What is your favorite song???...I have alot of favorites but i mean the song LYRICS which song do you think has the best message in it??....(try and include lyrics plz)


I would say....When I'm gone-Three doors down



There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
Well somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Well maybe it's too far away
Or maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone

When your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness, I'm alive but I'm alone
And part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone

Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone,
Love me when I'm gone,
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone




....Or Emotinless-Good Charlotte


Hey dad
I’m writing to you
not to tell you, that I still hate you
just to ask you
how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart
are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we’re all right?

but we’re all right
we’re all right

chorus:
it’s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother’s heart
you broke your children for life
it’s not ok,
but we’re all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I’m writing just to let you know that I’m still alive

the days I spent so cold, so hungry
were full of hate
I was so angry
those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there’s things I’ll take, to my grave
but I’m okay
I’m okay

chorus:
it’s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother’s heart
you broke your children for life
it’s not ok,
but we’re all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I’m writing just to let you know that I’m still alive
yeah, I’m still alive

sometimes…
I forgive
yeah and this time
I’ll admit
that I miss you, said I miss you

Chorus:
it’s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother’s heart
you broke your children for life
it’s not ok,
but we’re all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I’m writing just to let you know that were still alive

and sometimes
I forgive
and this time
I’ll admit, that I miss you, miss you
hey dad

I moved your thread madbanana. I thought it enjoy a nicer fit in our music forum.

[Tigrazhia]

I'm going to post 2 songs.

The first one is a very very simple one. It doesn't have fancy lyrics or any "deep" meaning or anything.

A few years ago I met a man online in a chat room (and I"m not talking about my husband). We had an instant connection, so powerful it was amazing. I'm not talking passion or the kind of love I feel for my husband, but he's become like a father to me & I'm like a daughter to him... It's very special, and it almost feels like we should've been related by blood, but we're not :-)
We've both been looking for a special someone to fill that void in our lives and we clicked :-)

So this song is a song that taken out of context may seem cheezy and simple, but it's a song that grabbed us instantly & it's become "our song" since then :-)

(Wonder what it is about this board that makes me get so personal? This is very personal to me )

"Made for lovin' you" ~ Doug Stone

Everybody, sings a different kind of song
All God's children have somewhere they belong
Oh I've heard it said, I know it must be true
We were meant to be, I'm made for loving you

Everybody, has something he must be
Call it fortune or just call it destiny
I have spent my life making my way to you
See the way we fit, I'm made for loving you

Like blue skies always sing your name with sunshine
And just like laughter goes along with good times
I have spent my life making my way to you
See the way we fit, I'm made for loving you

Girl, I've spent my life making my way to you
See the way we fit, I'm made for loving you

The second song is a song I always play if I'm stuck in a writer's block, or can't think of a title for my new story or just plainly need to "relax while still thinking" (did that make sense...lol...)

Fragile ~ Sting

Sting - Fragile lyrics
If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

[G.G.]

Starry Night (Don McLean's version) is probably my absolute favorite song. The words are moving, but when paired w/ the melody, is truly poetry set to music. After I first heard the song, I read this website about Van Gogh--it gave more meaning to the struggles in his life and the lyrics in the song.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will...

I have lots of favorites, but one that really means a lot is "I Am What I Am". It's from the musical La Cage Aux Folles, and it was also released as a commercial single by Gloria Gaynor...

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say, "I am what I am"

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
'Til you can shout out, "I am what I am"

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces, sometimes the deuces
It's one life, and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can shout out, "I am what I am"

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces, sometimes the deuces
It's one life, and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can shout out, "I am what I am"

I am I am I am good
I am I am I am strong
I am I am I am worthy
I am I am I belong

I am I am I am useful
I am I am I am true
I am I am somebody
I am as good as you

Yes I am

[greenie]

GrammarGoddess, I absolutely love that song too! Great choice!

[glennajo]

Okay, don't hate me. This is country, but I LOVE this song. It makes me cry.

The Little Girl - John Michael Montgomery

Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of His name, never read her His word
Two non- believers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl.

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the tv and sit there on the couch
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out.

And the drinking and the fighting
Just got worse every night
Behind their couch she'd be hiding
Oh what a sad little life.

And like it always does the bad just got worse
With every slap and every curse
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life

Then some people from the city
Took the girl far away
To a new mom and a new dad
Kisses and hugs every day

First day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
And a small little girl started at a picture of Him
She said "I know that man, up there on that cross.
I don't know His name, but I know He got off.

'Cause He was there in my old house
And held my close to His side
As I hid there behind our couch
The night that my parents died."

[G.G.]

Thanks greenflute! I had some computer "issues" so I'm late in replying.

I have a cat named Vincent Van Gogh...lol. When he was 2 months old, some mean boys cut his ears off, if you can believe that. I'm not a "cat person" per se, since I'm allergic and am a dog lover, but I do love this cat!!! He's awfully sweet--and he plays fetch!

"FREELOVE" - Depeche Mode (Deep Dish Mix)

If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from

If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared

I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay

We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing here

We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

[Deep Dish]

CG, that's my favorite mix too!

So many to choose from but for tonight I'll say The Smiths "Girlfriend in a Coma" and Tom Waits "The Piano Has Been Drinking."
