[Strangersagain]

If you had to pick one song that described you the best what would it be?

 

Personaly I feel Behind Blue Eyes, is my personal theme. By The Who,

 

"No one knows what it's like To be the bad man

To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To

telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems

to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No

one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you

No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show

through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I

have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist

clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell

me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool If I swallow anything

evil Put your finger down my throat If I shiver, please give me a blanket

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the

bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes"

 

I have a few guesses for instance for Comicality Id say "We Only Come Out at Night" by The Smashing Pumpkins, or perhaps or "Tonight, Tonight" by the same band, wich is wierd because AFAIK he might not like The Smashing Pumpkins.

 

So whats yours?

 

P.S. who knew Fred Dersch could sing, his version of Behind Blue Eyes, shows he can. Go figgure. And Strangers, my original name came from a song, ten points to the person who guesses the band, and significance.

For now i would have to say at the end by L'ame immortelle.

 

 

Trodden paths they seem outdated

Too many reasons I have stated

The path divides, I have to decide

A new life, a new way to stride

 

Hollow eyes are watching me

Tell me which way to go

do not believe the fading footsteps

In this winter's snow

 

Hear the thunders coming down

Dreams of forbidden lands where I do drown

Here at the hilltop proud I stand

A new beginning at the end

 

Trees that have seen many ages

I hear them speak to me

Moving forward, hide away

The consequence is hard to see

 

Reflecting 'bout what might be

A life of lust and restlessness

Or full of love, and warm retreat

The goods I currently possess

 

Hear the thunders coming down

Dreams of forbidden lands where I do drown

Here at the hilltop proud I stand

A new beginning at the end.

 

I feel it fits where i stand right now in leading the life i want and the one i have to in order to have a home.

Ethan: I wish that Rhapsody had that song - looks like a good one!

 

As for me, maybe Absolutely Bill's Modd from TMBG?

 

I was born in a lighthouse, my mother was the sea

I crawled to school each morning, when it occured to me

That life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see

And this is what it said to me

 

My room is comfortably small

With rubber lining the walls

And there's someone always calling my name

He calls when I'm alone

And he calls when I'm not home

And he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain

I'm insane

I'm insane

I'm insane

I'm insane

 

Now listen all you swingers, don't you try to tag along

I know monkey see, but monkey's dead, for you it would be wrong

Put a dime in my jukebox, you'll only hear this song

And it won't be fun for long

 

Because my room is comfortably small

With rubber lining the walls

And there's someone always calling my name

He calls when I'm alone

And he calls when I'm not home

And he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain

I'm insane

I'm insane

I'm insane

I'm insane

 

Thank you

Thank you

 

My room is comfortably small

With rubber lining the walls

And there's someone always calling my name

He calls when I'm alone

And he calls when I'm not home

And he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain

I'm insane

I'm insane

I'm insane

I'm insane

I think the song that say's it best for Rainbow and myself is How Deep is your Love by the Bee Gees.

 

Mike Sanchez :sword:

 

How Deep is Your Love

 

(Bee Gees)

 

I know your eyes in the morning sun

I feel you touch me in the pouring rain

And the moment that you wander far from me

I wanna feel you in my arms again

 

And you come to me on a summer breeze

Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave

And it's me you need to show ....

 

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?)

I really need to learn

'Cause we're living in a world of fools

Breaking us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me

 

I believe in you

You know the door to my very soul

You're the light in my deepest darkest hour

You're my saviour when I fall

And you may not think

I care for you

When you know down inside

That I really do

And it's me you need to show ....

 

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?)

I really need to learn

'Cause we're living in a world of fools

Breaking us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me

 

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?)

I really need to learn

'Cause we're living in a world of fools

Breaking us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me

 

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?) ......

From time to time we all have doubts I guess, and this one comes to mind. It's by Greg Lake of ELP from the album WORKS Volume 1

[Ibsu]

Augh - you have now introduced me to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Did I really need to know there was a progressive rock version of Pictures at an Exhibition?

 

Okay, maybe I did.

 

Now I'm going to have to listen through their catalog, and I'm blaming you.

[miguelsanchez55]

Good song Cracker. BTW, I happen to love ELP. Remember the song Lucky Man?

another old post dug up from the grave

I love behind blue eyes, at least the LIMP version.. Im ashamed to admit Ive never heard the who version... A lot of old rock just doesnt speak to me as well.

 

this encompasses a lot of me, too bad the toadies were a one hit wonder band. at least IMO.

 

Possum Kingdom

 

Make up your mind

Decide to walk with me

Around the lake tonight

Around the lake tonight

By my side

By my side

I'm not gonna lie

I'll not be a gentleman

Behind the boathouse

I'll show you my dark secret

 

I'm not gonna lie

I want you for mine

My blushing bride

My lover, be my lover, yeah...

 

Don't be afraid

I didn't mean to scare you

So help me, Jesus

 

I can promise you

You'll stay as beautiful

With dark hair

And soft skin...forever

Forever

 

Make up your mind

Make up your mind

And I'll promise you

I will treat you well

My sweet angel

So help me, Jesus

 

(hey, hey, hey)

 

Give it up to me

Give it up to me

Do you wanna be

My angel?

So help me!

 

Be my angel

Be my angel

Do you wanna die?

Do you wanna die?

Do you wanna die?

DO YOU WANNA DIE!?

DO YOU WANNA DIE!?

I promise you

I will treat you well

My sweet angel

So help me, Jesus

 

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus...

This Is My December By Linkin Park Helped me through a rough time in my life. The song just got to me on a personal Level and I would listen to it whenever I felt Like I needed it. Here are the lyrics.

 

 

 

 

This is my December

This is my time of the year

This is my December

This is all so clear

This is my December

This is my snow covered home

This is my December

This is me alone

 

And I,

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I,

Take back all the things I said

To make you feel like that

And I,

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I,

Take back all the things that I said to you

 

And I'd give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to

 

This is my December

These are my snow covered trees

This is me pretending

This is all I need

 

And I,

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I,

Take back all the things I said

To make you feel like that

And I,

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

And I,

Take back all the things that I said to you

 

And I'd give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to

 

This is my December

This is my time of the year

This is my December

This is all so clear

 

Give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to

 

Give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to

Give it all away

To have someone to come home to

I've thought of a far more accurate one this morning I think, since I'm having a bad day!

 

It's "This 'Ole House" by Rosemary Clooney (Probably George Clooney's grandmother cosidering the age of it). I can hear all the under 50's muttering "wtf" , but it's there on Bearshare if you're interested.

 

Yeah it is an oldie; so am I !

 

I was experimenting to see just how old some of the recordings go on Bearshare. I even found one download of Les Paul's 'Little Rock Getaway' for heavens sake. That was something one elderly relation use to have on an old 78RPM shellac job! Who else is old enough to remember 78's? - Probably those who would have heard of Rosemary Clooney!

[ethan thorn]

I remember vinal but then again i am a big music buff and have and will listen to it in any form i can get it i think my old school had some 78's that is if stop in the name of love was on a 78.

[Myr]

Rosemary Clooney was George's Aunt.

 

I think my song would be "I Stand Alone" from the Quest for Camelot movie.

 

I Stand Alone

(David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager & Steve Perry)

 

I know the sound of each rock and stone

I embrace what others fear

You are not to roam in this forgotten place

Just the likes of me welcome here

 

Everything breathes

And I know each breathe

More than enough for this man

 

 

Like every tree stands on it's own

Reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else

All by myself, I Stand Alone

 

 

Deep in the darkness

My heart still sees

Everything I'll never need

Behind these eyes I go everywhere

There's no need for sympathy

 

Everything breathes

And I know each breathe

In my world there's no compromise

 

 

Like every tree stands on it's own

Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else

All by myself

 

Still I will remember

Still I run with you, yeah

And when it's time for you to go

Take me in your heart

 

Like every tree stands on it's own

Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else

 

 

All by myself, I stand Alone

All by myself......All by myself

I Stand Alone...............
