Today is one of those days... :cry:

Bill Withers...

Aint no sunshine when shes gone
Its not warm when shes away
Aint no sunshine when shes gone
And shes always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where shes gone
Wonder if shes gonna stay
Aint no sunshine when shes gone
And this house just aint no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know...
Aint no sunshine when shes gone
Aint no sunshine when shes gone
Only darkness everyday
Aint no sunshine when shes gone
And this house just aint no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away....



Please shine again tomorrow :cry::(
 
Fairly new song by Kelly Clarkson and I'm enjoying it immensely. It matches what I'm feeling these days so perfectly. Everyone should give it a listen, even if it isn't their usual preference. It isn't mine either, but I still love it.

"What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)"

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

[2x]
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
 
Was just listening to this and thought some of you may enjoy it.

One of my favorite Springsteen songs. IMHO very under played and rated tune for the Tunnel of Love albumn: One Step Up.

Borderline - Sufjan Stevens

Oh there is a house, a wonderful lover, a satisfied hole - hope isn't a word, a sudden said brother. And what do you care? And I'll take the pictures if you stay in bed, I'll run down the park if you put up your head. Don't put up your borderline, don't put up your borderline. Oh there is a house, a wonderful lover, and what do you care? Four or five years ago I wouldn't believe it, I wouldn't receive it - and I'll take the stiches you put in my head - I'll run down the ark, if you put up your head. Don't put up your borderline, don't put up your borderline, borderline, borderline. It feels like I'm going to lose my mind, it feels like I'm going to lose my mind.
 
Anything for love...

And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back.
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way.
And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that,
No I won't do that.

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard,
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end.

And some nights you're breathing fire.
And some nights you're carved in ice.
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again.

And maybe I'm crazy.
Oh it's crazy and it's true.
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning.
As long as the stars are burning.
As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there till the final act.
And I would do anything for love,
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact.

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight.

And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, I won't do that!

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do that.
[x2]

[Solo]
And some days I pray for silence,
And some days I pray for soul,
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll!

And maybe I'm lonely,
That's all I'm qualified to be.
There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning.
As long as the fires are burning.
As long as your prayers are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And you know it's true and that's a fact.
I would do anything for love,
And there'll never be no turning back.

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long.
And I would do anything for love,
Oh, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, no, no, I won't do.....

I would do anything for love.
Anything you've been dreaming of.
But I just won't do that!
[x3]

But I'll never stop dreaming of you,
Every night of my life.
No way.

And I would do anything for love.
But I won't do that.
No I won't do that.


[Girl]
Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this God forsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

[Boy]
I can do that. Oh I can do that.

[Girl]
Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot? Hot!
Will you take me places I've never known?

[Boy]
Now I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!

[Girl]
After awhile you'll forget everything.
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling,
And you'll see that it's time to move on.

[Boy]
I won't do that. I won't do that.

[Girl}
I know the territory, I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and will all fall down,
Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around.

[Boy]
I won't do that. No, I won't do that.

Anything for love,
Oh, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, I won't do that.



Sung by Meatloaf, with Bonnie Tyler. Written by Jim Steinman
 
No Light - Florence And The Machine

You are the hole in my head, you are the night-time fear, you are the morning when it's clear. When it's over your start, you're my head - you're my heart. No light, no light, in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent. Revelations in the light of day, you can choose what stays and what fades away - and I'd do anything to make you stay. No light - no light - no light, tell me what you want me to say. Tell me what you want me to say, but would you leave me, if I told you what I've done. And would you leave me, if I told you what I've become. 'Cause it's so easy, to sing it to a crowd - but it's so hard, my love, to say it to you, all alone. No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent! A revelation in the light of day, you can choose what stays and what fades away - and I'd do anything to make you stay. You are the revelation, you are the revelation, you are to get it right. But, it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight, you are the revelation, some kind of resolution, tell me what you want me to say.

Simon & Alisha Forever - Vince Pope

(Instrumental)
 
I'm just guessing this song by Katy Perry is about her recent divorce, but honestly I think it applies to anyone who breaks down the people they're supposed to love. To me this song is such a great song to empower yourself. The lyrics are really simple, but poignant.

"Part Of Me"
Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus]

Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I’m glowin’ oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah
Except for me

[Chorus]

This is the part of me
No
Away from me
No
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me...
No
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
 
You all took my songs already. :)

Blue October is a great band. They should rename themselves to Catharsis because that is what they are to many of their fans. The Foiled album is probably the most accessible for newbies.

Blue October -- Black Orchid

. . .maybe life isn't for everyone. (depressing lyric by itself, but in the context of the song, it is actually a positive for me.)

Psychedelic Furs -- Heartbreak Beat

. . .and the world don't stop. . .every time that you fall.

Love and Rockets -- A Private Future

Live the life you love
Use the god you trust
And don't take it all too seriously.
