My son just told me that he had to do an essay about a person who made an major impact in his life and begin it with a quote. He used this from the Edward Sharpe song Home. Oh, home, let me come home Home is whenever I'm with you Oh, home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you. Yuo, I cried.

Just saw Barenaked Ladies this week on a whim. Third time seeing them and had a blast. I have always enjoyed both their playful side and sad sides. I have been listening on and off all week after such a great show and just caught Call and Answer (one song I was not familiar with) and WOW. I cried remembering all of the forgiving and second, third, fourth, etc chances i gave to my exH until I reached my breaking point after too many broken promises. I cried not for him or our relationship, but for how untrue I was to myself. I think it's getting to the point Where I can be myself again I think it's getting to the point Where we have almost made amends I think it's the getting to the point That is the hardest part And if you call, I will answer And if you fall, I'll pick you up And if you court this disaster I'll point you home I'll point you home You think I only think about you When we're both in the same room You think I'm only here to witness The remains of love exhumed You think we're here to play A game of who loves more than whom And if you call, I will answer And if you fall, I'll pick you up And if you court this disaster You think it's only fair to do what's best for You and you alone You think it's only fair to do the same to me When you're not home I think it's time to make this something that is More than only fair So if you call, I will answer And if you fall, I'll pick you up And if you court this disaster I'll point you home But I'm warning you, don't ever do Those crazy, messed-up things that you do If you ever do I promise you I'll be the first to crucify you Now it's time to prove that you've come back here to rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild, oh

PP - Thank you for sharing. So glad to hear that your dad got sober. It is a horrible disease. I am happy for my kids that my ex got clean. Happy fathers day to your dad in heaven.

The Scientist ...Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard just heard this one and forgot how sad it is

PP, thanks for all of those. I am a late comer to Eric Church and agree 100%.

Wow PP. Dealing with the same issue with my mom. Thank you for that.

Oh wow Reinvent. That is a good one.

awwww, he is beautiful.

J lost his girl of 21 years last month right after we came home from vacation. He will not even discuss another kitten. He says he will know when the time is right. So will you. Macy is still grieving. Poor baby.

The Smiths are another go to There's a club, if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home and you cry And you want to die When you say it's gonna happen now When exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone

Wow Reinvent You roll out of bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe I remember that feeling - ouch

Love this song

I think most anything Chris Cornell wrote is pretty rough.

I'll never hear this song the same way again. Thank you for sharing.

Brave is hard for me to listen to these days. A good friend's son was struggling with his sexuality but would not come out to his very religious dad. I gave him Sara's CD and a card with the note "Innocence, your history of silence Won't do you any good Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don't you tell them the truth?" The young man never came to terms with being gay and committed suicide the day before his 18th birthday.

I'm loving these and agree about context. I also think there are other factors. Loved Cleopatra and then saw the video. The "love of her life" took on new meaning, especially to me having two sons.

Oohhh yes, heartbreaking.

I live and breathe music, but am especially moved by the perfectly phrased pared down lyric that cuts right to the bone. Current best example I can give is is Little Bit of Everything by Dawes. What song lyrics do it for you and why?

I am relatively new here, but I know that in my relationships, my boundaries are often too squishy when my SO has many traits I respect. I am struggling with that now. Working with therapist on firming them up, , being true to myself and asking for what I need in the relationship. That is a big one for me.

This is heartbreaking and strong and beautiful all at the same time. It made me cry.
