What one song .....?

[jadegypsy]

Sweet Girl would basicaly be the story of my life...
"come down here for a minute..."
"I chose to dance across the stages of the world..."
"Sometimes even I am allowed to fall..."

Also Silver Girl,
"She was a Silver Girl, Lost in a High Tech World...She would've perferred the last generation..." "Insane far beyond her years...She's a wild adventurer"

And Gypsy, although oddly enough I could be either side of that song, the gypsy leaving, or the girl watching the gypsy leave...

Why, why would anyone dump curtis? It doesn't seem right. Has the world gone crazy?

Great Topic!
Landslide- "Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life, I don't know?"
This applies when I moved away from home for school.
Bella Donna- Really just the name Donna cause thats my mothers name so it reminds me of her.
Shelby Lynne's If I Were Smart- "If I were smart, I wouldn't have a heart."
There is a ton more songs, but those are the first that came to my head.
Brit

Beautiful Child is tightly connected with a tough moment I've gone through at the start of this year. I was in the middle, for a number of reasons, of a very deep sense of loss, and to listen to that song has been very soothing, because, even in a totally different context, was able to give words to what I was feeling.

Beauty and The Beast...why? Because I feel like I was an ass to one of my friends.

There are three songs I can think of instantly.

One is this amazing song by Sam Phillips on Fan Dance called "Taking Pictures." Sometimes it strikes me as very, very strange that I'm growing up and that things are changing and that I'm not who I used to be. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

When I take a picture of the city it disappears
It's only a photograph the city is gone
The places I go are never there

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world when you touch me.

He brought me the air of Paris in a bottle
The record caught the air of London nineteen sixty-five
The places I go are never there

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
I can only picture the disappearing world when you touch me.

And Lucinda Williams' Side of the Road is the soundtrack to heartbreak for me.

You wait in the car on the side of the road
Let me go and stand awhile, I wanna know you're there but I wanna be alone
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind

I walked out in a field, the grass was high, it brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out at the open space and a farmhouse out a ways
And I wondered about the people who lived in it
And I wondered if they were happy and content
Were there children and a man and a wife?
Did she love him and take her hair down at night?

If I stray away too far from you, don't go and try to find me
It doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I won't come back and
stay beside you
It only means I need a little time
To follow that unbroken line
To a place where the wild things grow
To a place where I used to always go

If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind

And, yesterday was the eight year anniversary of my grandmother's death. She meant so much to me, and I miss her every day. It's my "dark day" every year, and the tragedy last night in Ohio didn't help me today at all. "A Long December" came out RIGHT at that time, and I can't listen to this song at this time of the year without bursting into tears.

The smell of hospitals in the winter
and the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls

Not my favorite Stevie song, but I can appreciate the lyrics. It is almost like Bon Jovi wrote this about my life, instead of Stevie's life. The lyrics pretty much sum up the story of my life.

Sometimes It's A Bitch

Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure, my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
and dark, desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands, down on my knees

Chorus:
Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses, but sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...but sometimes...it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasures
I've laid down with love and I've woke up with lies
What's it all worth? - Only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror, but what's left inside

you've gotta take it as it comes......
Sometimes it don't come easy.......

Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy
I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I've tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could, I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
you get what you want but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch and sometimes....it's a breeze

Sometimes it's a breeze

AND

I think these stanzas:

Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure, my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
and dark, desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands, down on my knees

are great - just my opinion - but I can totally relate and have been there so . . . .

Well, you do have all of your teeth - which could be a shock to the dating pool there

to hear you have been there too. Still, it is nice to know that someone else shares my feelings for the song and really understands it too.

I just wasn't made to be here all my life. The post high school schooling here is amazing, believe it or not and that's why I stayed. Come May 14th, I'm busting out of this hot dog stand and finding me a man, a dog, and a job that pays the bills....and then some.

Until then....

In fact, I was skiing one time and I purposefully put both of my arms out arms out and BELTED on the way down "My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain" and the rest of the song - Fortunately was not soon with my head in my hands and down on my knees after a spill Seriusly, I think the song is great

[GODDESS6]

this is 1 of my ALL time fav songs & i relate 2 the lyrics so much~ it is very me~


AMERICAN GIRL
Well she was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldn’t help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin’ she had one little promise
She was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl

It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin’ in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it’s so painful
Something that’s so close
And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl


but if i picked a stevie song, it would have to be "gypsy" like so many of u also have chose, there is just some kind of mysticisum *(sp) & truth to the lyrics, they just touch the heart deep + it is the best fm video!!! stevie is just so delish in it ~
