Songs You Relate To

[Queen Boudica]

Last verse - says it all:

Once upon a daydream - Police

Once upon a daydream
I fell in love with you
Once upon a moonbeam
I gave that love to you
Once upon a lifetime
I know it must be true
When the months had turned us
I'd have to marry you

Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for tenderness

Once her daddy found out
He threw her to the floor
He killed her unborn baby
And kicked me from the door
Once upon a nightmare
I bought myself a gun
I blew her daddy's brains out
Now hell has just begun

Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for sentiment

Once upon a lifetime
A lifetime filled with tears
The boy would pay for his crime
With all his natural years
Once upon a daydream
He'd make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He'd dream his life away

Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for miracles

Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day... dream

Once upon a daydream - Police

They are very powerful lyrics Lizio, I like them. I'll give that a listen to soon.

The song below has been stuck in my head for days, but I really like it. It has a sample from the song Echo Beach in it (very catchy song), and I love the lyrics too.
MPHO - Box n Locks
Hanging round like I did, crazy little mixed up kid,
Trying to figure all the sounds in my head go round and round.
Said that you can't please them all, but there ain't no harm in trying -
Can't help myself, it's just the girl in me.

So, sorry but I didn't know,
That I fit in the box, and all the locks are supposed to be unbreakable,
Unbreakable. I bet ya never knew that I could do this too.
I bet ya never knew that I could do this too...

I'm not trying to steal your thunder, I'm just trying to quell this hunger:
All of me satisfied. At least I tried.
At least I tried.

Lizio reminding me of the Police ("Message in a Bottle" is my favourite, by far), made me think of this one by them:

De do do do, de da da da
Poets, priests and poiticians
Have words to thank for their positions.
Words that scream for your submission,
And no one's jamming their transmission.
When their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you.

De do do do, de da da da,
Is all I want to say to you.
De do do do, de da da da.
Their innocence will pull me through.
De do do do, de da da da,
Is all I want to say to you.
De do do do, de da da da.
They're meaningless and all that's true.

 

[Queen Boudica]

They are very powerful lyrics Lizio, I like them. I'll give that a listen to soon.

Oh the music is really powerful too, sting really does a good job of relaying those haunting words. It is one of my favourites, but I like disturbing songs. I really like Every breathe you take too. This is another one from the police that is one of my favourites:

Does Everyone Stare - Police

I change my clothes ten times
Before I take you on a date
I'm in a cold sweat, my panic it makes me late
I know you never entered for this
I know
My shots will always miss
My shots will always miss

Does everyone stare this way at you?
I only look this way at you

I change my clothes ten times
Before I take you on a date
I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late
I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone
I let it ring twice before
I chicken out and decide you're not at home

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

I never noticed the size of my feet
'Til I kicked you in the shins
Will you ever forgive me for the shape I'm in
For the shape I'm in

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start
I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart
Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this
I can see I'm not your type and my shots will always miss, always miss

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

Oh and this one is a beauty:

On Any Other Day:

You want something corny?
You got it

There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it
There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it
And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay

Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be OK on any other day
And it would be OK on any other day

Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me
The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be OK on any other day
And it would be OK on any other day
And it would be OK on any other day

 

[Whitneys story]

Wow, I love this thread! I have been really missing the music in my life!

Keep them coming! Thanks for reminding me of the healing of music! Hugs, Whitney

 

[Loveneverfails]

"Light Years Away"- MoZella

It's almost like you had it planned
It's like you smiled and shook my hand and said
"Hey, I'm about to screw you over, big time"
And what was I supposed to do?
I was stuck in between you and a hard place
We won't talk about the hard place

But I don't blame you anymore
That's too much pain to store
It left me half dead
Inside my head
And boy, looking back I see
I'm not the girl I used to be
When I lost my mind
It saved my life

It's how you wanted it to be
It's like you played a joke on me
And I lost a friend
In the end
And I think that I cried for days
But now that seems light years away
And I'm never going back
To who I was

Cause I don't blame you anymore
That's too much pain to store
It left me half dead
Inside my head
And boy, looking back I see
I'm not the girl I used to be
When I lost my mind
It saved my life

I think that I cried for days
But now that seems light years away
And I'm never going back
To who I was

Cause I don't blame you anymore
That's too much pain to store
It left me half dead
Inside my head
And boy, looking back I see
I'm not the girl I used to be
When I lost my mind
It saved my life

That life seems like light years away
Light years away
And that life seems like light years away
Light years away

 

[Queen Boudica]

Oh I love that one Loveneverfails. Amazingly poignant lyrics. I so wish I could get to that point: "that life seems like life years away." That is something to hope for.

 

[littlelostchild]

I love the poetry that is music.

Mmmm.

 

[rainy_daze]

I discovered this song yesterday, and it's one of those songs that hits you in your heart. It's simple, sad and beautiful. It moved me very much, so I thought I would post all the lyrics here.

Ellie Goulding - Dead in the water

If I was not myself, and you were someone else,
I'd say so much to you,
And I would tell the truth.
'Cause I can hardly breathe.
When your hands let go of me.
The ice is thinning out
And my feet brace themselves.

I'm there in the water.
Still looking for ya.
I'm there in the water,
Can't you see, can't you see?

You've seen this all before: Life left on the shore.
We're smiling all the same.
You sail away again.

I'm there in the water - Still looking for ya.
I'm there in the water. Can't you see, can't you see?

Oh, yeah, I'm dead in the water -
Still looking for ya.
I'm dead in the water.
Can't you see, can't you see?
I'm dead in the water, still looking for ya.
I'm dead in the water:
Can't you see, can't you see?

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

That's Why I'm here by Kenny Chesney

Well I ain't had nothin' to drink
I knew that's probably what you'd think
If I'd drop by this time of night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
At one of those meetings down at the "Y"

They started talkin' about steps you take
Mistakes you make the hearts you break
And the price you pay
I almost walked away

You could hear a pin drop
When this old man
Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again
Like I do every week
For those who don't know me

It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a lovin' wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yeah I've been there
That's why I'm here

This old boy stood up in the isle
Said he'd been livin' a life of denial
Then he cried, as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't believe what I heard
It was my life word for word
And all of the sudden, it was clear

It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a lovin' wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yeah I've been there
That's why I'm here

I know for us it may be too late
But it would mean the world to me
If you were there when I stand to say

It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a lovin' wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yeah I've been there
That's why I'm here

OOH, I've been there
That's why I'm here

 

[DanceAwayPain]

Lupe Fiasco-Battle Scars

These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle

(And just leave then)
You shouldn't have but you said it
(And I hope you never come back)
It shouldn't have happened but you let it
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Shields, body armors and vests
Don't properly work, that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
The best medicine is to probably just let her win

 

[zaniara]

Sometimes a song, a film, a book can really give me so much strength and hope. Like the film about Tina Turners life. Or like this song.. And the film it's taken from, a Swedish and so strong film(could be triggering for some). The lyrics in this song means so much to me. So I share it, even though the translation is not that good:

(The singer, Helen Sjöholm, is one of the greatest singer I have ever heard!)

And a English version, but this one is not sung by Helen Sjöholm:

I wish you all a good day and don't ever give up hope on your self and the power in the life-force in you!
