Songs That Totally Define Your Feelings On A Topic

[Guest apsham]

Ever come across a song that completely goes with your feelings on a topic? Set Your Goal's "An Old Book Misread" does it for me:

 

false hope handed down, spun all around, with ignorance from past generations.

how many times and with how many rhymes? how many twisted endings for you to realize?

it's not for you to say what every heart should pay. it's another body and soul that isn't your own.

get off my back. this was never salvation for me. so keep it away.

i don't feel a thing can't make believe i do. it's something i don't need.

something that you do and i respect you turning that page in an old book misread.

twenty something rows back now offer up your souls at the drop of a single white robe.

all things foretold. but do you really know what man's worst creation got you, in its hold.

i refuse to stand for organized crime.

organized crime comes in more forms than one and your god is no exception.

if i'm not being clear this right here is about my disgust with the way i was almost brought up.

i'm taking it back, my piece of mind. we'll leave it at that.

in '83 a lamb was led for many years until its head began to swell. it did explode with reasons to think on its own.

cliche i know, but 'somebody' by depeche mode always defined for me exactly what i want out of a relationship.

 

I want somebody to share

Share the rest of my life

Share my innermost thoughts

Know my intimate details

Someone wholl stand by my side

And give me support

And in return

Shell get my support

She will listen to me

When I want to speak

About the world we live in

And life in general

Though my views may be wrong

They may even be perverted

Shell hear me out

And wont easily be converted

To my way of thinking

In fact shell often disagree

But at the end of it all

She will understand me

 

I want somebody who cares

For me passionately

With every thought and

With every breath

Someone wholl help me see things

In a different light

All the things I detest

I will almost like

I dont want to be tied

To anyones strings

Im carefully trying to steer clear of

Those things

But when Im asleep

I want somebody

Who will put their arms around me

And kiss me tenderly

Though things like this

Make me sick

In a case like this

Ill get away with it

"Want" by The Cure...I just got off the phone with my best friend from High School...we both love The Cure...and this song pretty much covers what life was like for her and I, and our friends...

 

i'm always wanting more

anything i haven't got

everything i want it all

i just can't stop

planning all my days away

never find new ways to stay

never feel enough today

tomorrow must be more

 

more drink more dreams

more bed more drugs

more lust more lies

more hate more love

 

more fear more fun

more pain more flesh

more stars more smiles

more fame more sex

 

however hard i want

i know deep down inside

i'll never really get

more hope or any more time

any more time

any more time

any more time

 

i want the sky to fall in

i want lightning and thunder

i want blood instead of rain

i want the world to make me wonder

want to walk on water

take a trip to the moon

oh give me all this

and give me it soon

 

more drink more dreams more drugs

more lust more lies more love

 

however hard i want

i know deep down inside

i'll never really get

more hope or any more time

any more time

any more time

any more time

The Pot by Tool basically describes how I feel about polititions

[QueenCanadia]

Cake's "Cool Blue Reason" reminds me of the Clinton impeachment stuff, and trials in general: "the minutes change like seasons, only eight more hours to go."

 

MG's "North American for Life": "All out of beer, so go get your gun," applies to the entire state of South Carolina. While getting a house key made at the redneck counter (hardware, car parts, fishing, and guns) of the local WalMart, I noticed a sign that said they sell guns from 7 am til 10 pm, 7-days a week, with the exception of Christmas and New Years. You cannot buy alcohol on Sundays in this state, and there are still a lot of counties that are dry altogether.

May I take your words?

 

because that is exactly the song I was thinking of... one of the best DM's songs, and which also best defines what I look for in a relationship...

 

there are other songs that define it pretty well, but they are in Spanish, from a Spanish band called "La Sonrisa de Julia", but I guess it would be difficult for you guys if you don't know Spanish...

those are great lyrics.

i don't want to be in a relationship but, ideally, i would want those things as well.

 

or something like that.

Today-The Smashing Pumpkins. It is how I feel most days. It's pretty much melancholly.

 

Today is the greatest

Day I've ever known

Can't live for tomorrow,

Tomorrow's much too long

I'll burn my eyes out

Before I get out

 

I wanted more

Than life could ever grant me

Bored by the chore

Of saving face

 

Today is the greatest

Day I've ever known

Can't wait for tomorrow

I might not have that long

I'll tear my heart out

Before I get out

 

Pink ribbon scars

That never forget

I tried so hard

To cleanse these regrets

My angel wings

Were bruised and restrained

My belly stings

 

Today is

Today is

Today is

The greatest day

 

I want to turn you on

I want to turn you on

I want to turn you on

I want to turn you

 

Today is the greatest

Today is the greatest day

Today is the greatest day

That I have ever really known

I've posted a couple of lines/verses in another post, but right now, that song that totally define my feelings is this song from the movie's soundtrack "Moulin Rouge"... I can't stop listening to it and getting emotional with it!

 

Ewan McGregor & Allesandro Safina - Your Song (Moulin Rouge)

 

My gift is my song

And this one's for you

And you can tell everybody

That this is your song

It maybe quite simple

But now that it's done

Hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

 

Sat on the roof

And I kicked off the moss

Well some of the verses well

They got me quite cross

But the sun's been kind

While I wrote this song

It's for people like you that

Keep it turned on

 

So excuse me for forgetting

But these things I do

You see I've forgotten

If they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is well I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

 

[Allesandro- opera]

 

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

It may be quite simple

But now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

 

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

[Muran]

After the carnage of breaking up with my boyfriend of 4 years, I gave a listen to this song, and broke down. That's never really happened before O.o

 

"You Could Be Happy" - Snow Patrol

 

Another time ago, there was a boy I was pining for, someone I loved dearly. He stepped on me. A lot. Ironically, he's also one of my dearest friends. I have no idea why >.<

 

But, I was listening to this song, about a month before I met Kev.

 

John Mayer - I'm Gonna Find Another You

 

It's true.

[sodamntired]

whenever i have had a large fight with a girl, and i know that I was right....

 

SNOW PATROL - "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again"

 

Something snapped me out of a dream that I was having

I'd falled down an elevator shaft but now I'm back again

Tidying up after the fight we had

Happy with yourself?

Well, you've never looked so satisfied

Teasing me with stuff like a spolit little brother

You finished yet?

Have you got what you really want?
