Whats your anthem?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

Actually I like "Ball and Chain" by Social Distortion too.

[RikerChick 5]

Let Me See by Clannad. It didn't occur to me till I was listening to it tonight how perfectly the words fit where I am in my life right now.

Let Me See

Let me see generation times

Will we hear children singing rhymes

 

Sweet memories gone by

They're gone by

 

Let me be wiser with my eyes

Let me see my love by my side

 

Let me see heaven

 

Lonely tears of searching the wilderness

How this world can lead us all astray

Don't let me cry over colourless pictures

 

No more bitter winds

 

No more troubled seas

 

Just forgive me

 

And let me see

 

Let me see my love

 

Let me see

 

Let me see my love

 

Let me see (Refren)

 

Crossing the room

I recognize the child in me

I'll close my eyes to release away all my fears

 

We silence the rose to see it blossom back again

Step by step we walk on

Word by word we talk on

 

Just forgive me

 

And let me see

[Odie 0]

Here in mine.

 

Music of the Night

Click For Spoiler

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Charles Hart

Additional Lyrics: Richard Stillgoe

Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux

 

Night time sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness wakes

And stirs imagination

Silently the senses

Abandon their defenses

Helpless to resist the notes I write

For I compose the music of the night

 

Slowly, gently

Night unfurls its splendor

Grasp it, sense it

Tremulous and tender

Turn your face away

From the garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night

 

Close your eyes

And embelish on your darkest dreams,

Purge all thoughts of the life you knew before,

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar

And you'll live like you've never lived before

 

Softly, deftly

Music shall caress you

Hear it, feel it

Secretly possess you

Open up your mind

Let your fantasies unwind

In this darkness which you know you cannot fight

The darkness of the music of the night

 

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world,

leave all thoughts of the world you knew before,

let your soul take you where you long to be,

only then can you belong to me.

 

Floating, falling

Sweet intoxication

Touch me, trust me

Savor each sensation

Let the dream begin

Let your darker side give in

To the power of the music that I write

The power of the music of the night

 

You alone can make my song take flight

Help me make the music of the night

I have a few.. but of the moment, "Taking Over Me" by Evanescence seems to be current focus one.

 

...

i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you

but who can decide what they dream?

and dream i do...

 

i believe in you

i'll give up everything just to find you

i have to be with you to live to breathe

you're taking over me...

A selection from the song.

 

 

There are sections of My Immortal and Bring Me To Life, also by Evanescence, that make a bunch of sense for me too. But then again, I just adore the songs. (Ok, so I really like the Fallen album, as well as Anywhere But Home.)

 

 

Also: Reflections from the soundtrack of Lost Horizon.

When you look at yourself do you like what you see?

 

If you like what you see, you're the person you should be.

 

'Cause your reflection reflects in everything you do,

 

and everything you do reflects on you.

 

When you wake up each day do you like how you feel?

 

If you like how you feel, you've got nothing to conceal.

 

'Cause your reflection reflects in everything you do,

 

and everything you do reflects on you.

 

Doing something for someone else isn't really for someone else.

 

It does twice as much for you as something you do just for yourself.

 

When you lay down to sleep do you like all your dreams?

 

If you like all your dreams, life's as happy as it seems.

 

'Cause your reflection reflects in everything you do,

 

and everything you do reflects on you.

I LOVE those songs!!!!! B)

[Gotabite 0]

I am an "old hippie". I am very much attached to the ballads and folk songs of the sixties and early seventies. Those songs will tell you very much about who I am.

[Takara_Soong 4]

It really depends on my mood. Here's a short list:

• the theme to Star Trek Enterprise (prefer the original version)
  
• Resikan flute music from The Inner Light
  
• In My Life by the Beatles
  
• I Will Remember You by Sarah McLaughlin
  
• Consequence Free by Great Big Sea
  
• I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John
  
• Watching the Wheels by John Lennon
  
• Imagine by John Lennon
  
• I'm So Bored With The USA by The Clash (nothing personal to my American friends)
  
• God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols
  
• Teacher by George Michael

Ever since Robert first heard this song he's said it was written for him.

 

Tim McGraw- My Next Thirty Years

 

Click For Spoiler

I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age

The ending of an era and the turning of a page

Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here

Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

 

Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun

Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done

Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears

And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years

 

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores

Cry a little less, laugh a little more

Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear

Figure out just what I’m doing here

In my next thirty years

 

Oh my next thirty years, I’m gonna watch my weight

Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late

Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers

Maybe I’ll remember my next thirty years

 

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life

Raise a little family and hang out with my wife

Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear

Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years

In my next thirty years

 

 

And another one for me, suits me perfectly.

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, when I'm singing my kids to sleep

When I feel you holding me

I know

 

I am so 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
