What one song .....?
 
What one song/lyric describes a moment of your life or time of your life?

A while ago at kareoke , someone sang The Needle the Damage Done.

The line, "but every junkie is like the setting sun"....boy....

I guess getting too personal is just not right on a fun board...but that line!

Cool thought Janet...
Let's see. The first things that come to my mind...
I've been dazed and confused for so long it's true.
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. WHICH I feel that our Chris slightly echoes by, And I wish you all the love in the world but most of all I wish it from myself...
AND of course Mr.Sumner, When the world is coming down, you make the best of what's still around.
Also, She tells you she's an orphan, after you've met her family.
OK, I'll REALLY end this by shamelessly showing my 80's upbringing, They whisper promises in the dark.
And of course reiterate my fundamental love of the Fab Four...
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
No one I think is in my tree.
And perhaps the best of all, She loves you, YEAH,YEAH,YEAH.

The entire song "Gypsy" was me graduating Law School and not having a clue what was to become of me. I could not find a job I liked and was breaking up a relationship - I came to the slow realization that I would have to leave my beloved New Orleans.

So I'm back, to the velvet
underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace
and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy
that I was
To the gypsy...
that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

To the gypsy that remains
faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all
that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
(She was just a wish)
(She was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

So - in my head, I changed the she to a he and it was suddenly my life (how dramatic :laugh: )

Also, Outside the Rain was me when I went from like 190 pounds to over 300 pounds and then began the weight loss (which continues to this day :laugh: :mad: ) That whole:

So you're still lonely
You say that it's been forever
Maybe you never knew me -
Maybe you thought that
I'd never change - but
You know I'm changing
- You're wrong -


And it's been like dying -
No love's that hard to find -
And I'm tired of -
I'm tired of trying

was all about that for me :cool:

Finally:

Led Zeppelin's Fool in the Rain:

Well there’s a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can’t wait for the night
I hate to think I’ve been blinded baby
Why can’t I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin’
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I’m shaking so much, really yearning
Why don’t you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it’s all right.

And if you promised you’d love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain’t the first time believe me, baby
I’m standin here feeling blue
Yeah I’m blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I’ll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I’m turning around

The clock on the wall’s moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I’ve got no reason to doubt you baby,
It’s all a terrible mess

I’ll run in the rain till I’m breathless
When I’m breathless I’ll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...

was essentially my high school experience :laugh:

"I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all
that is left for you now"

Yep. :o

estranged4life 12-09-2004 01:06 PM

Hmmm...
 
currently I would say the following lyrics:

"F*ck your power trip and
F*ck your attitude and
F*ck your bloated ego too
F*ck your history, Your tragedy, Your misery
But most of all...F*ck you"

The lyrics:

If you forgive me my ferocity,
I won't forget your sweetness.
Pull down the night, lay it before me.
Gratify my head with curses.

Night recalls tranquility.
A curtain falls and sets it free.
Darkness calls eternity.
Down silent halls the shadows flee.


I had just graduated with my bachelors and was a wreck, financially and emotionally.

GateandGarden 12-09-2004 01:40 PM

Of course I can't pick one.

First off, "Gate and Garden"--the whole thing. Also,

"Look at all these losers; you find them everywhere. They're f*cked up and annoying but somehow you seem to care." -The Cardigans (reminds me of my high school experience)

"Love is a word that some entertain. If you find it, you have won the game." -Stevie

Most of Stevie's "Juliet"

"I can't feel bad about the way I am." -Stevie again

"There are no doubts I feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again...

It's not important to wonder why
What is just is no more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and over again" (yeah, Stevie again)

"I'm old enough to love you from afar...too trusting, yes, but then women usually are."

"The faces of love have changed, turning the pages. I have changed, oh but you, you remain ageless."

All of Ani DiFranco's "She Says."

"I never remember anything
except for those things
which I never forget--you know
there's no in between" -Ani DiFranco, "Names, Dates, and Times"

"Everything I do
I do for the first time" Ani DiFranco, "Born a Lion"

"If you're gonna do it, overdo it--
That's how you know you're alive" -Ani DiFranco, "Used to You"

All of Ani's "Untouchable Face," "Wish I May," and "Slide"

"Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I
But the air outside so soft is saying everything
Everything..." -Toad the Wet Sprocket, "All I Want"

"Men go crazy in congregations; they only get better one by one." -Sting, "All This Time"

I'll probably think of more later.

What a cool thread!

I want everything and nothing at the same time...
I want what's yours and I want what's mine..
I want you but I'm not giving in this time....Goodbye to you....

-- Michelle Branch - lol...this really applied to a relationship I was having a super super hard time saying goodbye to :nod:

I love that song too. :nod: I really like these lines: "It feels like I'm starting all over again-
The last three years were just pretend."

Oh, sweet jesus, have you ever seen that show "Starting Over" that's on during daytime? If you're ever feeling down, and this goes for everyone, sit down in front of the tube, flip that **** on, and the utter shock and hilarity of it all will make your problems disappear. :nod: :woohoo:

I just got dumped (stupid fool, I know). I feel like this lyric from Kelly Clarkson's Because of You.

"How can my heart break, when it wasn't even whole to start with?"

The Tower 12-09-2004 04:13 PM

I'll remember you... too clearly
But, I'll survive another day
Conversations to share when there's no one there
I'd imagine what you'd say...

I'll see you in another life, now baby
I'll see you in my dreams
But, when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company

Company
I'll be... looking for company
Look and listen through the years
Some day you may hear me
Crying- I'll be crying...
Crying for company

So, now you're going on to live your life
You say we meet each other now and then
But, we'll never, never be the same
And I know I'll never have the same chance again
Oh, no, not like you- not like you

I'll see you in another life, now baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But, when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company

Company
I'll be... looking for company
Look and listen through the years
Some day you may hear me
Crying- I'll be crying...
Crying for company

Listen to me-
I'm still crying for company
Company.... oh, looking...
For company.....

I'm sorry Curtis. :xoxo: I have never once been the dumper in a relationship, always the dumpee. :distress:

gldstwmn 12-09-2004 04:39 PM

Well, this would accompany my dark hair photo in the picture thread:

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow


Which would go hand in had with this:

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by

They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

We will never change again
The way that we are changing


2001 was rough. I'll post a happy one later. :)
