Describe yourself/situation.. song

No One Knows Who We Are - Kaskade and Swanky Tunes feat. Lights.
If you think about it, it's a sad song. I want to be discovered by someone who will love me for who I am right now.

 

That's easy.

When I sing I sound just like this. Anyway, I miss my ex and am trying desperately to get over it while dealing with my own problems.

 

For me - I spent years in a really dark and lonely place as I was coming to terms with my sexuality and trying to reconcile that with my religious beliefs. Not to sound cliche - but it does get better!

Now that the struggle is years in my past - I feel like I have a certain responsibility to use my experience to help others who are struggling try to make sense and let them know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So my song lately has been Brave by Sara Bareilles.

I'm a Boy- The Who

Reflection- Lea Salong

It's Time- Imagine Dragons

 

Years ago, when I first realized that I'm not straight I used to listen to UNTITLED by Simple Plan. That still describes me from time to time.

 

i just want someone that i can dedicate the song smile to by uncle kracker. haha.

 

Northern Lights by Bowerbirds

 

Good song

Mine's also from The Who. I've posted it time upon time again. It's "I'm One" from the album Quadrophenia. However, I haven't posted why. Again, here are the lyrics:

Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I'm a loser - no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.

But I'm one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one.

Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight.
Where do you get
That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right.
But I'm one etc.

I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even tanned look on my face.
Ill fitting clothes
I blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud.

But I'm one.

It works in and out of the context of Quadrophenia. In context, it's a teenage mod going through the final stages before reaching full maturity (Love, Reign O'er Me). From having to wear "these clothes" to acting like a certain part in order to fit in, it was pretty much my mentality at a young age. It was hard enough for me to fit in due to my shortness. Wearing a polo shirt wasn't what the "cool" kids wore. They all wore t-shirts and jeans, sometimes even jerseys during the summer. I knew I was a nerd, but I didn't want to be stereotyped and prejudiced because I actually liked learning more than those around me.

Ironically, out of context, it's also a message of individuality. Since my earliest memories, I can recall bashing myself for whatever reason. When I was 2, my large spleen made me look a bit larger than others. From that day until 5th grade, I kept telling myself I was fat. I didn't eat less, no. But nevertheless, I still convinced myself I was overweight even when the truth was that I wasn't. I also grew up in a neighborhood full of kids doing things I could never fathom doing. They were big into extreme sports such as dirt biking, skateboarding, roller blading, whatever. They even made their own grinding rail (which they sucked at). Nevertheless, due to my spleen, lack of height and terrible athleticism, I was the runt. I was the one always picked on and mostly ignored because I wasn't "cool" enough. I kinda kept that thought in the back of my mind still to this day. "You're never gonna make it. You're a loser, no chance to win at anything"

But still, there was also that one part that went "Fuck that. There's something here that will prove to the world that you can do something" Little did I know that was my determination to make accomplishments in unorthodox ways and passion for editing and drumming.

Still, I listened to the part that said "You're a loser" So when I saw that some of the "cooler" kids in school didn't hate my guts, I was surprised. I still sometimes am utterly shocked that they'd think such a thing. I'm a geek, a nerd, gay. I'd be the last thing you'd call a stud. I passed by most of my years in school with barely passing grades. After awhile, I also figured public schooling was not the way I was taught best. When I was with tutors, even with teachers who tutored me, my understanding of things like Math and Science went through the roof, compared to what I'd previously had. So from then, I also knew 4-year college wasn't my best choice, and I had to follow the unorthodox way of a 2-year program.

I'm not even in my 2nd year yet, and I have a job in the field I'm going into. There are many, many people out there who still argue that a 4-year degree is the only way to get a job anywhere. So when I changed my job status, I'd like to consider that my middle finger to all of them, and that times really are changing and have been since humanity stepped foot on this planet.

That is exactly why I still relate to that song. Because it shows that I'm not someone to be generalized (nor is anybody). I don't belong to one specific group. I am not a billion people.

I'm one.

 

Someone like you - Adele

There was something there (still?) but now she's dating someonelse.. :icon_sad:

 

If These Sheets Were States, by All Time Low.

I'm currently in the biggest personal and career move of my life (I am being promoted to my bank's corporate office), which is over 2,800 miles away from my home town, on the other side of the country.

So while the song itself is more-so geared to long distance dating (which is going to affect me), it still pretty much applies to all of my friends that will be staying here in California.

 

Definitely has to be Let Me Be Myself by 3 Doors Down.
Oh, and Joshua by Simon Curtis.

 

Alright, I don't quite fit this since I'm not in a relationship, but the pessimism is still relevant.

[youtube]wRP6egIEABk[/youtube]

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again

In my life, I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning, there is no sign of land
You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

 

Part of Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me."
Not the whole "you should be in a relationship with me" thing. But the part about being "inferior" to everyone else. (She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers type stuff)
Every time I make a friend, they're better than I am at literally everything and I get jealous of their skills.

 

A Little Fall Of Rain - Nick Jonas & Samantha Barks (album version) - YouTube

A Little Fall of Rain - Les Miserables

It's a duet between Eponine and Marius.

Basically, Eponine has taken the bullet for Marius, effectively saving him. She is dying and is in the embrace of Marius who she has unconditional love for, while he just views her as a friend and nothing more and already loves someone else.

While she is dying and in pain, she says 'A little fall of rain can't hurt me now' and she is in his embrace. And she says 'rain will make the flowers grow'.

During the last line, she dies and Marius is left to sing the last word.

It's important to me because it gives me a reason to love despite being unwanted. It's also a reminder to me to act nice to other people because the smallest actions can mean great things for others. It's also tells me that no one ever dies in vain, and flowers will grow. For some reason it's also stopped me from suicide because the thought of dying for someone else seemed for selfless than dying for your own sake.

I'm 16 what can I say? I'm still young, naive and foolish.

 

Duet with myself by Charlie McDonnell is perfect. :icon_wink

 

Definitely "Cough Syrup" for me personally. I always relate to that song and especially now more than ever.
