The song is about how even the painful moments in life are transcendent.

 

Maybe there’s a God above

But all I’ve ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

It’s not a cry you can hear at night

It’s not somebody who has seen the light

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

 

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light in every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

 

Love this song! My fav is the Jeff Buckley version.

I will never be able to listen to Adele again for as long as I live. My ex LOVED Adele, and always was singing her songs to me. I could still hear her singing "Someone Like You" in my head. It's so eerie. :(

 

Anyway, I think this song may have been posted earlier. but I keep listening to it. It describes my situation (and probably a lot of others) perfectly.

 

 

Have you seen my hands?



Just look at 'em shake

And the song just keeps on repeating

Drop the needle again

 

And I danced with your ghost

Oh, but that ain't the way

I can't move on and I can't stay the same

And all my friends say:

 

"Hey, turn the record over

Hey, I'll see you on the flip-side

There you go, turn the key and engine over

Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet"

 

But have you seen my heart?

Have you seen how it bleeds?

And the nights are so long baby

Out here in the deep

 

The tick-ticking of hours, lonely

I hear the alarm

I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms

But "better sense" says:

 

"Hey, turn the record over

Hey, I'll see you on the flip-side

There you go, turn the key and engine over

Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet"

 

And all my friends say:

 

"Hey, turn the record over

Hey, I'll see you on the flip-side

There you go, turn the key and engine over

Let her go, let somebody else lay at my feet"

 

Where you used to be

Where you used to be

Where you used to be

Here with me

Lately I've been thinking

Lately I've been dreaming with you

I'm so resistant to this type of thinking

Oh, now it's shining through

I was alone for the last time

Before my night's vacation with you

Alive from the first

Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

 

You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me

Please

 

I know there's little use in crying

It's more wide awake and dying then I'm used to

I thought we'd walk these streets together

Now I'm hoping that I'll never have to meet you

Step aside from all this anger

And somewhere in between I can feel you

Ask me should we try again

I'm thinking no

why'know, it's not what I believe in

It's not what I believe in

 

You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me

Please

You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me

Please

 

No I, want to taste you, love

No I...no I

No I, just want to taste you, love

 

Standing in your shoes

I turn and now

You're standing bare in my doorway

I only wish that I had been prepared

I'm gonna have to go along with your way

Just take the plastic camera out

It's the pants you borrowed in the driveway

Alive from the first

Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

 

Make yourself a photograph and laugh at me

Please

You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me

Please

 

No I, want to taste of love

No I...

 

I was alive from the first

Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

 

This song just perfectly captures what I feel and state of mind as I go through my healing. It's sung wonderfully as well by the artist.

Can't stop listening to this song!! It's by Kenny Chensney

 

"Somewhere With You"

 

If you're going out with someone new

I'm going out with someone too

I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk

But I'd much rather be somewhere with you

 

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah

Driving around on a Saturday night

You made fun of me for singing my song

Got a hotel room just to turn you on

 

You said pick me up at three a.m.

You're fighting with your mom again

And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go somewhere with you

 

I won't sit outside your house

And wait for the lights to go out

Call up an ex to rescue me, climb in their bed

When I'd much rather sleep somewhere with you

 

Like we did on the beach last summer

When the rain came down and we took cover

Down in your car, out by the pier

You laid me down, whispered in my ear

 

I hate my life, hold on to me

Ah, if you ever decide to leave

Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

 

I can go out every night of the week

Can go home with anybody I meet

But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes

I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

 

If you see me out on the town

And it looks like I'm burning it down

You won't ask and I won't say

But in my heart I'm always somewhere with you

 

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah

Driving around on a Saturday night

You made fun of me for singing my song

Got a hotel room just to turn you on

 

You said pick me up at three a.m.

You're fighting with your mom again

And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go

 

I can go out every night of the week

Can go home with anybody I meet

But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes

I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

 

Somewhere with you

I'm somewhere with you

I'm somewhere with you

Somewhere with you

Somewhere with you

This song can drag my mood from the top floor to the basement

 

 

 

And now when all is done

There is nothing to say

You have gone and so effortlessly

You have won

You can go ahead tell them

 

Tell them all I know now

Shout it from the roof tops

Write it on the sky line

All we had is gone now

 

Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open

Tell them what I hoped would be

Impossible, impossible

Impossible, impossible

 

Falling out of love is hard

Falling for betrayal is worst

Broken trust and broken hearts

I know, I know

 

Thinking all you need is there

Building faith on love and words

Empty promises will wear

I know, I know

 

And now when all is gone

There is nothing to say

 

And if you're done with embarrassing me

On your own you can go ahead tell them

 

Tell them all I know now

Shout it from the roof tops

Write it on the sky line

All we had is gone now

 

Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open

Tell them what I hoped would be

Impossible, impossible

Impossible, impossible

Impossible, impossible

Impossible, impossible!

"Willow Weep For Me"

 

Willow weep for me

Willow weep for me

Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea

Listen to my plea

Hear me willow and weep for me

 

Gone my lovers dream

Lovely summer dream

Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream

Sad as I can be

Hear me willow and weep for me

 

Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned

Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan

Murmur to the night to hide its starry light

So none will see me sighing and crying all alone

 

Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

 

Oh, Weeping willow tree

Weep in sympathy

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

OMG, this is depressing. The last thing I want to do is listen to music that makes me feel more heartbroken. THe way I see it is that he doesn't deserve music "dedicated" to our love that he threw away like an old shoe. Therefore, I listen to "Girls just wanna have fun" or "Just haven't met you yet". :)

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain

And ironing out the rough spots

Is the hardest part when memories remain

And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio

`Cause from the lips of some old singer

We can share the troubles we already know

Turn them on, turn them on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in and turn them on

They reach into your room

Just feel their gentle touch

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

If someone else is suffering enough to write it down

When every single word makes sense

Then it's easier to have those songs around

The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you

and it feels so good to hurt so bad

And suffer just enough to sing the blues

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say so much

Nothing Compares To You - Sinead O' Connor

 

And Elton John's 'Your Song' reminds me of a particularly poignant time, I simply cannot listen to it now, I doubt I ever will.

Today, you were far away

and I didn't ask you why

What could I say

I was far away

You just walked away

and I just watched you

What could I say?

 

How close am I to losing you?

 

Tonight, you just close your eyes

and I just watch you

slip away

 

How close am I to losing you?

 

Hey, are you awake?

Yeah, I'm right here

Well can I ask you

about today?

 

How close am I to losing you?

How close am I to losing?

Don't you ever say I just walked away, I will always want you!!!!!

Frank Ocean - Thinkin' bout you

 

A tornado flew around my room before you came

Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain

In Southern California, much like Arizona

My eyes don't shed tears, but, boy, they bawl

When I'm thinkin' 'bout you

(Ooh, no, no, no)

I've been thinkin' 'bout you

(You know, know, know)

I've been thinkin' 'bout you

Do you think about me still?

Do ya, do ya?

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh)

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh)

No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool

Enough to kick it

Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho

Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute

That's why I kiss you

Got a fighter jet, I don't get fly it, though

I'm lyin' down thinkin' 'bout you

(Ooh, no, no, no)

I've been thinkin' 'bout you

(You know, know, know)

I've been thinkin' 'bout you

Do you think about me still?

Do ya, do ya?

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh)

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Ooh)

Yes, of course

I remember, how could I forget?

How you feel?

And though you were my first time

A new feel

It won't ever get old, not in my soul

Not in my spirit, keep it alive

We'll go down this road

'Til it turns from color to black and white

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh)

Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh)
