Supertramp - the logical song

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

havent been to this thread for a while.

my science hype song!

Portal Still Alive
This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
Huge success!

It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must
because we can
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
'til you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.

I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart,
and killed me.

And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burnedit hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now, these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time!
So I'm GLaD I got burned!
Think of all the things we learned!
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me...
I think I'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
MaybeBlack Mesa?
That was a joke. Ha Ha. Fat Chance!

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still talking
when there's science to do!
When I look out there,
it makes me glad I'm not you.

I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive.
And believe me I am
still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm
still alive.
I feel fantastic and I'm
still alive.
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.
And when you're dead I will be
still alive

Blake Shelton
- It Ain't Easy Being Me

Ought to be a sideshow for freaks like me
Yeah, I could be the star of the show
With my name on the marquee.
In a room with a big red button
That says "Danger, do not touch"
Twice a day I'd mash it down
And you can watch me self destruct.

Pink Floyd
The Gunner!s Dream

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
What's more no one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue
Kicking down your door.

You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes
In bands men by remote control.
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore.

In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done

We cannot just write off this final scene.
Take heed of the dream.

Wouldn't it be nice if this became reality world wide. A much safer, nicer world.

"ローリンガール" (Rolling Girl) by wowaka
(Translated and transliterated by Hikarin96solas)

The rolling girl is but a mere shadow of who she once was, unable to reach the color on the other side
The overlapping voices mixing, mixing with each other.

"There's no problem." the words she muttered were lost.
How can she possibly turn out fine when
The hilly roads entice her and cause her to make mistakes.

One more time, one more time.
Please let me roll
The girl says, the girl says
While silently repeating her meanings!

"Are you all right now?"
"In just a little longer, we might be able to see something very soon. I'll stop breathing right now."

One more time, one more time.
"I'll roll today too."
The girl says, the girl says
While playing on words with a smile!

"Are you all right now? It's okay. You gradually became tired of it too, right?" We'll hold our breath, right now.

(( This is one of those songs where some things are lost in translation, mostly plays on words and the like. So if you know Japanese or feel like doing research, I'd look into the lyrics in Japanese. And if you want to hear other people cover this song in English, perhaps try zoozbuh or JubyPhonic. ))

Passenger- All the little lights

We're born with millions of little lights shining in our hearts-
they burn out along the way.
One lights up every time we feel love in the dark.
One dies when it moves away.

 

[mary1979]

Love this thread!
Music speaks to the heart, I think for pretty much everyone

ALL APOLOGIES- NIRVANA

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua sea foam shame
Sun burn and freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy


And recently I've fallen back in love with the haunted echos in the old song
SOUND OF SILENCE- remade by DISTURBED , its chilling , the old Simon and garfunkel version for some reason was always more soothing.

Well hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seed while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the sound of silence

<3

Primal Scream - Rocks

Creeps a keep crawling, drunks a keep falling
Teasers keep a-teasing, holy Joes are preaching
Cops just keep busting, hustlers keep a-hustling
Death just keeps knocking, souls are up for auction

Ain't no use in praying that's the way it's staying baby

Van iz grada (Away from the town) Belfast Food and Mile Kekin

Teska zaraza
srce mi ne tuce
vise nisam sto
sam bio nekada

Dva, tri poraza
i dorucak od juce
jos jedan razlog
da se malo odluta

Sakrila si lice
da me ne bi gledala
kako plazim preko
tvojih carapa

Vani me ceka stocni
vagon, vlak sto nema
sjedala, idem na
dozivotnu pasu jedina

Ref.
Bjezim, odlazim
van iz ovog grada
stavljam copyright
na mucna sjecanja

Dosta je zauvijek
izlazim iz stada
nek' me tjese
hladne pive sjevera

Voljela si let u dvoje
i slobodan pad
vazno je bilo samo
pasti na tvoj dok

I kad bi pomaknuli nesto
kad bi pobjegli u hlad
i to sto vrijedi
krenulo bi nizbrdo

I ne znam da li je
istina u pivi al'
ta se piva davno
tocit prestala

S tobom il' bez tebe
dani su mi sivi
stvarno ne znam gdje
je boja nestala

Ref. 3x

Nek' me tjese
hladne pive sjevera
ma nek' me tjese
hladne pive sjevera

Spoiler: Translation

Serious infection
My heart is not beating
I'm no longer
What I was before

Two, three beatdowns
And breakfast from yesterday
Just another reason
To wander off a bit

You hid your face
To not look at me
As I'm crawling over
Your socks

Outside is the cattle
Vagon, train without
Seats, I'm going to
The evergraze my only

Running, going away
Out of this town
Putting copyright
Onto agonizing memories

It's enough for ever
Leaving the herd
May I be comforted by
The cold beers of North

You liked the flight in two
And free fall
All that matter was
To fall on your dock

And when we moved something
When we ran to the shades
All that matters
Just spiraled down

And I don't know if
There is truth in beer
But that beer has been
Off tap for long

With or without you
My days are just gray
I really don't know
Where the color went

Shall they comfort me
The cold Northern beers
Shall they console me
Cold northern beer

The Clash - Garageland

Back in the garage with my bullshit detector
Carbon monoxide making sure it's effective
People ringing up making offers for my life
But I just wanna stay in the garage all night

We're a garage band
We come from garageland

Meanwhile things are hotting up in the West End alright
Contracts in the offices, groups in the night
My bummin' slummin' friends have all got new boots
An' someone just asked me if the group would wear suits

I don't wanna hear about what the rich are doing
I don't wanna go to where the rich are going
They think they're so clever, they think they're so right
But the truth is only known by guttersnipes

There's twenty-two singers! But one microphone
Back in the garage
There's five guitar players! But one guitar
Back in the garage
Complaints! Complaints! Wot an old bag
Back in the garage
All night

R. I. P Joe Strummer

Love this idea.

I'm riding on a huge amount of anger today, so both of the songs I'm feeling right now...

Slipknot: Left Behind

I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
Don't even try it! You had be a liar just to
Infiltrate me I'm still drowning

(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

Sister by Andrew Belle

"You were like a feather
Never land where we thought you would
Or anywhere close to it
Who would have thought you never would";

And

"So tell me what happens
When the waves break
And you’re surrounded
He tries to kill you
And you allow it".

 

[UnKnown-Self]

I am working on a lyric video for this song. I have my interpretive words rolling with the lyrics and my background image. The timing has been a problem working with PowerPoint. I think my computer stalls a half second enough to keep throwing the timing off. If anyone knows a free online ( so I don't have to download it on my old comp.) I won't get a new comp for a while. It's important to me. Any suggestions would be very welcomed and appreciated.


I Remember Me - Jennifer Hudson

I remember me, staring at myself
See these same two eyes, see these same two feet
I remember you, You who I used to be
You still look the same, but you don't hurt like me
Look at my reflection, somewhere my affection
Disappeared,isn't here, nothing left to say
Memories they fading, but I'm the one who makes them
But i keep the love close to enough to say
What if this life is all that we're given
We just can't stop living, scared of what we see
Cuz in this world, anything can hurt you
They push you, then forget you
Stole my history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
I tell you what my name is
And ain't nothing gon' change it
Cuz what you are is what you are
Even if your memory's flawed
I go to places, trying to find familiar faces
They don't show, but I still know
They don't have to look for me
I dream about, I dream about
The place where all the broken pieces fit together
Cuz in this world, anything can hurt you
They push you, then forget you
And stole my history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
Now all that's left of these hands, this breathe
I've said goodbye to so many things that tears wont cry
And i take this pain, This joy, and rain
Cuz all that matters now is
In this life anything can hurt you
Push you, then forget you
Erase your history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
I remember me, oh woah
I remember me, I tell you what my name
I tell you what me name is
Do or die
