So, I was out walking and listening to music today and I realised how many songs have lyrics that actually speak to me in some way....today's was Murdered in the City by the Avett Brothers and the line is:

"always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name"

That line always makes me bawl....

What lyrics do you guys love?

    Fallen by Volbeat. Always reminds me of my father who passed away ten years ago:
    Feel the sadness burning in my heart.
    You left to early father love.
    So many things I should have said.
    But in your mind you knew it well.
    Holding on to what I got and love.
    But things still seem so dark and cold.
    The fire is burning down my happiness.
    But I will rise.

    "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." NIN

    Tom Waits- Martha

    "And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
    And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me"

    all about lost love and the passage of time

    Oh God, yes!! One of my favourites - all time

    Pretty much anything Tom Waits ever wrote is so stunningly beautiful as to be heart stopping!!! San Diego Serenade pretty much nails me to the floor.

    The Gaslight Anthem - I know, I post their *kitten* all the time - love the last verse to Here Comes My Man

    Maybe time will tell you Why I got so much hell to sell you
    Please, please understand me Oh you can't just dance around me
    Maybe your work will love you When I'm just not there to hold you
    Maybe your pride can be your companion
    Oh but I just won't be there to stand for it Not one more minute will I stand for it

    Rush - Mission

    Spirits fly on dangerous missions
    Imaginations on fire
    Focused high on a soaring ambition
    Consumed in a single desire

    In the grip of a nameless possession
    Slave to the drive of obsession
    A spirit with a vision is a dream
    With a mission

    Queen - Innuendo

    While the song hangs in the sky and the dessert has sand,
    while the waves crash in the sea and meet the land.
    While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow,
    'til the mountains crumble into the plain.
    Yes, we'll keep on trying tread that fine line.
    We'll keep on trying, just passing our time.

    While we live according to race, colour or creed,
    while we rule by blind madness and pure greed,
    our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion,
    through the eons, and on and on.
    Yes, we'll keep on trying, we'll tread that fine line
    We'll keep on trying, 'til the end of time.

    Gives me the chills every time

    I love that part from Black by Pearl Jam

    "...I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
    But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?"

    Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah:
    Now I've heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?

    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    I love that song! I like Jeff Buckleys version better. So pretty!

    The world was on fire and no one could save me but you, it's strange what desirewI'll make foolish people do. No I don't want to fall in love, no I don't want to fall in love with you

    'Cause I don't have time to waste on the boys
    That are playing the games
    And leaving the girls crying out in the rain
    So tell me, baby,
    Are you just crazy, or crazy over me?

    If you're gonna hold me, hold me like I'm leaving
    If you're gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
    Baby, if you're not, you best get to leaving
    If you're gonna love me, love me like you mean it

    If you're gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
    If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
    If you're gonna say it, make me believe it
    If you're gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it
