Song

Haha, just joking. I listen to Breaking Benjamin at the moment while lifting.

I love their songs, unknown soldier and breath
 
I have missed alot of posts! This is an awesome one :) Here is mine at the moment.







[Intro:][×2]
Da da da'd da da
Da da da'd da da
Da da da'd da da da da

[Verse 1:]
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could breakaway

[chorus]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Da da da'd da da
Da da da'd da da
Da da da'd da da da da

[Verse 2:]
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jetplane, far away
And breakaway

[chorus]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

[Bridge:]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
But, gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

[chorus 2]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Breakaway
Breakaway...
 
Funny enough, I think about making a soundtrack of my life ALL the damn time. Maybe because I'm fabulous like that. ;)


This song is fitting for all the "silly monkeys" that I run into everyday:


me <3 Beer


Because this is how I truly roll....


-Sheryl
 
This song makes me happier when I miss my family.

When I was a kid, my father was and pretty much still is a major workaholic (I've always believed that addiction can be inherited, and I definitely got that addiction from my father). he also travelled quite a bit and not local travel, he went to places like Pakistan, Iran, Argentina, and other far off places where he'd be gone for weeks at a time... Rough on my mom I'm sure, and I never really saw him much as a kid. (oh wah wah wah, mal...)

One Sunday when he was home, we went to church, and the priest played a song that he thought people should hear becuase he felt it was important... Harry Chapins Cats in the Cradle... my dad seemed deeply disturbed by that song and really cut back on his travelling after that point...

That song has been on my IPod forver but I rarely hear it -- or even think about it -and it just came up now.. and damn is all can say - Guilt trip in the afternoon....

Cats In The CradleA child arrived just the other day,
came to the world in the usual way,
But there were planes to catch
and bills to pay, he learned to walk while I was away
He was talking before I knew it and as he grew
he said I'm going to be like you Dad,
you know I'm going to be like you.

Chorus :
And the cat's in the cradle,
and the silver spoon, Little Boy Blue,
and the Man in the Moon,
When you coming home son, I don't know when
We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then.

My son turned 10 just the other day,
Said thanks for the ball now c'mon let's play
Will you teach me to throw, I said not today,
I've got a lot to do, he said that's ok
And he walked away and he smiled and he said
You know I'm going to be like you, Dad,
you know I'm going to be like you.

Chorus.

He came from college just the other day,
so much like a man I just had to say,
I'm proud of you, won't you sit for a while
He shook his head and said with a smile,
What I'm feeling like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later can I have them please.

Chorus.

I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind
He said I'd love to Dad, if I could find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking you Dad, it's been real nice talking to you.
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me
He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me.
 
I was just told that I need a theme song.. and it should be...

When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.


Because I spend a lot of time listening to people and makng them feel better about themselves - that really is fascinating because my family would tell you that I suck and don't care about anyone but myself...
 
Here is the sound track to the last few weeks of my midlife crisis...
Talking Heads "Once in a lifetime"

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
 
this is a song I'd be willing to bet no one has ever heard of the song or performer -and leme just say -ya'll should spend some time on - tehy've got some awesome stuff: (a rare positive song from me)


Has the world gone wild
Does it seem a little colder
I’ve gone a thousand miles
And I feel a little older
But so much wiser

I have burned
And I have tried
I’ve made my way through the Dark
Lighting candles
Sometimes I’ve cried
But I am stronger now
A little stronger now

And If I still have a heart
I will love a little harder
And if it all falls apart
I will dig a little deeper
Move a little closer

Because I’ve yearned
To be free
From the chains that have bound me
I’ve been tangled
Now I believe
That I am stronger now
A little stronger now
Because I’ve burned
 
Bother - Corey Taylor

Wish I was too dead to cry,
the self-affliction fades,
stones to throw at my creator,
Masochist to which I cater.
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I won't let go ‘til it bleeds
Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed i cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me $h!t to digest
I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I won't let go ‘til it bleeds
Wish I died instead of lived
The zombie hides my face
Shelf forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I won't let go ‘til it bleeds
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on I'll never look down my deceits​
 
I was flipping channels last night and stumbled into yet one more idiotic reality show about dance - and the song they were dancing too -I hadn't heard for years and it really struck me as to how appropriate some of the lyrics were...

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right .
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

MJ may be a total freak ... but...
 
Hope I am able to post this correctly.
The song of my LIFE right now would be:
Meredith Andrews ~ Your not alone
It just totally makes me think of how I felt growing up. All by myself trying to make it thru. And then I found Jesus and I was/am no longer alone.........ever again.
 
hm fun post...and Im going to be oh so depressing on this...gotta love estrogen



"Coffee and Cigarettes" by Michelle Featherstone

I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday

I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
And all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I thought that if I didn’t go and play
The sadness would get bored and go away
I thought that if I didn’t go astray
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I must quit, I must quit, you
 
Say- John Mayer

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ‘em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you only could . . .

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]
 
I know this thread is very old but I must post!

Music is a huge part of my life. I'm no virtuoso at an instrument, barely a writer, but an avid listener! I have attempted to play saxophone, bass, cello, and percussion. My favorite types of music are instrumental, ambient, minimalist, jazz, etc. I rarely listen to music with vocals (With the exceptions of David Sylvian and Mark Hollis)

You can pretty much listen to the soundtrack of my life on my Myspace page (link in my siggy) There's a Jerome music player under my 'about me' it took me many many months to perfect that selection! :)

Here are some of my favorite Hollis/Sylvian lyrics:

Talk Talk (Mark Hollis) 'Eden' - 1988

Summer bled of Eden
Easter's heir uncrowns
Another destiny lies leeched upon the ground
A gilded wreath on reason
The flower crushed conceives
A child of fragrance so much clearer
In legacy

Everybody needs someone to live by

David Sylvian - 'Orpheus' 1987

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that theyll hear
But orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world

Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
Theres a beauty here I cannot deny
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
Are just so many people I knew never cared
Down below on the wreck of the ship
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldnt regret
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side

Tell me, Ive still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my orpheus sing

Sleepers sleep as we row the boat
Just you the weather and I gave up hope
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps
Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs
Still the voices have stories to tell
Of the power struggles in heaven and hell
But we feel secure against such mighty dreams
As orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring

Tell me, Ive still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my orpheus sing


David Sylvian - 'World Citizen' 2004 (This song is on my profile, and part of my signature)

What happened here?
The butterfly has lost its wings
The air's too thick to breathe
And there's something in the drinking water.

The sun comes up
The sun comes up and you're alone
Your sense of purpose come undone
The traffic tails back to the maze on 101

And the news from the sky
Is looking better for today
In every single way
But not for you

World citizen

World citizen

It's not safe
All the yellow birds are sleeping
Cos the air's not fit for breathing
It's not safe

Why can't we be
Without beginning, without end?
Why can't we be?

World citizen

World citizen

And if I stop
And talk with you awhile
I'm overwhelmed by the scale
Of everything you feel
The lonely inner state emergency

I want to feel
Until my heart can take no more
And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't give

I want to break
The indifference of the days
I want a conscience that will keep me wide awake

I won't be disappointed
I won't be disappointed
I won't be.

I saw a face
It was a face I didn't know
Her sadness told me everything about my own

Can't let it be
When least expected there she is
Gone the time and space that separates us

And I'm not safe
I think I need a second skin
No, I'm not safe

World citizen

World citizen

I want to travel by night
Across the steppes and over seas
I want to understand the cost
Of everything that's lost
I want to pronounce all their names correctly

World citizen

World citizen

I won't be disappointed
I won't be.

She doesn't laugh
We've gone from comedy to commerce
And she doesn't feel the ground she walks upon

I turn away
And I'm not sleeping well at night
And while I know this isn't right
What can you do?
