Share your greatest song or lyric???

[Touch Of Death]

Heres a good peice of Lyric by Jim Morrison: "I Know your deepest secret fear"... I love that one.

 

[MA-Caver]

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song nor ever un-appreciate what the lyrics are saying.
.... I'm still running.

Time:
Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: Dark Side Of The Moon

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

I love Beck. The wry humor, often tinged with irony, in his songs just really makes me smile. This one in particular:

Debra,
Beck from Midnight Vultures

(Oh yeah, come on)
I met you at JC Penny
I think your nametag said Jenny
I cool step to you
With a fresh pack of gum
Somehow I knew you were looking for some
(oh no!)

Like a fruit that's ripe for the picking'
I wouldn't do you like that
Zankou Chicken
'Cause only you got a thing
That I just got to get with
I just got to get
Get with you
And you know what we're gonna do

I wanna get with you (Oh girl)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra
I wanna get with you (Only you girl)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra

Girl, I only wanna be down with you
'Cause you got something
That I just got to get with
I'll pick you up late at night after work
I said lady, Step inside my Hyundai
I'm gonna take up to Glendale
Yeah

I'm gonna take you for a feel-good meal
'Cause when our eyes did meet
Girl, you know I was packing' heat
Ain't no use in wasting no time
Getting to know each other
You know the deal
'Cause only you got a thing
That I just got to get with
Got to get with
I just got to get with you girl

I wanna get with you (Only you Girl)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra
I wanna get with you (Girl yeah)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra (Ohhhh)

(Come on)
Oh lovely lady
Girl you drive me crazy
Crazy! (Oh girl)
And you sister
Debra

(Yeah)
Cause I'm a full grown man
And I'm
Not afraid to...

Since this thread is revived... This is mine latley...

"Teachers" - Sisters of Mercy (based on the Leonard Cohen song)

I met a man who lost his mind in some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said, but he walked behind
I walked into a hospital where none were sick and none was well,
When at night the Sisters left, I could not walk at all.

Some girls wander by mistake into the mess that scalpels make.

Are you the teachers of my heart?
"We teach old hearts to break."

A met a woman long ago, her hair the black the black can go

Are you the teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered, "No."

I met a girl across the sea,
Her hair the gold that gold could be.

Are you the teacher of the heart?
"Yes, but not for thee."

I spent my hatred every place, on every work, on every face

Is my passion perfect?
"No! Do it once again."

Oh teachers are my lessons done? I cannot do another one,

They laughed and laughed and laughed and said,
"Child are your lessons done?"

I was handsome, I was strong, I knew the words of every song

Did my singing please you?
"No, the words you sang were wrong."

 

[kaizasosei]

i am she who is weak,
and i am well in a pleasant place

i am a mute that does not speak
and great is the multitude of my words

Barracuda of course by Heart Ann and Nancy Wilson man thise where Babes at one time.

 

[Sukerkin]

I quite agree.

I remember to this day the first time I heard "Barracuda" at a party in my mid-teen years. Wonderful ... then I got the album and saw that they looked as lovely as their music sounded .

Sadly, I have to confess that it is Britain that was responsible for Ann's ... erm ... enlargement. She discovered Newcastle Brown and Wrights Pies .

Ahh, great choice.. and I always liked the feel of Crystal Ship..

Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss. Another flashing chance at bliss..
​

I love Beck. The wry humor, often tinged with irony, in his songs just really makes me smile. This one in particular:

Debra,

Great choice too.. and if you are a Beck fan I would share with you and know you would like if you can find it, a little song called "Songs of Love" by Divine Comedy and not the Ben Folds version which was not the original.. J

Nice! Thanks! Though I prefer Fight Song meself I think.. J

I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exist.. I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a ****
​

That reminds me of Six by Mansun - bet you have never heard of them!! Indie not metal so I am sure they are not on your shelf, ha! .. but go ahead and widen your horizons

And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity
Did you see the way I cowered to authority
You see, my life, it's a series of compromises anyway
It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see

"Teachers" - Sisters of Mercy (based on the Leonard Cohen song)

Good lyric.. Of course I wonder why? Ahh Sisters of Mercy.. I was more of a Mission fan..

She's got her head in the clouds..
She's got the stars in her eyes.. And she's dancing with a dream in her heart ...
​

Ahh, super stuff.

I quite agree.

Heart?? Hmmmm.. maybe.. Not a bit, um, basic though?? Or was it not the music you were interested in?? Ah, now Kate Bush? Intelligent, clever lyrics, beautiful and haunting.. Mmmm, yes please Jenna

 

[Sukerkin]

No, I heard the music first and only found out later how beautiful the sisters were :lol:.

Their tunes from the seventies are the embodiment of what electric folk/rock should be i.e. clean, structured, melodies with the various strands balanced and harmonised.

Nowadays everything is overproduced and too cluttered. Part of music, like any art, is the spaces 'between'.

Modern metal is wall-to-wall noise to my aged ears, in large part because there are no 'silences', no shape to the melody and no 'character' to the playing. I can listen to rock from earlier decades and probably tell you in short order who the guitarist was because they sounded different and had their own style. I couldn't do that now - oh dear, I appear to have grown old :O.

Ah yes, true, in part! But the modern metal ballad is no self-contradicting statement my friend! Here, have a swizz of the lovely Stone Sour.. outta the ashes of Slipknot and tell me what you think!

And here is another with a little more kick and but still sung with passion as always SOAD..

And best for last.. go on Suke, tell me this is not just the best.. OK, maybe not so much "metal" as proper rock.. Audioslave, wow, Chris Cornell is just the, um, biz, ahem.. ha! And but irrespective.. listen to the choon, the lyric, meaning (wow, never better) and the passion.. brilliant

Ok, I take your point.. not so much "white space" as they say in graphic terms. But you gotta admit.. good, no??
Hope you like Jenna

 

[Live True]

ah...kate bush...I just re-bought one of her albums for songs for my "baby cd"...lol....but yes, I love her sense of humour and ethereal sound...although I have found I have to be in the mood for her, as sometimes she's simply too high pitched for pleasure....lol

 

[Sukerkin]

I don't want to de-rail this thread into a general discussion on music, so I'll answer Jenna via the Friends chat channel.

Hey Shana Yes, her older stuff was a little squeaky, Wuthering Heights and stuff.. I would recommend her last LP Aerial you will be able to lift lots oa choons for your little baby CD I promise! Oh and check the Placebo version of Running Up That Hill.. So heartfelt.. http://www.last.fm/music/Placebo/_/Running+Up+That+Hill

If I only could make a deal with God, I'd get him to swap our places..

Hey MA-Caver, ahh, the one with the clocks.. I knew that rang a bell, teehee.. And do you take that as a downbeat song?? Do you not think it has a get-off-yo-***-and-do-something kind of theme? Maybe not.. I guess it is a glass-half-empty or half-full question.. Me? All I need is two half-empty glasses and I am happy I did like David Gilmour On an Island though not too jam packed with lyrics was it.. but pretty chilled for Sunday mornings..

[Sukerkin]

Have a listen to Gilmours self-titled first solo album for some excellent songs. Probably my favourite guitarist of all time and certainly the creator of the greatest (short) guitar solo of all time in Comfortably Numb.

Hey Suke Man you been here all day and you still have not given me your cool lyric that goes with your mood Right Here, Right Now, Here Comes The Rain Again, London Calling, In The Evening, picture yourself on a boat on a river.. hey cheer me up Suke! It is my birthday today, I am 27 and I am wondering what is happening! Jenna

 

[Sukerkin]

I didn't know that, Jenna! Joyeux anniversaire, fair lady :hugs:.

A lyric for my mood now?

Hmmm ... a bit embarassing for an old biker like me but this Hilary Duff song, "Shine" is one that actually says how I feel about my missus and she's just come back from visiting her dad in hospital, so:

"Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see right through the haze

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes (shine on me today)
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today"

Hey Suke Thank you for sharing. There is nothing embarrassing bout diversity in what you like no sir.. I am listening while I type and that is a smashing little choon and I appreciate what it means and which is a far greater thing than the goodness of fit with our own stereotypes I think.. And so thank you again

And here is another one I can hardly hear without a tear I do not know why..

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 when darkness comes, and pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
​

And for the birthday wishes thank you my friend I have a smile
Jenna

It's just come to my attention that I have been remiss in my duties of congratulating Jenna on her birthday! Happy Birthday Jenna! artyon:

Um....favorite song for my current mood?

It's the one currently playing on my myspace:

"The Curse" by Disturbed. Go have a listen and here's the lyrics:

Marked for demolition, I'm
Just a time bomb ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless,
I can see the pieces all laid out in front of me

No point even asking why
Couldn't help even if you tried
Step aside or you might just
be the next contestant
To feel the Brutality!

Devastation, Obliteration
Are on to the point of Exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation,
Now why does this **** keep happening to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

Too dark for forgiveness, I
Can't seem to do anything right
When I try to rebuild I see my humble shelter
Just fall to the ground again

Object of an evil eye,
No point to let anyone try
Take heed my friend lest you be torn asunder
Like all that's become of me

Decimation, Disintegration
Now beyond the point of imagination,
There's no explaining my situation
Now why does this **** keep happening to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

I'm just at that point right now where the problems look bigger than they are but are all in my face at once and I'm finally just like, "you know what? **** It, they're on my left, they're on my right, they're in front of me and they're behind me--THEY CAN'T GET AWAY THIS TIME.
