Songs you just connect with?

Recommended Posts

You know them...the ones that you would swear were written with you in mind?

For me - "I Remember" off the latest Kenny Chesney album...

"I remember how it used to feel
back when our love was strong and real...
I remember tears in your eyes
when I looked at you and said goodbye...
All I want right now is to forget
every single thing that I regret
and drown out these embers...
but I remember...."

"I want to wake up to the day
your memory won't stand in my way"


Damn, why can't we forget.....

All-Star by Smashmouth....

Quote

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead



Reminds me of the night I met my ex....

Quote

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb



Sounds like a winner to me....Oh, and the Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb part....sounds all too familiar! B|

Tool Reflection

I find that I can see a light at the end down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole.
Defeated I Concede and move closer. I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness. How pitiful.
It's calling me.

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping.
The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless.
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams.
And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.
before I pine away.

So crucify the ego before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Just let the light touch you and let the words spill thorough
Just let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason.

before I pine away.


actually that album seems to be my sound track for a while now.....

Lateralus

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more and
beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Dude, COUNTRY? Hmmm...well, I suppose you're still cool, even though I had to suppress a massive gag reflex when I tried to contemplate country music. :P

"Puddle Of Grace" by Amy Jo Johnson...gotta love me some Pink Ranger. B|

Edited to add lyrics:

Have you seen yourself today?
Could you recognize your face?
Can you tell me what to say
Mine's lost without a trace

Momma can you help me please?
My hero just stabbed me
With a knife that I did lend
'Oh momma whos my friend

Tell me, tell me why do you go when all the diamonds have run dry
Tell me, tell me how do you feel after bittersweet goodbye's

I had almost found my face
I was almost me
But my pride couldn't swallow what it ate
Boy I hope you're happy

Tell me, tell me why do you go when all the diamonds have run dry
Tell me, tell me how do you feel after bittersweet goodbye's

How do you feel when all the diamonds have run dry?
How do you feel after bittersweet goodbye's?

Today I found my face
Floating in a puddle of grace
A porcelin doll with cracks to mend
Oh momma I found a friend

Oh momma I found a friend
Oh momma I found a friend

Ok,


How do I get back there
to the place where I fell deep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where, she said...

I want something else, to get me through this,

Semi Charmed kind of life, baby, baby....


This song Rocks, and, besides getting laid, REAL GOOD LAID, not just, laid....

Skydiving is the only thing that answered this question for me...

SemiCharmed Kind of life...

I took the hit that I was givin then I bumped up...

Shinedown -"Fly from the inside"

Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders
Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders
On my shoulders
All alone I pierce the chain
And on and on the sting remains
And dieing eyes consume me now
The voice inside screams out loud

I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter

Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside

Every day a new deception
Pick your scene and take direction
And on and on I search to connect
But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets

I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter

CHORUS

I can't escape the pain
I can't control the rage
Sometimes I think that I'm gonna go insane
I'm not against what's right
I'm not for what's wrong
I'm just making my way and I'm gone

Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders


"...just an earthbound misfit, I."

Can't believe someone haven't mentioned Always Look On the Bright Side of Life (Monty Python).

You guys are such angsty teenies. Oh woe the pain of life!

:P

C'mon! I couldn't let such targets pass! Don't blame ME. B|

Just hope it won't rain. The mascara running from Goth faces here would dye the ocean black.

Which is sorta like good if you like any versions of Stones' "Paint it black".

Oh no! It's happening to me too! Ah, but I must weep tears of razors now, and surely my existence is but a spit upon canvas spraypainted with existential angst!

1 hour 3 minutes to next lift. Race ya?

COMPLETELY!
Music is where I relate ... especially when I don't have the guts to say what I wanna or can't find the words which'll do my fellings justice.
The 2 songs which provoke the most feelings ... because of past relationships (MEN) I can't get over are (in order of relevance) are:
"Count On Me (Somebody)" by Tonic
"Wicked Game" by Chris Issak

Most everyone's heard of "Wicked Game" & can relate on some level ... if not, then you've not been deceived by someone you've trusted unconditionally.
But the first song is beautiful ... just like the man I relate it to. It's got great harmony & melody ... it's from Tonic (excellent band) ... so it's worth the listen if you're into music.

simply because the wave of fashion make something popular does not mean those who catch it dont feel the real meaning...

get over yourself and understand there is far more to music than that of the moment, yet every wave is unto itself and some are newly born and so more exciting as they catch the boards you live on in the now.....

REM - Shiny Happy People :P

For real:

Kreator - People Of The Lie

Don't look at me as if I didn't know
Your vanity is all you ever show
What you believe and advocate
Fanatic dogma recycled from yesterday

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You are to me the waste of flesh and blood
I'd love to see you buried in the mud
And when you die no one will shed a tear
So pass me by don't need your hatred here

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

Prejudice, intolerance, eye for an eye

You cannot hide behind those empty claims
Your racist pride is nothing but a game
And you will lose for right is on the side
Of those who choose to fight for humankind

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You can't believe
Don't be deceived

Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells

Land of anger
I didn't ask to be born
Sadness, sorrow
Everything so alone

Laboratory sickness
Infects humanity
No hope for cure
Die by technology

A world full of shit coming down
Tribal violence everywhere
Life in the age of terrorism
We spit in your other face

War of races
World without intelligence
A place consumed by time
End of it all

We're born With pain
No more We're dead
Embryonic cells

Corrision inside -- we feel
Condemned future -- we see
Emptiness calls -- we hear
Final premonition -- the truth

Land of anger
I didn't ask to be born
Sadness, sorrow
Everything so alone

Laboratory sickness
Infects humanity
No hope for cure
Die by technology

We're born With pain
Suffer Remains
We're born With pain
Suffer Remains
We're dead

Drive by Incubus made me drop out of uni and start living the life I wanted to live and say fuck it to to the fear and take control of my life.

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

Mine is Simple Plans "Perfect".

Hey dad, look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't save me

Cuz we've lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
And you know you used to be my hero
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

Cuz we've lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothings gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand

Cuz we've lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Cuz we've lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Agh bro, am just yanking yer chain here - there's absolutely not a shred of seriousness in my post. I'll make better use of smileys in the future.

FWIW, I even like some of that Goth crap B|.

Coldplay - The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

I'm really suprised nobody has mentioned High Speed Dirt by Megadeth.. One of my favs for many years..

Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air
Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I’m off to meet my maker

/chorus/
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won’t stop til I hit the ground, I’m on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I’m on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt

Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I’ll be dead

/chorus/

Jump or die!

Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I’m a dirt torpedo

High speed dirt...


Mike
