Song Dedication to the One I love or Loathe
I've noticed that lately - if I didn't have great music to listen to, I think I would have 'offed' myself" years ago. Things are cool now and yet...I want to dedicate "Walking on Broken Glass" (Annie Lennox & her parriah, Dave Stewart) - to a man who will always be the Real Man. A true enigma.
Any one else need to share a similar feeling and tell us why? This man, for me - is the epitomy of true masculinity and the Big One. I know him like I know my own bones.

"Night to Remember" by Bryan Adams. The (now) ex played it for me on what turned out to be our last night together. Immediately had bought the same cd after hearing it-now it sits in the cabinet-the song was perfect then-painful now.

'Glory of Love' by Chicago. This song deserves to be dedicated to my SO becaues it completely describes everything we have been through in order to be together....
Tonight it's very clear Cause we're both lying here There's so many things I wanna say I will always love you I will never leave you alone Sometimes I just forget Say things I might regret It breaks my heart to see you crying I don't want to lose you I could never make it alone I am a man who would fight for your honor I'll be the hero you're dreaming of We'll live forever, knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love...

This song says it all to me, the first time I actually listened to the words, I almost started crying...it hit me hard.
Alanis Morissette's "Everything" I can be an asshole of the grandest kind I can withold like it's going out of style I can be the moodiest baby And you've never met anyone As negative as I am sometimes I am the wisest woman you've ever met I'm the kindest soul with whom you've connected I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen And you've never met anyone As positive as I am sometimes You see everything You see every part You see all my light And you love my dark You dig everything Of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here I blame everyone else, not my own partaking My passive agressiveness can be devistating I'm terrified and mistrusting And you've never met anyone who's closed down as I am sometimes You see everything You see every part You see all my light And you love my dark You dig everything Of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go I am the funniest woman that you've ever known I am the dullest woman that you've ever known I am the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known And you've never met anyone as everything as I am sometimes You see everything You see every part You see all my light And you love my dark You dig everything Of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here And you're still here And you're still here To my ex...I would dedicate Alanis's "You Oughta Know" No explanation needed for that one. |

Today the music that's making my day is some stuff from Pete Townsend, especially "Face the Face and Let My Love Open the Door"(both mixes)...older stuff, yeah.... but still great. Townsend's solo work is much deeper than his songs from his songs written for his time with The WHO.

I fell desperately in love at the end of last year, and our song was 'Angels' by Robbie Williams. Damn, it hurts like hell when I hear that song now. Must finish typing now....eyes blurry....

To the one I love(d) (who's been dead almost 3 years- Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Simon and Garfunkel (the Leann Rimes version isn't bad either) This is one of my favorite songs, and is on my IPod, but I can't listen to it without tearing up.
To the one I loathe, I Will Take You Home, by the Grateful Dead.... This is a beautiful lullabye-ish song that's about kind of always being there for someone (this was played for me the night the jackass told me he loved me), and when I needed him the most, he wasn't there.

Alyssa.. I was thinking of that one, but I couldn't remember what it was called. ^_^
I think this is probably my favorite right now... Alanis morissette ~ head over feet I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I’m a princess I’m not used to liking that You ask how my day was (chorus) You’ve already won me over in spite of me Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn’t help it It’s all your fault Your love is think and it swallowed me whole You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for That’s not lip service (repeat chorus) You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met You’re my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long I’ve never felt this healthy before I’ve never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now (repeat chorus) ~ I love you baby

A friend of mine played drums on a demo cd and this song was on it. I LOVE it! If anyone knows who wrote this, let me know. The sentiment of the lyrics is pretty clear and I dedicate it to all the ones in all our lives who 'done us wrong'.
One more night you make me wait Every step I hesitate My imagination Running wild with new revelations I can't help it, it's like a disease You got a crucified Cupid down on its knees I can't help it, I can't walk away And the more I fight it the more I need it Darkest night I hear you call One more brave word for the fall Down inside, my spirit's tied into this small consolation You can't help it, it's down in your soul Like a light that keeps burning out of control I can't help it, it's bigger than me And it's so far gone I almost (made it) Still my eyes are open wide, I can see what's been going on No way out, nowhere to hide, I've heard enough for a lifetime It's not enough to see you cry Oh, I wanna see your world shot down Into a million pieces..... |

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 Right under your clothes Is where I'll 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. 'Cause 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.

Whenever I hear Sade- By Your Side I always think of my husband, Primal. It's funny tho, he hates Sade, so when I sing it to him he puts his hand over my mouth. He's soooo romantic sometimes!
you think i'd leave your side baby you know me better than that you think i'd leave you down when you're down on your knees i wouldn't do that i'll tell you you're right when you want and if only you could see into me ha ah ah ah ah ah oh when you're cold i'll be there hold you tight to me when you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in i will show you you're so much better than you know when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again i will find you darling and i will bring you home and if you want to cry i am here to dry your eyes and in no time you'll be fine

No doubt about Sade singing some very romantic songs! 'By Your Side' is one of her best. Good lovin' tunes.....
Today I heard "Maybe I'm Amazed" (an old love song from the late 70's) by Paul McCartney and thought about how much he loved his wife, Linda. Must be nice. His song "Little Willow" from Flaming Pie of just a few years ago - is sweet & loving, too.

The Brilliant Dance - Dashboard Confessional
So this is odd, the painful realization that has all gone wrong. And nobody cares at all, and nobody cares at all. So you buried all your lover's clothes and burned the letters lover wrote, but it doesn't make it any better. Does it make it any better? And the plaster dented from your fist in the hall where you had your first kiss reminds you that the memories will fade. So this is strange, our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance where nobody leads at all, where nobody leads at all. And the picture frames are facing down and the ringing from this empty sound is deafening and keeping you from sleep. And breathing is a foreign task and thinking's just too much to ask and you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights. This is incredible. Starving, insatiable, yes, this is love for the first time. Well you'd like to think that you were invincible. Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time? Well this is the last time.

This isn't so much about what has happened yet, but what I am most afraid of. 10 years from now, still being very deeply attached to my now ex BF. I feel so deeply for him and I do not want to go on for the rest of my life knowing he's "the one that got away".
Flinch by Alanis Morisette What's it been over a decade? It still smarts like it was four minutes ago We only influenced each other totally We only bruised each other even more so What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad How long can a girl be shackled to you How long before my dignity is reclaimed How long can a girl stay haunted by you Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city My brother saw you somewhere downtown I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin How long can a girl be tortured by you? How long before my dignity is reclaimed And how long can a girl be haunted by you Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in This man knows not of how this information has affected me But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air

'I believe in a thing called love' by The Darkness.... as cheesy as it seems to have one, this is "our song":
Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel Touching you, touching me touching you, god you're touching me I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day You got me in a spin but everythin' is A.OK! Touching you, touching me touching you, god you're touching me I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love |

Past Todd Rundgren....New stuff
I saw you on the street today I could not catch your eye or you'd have heard me say That you look just the same But then I realized We are not even friends and I was so surprised When the teardrops came. I'm living in the past Living in the past, but I know But the past is gone. I know it was the past.

There are many songs I could dedicate to the one I love, but my husband reads these posts and I wouldn't want him to find out.
LOL.....J/K Seriously... " I cross my heart " George Strait always reminds me of him. And to the one I loathe...I won't even waste the time thinking of a song!

I'll give ya two more...
To the one, that we'll be friends again, some day... Wasted Time The Eagles Well baby, there you stand With your little head, down in your hand Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again Your baby's gone, and you're all alone and it looks like the end. And you're back out on the street. And you're tryin' to remember. How will you start it over? You don't know what became. You don't care much for a stranger's touch, But you can't hold your man. You never thought you'd be alone this far down the line And I know what's been on your mind You're afraid it's all been wasted time The autumn leaves have got you thinking about the first time that you fell You didn't love the boy too much, no, no you just loved the boy to well, Farewell So you live from day to day, and you dream about tomorrow, oh. And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay So you take a little something to make them go away And I could have done so many things, baby If I could only stop my mind from wondrin' what I left behind and from worrying 'bout theis wasted time Ooh, another love has come and gone Ooh, and the years keep rushing on I remeber what you told me before you went out on your own: "Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone." So you can get on with your search,baby, and I can get on with mine And maybe someday we will find , that it wasn't really wasted time Mm,hm Oh hoo, ooh, ohh, Ooh,ooh, mm The one I loathe, and it's about time I kicked myself in the butt to do this one.. Don't wanna do the friends thing anymore.... Goodbye to You by Scandal Those times I waited for you seem so long ago I wanted you far too much to ever let you go You know you never got by "I feel it too" And I guess I never could stand to lose It's such a pity to say Goodbye to you Goodbye to you Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too These last few weeks of holding on The days are dull, the nights are long Guess it's better to say Goodbye to you 'Cause baby it's over now No need to talk about it It's not the same My love for you's just not the same And my heart, and my heart And my heart can't stand the strain And my love, and my love And my love won't stand the pain And my heart, and my heart And my heart can't stand the strain And my love, and my love And my love... Goodbye to you Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too These last few weeks of holding on The days are dull, the nights are long Guess it's better to say Goodbye to you Goodbye baby So long darling Goodbye to you
