What’s your song line that touches your soul most at the moment?
(please: just SIX lines per person)
I’ll start with Anastacia’s “Everything burns”:
“But she will sing…
‘Till everything burns, while everyone screams,
Burning their lies, burning my dreams,
All of this hate, and all of this pain,
I’ll burn it all down, as my anger rains,
‘Till everything burns…”

“Said the past is dead,
the life i had is gone.
Said i wont give up,
untill i see the sun.
Hold me now,
’til the fear is leaving”
Hold me now- red
would be gr8 if you’d write the Singer/Song writer..
its red. thats the name of the band/singer
This particular verse from Chance by Big Country:
“Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime’s romance
And the price was far too long”
“One” by U2:
“Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot
You gave me nothing,
Now it’s all I got…”
Sorry if this comes through a billion times, I am not trying to spam you I promise, I’ve attempted suicide several times and pray that I’ll die, quickly, almost everyday. I think it’s me being selfish and only focusing on my internal feelings which are what they are. If that is why you are here, this is a good link for you, this website helps TREMENDOUSLY, check it out and then come and listen to the music on this website. http://suicideproject.org/
Music pulls me away from all of that. It keeps me here. It makes me whole and centered and it pushes me back into the current of life.
It’s my pulse.
It’s my joy.
It’s the only thing that’s easy.
It’s the only thing that never fails.
It’s all of who I am.
And yes there is shit that surrounds the music industry that’s not cool, just like any other human endeavor we manage to take something perfect and profound and trivialize it and ruin it with greed and iniquity.
But stripping away all of that bullshit, at its fundamental core, music is all of me.
Here are several songs that have helped me over the last year.
And yes I know that someone will see this and someone will not like the music and perhaps someone will so good for you either way.
I was writing this blog post and went came here to double check that I had the url right to recommend this site on my blog, and the first link I saw was this one.
SO FREAKING AWESOME RIGHT???!!!?!?!
So my post had a link to the music I recommended and I think it got posted twice and it hasn’t come through so long story short,
My Chemical Romance, Radiohead, Portishead, Dead Weather and everything that Third Man Records does, Lana Del Rey, pretty much all hip hop, Talib Kweli, Florence and the Machine, god is there anything I dislike really. I mean aside from truly bad music. And I don’t think I like Jazz. It’s ok.
Living In The Eye of The Storm by Trapt
numb, surrounded by a violent force
Inside, fighting through a deepening war
I need something to hold on to
To get me through living in the eye of the storm
I’m watching hopeful hearts breaking
I’m watching lovers turn to enemies
All the memories fading
We forget the ones we really need
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
If I only knew the answer…
If I change my way of living
And If I pave my streets with good times
Will the mountain keep on giving
And if all of our days are numbered,
Then why do I keep counting
from ‘Why Do I Keep Counting?’ by The Killers
Jailed in the walls of my gloomy pressures
Loose my confidence in my own existence
And can’t get me out
And million doubts, in unwritten letters
Perish all the hopes to escape
The tighten rope
And all of my frantic endeavours
Always just flowing into
Nothingness
from ‘Nothingness’ by Scream Silence
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll be.
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life,
I know you’ll be a sun in somebody elses sky, but why
Why, why can’t it be, can’t it be mine
Pearl Jam – Black
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
