Cira Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'm not laughing, Shell (I promise) but I am grinning rather widely. Is that allowed? (Actually, though, love -- I've remarked on those lyrics before, too. ) Just to totally off-set the Mulan song, I just heard a song that I haven't heard in a looooong time, and it just struck a chord. "Amazin'" by Aerosmith I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy to see me though all my sins There were times in my life When I was goin' insane Just tryin' to walk through the pain When I lost my grip And I hit the floor Yeah, I thought I could leave But couldn't get out the door I was so sick and tired Of livin' a lie And I was wishin' that I would die It's amazin' With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light. It's amazin' When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright It's amazin' And I'm sayin' a prayer for all the desperate hearts tonight That one last shot's a permanent vacation And how high can you fly with broken wings? Life's a journey, not a destination And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings You have to learn to crawl Before you learn to walk But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk I was out on the street Just tryin' to survive Scratchin' to stay Alive It's amazin' With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light. It's amazin' When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright It's amazin' And I'm sayin' a prayer for all the desperate hearts tonight (Edited by Cira at 5:38 am on July 2, 2003) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest She Twinkles Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I'm sure this one has probably been posted but I love it, well all of Evanescence's songs really. My Immortal, Evanescence. I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [CHORUS:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me You used to captivate me By your resonating life Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus] I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along [Chorus] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I've always loved "Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls. But, when I started paying attention to the words, I interpreted it my own way that went along with the experiences I've had in my life. NAME And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Got lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans And never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame But you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name And scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there? Did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name I won't tell em' your name Oooh, oooh, oooh I won't tell em' your name Ow! I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are Come back down And I won't tell 'em your name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflykt Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 The band?? Cool Hand Luke. give them a round of applause because they have wonderful music, and to me, very healing lyrics. Also...they're dancerific. Awesome for a group of young guys. ONE TIME Let me tell you what He did for me With the weight of my worries tearing my sleeve I cried to my Father, the end of all hope, “Show me the rope, which way to go” As I fell asleep He took away my worries He picked me up and put me on His shoulders I could see for miles He showed me that the mountain I’m climbing Is not a mountain at all But a gentle slope leading home There are mountains towering ahead He says to me, “These are mine, Hold my hand you’ll be fine” I could see for miles He showed me that the mountain I’m climbing Is not a mountain at all But a gentle slope leading home “The mountains are mine” NOBODY HUGS A ROSE She cannot see the ocean For the trees that block the way She cannot see forever ‘cause she can’t see past today She’s driving home so empty From another one night stand With a guy who doesn’t care but just wants to feel like a man If only falling in love was as easy as making it But nobody hugs a rose Nobody hugs a rose Nobody hugs a rose She’s all alone ‘cause nobody hugs a rose She has no ring to speak of Save the one her daddy left He stepped out of her life leaving some jewelry on a shelf Seems like every man she loves ends up walking away ‘Cause nobody hugs a rose Nobody hugs a rose Nobody hugs a rose She’s all alone ‘cause nobody hugs a rose There’s never been a prettier soul No, there’s never been a lovelier rose But she can never wipe away all her tears She cries herself to sleep and wakes up to the same old fears She only needs someone to hold her right now A man who would wear those thorns like a crown She steps into her bedroom And falls onto the floor She cries out to her savior That she just can’t take no more Jesus says, “Girl, I’ve been waiting For this very day When I could pick you up and strip those dirty thorns away” Nevermore will she think in her old futile ways That nobody hugs a rose Nobody hugs a rose Nobody hugs a rose She’s not alone ‘cause somebody loved a rose SIDEWAYS Last night my shadow ran from me It bowed its head in shame I can't bear my reflection I can't even write my name Sometimes i choose to forget about you Sometimes i choose to ignore the truth Just like the man from chapter three I tried to hide From fleeing, familiar White light Sometimes i choose to forget about you Sometimes i choose to ignore the truth How sweet the name How sweet the face That i long to touch with dirty hands I'm seeing sideways Because i've fallen down again And it's so hard to find my way NEXT TO LAST I woke up this morning With some things on my mind As i try to find the truth in what i thought was right Slowly i'm sinking beneath my reasons I shattered Your dreams into what may seem to be A million pieces I struggle to find what's standing here Put me back together And i know that You will be right by my side I'm tired of running away from You Forgive me i know not what i do Do you love Me (Jesus, Your name is above all names) Do you love me (You're everything to me) What would you do for Me Your only hope lies at the center of a cross YESTERDAY IS GONE Yesterday I said something I really shouldn't say I know you're watching every move I make I turned around but now I'm right back where I started from Another day I thank God for all my past mistakes I know there's going to be a price to pay as long as I know God is with me everything is going to be away when things start to turn around I know I can't forget my past with the help of a loving grace I just got to make sure everything's alright now I know you're hearing every word I say I never ment to hurt you anyway I know my actions hurt but pleace allow me one more chance and Today I cant admit that there is nothings wrong but I know I've lived with this far too long to tear me down I've turned around from where I started from. GIVE UP You've gone into town too early you've given up way too soon I don't know what you're goin through please know that I am there for you Oh God I've given all I can I wonder if you understand this love you give to use each day is more than i can comprehend I can't carry on this way I need you more and more each day Oh God come and heal our hearts. Times are hard and they just got harder learn from mistakes in the past just have faith and God will lead you to those thoughts of joy and happiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 These are both LifeHouse songs, at times they are so true, they sometimes will trigger tho. Catch your breath hit the wall scream out loud as you start to crawl back in Your cage the only place where they will leave you alone 'cause the weak will Seek the weaker until they've broken them could you get it back again Would it be the same fulfillment to their lack of strength At your expense left you with no defense they tore it down and i have Felt the same as you, I've felt the same as you, I've felt the same Locked inside the only place where you feel sheltered where you feel safe You lost yourself in your search to find something else to hide behind The fearful always preyed upon your confidence Did they see the consequence when they pushed you around The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown Refuse to feel, Anything at all refuse to slip, Refuse to Fall can't be weak, Can't stand still you watch your back, 'Cause no one will you don't know why they had to go This far traded your worth for these scars for your only Company don't believe the lies that they told to you Not one word was true you're alright, You're alright, You're alright Sick Cycle Carousel" if shame had a face i think it would kind of look like mine if it had a home would it be my eyes would you believe me if i said i am tired of this now here we go one more time i tried to climb your steps i tried to chase you down i tried to see how low i could get down to the ground i tried to earn my way i tried to change this mind you better believe i tried to beat this when will this end it goes on and on and over and over and over again keep spinning around i know it won't stop till i step down from this for good i never thought i'd end up here i never thought i'd be standing where i am i guess i kind of thought it would be easier than this i guess i was wrong now one more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Joe Nichols - She only smokes when she drinks So you lit her cigarette You're feelin' pretty good You think you've got a shot Most girls you probably would Yeah this is that kind of place But she ain't that kind of girl You're readin' it all wrong Let me tell you about her/ She only smokes when she drinks She only drinks now and then Now and then when she's tired Of bein' let down by men You can give her a light But it's not what you think Everybody knows she only drinks alone And she only smokes when she drinks Did you ask her to dance Let me guess, she told you no Got to take her some place quiet And see how far that goes Oh, don't take it all that hard When she smiles and turns you down For a complicated girl She ain't that hard to figure out She only smokes when she drinks She only drinks now and then Now and then when she's tired Of bein' let down by men You can give her a light But it's not what you think Everybody knows she only drinks alone And she only smokes when she drinks Toby Keith & Willie Nelson Beer For My Horses Well a man come on the 6 o’clock news Said somebody’s been shot, somebody’s been abused Somebody blew up a building Somebody stole a car Somebody got away Somebody didn’t get too far yeah They didn’t get too far Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son A man had to answer for the wicked that he done Take all the rope in Texas Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that Justice is the one thing you should always find You got to saddle up your boys You got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune We’ll all meet back at the local saloon We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds We’ve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets It’s time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground Send ’em all to their maker and he’ll settle ’em down You can bet he’ll set ’em down ’cause Justice is the one thing you should always find You got to saddle up your boys You got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune We’ll all meet back at the local saloon We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses Justice is the one thing you should always find You got to saddle up your boys You got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune We’ll all meet back at the local saloon We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses Jason Mraz -- Remedy (I Won't worry) I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring now something on the surface it stings that something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this and what kind of god would serve this? We will cure this dirty old disease if you've got the poison I've got the remedy the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I know you may not want to see me On your way down from the clouds Would you hear me if I told you That my heart is with you now She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun Did you find what you were after The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees But if the sun sets you free, sets you free You'll be free indeed She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun Every time I hear you laughing, hear you laughing It makes me cry Like the story of life, Of your life, Is hello, goodbye She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thriver Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I don't normally get into a lot of pop music (I prefer rock or jazz) but I've been hearing this song on the radio in the car. My son likes it and I like it, too. It's called "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. I think it's a great song for survivors because no matter what you've been through or what's been done to you in the past, you get to turn the page and start writing the book of your life TODAY! I've been feeling down lately so this song helped me feel a bit better. I don't have all the lyrics, but some of them go like this: Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you And I also like: No one else can speak the words on your lips And: Live your life with arms wide open One of the "programming" type of messages I got from my CSA was that, being a twin, I was just a "throw-away" extra copy. I like this song because it tells me that I am special and unique and no one else can write the unique story of my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassafras Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ani DiFranco has been my rock and inspiration since I was 15 and still going. Her music, her mind, her politcs, her fight, her independance, her honesty, her humility, her power, her voice... has shaped the strong, independant female I am today. I have endless respect for her and it all started out here with these two songs: my iq when i was 4 years old they tried to test my i.q. they showed me this picture of 3 oranges and a pear they asked me which one is different and does not belong they taught me different is wrong but when i was 13 years old i woke up one morning thighs covered in blood like a war like a warning that i live in a breakable takable body an ever-increasingly valuable body that a woman had come in the night to replace me deface me see... my body is borrowed yeah i got it on loan for the time in between my mom and some maggots i don't need anyone to hold me i can hold my own i got highways for stretch marks see where i've grown i sing sometimes like my life is at stake 'cause you're only as loud as the noises you make i'm learning to laugh as loud as i can listen 'cause silence is violence in women and poor people if more people were screaming then i could relax but a good brain ain't diddly if you don't have the facts we live in a breakable takable world an ever available possible world and we can make music like we can make do genius is in a backbeat backseat to nothing if you're dancing especially something stupid like i.q. for every lie i unlearn i learn something new i sing sometimes for the war that i fight 'cause every tool is a weapon if you hold it right and... not a pretty girl i am not a pretty girl that is not what i do i ain't no damsel in distress and i don't need to be rescued so put me down punk wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere i am not an angry girl but it seems like i've got everyone fooled every time i say something they find hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger never to their own fear imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling i'm sorry but i am not a maiden fair and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere generally my generation wouldn't be caught dead working for the man and generally i agree with them trouble is you got to have yourself an alternate plan i have earned my disillusionment i have been working all of my life i am a patriot i have been fighting the good fight and what if there are no damsels in distress what if i knew that and i called your bluff don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up !!!!! i am not a pretty girl i don't really want to be a pretty girl i want to be more than a pretty girl Sass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon this space will be too small Lhasa de Sala (from the album "The Living Road") Soon this space will be too small And I'll go outside To the huge hillside Where the wild winds blow And the cold stars shine I'll put my foot on the living road and be carried from here in the heart of the world I'll be strong as a ship and wise as a wave and I'll say the three words that will save us all And I'll say the three words that will save us all Soon this space will be too small And I'll laugh so hard The walls cave in And I'll die three times And be born again In a little box, with a golden key And a flying fish, will set me free Soon this space will be too small All my viens and bones will be burned to dust You can throw me in to a black iron pot And my dust will tell What my flesh could not Soon this space will be too small And I'll go outside And I'll go outside And I'll go outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentAngel Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 If anyone wants to listen to it here is a link to do so http://www.simplytatydesigns.com/stuff/baz...reen%20song.mp3 Lyrics to "Everybody is free to wear sunscreen" by Baz Luhrman Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97, Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how). Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get plenty of Calcium. Be kind to your knees -- you'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it; it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions (even if you don't follow them). Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but what a precious few should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps and geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old; and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse, but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you are 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me, I'm the sunscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_madam_mimi Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 This is an absolutely gorgeous song...I first came across it when I was looking for a track to end a play I was working on...and wished I'd had it a couple of years earlier... Soon this space will be too small Lhasa de Sala (from the album "The Living Road") I love Lhasa de Sela. I have her other album La Llorona: perfect for a rainy day, or late night bath music. Helps if you speak Spanish. In El Desierto she says (translated from Spanish): "I have come to the desert to laugh at your love/Because the desert is more tender and the cactus a better kisser/I have come to the center of nothingness to shout/That you never did deserve what I so wanted to give to you"... ouch.
