list 100 songs that break and ease my heart and comment on the reasons why

Sound of Silence- Simon and Garfunkel
“Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.”

55. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqsyXdj_p_I
No Surprises- by Radiohead.
It’s gotten pretty wide recognition for being one of the saddest songs…

“A heart that’s full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won’t heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don’t, they don’t speak for us.
I’ll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please. “

49. “As the World Falls Down” David Bowie/Trevor Jones- there’s something very somber about this tune. It represents a longing and disappointment. Something unfulfilled.

50. “Stranger in Moscow” Michael Jackson- “How does it feel…When you’re alone and you’re cold inside…” I don’t think that needs any explaining.

51. “Within You and Without You” Beatles- This eases the heart simply because you get a perspective that the world is bigger than you!

52. “The Gardener” Dresden Dolls
It is a very unsettling song, about the loss of something innocent and pure to something tainted and ugly.

53. “Everythings Everything” Horrorpops
“I don’t want to let you go.” It’s that sitting still and not moving forward from an infatuation or love or whatever gone sour.

54. “Waltz (Better Than Fine)” Fiona Apple
Waltz that is relatively upbeat, and takes a positive outlook. Her voice is very calming in this. When listening to this song, you get a sense that there has been pain she has had to deal with, but she has dealt with it.

47.) “What’s a Girl to Do?” -Bat for Lashes
And when he asked me “do you still love me?” I had to look away.
...
When you’ve loved so long, that the thrill is gone and your kisses at night are replaced with tears.

This song seems to get at the core of love addiction, too. Love isn’t always about thrills.

48.) Tymps (The Sick in the Head Song)- Fiona Apple
The red isn’t the red we painted… it’s just… rust.
So why did I kiss him so hard late last Friday night, and keep on letting him change all my plans. I’m either so sick in the head I need be bled dry to quit… or I just really used to love him. I sure hope that’s it.

“Every day is exactly the same” NIN
=( It has a good background though. For a while it was a theme song… “sometimes it hurts to pretend. i can’t remember how this got started, but I can tell you exactly how this will end… every day is exactly the same. There is no love here, and there is no pain. Every day is exactly the same.”
Ugh.

I have just 25 left

3. Nothing Better by the Postal Service
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmaEYrmrY4I

“Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That your’re deserting for better company?
I can’t accept that it’s over…
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear i’ll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

I feel must interject here you’re getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I’ve made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I’ve prepared a lecture on why i have to leave

So please back away and let me go
I can’t my darling i love you so…

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
Don’t you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won’t heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear
I’ll never wrong you again
You’ve got a lure i can’t deny,
But you’ve had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye”

the story of my first love. and my only love. and my current love. i’ve caved then, of course… but i remember falling asleep to this song, thinking of what he said to me a few hours before that over the internet. even though we went to the same school, our relationship stayed online. he told me he loved me passionately, but he loved someone else. i resisted but not completely.

4. teenage dirtbag by Wheatus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jJWQkVgDs4

“Her name is Noelle
I have a dream about her
she rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour

Oh how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But she doesn’t know who I am
And she doesn’t give a damn about me

Cause I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me
Ooohoooooo

Her boyfriend’s a dick
he brings a gun to school
And he’d simply kick
My ass if he knew the truth
He lives on my block
He drives an IROC
But he doesn’t know who I am
And he doesn’t give a damn about me…

Cause i’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
Yeah i’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
listen to Iron Maden baby
Ooohoooooo

Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn’t know what she’s missing.
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn’t know what she’s missing.

Man I feel like mold
It’s prom night and I am lonely.
>>>>Lo<<<< and behold
she’s walking over to me.

This must be fake
My lips starts to shake
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?

she says,
I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
Come with me Friday – don’t say maybe.
I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
like you
Ooohoo Hoo Hooooooo

Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn’t know what she’s missing.
Oh yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn’t know what she’s missing…YYYYEEEEEEEEEHHHH”

The first time I heard this song was on that networking site with vampire in the name… she was the most popular girl on there, too. this was at the beginning of the emo era, and i was so into techno. i just remember being so alone.

5. Get a Clue by Simon and Milo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn2M35paJq4

“I got a little hunch that there is something goin on now
The clothes I bought the friends I got my teacher had a melt-down
Then I look at me and I start to see and a voice inside tells me what I must do
Wake-up Who knew? It’s me, It’s you…...Get a clue
It’s there inside of you

—Oh yeah…That’s right

Get a clue…..there’s nothin you can do
Nothing’s ever quite what it seems
Just look a little closer at me
Wake-up Who knew? It’s me, It’s you…...Get a clue

(Milo)—That’s the way it goes now

Did you ever see the world around you change before your eye-ees
The people you ignore before they took you by surpri-ies
Then you look at me and I start to see that something happens when I’m next to
you
Wake-up Who knew? It’s me, It’s you…...Get a clue
It’s there inside of you

—Oh yeah…That’s right

Get a clue…..there’s nothin you can do
Nothing’s ever quite what it seems
Just look a little closer at me
Wake-up Who knew? It’s me, It’s you…...Get a clue

—Oh yeah…That’s right

(Milo)—That’s the way it goes now

—Oh yeah…That’s right

The first one came on a Tuesday afternoon when I first saw you
The next one came to my surprise when I found out what I had to do
Take a photograph of me hang it in a gallery sit around and watch TV
I turn around and then you look at me, Ya Ya

—Oh yeah…That’s Right

I got a little hunch that there is something goin on now
The clothes I bought the friends I got my teacher had a melt-down
Then I look at me and I start to see
And a voice inside tells me what I must do-oo-oo-oo
Get a clue…..it’s there inside of you

—Oh yeah…That’s right

Get a clue…..there’s nothin you can do
Nothing’s ever quite what it seems
Just look a little closer at me

Wake-up Who knew? It’s me, It’s you…...Get a clue
—Oh yeah… That’s right

Get a clue
—Oh yeah… That’s right

Wake-up Who knew? It’s me It’s you…...Get a clue
—Oh yeah… That’s right

(Milo)—That’s the way it goes now
—Oh yeah… That’s right

Wake-up Who knew? It’s me It’s you…..........
Get a clue”

My friend showed me this song, in the dark, at her house when i was in sixth grade. i had some horrible, terrifying, times with her. and i get such a weird feeling from this pop song. and i don’t know why. also, the depiction of the lead singer really freaks me out or something. i get all tingly. scary fake anime.

6. I Miss You by Blink 182
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYEM68HIm0Y

“(I miss you miss you)
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in backround of the morgue
The unsespecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we’ll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we’ll wish this never ends
We’ll wish this never end

Where are you and I’m so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting everytime
And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight

Don’t waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head(6x)

I miss you miss you(6x)”

My parents bought me the Blink 182 CD for Christmas when I was in seventh grade. I listened to it so many times, and this song haunted me. TT^TT It makes me so sad.

Not About Love – Fiona Apple

This doesn’t ease my heart, but it gets me up in arms. It makes me feel as though “Hell yeah, I can stand on my own two feet without your shadow following me around.” It also reminds me of what love should feel like.

“And it doesn’t make sense
I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pISDNs_Pa-w

“Wake up
My love
Never thought you’d make me, break me
Now I’m up from below
Such a brilliant star you are
And will your love keep burning baby
Burn a hole right through my eyes
All these short times feel like no time
I thought you ought to know

I’m so far gone now I been running on empty
I’m so far gone now
Do you wanna take me on? [x2]

Do, Do you, Do you know?
Do you know how long I’ve waited?
To look up from below,
Just to find someone like you?
And will your love light burn me baby?
Burn a hole right through my heart
I think I might just trust you, maybe
But I’m not sure
I’m not sure I wanna know

I’m so far gone now I been running on empty
I’m so far gone now
Do you wanna take me on?

I’m so far gone now I been running on empty
I’m so far gone now
Do you wanna take me on? [x2]

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
I think you could make me girl
Could make me and take my life
I know you could break me girl
Take all of me
All of me, yeah hey

Wake up
My love
Never thought you’d make me, break me
Now I’m up from below
Such a brilliant star you are

I’m so far gone now I been running on empty
I’m so far gone now
Do you wanna take me on?

I’m so far gone I been running on empty
I’m so far gone now
Do you wanna take me on? [x2]”

My ex boyfriend told me it reminded me of him.
It’s always made me sad. ><
“Such a brilliant star you are” is what he told me.

“When you walk away
You don’t hear me say please
Oh baby, don’t go
Simple and clean is the way that you’re making me feel tonight
It’s hard to let it go

You’re giving me too many things
Lately you’re all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don’t get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you’ll understand
What I meant when I said “No,
I don’t think life is quite that simple”

...

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn’t scare me at all
Nothing’s like before”

The song from Kingdom Hearts… I used to play this game with my best friend (though we’ve long since grown apart) and my little sister, sitting on top of my bunk bed from the morning to the middle of the night. We did that all fifth and sixth grade, back when I used to live in the trailer park. We would rewatch the opening sequence over and over and over again.
