    Everything by Michael buble. My favorite line is

    " and I can't believe ooh that I'm your man and I get to kiss you baby just because I can"

    Indifference - Pearl Jam



    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.

    "When you Find Me" by Joshua Radin:


    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

    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.

    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.

    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...



    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

    Ani is like angst central. :P

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 202 ✭✭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.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 7,458 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    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 :(

    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! :)

    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

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

    This quote makes me feel like I can do anything!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,768 ✭✭✭✭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




    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

    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!
