Daniel Lanois - Not Fighting Anymore

http://www.squidoo.com/daniel-lanois-songwriter

I'm not fighting anymore, gonna let it all slide.
Gonna let it run down, to my knees and my feet.
Gonna give it all away, know what to say,
'cause I know I'm not alone, I'm not fighting anymore
You can have what's left of this ragged frame.
You can have what's left of this used up chain.
I'm not fighting anymore, gonna let it all go.
The melting of a man, like the sun on the snow.
I'm not fighting anymore, gonna let it all down.
'Cause this all town, don't know me anyhow.
We don't own nothing much, it's all passing by.
Let it all cry, let it run dry.
I'm not fighting anymore, not keeping score,
gonna let it all fade, gonna let it all wane.

I'm not fighting any less, I see the sea.
Feel it in the chest, heard something in the breeze.
Now I know where I'm bound, some kind of ecstasy.
That far away lonesome sound, picture you so pretty.
Now I know where I'm for, when my sweetness is there.
Crack a light on the door leaves nothing to compare.
I'm not fighting any more.
Not fighting any more.
Not fighting any more.

You can have what's left of this ragged frame.
You can have what's left of this pain.
I'm not fighting anymore, gonna let it all go.
The melting of a man, like the sun on the snow.
I'm not fighting anymore, not keeping score,
gonna let it all fade, gonna let it all wane.

I got a cute little tricked out badge thingie for being the first person to post this song on Facebook. Unfortunately I don't think anyone but a few of my friends and relatives have seen it. Pearls before swine. lol

[abcforall]

Merci beaucoup :)

This is such a special video. I've not seen another in which we can see the emotions and intensity he feels while he's describing how the song should be recorded to BB. His hands. His arms. His whole body is feeling these words. This song. I recognize it from the movie but having it here to watch as the song is actually playing is just the gift that keeps on giving. What a revelation.

abc, you rock!! LOL

Thanks, it took me few days to put it together. I'm very happy with the results.

Every so often a song gets right through to your soul..... this is one of them! Amazing!

OK aside from from the wonderful sentiment of Not Fighting Anymore...check out Mr. Brian Blade's fucking, hugely, darkly expressive and oh sooooo un-trendily exquisite beautiful cymbals--Thanks! beaucoup, Mr Lanois for reminding me that a beer is OK whilst figuring out the plan of attack and that beauty just begets more joy in the beauty of the world.

Garth Hudson...how very cool!!!!

I can picture this song being played at a funeral.

Not sure if that's the meaning of the song...Beautiful song.
