00:16:38.087
Ain't no map to where I'm going, but I'll keep moving.
00:16:38.087 --> 00:16:50.278
Winds are blowing, oh oh, winds are blowing.
00:17:09.174 --> 00:17:12.758
Oh, oh, news and grooves a veteran supportive podcast.
00:17:19.237 --> 00:17:19.337
If.
00:17:19.577 --> 00:17:29.508
I had the time to tell you All the thoughts I hide away.
00:17:29.508 --> 00:17:40.296
The words would paint the evening sky and chase the night to stay, to stay.
00:17:40.296 --> 00:18:05.563
If I had the time to show you the stories etched inside my heart, I'd weave them like a tapestry but don't know where to start.
00:18:05.563 --> 00:18:10.861
Oh the clock.
00:18:10.861 --> 00:18:14.686
It always ticks too fast.
00:18:14.686 --> 00:18:22.383
The moments slip like grains of sand.
00:18:22.383 --> 00:18:32.307
But if I had just one more chance, I'd hold the world within my hand.
00:18:32.307 --> 00:18:57.108
If I had the time to hold you Before tomorrow, stole the light, I'd spin the stars around your name and guard your dreams through the night.
00:18:57.108 --> 00:18:58.761
Time's a thief.
00:18:58.761 --> 00:19:02.486
It won't stop moving.
00:19:02.486 --> 00:19:05.519
Yet here I stand.
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:20.724
My heart is proven that even now, with words so few, I'd give my all to just reach you.
00:19:20.724 --> 00:19:40.928
Oh the clock, it always ticks too fast.
00:19:40.928 --> 00:19:46.412
The moment slipped like grains of sand.
00:19:46.412 --> 00:19:59.263
But if I had just one more chance, I'd hold the world within my hand.
00:20:13.314 --> 00:20:15.936
Thanks for coming in and listening on this special month.
00:20:15.936 --> 00:20:16.717
