i know that listening to these songs can be sad, but sometimes my mp3 player randomizes to a few songs that make me remember my "situation" and describe what I feel to a tee.

 

a few I can think of right now are

 

what I've done by Linkin Park

Here without you by Three doors down.

 

What are a few of yours?

When I was still in the throws of my pain and I didn't understand the real issues at hand I thought, The Kooks - Naive, was the one I related to.

 

I'm not saying it was your fault

Although you could have done more

Oh you're so naive yet so

How could this be done

Your such a smiling sweetheart

Oh and your sweet and pretty face

In such an ugly way

Something so beautiful

That everytime I look inside

I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false it may be

She's still out to get me

I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false it may be

She's still out to get me

I may say it was your fault

Cause I know you could have done more

Oh you're so naive yet so

How could this be done

By such a smiling sweetheart

Oh and your sweet and pretty face

In such an ugly way something so beautiful

Everytime I look inside

I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false it may be

She's still out to get me

I know that she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false it may be

She's still out to get me

How could this be done

By such a smiling sweetheart

Oh you're so naive yet so

Such an ugly thing

Someone so beautiful

And everytime you're on his side

I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me

And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me

Just don't let me down

Just don't let me down

Hold on to your kite

Just don't let me down

Just don't let me down

Hold on to your kite

Just don't let me down

Just don't let me down

Hold on to this kite

Just don't let me down

 

 

Now the way I feel about relationships in general is, The Killers - When you were young. I feel a lot of people have some twisted view on how they should feel during a long term relationship. Some people miss the "honey moon" period of dating their SO and decide to find that high elsewhere. No one is ever perfect and your relationship is what you let it be a lot of the time.

 

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now ... here he comes!

 

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined when you were young

 

Can we climb this mountain

I don't know

Higher now than ever before

I know we can make it if we take it slow

Let's take it easy

Easy now, watch it go

 

We're burning down the highway skyline

On the back of a hurricane that started turning

When you were young

When you were young

 

And sometimes you close your eyes

and see the place where you used to live

When you were young

 

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet

You don't have to drink right now

But you can dip your feet

Every once in a little while

 

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now here he comes

 

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined when you were young

(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)

When you were young

 

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But more than you'll ever know

Love songs that have resonated with me at various points in my life:

 

 

Pining Songs:

 

"On The Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady (I love old musicals, especially Rogers and Hammerstein and Lerner & Lowe)

 

I have often walked down this street before;

But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.

All at once am I several stories high.

Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

 

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?

Does enchantment pour out of every door?

No, it's just on the street where you live

 

And oh the towering feeling

Just to know somehow you are near.

The overpowering feeling

That any second you may suddenly appear!

 

People stop and stare. They don't bother me.

For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.

Let the time go by, I won't care if I

Can be here on the street where you live.

 

"This Nearly Was Mine" from South Pacific

 

One dream in my heart,

One love to be livin' for,

One love to be livin' for

This nearly was mine.

 

One girl for my dream,

One partner in paradise,

This promise of paradise

This nearly was mine.

 

Close to my heart she came

Only to fly away,

Only to fly as day flies from moonlight

Now, now I'm alone,

Still dreamin' of paradise,

Still sayin' that paradise

Once nearly was mine.

 

I'll keep rememberin' kisses

From lips I've never owned,

And all that lovely adventures

That we have never known.

 

One dream in my heart,

One love to be livin' for,

One love to be livin' for

This nearly was mine.

 

Close to my heart she came

Only to fly away,

Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.

 

Now, now I'm alone,

Still a-dreamin' of paradise,

Still sayin' that paradise

Once nearly was mine!

 

"Cherish" by The Association

 

Cherish is the word I use to describe

All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside

You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could

Mold you into someone who could

Cherish me as much as I cherish you

 

Perish is the word that more than applies

To the hope in my heart each time I realize

That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams

That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes

That I am not gonna be the one to share what

Seems to be the life that you could

Cherish as much as I do yours

 

I'm beginning to think that man has never found

The words that could make you want me

That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound

That could make you hear, make you see

That you are drivin' me out of my mind

 

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize

That I want you just like a thousand other guys

Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies

When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands

And gaze into your eyes

 

Cherish is the word I use to describe

All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside

You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you

You don't know how many times I've wished that I could

Mold you into someone who could

Cherish me as much as I cherish you

 

"The Unforgettable Fire" by U2

 

Ice.

Your only rivers run cold,

These city lights,

They shine as silver and gold,

Dug from the night.

Your eyes as black as coal.

 

Walk on by, walk on through,

Walk till you run.

And don't look back.

For here, I am.

Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin

Through alcohol.

Red wine that punctures the skin.

Face to face in a dry and waterless place.

Walk on by, walk on through

So sad to beseige your love so,

Head on, stay this time.

Stay tonight, in a lie.

Im only asking but I think that you know.

Come on take me away.

Come on take me away.

Come on take me home.

Home again.

 

And if the mountain should crumble,

Or disappear into the sea.

Not a tear, no not I stay in this time.

Stay tonight in a light.

Ever after, this love in time.

And if you save it all, save you love.

Dont push me too far tonight.

song that sums up how I now feel about life, minus the God part ;):

 

"The Ballad of El Goodo" by Big Star

 

Years ago, my heart was set to live

But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds

It gets so hard at times like now to hold on

My guns they're waiting to be stuck by

At my side is God

 

And there ain't no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

 

Theres people around who tell you that they know

The places where they send you, and it's easy to go

They'll zip you up and dress you down

Stand you in a row

But you know you don't have to

You can just say no

 

And there aint no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

 

I've been built up and trusted

Broke down and busted

But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours

If we can

Just hold on

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on

 

Years ago my heart was set to live

But Ive been trying hard against strong odds

It gets so hard at times like now to hold on

Well, I'll fall if I dont fight

And at my side is God

 

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

Ain't no one gonna turn me round

These two are the songs that best summarise my situation...I don't listen to them much anymore but Heart of the Matter is a really beautiful song...

 

Heart of the Matter - India Arie

[FONT=Verdana]I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,

And all the struggles we went through

How I lost me and you lost you

What are these voices outside love's open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

 

I've been learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

These times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined

And people filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age

And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess

Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms

And the work they put between us,

You know it doesn't keep us warm

 

I've been trying to live without you now

But I miss you, baby

The more I know, the less I understand

And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my heart is so shattered

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

All the people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down, you know they hurt your pride

Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on

You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

 

I wanna be happily everafter

And my heart is so shattered

But I know it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if you don't love me anymore

Even if you don't love me anymore[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Criminal - Fiona Apple (my song to my ex)[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#474747][FONT=Times New Roman]Ive been a bad bad girl,

Ive been careless with a delicate man.

And its a sad sad world,

When a girl can break a boy

Just because she can.

 

Dont you tell me to deny it,

Ive done wrong and I want to

Suffer for my sins.

Ive come to you cause I need

Guidance to be true

And I just dont know where I can begin.

 

What I need is a good defense

cause Im feelin like a criminal.

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I sinned against

Because he was all I ever knew of love.

 

Heaven help me for the way I am.

Save me from these evil deeds.

Before I get them done.

I know tomorrow brings the consequence

At hand.

But I keep livin this day like

The next will never come.

 

Oh, help me, but dont tell me

To deny it.

Ive got to cleanse myself.

Of all these lies till Im good

Enough for him.

Ive got a lot to lose and im

Bettin high

So Im beggin you before it ends

Just tell me where to begin.

What I need is a good defense

cause Im feelin like a criminal.

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I sinned against

Because he was all I ever knew of love.

 

Let me know the way

Before theres hell to pay.

Give me room to lay the law and let me go.

 

Ive got to make a play

To make my lover stay

So, what would an angel say?

cause the devil wants to know.

 

What I need is a good defense

cause Im feelin like a criminal.

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I sinned against

Because he was all I ever knew of love.

 

What I need is a good defense

cause Im feelin like a criminal.

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I sinned against

Because he was all I ever knew of love.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Right now, I'm stressed and a bit frustrated but I feel alright. I'm really excited about the future and I'm a lot more at peace with myself then I've probably ever been so I guess I'd go with Let it Be (Beatles), at least on a good day.

 

When my EX and I split six months ago, I was perhaps in the deepest depression I'd ever been (the depression was somewhat of the cause of the beak-up and then exacerbated by it). During those days, my theme song was the Johnny Cash Version of Hurt. Ironically, it was my actually my EX's favorite song by him and she introduced me to it as we were breaking up. I guess perhaps I might have liked it because it was one of the things I got from her but I think it was more because I was simply in a totally self-loathing mood and the lyrics just kind of spoke to me (the video was great too). In particular, the lines,

 

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

Really seemed to sum up my feelings about myself (one of the last things I said to my EX was that I'd probably just hurt her more).

 

I also really liked the last part:

 

if I could start again

a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

 

Since it kind of spoke the the fact that I felt I'd gotten so off-course in my life and had lost myself and my way. In fact, in many ways, the song really helped me because I eventually realized I was only 24 years old, I could start again, and I needed to stop being a whiny twerp and get my act togehter.

 

I listen to Hurt now and I still think it's a beautiful song but I'm glad I'm not living it.

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

 

"And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

 

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight"
