Your Love Life...in Music...

[setsuko1981]

(just curious if any person would come up an answer to this)

 

Can you summarize your love life...in terms of music titles?

 

(it does not really need to be the title that pertains to your love life, it can be the lyrics itself, but just mention the title)

[easyguy]

Artist: Diana Krall

Song: "Maybe You'll Be There"

Album: Live in Paris

 

Lyrics

 

Each time I see a crowd of people

Just like a fool I stop and stare

It's really not the proper thing to do

But maybe you'll be there

I go out walking after midnight

Along the lonely thoroughfare

It's not the time or place

To look for you

But maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me

You said you lips were mine alone to kiss

Now after all those things you told me

How can it end like this

Someday if all my prayers are answered

I'll hear a footstep on the stair

With anxious heart

I'll hurry to the door

And maybe you'll

Be there

[From_Now_On]

"Sensitive Subject Matter" – Bonnie McKee

I told you I would listen to you

So I'm all ears

But dont ask me respond

To your pleas for my advice

Cause now im too burdened to speak

 

"Somebody" – Bonne McKee

Won't cry

Not tonight

Cuz there is somebody waiting for me

 

"Goodbye To You" – Michelle Branch

Of all the things I've 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

 

"Breathe" – Michelle Branch

Well it's all so overrated

In not saying how you feel

So you end up watching chances fade

And wondering what's real

 

"Pretty Baby" – Vanessa Carlton

And I know things can't last forever

But there are lessons that you'll never learn

Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt

So how's it you that makes me better

 

"Unsung" – Vanessa Carlton

I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue

I'm only as good as the last one

Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung

 

...........I could go on and on but those are a few that have at least at one point in my life or another fit me personally to a 'T'. I quoted a little piece of each but really everything in all of them fits.

[Msnak]

First off…cool and unique subject!

 

Second, to sum up my love life right now it's:

Incubus "Wish You Were Here"

 

For most of the summer it was:

Vertical Horizon "Best I Ever Had"

 

To describe how I feel about the guy I like:

Jimmy Eat World "Work"

 

To describe the guy I like:

Cake "You're Never There"

 

To describe me:

Nelly Furtado "I'm Like A Bird"

 

One day I hope a guy will sing to me:

Lenny Kravitz "Lady"

[ShySoul]

Sigh, seeing how my love with a girl started with a common interest in the same type of music, I think I hve a few songs for everyone.

 

Need To Be Next To You Lyrics

Artist(Band):Sara Evans

 

Been running from these feelings for so long

Telling my heart I didn't need you

Pretending I was better off alone

But I know it's just a lie

So afraid to take a chance again

So afraid of what I feel inside

 

Chorus

But I need to be next to you oh I, oh I

I need to share every breath with you oh I, oh I

I need to know I can see your smile each morning

Look into your eyes each night

For the rest of my life

Here with you near with you

Oh, I need to be next to you

 

Right here with you is where I belong

I'll lose my mind if I can't see you

Without you there is nothing in this life

That would make my life worth living for

I can't bear the thought of you not there

I can't fight what I feel anymore

 

Repeat chorus

But I need to be next to you oh I, oh I

I need to share every breath with you oh I, oh I

I need to know I can see your smile each morning

Look into your eyes each night

For the rest of my life

Here with you near with you

Oh, I need to be next to you

 

Oh I, I need to be next to you

I need to have your heart next to mine

For all time

Love you for all of my life

 

Repeat chorus

But I need to be next to you oh I, oh I

I need to share every breath with you oh I, oh I

I need to know I can see your smile each morning

Look into your eyes each night

For the rest of my life

Here with you near with you

Oh, I need to be next to you

 

Jessica Andrews, "I Bring it to You"

 

All of these words on paper

All of these thoughts in my head

Deals I’ve made with the maker

The need that sleeps in my bed

 

All of these stones in my pocket

Daydreams I’ve left on the shore

The jagged half of a locket

I lay it all at your door

 

I bring it to you

There’s magic in all that you do

I bring you the scraps that make up my soul

You make me whole

I’m gold

I bring it to you

 

Songs I’ve shouted to heaven

Secrets I’ve kept in a box

Trust never given

Keys that don’t fit

 

I bring it to you

There’s magic in all that you do

I bring you the scraps that make up my soul

You make me whole

I’m gold

I bring it to you

 

But more than anything

I bring you love, I bring you love

 

I bring it to you

There’s magic in all that you do

I bring you the scraps that make up my soul

You make me whole

I’m gold

I bring it to you

 

I bring it to you

There’s magic in all that you do

I bring you the scraps that make up my soul

You make me whole

I’m gold

I bring it to you

[setsuko1981]

I have a list of songs that can describe my last relationship, but this song summarizes it all. This is how my last relationship (former) special someone went.

 

For Just a Moment -- David Foster

 

We laughed

Until we had to cry

And we loved

Right down to our last goodbye

We were the best

I think we'll ever be

Just you and me

For just a moment

 

We chased

That dream we never found

And sometimes

We let one another down

But the love we made

Made everything alright

We shone so bright

For just a moment

 

Time goes on

People touch and then they're gone

And you and I

Will never love again

Like we did then

 

Someday, when we both reminisce

We'll both say

There wasn't too much we missed

And through the tears

We'll smile when we recall

We had it all

For just a moment

 

Time goes on

People touch and then they're gone

But you and I

Will never really end

We'll never love again

Like we did then

 

We laughed until we had to cry

And we loved right down to our last goodbye

[ShySoul]

Jessica Andrews, "Now"

 

Now

All my life I’ve waited

And I’ve been afraid and

I wondered If I’d find

Someone to share my life

 

Every day I prayed and

Every night I searched in

Every stranger’s eyes

For some kind of sign

 

Me and my heart wishin’ in the dark

Tryin’ to believe in a sky full of stars

I was waiting for you

A million empty days, too much time and space

Every tear I cried, every lonely night

I was waiting for you

 

Now here you are

And my world is, my world is so beautiful

Now here you are

And my life is, and my life is so wonderful

Now

 

The past seems like a dream

Just vacancy

How did I exist before our first kiss

Oh I feel so lucky because I know you

Love me

And no one ever has, like no one ever has

 

Me and my heart wishin’ in the dark

Tryin’ to believe in a sky full of stars

I was waiting for you

All those empty days, all the time and space

Every tear I cried, every lonely night

I was waiting for you

 

Now here you are

And my world is, my world is so beautiful

Now here you are

And my life is, and my life is so wonderful

Now

[Guarana Galrok]

Song: 'Outside'

Artist: Staind

 

 

 

And you

Bring me to my knees

Again

 

All this time

That I could beg you please

In vain

 

All the times that I felt insecure

For you

ou

And I leave my burdens at the door

 

But I'm on the outside

I'm looking in

I can see through you

See your true colors

Cause inside you're ugly

Ugly like me

I can see through you

See to the real you

 

All this time

That I felt like this won't end

It's for you

 

And I taste

What I could never have

It's from you

 

All those times

That I tried

My intentions

Full of pride

And I waist

More time than anyone

 

But I'm on the outside

I'm looking in

I can see through you

See your true colors

Cause inside you're ugly

Ugly like me

I can see through you

See to the real you

 

All the times

That I've cried

All that's wasted

It's all inside

 

And I feel

All this pain

Stuffed it down

It's back again

 

And I lie

Here in bed

All alone

I can't mend

 

And I feel

Tomorrow will be okay

But I know

 

But I'm on the outside

I'm looking in

I can see through you

See your true colors

Cause inside you're ugly

Ugly like me

I can see through you

See to the real you

 

[rionmccloud]

Song: I Want You to Want me

Artist: Cheap Trick

 

I want you to want me.

I need you to need me.

I'd love you to love me.

I'm beggin' you to beg me.

 

I want you to want me.

I need you to need me.

I'd love you to love me.

I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.

I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.

 

But mostly

Song: Behind These Hazel Eyes

Artist: Kelly Clarkson

seems like just yesterday

you were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

your arms around me tight

everything felt so right

unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong

 

no I can't breathe, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

 

Here I am

once again

i'm torn into pieces

can't deny it, can't pretend

just thought you were the one

broken up, deep inside

but you wont get to see the tears I cry

behind these hazel eyes

 

I told you everything

opened up and let you in

you made me feel alright

for once in my life

now all that's left of me

is what I pretend to be

sewed together but so broken up inside

 

no I can't breathe, no I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

 

Here I am

once again

i'm torn into pieces

can't deny it, can't pretend

just thought you were the one

broken up, deep inside

but you wont get to see the tears I cry

behind these hazel eyes

 

swallow me then spit me out

for hated you I blame myself

seeing you, it kills me now

though I dont cry on the outside anymore

anymore

 

Here I am

once again

i'm torn into pieces

can't deny it, can't pretend

just thought you were the one

broken up, deep inside

but you wont get to see the tears I cry

behind these hazel eyes

 

Here I am

once again

i'm torn into pieces

can't deny it, can't pretend

just thought you were the one

broken up, deep inside

but you wont get to see the tears I cry

behind these hazel eyes

 

And lastly

Song: Duality

Artist: Slipknot

 

I push my fingers into my eyes

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on

 

I have screamed until my veins collapsed

I've waited as my time's elapsed

Now, All I do is live with so much fate

I've wished for this, I've b**ched at that

I've left behind this little fact:

You cannot kill what you did not create

I've gotta say what I've gotta say

And then I swear I'll go away

But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise

I guess I'll save the best for last

My future seems like one big past

You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

 

I push my fingers into my eyes

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

If the pain goes on,

I'm not gonna make it!

 

Pull me back together

Or separate the skin from bone

Leave me all the pieces, then you can leave me

alone

Tell me the reality is better than the dream

But I found out the hard way,

Nothing is what it seems!

 

I push my fingers into my eyes

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on

I'm not gonna make it

All I've got- all I've got is insane

All I've got- all I've got is insane

All I've got- all I've got is insane!

All I've got- all I've got is insane!

I push my fingers into my eyes

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on

I'm not gonna make it

 

These songs in that order pretty much explain the steps in my breakup and recovery.

 

'Nuff said

[shes2smart]

I always thought this song was a realistic take on a healthy relationship.

 

******************

If I Should Fall Behind - Bruce Springsteen

 

We said we'd walk together baby come what may

That come the twilight should we lose our way

If as we're walkin a hand should slip free

I'll wait for you

And should I fall behind

Wait for me

 

We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side

We'd help each other stay in stride

But each lover's steps fall so differently

But I'll wait for you

And if I should fall behind

Wait for me

 

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true

But you and I know what this world can do

So let's make our steps clear that the other may see

And I'll wait for you

If I should fall behind

Wait for me

 

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed

Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees

I'll wait for you

And should I fall behind

Wait for me

Darlin' I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind

Wait for me

*************************

 

The version they do live is staged so each of the members of the band who sing performs a portion of the song, then they sing the chorus once together at the end. It added a different dimension to the song considering this is a group of people who have been together as a band for 20+ years. Its meaning went beyond the limited area of romantic relationships.

[Minty80]

What a wonderful topic, and there are some great songs here!

 

I probably have a couple, this one definitely describes the beginning of our relationship. In fact it's what we were listening to when we were talking that first night after confessing how we felt about each other.

 

Social Distortion - Faithless

 

I know a girl who warns the dangers of love

all the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings

she keeps herself in a world that's protected

her outsides are tough

but inside her heart longs to sing

 

[Chorus

Don't let your walls down

You might fall in love,

You might fall in love

 

He's gonna get his girlfriend's name tattooed on his neck

and hope he never, never lives to regret

he's gonna walk down that long, dark alley

and what he finds there you know he'll never forget

 

[Chorus

Don't let your walls down

You might fall in love,

You might fall in love

They're crashing down now,

You might fall in love

 

I remember a time I believed

that the words love and pain were both one in the same

I'm gonna trade in my old ways for a new shot at life

I'm gonna change, change my direction

I'm gonna change my ways

 

[Chorus

Don't let your walls down

You might fall in love,

You might fall in love

They're crashing down now

It's you I'm thinking of,

It's you I'm thinking of

Let's fall in love.

 

While we were doing the LDR thing (It ended this week, weeeee!)

 

Descendents - I Won't Let Me

 

While you are away I'm waiting

I'm out of my mind you're out of town

You know I'm no stranger to frustration

I won't break I won't let you down

 

Cause I Know Right From Wrong

And I Know I Can Be Strong

You know I won't let me let you down

 

I look back on my past, I'm dirty

I know that guy would always let you down

But while I'm away don't worry

Just keep your faith in me and have no doubt

 

Cause I know right from wrong

And I know I can be strong

If's there's no lying then there's no crying

Arrive in your own time stay patient

 

You know I won't let me let you down

(I'm Waiting)

You know I won't let me let you down

(You know I won't let me, waiting)

You know I won't let me let you down

(You know I won't let me)

 

Won't let myself be led into temptation

It's you and me nobody else allowed

Well you know I'm no stranger to frustration

Just keep your faith in me and have no doubt

 

Cause I know right from wrong

And I know I can be strong

If's there's no lying then there's no crying

Arrive in your own time stay patient

You know I won't let me let you down

(I'm Waiting)

 

You know I won't let me let you down

(You know I won't let me, I'm waiting)

You know I won't let me let you down

(You know I won't let me)

You know I won't let me let you down

You know I won't let me let you down

You know I won't let me let you down

 

Right now it's Descendents - Nothing With You

 

I don't wanna move

I'll just sit here in my living room

And see what's on the tube

While I'm hanging out with you

 

People knock on my door

Ringing my phone

Telling me the things I gotta get done today

To satisfy them, but what about me?

Lately I've been wishing I was brain dead

No responsibilities in my head today

Baby let's see what's on the TV

 

Doing nothing having fun

off to bed to get things done

I'm not lazy, I'm in love

I don't wanna move

I'll just sit here in my living room

And see what's on the tube

While I'm hanging out with you

 

People pressing my flesh

Taking my time

They don't know a thing about my life with you

I'm trying real hard

Hard not to care

Cause all I ever really want to do

Is sit around doing nothing with you

Because nothing's only fun when you're there

 

"Mad About You" at dinnertime

"Seinfeld", "Simpsons", "So-Called Life"

Seen the reruns 20 million times

 

I don't wanna move

I'll just sit here in my living room

And see what's on the tube

While I'm hanging out with you

 

all I wanna do is just sit here in my living room

And see what's on the tube

While I'm hanging out with you

 

All I wanna do

All I wanna do

All I wanna do

Is do nothing with you

 

All I wanna do

All I wanna do

All I wanna do

Is do nothing with you

[ShySoul]

In This Life Lyrics

by Collin Raye

 

For all I've been blessed with in this life,

there was an emptiness in me.

I was imprisoned by the power of gold.

With one honest touch, you set me free.

 

Let the world stop turning,

let the sun stop burning.

Let them tell me love's not worth going through.

If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart

the only dream that matters has come true;

in this life, I was loved by you.

 

For every mountain I have climbed,

every raging river crossed,

you were the treasure that I longed to find.

Without your love I would be lost.

 

Let the world stop turning,

let the sun stop burning,

let them tell me love's not worth going through.

If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart,

the only dream that mattered had come true;

in this life i was loved by you.

 

In this life, I was loved by you.

 

 

Artist: Alison Krauss Lyrics

Song: When You Say Nothing At All Lyrics

 

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word you can light up the dark

Try as I may I could never explain

What I hear when you don’t say a thing

 

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

 

All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd

Old mr. webster could never define

What’s being said between your heart and mine

 

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

 

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

[illusionglimps]

After All

by Peter Cetera

 

Well, here we are again;

I guess it must be fate.

We've tried it on our own,

But deep inside we've known

We'd be back to set things straight.

 

I still remember when

Your kiss was so brand new.

Every memory repeats,

Every step I take retreats,

Every journey always brings me back to you.

 

CHORUS

After All the stops and starts,

We keep coming back to these two hearts,

Two angels who've been rescued from the fall.

After All that we've been through,

It all comes down to me and you.

I guess it's meant to be,

Forever you and me, After All.

 

When love is truly right

(This time it's truly right.)

It lives from year to year.

It changes as it goes,

Oh, and on the way it grows,

But it never disappears,

 

CHORUS

 

Always just beyond my touch,

You know I needed you so much.

After All, what else is livin' for?

 

CHORUS

[redrose85]

This is relatively true

 

I HATE YOU THEN I LOVE YOU (Celine Dion & Luciano Pavarotti)

 

I'd like to run away from you

But if I were to leave you I would die

I'd like to break the chains you put around me

And yet I'll never try

 

No matter what you do you drive me crazy

I'd rather be alone

But then I know my life would be so empty

As soon as you were gone

 

Impossible to live with you

But I could never live without you

For whatever you do / For whatever you do

I never, never, never

Want to be in love with anyone but you

 

You make me sad

You make me strong

You make me mad

You make me long for you / You make me long for you

 

You make me live

You make me die

You make me laugh

You make me cry for you / You make me cry for you

 

I hate you

Then I love you

Then I love you

Then I hate you

Then I love you more

For whatever you do

I never, never, never

Want to be in love with anyone but you

 

You treat me wrong

You treat me right

You let me be

You make me fight with you / I could never live without you

 

You make me high

You bring me down

You set me free

You hold me bound to you

 

I hate you

Then I love you

Then I love you

Then I hate you

Then I love you more / I love you more

For whatever you do / For whatever you do

I never, never, never

Want to be in love with anyone but you

 

I never, never, never

I never, never, never

I never, never, never

Want to be in love with anyone but you

But you

 

And this one too:

 

UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES (Shakira)

 

You're a song

Written by the hands of god

Don't get me wrong cause

This might sound to you a bit odd

But you own the place

Where all my thoughts go hiding

And right under your clothes

Is where I find them

 

Underneath Your Clothes

There's an endless story

There's the man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

 

Because of you

I forgot the smart ways to lie

Because of you

I'm running out of reasons to cry

When the friends are gone

When the party's over

We will still belong to each other

 

Underneath Your Clothes

There's an endless story

There's the man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

 

I love you more than all that's on the planet

Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing

You know it's true

Oh baby it's so funny

You almost don't believe it

As every voice is hanging from the silence

Lamps are hanging from the ceiling

Like a lady tied to her manners

I'm tied up to this feeling

 

Underneath Your Clothes

There's an endless story

There's the man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

REO Speedwagon- Keep Pushin'

 

I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone

I found other things to keep my mind on

And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better

Whoa , I keep pushin on

Keep pushin on, yeah

 

Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did

Tryin to leave behind the heartaches

And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah

Whoa, I keep pushin on

 

Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong

Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone

 

 

Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do

I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh

Everyday I wake a little bit higher

Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah

 

Boston-Foreplay/Longtime

 

It's been such a long time,

I think I should be going,

And time doesn't wait for me,

It keeps on rolling.

Sail on,

On a distant highway.

I've got to keep on chasing a dream.

I've gotta be on my way;

Wish there was something I could say.

 

Well, I'm taking my time,

I'm just moving on.

You'll forget about me after I've been gone,

And I take what I find,

I don't want no more,

It's just outside of your front door.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's been such a long time.

It's been such a long time.

 

Well I get so lonely

When I am without you,

But in my mind, deep in my mind,

I can't forget about you.

Good times

 

 

And faces that remind me;

I'm trying to forget your name

And leave it all behind me.

You're coming back to find me.

 

 

It's been such a long time,

I think I should be going,

And time doesn't wait for me,

It keeps on rolling.

There's a long road

I've gotta stay in time with.

I've got to keep on chasing that dream,

Though I may never find it,

I'm always just behind it.

 

 

Well, I'm taking my time,

I'm just moving on.

 

Moody Blues- Forever Autumn

 

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

And darker days are drawing near...

The winter winds will be much colder

Now you're not here.

I watch the birds fly south accross the autumn sky

And one by one they disappear.

I wish that I was flying with them

Now you're not here

 

Like a song through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

 

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

You always loved this time of year.

Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

'Cause you're not here

 

Like a song throught the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

 

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

As if to hide a lonely tear...

My life will be forever autumn

'Cause you're not here!

 

Trent Tomlinson -The Bottle

 

I just cracked the top on some Jim Beam I just bought

Took a big ol' swig an' I just set her down

It's a foolish thing to think, that you could kill the hurt with drink

But it's the only thing that I can think of now

Got her down to the top of the sticker

I wish this stuff would kick in a little quicker

 

I can still see us on that tiltawhirl, spinnin'

Cotton-candy and then when she had mustard on her chin

From that corn-dog that slipped right off of the stick

And that top of the Ferriss wheel kiss

I ain't forgot about that yet

But I still have some whiskey left

 

Sure thought I'd be able, once I reached the middle of the label

That some of those memories would somehow wash away

Now I'm pushin' toward the bottom, an' thoughts of her, yeah, I still got 'em

Those shots, I've shot 'em, but they ain't killed yesterday

Just a little below the sticker

Yeah, I must've got a bad batch of liquor

 

I can still see her standin' there on that sidewalk

Yellin' out for the taxi that would take her away

From the arms of the one that still loves her

With all of his heart.

I ain't forgot about that yet,

But I still have some whiskey left

 

I just tipped it up an' took the last sip from the cup

Threw that bottle on the ground an' started to cry

I know that I've had plenty an' now there just ain't any

An' I'm just as empty as that bottle inside
