dante Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Here's another one I was listening to, and I had to play it twice: The Starting Line's - A Goodnight's Sleep A better slumber Was in your arms spent tangled up in you A sudden morning Crashed in the room With an uninvited sudden change in you What can I say? Where's that girl from last night That slept on that side and looked just like you do? You can sleep in your own bed tonight Sleep away A silent pain That's screaming out my name You can sleep in your own bed tonight I hope for your sake you dont wake up as broken as I am For a lack of better Words to say All I said was goodnight Once again, in self-defence I wont sleep a wink To prevent dreaming of you You can sleep in your own bed tonight Sleep away A silent pain That's screaming out my name You can sleep in your own bed tonight I hope for your sake you dont wake up as broken as I am Sleep in your own bed tonight I know some day that you will wake up as lonely as I am You can sleep in your own bed tonight Sleep away A silent pain That'screaming out my name You can sleep in your own bed tonight I hope for your sake you dont wake up as broken as I am Sleep in your own bed tonight I know some day that you will wake up as lonely as I am Cuz fate works both ways Cuz fate works both ways Cuz fate works both ways Sleep in your own bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Man, I gots tons of these...here's one by The New Amsterdams called Hanging on for Hope. Are you hanging on for hope? The clock strikes past the hour. Is the pain enough to choke the life out? You may never get to sleep. Your time is not your time tonight. Her smile will make you weak and proud. Do you ever miss her? Do you feel the cold wind whisper? Is there anything more deafening? Are you hanging on for hope? It's all you've got worth living for. Is it much too much to cope the road out? There's a tension when we speak. The income's overrated but it's worth it when we meet on common ground. Do you ever miss her? Do you feel the cold wind whisper? Is there anything:. Do you ever cower when the clock strikes past the hour? Is there anything more deafening? Are you hanging on for hope? It's all you got, it's all you got. I miss you more that you could know when I'm gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 So Dante, I take it your an emo fan? Chorus to Nirvana's Son of a Gun always makes me pretty sad.

dante Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I like emo, I guess. But there is a lot of love and pain that I can relate to in those songs. I like rock and punk too though. But unless it's a Rock Ballad, it's not sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrigitDryad0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 My love must be a kind of blind love I can't see anyone but you And, dear, I wonder if you find love An optical illusion, too? Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright 'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear The moon may be high But I can't see a thing in the sky 'Cause I only have eyes for you I don't know if we're in a garden Or on a crowded avenue You are here; so am I Maybe millions of people go by But they all disappear from view And I only have eyes for you That song can be wonderful, and touching--in a good way--but, when you're near someone whom you love very, very much...and that person, whatever his internal feelings, does not outwardly reciprocate, does not show that--if--he feels the same way... Patrick used to try to sing this song to me, a long time ago, when we first became a couple and I was young and socially conscious--foolish--and he was young and starry-eyed and carried my books and listened only to "oldies" and had never had a girlfriend...and, because of his lack of training and my discerning ear, I would cut him off, giggling nervously, ashamed... ...I tried to sing it to him a few months back, softly, when we were alone, and he--he brushed it aside, giggling nervously... ...and now...now, I'd give anything to hear him sing that song again, because I have this feeling that, even though he will likely never be with me again, he has that song reserved for me--and the dance that goes with it...

BrigitDryad0 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Oh my god Brigit ... that is sad... I'm a sap for this kind of shit.... And ya know, the guy won't get back together with me for one reason--ONE fucking reason-- --it might possibly compromise his Christianity, something he's admitted doubting more than a couple of times. He says he can't see me risking my life with him on mission work (which I'd gladly do, 'cause I know he'd be following his heart, and his is one of the biggest I've ever seen), and he doesn't want to try and figure out how the kids would be raised. I've seen stories of pagan/Christian couples that have worked out, and I told him I'd research it so he can see for himself. He's admitted he still loves me; half the time he can't keep his eyes, hands, and lips off me; the other half the time he's cold as ice, but still loves me, and still wants to be the best of close friends like we are, but see post #2 here for my thoughts on that masochism...

BrigitDryad0 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Another one that makes me think of him--when I think I might just give up on him for good...or maybe he feels this way about me, and would cite it if he actually knew it...that would tear my heart to pieces, 'cause then I'd know he was serious, and for good. I guess it makes more sense coming from his end--that terrifies me... I just realized I used "for good" twice there...I guess 'cause this song conveys such a feeling of finality...it's heart-rending...and scary... The acoustic version from Buffy, way pre-single-release. Of all the things I believed in I just want to get it over with Tears form behind my eyes But I do not cry Counting the days that pass me by I've been searching deep down in my soul Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old Feels like I'm starting all over again The last three years just pretend And I said Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold onto I still get lost in your eyes And it seems I can't live a day without you Closing my eyes, you chase the thoughts away To a place where I am blinded by the light But it's not right Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold onto And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time I want what's yours and I want what's mine I want you But I'm not giving in this time Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything that I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold onto The one thing that I tried to hold onto Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold onto And when the stars fall I will lie awake You're my shooting star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signal08 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sawyer Brown - The Walk Down our long dusty driveway I didn't want to go But I set out with tears in my eyes wondering Daddy took me by the hand Looked out at the school bus and his little man and said "Don't worry boy it will be all right" CHORUS Cause I took this walk you're walking now Boy, I've been in your shoes You can't hold back the hands of time It's just something you've got to do So dry your eyes I understand just what you're going through Cause I took this same walk with my old man Boy, I've been in your shoes Down our long dusty driveway I set my mind to go I was eighteen and wild and free and wondering Daddy took me by the hand Looked at the world and at his grown man and said, "Don't worry boy it will be all right" Down our long dusty driveway This time we both would go He had grown old and gray And his mind was wandering Daddy took me by the hand Said, "I know where we're going and I understand Don't worry boy it will be all right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboMonkey Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ah, I'm such a fuckin' sucker for a good sad song. This a Jawbreaker song, Basilica. The last line gets me every time... Sunken eyed best friend of mine. Why do you sit so still, still shaking? Superhero sapped of all powers. I'll kneel beside you, watch you for hours. There's an angel on you leaning down to kiss your cheek. Feathers floating on air. This is my prayer for you. Steps of stone, morning bright blue. Stick of flame, a candle winks at you. In the pew, head down I'm crying. I think you have thoughts of dying. I'm eclipsing them now. Calling all allies down. I'm consumed by your eyes. Keep them open and full. It's raining in your room. Angel tears, bask sweet. Angel eyes on you. They love all that they see. Dewy palm, cemetery lawn. Walk alone in gardens of loss. You can't have a flower of stone. Never let this soil come between us. I'm asking you on a date for the rest of your life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hoobastank - What Happened To Us? Lyrics I thought it was too good to be true I found somebody who understands me Someone who would help me to get through And fill an emptiness I had inside me But you kept inside and I just denied Some things that we should have both said I knew it was too good to be true Cause I'm the only one who understands me What happened to us? We used to be so perfect Now we're lost and lonely What happened to us? And deep inside I wonder Did I loose my only? Remember they thought we were too young To really know what it takes to make it But we had survived off what we have done So we could show them all that they're mistaken But who could have known The lies that would grow Until we could see right through them Remember they knew we were too young We still don't know what it takes to make it What happened to us? We used to be so perfect Now we're lost and lonely What happened to us? And deep inside I wonder Did I loose my only one? We could've made it work We could've found a way We should've done our best to see another day But we kept it all inside until it was too late And now we're both alone The consequence we pay for throwing it all away For throwing it all away What happened to us? We used to be so perfect Now we're lost and lonely What happened to us? And deep inside I wonder Did I loose my only? What happened to us? What happened to us? What happened to us?

the division of joy Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Street Spirit - Radiohead Rows of houses, all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see its beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again Immerse your soul in love IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE Pyramid Song - Radiohead I jumped in the river and what did I see? Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars All the things I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt I jumped into the river Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars And all the things I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out (with music this is beauty) Hold up... hold on... don't be scared You'll never change what's been and gone May your smile... Shine on... Don't be scared Your destiny may keep you warm. Cos all of the stars are fading away Just try not to worry you'll see them some day Take what you need and be on your way And stop crying your heart out Get up...

Jont Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Right, each to their own, and here's mine. The Clash, Lost in the Super Market, off London Calling I'm all lost in the supermarketI can no longer shop happily I came in here for that special offer A guaranteed personality I wasnt born so much as I fell out Nobody seemed to notice me We had a hedge back home in the suburbs Over which I never could see I heard the people who lived on the ceiling Scream and fight most scarily Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling Thats how its been all around me Im all tuned in, I see all the programmes I save coupons from packets of tea Ive got my giant hit discoteque album I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls Make me noises for company Long distance callers make long distance calls And the silence makes me lonely And its not hear It disappear Im all lost The Mekons, Last Night on Earth (download it now) I don't thing a song could start on a more melancholic line. Life is a debt that must someday be paidborn where we were born has left us helpless and self-obsessed last night on earth, don't pick up that pen we're so ill-equipped to deal with all the pressure risk and stress they can't hurt you now. It doesn't matter what they say you can still feel anger across the grave but it was fun anyway it was her job, to see through all that shit she did it by herself in some tough tough places but the system is sick. The robber barons roam collecting their debts and filling up death row you can't ive alone they can't hurt you now it doesn't mater what they say you can still feel anger across the grave but t was fun anyway it was her job, to see through all that shit shed go walking out i some very cool places but the system is sick. The robber barons roam buying up the land beneath your feet putting kids in the ground you can't ive alone last night on earth they can't hurt you now last night on earth Iggy Pop, Tonight I saw my babyShe was turning blue Oh, I knew that soon, her Young life was through And so I got down on my knees Down by her bed And these are the words To her I said Everything will be all right, Tonight No one moves No one talks No one thinks No one walks, Tonight Everyone will be all right, Tonight No one moves No one talks No one thinks No one walks, Tonight, Tonight I am gonna love her to the end I will love her 'til I die I will see her in the sky...Tonight There were more, including The Starvations: Recipe for a Mess, Dan Sartain: Got that Feeling, Rocket from the Crypt:Used, Back Off Cupids: Painted Half a Picture, but you all have those LPs anyway.

Darth Fluffakins Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Two off the top of my head would be: Elliott Smith's "Needle in the hay" and Radiohead's "How to disappear completely" "Needle in the hay" your hand on his arm the hay stack charm around your neck strung out and thin calling some friend trying to cash some check he's acting dumb that's what you've come to expect needle in the hay needle in the hay needle in the hay needle in the hay he's wearing your clothes head down to toes a reaction to you you say you know what he did but you idiot kid you don't have a clue sometimes they just get caught in the eye you're pulling him through needle in the hay needle in the hay needle in the hay needle in the hay now on the bus nearly touching this dirty retreat falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth gonna walk walk walk four more blocks plus the one in my brain down downstairs to the man he's gonna make it all OK i can't beat myself i can't beat myself and i don't want to talk i'm taking the cure so i can be quiet wherever i want so leave me alone you ought to be proud that i'm getting good marksss needle in the hay needle in the hay needle in the hay needle in the hay "How to disappear completely" That there That's not me I go Where I please I walk through walls I float down the Liffey I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here In a little while I'll be gone The moment's already passed Yeah it's gone And I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here Strobe lights and blown speakers Fireworks and hurricanes I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here Its hard to think of sad songs, because like this radiohead song, its alot more about the music than the words. I don't know hard to explain. For those of you who have seen "Royal Tenenbaums" you should remember quite a moment with that "needle in the hay" song.
