" and now you can't say ,your love, will never die" journey. just always got to me. still does.

Scarlet Begonias-Grateful Dead

"Cause once in a while you get shown in the light,
In the strangest of places if you look at it right."-R.Hunter

This song also speaks to me

Frank Turner, I Still Believe

p.o.d - youth of the nation....
"theres got to be more to life than this, theres got to be more to everything i thought exists"

--- changed everything for me when i was around 12 years old... since then..now 24.... i have been awake for years and now see all the more there is out there.... wake up people.. it worth it

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.

--Rush, Tom Sawyer

We're sucking the life from the whole of the world Can't be confined or condemned to be Reduced to a place that's a violent resolve To the end they will try
And silence you.

"Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold, she took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run far from the carnage of the fiery sun"

Closer, Kings of Leon

Ironically, this became me and my ex gfs favorite song after I took her to a Kings of Leon concert.

She called me last night out of the blue. Tough.

"If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin' up to heaven
We are goin' to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
In another face"

<3

"Please, take this, and run far away
Far as you can see
I am Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me
All these pieces and promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me"

"And All That Could Have Been" by NIN

As to why - perhaps some day I'll find the time to paw it out on the k/b.

It's rainin', but there ain't a cloud in the sky.
Must of been a tear from your eye -
Don't worry, everything'll be okay.

I love this song... I like the line "ten thousand years of chasing's taking it toll"

I invented myself with no one's help, I'm a prototype supreame.... Alice Cooper

Let me alone, don't touch me! Alice Cooper

I loved collective Soul... Whatever happened to them?

Huh! Wow. I don't know. The funny thing is I was debating between posting the whole song and the last verse, then chose the second verse instead as it has always resonated the most with me.

Don't know about spiritual twins, but glad to meet someone who thinks this song is as amazing as I do.

There is no past, there's only future
There's only here, there's only now

Dust in the wind....all we are is dust in the wind.

The train, it left the station
with two lights on behind
Well, the blue light was my blues
and the red light was my mind

Robert Johnson, Love in Vain

And in the night
My father came to me
And held me to his chest
He said there's not much more that you can do
Go on and get some rest

Paul Simon, Think Too Much

"They forgot the onions!"

Trapped in the Drive Thru by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Great fun thread!!! Thanx JV

My song changes from year to year as to what is relevant in my life. It used to be all Led Zeppelin lyrics for that celtic love Robert used to put into words so well....

By the turn of the century it was much of "The Fragile" by NIN due to the doom and gloom of love...

But right now and lately I am really liking this ancient Brit Rock Song from Procol Harum. The Chorus in Conquistador....
The balance of the lyrics remind me of the now fading star that was once these Great United States of America....



Procol Harum Conquistador Lyrics
Songwriters: K. REID, G. BROOKER
Conquistador your stallion stands
In need of company
And like some angel's haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armour-plated breast
Has long since lost it's sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen

And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind

Conquistador a vulture sits
Upon your silver shield
And in your rusty scabbard now
The sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of it's fill

Time is waiting in the wings,
it speaks of senseless things,
it's script is you and me.

David Bowie.

One more:

I'm amazed at the quiet ocean
I'm amazed at your wrong devotion
I'm amazed at what the people saying
I'm amazed by a divided nation
Like the middle of the earth I get disrupted

I'm amazed at all that has been
I'm amazed at all who be
I'm amazed at the TV stations
I'm amazed what they want me to believe
After all is said and done where is the justice?

I'm amazed at the lack of evolution
I'm amazed at the lack of faith
I'm amazed at the love we rejected
I'm amazed that we accepted this place

When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna shout for joy
Come on without, come on within
You've not seen nothing like the mighty Quinn

But seriously

With, without
And who'd deny its what the fighting is all about

And


My Savior loves, my savior lives, my Savior's always there for me
My God He was my God He is my God is always gonna be

I always thought that last line was:

I'm amazed at what we accept in it's place.

I still think it is...should have read it before posting.

The Heart of Life

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

It reminds me to focus on the positive.

Tim Buckley - Song to the Siren

"did I dream you dreamed about me?

its a dream in a dream, in which we all are living in....

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes then steal your dreams

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls

Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
Linkin Park

Salute Force Recon

Don't put all the words to the song, or it's a copyright issue...
