Songs That Touches Me Deep

[Jewelinmyheart]

I'll start with this song cause I think that it is the most beautiful song I've heard from Jewel's works this far...

Hands

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless

I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
But it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

As The Rush Comes :: Motorcycle

There's a coldness in the air
but i don't care....
(Embrace me...surround me)

Travelling somewhere
could be anywhere
there's a coldness in the air
but i don't care
we drift deeper
life goes on
we drift deeper
into the sound

(Embrace me...surround me.. as the rush..)

Travelling somewhere

feeling strong

so bring it on so bring it onnnn
we drift deeper into the song

we drift deeper into the sound
feeling strong
so bring it on so bring it onnnn

feeling strong
so bring it on so bring it onnnn

embrace me .. surround me
as the rush comes [ x 8 ]

as the rush comes
as the rush comes
as the rush comes...

Beautiful Things :: Andain

Can I change my mind
did I think things through
It was once my life -
it was my life at one time

Got up early, found something's missing
my only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck,
and soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second,
then nothing's changed.
Who am I this time, where's my name
I guess it crept away.

No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

I forgot that I might see,
So many beautful things.
I forgot that I might need,
to find out what life could bring.

Take this happy ending away, it's all the same.
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
this trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop,
now who's gonna wait.

No one's calling for me at the door.
and unpredictable won't bother anymore.
and silently gets harder to ignore.
look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
what's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
just let it go, what now can never be.

Now what do I do
can I change my mind
did I think things through

It was once my life - it was my life at one time

[Jewelinmyheart]

You Once Told Me :: Andain

You once told me I wouldn?t know it enough
Well, let me tell you something
Yeah, I do
You once told me I wouldn't feel it enough
Well, let me tell you that
Baby, I do

Sometimes I find myself in a scene
In a dream that's so far away
Sometimes
Tell me what's happened to me

Sometimes I see myself falling
Although I don't show it much
Sometimes I'm crazy for you
Well, maybe I'm fine
And tell me you're mine

Sometimes I find myself in a scene
In a dream that's so far away
Sometimes
Tell me what's happened to me

Tell me, baby, can you hold me now?
You don't have to say it-I feel it, too
And maybe I'm falling or maybe
But I don?t show it much

Tell me, baby
Can you see me now?
Show me baby that I don?t know how
How can I start to see inside the fog?

But sometimes I find myself in a scene
In a dream that's so far away
Sometimes
Tell me what's happened to me

In a scene, in a dream that's so far away
Sometimes
Tell me what's happened to me?

Schiller
LEBEN... I FEEL YOU

I feel you... In every stone. In every leaf of every tree you?ve ever grown (that you ever might have grown). I feel you... In every thing. In every river that might flow. In every seed you might have sown. I feel you... In every vein. In every beating of my heart each breath I take (in every breath i?ll ever take). I feel you... Anyway... In every tear that I might shed. In every word I?ve never said. I feel you...

[Little Bird]

Ooo excellent. You put in Schiller. Agree with you there, very deep words!

I have only a few mins at the moment but will come back and post some choices of mine.

Thanks Jochy

[doyouwanttoplay]

I could post loads on this subject - I'll go easy though and just paste a few!! -

I love the line "When you die you'll wonder was that it" in this song:

Nerina Pallot - Dear Frustrated Superstar

Dear Frustrated Superstar, your mother's waiting in the car
To whisk you off to your new premiere
And all the friends who knew your name
Are waiting, wondering what became
Of the girl that they once knew but never loved
They never loved.
So every city tells the lie
Of beggars, tramps and butterflies
Of all these things, then what am I?
A princess in a threadbare gown,
A gaudy, painted circus clown?
A child who lost her key and can't get home?
All the things I never was -
A traitor in the Western Wars
A girl who did it just because.
Do or die, or don't at all
Prepare to suffer for your call
Some things have to hurt or they're not true.
They can't be true
When you die, you'll wonder, was that it?
Will you think of how you'd wished you lived?
Well, you're here now
Yes you're here now.
So I only want to be up there
With a hundred others, I don't care
'Cause i'm here now
Yes i'm here now.
Papers, books, philosophy
An envelopes eternity
I count each passing minute, hour, day.....
Wonder how I smile so well,
Wonder how they never tell
There's really no one living here at all.
So here a line from God's own song
To comfort you when things go wrong
My children never visit anymore.
Go searching in my sky at night
They must be there to set alight
Their mothers aching heart is so unsure
I'm so unsure....
When you die, you'll wonder, was that it?
Will you think of how you'd wished you lived?
Well, you're here now
Yes you're here now.
So I only want to be up there
With a hundred others, I don't care
'Cause i'm here now
Yes i'm here now.
Dear Frustrated Superstar, I really hope you get that far
If not, I hope you live
I hope you live.



And by credible contrast - my most played song on my iPod - Kelly Clarkson's "Because Of You" which I love :wub:

Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Hehe, I'll pass on your sentiments to my iPod...

...he says "Thanks very much, you're too kind" :D

[Little Bird]

Love this one. Not so much inspirational for me as it is just poetic.

Josephine (Tori Amos)

not tonight josephine.

in an army's strength therein
lies the denouement. From
here you're haunting me. By
the Seine so beautiful, only
not to be of use-- impossible.

so strange, victory- 1200 spires
the only sound, moscow burning.
empty like the Tuileries. Like a dream
Vienna seems, only not to be of use- impossible.

in the last extremity -- to
advance or not to advance- I
hear you laughing

even still you're calling me
"not tonight, not tonight

not tonight"

Josephine

Love Ridden -
.......................


Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wish on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

If Things Were Perfect
...................................



"give me summer"
"give me summer"
broken darkness my cold end
i look for places i've never seen
nothing moves but the quiet on the street
now I open my eyes to this
isolated walking long hard hours
winter cold just brings me winter showers
it's so brutal with the cold sky
wrapped in cold late at night

"give me summer"

come clean, there's no sun yet
the only lights here are made
i can't speak, i can't hear, but i know i'm real
there's no warm here anyway
the darkest lights before the dawn
you remember the sun but it sank
in the water that eats the light
wrapped in cold late at night

"give me summer"

i open my eyes, it's cold
the only souls go by
lift the bridge out of the water
the stone black light
living is easy when it's night
the cold has covered the rain
i can see forever, to the deep
wrapped in cold, late at night

"give me summer"

[kjm030584]

This is my all-time favorite APC song:



The Outsider
----------------------------------------------------------------
Help me if you can,
It's just that this,
Is not the way I'm wired,
So could you please,
Help me understand why,
You've given in to all these reckless dark desires, you're
Lying to yourself again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it,
You put it on a fault line,
What will it take to get it through to you, precious?
I?m over this
Why do you wanna throw it away like this,
Such a mess
i don't wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die

Medicated,
Drama queen,
Picture perfect numb belligerence,
Narcissistic,
Drama queen,
Craving fame and all its decadence

Lying through your teeth again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it,
You put it on a fault line,
What will it take to get it through to you precious?
I'm over this, why do you want to throw it away like this?
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now?
Everyone will
Have
His
Day
To
Die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, you put on a fault line,
What will it take to get through to you precious?
I?m over this
Why do you throw it away like this?

Such a mess,
Over this!
Over this!

Disconnect
And self destruct,
One
Bullet
At a time
What's
Your
Hurry,
Everyone will
Have
His
Day
To
Die
If you choose to pull the trigger,
Should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere
Far away from here

Central Reservation :: Beth Orton

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress,
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath;
Stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

If this is where memories are made,
I'm gonna like what I see,
And everything that I ever took for granted,
I'm gonna let it be.

I step through every shade,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be,
When it's really all,
Make it really all,
Compared to what.

It's like living in the middle of the ocean,
With no future, no past,
And everything that's good about now,
Well, might just glide right past.

I'm stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is fine just as it is.

And everything is sacred here,
And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be,
When it's really all compared to what.

[Jewelinmyheart]

Anywhere :: Beth Orton

Paint what you know, not what you see
Hope blinds reason, thankfully
Know how it is when something fits
There's just a question of being it

I'd do anything to see you smile again
And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories

Nothing is done without effect
There's nothing done that won't reflect
Pull one brick from an endless wall
Would it drown us all?

'Cause I'd do anything to see you smile again
And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
'Cause I wanna live where the fear is all gone
I wanna protect, and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers and memories

You just need love like you say you do
And there may never be a time when it won't get through
Yeah, you know how it is when something fits
Now there's just a question of being it

And I'd do anything to see you smile again
But I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
'Cause I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect, and I know what it's from
Yeah I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories

Nothing is done without effect
There's nothing done that won't reflect
If I pull one brick from an endless wall
Would it drown us all?

25th December :: Everything But The Girl

Words and Music by Ben Watt

And I see forests and it's the 25th of December
and my old man plays the piano for Christmas.
He plays the piano for Christmas.

And we're all there, all the aunties and uncles,
and the angle's on the top of the tree.
Up there o the top of the tree.

And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.

Have I enough time, have I just some time,
to revisit, to go back, to return, to open my mouth again
and say something different this time.

And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport,
and you're a grown up and still unsure,
and I'm thirty and I don't know nothing no more.

And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.

And I'm sitting, sitting on the top of the stairs,
and you're crying out on the towpath by the river
with all the swans and all the people walking by.

And all of a sudden I'm stuck with an urge to unlock a door
with a key that's too big for my hands
and I drop it, and it falls at your feet.

Come on, come on, it's there at your feet.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.

[WhatWouldJewelDo]

This song has touched me in such a deep profound way....

Jewel - My Own Private God's Gift to Woman

Do you want to stick your tongue down my throat
Do you want to grab my thighs
Yes, I have very nice boobies
They are the perfect grabbing size

I'm just a nice girl
I thought I had everything
Until you flashed me
and I saw what I have been missing
Ive been saving myself my whole life
for some slimeball to come along
I am so desperate
I'll do you in the hilton on the front lawn

I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
when I think of what I have been given
My own private God's gift to women
My own private God's gift to women

I was just thinking it would really turn me on
If some guy would drive by and show me his tongue
I was just thinking it would really make my day
If he offered me a place to stay, with pay

I'm just a nice girl
I thought I had everything
Until you groped me
and I saw what I have been missing
Ive been saving myself my whole life
for some sketcher? to come along
I am so desperate
I'll do you in the hilton on the front lawn

I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
when I think of what I have been given
My own private God's gift to women
My own private God's gift to women

I was just thinking that It would be really cool
If I got hit upside the head with a manly tool
that way, I would have nothing left to say
and he could have his way with me all day
I'm just a nice girl
I thought I had everything
Until you flashed me
and I saw what I have been missing
Ive been saving myself my whole life
for some MFer to come along
I am so desperate
That I'm writing this song

And your so vain,
you probably think this song is about you

I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline
when I think of what I have been given

Yea yeaea yea
My own private God's gift to women
My own private God's gift to women

[Little Bird]

It's a great song. I love listening to it. Such a different style for Jewel too even though it is one of earliest songs. Almost punkish.

And it's

...Some Sketcher like you to come along....

[kjm030584]

yyeah... that song just about brought me to tears when i first heard it. :mecry:

[WhatWouldJewelDo]

I know, seriously, throw away Spirit. Let's just listen to Gods Gift to Woman and Kiss your Ass all day!

[kjm030584]

Actually Kiss Your Ass is a really good song, I wasn't sure that i'd like it, but it's pretty good.

[Eibhlin]

Another Good Lie

Darling when I was your age
I could do anything
There were days of rock 'n roll
And lunar strolls and friendship rings
And baby I told myself
I'd follow my deepest dreams
Knowing if I did my best
Success would always follow me

It was another good lie
Coming down like a freezing rain
From a hot blue sky
Another good lie
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
Another good lie
Coming down on your Daddy's soul
'Til it made him old
Another good lie
Another good lie
Another good lie

Darling they all told me
That they would do anything
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the ocean
Do the damnedest things
And baby then they took my heart
And vanished like a memory
Leaving it to time and circumstance
To come deliver me

It was another good lie
Coming down like a freezing rain
From a hot blue sky
Another good lie
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
Another good lie
Coming down on your Daddy's soul
'Til it made him old
Another good lie
Another good lie
Another good lie

Baby I'm just one man
And my world fell apart long ago
I guess I'm still in shock
It shouldn't have been like that
I guess I still hope for deliverance

Darling when I was your age
I could do anything
I could be a restless heart
A social force
Or just genuine
And baby don't our dreams die hard
In the ashes of destiny
I wish that I could lay to rest
The bitterness that keeps telling me

About another good lie
Coming down like a freezing rain
From a hot blue sky
Another good lie
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
Another good lie
Coming down on your Daddy's soul
'Til it made him old
Another good lie
Another good lie
Another good lie

Loreena McKennitt - Dante's prayer

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone


I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars


Chorus:
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me


Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire


Chorus


Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars


Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares


Chorus


Please remember me
Please remember me, ...

In every seed you might have sown. I feel you... In every vein. In every beating of my heart each breath I take (in every breath i?ll ever take). I feel you... Anyway... In every tear that I might shed. In every word I?ve never said. I feel you...
wow, that was awesome! it really brought back alot of old memories...
this is one of my favorite Loreena McKennitt songs:


Words by William Butler Yeats
Music by Loreena McKennitt.
Pipe intro (C? H? Mise Le Ulaingt?) composed and performed by Patrick Hutchinson

The Two Trees

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear.
The changing colours of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light;
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night;
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody.
And made my lips and music wed,
Murmuring a wizard song for thee,
There the Loves a circle go,
The flaming circle of our days,
Gyring, spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways;
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.

Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile,
Lift up before us when they pass,
Or only gaze a little while;
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives,
Roots half hidden under snows,
Broken boughs and blackened leaves.
For all things turn to bareness
In the dim glass the demons hold,
The glass of outer weariness,
Made when God slept in times of old.
There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unresting thought;
Flying, crying, to and fro,
Cruel claw and hungry throat,
Or else they stand and sniff the wind,
And shake their ragged wings: alas!
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind:
Gaze no more in the bitter glass.
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart,
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start,
And all the trembling flowers they bear.
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart,
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.

Okay, here's one... it's my favorite month to listen to this song! my attitude shifts are very season-based.

October - Evanescence

I can't run anymore,
I fall before you,
Here I am,
I have nothing left,
Though I've tried to forget,
You're all that I am,
Take me home,
I'm through fighting it,
Broken,
Lifeless,
I give up,
You're my only strength,
Without you,
I can't go on,
Anymore,
Ever again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

I can't run anymore,
I give myself to you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
In all my bitterness,
I ignored,
All that's real and true,
All I need is you,
When night falls on me,
I'll not close my eyes,
I'm too alive,
And you're too strong,
I can't lie anymore,
I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.




This is probably the only slow song by them that I listen to a lot! It's so warm but I get chills when I hear it. Have I mentioned it's my favorite time of year?

[Little Bird]

Dont Give Up - Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel

In this proud land we grew up strong

we were wanted all along

I was taught to fight
taught to win

I never thought I could fail.
No fight left or so it segms

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

I've changed my face
I've changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose.

Don't give up - 'cause you have friends

Don't give up - you're not beaten yet

Don't give up - I know you can make it good.

Though I saw it all around

never thought that I could be affected

Thought that we'd be last to go

it is so strange the way things turn.
Drove the night toward my home

the place that I was Dorn on the lakeside

As daylight broke I saw the earth

the trees had burned down to the ground.

Don't give up - you still have us

Don't give up - we don't need much of anything

Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong.
Rest your head
you worry too much

it's going to be alright.
When times get rough you can fall back on us

Don't give up
please
don't give up!

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore

Going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below.
Whatever may come and whatever may go -
That river's flowing
that river's flowing.
Moved on to another town
tried hord to settle down

For every iob so many men
so many men no one needs.

Don't give up - 'cause you have friends

Don't give up - you're not the only one

Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed

Don't give up - you still have us.
Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are

Don't give up - you know it's never been easy

Don't give up - 'cause I believe there's a place

There's a place where we belong

This song doesn't actually relate to anything I've been through personally, but in my eyes, this track on Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" really showed that she can be a credible artist... and more than anything, it took a lot of guts to write a song so personal - and then to include it on the album too. It popped up on my iPod today when it was on shuffle so thought I'd post the lyrics...

I'm Ok

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm

Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
*Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I'm Ok

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've
built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming please no more
Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done?
To you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday

It's not so easy to forget
All the marks you left along her neck
When I was thrown against old stairs
And everyday afraid to come home in fear of what i might
see next

Bruises fade father but the pain remains to same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love you gave
Every morning that i wake, i look back at yesterday
And I'm ok
I'm ok

I don't have any Christina A. on my computer. But I do like some of her stuff when I hear it.

[Eibhlin]

my attitude shifts are very season-based.


I know what you mean Kyle, this time of year I get homesick for the White Mountains, and all the fall foliage up north
down here a hurricane inevitably blows away all the leaves before they can turn :P :rolleyes:

[last_dance_rodeo]

I wish i lived somewhere with mountains they are so pretty

[kjm030584]

I went camping in the white mountain range in NH... I forget the name of the campground... but it was really nice. I've never seen so much wildlife in all my life, not just bugs! But to be honest that was just a 3 day thing while we were on our way to Bar Harbor Maine. I'd love to spend more time in the White Mountain's in NH.

[Eibhlin]

gosh i havent been to Bah Ha-bah in ages!!!
ya i was pretty lucky growing up, my grandfather's camp is up in Bartlett Nh, between Black and Iron mtn., so i got to spend most of the summer weekends up there hiking around, catching frogs, exploring creepy looking abandoned camps...all that fun stuff
i cant wait to bring my girls up there soon!

[kjm030584]

:lalala: i totally forget what i was going to say.

[Eibhlin]

you were going to say something like "It's a shame the Old Man On The Mountain fell off, and I am going to buy property in New Hampshire despite ridiculously high property taxes."

or that you forgot to take your alzheimers meds, and that is why you forgot what to say

[Little Bird]

ahem...off-topic

*boy I haven't said that in a while*

[Eibhlin]

yep, we were just testing your reflexes!

not that this song really has deep meaning for me,
but I have "Special Ed" stuck in my head, so all day long I am humming to myself:

"...oh Special Ed, mama dropped him on his head, now he thinks he's a piece of bread, 'cause he's a little bit special..."

and it's driving me INSANE!!!!! :shudder:

[kjm030584]

lofl!

try 'Country Love Song' ... same artist.

[Eibhlin]

or you could try "country Death Song" by the Violent Femmes :daz:

[kjm030584]

i'll try that if you try the one that i told you to.

[Eibhlin]

ok, but i'm holding ya to it

[michaelsjewel]

i'll just be funny with this title of topic - songs that touch me deep based on the title of the song itself - and it does mean something - but i'm not telling!
