and speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
you are the light
that's leading me
to the place
where I find peace again

that keeps me trusting
you are the life
to my soul
you are my purpose

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this yeah

you calm the storms
and you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
take me deeper now

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

Everything ~ Lifehouse

One from a few years ago I just rediscovered..I just absolutely love this song.

I love that Nickelback tune!

Here's an introspective James Taylor song:

Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning ’round
And I still love you

(chorus)
So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it’s all right
I don’t know no love songs
And I can’t sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When I’m gone

It won’t be long before another day
We gonna have a good time
And no one’s gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like

- chorus -

And a great Joni Mitchell song for those who endure a different sort of love

He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find
I bring him grapes and cheeses
He brings me songs to play
He sees me when he pleases
I see him in cafes
And I only say, hello
And turn away before his lady knows
How much I want to see him
She removes him, like a ring
To wash her hands
She only brings him out to show her friends
I want to free him.
Secrets and sharing soda
That's how our time began
Love is a story told to a friend
It's second hand
But I'll listen to his questions
I'll give my answers when they're found
He says she keeps him guessing
I know she keeps him down
She speaks in sorry sentences
Miraculous repentances
I don't believe her
Tomorrow he will come to me
And speak his sorrow endlessly and ask me why
Why can't I leave her?
He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find.

Steph~ That James Taylor song is the lullabye I always sang to my babies. Thanks for the warm reminders.

I guess you can always sing it with gritted teeth if they won't sleep. Close your damn eyes :jester:

I haven't heard that James Taylor tune in ages, and I dont' think I've ever heard the Joni Mitchel one. Here's another one I've been listening to alot lately.


I've seen you hangin' round
this darkness where I'm bound
and this black hole I've dug for me.
And silently within
with hands touching skin
the shock breaks my disease
and I can breathe..............

And all of your weight
and all you dream
falls on me, it falls on me.
And your beautiful sky
and teh light you bring
falls on me, it falls on me.

Your faith like the pain
draws me in again
she washes all my wounds for me.
The darkness in my veins
I never could explain
and I wonder if you ever see
will you still believe......

And all of your weight
and all you dream
falls on me, it falls on me.
And your beautiful sky
and the light you bring
falls on me, it falls on me.

Am I that strong
to carry on?
I might save my life
I might save our world
Would you save me?


Fuel ~ Falls On Me

Here's a Joni Mitchell one I like....


Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
and I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
but be prepared to bleed"

Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

"Case of You"

Dunno why but this song always provokes some strong emotion ... although not always the same one

Fiona Apple ~ slow like honey

You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn't quite discern me

Does that scare you ? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret, gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder what it is about me

It's my big secret, keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge

And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
'Cause I'm slow like honey, and heavy with mood

Dancingrugger ~ which CD is that from? I'd love to hear that song.

OMG!!!! I've found my theme song!!!

Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep here tight
You don’t wanna sing the blues
In black and white

And it’s hope that spring’s eternal for everyone
If it ain’t broken break it or the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
There’s just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

Violet in the rainbow just melt away
There’s not enough minutes in the hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle that never skips a beat
The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet

And it’s hope that springs eternal for everyone
Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess there’s just no pleasing me
I want to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me

It’ll come in your sweet time, lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
There’s just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lady, lay your love on me

It’ll come in your sweet time, lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

Love Someone ~ Robbie Williams

Carey
~ Joni Mitchell

The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn’t sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here carey
But it’s really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy french cologne

Oh carey get out your cane
And I’ll put on some silver
Oh you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you fine

Come on down to the mermaid cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we’ll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Let’s have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let’s have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town

Come on, carey, get out your cane
I’ll put on some silver
Oh you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you

Maybe I’ll go to amsterdam
Or maybe I’ll go to rome
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers ’round my room
But let’s not talk about fare-thee-welis now
The night is a starry dome.
And they’re playin’ that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the matalla moon

Come on, carey, get out your cane
And I’ll put on some silver
You’re a mean old daddy, but I like you

The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn’t sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
But, it’s really not my home
Maybe it’s been too long a time
Since I was scramblin’ down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
And that fancy french cologne

Oh carey, get out your cane
I’ll put on my finest silver
We’ll go to the mermaid cafe
Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you’re a mean old daddy, but you’re out of sight

Bump...been looking for some new songs to add, didn't wannt have to search for this thread again..lol

Found another song to post and STILL had to look for this thread!..LOL

This was always one of my favorite songs off this CD. Now that it's been released as a single, the radio version is great cause it has an added guitar track.



i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

My Immortal ~ Evanescence

Was watching Shrek today...there's some really great songs in that movie...never realized it before. Here's one....


Rufus Wainwright---Hallelujah


I've heard there was
A secret chord
That David played, and
It pleased the Lord
But you don't really care
For music, do you?
It goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king
Composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong
But you needed proof
You saw her bathing
On the roof
Her beauty and the
Moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne
And she cut your hair
And from your lips
She drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone
Before I knew you
I've seen your flag
On the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and
It's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time
You let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show
It to me, do you?
I remember when
I moved in you
Your holy dark
Was moving too
And every breath we drew
Was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever
Learned from love
Was how to shoot
At someone
Who outdrew you
It's not a cry
You can hear at night
It's not somebody
Who's seen the light
It's a cold and
It's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
