Guest Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 (((hugs))) A very great idea to put this up, sometimes i wonder what kind of things ppl listen to that helps them with any of their emotions. Normally i find one or 2 songs with every emotion i may be feeling at the moment and listen to it over and over again alot of my time. This song i am about to mention i used to listen to ALOT,still do but i have also found other helpful songs so heres one: Wash Away Those Years by CREED She came calling One early morning She showed her crown of thorns She whispered softly To tell a story About how she had been wronged As she lay lifeless He stole her innocence And this is how she carried on Well I guess she closed her eyes And just imagined everything's alright But she could not hide her tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years They were sent to wash away those years My anger's violent But still I'm silent When tragedy strikes at home I know this decadence Is shared by millions Remember you're not alone For we have crossed many oceans And we labor in between In life there are many quotients And I hope I find the mean Heres another: MY OWN PRISON by CREED A court is in session, a verdict is in No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel Silence now the sound My breath the only motion around Demons cluttering around My face showing no emotion Shackled by my sentence Expecting no return Here there is no penance My skin begins to burn So I held my head up high, Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride We're all held captive Our from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I hear a thunder in the distance See a vision of the cross I feel the pain that was given On that sad day of loss A lion roars in the distance Only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden And grant me life eternally Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride We're all held captive Our from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison Those are a couple for now but i am sure i can find tons more.

Guest Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 I'll put a few of the lyrics. Probably because I'm too lazy to find the whole song!! Goo Goo Dolls - Iris -- The verse that goes “And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive” Nailed me the summer I went through the worst of it. I played it over and over Fiona Apple - Sullen Girl -- the whole #### song. (Thank you to Shannon who turned me twoard Fiona Apple!!!) Dido - Honestly ok - "I just want to be safe in my own skin...I just want to be happy again!" Amen to that Sarah Mclachlan - everything by her. Especially Good Enough - "I don't understand you deserve so much more than this", Hold On "hold on this is going to hurt like ####" Angel - again the whole song Tori - Silent all these years, Little Earthquakes, 1000 Oceans There are about a million more but that is all I can think of right now. This was fun. Kellie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 Here's some that have helped/or that I've related to. Luka by Suzanne Vega My name is Luka I live on the second floor I live upstairs from you Yes I think you've seen me before If you hear something late at night Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight Just don't ask me what it was Just don't ask me what it was Just don't ask me what it was I think it's because I'm clumsy I try not to talk too loud Maybe it's because I'm crazy I try not to act too proud They only hit until you cry And after that you don't ask why You just don't argue anymore You just don't argue anymore You just don't argue anymore Yes I think I'm okay I walked into the door again Well, if you ask that's what I'll say And it's not your business anyway I guess I'd like to be alone With nothing broken, nothing thrown Just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am ********************* "Hideaway" by Fuel - I was lucky enough to hear this live! Hideaway, take me now I cannot face another round And I'm flipping through the pages For a name to take my place Close my eyes, wish that I could find a space To hideaway Troubled days cloud my eyes Stole the sun from my skies And in this darkness I am tossing, turning Lying wide awake Hold my breath, wish that I could find a place To hideaway Hideaway, take me now I cannot face another round ********************* "Bad Day" - Fuel (reminds me of me...everyday is a bad day) Had a bad day again She said I would not understand She left a note and said "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again. Spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace. Smeared the lipstick on her face. Slammed the door and said "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again." And she swears there's nothing wrong I hear her playing that same old song She puts me up and puts me on And had a bad day again She said I would not understand She left a note it said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again." ********************* "Sullen Girl" - Fiona Apple Days like this I don't know what To do with myself All day and all night I wander the halls Along the walls and Under my breath I say to myself I need fuel To take flight And there's too Much going on But it's calm under The waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in The blue of my oblivion Is that why they call me A sullen girl, sullen girl They don't know I used to sail the Deep and tranquil sea Nut he washed me shore And he took my pearl And left an empty Shell of me And there's too Much going on But it's calm under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves In the blue of my oblivion It's calm under the waves In the blue of my oblivion ************** "Ironic" - Alanis Morrisette An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic...dontcha think It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole #### life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice..." And isn't it ironic...dontcha think It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic...dontcha think A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think... It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out *************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 Tori Amos "Way Down" - This was me...I was the girl with the band, the afterglow...driving a star's big car and then learning that love hurts on the way down... Maybe I'm the afterglow Cause I'm with the band you know Don't you hear the laughter On the way down Yes I am the anchorman Dining here with Son of Sam A hair too much to chat of On the way down Gonna meet a great big star Gonna drive his great big car Gonna have it all here On the way down The way down The way down She knows Let's go The way down The way down The way down She knows **************** "Tear In Your Hand" by Tori Amos - This one also reminded me of what was going on when my ex and I finally broke up...he left me for the girl he thought was better, Maybe he found in here all the things he never found in me. All the world just stopped now So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore Let me take a deep breath babe If you need me Me and Neil'll be hangin' out with the dream king Neil says hi By the way I don't believe you're leaving Cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream I think it's that girl And I think there're pieces of me you've never seen Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well All the world is all I am The black of the blackest ocean And the tear in your hand All the world is dangin'... Dangling'...Danglin' for me darlin' You don't know the power that you have With that tear in your hand Tear in you hand Maybe I ain't used to maybes Smashing in a cold room Cutting my hands up every time I touch you Maybe maybe it's time to wave goodbye now Time to wave goodbye now Caught a ride with the moon I know I know you well Better than I Used to haze all clouded up My mind in the daze of why it could've never been So you say and I say You know you're full of wish And your "baby baby baby babies" I tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen All the world is all I am The black of the blackest ocean And the tear in your hand All the world is dangin'... Dangling'...Danglin' for me darlin' You don't know the power that you have With that tear in your hand Tear in you hand With that tear in you hand ************ "Rattlesnakes" Tori Amos version (lyrics are the same...I just like her singing it better than the original artist). This song says it all...it feels like it's almost my story...My neverborn child haunts me in everything I do...it's hard for me to love because love was my greatest disappointment.... Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days she says a girl needs a gun these days hey on account of all the rattlesnakes she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance she's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose and her neverborn child still haunts her as she speeds down the freeway as she tries her luck with the traffic police out of boredom more than spite she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard she's obvious despite herself she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront she says all she needs is therapy yeah all you need is, love is all you need Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay she says that a girl needs a gun these days hey on account of all the rattlesnakes she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront as she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance her heart, heart's like crazy paving upside down and back to front she says ooh, it's so hard to love when love was your great disappointment ************* "Paper Bag" - Fiona Apple - this is another that says it all...i know what it's like when it costs too much to love... I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star To pray on, or wish on, or something like that I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had But then the dove of hope began its downward slope And I believed for a moment that my chances Were approaching to be grabbed But as it came down near, so did a weary tear I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb Looking for a little hope Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine, And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified Come on put a little love here in my void,' he said 'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything' But he didn't get it I thought he was a man But he was just a little boy Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 This has always been my favorite. Take care, Jeremy I AM THE WIND: Just like the wind, I've always been Drifting high up in the sky that never ends Through thick and thin, I always win 'Cause I would fight both life and death to save a friend I face my destiny every day I live And the best in me is all I have to give Just like the sun (Just like the sun) When my day's done Sometimes I don't like the person I've become Is the enemy within a thousand men? Should I walk the path if my world's so dead ahead? Is someone testing me every day I live? Well, the best in me is all I have to give I can pretend (I can pretend) I am the wind (I am the wind) And I don't know if I will pass this way again All things must end Goodbye, my friend Think of me when you see the sun or feel the wind I am the wind, I am the sun And one day we'll all be one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 here is songs that helped me Amy Grant Ask Me I see her as a little girl hiding in her room She takes another bath and she sprays her momma's perfume To try to wipe away the scent he left behind But it haunts her mind You see she's his little rag nothing more than just a waif And he's mopping up his need she is tired and afraid Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven Where did he go in the middle of her shame? Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names Nobody's naming names Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace Still she leaves the light burning in the hall It's hard to sleep at all Till she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house But no one's left to harm her she's finally safe and sound There's a peace she has found Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven Where did he go in the middle of her shame? Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens She said his mercy is bringing her life again Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven How do you know? Where did he go in the middle of her shame Where did he go? Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens How do you know? She said his mercy is bringing her life again She's coming to life again He's in the middle of her pain In the middle of her shame Mercy brings life He's in the middle Mercy in the middle So, ask me how I know Ask me how I know, yeah Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens How do you know? Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens How do you know? Yeah, ask me how I know How do you know? Ask me Ask me Ask me how I know How do you know?

Guest Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 *T* Fee fi fo - The Cranberries Fee fi fo she smells his body She smells his body And it makes her sick to her mind. He has got so much to answer for To answer for To ruin a child's mind. How could you touch something so innocent and pure? Obscure How could you get satisfaction From the body of a child? You're vile, sick. CHORUS: It's true what people say, God protect the ones who help themselves in their own way It's true what people say God protect the ones who help themselves in their own way. He was sitting in her bedroom In her bedroom And now what should she do? She's got so much insecurity And his impurity Is was a gathering gloom. How could you touch something so innocent and pure? Obscure. How could you get satisfaction from the body of a child? You're vile, sick. It's true what people say, God protect the ones who help themselves in their own way. But I've been wondering to myself... Who'll protect the ones Who can't protect themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Kaja - Sunbird Raindrops are falling, fallin' down on me I keep on walkin' , oh through the streets Trying to find me a warm place to stay It's getting cold now, i released myself Into this dark world , where the lights are rare Make-up is running, all over my face Though i'm still thinking, there must be a Light on my way now, that shows me Where i could stay now, for the next season Autumn is coming, chasing the sunbirds Autumn is coming, violently unheard Autumn is coming, to end the old life, and the new life I'm getting cold now, my feet hurt Try to get out now, of this cool world Just wanna look for a warm place to stay VICTIM IN PAIN No one could see the pain inside of you Even your friends didn't have a clue Now it's too late to think about What we could've done to release you One day when you were just a little boy Stranger came to you to destroy Your pure feelings and innocent thoughts You never felt the same again You grew up with all this shame to become your own.. Victim in Pain (grew up with all the shame, become your own again) You always looked like a real tough guy But your eyes were filled with melancholy Every event in your -too short- life Became a tattoo on your strong body You grew up with all this shame to becoe your own Victim in pain I know this band very short.. Alanis Morissette is my great help, besides Tori.. I saw her 9 times already..and i love her music since the realease of Jagged little pill... I was 13 back then... I have a huge collection..more than 60 cd's and singles..and 20 tshirts, and go on.. Love Sophie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Alot of the songs listed have helped me through difficult times. Here's the song that helps me the most. No Fear by Terri Clark I want a road stretching out before me I want a radio in my ear I want a full tank of absolution No Fear I want a rainstorm to pull me over Then a sky that begins to clear Towards the truest of destinations No Fear Chorus: I used to hit every wall there was I used to run away from love All I ever wanted was right here But I had to reach way down inside I had to have faith I'd find No Fear I want the world to just keep on turning I want the dawn in my rear view mirror I want to hear my own voice singing No Fear And when I need two arms around me And there's no one near When I'm alone let the only sound be No Fear Chorus: I used to hit every wall there was I used to run away from love All I ever wanted was right here But I had to reach way down inside I had to have faith I'd find No Fear I want peace, love, and understanding Don't want to live afraid of dying I used to hit every wall there was I used to run away from love All I ever wanted was right here But I had to reach way down inside I used to stay up all night long Wondering what I was doing wrong All I every needed was right here But I had to reach way down inside I had to have faith I'd find No Fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Okay, I know you guys haven't heard of Steps but this is a Steps song. Sorry, Steps is an english band. "Looking back I could have played it differently, won a few more moments, who can tell? But I was ever so much younger then, now at least, I know I know you well." Also, that song by Madonna (now you've heard of her!) Oh Father, I think its called. I know its more about physical abuse but a few of the words ring true. "It's funny, that way. You can get used to the tears and the pain, what a child would believe, you never loved me." "You can't hurt me now, I got away from you, I never thought I would, You can't make me cry, You once had the power, I never felt so good about myself." "Oh father, you never wanted to live that was, you never wanted to hurt me, why am I running away?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 one step closer-Linkin Park I cannot take this anymore I'm saying everything I've said before All these words they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear the less you'll say But you'll find that out anyway Just like before... Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again (Edited by Lukas at 9:22 pm on Dec. 13, 2001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I really like this Rascal Flatts song, I'm Moving On I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons Finally content with a past I regret I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness For once I’m at peace with myself I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long I’m movin’ on I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces Each one is different but they’re always the same They mean no harm but it’s time that I face it They’ll never allow me to change But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong I’m movin’ on I’m movin’ on At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me And I know there’s no guarentee’s, but I’m not alone There comes a time in everyone’s life When all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days are gone I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t Stopped to fill up on my way out of town I’ve loved like I should but lived like I shouldn’t I had to lose everything to find out Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road I’m movin’ on I’m movin’ on I’m movin’ on I like Waitin' on Sundown too. Knights in shineing armor anyone?? Wish one had found me Jimmy was waitin' on Shelby Jean In the parking lot at the Dairy Queen He knew she's gonna be there soon Then they'll blow this town Like a cheap balloon She came in cryin' this morning at the store Said, I swear Jimmy, I just can't take no more So he quit his job and drew his pay Now he's helpin' Shelby make her getaway Oh...sittin' on go Waitin' on sundown Waitin' on sundown No more beatin' to be denied No more bruises that makeup can't hide All these years she's tried to love that man But all he ever gave her Was the back of his hand Now, Jimmy is a young boy Just out of his teens So many things that he still hasn't seen But he's old enough to know wrong from right That's why he's helpin' Shelby Make her break tonight And oh...sittin' on go Waitin' on sundown Waitin' on sundown Waitin' on sundown Drove all night drove all day Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say How she'd suffered at her lover's hand He said honey I wanna change all that if I can They pulled over to take a little rest Shelby put her head down on Jimmy's chest And she could hear the beatin' of his heart And it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start And oh she's gonna let him know She's waitin' on sundown She's just waitin' on sundown Yeah they're waitin' on sundown Waitin' on sundown They're waitin' on sundown I'm a DJ so I could go on and on about the ones that make me feel better (especially when stuck at work) but these two are at the top right now.

Guest Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 this is my favorite liz phair song and is one of the most honest songs about relationships that i have ever heard. Fuck and Run I woke up alarmed I didn't know where I was at first Just that I woke up in your arms And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions, and What ever happened to a boyfriend The kind of guy who tries to win you over, and What ever happened to a boyfriend The kind of guy who makes love cause he's in it, and I want a boyfriend I want a boyfriend I want all that stupid old shit Like letters and sodas Letters and sodas You got up out of bed You said you had a lot of work to do But I heard the rest in your head And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions, and I want a boyfriend I want a boyfriend I want all that stupid old shit Like letters and sodas Letters and sodas I can feel it in my bones I'm gonna spend another year alone It's fuck and run Fuck and run Even when I was seventeen Fuck and run Fuck and run Even when I was twelve You almost felt bad You said that I should call you up but I knew much better than that And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions And I can feel it in my bones I'm gonna spend my whole life alone It's fuck and run Fuck and run Even when I was seventeen Fuck and run Fuck and run Even when I was twelve this is from a group called bright eyes....this song wasn't written after 9/11, but it has a strange feeling about it, the lyrics....Going for the Gold There's a voice on the phone telling what had happened some kind of confusion more like a disaster and it wondered how you were left unaffected but you had no knowledge no the chemicals covered you and so a jury was formed as more liquor was poured no need for conviction they're not thirsting for justice butI slept with the lies I keep inside my head I found out I was guilty I found out I was guilty but I won't be around for the sentencing cause I'm leaving on the next airplane and though I know that my actions are impossible to justify they seem adequite to fill up my time and if I could talk to myself like I was someone else then maybe I could take your advice and I wouldn't act like such an ####### all the time there's a film on the wall makes the people look small who are sitting beside it all consumed in the drama they must return to their lives once the hero has died they will drive to the office stopping somewhere for coffee where the folk singers, poets, and playwrites convene dispinsing their wisdom oh dear amateur orator they will detail their pain in some standard refrain they will recite their sadness like it's some kind of contest well if it is I think I am winning it all beaming with confidence as I make my final lap the gold medal gleams so hang it around my neck cause I am deserving it the champion of idiots but a kid carries his Walkman on that long bus ride to omaha I know a girl who cries when she practices violin cause each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes now to me everything else it just sounds like a lie. ***this is another song from bright eyes No Lies, Just Love It was in the march of the winter I turned 17 that I bought those things I thought I would need and I wrote a letter to my family said it's not your fault and you've been good to me just lately I've been feeling like I don't belong like the ground's not mine to walk upon and I've heard that music echo through the house where my grandmother drank by herself and I sat watching a flower as it was withering I was embarrased by it's honesty so I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face not this fucking wreck that's taken it's place so please forgive what I have done no you can't stay mad at the setting sun we all get tired I mean eventually there's nothing left to do but sleep but spring came bearing sunlight those persuasive rays so I gave myself a few more days my salvation it came, quite suddenly when Justin spoke very plainly he said "Of course it's your decision, but just so you know, if you decide to leave, soon I will follow" I wrote this for a baby who has yet to be born my brother's first child I hope that womb's not too warm cause it's cold out here and it'll be quite a shock to breathe this air to discover loss so I'd like to make some changes before you arive so when your new eyes meet mine they won't see no lies just love. just love.

Guest On My Way Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 The Dance~by Garth Brooks It's about the dance of life and how you may get hurt by someone or something in life, but if you by pass all the pain in life...then you'd miss the happy times too. "It's my life, it's better left to chance...I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss...the dance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 when I listen to music, it has to be something like Destany's Child (Survivor) Or Enrique Inglesis (Hero) I have to hear that it is going to be alright or I will help you. Thoes are the kinds of songs that I listen to when I listen to the radio. CD's are different. My newest kick these days is JAZZ!! A friend of mine turned me onto it. It is very relaxing. Sit with a cup of tea, light some candles, and put on music, and I am soooooooooo gone. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Tori's Me and a Gun. Close to home. Fuels me for kickboxing Hole- Asking for it Every time I stare into the sun Angel dust and my dress just comes undone While I rocket to the end Do you think you can make me do it again? Was she askin' for it? Was she askin' nice? Oh? She was askin' for it? Did she ask you twice? Nice little angry song for all of you Grrrrrls out there.... But if I just want to forget for a few minutes, anything by David Gray or Natalie Merchant helps... nice rhythms,,,great voices, real talents.

Guest Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 This one strikes a cord in me. Thank you for the idea. Love, Donna Sweet Surrender it doesn't mean much it doesn't mean anything at all the life I've left behind me is a cold room I've crossed the last line from where I can't return where every step I took in faith betrayed me and led me from my home and sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give you take me in no questions asked you strip away the ugliness that surrounds me are you an angel am I already that gone I only hope that I won't disappoint you when I'm down here on my knees and sweet sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give sweet sweet sweet surrender is all that I have to give and I don't understand by the touch of your hand I would be the one to fall I miss the little things oh I miss everything it doesn't mean much it doesn't mean anything at all the life I left behind me is a cold room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 heres some of the songs that have inspired me: Nothing at all - various singers/Francis Black its amazing how you can speak right to my heart without saying a word try as i might i can never explain what i hear when you dont say a thing at all chorus: The smile on your face lets me know taht you need me theres a truth in your eyes saying that you'll never leave me the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever i fall you say it better when you say nothing at all All alone I can hear ppl talking about But when you hold me near you you drown out the crowd Old Mr Webster could never define what's being said between your heart and mine chorus then the smile on your face etc Brian Kennedy- won't you take me home I've walked along this stormy life too scared to feel the love i might While I won't deny that i am afraid I can't say the words If only there was someone who could make sense of it all........ It won't be long Before the light Another day A sleepless night Will i ever learn to live alone? Am I strong enough? If only there was some way in this world to let you know One night Give me just one night For all I own I'm so alone Oh won't you take me home You make me weak You make me kind I never knew a love so blind Well I don't believe in many things But I'm certain now If only there was somewhere in this world where we could go for One night Give me just one night For all I own I'm so alone Won't you take me home? Oh save me now There's no bitterness Darling don't you let me down Oh Hold me now Show me some tenderness I'm so lost without you around Give me just one night For all that I own I'm so alone I never let you go Oh won't you take me home Love Life and Happiness -Brian Kennedy Will you walk with me Through this world And never let me down, oh listen now Can you hear a sound Look what we have found Another day ends peacefully Oh Now tell me Is this the way its gonna stay Oh Don't let go again it's your life Love your happiness When you sleep tonight Will you dream About a brighter life, oh it's gonna last And we hope for more But my heart is so unsure Another day is Over so tell me Is this the way it's meant to be Oh dont let go again (chorus) Don't go I'm remembering The time of joy and of love Oh dont let go again (etc) And we hope for more My heart is so unsure Will you walk with me And never let me down See Line Woman- Kennedy very tribal beat Yeah yeah Yeah Yeah alright ye She-line woman She drink coffee she drink tea and then go home See-line woman See-line woman Dressed in green Wears silk stockings With golden seams See-line woman See-line woman Dressed in red Make a man lose his head She-line woman She-line woman black dress on For a thousand dollars She wail and she moan She-line woman Wiggle wiggle Purr like a cat Wink at a man And he wink back Not shy See-line woman Empty his pockets And wreck his day Make him love her And she'll fly away She got a black dress on For a thousand dollars She'll wail and moan........ Thats all for now folks cat (Edited by catwoman at 6:00 pm on Jan. 5, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone1 Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Most all of Tori's songs inspire me, especially "Silent all These Years" - becuase I can really relate to it, but here are a couple I like equally well. Flower (by the Eels) Turn the ugly light off, God I wanna feel the night Every day it shines down on me Don't you think that I see Don't you think that I see What it's all about Hard to look the other way While the world passes me by And everyone is trying to bum me out It's a pretty big world, God And I am awful small Everyday they rain down on me Flower in a hailstorm Flower in a hailstorm I'm living for the drought I can throw it back at them But then I'd play their game And everyone is trying to bum me out When I came into this world they slapped me And every day since then I'm slapped again Tomorrow's king, an unsightly coward You see I know I'm gonna win Turn the ugly light off, God Don't wanna see my face Everyday it will betray me Don't you think that I know Don't you think that I know What they're talking about If they step on me tonight They're gonna pay someday And everyone is trying to bum me out Land of Shame (by Vast) Looking out the window staring at the things I can't see If I listen closely I can hear a dying dream I'm wrapped up in the warmth of an unforgiving mind I'm on vacation in another time And we can thank the TV, we can thank the men of old For this legacy of hate somehow they have sold I'm wrapped up in the warmth of an unforgiving game I'm on vacation in the land of shame When the pigs are flying and it's freezing cold in #### Maybe we'll forgive the children, baby Only time can tell If I listen closely I can hear a dying dream I'm on vacation in the land of shame We'll be alone together in a world we call our own We'll be alone together in a place that doesn't feel Like home We'll be alone together We'll leave this land of shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
