The Song Thread

[Squarmi]

Hi guys! Haven't been around for a while. This game sounds fun!!! Let's go!! And that True Colours song by Kasey Chambers, was originally sung by Phil Collins, and someone else did a version in between which was on the Save The Last Dance soundtrack. It's really good. Kasey Chambers destroyed the song with her stupid whiney voice.

[Timm]

Yay, someone else who hates it when Kasey Chambers sings that ;D

[Miska]

so am i tam!!! (sorry cant member the rest of the spellin ) im hopeless....but that soudns like a good idea! keeps a theme goin! :)who wants to start?!

[Elondriel]

Ok, so i will add a bit of good music to this thread.
I finished uni today (for the semester) and so will include a song that i did an assignment on this semester. Take a read and tell me what you think. my a$signment was along the lines of: Metallica and other metal bands are blamed for leading youths to suicide through their lyrics. This song by Metallica is the one that is mainly blamed for being pro-suicide. As i found out however, lyrics do not lead to youth suicide, but like i said, what are your thoughts? If anyone is interested, i have further supportive info (OBVIOUSLY!)


Fade to Black not my fav by the way

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell i feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

[Miska]

congrats on finishing!!!! woot woot! its the best feelin!!! 2 days to go! i lie kthe song too!: )

[Talmina]

ok since ive been nominated to start im gonna go with my fave song right now

Evanesence – My Immortal

Im so tired of being used
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish you would just leave
Cos youre presence still lingers here
And it wont leave me alone

These wounds wont seem to heal
This pain is just too real; Theres just too much that time will not erase
When you cried, I wiped away all of your tears
When you screamed, Id fight away all of your fears,
Ive held your hand for all of these years
And you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me, By your resonating mind
But now im bound by the life you left behind
Your face it holds my once plans and dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

Chorus

I ntried so hard nto tell myself that youre gone
But though youre still with me
I feel alone
I’m alone

Chorus

[Miska]

and here is the next one..not a terribley good choice but ...meh...

michael jackson - you are not alone

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday i sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought i heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens i will bear
But first i need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday i sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and i'll come runnin'
And girl you know that i'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For i am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For i am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

[Lix]

[Miska]

[Elondriel]

Ok, i'd like to share my fav song with you all now.


Hero of the Day - Metallica

Mama they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they’ve gone

They’re off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone’s wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

’scuse me while I tend to how to feel
These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don’t want your aid
But the fist I make
For you,can’t hold off fear
No not on me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can’t you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can’t you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can’t you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try

[Rilla]

I think i've missed something...
*goes back over posts to try and figure out whats going on*

[Miska]

ooo i love that song too! and unforgiven!!!! awwww go metalica...okies now im goin to do a popy song! cos im feelin a lil hyper! im start hols tomorrow avo! YAY!

abba-mamma mia!

I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don’t know how but I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

I’ve been angry and sad about the things that you do
I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you we’re through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won’t be away too long
You know that I’m not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it’s a game we play
Bye bye doesn’t mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

[shadowoutcast]

I think it was Miska who said she liked P.O.D. so here is two of my fav song of their's

Sleeping Awake

Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe your vision, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?

Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping...

Can you see it? The writing,
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate the symbols, Enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message is written, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody Listen?

Prophesy, interpretate the signs
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
And do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
And do you feel like I feel?
And can you dream like I dream?

Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Or do you feel like I feel?
Or do you dream like I dream?
Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there? ! ?

Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake

Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there? ! ?

Change The World

Imagine a place only your soul can vision
The heart of a child who looks, sees, and listens
Paints a picture using every color
And what she sees, she sees is like no other

One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen

The art of innocence makes so much sense
But placed in the wrong hands, then it's wasted
Filtered through the eyes of a pure mind
A one-of-a-kind paradise for you and I

One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen
Break the cycle, find your rhythm
Share the gift that you've been given - Love
You can, You can Change The World
You can Change The World with love

One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen

One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen

[Miska]

*jumps up and down* yes it was!!! thankx shadow outcast! *sits and listens!!!*

[Rilla]

suga suga how you get so fly?
suga suga how you get so fly?
suga suga how you get so fly?
suga suga how you get so fly?

meh its been in my head all weekend...

[Talmina]

okay, i just had to do that this one after that, its the only one that i could think of and its an old fave of mine
now ive just gotta find the lyrics
The Offspring – Pretty Fly For A White Guy

Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
And all the girls say
I`m pretty fly for a white guy

Uno, dos, tres, quatro
Cinco, cinco, seis

You know it`s kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our subject isn`t cool
But he fakes it anyway

He may not have a clue
And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well, he makes up in denial

(CHORUS)
So don`t debate
A player straight
You know he really
Doesn`t get it anyway
Gonna play the field
And keep it real
For you, no way
For you, no way
So if you don`t rate
Just overcompensate
At least you`ll know you can
Always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabe`s
So, hey, hey, do that
Brand new thing

Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
And all the girls say
I`m pretty fly for a white guy

He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn`t have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice

Now cruising in his Pinto
He sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice
They`re gonna kick his lily ass

(CHORUS)

The world loves wannabe`s
So, hey, hey, do that
Brand new thing

Now he`s getting a tattoo
He`s getting ink done
He asked for a 13
But they drew a 31

Friends say he`s
Trying too hard
And he`s not quite hip
But in his own mind
He`s , he`s the dopest trip

Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah
Give it to me, baby
Ah hah, ah hah

Uno, dos, tres, quatro
Cinco, cinco, seis

(CHORUS)

The world needs wannabe`s
The world loves wannabe`s
So let`s get some more wannabe`s
And, hey, hey, do that brand new thing

[shadowoutcast]

one thing I hate is rap music. Bring on the rock.

[Lix]

whats wrong with rap, it has mroe to it than rock. rock songs are basically whatever thrown together, raps are clever coz they have rhyme and rhythym, they take more talent than rock. having said so im into all kinds of music so it doesnt bother me. except for christian rock which annoys the hell out of me!

*sorry christians*

[Arien]

i don't mind rap. only some of it though...alot of it annoys the crap out of me. i'd rather rock...

[Timm]

Shadow said:

Same here. I can't STAND rap, at all. I can put up with most pop...even if I don't like it. I can't stand boy band-ish though.

Rap is the lowest form of music. I mean, talking.

[Miska]

well im goin to agree with elixa. rap done well takes a lot of talent...im not meanin the half rap/pop stuff thats out...but proper rap. its deffinately an art. i must say not one of my favs in fact i agree wit u timm and shadow outcast - bring on the rock!!! i lovethe good old rock!!! its the best. but rap is an art and it is good. its like anythin - certain tastes perfer certain things

[Elondriel]

K, going mad with song stuck in head... if i share it might leave. Need to concentrate on something else

Die, by my hand
I creep across the land
killing first born man

i'm creeping death
(creeping death - Metallica)

*shakes head and takes deep breath*
wow, when i'm ready for it, i'll re-read my post.
like having a 2nd brain
*turns to task at hand*

That right you should be sorry. Less talent! I must say that post hide what I mean the thing I hate about rap 'artist' if you can call someone who uses swearing every second to sing an artist. Also how could christian rock annoy anyone with artist like 'Lifehouse', 'Switchfoot' and 'POD' (sleeping awake sound so cool)

[Miska]

*stands behind shadow outcast noddin* i agree wit him *points* go POD!
