A song about living for today and not worrying about tomorrow.

"Today"- Smashing Pumpkins


Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

Today is
Today is
Today is
Today is the greatest day

I have many songs that Inspire, Comfort, Impart Wisdom, Soothe, and Remind me of Another!
One that meant a lot to me after a difficult breakup was Garth Brooks' "The Dance"... An ex and I had danced under the stars after work (we were co-workers)... After she broke up with me, this song put some things into perspective... No matter how much it may hurt, nothing should dimish the joy you had felt... joy you would have missed had you never been together!

The Dance

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

WHEN THE COAST IS CLEAR
Jimmy Buffett & Mac MacAnally

They're closin' down the hangout
The air is turnin' cool
They'r shuttin' off the "superslide"
The kids are back in school

The tourist traps are empty
Vacancy abounds
Almost like it used to be
Before the circus came to town

(CHORUS)
That's when it always happens
Same time every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear

Hello mister other me
It's been a long time
We hardly get to have these chats
That in itself's a crime

So tell me all your troubles
I'll surely tell you mine
We'll laugh and smoke and cuss and joke
And have a glass of wine

(CHORUS)
That's where it always happens
Same place every year
I come down and talk to me
When the coast is clear

(INSTRUMENTAL)

It's the only place he knows
Where it always happens
Same place every year
I come down and talk to me
When the coast is clear

Here is one that has always had a profound impact on me:

Ill Be Here Where the Heart Is

It's the song that just keeps playing on the radio
And you know I haven't seen you for a while
I lie awake at night and wonder how you are
And I wish that I could see you again

Is it fate, or is it luck that brings us back
Or is it just a common point of view
Time has put a spell on you, you never seem to change
I wish that I could see you again

I'll be there where the heart is
When the dreams that we've been after all come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you

It's the light that just keeps shining day after day
And other loves have come and gone
And I'll be here with open arms to take you in
I wish that I could see you again

I'll be there where the heart is
When the dreams that we've been after all come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you

And in between, and when I need to see you again
All I have to do is close my eyes
Are the pictures comin' in my friend
I'll hold you again, but until then

Here's another song that had a great effect on me. I have had some memorable romances and not always good.

Comin' In And Out Of Your Life

I still can remember
The last time I cried
I was holding you and loving you
Knowing it would end

I never felt so good
Yet felt so bad
You're the one i love
And what makes it sad
Is you don't belong to me

And I can remember
The last time I lied
I was holding you and telling you
We could still be friends

Tried to let you go
But I can't, you know
And even though i'm not with you
I need you so
But you don't belong to me

Chorus:
Comin' in and out of your life
Isn't easy,
When there are so many nights
I can't hold you and i've told you
These feelings are so hard to find
Comin' in and out of your life
Will never free me
'cause I don't need to touch you
To feel you, it's so real with you

I just can't get you out of my mind
But i can remember the last time we tried
Each needing more than we could give
And knowing all the time
A stronger love
Just can't be found
Even though at times this crazy world
Is turning up-side-down
You'll always belong to me

Hey, I think I have a Radiohead song on my playlist, imagine that

How thoughtful I must be!

As far as songs with inspiring lyrics, I just heard this song called "More Love" on Pandora- I'll have to look into who sings it and post up the lyrics.

Great

I really find a lot of inspiration from Garth Brooks' songs!
I used to listen to "The River" a lot when I was going through stressful times some years ago!

The River by Garth Brooks

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And the dreamer`s just the vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what`s behind you
And never knowing what`s in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.

(chorus)
And I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I`ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry.

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
`Til what we put off `til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don`t you sit upon the shoreline
And say you`re satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.

And I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I`ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry.

And there`s bound to be rough waters
And I know I`ll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.

Yes I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I`ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry.

Yes, I will sail my vessel
`Til the river runs dry
`Til the river runs dry

LOVE Incubus! Listened to them a lot in the late 90's thru early 2000's. First off, great thread, music plays a big part in my life. I have been to over 50 concerts, from LA to New York just to see a band. If I lost my iPod, I would cry! Music can move you, inspire you, make you cry, I always look for music with lyrics with meaning, music that sends a message, even if that person is only YOU!

A song by a band that has many causes, voted the number one animal friendly band by the People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( all but one are vegetarians ). They are political, they promote activism,they are about the underdogs in the world, a relatively new band to me.

The band is Rise Against- the song is "Give it All". A song you must put on when you are up against a brick wall and the only way out is to GO THROUGH the F'ING WALL!

" Give It All "- Rise Against

Break through the undertow, your hands I can't seem to find,
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can't speak so I

Stop my struggling, then I float to the surface,
Fill my lungs with air, then let it out

I give it all, now there's a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it's these reasons that belong to me

Rock bottoms where we live, and still we dig these trenches,
To bury ourselves in them, backs breaking under tension

For far too long these voices, muffled by distances,
It's time to come to our senses, up from the dirt

We give it all, now there's a reason why I sing,
So give it all, it's these reasons that belong to me

Breathe ( breathe), the air we give (give), the life we live (live), our pulses racing distances,
( breathe) so wet my tongue, ( give ), break into song ( live ), through seas of competition

So believe your eyes, a sacrifice,
Is not what we had in our minds,
I'm coming home tonight, home tonight

We give it all, now there's why I sing,
So give it all, and it's these reason's that belong to me

Today I offer all myself to this I'm living for my dying wish,
I give it all, now there's a reason, there's a reason, to give it all

I was thinking of a different and very beautiful love song from Jimmy Buffet

I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don't look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw

Chorus:
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

-- spoken: pick it coral reefers, here we go...

(swing instrumental)

Chorus:
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say, (lord!)
Why don't we get drunk and screw


Yes it's the immortal "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw!!!"

One Love

Songwriters: Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right

As it was in the beginning
So shall it be in the end
Let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks
(One love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask
(One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right

As it was in the beginning
So shall it be in the end

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right

Let's get together to fight this holy Armageddon
When the man comes, there will be no, no doom
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of creation

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right


Dave

Yes, he is a lyrical genius! I would marry and have his babies in a heartbeat! I did, I did, and it was great. I hope they play somewhere near here again in the future, but sadly, I think it may have been their last tour.

Hope everyone's been having a good holiday season. I really like this song, I think we've all been at this point at least once in our lives.

"Will Do" by TV on the Radio

It might be impractical to seek out a new romance
We won't know the actual if we never take the chance
I'd like to collapse with you and ease you against this song
I think we're compatible, I see that you think I'm wrong

Any time will do, my love
Any time will do, no choice of words will break me from this groove
Any time will do, my love
Any time will do, what choice of words will take me back to you?

Your love makes a fool of you, you can't seem to understand
A heart doesn't play by rules and love has it's own demands
But I'll be there to take care of you if ever you should decide
That you don't want to waste your life
In the middle of a lovesick lullaby

Any time will do, my love
Any time will do, no choice of words will break me from this groove
Any time will do, my love
Any time will do, the choicest words will take me back to you

Oh my reddest rose, caldera, set it off
How your fire grows hermosa caldera
Glistening through your fussed blows careen your caldera
Set it off, as your body flows the second hand flashes,
Passes over your skin like time

Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do, my love

Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this groove
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this groove
Anytime will do

No choice of words will break me from this groove
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this groove
Anytime will do
What choice of words will take me back to you

Michael Jackson- the greatest pop star ever! A poignant reminder that neither him nor anyone else is " Invincible "

( chorus)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
and you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
and I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable

Now you can't stop me even though you think
that if you block me, you've done your thing
and when you bury me underneath all your pain
I'm steady laughin', while surfacing

Don't you ever make no mistake
baby, I've got what it takes
and there's no way you'll ever get to me
Why can't you see that you'll never even hurt me
'cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby

(chorus 2X)

You can try to stop me, but it won't do a thing
no matter what you do, I'm still gonna be here
Through all your lies and silly games
I'm a still remain the same, I'm unbreakable

I love this thread! I really am not interested in any music that does not have lyrics that mean something to me. At the moment, I think this one means the most:

Staind - Outside
And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again

All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain

All the times
That I felt insecure
For you

And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you

All those times
That I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All that's wasted
It's all inside

But I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend

And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

"Imagine" by John Lennon:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

GREAT ONE!!! That is actually my favorite song! I was very upset last night when I saw Cee-Lo Green butcher it and even change the words

I can see the truth
It seems to always be there
I'm part of the ruse
It follows me everywhere

I'm a ghost in the background
Nobody really sees me
I don't know where I'm supposed to be

I try to talk to you
A brick wall is all I see
I'm nothing but the air
I still don't see you breathe
My life feels like a joke
I don't have a leg to pull
I've always been standing there
But to you, I'm invisible

They don't notice me
Until they want something done
They don't talk to me
Unless they want to make fun

Like a flame on a candle
Blown out, gone with the wind
Oh, don't you see me standing here, my friend

I try to talk to you
A brick wall is all I see
I'm nothing but the air
I still don't see you breathe
My life feels like a joke
I don't have a leg to pull
I've always been standing there
But to you, I'm invisible

Ignorance can be such a bliss
Unless you're the one they don't miss
All my life, I've been feeling this
Like a view from the inside

Like a book sitting on a shelf
Pages left unturned
Now I know the feeling of being burned

I try to talk to you
A brick wall is all I see
I'm nothing but the air
I still don't see you breathe
My life feels like a joke
I don't have a leg to pull
I've always been standing there
But to you, I'm invisible
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
I'm not invisible

Yes, I can definitely agree with what you said about the feeling! Great song, great band.

This song calls to me whenever I think of a very special lady;

My Love Follows You Where You Go - Alison Krauss

More wishes than a thousand hearts can count for you
More smiles than a merry-go-round
The sweetest ending to a bed-time story told
My love follows you where you go

More laughter than a kindergarten out to play
One Sunday morning song that says it all
More summer than a California beach can hold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise - and you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there - staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

Take forgiveness - take a prayer - take the deepest breath
Take the answers in your heart
When you wake up and the world is cruel and cold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise - and you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there - staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

More freedom than a field of flowers in the wind
More beauty than a morning after rain
Up the steepest hill - a dark and crooked road
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise - and you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there - staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

This is actually a poem, by Robert Frost:

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Such a good song! It's actually my favorite Rolling Stones song. That and Ruby Tuesday

"What A Wonderful World"
The only one that truly gives this song justice and merit is the great LOUIS ARMSTRONG.
Songwriters: George David Weiss, George Douglas, Bob Thiele

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

(instrumental)

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying **spoken** ("I love you")

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
**spoken** (you know their gonna learn A whole lot more than I'll never know)
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Semplicemente bella

Ciao Bella
Carlo Antonio

Alanis Morissette perfected The Break-Up Song with this one. Such blunt honesty, angst, and emotion. I think most women have been in this situation at least once. I know I have.


I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

Well, I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

I absolutley love this song!!!



We can fight our desires
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
And what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(x2)

I hang my hopes out on the line
Will they be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(x2)

Let's go to war
To make peace
Let's be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

here's a piece of something I'm currently working on for this girl I'm kinda crushing on...


Didn't think much of it at first
But I recall the day I first saw you
You were the wildest sight I'd seen
It felt like time throughout the day just flew

It's an easy mistake any man can make
Letting a girl like you slip away
Perhaps I don't want to see what it is we could be
Maybe I am just afraid

So help me get over this shyness
I've never been able to beat
Help me find the words I want to say
I know that it may hurt
But it won't be any worse
If I don't do something today

I love that song. Definitely makes me feel good whenever I hear it.

Pride (In The Name Of Love) By U2

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come here to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love!
One man in the name of love
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resists
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!

...nobody like you...there's nobody like you...

Mmm...mmm...mmm...
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love...


This song always reminds me a a favorite Poem, by Walt Whitman about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln:

O Captain! My Captain!

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Thank you. I am always writing something. I write lyrics all the time but have no music. I've finished this particular piece yesterday and am happy with it.

This is a fun song! I love the beat...

So chic so fine you all looks so divine

This is one that always gets to me:

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" by Elton John

http://youtu.be/RsKqMNDoR4o - This version with both George Michael and EJ is a particular favorite.

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find, oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

Katy Perry Firework
I love this song because to me it says no matter who you are or how your different your special and need to let the world see it!

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
