What song best defines you today?

[edna]

Song of the week for me: "Mother´s Little Helper" ...

[Otokichi]

"Chain Gang Medley" performed by Jim Croce.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

This was the song that best defined me back in February, and thankfully it's the song that still best defines me today.

Blessed

Martina McBride

I only have one child, instead of children, but if you count the cat as a child, this song is spot on.

I get kissed by the sun each morning

Put my feet on a hardwood floor

I get to hear my children laughing

Down the hall through the bedroom door

Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing

Just soaking up the day

I think to myself, I think to myself

This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed

And I feel like I've found my way

I thank God for all I've been given

At the end of every day

I have been blessed

With so much more than I deserve

To be here with the ones that love me

To love them so much it hurts

I have been blessed

Across a crowded room

I know you know what I'm thinking

By the way I look at you

And when we're lying in the quiet

And no words have to be said

I think to myself, I think to myself

This love is a beautiful gift

I have been blessed

And I feel like I've found my way

I thank God for all I've been given

At the end of every day

I have been blessed

With so much more than I deserve

To be here with the ones that love me

To love them so much it hurts

I have been blessed

When I'm singing my kids to sleep

When I feel you holding me

I know

I have been blessed

And I feel like I've found my way

I thank God for all I've been given

At the end of every day

I have been blessed

With so much more than I deserve

To be here with the ones that love me

To love them so much it hurts

I have been blessed

Hell in a Bucket ~ Grateful Dead

Just because I feel crappy and just blah...hell in a bucket...

[TheLizard]

Behind Blue Eyes. Seriously. It sucks.

Grey Day ~ Madness

In the morning I awake,

My arms my legs my body aches,

The sky outside is wet and grey

So begins another weary day.

So begins another weary day.

[Sweet Jane 61]

Comfortably Numb ~ Floyd

[Sweet Jane 61]

Hey johnny...nice to see your friendly face!

[The Seeker]

Brothers In Arms -- Dire Straits

Through these fields of destruction

Baptisms of fire

I've watched all your suffering

As the battles raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

Just change the general meaning a bit.

[The Seeker]

[Ombre Vivante]

It is the best song ever made

[Farin]

if you say so

[Ombre Vivante]

It's a fact... a songfact

[Farin]

... which of course made me look for the songfacts of the song... only to realise that... there are none!

"There But for Fortune"

Phil Ochs

Show me a prison, show me a jail

Show me a pris'ner whose face has grown pale

And I'll show you a young man

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me an alley, show me a train

Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain

And I'll show you a young man

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor

Show me a drunk as he stumbles out the door

And I'll show you a young man

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me a country where the bombs had to fall

Show me the ruins of buildings so tall

And I'll show you a young land

With many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or I

You or I

Isn´t it just beautiful? I know this song since it was released and I still find it poignant.

This Is How You Remind Me- Nickelback

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

for handing you a heart worth breaking

and I've been wrong, i've been down,

to the bottom of every bottle

these five words in my head

scream "are we having fun yet?"

I want to know what you did that Indiana won't allow you back.
