Who are you singing for? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Even before I had any real contact with girls, I remember listening to songs and imagining situations, possible outcomes, reactions and emotions that could result in a relationship/flirt.

The list of songs that move me emotionally has grown exponentially since then, since I'm a verified introvert, and as such tend to dwell a lot in my own thoughts and emotions. Some songs that bring me to a romantic/what if/thoughtful mood are

Oasis - Wonderwall
A Perfect Circle - Orestes
Pearl Jam - Black
Metallica - Nothing else matters
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter
Madrugada - Hold on to you
Foo Fighters - Everlong

and many many more... You all know what kind of songs I'm talking about. Songs that make you want to sing or scream the lyrics out loud as if you're expressing them to a person.

Now, being very bad with remembering lyrics, I only rarely can really "sing" a song. I do know however, that when I'm very obsessed with a song, in my mind I think about situations that the song could describe, although I've never had a relationship strong enough with a girl to warrant such emotional outbursts as "nostalgy" of past emotions.

So, in the end, I think I really "sing" for someone who will sometime in the future enter my life.

Who do YOU sing for?

Oooh man too many people to list. Sometimes I feel I'm singing for the whole world when really it's just me singing to myself. I am a singer...it's my passion in my soul.

Many MANY more...too many to think of. I know I forgot a shit load. Shit I'm already thinking of some I forgot. Like I said above, I'm a singer. I have a deep seated passion for music so I don't go one day without singing. Unless my voice is stolen away from me by illness I sing every day..even then I still try even if I can't. I just love doing it.

Asta!!

DAMMIT why doesn't this man live in my city? We'd have a blast with K in our band... why can't we find any good singers?

I couldn't hold a tune if it meant my life at gunpoint. Doesn't stop me singing tho. Muse is fun...

K-Wise · 05-12-2005, 04:49 PM

^ Haha where are you guys?! I've wanted to be in a band for quite some time now lol. Had offers but then when push came to shove they never got around to it. I'll find someone soon. I plan to learn guitar eventually so that may be one thing I don't have to look for..except for those times I don't feel like playing and just wanna sing and dance Chris Robinson style! haha

Asta!!

Right now, I'm singing for my sight-singing professor...sigh. Yeah, but I guess I can see what you mean. There are a lot of people in the professional singing world who I think forget that the audience is who cares about your performance - I sing for music's sake, because I feel it's my duty to pay homage to music. It's my life, so I should do my damn best to do justice to all the composers and performers before and after me

TexanAvenger · 05-12-2005, 06:51 PM

I sing for lost loves... and them alone

Rufus Wainwright - Alleluia
Oasis - Wonderwall
Pearl Jam - Black
Radiohead - Creep
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Beatles - The Long And Winding Road, Hey Jude

Let me go drive around for a while... That's where these things come to me

K-Wise · 05-12-2005, 07:00 PM

^ Good list man!
