Kitten Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 These first two are what i like to sit and listen to on my own, and sometimes cry. They are the songs that make me wallow in my own self pity, which we all need to do sometimes. UNINVITED-ALANIS MORRISETTE Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hotblooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd meet shepherd But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight I don't think you unworty I need a moment to deliberate MARY JANE - ALANIS MORRISETTE What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day As you place the don't disturb sign on the door You lost your place in line again, what a pity You never seem to want to dance anymore It's a long way down On this roller coaster The last chance streetcar Went off the track And you're on it I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for Well it's full speed baby In the wrong direction There's a few more bruises If that's the way You insist on heading Please be honest Mary Jane Are you happy Please don't censor your tears You're the sweet crusader And you're on your way You're the last great innocent And that's why I love you So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish Worry not about the cars that go by All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom Keep warm my dear, keep dry Tell me Tell me What's the matter Mary Jane... This song reminds me of Love, and how lucky I am to have found it at last. Its by an Irish band so I don't know if all of you guys will have heard of them. WITH OR WITHOUT YOU - U2 See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you. This song always reminds me to be strong, and tells me that I have got something worth fighting for. EVERYBODY HURTS - R.E.M When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on) if you feel like letting go, (hold on) when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on. Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand. If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long, when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on. Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

Guest Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Words and music by Michelle Branch Leap Of Faith One less call to answer, feeling full of despair, don't think I can get through it, just one last prayer. *And it's a leap of faith, when you believe there's someone out there, it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh, and when I call out to you, will you be right there, right there. Searching for the answer, nobody seems to care, Oh how I wish that you were here, beside me, to wipe away my tears. *And it's a leap of faith, when you believe there's someone out there, it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh, and when I call out to you, will you be right there, right there. Waiting for the answer, remembering times we would share, somehow I feel you here beside me, even though your not there. *And it's a leap of faith, when you believe there's someone out there, it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh, and when I call out to you, will you be right there- Bridge: Right there--- And I'll be waiting by the window for your smile to come through, and I'll be waiting in the darkness when I call out to you, and I'll remember when you told me, I could trust in you- *And it's a leap of faith, when you believe there's someone out there, it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh, and when I call out to you, will you be right there- It's a leap of faith, and I believe that you are out there, it's a leap of faith and I believe you truly care, oh, and when I call out to you, I know you'll be right there, right there, and it's a leap of faith.

Guest Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 This song is based on the Montreal Massacre, when Marc Lepine entered an engineering classroom at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, asked the men to leave, and proceeded to shoot the 27 women left. 14 were killed, followed by Lepine's suicide. It as a statement against feminism, which Lepine claimed had ruined his life. <b>Montreal, December '89</b> by Judy Small It was a cold December afternoon. The line stretched round the block. Some of them were weeping, and some were still in shock. Seven thousand came that day to pay their last respects to fourteen women slaughtered for no reason but their sex. And the cameras and the mikes were there to record the grief and fear of the ordinary people who worked and studied here. And a woman in her 50's, in a gentle quiet tone, summed up her sisters' outrage at the murder of their own. She said, "I wonder why, as I try to make sense of this, why is it always men who resort to the gun, the sword, and the fist? Why does gunman sound so familiar while gunwoman doesn't quite ring true? What is it about men that makes them do the things they do?" And a man behind her in the line, he started getting steamed. He said, "It wasn't cause he was a man - this guy was crazy, mad, obscene!" "Yes, he was crazy," the woman replied "but women go crazy too. And I've never heard of a woman shooting fourteen men - have you?" And all those other times came flooding back to me again. A hundred news reports of men killing families, strangers, friends. And yes I can remember one or two where a woman's hand held the gun. But exceptions only prove the rule, and the question still remains... And don't you wonder why, as you try to make sense of this, why is it always men who resort to the gun, the sword, and the fist? Why does gunman sound so familiar while gunwoman doesn't quite ring true? What is it about men that makes them do the things they do? And I know there are men of conscience, who aren't like that at all. Who would never raise a hand in anger and who reject the macho role. And if you were to ask them about the violence that men do - I know they'd say they hate male violence too. And so we wonder why, as we try to make sense of this, why is it always men who resort to the gun, the sword, and the fist? Why does gunman sound so familiar, while gunwoman doesn't quite ring true? What is it about men that makes them do the things they do? What is it about men, that makes them do the things they do?

Guest Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I really like Ani DiFranco's music. Lately, I've been really angry and her song "Outta Me Onto You" is really great for that. She's just screaming "no, no, no, no!" during parts of it & it makes me feel powerful. Fiona Apple is great when I'm angry. And so is Nine Inch Nails "Terrible Lie" & "Head like a hole."

Guest Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 ((((((((((((((brothers and sisters))))))))))))))))))) This is the latest song that has touched my heart and brought comfort. I turned to Jesus Christ about 8 months after I was raped. I knew I needed Him. Deep down I just knew He was my only way out. That was 3 and 1/2 years ago and it's been a long journey. There have been many times when I have fought. I have wondered, "why". I have yelled at Him. I have litterally screamed. I have cried rivers to Him. Hurled accusing words at Him. Run back to Him, only to want to leave again. And it's okay. He always stays right beside me. Faithfully. He will never ask me "why didn't you fight" He will never look at me as if I'm dirty. He will never say He doesn't understand... I may be angry, I may not want Him, but one thing for sure. He has never left me. He will never leave me. He's the one who's held me close in my coldest, loneliest nights. He has whispered sweet words of peace and wiped away my tears. He is the only hope I have of ever feeling pure and clean again. Oh, please don't think that I'm preaching or pushing anything on you. That's the last thing I want to do. I hurt for you, as I know you hurt for me. My hope and prayer is that we will all come to the place where the pain will stop. God has sent some of the most wonderful people my way. People who have brought comfort, prayer and kindness. This faith I have has been strong, it has been weak, but I am slowly healing. I am learning to forgive my attacker, (i may not be there yet, but it's okay).. but most importantly I am learning how to love and forgive myself. So many times we end up hating ourselves for something we had nothing to blame for....And I am learning to let Jesus take my shame. To take it away. I don't want it! He died on the cross to take it away. All I have to do is let Him. Easier said than done, I know... I have only this hope to offer, and sweet sisters and brothers, this is from the bottom of my heart. Please read these lyrics. I'm sorry if I rambled. Thank you for listening. lisita Mark Schultz - Back in His Arms Again From the album Song Cinema I see it in your eyes The pain you keep inside It's slowly tearing you apart Though you've run away Reminded day by day You've stumbled and you've fallen Still He's calling I believe that He loves you where you are I believe that you've seen the hands of God I believe that you'll know it when You're back in His arms again I believe that He never let you go I believe that He's wanting you to know I believe that He'll lead you 'til you're back in His arms again Glad I found you here 'Cause in between the tears Something in your eyes shows hope And I stand before you now As one that knows about Coming to Him open and broken And I know that He's callin' He's callin' you Home One life, one love, one way Home And when you rise and when you fall He will see you through it all He is waiting, you are called, back in His arms again.

Guest Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 The Night of Her Insistence She finally understood it, the sadness of her life The weight of her emotion, the gravity of light She looked into the back of her mind To see where she had been But all she saw was a secret And she could not look in... All those years of waiting All those years of trying too hard All those years of failing Pushed her down too far She wearies of the geographies That tell her who she is She chokes on her philosophies And all that she has been... When she finally put her foot down She put her fears down too She left them by the back door And through the night she flew Away from her emotions Away from the tricks of time Away from cruel devotions She left them all behind... It was the night of her insistence It was the day she found her will It was the dream she’d always harboured And harbours still It was the night of her configuration All the pieces finally there And in that light of transformation She... Finally understood it The sadness of her life The weight of her emotion The gravity of light She looked beyond the back of her mind To see where she had been And there she saw the secret And now she looked in. -The Wyrd Sisters (Edited by Zoe at 1:10 pm on Aug. 1, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitten Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I love The Corrs too Caroline, and I actually prefer their version of Everybody Hurts. Its beautiful. Im listening to it now on my PC! This is another song that I love now, A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. It makes me cry when I listen to it though, it reminds me of how much I miss my Boyf when he's not here; Making my way down town Walking fast Faces pass And I'm home bound Staring blankly ahead Just making my way Making a way Through the crowd And I need you And I miss you And now I wonder If I could fall Into the sky Do you think time Would pass me by Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... tonight It's always times like these When I think of you And I wonder If you ever think of me Cause everything's so wrong And I don't belong Living in Your precious memory Cause I need you And I miss you And now I wonder If I could fall Into the sky Do you think time Would pass me by,oh Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... tonight And I, I don't wanna let you know I, I drown in your memory I, I don't wanna let this go I, I've fallen... Making my way down town Walking fast Faces pass And I'm home bound Staring blankly ahead Making my way Making a way Through the crowd And I still need you And I still miss you And now I wonder If I could fall into the sky Do you think time, would pass us by Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... If I could fall into the sky Do you think time would pass me by Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... If I could just hold you... tonight And another by Vanessa Carlton, Paradise. I think these lyrics are very apt for the situation that most of us here are in; once upon a year gone by she saw herself give in every time she closed her eyes she saw what could have been well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds when covers tucked in tight funny when the bottom drops how she forgets to fight... to fight and it's one more day in paradise one more day in paradise as darkness quickly steals the light that shined within her eyes she slowly swallows all her fear and soothes her mind with lies well all she wants and all she needs are reasons to survive a day in which the sun will take her artificial light... her light and it's one more day in paradise one more day in paradise it's one more day in paradise one last chance to feel alright... alright don't pretend to hold it in just let it out don't pretend to hold it in just push it out don't you try to hold it in just let it out and don't you try to hold it in you hold it in [chorus] once upon a year gone by she saw herself give in every time she closed her eyes she saw what could have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest golden lady Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 "Bridge Over Troubled Water ", by Paul Simon When you're weary, feelin' small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough, And friends just can't 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 you're down and out, when you're on the street, When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you. I'll take your part, Oh, when darkness comes, and pain 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 silver girl, sail on by, Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way. See how they shine, Oh, if you need a friend, I'm 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 Recorded by Simon and Garfunkel, on "Bridge over Troubled Waters" and "The Concert In Central Park".

Guest Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 DAMAGED Dreaming comes so easily 'Cause it's all that I've ever know True love is a fairy tale I'm damaged, so how would I know I'm scared and I'm alone I'm ashamed And I need for you to know I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me Healing comes so painfully And it chills to the bone Will anyone get close to me? I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know There's mending for my soul An ending to this fear Forgiveness for a man who was stronger I was just a little girl, but I can't go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenster73 Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 A 'feel good' song - when I hear it I think of Pandy's! Lighthouse Family - High When you're close to tears remember Someday it'll all be over One day we're gonna get so high. Though it's darker than December What's ahead is a different colour One day we're gonna get so high. And at the end of the day, remember the days When we were close to the end And wonder how we made it through the night At the end of the day, Remember the way We stayed so close to the end We'll remember it was me and you Cause we are gonna be Forever, you and me You will Always keep it flying high in the sky Of love Don't you think it's time you started Doing what we always wanted One day we're gonna get so high. Cause even the impossible Is easy when we got each other One day we're gonna get so high. And at the end of the day, remember the days When we were close to the end And wonder how we made it through the night At the end of the day Remember the way We stayed so close to the end We'll remember it was me and you Cause we are gonna be Forever, you and me You will Always keep it flying high in the sky Of love So many great songs listed here!

Guest Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 "Naked" - Avril Lavigne I wake up in the morning Put on my face The one that's gonna get me Through another day Doesn't really matter How I feel inside 'Cause life is like a game sometimes But then you came around me The walls just disappeared Nothing to surround me And keep me from my fears I'm unprotected See how I've opened up Oh, you've made me trust Because I've never felt like this before I'm naked Around you Does it show? You see right through me And I can't hide I'm naked Around you And it feels so right I'm trying to remember Why I was afraid To be myself and let the Covers fall away I guess I never had someone like you To help me, to help me fit In my skin I never felt like this before I'm naked Around you Does it show? You see right through me And I can't hide I'm naked Around you And it feels so right I'm naked Oh oh yeah Does it show? Yeah, I'm naked Oh oh, yeah yeah I'm so naked around you And I can't hide You're gonna (you're gonna) see right through, baby you're gonna see right through, i'm so naked around you, and i can't hide, you're gonna see right through, baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 One Day I'll Fly Away has been really healing: I follow the night Can't stand the light When will I begin to live again? One day I'll fly away Leave all this to yesterday What more could your love do for me When will love be through with me Why live life from dream to dream I dread the day when dreaming ends One day I'll fly away Leave all this to yesterday I dread the day when dreaming ends One day I'll fly away Fly fly away Why live life from dream to dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaike Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Well as i first had no time to write down flinch i do it now: Flinch - Alanis Morissette What's it been over a decade? It still smarts like it was four minutes ago We only influenced each other totally We only bruised each other even more so What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad How long can a girl be shackled to you How long before my dignity is reclaimed How long can a girl stay haunted by you Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city My brother saw you somewhere downtown I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin How long can a girl be tortured by you? How long before my dignity is reclaimed And how long can a girl be haunted by you Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in This man knows not of how this information has affected me But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air Precious Illusions - Alanis Morissette you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did.. I'll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in you'll complete me right? then my life can finally begin I'll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am? but this won't work now the way it once did and I won't keep it up even though I would love to once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am but I know I won't keep on playing the victim these precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends this ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water but this won't work as well as the way it once did cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am but I know I won't keep on playing the victim these precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid and parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend I've spent so long firmly looking outside me I've spent so much time living in survival mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaike Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 That I Would Be Good - Alanis Morissette that I would be good even if i did nothing that I would be good even if i got the thumbs down that I would be good if I got and stayed sick that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds that i would be fine even even if I went bankrupt that i would be good if I lost my hair and my youth that i would be great if I was no longer queen that i would be grand if i was not all knowing that i would be loved even when i numb myself that i would be good even when i am overwhelmed that i would be loved even when i was fuming that i would be good even if i was clingy that i would be good even if i lost sanity that i would be good whether with or without you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I have always loved this song and it makes me think of all of you. Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are. I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you. I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
