Might be interesting in a Freudian sorta way. Feel free to post song lyrics that resonate with you personally for whatever reasons. It can be as short as a single line or couplet, but try to keep it to a couple of stanza's and a chorus at max if possible. Use good judgement. Vulgarity and demeaning lyrics may pass your personal litmus test, but they are neither appropriate for nor appreciated by everyone. Enjoy!

"Unwritten" - Natasha Bedingfield
The lryics, music, and arrangement are simply superb. One of the best new efforts to hit the charts in a long time. Pop, R&B, and southern gospel all coexist here in breathtaking harmony. Hypnotizing and a certain Grammy nominee. Put on your dancing shoes peeps

I love this song.


Beatles, for those of you not familiar

Quote:

There are places I remember all my life, Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments Of lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I loved them all. And with all these friends and lovers There is no one that compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new And I know I will nver lose affection For people and things that went before I know'll often stop and think about them. In my life I loved you more. And I know I will never lose affection For people and things that went before I know'll often stop and think about them. In my life I loved you more In my life I loved you more.

Gosh....I could do this all day.

The Neocon battle hymn comes to mind.....

Here's one for ya from Pink Floyd.

Dogs of War

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the webs we weave

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

I always love these threads....

Ari Hest - Consistency (Probably my favorite song of all time...you've gotta check him out. www.arihest.com)

Why must it always be stop and go?
Where in this life can I find constant flow?
Inconsistency on a larger scale
Impersistence forcing me to bail out
Look left look right look left again before you take a giant step
All this side to side takes me out of my groove makes me feel inept
I toe the straight line for one short time
Forget about regrets and doubts that
Make me stop on a dime

I'm a fool for distraction
Can't keep cool throughout my action
Once in a while I find satisfaction
I have too much care beyond my reach
And too much love that I can't preach
What I really need is consistency

My favorite song:

"Across The Universe"

[Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
[Originally performed by The Beatles in the album "Let It Be"]

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world

Jai guru deva [Repeat to fade]

Seasick, Yet Still Docked by Morrissey

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go

Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way ...
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm...

Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day

And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by

I've always been in love with our universe and its incomparable mystery and beauty. These lyrics always speak of that neverending love affair...

Learning To Fly - Pink Floyd

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

Here's some links to a couple of songs that I love. The words are graphic so I won't post them for those that offend easy.

Captain America

Ah! Another Floyd fan! I knew there was a reason I loved you.
Did you know that song was about David Gilmour being unable to become a pilot because he could not pass the eye examination?

Do you get into The Division Bell album?

Wearing the Inside Out Pink Floyd

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognize I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word...overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming round
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I'm holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again
