[Boricua7]

Have you ever listened to the radio and felt like it was attacking you; like it was trying to depress you? I've been there. You have to look for those songs that strengthen you. Here's two that I make myself listen to so that I become stronger.

 

Cold Hearted Snake by Paula Abdul

 

He’s a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He’s been tellin’ lies

He’s a lover boy at play

He don’t play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don’t play the fool--no

 

You’re the one givin’ up the love

Anytime he needs it

But you turn your back and then he’s off

And runnin’ with the crowd

You’re the one to sacrifice

Anything to please him

Do you really think he thinks about you

When he’s out

 

He’s a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He’s been tellin’ lies

He’s a lover boy at play

He don’t play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don’t play the fool--no

 

It was only late last night

He was out there sneakin’

Then he called you up to check that you

Were waiting by the phone

All the world’s a candy store

He’s been trick or treatin’

When it comes to true love girl with him

There’s no one home

 

He’s a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He’s been tellin’ lies

He’s a lover boy at play

He don’t play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don’t play the fool--no

 

You could find somebody better girl

He could only make you cry

You deserve somebody better girl

He’s c-cold as ice (repeats)

Just stay away from him girl

 

He’s a cold-hearted snake

C-c-c-cold heart

C-c-c-cold heart, ssssssssssnake

 

He's a cold hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He’s been tellin’ lies

He’s a lover boy at play

He don’t play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don’t play the fool--no

 

He’s a cold-hearted snake

Look into his eyes

Oh oh oh

He’s been tellin’ lies

He’s a lover boy at play

He don’t play by rules

Oh oh oh

Girl don’t play the fool--(repeat to fade)

 

Rap

How come how come he can he can tell-a tell-a you’re-a you’re-a

Always always number number one without a doubt

(he’s he’s one one cold cold snake snake)

When-a when-a he is he is always always squirmin’ squirmin’

Like a little snake under-a e-ver-y-a rock

(no no give give, all all take take)

You’ve been you’ve been workin’ workin’ on the on the love

And he’s been only only playing undercover all the while

(one one smooth smooth sharp sharp tongue tongue)

Take a take another ’nother look into his eyes

(he he just just talks)

And you will on-ly see a rep-tile

 

And the next one is: I Will Survive by Aretha Franklin

 

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;

But then I spent so many nights

Thinkin' how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And so you're back from outer space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door

Just turn around now

('cause) you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Did I crumble

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not.I. I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;

I've got all my life to live,

I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,

I will survive. Hey hey.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,

And I spent oh so many nights

Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,

And so you feel like droppin' in

And just expect me to be free,

Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now.. etc.

 

I hope this helps out ATLEAST one person.

i do the opposite ... when i'm upset about a break-up.. i listen to sad songs... it helps ME...

 

The Nobodies Lyrics

 

 

 

Today I am dirty

I want to be pretty

Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt

 

Today I am dirty

I want to be pretty

Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt

 

We are the nobodies

we wanna be somebodies

when we're dead,

they'll know just who we are

 

We are the nobodies

we wanna be somebodies

when we're dead,

they'll know just who we are

 

Yesterday I was dirty

wanted to be pretty

I know now that I'm forever dirt

 

Yesterday I was dirty

wanted to be pretty

I know now that I'm forever dirt

 

We are the nobodies

we wanna be somebodies

when we're dead,

they'll know just who we are

 

We are the nobodies

we wanna be somebodies

when we're dead,

they'll know just who we are

 

Some children died the other day

we fed machines and then we prayed

puked up and down in morbid faith

you should have seen the ratings that day

 

 

Holy Water Lyrics

 

 

 

Somewhere there's a stolen halo

I use to watch her wear it well

Everything would shine wherever she would go

But looking at her now you'd never tell

 

Someone ran away with her innocence

A memory she can't get out of her head

I can only imagine what she's feeling

When she's praying

Kneeling at the edge of her bed

 

And she says take me away

And take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

Holy water

 

She wants someone to call her angel

Someone to put the light back in her eyes

She's looking through the faces

The unfamiliar places

She needs someone to hear her when she cries

 

And she says take me away

And take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

Holy water

 

She just needs a little help

To wash away the pain she's felt

She wants to feel the healing hands

Of someone who understands

 

And she says take me away

And take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me

And she says take me away

And take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

Holy water

 

 

 

Lisa Loeb - Stay Lyrics

 

 

 

You say I only hear what I want to

And you say I talk so all the time-so

 

And I thought what I felt was simple

And I thought that I don't belong

And now that I am leaving

Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you

Yeah, I missed you

 

And you say I only hear what I want to

I don't listen hard

I don't pay attention

to the distance that you're running or to Anyone, anywhere

I don't understand if you really care

I'm only hearing negative, no no no - bad

 

So I turned the radio on I turned the radio up

And this woman was singing my song

The lover's in love and the other's run away

The lover is crying cause the other won't stay

And some of us hover when we weep for the other who

was dying Since the day they were born well

Well this is not that

I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown

 

And I thought I'd live forever but now I'm not so sure

You try to tell me that I'm clever but that won't take me anyhow

Or anywhere with you

 

And you said that I was naive

And I thought that I was strong

I thought "hey I can leave, I can leave"

But now I know that I was wrong cause I missed you

Yeah I missed you

 

You said "you caught me cause you want me

And one day I'll let you go"

You try to give away a keeper or keep me cause you're know

you're just too scared to lose

 

And you say, "stay"

 

You say I only hear what I want to.

[Boricua7]

i do the opposite ... when i'm upset about a break-up.. i listen to sad songs... it helps ME...

 

Whatever works! Everyone is different.

[TheFallenShadow]

As it is, the songs that are listed are good. as far as myself....i like the song by Brooks and Dunn...its called, "its getting better all the time"

[Blue Skittles]

Keep it coming with the songs - I am in happy mood, then sad mood, then happy mood all the time so i'm looking for music to listen to. I like torn by natalie imbruglia and innocent by our lady peace when i'm feeling sad.

[Dako]

I get lots of comfort from blues music. John Lee Hooker saved my sanity when I was in the worst despair. Something about a simple 12 bar blues gives me a feeling of communion with other sad folks and makes me feel like I have company. Unlike rock, C&W and other tunes, it just lifts me up. The blues aren't about crying, but about turning it into something good.

Besides, I like to play along on my harp.

[Jane28]

Hi All,

When my mood changes, so does the music i want to hear, this popped up on random the other day, and it suited my mood exactly. I had thought about it before, and had felt like some of the lies i had been told were like drinking poision.

 

PINK - Eventually Lyrics

I am an opportunity and I knock so softly

Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd justget off me

So many playas you'd think I was a ball game

Its every man for themself, there are noteam mates

This life gets lonely when everybody wantssomething

This might have been your fate

But they'll get their's eventually

And I hope I'm there

 

Surrounded by familiar faces without names

None of them know me or want to share my pain

And they only wish to bask in my light, then fadeaway

To win my love, to them a game

To watch me live my life in pain

When all is done and the glitter fades, fadesaway

They'll get their's eventually

And I hope I'm there

 

I drank your poison cuz you told me its wine

Shame on you if you fool once

Shame on me if you fool me twice

I didn't know the price

You'll get yours eventually

So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?

You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours Eventually

[healinginnyc81]

I like Nine Inch Nails:

 

Hurt, Head like a hole, and Only

 

Linkin Park:

Crawling, In the End

[Boricua7]

Yeah Linkin Park is a band that I like to listen to a lot. I tend to listen to angry chick music too like Kelly Clarkson or Avril Lavigne. Like Jane28 said, it all depends on my mood as I'm sure it does for a lot of people.

[Msnak]

I love music.

 

I have the following songs that fit me when I'm trying to get over someone:

Sarah McLachlan "Stupid"

Weezer "Perfect Situation"

Jack Johnson "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing"

Staind "Right Here Waiting"

Justin Timberlake "Still On My Brain"

(also Paula Abdul & Natalie Imbruglia!!)

Alana Davis "A Chance With You"

Faith Hill "Let Me Let Go"

Faith Hill "Like We Never Loved At All"

Kylie Minogue "Can't Get You Outta My Head"

Lifehouse "Blind"

 

(if you like, search Google for lyrics)

 

And these songs remind me how I will feel and be treated when I find the one:

Edwin McCain "I'll Be"

Foo Fighters "Walking After You"

Toni Braxton "I Love Me Some Him"

Garth Brooks "You Move Me"

Restless Heart "I'll Still Be Lovin' You"

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill "It's Your Love"

Faith Evans "I Love You"

Josh Kelley "Amazing"

Lifehouse "You & Me"

The Cure "Love Song"

[selfi]

Mariah Carey - always be my baby

[TheFallenShadow]

SO Alive by Love and Rockets

[luci_26]

foo fighters~ best of you

boxcar racer~ sorrow

AFI~ silver and cold

Evanescence~ Going Under

Kelly Clarkson~ Since You Been Gone

Nine Inch Nails~ Hurt

[Psylocke960]

Hey everyone! Saw this topic and thought I'd bring it back this since I'm sure many of us turn to music during our moment of despair, loneliness, sorrow or well, whatever you're feeling at the moment. So, are there any particular songs at the moment that you have been listening to more lately? Mine has been a Don Henley song that sums up on how I've been feeling the past few days.

 

The Heart of the Matter

 

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear

But I knew that it would come.

An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

She said you found someone.

And I thought of all the bad luck

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me and you lost you.

What are these voices outside love's open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

 

I'm learning to live without you now.

But I miss you sometimes.

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again.

 

I've been tryin' to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

 

All these times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined

And people filled with rage.

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age?

The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess.

Pride and competition

Cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us

You know it doesn't keep me warm.

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you, baby.

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I'd figured out

I have to learn again.

 

I've been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

 

There are people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down, you know they hurt your pride.

You better put it all behind you baby, cuz life goes on

You keep carryin that anger, it'll eat you up inside.

 

I've been trying to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me.

 

I've been tryin' to get down

To the heart of the matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me.

 

Even if, even if...you don't love me anymore.

[searching1951]

Put on the Sibelius Symphonies. No lyrics, but the most pristine and complex poetry ever written. These masterpieces will raise your IQ by 30 points, immediately infuse serotonin into your synapses, and transposrt you into a cosmic heaven in which you are unified with the mind of god and there are no ex's. Start with Symphonies 2 and 5 (avoid 4, unless you really want to end it all by drowning at night in the North sea).

[thursday]

**This one is just so depressing. I don't know why but it makes me sad every time I listen to it:

 

Maria Mena - You're The Only One

 

 

 

**Some songs that cheer me up:

 

Further Seems Forever - Light Up Ahead

Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up

[alteer]

Ok here's mine. I love this song. It always makes me feel better and sad at the same time weird I know but I love the lyrics. It's Special Ones by George.

 

Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face,

but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled

permeates my essense to the point where I

Don't want to see you hear you,

be anywhere near you,

you probably think I'm threatned by you

but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me

 

Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror,

I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you

I suppose you see that those who follow their hearts always win,

those with integrity have won the match before its begun.

 

So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb

So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first

So rather than trying to protect you,

I'm going to cover my bases first

So rather then trying to open my heart,

I'm going to lock it with a key

So that only the special ones can ever get through to me

 

Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold

whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould,

you could offer me nothing,

you could offer me nothing that I need

Do you think I'm asking too much?

A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned,

how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?

I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment,

but innocence in the hands of the guilt free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb

I was ashamed of my innocence,

I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see that your bull * * * *

is just not worth of me

 

I don't want to be angry

This is not worthy of me and now with clarity I see

that I can walk away, I can walk away.

[idiot]

Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend by Lobo

 

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment

You said you aren't home much anymore

I stopped dropping by without an appointment

Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door.

 

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me

Just before you close your eyes to sleep

You make me vow to try and stop by sometime

Baby that's a promise I can't keep.

 

I love you too much to ever start liking you

So lets just let the story kinda end

I love you too much to ever start liking you

So don't expect me to be your friend.

 

I don't walk down through the village or other places

That we used to go to all the time

I'm trying to erase you from my memory

Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind.

 

You always act so happy when I see you

You smile that way you take my hand and then

Introduce me to your latest lover

That's when I feel the walls start crashing in.
