Songs You Relate To

[Carlos Menem]

Depeche Mode - Precious

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

 

[Chincho]

Million Years Ago - Adele

I only wanted to have fun
Learning to fly learning to run
I let my heart decide the way
When I was young
Deep down I must have always known
That this would be inevitable
To earn my stripes I'd have to pay
And bare my soul

I know I'm not the only one
Who regrets the things they've done
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
Who can't stand the reflection that they see
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air I miss my friends
I miss my mother I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago

When I walk around all of the streets
Where I grew up and found my feet
They can't look me in the eye
It's like they're scared of me
I try to think of things to say
Like a joke or a memory
But they don't recognise me now
In the light of day

I know I'm not the only one
Who regrets the things they've done
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
Who never became who they thought they'd be
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air I miss my friends
I miss my mother I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago
A million years ago

45 by shinedown
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

 

[Neverthesame]

Another 45 Miles
Golden Earring

Here comes the night
The veil over the light
In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky. I've got to get home to my child, my wife.
Here comes the night.
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride.
Looks like the road is swallowing me up.
Gotta hurry home.
Don't dare to look back.
Blueville is straight ahead.

Another 45 miles to go.
Another 45 miles before I'm home.
I wish sunlight was burning in my eyes
Instead of shades black faces in the sky.
Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home.
I wish I could pay the sun to run.
Then I had some more time with my wife, my son.

Clouds in the sky.
Gathering for the fight.
Chasing the prey till it can't go on.
I mend my pace cos' my bride is waiting home.
Here comes the night.
I'm scared to death, gotta get me a ride.
Looks like the road is swallowing me up.
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back.
Blueville is straight ahead.

Another 45 miles to go.
Another 45 miles before I'm home.
I wish sunlight was burning in my eyes, instead of shades black faces in the sky.
Another 45 miles to go.
Another 45 miles before I'm home.
I wish I could pay the sun to run.
Then I had some more time with my wife, my son.

Another 45 miles to go.
Another 45 miles before I'm home.
I wish sunlight was burning in my eyes.
Instead of shades black faces in the sky.
Another 45 miles to go.

Metallica! Unforgiven

Throughout his life the same –
He's battled constantly.
This fight he cannot win –
A tired man they see no longer cares.

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Long Shadow

Well I'll tell you one thing that I know
You don't face your demons down
You gotta grapple 'em Jack and pin 'em to the ground
The devil may care, maybe god he won't
You better make sure you check on the do's and the don'ts

Crawl up a mountain
To reach where the eagles fly
To show you can glimpse from the mountian top
Where the soul of the muse might ride

And if you put it all together
You won't have to look around
You know you cast a long shadow on the ground

Then one day I could tell my tracks
About the holes in the soles of my shoes
And that's the day I said I'm gonna make the news

And fallen back in the garden
The days so long ago
Somewhere in the memory
The sun shines on you boy

And playing in the Arroyo's
Where the American rivers flow
From the Appalachians
Down to the Delta Roads

A man can think so long
His brain could well explode
The strings runnin' through the junctions
A king comes down the road

And if you put it all together
You won't have to look around
You know you cast a long shadow on the ground

Listen to the country
The night jar and the bell
Listen to the night stream lineup
Soundin' like the wolves of hell

Head for the water
The waters of the cleansing spell
It was always our destination
On the express of the never do wells

And we rocked through Madison's city
And we didn't even know she was there
And when we hit the bumpers in Memphis
Beale street didn't have no prayer

And I hear punks talk of anarchy
I hear hobo's on the railroads
I hear mutterings on the chain gangs
It was those men who built the roads

And if you put it all together
You didn't even once relent
You cast a long shadow
And that is your testament

Somewhere in my soul
There's always rock and roll
Yeah!

River - Leon Bridges

There's blood on my hands,
And my lips are unclean

In my darkness I remember,
Mama's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord,
He'll wipe your slate clean."

Haunting melody that I love, mostly, but also have a constant feeling of guilt and hope for redemption.

 

[Changing4Best]

This is not a song, but I thought some of you might find it very healing and pleasant. I also like the saying on its cover:

Simple Plan

"Don't Wanna Think About You"

Can you leave me here alone now
I don't wanna hear you say
That you know me
That I should be
Always doin what you say

Cuz I'm tryin to get through today
And there's one thing I know

I don't wanna think about you
Think about me
Don't wanna figure this out
I Don't wanna think about you
Or think about nothin
Don't wanna talk this one out
I won't let you bring me down
Cuz I know
I don't wanna think about you

Don't wanna think about you

When I wake up here tomorrow
Things will never be the same
Cuz I won't wait
Cuz you won't change
And you'll always be this way

Now I'm gonna get through today
And there's one thing I know

I don't wanna think about you
Think about me
Don't wanna figure this out
I don't wanna think about you
Or think about nothin
Don't wanna talk this one out
This time I won't let you bring me down
Won't let you shut me out
This time I know
I don't wanna think about you

Run away
Run away
Running as fast as I can
Run away
Run away
I'll never come back again
Run away
Run away

Don't wanna think about you
Think about me
Don't wanna figure this out
Don't wanna think about you
Think about me
Don't wanna talk this one out

I don't wanna think about you
Think about me
Don't wanna figure this out (figure this out)
I don't wanna think about you
Or think about nothin
Don't wanna talk this one out
This time I won't let you bring me down (bring me down)
Won't let you shut me out (shut me out)
This time I know
I don't wanna think about you

Run away
Run away
I don't wanna think about you
Run away
Run away
I don't wanna think about you
Run away
Run away
I don't wanna think about you
