This song is goofy, which is kind of me, but when my best friend had a cancer scare I found that I could completely identify with the guy in the song. I would probably behave in much the same way in a similar situation. Carrying your ashes from bar to bar I'm in a mess & you're in a Mason jar With you under my arm like a football I'm not ready to let go & that is all you were never big on conversation and that hasn't changed since your cremation And I feel most times like you do You know I feel most times like you do I wish that I was hardnosed Fight a forest fire with a garden hose And be brave enough right now to start on something new You were right there in the urn light as a feather If my hands weren't shaky I'd glue you back together This watering hole was our favourite stop So I'll take off the lid and pour a drink down the top for you And I'll pull down on that magic lever That makes it stay the past forever And I feel most times like you do You know I feel most times like you do Someone's stabbed my voodoo doll Now it hurts each time that nature calls And you're lucky that nature's finished calling out to you You were down to your very last little belt loop But you were tougher than a pitbull in the paratroops And if you're afraid of getting hurt you suffer more ills Like the hypochondriac who dies choking on his pills So I should swallow really hard & deal with this pain Cause I'm as wasted as a neatfreak in a hurricane And I feel most times like you do You know I feel most times like you do I thought I was the one that died And this was heaven's weird amusement ride But you pinched me in the dream & I saw it wasn't true So I'm dumping your ashes on the floor And we'll laugh as people slip on you while coming in this door And I'll drink on what you said to stop my feet draggin' "No one dog's bark should ever stop the wagon By the way, my friend was fine, but the song still means a lot to me. Sorry for the long message. posted by: chicalookate (reply) post date: 04.27.04 (5:57 pm) There are a lot of BNL songs that hit me hard. "The Flag", "What a Good Boy" and "Off the Hook" in particular. Thanks for sharing your songs. This was a great post. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.27.04 (7:37 pm) Reply to: Lloyd Gosh... I never would have pegged you as goofy. ;-) Seriously, thanks for sharing. Sounds like a cool song. Glad your friend pulled through. j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.27.04 (7:37 pm) Reply to: chicalookate Those are all good songs... there's a lot more to BNL than meets the eye. Thanks, Kate! :) posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (11:19 am) Your momma taught you well, and now I got that Donovan song stuck in my head. You have good taste in music and a nice lookin blog. Here is a great song from a great album and a tremendous artist ( Old School ) Van Morrison Album: Tupelo Honey Brand New Day When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love Chorus: And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day oh I was lost and double crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been used, abused and so confused And I had nowhere to run But I stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful morning sun Chorus And the sun shines down all on the ground Yeah and the grass is oh so green And my heart is still and I've got the will And I don't really feel so mean Here it comes, here it comes 0 here it comes right now And it comes right in on time Well it eases me and it pleases me And it satisfies my mind posted by: SoulSeeker (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (3:23 pm) I have a couple songs, so excuse the length of this comment... Yeah, Blink 182 - I miss you fits me once in a while, if not the lyrics but the music.. it's something I can feel.. I mean..yeah... "I Miss You" Hello there, the angel from my nightmare The shadow in the background of the morgue The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want Where you can always find me We'll have Halloween on Christmas And in the night we'll wish this never ends We'll wish this never ends (I miss you I miss you) (I miss you I miss you) Where are you and I'm so sorry I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight I need somebody and always This sick strange darkness Comes creeping on so haunting every time And as I stared I counted Webs from all the spiders Catching things and eating their insides Like indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason Will you come home and stop this pain tonight Stop this pain tonight Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) This one, fits more for my friends... I came to the realization last night that I can hardly function without them... and that, having to live without them completely in my life, kills me.. Literally. I Spent all last night - my birthday - doing a lot of crying, even when chatting with said friends by phone/voice chat. I just.. miss them..so deeply that it hurt to breathe for a while.. "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing" Hope life's been good to you since you've been gone I'm doin' fine now--I've finally moved on It's not so bad--I'm not that sad I'm not surprised just how well I survived I'm over the worst, and I feel so alive I can't complain--I'm free again [Chorus:] And it only hurts when I'm breathing My heart only breaks when it's beating My dreams only die when I'm dreaming So, I hold my breath--to forget Don't think I'm lyin' 'round cryin' at night There's no need to worry, I'm really all right I've never looked back--as a matter of fact [Repeat Chorus] It only hurts when I breathe Mmm, no, I've never looked back-- as a matter fact [Repeat Chorus] Hurts when I'm breathing Breaks when it's beating Die when I'm dreaming It only hurts when I breathe Yeah, this song carries a lot of meaning for me.. A few years ago I was in such a funk that all I listened to was "Movies" - Alien Ant Farm "Bleed" - Cold Various Cranberries Songs And almost a lot of Depressed songs.. "Bleed" - Cold I'm feeling crossed I take it inside Burn up the pain My thoughts are strange Just like the things I used to love Just like the tree that fell I heard it If art is still inside I feel it I wanna bleed Show the world all that I have inside I wanna scream Let the blood flow that keeps me alive Take all these strings They call my veins Wrap them around Every fucking thing Presence of people Not for me Well I must remain in tune Forever My love is music I will marry melody I wanna bleed Show the world all that I have inside I wanna scream Let the blood flow that keeps me alive Won't you let me take you For a ride You can stop the world Try to change my mind Won't you let me show you How it feels You can stop the world But you won't change me I need music I need music I need music to set me free To let me bleed It's how I live I suppose.. I suppose I could have happier songs, but these are the one's that stuck out when I thought about it on the top of my head.. That and Road Trippin' - Red Hot Chili Peppers.. Fits me and my parents in a way!! ^_^ We did a lot of travelling when daddy was in the military.. Yup, again, sorry for a hella long comment. (My blogs no Better.. SoulSeeker, check it out if you ever get really bored or want to read various rants lol..) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (3:34 pm) Reply to: SoulSeeker Whoa! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a long comment. I appreciate it and the lyrics. Actually, I love songs with sad lyrics... in most instances I find them the most powerful. I feel that soon I shall do an entire post on heartbreaking lyrics. I hope you will contribute to the discussion then to. Thanks again! j posted by: billyv (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (4:08 pm) Are you kidding me? I never knew that was what was on the beginning of Superman by REM. Talk about feeling old. When did that come out - '86? I was a sophmore in college. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (4:19 pm) Reply to: billyv 86 is it. You're the man! :) Great song. :) posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (5:46 pm) I definitely use song lyrics to define my life, but I find it difficult to look back and decide which songs would best provide the soundtrack to my life. When I was little, my two favorite songs were George Harrison's "I Got My Mind Set On You" (if that's the title, I don't know) and "Kingdom of Rain" by The The. Obviously not really for personal reasons, I just liked them. And "A Night Like This" by the Cure always reminds me of when I was young, also. I know how overrated you think Kurt Cobain is and all, but I have to admit that my entire perspective on life was alterred by his death, and Nirvana was practically all I listened to in 6th grade. Then, my early high school days were definitely spent riding around aimlessly listening to Dave Matthews Band's Crash over and over. But, I think "Friday I'm In Love" by the Cure was the ultimate song for me throughout high school- a good friend of mine and I wrote our own version, "Friday I Hate You," to express our unhappy sentiments. "She" by Green Day helped me accept that I have no reason to worry about other people's opinions ("She's figured out all her doubts were someone else's point of view"), and "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman also seemed directed at me over the past year or two. For a while I could barely listen to it without coming close to tears... Alright, now you're probably regretting that you invited me over to your blog. ;) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (5:55 pm) Reply to: DragonBait22 Absolutely, I'm so glad you're back. Maybe, I should give all you Cobainists and opportunity to defend your point of view. Maybe there is something about the grunge-one that I just don't get. Hmmmm... has my muse struck again? :) Don't stay away so long next time. :) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (5:58 pm) Reply to: DragonBait22 Maybe I should learn to write properly as well. That should read: "Absolutely NOT, I'm so glad you're back. Maybe, I should give all you Cobainists AN opportunity to defend your point of view. Maybe there is something about the grunge-one that I just don't get. Hmmmm... has my muse struck again? :) Don't stay away so long next time. :)" Whew! I hope that's a bit better. :) posted by: DragonBait22 (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (6:14 pm) Reply to: juniperflux Lol, yeah right, I know what you really meant. But you can't get rid of me. ;) I think maybe the reason Cobain was such a big deal to so many of us is just because there wasn't very much going on in the music world at the time, and then grunge came along and we finally had something new and something to define our generation, I guess. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 04.28.04 (6:15 pm) Reply to: DragonBait22 How old are you?

I learned how fucked up people can be and I liked it. Depeche Mode - It Doesn't Matter. As I lay here with you The shame lies with us We talk of love and trust That doesn't matter Though we may be the last in the world We feel like pioneers Telling hopes and fears To one another And oh what a feeling Inside of me It might last for an hour Wounds aren't healing Inside of me Though it feel good now I know it's only for now The feeling is intense You grip me with your eyes And then I realise It doesn't matter Age 19. Don't ask me why, but the Smith's Unhappy Birthday. I learned passion was not love. I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday because you're evil and you lie and if you should die I may feel slightly sad (but I won't cry) Loved and lost and some may say when usuallly its Nothing surely you're happy it should be this way? I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog" and: "May the lines sag heavy and deep tonight XXX" I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday becasue you're evil and you lie and if you should die I may feel slightly sad (But I won't cry) Loved and lost some people say when usually its Nothing surly you're happy it should be this way? I said "No" and then I shot myself so, drink, drink, drink and be ill tonight from the one you left behind from the one you left behind from the one you left behind from the one you left behind Then at 25, I realized it's okay to be loved by the nice guy. I mean really loved. Dramarama's Anything. OK what is it tonight? please just tell me what the hell is wrong, Do you want to eat, do you want to sleep, do you want to drown? Just settle down, settle down, settle down... I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills, Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills, I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see, Just marry me, marry me, marry me... I'm so sick of you tonight, You never stay awake when I get home, Is something wrong with me, something wrong with you? I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew... I give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills, I give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills, I even let you watch the shows you want to see, Because you married me, married me, married me... Married me, married me, married me... I was young I learned a game, that love and happiness were the same, And now I'm older and I don't play, I found out the hardest way, I got wasted, she got mad, called me names and she called her dad, He got crazy and I did too, wondering what I did to you. I gave you candy, gave you diamonds, gave you pills, I gave you anything you want, hundred dollar bills, I even let you hear the songs I want to sing, I'll give you anything, anything, anything... I'll give you anything, anything, anything... I'll give you anything, anything, anything... Anything... Anything... Anything... posted by: jenxer (reply) post date: 04.29.04 (10:11 am) I hadn't listened to any of the above songs in quite sometime. I got out Strangeways, Here We Come and dusted it off. I couldn't help but smile. |

First of all, let me just say that it was painfully obvious that many of you didn't bother to read the entirety of my last post. Shame on you. Shame! You can hardly imagine how shocked I was to find that you were not rivited to my ever word. ;-) (In the future, I'll see what I can do to liven things up around here). In all seriousness, for those of you who didn't quite make it down to the bottom, let me recap: In reference to the Degas painting I boldly asked you to share song lyrics that were intimate and deeply personal - lyrics that were defining and/or seemed to be written directly about you... which could explain why so few of you decided to answer the call. A big thanks to the few of you who did, however, respond to that charge. Of course, I'd still welcome posts of that nature, so feel free to keep sharing. However, as promised, today I am going to share with you some of mine.
