Nickelback - If Everyone Cared
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky Confusing stars for satellites I never dreamed that you'd be mine But here we are, we're here tonight Singing Amen, I, I'm alive Singing Amen, I, I'm alive If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died And I'm singing Amen Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Singing Amen, I, I'm alive Singing Amen, I, I'm alive (I'm alive) And as we lie beneath the stars We realize how small we are If they could love like you and me Imagine what the world could be If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died When nobody died... We'd see the day, we'd see the day When nobody died We'd see the day, we'd see the day When nobody died We'd see the day when nobody died Reason: When I woke up from my little coma adventure - this was playing.

 Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right It's all right

I little while ago I discovered bluegrass gospel on Sirius every Sunday morning. Usually something I hear will stick with me through the week. This week it's Jeff Parker - Two Roads to Travel. Can't find lyrics at the moment, I'll post them later if I can dig 'em up. |

Re: Songs that speak to you
Nice topic.
This one's pretty dark but it's where I'm at right now. Jesus & Mary Chain "Darklands" Im going to the darklands To talk in rhyme With my chaotic soul As sure as life means nothing And all things end in nothing And heaven I think Is too close to hell I want to move I want to go I want to go Oh something wont let me Go to the place Where the darklands are And I awake from dreams To a scary world of screams And heaven I think Is too close to hell I want to move I want to go I want to go Take me to the dark Oh God I get down on my knees And I feel like I could die By the river of disease And I feel that Im dying And Im dying Im down on my knees Oh Im down I want to go I want to stay I want to stay MCS |

Re: Songs that speak to you
The Green Fields of France
speaks to me about the honor and the horror the need for it, the futile-ness of it. Oh how do you do, young Willy McBride Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside And rest for a while in the warm summer sun I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen When you joined the great falling in 1916 Well I hope you died quick And I hope you died clean Or Willy McBride, was is it slow and obscene Did they beat the drums slowly Did they play the fife lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined And though you died back in 1916 To that loyal heart you're forever nineteen Or are you a stranger without even a name Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame Did they beat the drums slowly Did they play the fife lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest The sun shining down on these green fields of France The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance The trenches have vanished long under the plow No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now But here in this graveyard that's still no mans land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man And a whole generation were butchered and damned Did they beat the drums slowly Did they play the fife lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest And I can't help but wonder oh Willy McBride Do all those who lie here know why they died Did you really believe them when they told you the cause Did you really believe that this war would end wars Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame The killing and dying it was all done in vain Oh Willy McBride it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again Did they beat the drums slowly Did they play the fife lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the last post and chorus Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest |

Re: Songs that speak to you
Not Buffett's biggest or best known song by a wide margin, but the one I have always related to the most--Barometer Soup
Follow in my wake You've not that much at stake For I have plowed the seas And smoothed the troubled waters Come along let's have some fun The hard work has been done We'll barrel roll into the sun Just for starters Just for starters Barometer's my soup I'm descended from a deckhand on a sloop I travel on the song lines That only dreamers see Not known for predictability Come and follow in our wake You've not that much at stake For we have plowed the seas And smoothed the troubled waters Come along let's have some fun Seems our work is done We'll barrel roll into the sun Just for starters Sail the main course In a simple sturdy craft Keep her well stocked With short stories and long laughs Go fast enough to get there But slow enough to see Moderation seems to be the key Constantly searchin' Oh my eyes have seen some horizons And I've crossed the ocean for more than just thrills No I'm not the first Won't be the last You lust for the future But treasure the past Follow in my wake You've not as much at stake For I have plowed the seas And smoothed the troubled waters Come along let's have some fun The hard work has been done We'll barrel roll into the sun Just for starters We'll barrel roll into the sun Just for starters We'll barrel roll into the sun Just for starters

Re: Songs that speak to you
This was my wedding song, and it rings true every day. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, my wife is my partner, my best friend, my soulmate, my life.
Somebody by Depeche Mode I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details Someone who'll stand by my side And give me support And in return Shell get my support She will listen to me When I want to speak About the world we live in And life in general Though my views may be wrong They may even be perverted Shell hear me out And wont easily be converted To my way of thinking In fact shell often disagree But at the end of it all She will understand me I want somebody who cares For me passionately With every thought and With every breath Someone who'll help me see things In a different light All the things I detest I will almost like I dont want to be tied To anyones strings I'm carefully trying to steer clear of Those things But when Im asleep I want somebody Who will put their arms around me And kiss me tenderly Though things like this Make me sick In a case like this Ill get away with it |

Re: Songs that speak to you
Have you ever seen the rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Someone told me long ago theres a calm before the storm, I know; its been comin for some time. When its over, so they say, itll rain a sunny day, I know; shinin down like water. I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Comin down on a sunny day? Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard, I know; been that way for all my time. til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow, I know; it cant stop, I wonder. I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Comin down on a sunny day? Yeah! I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Comin down on a sunny day?
