Tokio Hotel Monsoon

I'm staring at a broken door
There's nothing left here anymore
My room is cold, it's making me insane
I've been waitin' here so long
Another moment seems to've come
I see the dark clouds comin' up again

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
Til' the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself I'll think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
Through the monsoon
Just me and you

A halfmoon fading from my sight
I see your vision in its light
But now it's gone and left me so alone
I know I have to find you now
Can hear your name,I don't know how
Why can't we make this darkness feel like home?

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
Til' the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself I'll think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the monsoon

Hey!
Hey!

I'm fighting all this power coming in my way
Let it take me straight to you,
I'll be running night and day
I'll be with you soon
Just me and you
We'll be there soon
So soon

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
Til' the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself I'll think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the monsoon
Through the monsoon
Just me and you
Through the monsoon
Just me and you

there was a period in my life that i was very lonely... i was feeling i was going crazy.. there were weekends and days passing by and i didnt even talk, not to a single person, i was feeling i was going down and losing it...

then i started thinking, "you have to reach the bottom so you can go up again", this is mostly what kept me alive, i thought this phase will end at some point and i will be strong again... even stronger maybe, thats a lesson i have learned in my life...

at some point i realized i need to let people show me their love and their feelings about me, i have a great family and a friend whom i know since i was 10 years old) i had to take away the wall i had build around me, i have always helped people, i had to give them the oportunity to let them help me, it was a big step for me but i did it

then i met a person who is now a very good friend of mine and the next song reminds me of him

chasing cars snow patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Françoise Hardy -- Tous les garçons et les filles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOd_5ZRPmFs

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
se promènent dans la rue deux par deux
tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
savent bien ce que c'est d'être heureux
et les yeux dans les yeux et la main dans la main
ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine
oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits sont en tous points pareils
sans joies et pleins d'ennuis personne ne murmure "je t'aime"
à mon oreille

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
font ensemble des projets d'avenir
tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
savent très bien ce qu'aimer veut dire
et les yeux dans les yeux et la main dans la main
ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine
oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits sont en tous points pareils
sans joies et pleins d'ennuis oh! quand donc pour moi brillera le soleil?

Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge connaîtrais-je
bientôt ce qu'est l'amour?
comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge je me
demande quand viendra le jour
où les yeux dans ses yeux et la main dans sa main
j'aurai le cœur heureux sans peur du lendemain
le jour où je n'aurai plus du tout l'âme en peine

le jour où moi aussi j'aurai quelqu'un qui m'aime

Snow Patrol - Just Say Yes

I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be ok and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

It's so simple and you know it is
You know it is, yeah
We can't be to and fro like this
All our lives
You're the only way to me
The path is clear
What do I have to say to you
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear
For Gods sake, dear

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want
Its all I want

Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

ive always liked "The Ace Of Spades"by motorhead!

Posted Thu May 06, 2010 2:25 am #6114

When my dad died, my mom chose "Here comes the sun" by the Beatles for his funeral. It was appropriate on so many levels.
To this day, I smile when I hear it.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

When I was a much younger person, I moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, California -after a stint in San Fransisco. I had a best friend since childhood...that went sour -mostly due to political, social and religious differences; as we grew up. I hadn't spoken to her in a year, or so.

Anyway...

I heard from a mutual friend that she was dying, in a Hospital close to home which was in Topanga Canyon...a hilly, wooded place right near the beach. The Hollywood Hills are where we spent many nights just watching the stars. This happened in December...and being there for her, I'll never forget how important things truly are, how we forget that mundane things mean absolutely nothing -and young people -who have their whole life ahead of them, can be gone in a blink of an eye. And mostly to never forget to show them your love, in this now...

Here's the song, which is so apt -it sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it.

A Long December
~The Counting Crows

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should

thanks for sharing lefty and dani

the songs that i have memories with and touched my heart are in Greek so i cant post

Posted Thu May 13, 2010 8:04 pm #6640

oh wow, that gave me a chill too, Dani

Jules, could you put a little back story with yours too? Why did these songs touch your heart?
Cool thread, made me think about those moments when a song suddenly fits you like an old coat.

With my twins I went into labor at 28 weeks (about 5 and a half months). I lived abroad on a military base and now that the language barrier was disappearing between my then husband and I, it was becoming apparent that he was a sociopath. So I was alone when the Doctor told me that if my babies were born that night, they would have a 20% survival rate (which turned out to be a nice way of saying; 80% chance that they both die). Chances of survival with normal function (lungs, eyes, heart) increased slowly, as the pregnancy progressed. In that moment there was a determination that set in; I was going to get them there.
I received excellent medical care and spent the next 6 weeks on bed-rest in a maternity ward (cruel place for this, btw), trying to keep those buns in the oven. When I reached 32 weeks (the first safe-zone for premature babies) I started singing this song to them (instead of 'baby', I would sing 'babies' and 'one' became 'ones')

Shania Twain : Still the one(s)

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my babies
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

Bridge:
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

Chorus:

You're still the one(s) I run to
The one(s) that I belong to
You're the one(s) I want for life
You're still the one(s) that I love
The only one(s) I dream of
You're still the one(s) I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my babies

We ended up making it almost to 35 weeks and the boys came home a day later. They have been thriving since.

Aw....

Lefty....that made me cry.
I'm a triplet -though one of us did die at birth....our brother.

I know what my mother went through to have us, and what the devastation of losing one of us; did to her.

--------
You are a brave woman, a brave soul...and it's pure beauty how you know they *heard* you.
You know they did...
=)

Thanks for your kind words, boo.
They touched my heart

I can't imagine what a double edged sword that must have been for your mom, welcoming the two of you into the world...while grieving your brother. She must be an amazing woman (judging on how well you turned out).

Wow ladies thats realy touching !!

Posted Wed May 19, 2010 11:01 am #6926

my brother was born 5 and half months, the doctors said the same things about him, that he may have problems, but both my mom and him was strong, he is now a 27 strong, smart and healthy young man, i love him to death, both my brothers and my mom, my mom is my hero...

ty so much for sharing

Julia

Thank you Julia, for adding the story that goes with the lyrics. It's pretty amazing how you can really "feel" someone when you put them (story and song) together like that. I had a friend who made me feel that with him by my side, I would always be ok....I married him 9 years ago. Now, no matter what life-shattering event we're hit with (and there have been a few over the years), there comes a moment when we say "at least we have each other" and we still manage to feel blessed.

Dan, it is sooooo your turn.

Ok I will share this...

This is been a long while ago...

1st heres the song and music video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxLR_VaWkMM&feature=related

I was 18, not long after breaking up with my "1st real" girlfriend after a 3 years relationship.
We had seen this movie, Pulp Fiction together and it was our fav.
The reason we broke up was because she wanted a child with me, which I wasnt ready at the time and it kinda broke us up.
We were both kinda destroyed by the events.
One night she was in a party with some friends and many ppl she didnt know and well she was very very drunk from what I heard...

The next part is adult content so please be warned...

There was a drug dealer in that party who wanted to make new clients... France(my ex-gf) wasnt a drug person, she was even against it !!... But for some reasons the dealer got her to try cocaine... and guess what... she suffered an overdose. She didnt survive it...... It happen that this night I called to her home to know how she was after 2 weeks we havent talked. Her brother answered and told me she had a drug overdose, couldnt beleive it, I argued with him cuz I knew how she was and there is no way she would take those things !! But finaly found out he was telling the truth....

I wont get into the details about the dealer but... so you know I found him and to this day he must remember the name of my first lady !!

So back to the song, a couple weeks later I watched Pulp fiction again, and when Mia (Uma Turman) does her overdose in the movie its this song playing.... And it say "Girl, You'll be a woman soon..." France was 17, never seen her 18th birthday, She never been a woman.....

"Girl, You'll be A Woman Soon"

Girl, you'll be a woman... soon

I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind.
Don't you know...

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Soon, you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I've finally found what I'm a looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby I've done all I could
Now it's up to you...

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Soon, you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Soon but soon, you'll need a man
