    Seasons of Love from the Broadway Musical RENT 7 months ago

    I love this song because it’s just about living in the moment and loving those around you for every moment you have them. It’s got this amazing gospel music sound to it that is very uplifting. One of the best Broadway opening numbers ever.

    Who Knew by Pink 7 months ago

    This song reflects fears I have of losing someone close to me…which is all I feel I can really say about it.

    You took my hand
    You showed me how
    You promised me you’d be around
    Uh huh
    That’s right
    I took your words
    And I believed
    In everything
    You said to me
    Yeah huh
    That’s right

    If someone said three years from now
    You’d be long gone
    I’d stand up and punch them out
    Cause they’re all wrong
    I know better
    Cause you said forever
    And ever
    Who knew

    Remember when we were such fools
    And so convinced and just too cool
    Oh no
    No no
    I wish I could touch you again
    I wish I could still call you friend
    I’d give anything

    When someone said count your blessings now
    ‘fore they’re long gone
    I guess I just didn’t know how
    I was all wrong
    They knew better
    Still you said forever
    And ever
    Who knew

    Yeah yeah
    I’ll keep you locked in my head
    Until we meet again
    Until we
    Until we meet again
    And I won’t forget you my friend
    What happened

    If someone said three years from now
    You’d be long gone
    I’d stand up and punch them out
    Cause they’re all wrong and
    That last kiss
    I’ll cherish
    Until we meet again
    And time makes
    It harder
    I wish I could remember
    But I keep
    Your memory
    You visit me in my sleep
    My darling
    Who knew

    Losing My Religion by REM 7 months ago

    Just another song that reflects my life. I grew up in the LDS church and have every ounce of my faith in organized religion stripped away from me. Religion is lost for me and so is my sense of community and belonging, and it’s something I won’t ever get back. But I’ve come to terms with it – I still have my spirituality, just not organized religion.

    Oh, life is bigger
    It’s bigger than you
    And you are not me
    The lengths that I will go to
    The distance in your eyes
    Oh no, I’ve said too much
    I set it up

    That’s me in the corner
    That’s me in the spotlight, I’m
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don’t know if I can do it
    Oh no, I’ve said too much
    I haven’t said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try

    Every whisper
    Of every waking hour I’m
    Choosing my confessions
    Trying to keep an eye on you
    Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
    Oh no, I’ve said too much
    I set it up
    Consider this
    Consider this
    The hint of the century
    Consider this
    The slip that brought me
    To my knees failed
    What if all these fantasies
    Come flailing around
    Now I’ve said too much
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try

    But that was just a dream
    That was just a dream

    But that was just a dream
    Try, cry, why try?
    That was just a dream
    Just a dream, just a dream
    Dream

    How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths 7 months ago

    I think because I am a “grass is greener” type person, you could say this song is the anthem of my life. I want things to happen now, but I keep waiting around for them…

    I am the son
    and the heir
    of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
    I am the son and heir
    of nothing in particular

    You shut your mouth
    how can you say
    I go about things the wrong way
    I am human and I need to be loved
    just like everybody else does

    I am the son
    and the heir
    of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
    I am the son and the heir
    of nothing in particular

    You shut your mouth
    how can you say
    I go about things the wrong way
    I am human and I need to be loved
    just like everybody else does

    There’s a club if you’d like to go
    you could meet somebody who really loves you
    so you go, and you stand on your own
    and you leave on your own
    and you go home, and you cry
    and you want to die

    When you say it’s gonna happen “now”
    well, when exactly do you mean?
    see I’ve already waited too long
    and all my hope is gone

    You shut your mouth
    how can you say
    I go about things the wrong way
    I am human and I need to be loved
    just like everybody else does

    Somewhere Only We Know by Keane 7 months ago

    I just feel something when I hear this song. And maybe not even that it’s just about a certain actual place, but maybe that state of mind with someone where you understand them and they understand you and your souls can embrace. To me, it’s about going home to something familiar and comforting even when everything could just be gone.

    I walked across, an empty land
    I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
    I felt the earth, beneath my feet
    Sat by the river and it made me complete
    Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
    I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
    So tell me when, you’re gonna let me in
    I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

    I came across, a fallen elm tree,
    I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
    Is this the place, we used to love?
    Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?

    Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
    I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
    So tell me when, you’re gonna let me in
    I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
    So if you have a minute why don’t we go
    Talk about it somewhere only we know?
    This could be the end of everything
    So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know
    Somewhere only we know.

    Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
    I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
    So, tell me when you gonna let me in
    I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
    So if you have a minute why don’t we go
    Talk about it somewhere only we know?
    This could be the end of everything.
    So why don’t we go, so why don’t we go.

    This could be the end of everything
    So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know,
    Somewhere only we know
    Somewhere only we know.



    Don't stop me now - Queen 10 months ago

    On one of the worst days of my life, the Uni summer ball where I was insulted, sworn at, put down and betrayed, by my friend, my brother, and my girlfriend…all for wanting to take care of a friend who was on her own, Queen was there for me…

    In fact, it was a Queen tribute band…Anyway…I was walking round the big happy celebration, on my own, holding back tears and I had no idea that i’d walked onto the dancefloor. Something happened to me…The music lifted me and I pushed my way to the front of the crowd and I’ll be damned if I didn’t put my arm round the guy next to me and sing until my throat was raw.

    Long live the Queen



    Sounds like a great idea 10 months ago

    If nothing else, this will be my little tribute to the artists who have improved my life in ways that its hard to comprehend.

    I think I did this better in a different goal and it won’t let me delete it.

    Banky - My Regret 17 months ago

    After my boo, Matt, got out of Juvie he had been flirting with my bestfriend. I got really upset and angry and we got into our first fight. He finally came around and apoligized and told me to listen to this song. He sang this to me on the phone too, it was really cute.

    Lyrics:
    Something on my chest
    I got something to say
    Girl, Listen
    It’s too late now, still I’ve got something to say
    Girl I’m sorry that I treated you that way
    Time has gone now, and the moment has passed
    When I had the chance to try and make us last
    All alone now, and it’s no one’s fault but mine
    Couldn’t see the truth, I had those blinded eyes
    You have moved on, still I don’t give a damn
    Gotta get this off my chest while I can
    (How… I… need… you… more…and more… will… you
    Come…back… to…me… please?)
    Every single hour,
    Of every single day, I
    Miss you more and more,
    Don’t know what to say, I
    Know I closed the door,
    You’re gone and on your way
    But now, I need you, I need you…
    Wanna take it back to the day when we first met,
    If I could, I’d start all over again…
    Our love is My Regret
    Should have known then, what I know now…
    Dying every second that you’re not around
    Should have been there, when you needed me…
    Now I’m by myself, on my bended knees
    Should have loved you, while I had the chance to…
    Couldn’t realize that you were the truth
    Should have shown you, what you meant to me…
    Baby now I see, that you were my queen
    (How… I… need… you… more…and more… will… you
    Come…back… to…me… please?)
    Every single hour,
    Of every single day, I
    Miss you more and more,
    Don’t know what to say, I
    Know I closed the door,
    Sent you on your way
    And now you’re gone…
    Wanna take it back to the place where we first met,
    If I could, I’d start all over again…
    Our love is My Regret
    Wanna take it back to the day when we first met,
    If I could, I’d start all over again…
    Our love is My Regret

    Scars by… someone awesome, IDK but the song is about how he tried his best to help a girl and save her from herself and that is what I’ve been trying to do with a guy I know. I just feel good that I can relate.
