We all hear songs...read books...hear Quotes...that sink deep
into the Brain.
Sometimes we carry these words with us for our entire lives.

Musicians write songs that make us laugh,
touch us, and sometimes change the way we look at life.
And Ultimatly, how we live it.

Aristotle says that poetry is superior to history in that it shows what should or must occur, rather than merely what does occur.

so....this is The Post in which we can share a Line, a verse, or a prophetic
statement that we like...that sunk deep into our heads.

I'll start with one of my Favourites...as of recent.

Anna Nalick ~ 2 AM Breath

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to


If your not sure of the exact Lyrics of a song you are thinking of,
you will probably find it here Lyrics.com

so...let's hear what's bouncing around in your Mellon :mrgreen:
peace,
Kev.
 
When your young...

When you are young you think you know it all...and your parents know nothing. As you get older you relize their advice made pretty good sense.


When I was young, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone, so insecure,
I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong, self destruction's got me again
I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong

-SOCIAL DISTORTION

Going to see them play tomorrow night at Mac' hall, UofC. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
Imagine by John Lennon, Listining to it cryin, Great uncle tommy just died...

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No heck below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
 
totally a lyrics guy...
these are from Rich Mullins...not a rocker or a punk, but a dreamer and a poet who sometimes had more questions than answers. I miss him a bunch...RIP

You who live in heaven
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth
Who are afraid of being left by those we love
And who get hardened by the hurt
Do you remember when You lived down here where we all scrape
To find the faith to ask for daily bread
Did You forget about us after You had flown away
Well I memorized every word You said
Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
While You're up there just playing hard to get
You who live in radiance
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was
Still we do love now and then
Did You ever know loneliness
Did You ever know need
Do You remember just how long a night can get?
When You were barely holding on
And Your friends fall asleep
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
While You're up there just playing hard to get?
And I know you bore our sorrows
And I know you feel our pain
And I know it would not hurt any less
Even if it could be explained
And I know that I am only lashing out
At the One who loves me most
And after I figured this, somehow All I really need to know
Is if You who live in eternity
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time
We can't see what's ahead
And we can not get free of what we've left behind
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret I can't see how
You're leading me unless
You've led me here
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
And so You've been here all along I guess
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
 
Michael J. Fox
Nobody would choose to have a disease visited upon them. Still, Parkinson's forced me to make a fundamental life decision: adopt a siege mentality - or embark upon a life journey.

Sir Walter Scott

One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum

"The Irrationality Of Rationality"

Frank, the new CEO had to answer to the board.
The board was getting anxious, and the shareholders were
on a bed, legs in air, a**-cheeks open wide
They were about to get f***ed like it was their first time.
When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose.
What keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun?

Dan, the company man, felt loyalty to the corp.
After 16 years of service, and a family to support
He actually started to believe
the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense.
'Cause Danny had a mortgage, and a boss to answer to.
The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to.

Helen is living in her car, trying to feed her kids.
She got laid off at work, and her house was repossessed.
It's hard to think clearly when it's 38 degrees.
Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.
But when she shot that family and moved into their home,
The paper read she suffered from dementia.

"Going Nowhere"

Is this what you offer me, a system of dishonesty
where life gets measured monetarily and I'm just another face.
Another man with the simple skills of staying alive and paying the bills
never amount to anything live and die where I've always been.
This is where I am at the bills still come no matter what.
I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere.
Uneducated though I graduated,
wish I would have been a little more dedicated
and got something out of school, instead of always playing the fool.
But even if I did for just one day, had all the right words that I wanted to say,
it wouldn't make a difference anyway cause no one's listening.
So save your words, just save your words cause I don't care anymore.
My father worked his life away in all those years
he never missed a day
there isn't anybody that could say he didn't keep his bills paid.
All that time he never got to do all the things in life that he wanted to.
He always kept his family fed by the blood and sweat he shed.
And for the sacrifice he's made this is how he gets repaid.
I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere.
 
These are mine -

I would consider these some of the best lyrics and can be interpreted in a couple of different ways ~ depending on the mood you are in or the set of circumstances you are presented with.

• Wherever I May Roam

(Hetfield/Ulrich)

…And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

…And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

…And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

...And my ties are severed clean
The less I have, the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
 
pretty much ANY lyric by Reese Roper from Five Iron Frenzy, but this one is a favorite:

SPARTAN by Five Iron Frenzy

Billie Holiday on the radio
my sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow
another sad song and another shot of blue
cold and unconcerned are anything but new
He said "Love endures all things"
and it hurts to think He's right
If I mark the span of failure
is his burden just as light?

[Chorus:]
I am, Spartan
close my heart so tight
.....
Save me
from myself tonight

Limping through the world
there's a knowing look or two
is it just the cripples here
who understand the truth?
Why is love so painful
why do we always lose
paving pathways for the lost
the bitter, and recluse?
He said "Love endures all things"
and it hurts to think it's true
did it nail Him on a cross
did it crucify Him too?

The angels are singing over the plains
the shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains
And all of our slogans designed to take away the pain
meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem
 
This is one of my favorites from high school and it rings more true today than then...Kelly

MINOR THREAT lyrics - "Look Back And Laugh"


I want to tell you a little story
'Cause it makes me warm inside
It's about some friends growing up
And all the things they tried
I'm not talking about staple sh*t
They went for something more
I guess it was too much dreaming
Too much to hope for
One day something funny happened
But it scared the .... out of me
Their heads went in different directions
And their friendship ceased to be

I'm telling you I want it to work
I don't like being hurt
Something's not right inside
And I can't always put it aside
What can we do, what can we do?

Try

I guess I make it too much sh*t
Someday we'll look back and laugh

Mr. President, go away
Come back and f*** with us some other day
Mr. Feelings, run and hide
You have no right to what you feel inside
Motherf***ers, quick to kiss
Talk your sh*t, but don't f*** with this
All I want to know is
Am I holding on? Am I moving on?
What can we do, what can we do?

Try
 
"the saddest song" by Morphine

On my first day back my first day back in town
My first day my first day back in town
The clouds up above they were humming our song
Humming humming our song
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
I set my course sailed away from shore
Steady steady as she goes
I crash in the night two worlds collide
But when two worlds collide no one survives no one survives and
The reddest of reds the bluest of blues
The saddest of songs I'll sing for you and
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me come and get me in my sleep
 
coupla tid bits of wilco songs, theyre always stuck in my head

....Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird

....I'm a wheel
I will
Turn on you
