OK I'm having one of those sappy, cry baby days. My father would have just said, "Snap out of it, what does someone your age have to feel bad about? You can't suffer from depression, look you have a job, family that loves you, and a place to live..." Ok 1 out of 3 isn't bad, right

So today is one of those days, I blame it on the meds

So do any of ya'll ever hear a certain song that reminds you of someone or something that has happened in your lives?

For today this is my song:

~ * ~ * ~
I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
Oh, but baby most of all
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~
I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue - green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
Let the light back in
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~
I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
Let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~
Mmmmmmmm
I miss my friend
~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Yes, some songs bring back memories...

I had one of those days a few days ago while feeling particularly misunderstood.

"All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me that
I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something
Hold on feeling like I'm heading for a
Break down and I dunno why
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then You'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Talking to myself in public
And dulging glances on the train
And I know I know that they ‘ve all been talking about me
I can hear their whisper
And it makes me feel that there must be something wrong with me
After all the hours thinking somehow I‘ve lost my mind
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
Soon they'll come to get me
And they're taking me away
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired I know
Right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
And how I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little lonely
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell"

I'm supposed to be promoting a book of the same title. I had not even looked at the lyrics before this book came into existance. And the first time i looked, a whole bunch of things came rushing home.

Oh great Calla you made me cry! I've been in bed half of the time for the past few weeks, the rest of the time has been spent either on the couch or in a chair because I've been physically terrible for some reason lately. I better not say terrible or I'll jinx myself and it'll get worse. I can TOTALLY identify with those lyrics. Loneliness is setting in, I've lost a lot of friends who meant a lot to me and a lot of the time I wish they would just see things from my perspective. Anyway, it's almost 6 AM and I need to get back to bed. I was just reading that and it made me start blubbering all over my keyboard like an idiot. :#( :#(

Yes, some songs bring back memories...

Take the Good, the bad Just breathe..

Yea, when ever I hear Tennessee Waltz I want to cry.
I cried on Saturday night/Sunday morning at my friends 18th.
I was drunk, reason being I was sad and I don't care anymore.
I was sculling Southern Comfort (35% alcohol) straight from the bottle.
Then after that I just sad there with a bottle of beer in hand and sobbed.
I didn't really know why, but my mates told me today I was sad about this girl I liked.
I was talking about her and saying bad things about her all the time I sobbed.
It was a long story that some of you might know.


At Night

At night
At night I lay and think of you hoping my wishes and dreams come true
At night I wonder can this be the end is this all that's left
At night I wish we could go to the way things were
At night I lay and cry about the things that happened and how it all ended
At night I lay and think of us, I mean you and I
At night I realize there's no more us
At night I dream of us together again
At night I wish for us to be together again
But in the morning I realize it was all
At Night

It's the music that always lifts me up on days like that.



Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin’ on by you know how I feel

(refrain
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

(refrain)

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That’s what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

OH well, I am a sucker for punishment. I like to listen to sad songs to think of my there but not there hubby, if any of you dont know already, hubby is on a travelling job, and hasnt been home in 4 months, and wont be home for a while

This poem (not song), makes me think of him all the time:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

- Elizabeth Barret Browning

i have to admit, this one gets me

Within Temptation - Dark Wings Lyrics

Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams

Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down

Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe

As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Give us the strength we needed

Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon definately reminds me of someone from my past and makes me smile whenever I hear it. (and yes he was somewhat of a spy in his past)

Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest,
Nobody does it half as good as you, baby, you're the best.
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me.
I tried to hide from your love light,
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me,
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

Nobody does it better, sometimes i wish someone could.
Nobody does it quite the way you do. did you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me,
There's some kind of magic inside you,
That keeps me from runnin', but just keep it comin',
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, baby, baby you're the best!

I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.
~ Mae West

Big time.

I lost a little girl in 1993 I was 6 months pregnant. For a whole month I sat and played this song over and over. Ever since then I can't stand to hear it.

Tears in Heaven

By Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyound the door,
There's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.


Wow that was hard to type, crying here.... but it's for Zoe.

___________________________________________

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

This was playing as we cross the border moving to the US from Canada (I'm originally from the US, the spouse from Canada)...

Tonight my bag is packed
Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks
That will lead me across the border

Tomorrow my love and I
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border

We'll leave behind my dear
The pain and sadness we found here
And we'll drink from the Bravo's muddy waters

Where the sky grows grey and white
We'll meet on the other side
There across the border

For you I'll build a house
High up on a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border

Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border

And sweet blossoms fills the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters

And in your arms 'neath the open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border

Tonight we'll sing the songs
I'll dream of you my corazon
And tomorrow my heart will be strong

And may the saints' blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border

For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters

And eat the fruit from the vine
I know love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border

And this one is where I'm at right now...


If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I’ll smile again

Shouldn’t be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

Can you help me I’m bent
I’m so scared that I’ll never
Get put back together

You’re breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

If I couldn’t sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I’m jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin

Can you help me I’m bent
I’m so scared that I’ll never
Get put back together

You’re breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Start bending me
It’s never enough
I feel all your pieces

Start bending me
Keep bending me until I’m completely broken in

Shouldn’t be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again

Can you help me I’m bent
I’m so scared that I’ll never
Get put back together

You’re breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Can you help me I’m bent
I’m so scared that I’ll never
Get put back together

You’re breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

OOO, and can I forget my all time favourite that was playing in the background, when my husband (then boyfriend) was helping me shop a day before I was to move to another city for a job:

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again -
Oh Babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you,
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.

[Chorus]

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come.
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I won't have to say ...

[Chorus]

:#(

Hmm... well, my first love sent me this song one day and now I can never hear it without thinking of him. Well, this song, plus several others...

The Flamingos
I Only Have Eyes For You

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you.

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.

The moon maybe high
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.

I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.

You are here
So am I
Maybe millions of people go by,
but they all disappear from view.
And I Only Have Eyes For You.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

The song that brings memories back to me is by a band Chocolate Starfish. I cant find the lyrics though.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe

I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe


LB - I've been there :hug:

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

My friend was buried to 'dont dream its over' by crowded house.

Of course songs bring back memories!
