Chris Isaak - Summer Holiday

 

I still find this one very difficult to listen to.

 

 

 

 

 

I was standing all alone

Wondering what went wrong

With the love that seemed so strong

That summer holiday

That holiday

They were closing down the rides

All the people had gone inside

I stood out there and cried

That summer holiday

That holiday

 

And I wonder

Do you ever ever ever think of me

The way it used to be

 

And I wonder do you ever ever ever miss me too

The way that I miss you

On that summer holiday we knew

That holiday with you

On that summer holiday

 

And I wonder do you ever ever ever think of me

The way it used to be

And I wonder do you ever ever ever love me too

The way that I loved you

 

On that summer holiday we knew

That holiday with you

 

On that summer holiday with you

That holiday

Jon Allen - Night and Day. The words' if I cant have your love, I don't want to play the game; if I cant have your love, it would be a lie to love again' sums up exactly how I've felt since that horrible June day 3 years ago when my world fell apart.

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - Blue ft Elton John

[Jitsdude]

I've been looking for a thread like this This song is really speaking to me right now.

 

"I sat by the ocean and drank a potion baby to erase you"

 

Edit for full lyrics:

 

I sat by the ocean and drank a potion, baby to erase you.

Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn’t face you.

There ain’t no use in crying. It doesn’t change anything,

So baby what good does it do?

Your friends, they all sympathize.

Maybe, I don’t need them too.

 

Imagine I'd be your one and only

Instead I'm the lonely one

 

You, me and a lie.

Silence is closer.

We’re passing ships in the night.

 

There’s nowhere to run away.

Said,

“Boy if you want love, you’ll have to go and find it with someone new.”

“Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it’s really you?”

Lies are a funny thing.

They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.

Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view.

 

Imagine I'd be your one and only

Instead I'm the lonely one

 

You, me and a lie.

Silence is closer.

We’re passing ships in the night.

 

You, me and a lie.

Silence is closer.

We’re passing ships in the night.

 

Into the night,

Left with nowhere to hide.

 

Closer and closer.

We’re crashing ships in the night

Full lyrics

[Jitsdude]

Just created a playlist. Heartbreak rock & roll. Some is new, some I haven't listened to in years.

 

And last but not least,

"You know it's true

There's nothing I can do about you"

[bastus]

mayday parade - miserable at best

[Justm3x]

Richard Scott & Tina Amico our movie - YouTube

[hockeydan]

Great for those days when you feel like you are really breaking free from your situation.

 

My life is skipping like a broken record

I keep repeating all the same mistakes

I used to get caught up in all the wreckage

 

But I am waking up today

 

The day you left I thought the world was ending

I lost myself in all the misery

And now I'm picking up the scattered pieces

 

And I am waking up today

I am waking up today

 

I'm not the guy you know

This is me 2.0

I gotta check but I'm never going back

 

I am waking up today

I am waking up today

Something's happening inside of me

'Cause I am waking up today

I am waking up today

 

I take a look at all the people around me

It's hard to tear a friend from enemy

Everyone tries to tell me who I should be

 

But I am waking up today

 

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Are you living how you wanna be?

I'm gonna face the day with eyes wide open.

 

I am waking up today

I am waking up today

 

We were the walking dead

Get your ass outta bed

We got off track but we're never going back

 

I am waking up today

I am waking up today

Something's happening inside of me

'Cause I am waking up today

I am waking up today

 

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey

 

I am waking up today

I am waking up today

Something's happening inside of me

'Cause I am waking up today

I am waking up today

I am waking up today

Something's happening inside of me

'Cause I am waking up today

I am waking up today

When sad... I laugh... so play anything Frank Zappa, that will do for me.

[Justm3x]

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

 

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

 

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

 

And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere I would've followed you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Say something, I'm giving up on you

 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something...

[Xemyd]

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

 

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

 

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

 

And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere I would've followed you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Say something, I'm giving up on you

 

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something...

 

 

This song was on a constant loop for over a week for me.

[Dontfindme]

 

 

chained to the wall of our room

yeah you chained me like a dog in our room

i thought that's how it was

i thought that we were fine

then the day was night

you were high you were high when i was doomed

and dying for with no light with no light

 

tied to my bed

i was younger then

i had nothing to spend but time on you

but it made me love it made me love it made me love more

it made me love it made me love it made me love more

 

do what you said the words she said left out

over unto the sky where i'll soon fly

and she took the time

to believe in to believe in what she said

and she made me love she made me love she made me love more

she made me love she made me love she made me love more

[Christophe]

Break Your Heart by The Gaslight Anthem

[melodicintention]

Any Queensryche will do it for me when I need my spirits lifted. Here's one of my favorites by them:

 

Someone Else by Queensryche

 

When I fell from grace

I never realized

how deep the flood was around me.

A man whose life was toil

was like a kettle left to boil,

and the water left scars on me.

 

I know now who I am.

If only for a while,

I recognize the changes.

I feel like I did before the

magic wore thin and the "baptism

of stains" began.

 

They used to say I was

nowhere, man,

heading down

was my destiny.

But yesterday, I swear,

that was someone else not me.

 

Here I stand at the crossroads edge,

afraid to reach out for eternity,

One step, when I look down,

I see someone else not me.

 

Looking back and I see

someone else.

 

All my life they said I

was going down,

but I'm still standing,

stronger, proud.

And today I know there's

so much more I can be.

 

From where I stand at the crossroads edge,

there's a path leading out to sea.

And from somewhere

deep in my mind,

sirens sing out loud

songs of doubt

as only they know how.

But one glance back reminds, and I see,

someone else not me.

 

I keep looking back

at someone else... me?

[Jatli]

This song still makes me cry 6 months after BU

 

HAUNTED BY BEN MONTAGUE

 

All you said and all you did to me

Was a storm that lies beneath this dark blue sea

It's calm on the surface, but the truth is

When I sleep at night

It's quietly sinking in

You're not lying by my side.

 

And I'm haunted

Still a part of me that's haunted

By the only one I've ever wanted

Everyone has their ghost

 

And when you warned me

I couldn't say you didn't warn me

Maybe I'm afraid cos I know I know

That's what I need the most

Gotta let you go.

 

You said what goes around, comes around

Well I'm floating in a darkness waiting to be found

So why didn't you tell me

That I could be waiting such a long, long time

Oh quietly sinking in

You're not lying by my side.

 

And I'm haunted

Still a part of me that's haunted

By the only one I've ever wanted

Everyone has their ghost

 

And when you warned me

I couldn't say you didn't warn me

Maybe I'm afraid cos I know I know

That's what I need the most

I've gotta let you go.

 

Yeah ' I've gotta let you know

 

And I'm haunted

Still a part of me that's haunted

By the only one I've ever wanted

Everyone has their ghost

 

Oh, When you warned me

I couldn't say you didn't warn me

Maybe I'm afraid cos I know I know

That's what I need the most

Gotta let you go.

[singsparkles]

Honestly, my songs when I'm sad don't really match up because I listen to sad songs when I'm sad, but I'll post a couple sad songs, happy songs, and happy/sad songs that I listen to when I'm sad (lol):

 

*Blackstreet - Happy Song (this one has gotten me through EVERY BREAK UP I'VE EVER HAD SINCE HIGHSCHOOL... It's about leaving your troubles behind, listening to music, and it's so inspiring saying "baby you'll be alright this time" ... definitely a good listen to when you're going through a break up!) - I'll put up the lyrics to only this one:

 

 

Tonight

Gotta take these records off the shelf

Play something special for yourself

It's over now

Gotta leave your troubles far behind

Or just enough to ease your mind

Cuz only time can decide

Baby you'll be alright this time

 

Say my name when you feel the pain

I'll be there to shelter when it's pouring rain

If I can do anything

Girl you know

I'll try

 

Times are rough

You feel you're going nowhere

When sadness hurts so bad

And there's no one to care

The sun shine's after the rain

Girl I know

Cuz I been there before

In this world all alone

And you been there for me

And you gave me your all

I've there before

You'll come around

And you'll be alright

Cuz this is your time, so

 

Just when you think love's about to end

That's when you find a new beginning

It's a part of life

 

You wonder why you go all through a change

Why it seemed like things never go your way

Girl, I know how it feels to be alone

Cuz I been there before

At the bottom alone

I know the way to reach the top

You got to let go

I've been insecure

You'll come around

And you'll be alright

Cuz this is your time, so

 

Tonight

Gotta take these records off the shelf

Play something special for yourself

It's over now

Gotta leave your troubles far behind

On just enough to ease your mind"

This is very apt after being dropped and you`ve had one to many Stella`s, and far too much time for reflection.

[singsparkles]

Linger

 

 

If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.

 

 

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,

It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.

 

 

I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.

So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?

Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?

 

 

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.

You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.

Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,

Do you have to let it linger?

 

 

Oh, I thought the world of you.

I thought nothing could go wrong,

But I was wrong. I was wrong.

If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,

Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,

But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

 

 

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.

You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.

Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,

Do you have to let it linger?

 

 

And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.

You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.

Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,

Do you have to let it linger?

 

 

You know I'm such a fool for you.

You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.

Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,

Do you have to let it linger?

 

 

 

 

 

...One of my favorite songs in the whole wide world!

[Haydn]

Anna Anna was really the `Business` She helped me a lot.

 

 

...One of my favorite songs in the whole wide world!

[AaronSG]

I have to be very careful with this song, and that is Nickleback's "Lullaby"! Sometimes this song gives me the hope that I will survive this breakup. Sometimes the song gives me hours worth of depression due to the memories generated by the song.

[singsparkles]

Anna Anna was really the `Business` She helped me a lot.

 

I don't think I've spoken with Anna Anna yet... but she has wonderful taste in music! lol

[Haydn]

She does not post anymore sadly.
