  1. Songs about healing and staying strong

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    One that helped me a lot is "I Survived You" by Clay Aiken.

    If you like country "There's More To Me Than You" by Jessica Andrews is a good one, and she recorded two versions--one is really up-tempo and fun and the other is a slow ballad-type. There's also "I'm Movin' On" by Rascal Flatts. Very good one.

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I hope they help and I'll keep trying to think of more.

    I have loved BHG since I was like 15, my best friends in high school and I damn near wore out my One Fierce Beer Coaster cd. I just love that feeling of "Oh my GOD! They did NOT just say that!" (the "I think that's hilarious" way, not the "I'm so offended" way)

    I like Toby Keith's song about the terrorists and 9/11. I wish someone would post thost lyrics.

    That would be The Angry American (Courtesy Of The Red, White, and Blue)

    American girls and American guys

    Will always stand up and salute

    Will always recognize

    When they see Old Glory flyin'

    There's a lot of men dead

    So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our heads

    My daddy served in the army where he lost his right eye

    But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died

    He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me

    To grow up and live happy in the land of the free

    Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack

    A mighty sucker-punch came flying in from somewhere in the back

    Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye

    Man, we lit up your world like the Fourth of July

    (chorus:)

    Hey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list

    And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist

    And the eagle will fly, and it's gonna be hell

    When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell

    And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you

    Aww, Brought to you courtesy

    Of the red white and blue

    Ooh, justice will be served and the battle will rage

    This big dog will fight when rattle his cage

    And you'll be sorry that you messed with the US of A

    'Cause we'll put a boot in your @$$, it's the American way

    (repeat chorus)

  5. Back in the day - Tef & Jon / Ahmad

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I don't know what the song you're asking about is, but now I have one stuck in my head that's bugged me since high school... it's a hip-hoppish song, it was in a trailer for some movie with Omar Epps I think, and the chorus went "Back in the day, when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, but somedays I sit and wish I was a kid again."

    That gets stuck in my head on a continuous loop just about every time anyone says "Back in the day" Anyone know the name of it? Or the artist?

  15. Songs for a golddigger ex

    in Questions and Answers

    You Wanted More - Tonic

    Love Is Tragic

    Love Is Bold

    You Will ALways

    Do What You Are Told

    Love Is Hard

    Love Is Strong

    You Will Never Say That You Were Wrong

    I Don't Know When I Got Bitter

    But Love Is Surely Better When It's Gone

    (Chorus:)

    'Cause You Wanted More

    More than I could give

    More than I could handle

    In a life that I can't live

    You wanted more

    More than I could bear

    More than I could offer

    For a love that isn't there

    Love is color

    Love is loud

    Love is never saying you're too proud

    Love is trusting

    Love is honest

    Love is not a hand to hold you down

    I don't know when I got bitter

    But love is surely better when it's gone

    (repeat chorus)

    I got to pick me up when I am down

    I got to get my feet back on the ground

    I got to pick me up when I am down

    (repeat chorus)

    Hope that helps :)

    These have all probably been mentioned already, but here's my list:

    Tori Amos

    Indigo Girls

    Melissa Etheridge

    Aimee Mann

    Poe (I've loved her since I was in like 7th grade)

  19. Billy Joel song?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I'm having a brain-fart on the title of this Billy Joel song and I figure it'll probably be faster and easier to just ask here, considering I'm addicted to these boards and I can't leave.

    Okay, I know it's Billy Joel, and it's a relatively obscure song, but the only words I can remember are "...it's either sadness or euphoria" which I believe is the last line of the chorus because I remember it several different ways.

    :help:

  22. name?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Annabelle's right, it is "Bookends Theme" (I just so happened to have the movie in my DVD player as I was reading the boards)

    "Bookends" plays at the beginning, which is basically the same music but has lyrics.

    Time it was and what a time it was it was,

    A time of innocence a time of confidences.

    Long ago it must be, I have a photograph

    Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

    Hope that helps, and welcome ::

  23. Concerts You've Attended

    in Concerts

    Posted

    Billy Joel & Elton John (thrice, '95, '01, and '02)

    Bruce Springsteen (one of my top 3 favorite shows)

    Cheap Trick opening for...

    AEROSMITH (the best all-around performance I've seen)

    Eric Clapton (GOD. He's GOD. Not "a" god. The God.)

    Linkin Park/Hoobastank/I forget who else (the Meteora tour)

    Barenaked Ladies

    Madonna (who didn't do an encore, which was kinda disappointing. I'd never been to a show where there was no encore.)

    John Mayer (thrice)

    Dave Matthews Band

    And then there's the embarassing ones... *NSYNC (twice), Britney (also twice), Backstreet Boys, and Ricky Martin. My uncle's the president of Philip's Arena so I can usually get tickets to just about anything and sometimes my friends decide we should go to shows like that because it's free and usually pretty funny.

  25. If you could be any rock star...

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I'd be Tori Amos... God, to be able to play piano like that and to write those lyrics... she's so passionate I'm at a loss for words.

    (on a side note, completely ruining my mood, "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx just came up on my playlist. Ironically enough, that's the only song I can play on the piano, unless you count the Ducktales Theme :doh:)
