When you hear a song, do you ever say "Yep, that's me!"

What Song Best Describes You?




Me? "All Star" by Smashmouth




rabbit

WOW! This is a tough (but really good) one rabbit! I'll have to think about this......and pay more attention when I'm listening to the radio today!

BBS!

This is one I was listening to over and over last night...among the others I posted. Might not describe me exactly...but the feel of the song is all me.


Crazy~Pat Green

Saw you early this morning
Sleeping all dressed in white
For a moment I thought you were an angel
Come to take me home alive

You woke up and you caught me staring
You smiled and said fool cut it out
You said that I must be crazy
I said crazy about you and I kissed you on the mouth

If I am truly crazy
Don't you knjow I like my life that way
And if I'm really going on out of my mind
Won't you hop on board and make your getaway

Took a walk down by the seashore
Saw a poor man picking up some cans
Saw a little boy who had some saltwater in his eyes
Reaching out for his mama's hands

Then I watched a stranger give that man a dollar
Watched a mama wiping tears from her little boy's eyes
Then I stared up into the heavens
Said oh my god I'm glad that I'm alive, so glad that I'm alive

If I am truly crazy
Don't you know I like my life that way
And If I'm really going on out of my mind
Won't you hop on board and make your getaway

Wake up in the morning we turn all the lights on
Turn 'em out at night so that we can hide
Sometimes I sleep with all the lights on
It helps me to appreciate the night

You hear people talk about life all the time
And all they remember are times so sad
Don't you think that life would be awfully boring
If the good times were all that we had

Bitch by Meredith Brooks

I hate the world today
You're so good to me, I know
but I can't change
Tried to tell you but you looked at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath
innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell
I'm you dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing............

I believe that this describes me and my feelings pretty well.....

*looks around* ...'Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta', Ghetto Boys.

On days I'm not fully up to par ... I always hear the lines from fire and rain by James Taylor .... "My body's aching and my time is at hand, just can't make it through another day...." not sure about the rest of the time ... like Lixy, I'll have to think about it! :)

Change the male nouns to female ones, and this is me:
Everclear
Father Of Mine

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
When I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away
I remember the blue skies, walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would take me to the beach
Take me to a place inside that is so hard to reach
Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
You had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life and you don't see me
I was ten years old
Doing all that i could
It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
I never understood you then and I guess I never will
Daddy gave me a name
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad gave me a name
Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared
Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now I am a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear I'm not going to let her know
All the pain I have known
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad gave me a name
Then he walked away

This is so hard because music is so important to me. I don't feel I could do this question justice. Besides, this time last year or LESS, I would likely have gave a different answer, and likely will this time next year.

Right now I'd say:

The Child is Gone~Fiona Apple

OK.........
 

I've been thinking hard about this and finally had to ask my husband what he thought would be the best song to describe me. This is what HE said........



(Rod Stewart)

I didn't know what day it was
when you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
the attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
that in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
but my heart cried out for you

Chorus:

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend

You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me

(Chorus)

You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found

(Chorus)





I'll get back to you on what I think............

This is the only one I can relate to...
 

That I think....."YEP".....when I hear it........



Aerosmith - Dream On


Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life is in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
(x2)

Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on...

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

King Nothing

Metallica

Just the title says it all:)

So What- by Miles Davis:rolleyes:

Is there an instrumental called Still Waters Run Deep? I know Brook Benton sings a song called Still Waters Run Deep, but I'm not thinking of his song. Just the title describes me, I think.

All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down by Hank Williams Jr.

At least that is the song of the day for me :)

"Tease Me, Please Me" by Scorpions

Desribes my mood alot :multi:


I never wasted any time
Never missed a beat
Total satisfaction
Always guaranteed


Tease me
Please me
No one needs to know
Tease me
Please me
Before I have to go
Tease me
Please me
We'll take it nice and slow
Tease me
Please me
Just let the feeling grow

Redneck Girl ~~ The Bellamy Brothers

I hate to admit it, but yes ... I do have my name on the back of my belt. ;)

*continues like he never paused for a second*

...but when i get the Lincoln restored, the only thing that'll play in that car is 'The Boss' by James Brown on a continuous loop. yay-uh...

when I am feeling safe,content and at peace~~~"SONGBIRD"~~~~Fleetwood Mac (had it played at my wedding 10yrs ago!~~~~~~but still can relate the words to my present situation)~~~~~it echoes how I feel about the people who are important to me~~~~~

Well mine would be Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you cuz I know that you feel me somehow
Your the closes to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't wanna go home right now

and all I can taste is this moment and all I can breath is your life, though sooner or later it's over , I just don't wanna miss you tonight

and I don't want the world to see me cuz I don't think that they'd understand, when everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

and you can't fight the tears that aren't coming , or the moment of truth in your lies, when everthing feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know your alive

and I don't want the world to see me cuz I don't think that they'd understand, when everthings's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am

Whenever I have heard this song, for years now, it's made me feel good. Now it means more than ever and it's how I've felt for a long time.

Blessed, Elton John

Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed

I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed

And of course this one....... :o ;)

Artist: Genitortures
Song: Touch Myself

I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down, I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
Forget myself, I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I touch myself

You close your eyes and see me before you
Think you would die if I were to ignore you
A fool could see just how much you adore me
Get down on your knees and do anything for me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I don't want anybody else

I'm the one who makes you come runnin
Gets you comin all the time
When I'm around, you're always beggin
I wanna make you mine

I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down, I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
Forget myself, I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I don't want anybody else

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I touch myself

The only one that comes to mind right now....
Sunday Kind Of Love
by Reba McEntire



(Barbara Belle/Anita Leonard/Louis Prima/Stan Rhodes)

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know
It's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love

And I want a - a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way

And my arms needs someone to invoke
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life to have and to hold
I want a Sunday kind of love - oh yeah
Yeah, I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday
I don't want nothin' baby
But I want a Sunday kind of love

This is me to a "t" -- and an ex-boyfriend agrees. Well, OK....so it's a bit on the negative side. But I do have it in me. ;)

She's Always A Woman -- Billy Joel
The Stranger Released: 1977


She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to live
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

OMG Imaginewithme! You know the Genitorturers! Lost and I saw them in concert a few Halloweens ago!

I love both versions The Divinyl's and Gen's raunchy dripping with sex voice.

right at this very moment my song would be something about missing Mayhem with a little "Me So Horny" by 2Live Crew peppered in there--It has been FIVE months since I have been with him *sigh*

This one by Staind, in recent years.There are a few from my drinkin' days,but I can't seem to recall any right this moment ;)

"It's Been A While"

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Well... this is rather a negative version of one part of my life, while actually i my perspective is somewhat mealthier!! But none the less, much of it is appropriate.

JAMES BLUNT LYRICS

"Goodbye My Lover"

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

and also... although i suspect this awesome is about race issues, isn't a sentiment we have all felt at times when we have been confronted by injustice?


Labi Siffre Lyrics

Something Inside So Strong Lyrics


The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter, cos there's....

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you
Cos there's......

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway x 4

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway x 4

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Yeah.....here I am...

Right Where I Need to Be by Gary Allan
There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight
Destination New Orleans
Boss man says my big promotion's on the line
He says that's right where I need to be

Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home
All this leavin' her alone is killin' me
And holdin' her right now has got me thinkin' more and more
This is right where I need to be

Where when I hear her I can see her
I can smell her sweet perfume
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep
Where I won't miss her I can kiss her
Anytime that I want to
Yeah that's right where I need to be
Yeah that's right where I need to be

There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight
With an empty first class seat
'Cause I've finally got all my priorities in line
And I'm right where I need to be

Where when I hear her I can see her
I can smell her sweet perfume
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep
Where I won't miss her I can kiss her
Anytime that I want to
Yeah that's right where I need to be
Yeah I'm right where I need to be

Years ago, as I was just beginning to persue a career in music, there was a song called, "Rock n Roll, I gave you all the Best Years of My Life"...I hated it hated it hated it, but an almost gf told me she thought of me every time she heard it...nowadays, I think that she may well have nailed it way back then...

I was in the car the other day and actually paid attention to the songs on the radio and this one came on......it was me to a T!!!!!!!!!!!




Size Matters by Joe Nichols

Someday she wants a big ol' house sittin' on a big ol' hill,
And a mile long tree lined driveway for her big ol' Coupe DeVille.
Yeah, someday she wants a big ol' bank account with too much to spend,
But right now all she wants is a man.

With a big ol' heart, who can love her like nobody can.
Big ol' kisses that go on and on and never end.
With a big ol' smile, he'll fill her world with laughter:
Size matters; size matters.

Someday, she wants a big ol' ring with a big ol' rock that shines,
And a big ol' walk-in closet with shoes of every kind.
Yeah, someday she wants a big ol' boat where she can lay around gettin' a tan,
But right now all she wants is a man.

With a big ol' heart, who can love her like nobody can.
Big ol' kisses that go on and on an' never end.
With a big ol' smile, he'll fill her world with laughter:
Size matters; size matters.

With a big ol' heart, who can love her like nobody can.
Big ol' kisses that go on and on an' never end.
With a big ol' smile, he'll fill her world with laughter:
Size matters; size matters.
Size matters.

Anxious to hear what some of our newer members feel is their theme song.

Not necessarily my theme song but I've been known to sing this one at times when I've had a few to many. :p

"Monster" ~~ B-52's

I saw it officer,
it looked prehistoric ...

There's a monster in my pants
And it does a nasty dance
When it moves in and out
Everybody starts to shout

Monster, aaaah monster, aaaah
Get outta here monster!
Monster! Monster!
Get outta here monster!

There's a monster in my pants
And It does a nasty dance
When it sees the light of day
You can here the people say

Oh no, a monster! Oh no, a monster!
Oh no, oh no, oh no a giant monster
Monster! Monster!
Oh no, a giant monster!

Shut the window, bolt the door!
Don't wanna see that monster no more!

There's a monster in my pants
And it does a modern dance
When it comes into a room
People hit it with a broom

Take that monster! Take that monster!
Take it! Take it! Take that you awful thing!
Take that aaah! Take that aaah!
Take it! Take it! Take that you naughty thing!

And they don't wear pants on the other side of France
But they do wear fleece to protect them from the beasts

Monster! Monster! Oh gee, a great big monster

There's a monster on the run and it wants to have have some fun
When it flies hup in the air, all the people stop and stare
The guys give a yell and the girls start to shriek
When they see its giant claws and it razor sharp beak

Gosh would you look at that thing
And I thought dinosaurs were extinct

Aaaaah!

Naughty Little Girl ~ Robin Barrett

She's a naughty little girl and she knows it,
and I like it that way
She's a naughty little girl and she knows it,
and I like it that way
She's sugar and she's spice
But when it comes to lovin'
she's not that nice!
She's a naughty little girl and she knows it, and I like it that way

She's a naughty little girl and she knows it, and I like it that way
She's a naughty little girl and she knows it, and I like it that way
In a velcro mini and her six inch pumps
She got to get the looks
from all them chumps
She's a naughty little girl and she knows it,
and I like it that way

I couldn't think of one then and I still can't.

I haven't been a peepr for long. That makes me a newer member, not that my older member aint too well worn for more abuse to enjoy.

Mh. . Mh. . ahem hmmm!

OK, I've enjoyed many theme song incarnations and many endure for me. Few rise to top another. My heart to grow, love, recall, pound ever again every morning confounds me. That could be part of what keeps me up all night. Even so Here's a couple that I feel show a crowning end effect and ring true for a life spent.

This one tells the story. No explanation needed

SEALS and CROFT / KING of NOTHING
When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king and
Having everything I wanted
But that was long ago and
My dreams did not unfold so
I`m still the king of nothing

When I was seventeen I dreamed I gave a ring to
A pretty queen and then I held her
But that was slumber`s fault for
I have no love at all and
I`m still the king of nothimg

If I could rule I`d dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn`t have to listen to this poor fool say
I`m the king
I`m the king
I`m the king of nothing

[break]

If I could rule I`d dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn`t have to listen to this poor fool say
I`m the king
I`m the king
I`m the king of nothing

This Diamond Ring
Forty three years ago it was an exceptionally popular song.
Everything in the song today has different meanings;

The ring - my life,
Took it off her finger - Ambition and drive to excel evades me,
It doesn't shine anymore - my hopes and dreams are history

GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS
This Diamond Ring
Written by Al Kooper, Irwin Levine and Bob Brass

Peak chart position # 1 in 1965


Who wants to bu-u-uy this diamond ri-i-i-ing?
She took it off her finger, now it doesn`t mean a thi-i-i-ng
This diamond ring doesn`t shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn`t mean what it meant before
So if you`ve got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou

This stone is genuine like love should be-e-e-e
And if your baby`s truer than my baby was to me-e-e-e
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won`t have to break like mine did
If there`s love behind it

This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won`t have to break like mine did
If there`s love behind it

This diamond ring doesn`t shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn`t mean what it meant before
FADE
So if you`ve got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou
