Personally I don't know nearly as much about the truth of love as much as the chemical processes involved. Still, if the unquenchable thirst for life is real, then so must the emotion to share it... even if it all starts with a lie. _LT I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real" And i want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by? _Postal Service / Clark Gable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8YUVPZX3II

Electric Light Orchestra - Can't Get It Out Of My Head Midnight on the water I saw the ocean's daughter Walking on a wave's chicane Staring as she called my name And I can't get it out my head No I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Breakdown on the shoreline Can't move, it's an ebb tide Morning don't get here tonight Searching for her silver light And I can't get it out my head No I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Bank job in the City Robin Hood and William Tell And Ivanhoe and Lancelot They don't envy me Sitting till the sun goes down In dreams the world keeps going round and round And I can't get it out my head No I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Written by Jeff Lynne...

Heard a bitchin' cover of this by Muse today that just rocked-got me to thinking-these could be the theme lyrics for a Switch...or CollarMe :-) Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I Travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJE_Sc1Wags

Coral reefs have their ways of just sinking ships And all the fish with sharp teeth wait for it Lifeless bodies live among debris For all of the ugly gulls to see We'd still be alive If devils knew how to fly All weightless and we'd float But on the ocean they choke They'll just swallow us up into tiny bits I swear it looks worse than it really is Strange worlds I thought Would never show their face But now I'm feeling we should never leave this place We'd still be alive If devils knew how to fly All weightless and we'd float But on the ocean they choke Sure, we know how to swim But sometimes it's best to give in We'll hold our breath now, forever And hope for the best "The Calypso" Cave-In

All you wordy people. When I was a boy, my sister grabbed all the words, I grabbed all the music. I never understood it when she or another said "I don't like that song, because they said ... etc.." I was too busy listening to the music, and my better ears and innate musical sensibilities were attuned to that. I couldn't understand even half the words when I was a boy, or even now, my ears hijacking such attempt, to their own purpose. The last movements of Ravel's 'Ma mère l'oye' or Debussy's 'La Mer' make me lie on the floor and wonder what happened. But what is it with all this French? I don't know, it's just what came to mind.

LillyBoPeep -> RE: A moment of musical clarity. (1/26/2012 11:34:28 PM)
For me, it's both - I can relate to something lyrical, but I do also get really caught up in musical things. This thread is for lyrics, though, so I can't post the way I feel listening to Joshua Bell playing Praeludium and Allegro, though I did post a link to I somewhere back there. I love when a chord progression gives you chills, or a phrase makes you lose track of time. And the conntrasts in character in an instrumental piece when the same phrase is played in different sections. It's like listening to the sounds of people talking. Or even the nuances of bodies performing the same movement, but in their own way. No two 3/4 shimmies look alike. :p

In any event, attempting to contribute to the subject as others here are, I like the ELO mention earlier, "Can't Get It Out Of My Head." The time change coming out of the middle is cute and clever, and the 'anthemic' nature of the song is appealing too. Just one of those melodies that does the trick. Here's one from Melanie Safka, though I've had from previous experience here that her background singers are not to everyone's taste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf5PnEEmOTw The intro is wonderful, and then the background guys singing the "yeah yeah yeah yeah" on the 2, 3, 4, 1, then the "yeah yeah" on the following 3, 4, then same on the following 2, 3. You see how my mind works in this stuff, now. That was just 'killer' for me at the time. (of course, all the guys and ladies coming in later are wonderful too. Melanie ain't shabby either). Oh well, that's just how it works here, and the song is fun for me. PS Oops, I almost forgot; Ring the living bell Ring the living bell Shine the living light Shine the living light Ring the living bell Ring the living bell I've been celebrating way too long And I've been drinking I'm ashamed to tell Still feel thirsty God I want to drink the water from the well Still feel thirsty God I want to drink and ring the living bell Ring the bell Ring the living bell Still feel thirsty God I want to give and ring the living bell I'm not a magic lady But I want to sing to help the light Descend on the earth today Because it's gonna get dark tonight Sing for light Sing for living light Still feel weak but God I want to give and shine the living light Still feel weak but God I want to give and shine the living light Been walking down the street all night And I've been feeling kinda cold Still feel naked God I wanna be warm Before I get old And I'm cold When I'm feeling cold Still feel hungry God I want to give and ring the living bell Still feel hungry God I want to live and ring the living bell Been celebrating way too long And I have eaten much too well Still feel hungry God I want to give and ring the living bell Ring the bell Ring the living bell Still feel hungry God I want to give and ring the living bell Still feel hungry God I want to give and ring the living bell Still feel hungry God I want to give and ring the living bell Ring the living bell. Melanie Safka

Just following the spirit of the thread starter... quote: ORIGINAL: LastThoughts I think everyone has instances in time where some random song clip would best describe the current moment. . . at least I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. So I thought I'd create a forum post and see who else says, "Hey, that reminds of this song!" (Please: Keep the postings limited to just the most relevant aspect of the tune.) So, in relevance to this first posting I submit the following: He says, "Son, can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete. -Billy Joel / Piano Man _LT

Yeah thanks.

quote: ORIGINAL: Edwynn Yeah thanks. Grins. That said, I've posted links to instrumentals in the past-there are days when they fit the mood far better than any lyric ever could :-)

Hitting back on the Neil, cuz he is the man... "I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away."
