The "rules": Post some cool lyrics from any song. Just so that it doesn't end in people copying and pasting long long song lyrics, that nobody will ever read, do NOT post *complete* lyrics. Only like one verse and/or the chorus. Also add a short note why you like that particular (part of the) lyrics. Don't forget to include the song name and the lyrics.
I start with Gogol Bordello - Wonderlust King And I like this because it sounds like something to live by. Something that I secretly want to live by
"It's our god-forsaken right to be loved" - I'm Yours - Jason Mraz Because I think it's true. and "And if the moon can turn the tides It can pull the tears and take ‘em from our eyes And make ‘em into monsoons" Monsoon - Jack Johnson I don't know why I love this song so much other than the fact that I listened to this song non-stop during one of the hardest weeks of my life.
'There Will Be Rest' Arranged by Frank Tichelli I sang this in the 2008 State Honors Choir for Michigan. These are the entire lyrics. It was originally a poem by Sara Teasdale, which is why I felt I could post all the lyrics. I cry when I listen to this song because this was her suicide note. It's so beautiful. Search for it on YouTube.
I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking as we moved together in the dark You touch her skin and then you think that she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me So when you ask, "is something wrong?" I think you're damn right there is but we can't about it now This is the moment that you know that you told her that you loved her but you don't So one last touch, and then we'll go and we'll pretend that it was something so much more Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me -Tiny Vessels by Death Cab For Cutie I love this song. It describes how I felt dating boys.
It's about he nights we spent locked up inside your room it's about the morning breaking always just a bit too soon it's about the way you're scared baby, just maybe I'm aware this is what you need 'cause [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0i69Z_ANnk[/YOUTUBE]
And the bartender who attends to pretend that he's concerned Says girlie girlie you're at your best when you're sober And she slurs no no just one more And one turns into four And the fourth drink instinct is taking over Fourth Drink Instinct by Cute is What we Aim For
That's such a ridiculous song. "When you laugh you'll feel my breath there filling up your lungs. And when you cry, those aren't your tears but I'm there falling down your cheek. and when you say you love him, taste me I'm like poison on your tongue- But when you're tired, if you're quiet, you'll hear me singing you to sleep." -mewithoutyou, Bullet to Binary
You make think I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you will join us, and the world will love as one. Imagine by John Lennon.
I have that poster hanging on my wall here at school Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it be. -The Beatles. Let It Be. Lol, this song was pretty much the anthem to my coming out, and I kept on thinking "Let it be...."
Another song that makes me cry... 'No One is Alone' from Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece 'Into The Woods'. When I felt at my lowest, completely alone and left out, I heard this song and it helped immensely.
From Indigo Girls - Ghost "And I feel it like a sickness How this love is killing me Id walk into the fingers Of your fire willingly And dance the edge of sanity Ive never been this close Im in love with your ghost"
"I'm in love with your ghost". What a powerful imagery, somehow this got me thinking, and somehow reminded me of a love long lost - and of this song. Sonata Arctiva - Tallulah
