Dr. G, hereshegrows, and joe, your all posting awesome tunes. Just about every song in this thread brings me way up...or way down. It seems to be a thread of songs with extreme lyrics. I guess that's the reality of life, as reflected by music.:)


Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

I'm off to bed, good night fellow posters...I love the tunes. Here's one from one of my favourite Canadian Artists, I'm not sure he gets much play your way. This guys really gets into his music.



Hold On I'll Be Back For You It Won't Be Long
But For Now There's Something There That's Calling Me
So Take Me Down That Lonesome Road
Point Me East And Let Me Go
This Suitcase Weighs Me Down With Memories

I Just Want To Be The One You Run To
I Just Want To Be The One You Come To
I Just Want To Be There With Someone When The Night Comes
Lets Put All Our Cares Behind Us
And Go Where They'll Never Find Us
I Just Want To Be There Beside You
When The Night Comes
When The Night Comes

Two Spirits In The Night
We Can Leave Before The Morning Light
When There's Nothing Left To Lose
And Nothing Left To Fear
So Meet Me On The Edge Of Town
Won't Keep You Waiting I'll Be Around
Then You And I Will Just Roll Right Out Of Here

I Just Want To Be The One You Run To
I Just Want To Be The One You Come To
I Just Want To Be With Someone When The Night Comes
Lets Put All Our Cares Behind Us
And Go Where They'll Never Find Us
I Just Want To Be There Beside You
When The Night Comes
When The Night Comes

I Know There Will Be A Time For You And I
Just Take My Hand And Run Away
Pick Up All The Pieces Of This Shattered Dream
We'll Make It Out Some Day
We'll Be Coming Back To Stay

I Want To Be The One You Run To
To Be The One You Come To
I Want To Be The One You Run To

I Want To Be The One You Run To
I Want To Be The One You Come To
I Just Want To Be There With Someone
When The Night Comes
Lets Put All Our Cares Behind Us
And Go Where They'll Never Find Us
I Just Want To Be There Beside You
When The Night Comes
When The Night Comes

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.

Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.

One of my favs. Hearing this on my laptops' shitty speakers makes me want to go out and blow the rest of my speakers in my truck.:bigjoint:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqmRDV0a_70


There's a shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step I take,
Making every promise empty,
Pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of "must we"
Just because the son has come.

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past is done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past is done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down.

Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but the past is done.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but the past is done.

Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
Trust me ​
[x5]

Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.

I want what I want [x4]

Pardon me
Want to live in a fantasy
Quietly
Show you everything you'll ever need
I hope you'll take it
I know you're faking just a little bit
Come on and taste it
Just get excited cause you're giving in

Come and see
How the wind in your hair will feel differently
Catch and release
The lure above

Who…

Here we are
in the bathwater overflow
Later on
Don't say I didn't tell you so
maybe i didn't but you've taken it
Knew you were faking just a little bit
Now that you've tasted
No need to fight it cause you've given in

Follow me
Down the streams of sweat on your body
Can't believe
The lure was enough

Do you see?
How the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release
The lure above
Who knows how this feeling grows?
Was it truly worth
Truly worth the starting
Who knows why the engine's blown
hope it's truly worth
Truly worth the parting

Follow me
Down the streams of sweat on your body
Can't believe
The lure was enough
Do you see?
How the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release the lure above

Guess the lure was enough
Guess the lure was enough
Yes the lure was enough

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.


And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.


I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.


And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

This is from one of the first albums I ever bought when it was on vinyl, I just about worn the record out. This song comes to the forefront of my mind right now.



"Wish You Were Here"

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

This song captures the essence of my childhood growing up on an Island in Eastern Canada. I love all kinds of music and have everything from folk to hiphop in my collection. This is one you have to take a moment, sit back, listen and chill... Hope someone can appreciate and enjoy it as much as I do.

Sonbitch!!! I got so excited when my new 'friend' calls me up a little while ago and invites me over. She says she wants me to smoke her out for 420. I drop what I'm doing and 'run' over to see her. Once there I experienced the joy of meeting her husband!:fire: I didn't know she was married!! I did notice her wearing a wedding ring, and I'm sure she has never worn that before when I saw her.:roll: At least I found out about her quickly. How can people be so cruel?:sad:

That's a terrible thing to do to someone! I can't even believe that. Forget her then~ I do love the song though. I always thought it was my theme song in life. I moved so many times in my twenties I lost count. This song seemed to fit me.

As a child, spent my summers living on a boat and cruising lake Michigan. One night we encountered a storm, and an engine caught fire. We didn't know if we would make it back to harbor on 1 engine in 15 foot seas...the mayday call went out...but we made it. Someone did a nice job with this original footage, reminds me that stormy night every time I hear the weepy guitar intro.

Great thread!

Thank you, that sounds like great advice and I will take it! On Saturday I was completly crushed. Yesterday I was just mad. Today I just got home from work and see that she left me several messages on my answering machine. It seems she thought nothing at all of telling me she was married, and much less about telling me in the manner that she did. I also doubt that her husband has any idea of her 'ways'. Her phone messages to me shall go unanswered.

I'll be hurting for a while, but this is the last song I'll post on this subject. It's a 'get your head together' song for me.:eyesmoke:

There's not much as far as lyrics to this tune, but here they are.....
