Catari Jaguar

Indifference - Pearl Jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmL8XbC6Zmo

Beautifully written and inspirational, heartbreaking but courageous. Chokes me up.

My favourite line is "I will scream my lungs out til it fill this room... how much difference will it make?"

Situations may seem hopeless but always try.

Des Carter

Although Im not a huge fan of the band I get shivers everytime I watch this music video.

"When you Find Me" by Joshua Radin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q27RnEQkZk

My only weakness, is knowing your secrets
and holding them close, and hold them tight
I know the way to silently make you
smile with my eyes, when you're trying to fight
Can't you see that when I find you, I'll find me

Epic.

"Express yourself" by madonna

CathyMoran

You're still the one by Shania Twain - it means a lot because both my husband and I have serious long term illnesses and as a result there was a lot of oposition (by both sets of parents)...well my health got a lot worse and we had a lot of other obstacles but we are still together, have a young son and are happily married.

Freewheel by Duke Special - live every moment...

felderkirk

I always liked the line 'swaying daisies sing a lazy song beneath the sun' from 'Mother Natures Son' by The Beatles, mainly just for the imagery though.

The line 'People you've been before that you don't want around anymore' from the Elliott Smith song 'Between The Bars' is also a nice reference to regret and insecurity.

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it

who's gonna give a ****
who's gonna take the call
when you find out that the road ahead
is painted on a wall
and you're turned up to top volume
and you're just sitting there in pause
with your feral little secret
scratching at you with its claws
and you're trying hard to figure out
just exactly how you feel
before you end up parked and sobbing
forehead on the steering wheel

who are you now
and who were you then
that you thought somehow
you could just pretend
that you could figure it all out
the mathematics of regret
so it takes two beers to remember now
and five to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what

how many times undone
can one person be
as they're careening through the facade
of their favorite fantasy
you just close your eyes slowly
like you're waiting for a kiss
and hope some lowly little power
will pull you out of this
but none comes at first
and little comes at all
and when inspiration finally hits you
it barely even breaks your fall

who were you then
and who are you
now that you can't pretend
that you can figure it all out
subtract out the impact
and the fall is all you get
so it takes two beers to remember now
and three more to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
i loved you
so what

Lot of personal resonance about losing people and in turn losing yourself.

Speaking of Ani Difranco...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc4eYOhNnU8

Great song about loving someone who's already taken, and knowing you don't stand a chance... In fact, Ani is such a great lyricist, and her guitar skills are immense...

too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you're perfect together

so f*ck you
and your untouchable face
and f*ck you
for existing in the first place

Chuchoter

Ani is like angst central. :P

Easy one, Warm by The Coronas. The entire song, a womans dream.

girvtheswerve

Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean, ah-ah...

Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.
Love you till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.

CathyMoran

It may say a lot about me but this song has been said in the past about me: "If she knew what she wants" by the Bangles, lyrics are self explanatory!

Another one: "The whole of the moon" by the Waterboys, again the whole song is self explanatory.

Michael Buble - Haven't met you yet

"Wherever you are, whenever it's right, you'll come out of nowhere and into my life"

I hope it's going to be true for me some day

My favorite quote is "all you need is love"

I don't know why, but i love REM's " At My Most Beautiful". Imagine someone loving you that much.....sigh.....

At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly.
With every one, whisper I love you.
I let you sleep.
I know you're closed eye watching me,
Listening.
I though I saw a smile.

LOVE THIS SONG!!!

When I was in school a guy told me it described exactley how he felt & it became so meaningful to us! Ahhhh those were the days!

G86

You're My World
The Shelter From The Rain
You're The Pills
That Take Away My Pain
You're The Light
That Helps Me Find My Way
You're The Words
When I Have Nothing To Say

And In This World
Where Nothing Else Is True
Here I Am
Still Tangled Up In You
I'm Still Tangled Up In You
Still Tangled Up In You

You're The Fire
That Warms Me When I'm Cold
You're The Hand
I Have To Hold As I Grow Old
You're The Shore
When I Am Lost At Sea
You're The Only Thing
That I Like About Me

And In This World
Where Nothing Else Is True
Here I Am
Still Tangled Up In You
I'm Still Tangled Up In You

How Long Has It Been
Since This Storyline Began
And I Hope It Never Ends
And Goes Like This Forever

In This World
Where Nothing Else Is True
Here I Am
Still Tangled Up In You
Tangled Up In You
I'm Still Tangled Up In You
Still Tangled Up In You

Asphyxia

Don't tell me the skies the limit when there's footprints on the moon

This quote makes me feel like I can do anything!

Panthro

This tune went on repeat a few times over the past near on 1 year at this stage.

"Weak"

Lost in time I can`t count the words
(I) said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
`Cause I wanted you

(And) now I sit here I`m all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
`Cause I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I`m no ones fool
Weak as I am

So what am I now I'm loves last home
I`m all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my heart, there`d be no space for air
`Cause I wanted you

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPglNjxVHiM

As did this now that I think of it:

"Bother"
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I won't let go till it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me **** to digest

I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
Once I hold on I won't let go till it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I won't let go till it bleeds

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I'll never live down my deceit

guess I never really outgrew the melodrama :rolleyes:

RacoonQueen

Yes, yes Rainbow Kirby I know Simple Plan are rubbish :P but this song is unreal. Anyone who has ever been in a long distance relationship will probably relate to it. An ex of mine used to text me lines of this song all the time when we were apart. Still means a lot and is on pretty much all my playlists.

Edit: Sadly, literally 2 years ago. I realised I couldn't wait anymore. Damn living in different countries/timezones!

I genuinely think that this is the message that should be given to teens over here; a lot of it applied to me growing up.

Contessa Raven

This song hits me in a certain way. I feel every word. I can't really explain it.

"Snuff"

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know

Fabulous song, I hope one day to have someone in my life that I love so much that when I look at them that song starts to play in my head. Love it.

Freddie Mercury's voice in this song is amazing, it always makes me a mixture of happy and sad inside.

Novella

At my grandad's funeral two weeks ago, myself and three of my cousins performed the song, 'The Cloud's Veil' as a reflection after communion.

"Even though the rain hides the stars,
even though the mist swirls the hills,
even when the dark clouds veil the sky,
You are by my side.
Even when the sun shall fall in sleep,
even when at dawn the sky shall weep,
even in the night when storms shall rise,
You are by my side. You are by my side.

Bright the stars at night that mirror heaven’s way to you.
Bright the stars in light where dwell the saints in love and truth.

Deep the feast of life where saints shall gather in deep peace.
Deep in heaven’s light where sorrows pass beyond death’s sleep.

Blest are they who sing the fellowship of saints in light.
Blest in heaven’s King. All saints adore the Lord, most high.

Even though the rain hides the stars,
even though the mist swirls the hills,
even when the dark clouds veil the sky,
You are by my side."

(I'm pretty sure the actual words are, "God is by my side" but "you" seemed more appropriate. It's a lovely hymn anyway.)

Don't listen when they tell you that these are your best years
Don't let anybody protect your ears
It's best that you hear what they don't want you to hear
It's better to have pressure from peers than not have peers
Beer won't give you chest hair
Spicy food won't make it curl
When you think you've got it all figured out and then your universe collapses, trust me, kid...
It's not the end of the world.

oh so many....

This by The Magic Numbers feels like it was written about me and my OH at the start of our relationship. I was just out of a long relationship and kept pushing him (my now OH) away as I thought everyone would judge me if I jumped straight into a relationship with him. By the time I realised that I would lose him if I kept pushing he felt I was playing games and started to push me away :rolleyes:

This song (to me) is about that....

"I See You, You See Me"

I never wanted to love you, but that's ok
I always knew that you'd leave me anyway
But darling when I see you, I see me

I asked the boys if they'd let me go out and play
They always said that you'd hurt me anyway
But darling when I see you, I see me

Its alright I never thought I'd fall in love again
Its alright I look to you as my only friend
Its alright I never thought that I could feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

I never thought that you wanted for me to stay
So I left you with the girls that came your way
But darling when I see you, I see me
I often thought that you'd be better off left alone
Why throw a circle round a man with broken bones
But darling when I see you, I see me

Its alright I never thought I'd fall in love again
Its alright I look to you as my only friend
Its alright I never thought that I could feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

You always looked like you had something else on your mind
But when I try to tell you, you'd tell me never mind
But darling when I see you, you see me

I wanna tell you that I'll never love anyone else
You wanna tell me that you're better off by yourself
But darling when I see you, you see me

This is not what I'm like [x4]
This is not what I do
This is not what I'm like
I think I'm falling for you

I never thought - This is not what I'm like
I never thought - This is not what I do
I never thought - This is not what I'm like
I never thought - I think I'm falling for you
I never thought -
I never thought -
That I could feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

And it looks like
I feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

Now everytime I hear it it makes me so happy as it reminds me how we sorted it out and how he rocks my world to this day...4 years later!

Teddy_Picker

And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love



Outstanding! Not the same without Morrissey's delivery, but still!
The 'It's so easy to laugh....' line gets me everytime.

One of my favourite lines ever is:

Every poet is a cannibal, every artist is a thief,
All kill their inspiration, and sing about the grief.

Michellenman

Pretty much every song by City and Colour (Dallas Green) strikes a cord with me, but this one especially.

You need not to climb mountain tops
You need not to cross the sea
You need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak


You need not to reach for the stars,
When life becomes dark
When the wind does blow against the grain
You must follow your heart

You must follow your heart

When all your friends have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
And the happiness for which you long
is washed away like a oceans tide

When all the hard times outweigh the good
All your words are misunderstood
When the day seems lost from the start
You must follow your heart

You must follow your heart

If you feel, you've paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love it life
spins like a winding wheel

If you should wake, to find you're abandoned
And the road you travel leads to a dead
When death creeps in to play its part
You must follow your heart

You must follow your heart.

When I am feeling sad and want a little sad music I listen to Tori Amos, especially Me and a Gun.
