Songs You Relate To

[Whitneys story]

I can't believe it. They are redoing it and here is a short clip. It is not as rocked as the 80's cut but I will see what else there is.

@Whitneys story: No problem, I posted on your profile page.

Simon and Garfunkel - "Homeward Bound"

Home, where my thoughts escaping,
Home, where my music's playing,
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend,
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity,
Like emptiness in harmony,
I need someone to comfort me.

Currently, just Gravity by A Perfect Circle. To me, it describes my battle with bipolar and with all the trauma I've had in my life. I'm broken and tired and dizzy with so much inner turmoil, and it crushes me under the gravity of it all, but I still choose to live because I know I have so much to live for.

Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live,
I choose to live,
I choose to live.

(((shoulderblades))) Great lyrics. Even better choice to choose to live and battle it all. In my opinion, it takes a brave person to keep on going and to share what you just shared. Thank you for reminding me of that.

(I may have posted this before, but I can't remember if I have, so here goes. I'm not having the best day, but I know tomorrow is another day. This is my song for the moment.)

Young the Giant - "Cough Syrup"

Life's too short to even care at all.
I'm coming up now, coming up now, out of the blue!
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart.
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun.

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune
That I should have found by now.

And so I run now to the things they said could restore me -
Restore life the way it should be.
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down.

Life's too short to even care at all.
I'm losing my mind
Losing my mind - losing control...
One more spoon of cough syrup now.

(I really couldn't have said it better myself)

 

[Finding Shawna]

heres another one:
Plumb-Damaged

This song is incredible, it gives me chills every time I hear it

 

[Finding Shawna]

It's been a while--Staind
Scars-- Papa Roach
Stupid Girl--Sarah Mclachan

 

[Finding Shawna]

There is a new hard metal version of this song by Season's After, I like this version better

 

[Whitneys story]

Hallejula....
I dedicate this song to everyone. There are so many versions but the music itself is remarkable. I find it to be very healing.

 

[rainy_daze]

I love this thread. My musical knowledge doesn't really expand much these days, so it's nice to find new artists.

Stupid Girl--Sarah Mclachan

I haven't heard her music. I couldn't find Stupid Girl, but I could find a song called Stupid, which I liked, particularly the lines:

"But steady me now, for I am weak and starving for mercy. Sleep has left me alone to carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong".

@Finding Shawna: When you said Stupid Girl, I wondered if she had done of cover of the Garbage song Stupid Girl, which is a great song.

@Whit: I love Hallelujah. I am putting up some Jeff Buckley version lyrics. It's beautiful, and it makes me ache. I haven't listened to it in years, but funny how even the word makes me immediately hear it in my head (tears welling up as I listen to it):

Well baby I've been here before, I've seen this room and I've walked this floor;
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch : And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.....

Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya.
And it's not a cry that you hear at night,
It's not somebody whose seen in the light -
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah...

(And on that note I'm away to bed, without even posting the lyrics I originally logged on to type out... Next time I will.)
