Songs You Relate To

[Crunch]

Biffy clyro the conversation is...

"Are pills the only way to make myself complete again
They become the only way to a wonderful life with a happy ending"

Very fitting for how I feel at the moment:(

 

[Ocean5]

More poetry, spoken word, than song.

"Dance, Monkeys, Dance"

 

[NoWhereKnowWhere]

Alice in chains - them bones
"Toll due bad dreams come true
I lie dead gone under red sky"

The smiths - big mouth strikes again
"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head."

Jeff Buckley - Grace
"
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow"

 

[NoWhereKnowWhere]

This ones quite appropriate for the supporters
Aretha - save me
Those who love always give the most;
We're cryin' together from coast to coast...
Love leaves us cold and hurt inside,
These tears of ours, unjustified...

Policy or Truth by Depech Mode.

As a teenager Depeche Mode's album "Songs of Faith and Devotion" was my CD of choice. Then songs from album Violator. It's like they understood me.

Now as an adult. Disowned "twice" by same parent for my policy of truth because of who I loved (even though father is a rapist, murder, child abuser, & tried to committee suicide several times by "suicide by cops." Yet he judges me?)

Yet I look at my songs I relate to - so many are about keeping secrets. How I was raised. Everything must be secret.

Very hard few days lately. When I went very far away for college to feel "safe" for first time in my life, I asked my mom's permission. I already had scholarships. I played her this song before asking. I didn't want to leave her in a small town with the monster that was my father.

She was a great mother. She cried, but wanted me to escape. Never to look back.....

Events after her passing have revealed to me the the true hardship, torture, and pain she went through from my father even though they were divorced. Now I understand her tears where those of happiness - to see me escape.

Much of my youth my mind won't let me remember to protect me.

Love you always Mom. Thanks for believing in me. I am so sorry for all you went through...

Don't let video confuse you - I'm a guy.

Cool Water
Hank Williams Sr.

All day I face the barren waste
Without the taste of water.

Cool water.

Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry, and souls that cry, for water.

Cool, clear, water.

The nights are cool and I'm a fool. Each star's a pool of water.

Cool, clear, water.

And with the dawn, I'll wake and yawn, then carry on. To water.

Cool, clear, water.

The shadows sway and seem to say, tonight we pray for water.

Cool, clear, water.

And way up there, he'll hear our prayer, and show us where there's water.

Cool, clear, water.

Keep a movin' Dan. Don't you listen to him Dan. He's the devil, not a man. He spreads the burning sand with water.
Say, Dan can't you see, that big green tree, where the waters running free?

It's waiting there for you and me.

And water. Cool, clear, water.

Dan's feet are sore. He's yearning for, just one thing more than water.

Cool, clear, water.

Like me I guess, he likes to rest, where there's no quest. For water.

Cool, clear, water.

I am very lonely tonight and this song really sums it up for me...

Dear Simon,

The Neighbourhood
"Honest"

Patience
Test my patience
If I made it too hard for you
Maybe you should have changed it

Change it
You should change it
'Cause I'd say I was wrong just to make it
Fill all the spaces

Waiting
Always waiting
If I gave you control would you say that
We could have saved it

I hope you find a way
To be yourself someday
In weakness or in strength
Change can be amazing
So I pray for the best
I pray for the best for you

I wish you could be honest
I wish you could be honest with me
I wish you could be honest
I wish you could be honest with me

Chasing
Always chasing dreams
Why'd you stick around
Why'd you stay with me
Why'd you fake it

Hesitation is killing me too
But I couldn't save it
I couldn't save it

I hope you find a way
To be yourself someday
In weakness or in strength
Change can be amazing
So I pray for the best
I pray for the best for you

I wish you could be honest with me
I wish you could be honest with me

With love,
-B

Jewel- Near You Always

And when you look in my eyes,
Please know my heart is in your hands.
It's nothing that I understand,
But in your arms you have complete power over me.
So be gently if you please.
