lyrics that hit home...

My favorite album of all time...Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark...I relate to all the songs on the album but especially this one...People's Parties.

[Only registered members can see links. ]

All the people at this party
They've got a lot of style
They've got stamps of many countries

They've got passport smiles

Some are friendly

Some are cutting

Some are watching it from the wings

Some are standing in the centre

Giving to get something


Photo beauty gets attention

Then her eye paint's running down

She's got a rose in her teeth

And a lampshade crown

One minute she's so happy

Then she's crying on someone's knee

Saying laughing and crying

You know it's the same release


I told you when I met you

[ From: [Only registered members can see links. ] ]

I was crazy

Cry for us all beauty

Cry for eddie in the corner

Thinking he's nobody

And jack behind his joker

And stone-cold grace behind her fan

And me in my frightened silence

Thinking I don't understand


I feel like I'm sleeping

Can you wake me

You seem to have a broader sensibility

I'm just living on nerves and feelings

With a weak and a lazy mind

And coming to peoples parties

Fumbling deaf dumb and blind


I wish I had more sense of humor

Keeping the sadness at bay

Throwing the lightness on these things

Laughing it all away

Laughing it all away

Laughing it all away

Oh well...since I am on Joni Mitchell and this is my favorite album...my other two favorite songs that I relate to...alot

This one is spooky real for me

Court and Spark

[Only registered members can see links. ]

Love came to my door
With a sleeping roll
And a madman's soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark

He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made
In People's Park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark

It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes

"All the guilty people," he said
They've all seen the stain-
On their daily bread
On their christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
I'd complete you

His eyes were the color of the sand
And the sea
And the more he talked to me
The more he reached me
But I couldn't let go of L.A.
City of the fallen angels


Help Me ... I lived this one

[Only registered members can see links. ]

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling, I know
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-taIking-ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

Didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
That's such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

Godsmacks Sully Erna - The Departed

[Only registered members can see links. ]

"The Departed"

To think, beyond what you could think
And feel, beyond what you can feel
To see, beyond what can be seen
And be beyond what we believe
I know you know something
So many miles and miles away
In separation we come together
It never ends change has just begun
Believing as we release the departed.

To know what no one else could know
Away, into the unexplained
Redeem our soul into my body.
To think my soul's been damned again and again and again
I know you know something
So many miles and miles away
Why can't we do better
As the line between begins to fade
In separation we come together
It never ends, change has just begun
Believing as we release the departed
In separation we come together
It never ends change has just begun
Believing as we release the departed.

Trying to be
Higher than I am
Trying to see
Beyond what I can
Trying to be
Higher than I am
Trying to see
Beyond what I can

In separation we come together
It never ends change has just begun
Believing as we release the departed
In separation we come together
It never ends change has just begun
Believing as we release the departed

As we release the departed
As we release the departed
As we release the departed

I think we all know this one . . .

Your mother's eyes look straight through me
Whenever we meet
Your father swears it'll never be
As long as he breaths

And how many times have they told you
That you're too young
How, how I've ached to hold you
But you're too young

If we don't buy what's right or wrong
Then we are sinners
We were never two to tag along
But we were always winners

And how many people, have told you
That you're too young
And how many jealous hands would love to hold you
`Cause you're too young

Well you're too young to love me
And I'm too old for you
At least that's what they tell us
It's in their book of rules
That you're too young, too young baby you're too young

We could try it for a while
But they'd get us in the long run
They say that you're too young, baby you're too young

A few one-liners that really hit home for me:

"Is it by mistake or design that I feel so alone on a Friday night?" -Lana Del Rey, 'Born To Die'
This lyric encapsulates the age of 17 for me, where I would struggle with intense loneliness, but knowing that I was choosing to be alone, because conversation scared me.

"You were pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie." -Sarah McLachlan, 'Angel'
This lyric, the juxtaposition of images, and the theme, it's very hard-hitting. It even relates to the LDR lyric above.

"Forgive me for I did not know, 'cause I was just a boy, and you were so much more than any God could ever plan, more than a woman or a man." -Hedwig & The Angry Inch, 'Wicked Little Town'
This speaks entirely for itself I feel.

Your words are like knives
They peel my skin and pierce my soul
Your body will burn tonight
Though your heart may still remain cold

And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself

The Sheets are stained with
Memories of your soft kiss
Now this is all I have
Paper and pen to remember you with

And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
Can I have you

All the songs from WICKED hits home. I think anyone who has felt that they are a minority can relate to elphaba's lyrics.

But Rihanna's "We found love" music video really hit home.
The situation as well as the snippets of the Japanese night life totally made me feel like someone looked inside my brain and made it into a music video.

"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over,
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done.
But I don't want to live that way,
Reading into every word you say.
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know."

Neil Young...Old Man...this song always slayed me...for years now

[Only registered members can see links. ]

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
And there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
That don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
