Song For Today!

[Ann Marie]

Ok...I thought this might be an idea, so I'm going with it to see how it does. If it flops, so be it. Music helped me alot, so I'm hoping this helps others get through the day.

I thought we could do a daily song that relates to how we are feeling on each day. It can be more than one as the roller coaster of emotions moves throughout the day. Just have fun with it, ok?

I'd like to try and keep it to 1 thread as I can't be trusted to keep it up on a daily basis. Got alot going on, however, it should take care of itself if it does work.

So I'll start it. Today this is how I'm feeling.....

By Bob Seger

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then

Against the wind
We were runnin against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
Ive got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
Im still runnin against the wind
Well Im older now and still
Against the wind

Cat Stevens: Father & Son

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

Somewhere in My Broken Heart     doesn't that say it all 
by    Billy Dean

You made up your mind
It was time it was over
After we had come so far.
I think there's enough pieces
Of forgiveness
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I would not have chosen
The road you have taken,
It has left us miles apart.
I think I can still find
The will to keep going,
Somewhere in my broken heart.

So goodbye, go ahead and fight it
Till you find out who you are,
And I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I hope that in time you will find
What you long for,
Love that's writen in the stars.
When you finally do,
I think you will see it
Somewhere in my broken heart

[Cam]

Don't it make my brown eyes blue ... crystal gayle

This one is for my best friend.  Yes, he is male.

NICKELBACK LYRICS

"Far Away"

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then

One of my favorite lines in all of rock and roll...

[SOTW]

Wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then

One of my favorite lines in all of rock and roll...

I'll tell ya'... some songs are just SO powerful.  Love listening to them... but hate the way they make my eyes well up.

I love all Bob S music..always have, especially this one with Martina McBride...

Bob Segar....Chances Are

Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since I've known you
It just seems you're on my way

All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you 'til morning light

Martina McBride
I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace and your style

And now you're all I long to see
You've come to mean so much to me

Both
Chances are I'll see you somewhere
In my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget

Bob Segar
Baby you're the best I've ever met

Both
And I'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side

Bob Segar
And in the morning I'll be longing for the night

Both
For the night
For the night
Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have

You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've ever met

Yes ...but thats the secret to music...it allows you to vent by way of your soul

Just go with it, cause there's always a song to change that mood when you least expect it. Sorta like.....

Tile :Reba McEntire - I'm A Survivor

I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this love's to die for
'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'
You're walkin' out and I'm not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be

Chorus:
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up, but she's just
Too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be

Repeat Chorus

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

[Stephy]

While this is not how I'm feeling today, it's relevant to what I did tonight and some of you might relate to the lyrics.  If you do, let's hope you'll turn it around, and "get back up."

Falling Down by Duran Duran

once was a man who consumed his place and time
he thought nothing could touch him
but here and now it's a different story-line
like the straws he is clutching

why has the sky turned grey?
hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
and why has my life gone astray?
scarred by disgrace I know that it?s over

   because I'm falling down
   with people standing round
   but before I hit the ground
   is there time could I find
   someone out there to help me?

howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
caught in silent slow-motion
how I wish it was somebody else instead
howling at all this corrosion

why did the luck run dry?
laugh in my face so pleased to desert me
why do the cruel barbs fly?
now when disgrace can no longer hurt me

   because I'm falling down
   with people standing round
   but before I hit the ground
   is there time could I find
   someone out there to help me?
   You see I'm falling down
   with people standing round
   but before I hit the ground
   is there time could I find
   someone out there to help me?

   because I'm falling down
   with people standing round
   but before I hit the ground
   is there time could I find
   someone out there to help me?
   You see I'm falling down
   with people standing round
   but before I hit the ground
   is there time could I find
   someone out there to help me?

I don?t know?  where to go
I don?t know?  here I go

[Someday]

I think I might have posted this a while back - but I love the lyrics - especially the trust of a woman line.

John Hiatt - Cry Love

A moment of steel
A dry-eyed house
Did he say goodbye to you
Or did you kick him out
I know youre not afraid
To go alone
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

Now whatcha gonna do
When the planet shifts
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today

Chorus:
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy, not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now whatcha gonna do
With the booze and the blush
Whatcha gonna do
When theres no rush
Cop a little misery
At the corner store
Well one day that train of pain wont stop no more

Chorus

Throwning up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love
Well whats it for?
The heart will remember
The burning fire
The next time you feel the flame
Of desire

Chorus
Chorus

Cry love, cry love, cry love

[Ann Marie]

OK..showing  my age here, but I REALLY love this song, so doing it anyway LOL...

Andy Williams
Words by Don Black and Music by John Barry

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

(Stay free, where no walls divide you)
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

Another one  for my best friend, works in unisex...lol
HINDER LYRICS

"Lips Of An Angel"

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

[Cam]

HER: They say we're young and we don't know                                              i HAD the album signed by them many decades ago and lost it .. 'dumb kid'
We won't find out until we grow
HIM: Well I don't know if all that's true                                                           i really like 'cry love' too

HER: They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
HIM: I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HIM: I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
HER: And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
HIM: Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HIM: I got you to hold my hand
HER: I got you to understand
HIM: I got you to walk with me
HER: I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so

BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

[Cam]

This is how i feel tonight .. i 'm coming out street fighting ... i've gotta chance to make it and i will ..... survive and survive well ....

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a woman and her will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your ""passion"" for "false glory"
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks her prey in the night
And she's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger (or cougar)

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks her prey in the night
And she's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a woman and her will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks her prey in the night
And she's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

'cougar woman will survive "

I know the higher your pedestal the harder the fall .... but i won't feel it until i hit bottom and i don't plan on ever hitting all the way to the bottom again ... and if i do i have proven to myself i can and will 'survive'

[Stephy]

Ok, here's how I'm feeling today.  And no, I'm not going to translate, ROFL!!    And here's a link to another song by the same band that tends to get me into the mood I'm in, LOL!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w45Qi7Nki54

Taub-stumm-blind
Lyrics ?2004 Eisbrecher

Geh nicht  bleib hier
Ich reiss mich an dir
Komm mit mir nach Haus
Treib mir den Teufel aus

So frech und ungeniert
hast du mich anvisiert
Schlaegst meine Welt entzwei
und denkst dir nichts dabei

Komm zu mir erhoer mich
Halt mich fest und sperr mich
in dein dunkles Labyrinth

Taub stumm und blind
Mach mich heiss schoenes Kind
Der letzte Tango beginnt
Taub-stumm und Blind

Geh nicht  bleib hier
Es treibt mich zu dir
Du raubst mir den Verstand
Ich fress dir aus der Hand

Komm zu mir erhoer mich
halt mich fest und sperr mich
in dein dunkles Labyrinth

Geh nicht  bleib hier
Mein herz schreit nach dir
Du weckst die Liebeslust
in meiner Heldenbrust

So wild und unzensiert
hast du mich abkassiert
Du gibst mir was ich will
Du machst es mit Gefuehl

Edited cuz the copy/paste didn't translate well onto this board, lol.
