Here's mine:

 

Favorite song... "Return (Coming Home)" by The Crüxshadows.

 

Lyrics...

Click For Spoiler

I've seen the terrible hand of struggle

and felt the pain the hubris brings

I have tasted the wisdom of divinity

and the horror of its sting

 

And though they tell you i am lost

and their words report my death is come

the fates have left me breathing still

very much alive

 

And though my mind is cut by battles

fought so long ago

I return victorious

I am coming home

And if the paths that I have followed

have tread against the flow

there is no need for sorrow

I am coming home

 

For the distance I have traveled

upon an ocean of despair

have led me back into your arms once more

an answer to a little prayer

 

And though they tell you i am lost

and their words report my death is come

the fates have left me breathing still

very much alive

 

And though my mind is cut by battles

fought so long ago

I return victorious

I am coming home

And if the paths that I have followed

have tread against the flow

there is no need for sorrow

I am coming home

I have a few favorites, and they sometimes change from time to time. But here are two that are always on my list(and I have loved them since I was very little):

 

"Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Darin

Click For Spoiler

Somewhere beyond the sea,

Somewhere, waiting for me,

My lover stands on golden sands

And watches the ships that go sailing;

 

Somewhere beyond the sea,

He's (She's) there watching for me.

If I could fly like birds on high,

Then straight to his (her) arms I'd go sailing.

 

It's far beyond a star,

It's near beyond the moon,

I know beyond a doubt

My heart will lead me there soon.

 

We'll meet beyond the shore,

We'll kiss just as before.

Happy we'll be beyond the sea,

And never again I'll go sailing!

 

and

"Nights In White Satin" by the Moody Blues

Click For Spoiler

Nights in white satin,

Never reaching the end,

Letters I've written,

Never meaning to send.

 

Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before,

Just what the truth is

I can't say anymore.

 

'Cause I love you,

Yes, I love you,

Oh, how, I love you.

 

Gazing at people,

Some hand in hand,

Just what I'm going thru

They can understand.

 

Some try to tell me

Thoughts they cannot defend,

Just what you want to be

You will be in the end,

 

And I love you,

Yes, I love you,

Oh, how, I love you.

Oh, how, I love you.

 

Nights in white satin,

Never reaching the end,

Letters I've written,

Never meaning to send.

 

Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before,

Just what the truth is

I can't say anymore.

 

'Cause I love you,

Yes, I love you,

Oh, how, I love you.

Oh, how, I love you.

 

'Cause I love you,

Yes, I love you,

Oh, how, I love you.

Oh, how, I love you.

 

Spoken: Breathe deep in the gathering gloom

Watch lights fade from every room

Bedsitter people look back and lament

Another day's useless energy's spent

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one

Lonely man cries for love and has none

New mother picks up and suckles her son

Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night

Removes the colors from our sight

Red is grey and yellow white

And we decide which is right

And which is an illusion?

[BakulaBabe 2]

Here's my 3 current favorites.

 

If I Were A Carpenter, by Bobby Darin

Click For Spoiler

If I Were A Carpenter

 

 

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

And have my baby?

 

If a tinker were my trade

Would you still find me

Carryin’ the pots I made

Followin’ behind me?

 

Save my love through loneliness

Save my love through sorrows

I've given you my onliness

Give me your tomorrows.

 

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love me?

Answer me, babe, “Yes, I would.

I would put you above me.”

 

If I were a miller … yeah …

At a mill wheel grindin’

Would you miss your colored blouse

Little girl, your soft shoe shinin’?

 

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

And you have my baby?

 

Would you marry me anyway

And have my baby?

 

Brandy, by Looking Glass

Click For Spoiler

 

 

BRANDY

 

There's a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

Lonely sailors pass the time away

And talk about their homes

 

And there's a girl in this harbor town

And she works layin' whiskey down

They say "Brandy, fetch another round"

She serves them whiskey and wine

 

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

Brandy wears a braided chain

Made of finest silver from the North of Spain

A locket that bears the name

Of the man that Brandy loves

 

He came on a summer's day

Bringin' gifts from far away

But he made it clear he couldn't stay

No harbor was his home

 

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

When he told his sailor stories

She could feel the ocean foam rise

She saw its ragin' glory

But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man

And Brandy does her best to understand

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

At night when the bars close down

Brandy walks through a silent town

And loves a man who's not around

She still can hear him say

 

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

FADE

 

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea

 

Mother Dawn, by Billy Idol

Click For Spoiler

Mother Dawn

 

Hold me, hold me

Breathe the light into me

Hold me, hold me

Mother dawn

Mother dawn

 

Dancing 'round the fire

Circling the flame

Listen to the shadows calling out my name

 

They say

Rock me like a baby

Cradle me in the light

Bathe me in a rainbow

Sun restore my sight

 

Hold me, hold me

Breathe the light into me

Hold me, hold me

Mother dawn (All night long yeah)

 

Hold me, hold me

Breathe the light into me (All night long yeah)

Hold me, hold me

Mother dawn

 

Look into the light

 

Come and take a journey through the land of night

Darkness strokes the face and

Steals away the sight

Night is all around me

Stars are in my hair

I feel them tangled in the secrets we'll

find hidden there all right

Reaching through the madness

To the other side

Where the sun is rising

With her arms held wide

 

Hold me, hold me

Breathe the light into me

Hold me, hold me

Mother dawn (All night long yeah)

(Till the dawn light comes)

 

Hold me, hold me

Breathe the light into me (All night long yeah)

Hold me, hold me

Mother dawn (All night long)

(I know you're gonna love me)

(I know you're gonna love me)

 

One star flew against the tapestry of the night

And the earth revolved in perfect symmetry

To a symphony of sun

The moon danced its final bow

As the birth of day

Exploded

In my eyes

 

Reaching through the madness

To the other side

Where the sun is rising

With her arms held wide

 

Rock me like a baby

Cradle me in light

You're gonna bathe me in a rainbow

And the sun restore my sight

 

Hold me, hold me

Breathe the light into me

Hold me, hold me

Mother dawn

 

Hold me, hold me (All night long yeah)

Breathe the light into me

(Till the dawn light comes yeah)

Hold me, hold me (All night long yeah)

Mother dawn (I know you're gonna love me yeah)

I know you're

Gonna love me

All night long yeah

Till the dawn light comes

All night long yeah

I know you're gonna love me love me

All night long yeah

Till the dawn light comes

All night long yeah

I know you're gonna love me love me

Mother dawn

How can I pick just one?

 

Ok, I'll pick what I like most on the radio, one that I search for.

 

 

Sunday Morning

Maroon 5

 

 

 

Sunday morning rain is falling

Steal some covers share some skin

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable

You twist to fit the mold that I am in

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew

That someday it would lead me back to you

That someday it would lead me back to you

 

That may be all I need

In darkness she is all I see

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow on Sunday morning

And I never want to leave

 

Fingers trace your every outline

Paint a picture with my hands

Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm

Change the weather still together when it ends

 

That may be all I need

In darkness she is all I see

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow on Sunday morning

And I never want to leave

 

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you

Singing someday it'll bring me back to you

Find a way to bring myself back home to you

 

And you may not know

That may be all I need

In darkness she is all I see

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow?

[VaBeachGuy 12]

It's impossible to pick only one but since I can't really put all of the lyrics to all of my favorites here I'll put one of the most classic...

 

Don't Be Cruel by Elvis in 1956

 

Click For Spoiler

You know I can be found,

sitting home all alone,

If you can't come around,

at least please telephone.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

 

Baby, if I made you mad

for something I might have said,

Please, let's forget the past,

the future looks bright ahead,

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love,

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

 

Don't stop thinking of me,

don't make me feel this way,

Come on over here and love me,

you know what I want you to say.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Why should we be apart?

I really love you baby, cross my heart.

 

Let's walk up to the preacher

and let us say I do,

Then you'll know you'll have me,

and I'll know that I'll have you,

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love,

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

 

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love,

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

I Shall Believe - Shery Crow

Come to me now

And lay your hands over me

Even if it's a lie

Say it will be alright

And I shall believe

I'm broken in two

And I know you're on to me

That I only come home

When I'm so all alone

But I do believe

 

That not everything is gonna be the way

You think it ought to be

It seems like every time I try to make it right

It all comes down on me

Please say honestly you won't give up on me

And I shall believe

And I shall believe

 

Open the door

And show me your face tonight

I know it's true

No one heals me like you

And you hold the key

 

Never again

would I turn away from you

I'm so heavy tonight

But your love is alright

And I do believe

 

That not everything is gonna be the way

You think it ought to be

It seems like every time I try to make it right

It all comes down on me

Please say honestly

You won't give up on me

And I shall believe

I shall believe

And I shall believe

 

I fell in love with the song after watching the episode of Roswell called End of the world.

The War - Second Coming

 

Click For Spoiler

"THE WAR"

 

I was enlisted at the age of twelve

Back then, it seemed

I was cheated

There was a thousand miles between us

And I can't see a damn thing

 

Takin' a ride

I'm off to the (war)

They all knew I wasn't

Coming home

My ticket's burned

I don't know why

Unlucky am I

 

The end was coming

My patience running out

There was no hope to speak oj

Inside

 

I was down to pennies

If there was anyway

To sell my soul

I surely have tried

 

But now I'm back with

A fist full of words

Layin' down some blues

That you ain't never heard

Life is just groovy

And it tastes like it should

I got me a hawg

And a place in the woods

Lungs full of herb

And it's all good!

 

Takin' a ride

I'm back from the war

Think it's time they all

Knew I was home

My ticket's good

I'll tell you why

How lucky am I!

 

If home is where it's at

Do I get another chance?

This time around

I said if home is where it's at

Do I get another chance?

 

I'll bring you a

Taste of war

How lucky am I!

My ticket's good

I'll tell you why

How lucky am I?

 

Or so I pretend

 

This song reminds me so much of the tough times I have had in my life and reminds me to be thankful every day for the fact that I'm still here and living.

My favorite song right now is "Harder Than the First Time" by Barlow Girl. Thay are the coolest Christian band ever!

[Yillara Skye 1]

Here is another that is always high on my list..(like the other two, it is a song I have liked since I was very young)

 

 

"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot.

Click For Spoiler

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

When the skies of November turn gloomy.

 

With a load of iron ore - 26,000 tons more

Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty

That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed

When the gales of November came early

 

The ship was the pride of the American side

Coming back from some mill in Wisconson

As the big freighters go it was bigger than most

With a crew and the Captain well seasoned.

 

Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms

When they left fully loaded for Cleveland

And later that night when the ships bell rang

Could it be the North Wind they'd been feeling.

 

The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound

And a wave broke over the railing

And every man knew, as the Captain did, too,

T'was the witch of November come stealing.

 

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait

When the gales of November came slashing

When afternoon came it was freezing rain

In the face of a hurricane West Wind

 

When supper time came the old cook came on deck

Saying fellows it's too rough to feed ya

At 7PM a main hatchway caved in

He said fellas it's been good to know ya.

 

The Captain wired in he had water coming in

And the good ship and crew was in peril

And later that night when his lights went out of sight

Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

 

Does anyone know where the love of God goes

When the words turn the minutes to hours

The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay

If they'd fifteen more miles behind her.

 

They might have split up or they might have capsized

They may have broke deep and took water

And all that remains is the faces and the names

Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

 

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings

In the ruins of her ice water mansion

Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams,

The islands and bays are for sportsmen.

 

And farther below Lake Ontario

Takes in what Lake Erie can send her

And the iron boats go as the mariners all know

With the gales of November remembered.

 

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed

In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral

The church bell chimed, 'til it rang 29 times

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

 

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee

Superior, they say, never gives up her dead

When the gales of November come early.

[Valeris 2]

I have lots of songs I like a whole lot, so I will just put two here that I like and can identify with.

 

"Twilight" by Vanessa Carlton:

 

Click For Spoiler

I was stained with a role

in a day not my own

but as you walked into my life

you showed what needed to be shown

I always knew what was right

I just didn’t know that I might

peel away and choose to see

with such a difference sight

 

and I will never see the sky the same way

and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

and I will never cease to fly if held down

and I will always reach too high cause I've seen

cause I've seen twilight

 

never cared never wanted

never sought to see what flaunted

so on purpose so in my face

couldn’t see beyond my own place

it was so easy not to behold what I could hold

but you taught me I could change

whatever came within these shallow days

 

and I will never see the sky the same way

and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

and I will never cease to fly if held down

and I will always reach too high cause I've seen

cause I've seen twilight

 

as the sun shines through it pushes away

and pushes ahead

it fills the warmth of blue

and leaves a chill instead and

I didn’t know that I could be

so blind to all that is so real

but as illusion dies

I see there is so much to be revealed

 

and I will never see the sky the same way

and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

and I will never cease to fly if held down

and I will always reach too high cause I've seen

cause I've seen twilight

 

I was stained with a role

in a day not my own

but as you walked into my life

you showed what needed to be shown

I always knew what was right

I just didn’t know that I might

peel away and choose to see

with such a difference sight

 

and I will never see the sky the same way

and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

and I will never cease to fly if held down

and I will always reach too high cause I've seen

cause I've seen twilight

 

"Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence:

 

Click For Spoiler

how can you see into my eyes like open doors

leading you down into my core

where I’ve become so numb without a soul

my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

until you find it there and lead it back home

 

wake me up inside

wake me up inside

call my name and save me from the dark

bid my blood to run before I come undone

save me from the nothing I’ve become

 

now that I know what I’m without

you can't just leave me

breathe into me and make me real

bring me to life

 

wake me up inside

wake me up inside

call my name and save me from the dark

bid my blood to run before I come undone

save me from the nothing I’ve become

bring me to life

 

frozen inside without your touch without your love

darling only you are the life among the dead

 

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see

kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems

got to open my eyes to everything

without a thought without a voice without a soul

don't let me die here there must be something more

bring me to life

[VaBeachGuy 12]

Sometimes I'm just in the mood for this kind of song...

 

Blame it all on my roots

I showed up in boots

And ruined your black tie affair

The last one to know

The last one to show

I was the last one

You thought you'd see there

And I saw the surprise

And the fear in his eyes

When I took his glass of champagne

And I toasted you

Said, honey, we may be through

But you'll never hear me complain

 

'Cause I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

 

Well, I guess I was wrong

I just don't belong

But then, I've been there before

Everything's all right

I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

Hey, I didn't mean

To cause a big scene

Just give me an hour and then

Well, I'll be as high

As that ivory tower

That you're livin' in

 

'Cause I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

 

[3rd Verse:]

I guess I was wrong

I just don't belong

But then, I've been there before

And everything is alright

I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just wait 'til I finish this glass

Then sweet little lady

I'll head back to the bar

And you can kiss my as.s

 

'Cause I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places

Because it never fails to put me in a good mood. I know several people have done this song, but I like the Jimmy Cliff version best.

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for

It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sun-Shiny day.

 

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies

Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

I love The reason by Hoobastank,when i hear this song i get all mushy and when Hang sings it to me*crumble*

 

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

Thats why i need you to hear

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is You [x4]

 

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

"I Would Never" by Blue Nile

 

 

I have walked

A thousand miles

I have worked

As fast as I can

And I have raised

A precious child

To be a man

 

But I would never

Turn my back

On your love

 

And I have gone

Up and down

Yeah I have wandered

From place to place

And I have raised my weary hand

To my face

 

But I would never

Turn my back

On your love

 

Is there anybody there who knows me?

Is there any body there who knows now?

That I will be home soon

 

And I would never

Turn my back

On your love

 

When the sun is going down

And there are colours

Against the sky

I have seen my home town

In your eyes

 

But I would never

Turn my back

Yeah I have learned

To face the fact

No I would never

Turn my back

On your love

 

Hey yeah yeah

Hey yeah yeah

 

I would never

Turn my back

On your love

I had never heard this song before, until I was playing "Karaoke Revolution" for Playstation2. We had set the last round of competition on Random, and that song popped up. My mom & I sang it and got a good combined score(yeah, the song is sung by guys, but in the game you can sing higher or lower if you need to...all you got to do is try to match the pitch), but we both agreed that it actually was not that bad of a song at all. Probably would not place it in our top ten lists, but not a bad one at all.

Another song that I have come to like (courtesy of the game I mentioned earlier...)

 

White Flag by Dido

Click For Spoiler

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,

Or tell you that.

But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it

where's the sense in that?

 

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder

Or return to where we were

 

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

 

I know I left too much mess and

destruction to come back again

And I caused nothing but trouble

I understand if you can't talk to me again

And if you live by the rules of "it's over"

then I'm sure that that makes sense

 

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

 

And when we meet

Which I'm sure we will

All that was there

Will be there still

I'll let it pass

And hold my tongue

And you will think

That I've moved on....

 

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

 

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

 

I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be

Here's another one, Let Me See by Clannad. The lyrics have a lot of personal meaning to me.

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

[Yillara Skye 1]

On My Own from the musical, Les Miserables. I have always adored this play and especially this song, however it is a song has quite a bit of meaning for me nowadays

Eponine

And now I'm all alone again

Nowhere to turn, no one to go to

Without a home without a friend

Without a face to say hello to

And now the night is near

I can make believe he's here

 

Sometimes I walk alone at night

When everybody else is sleeping

I think of him and I'm happy

With the company I'm keeping

The city goes to bed

And I can live inside my head

 

On my own

Pretending he's beside me

All alone

I walk with him till morning

Without him

I feel his arms around me

And when I lose my way I close my eyes

And he has found me

 

In the rain the pavement shines like silver

All the lights are misty in the river

In the darkness,

The trees are full of starlight

And all I see is him and me

Forever and forever

 

And I know it's only in my mind

That I'm talking to myself and not to him

And although I know that he is blind

Still I say, there's a way for us

 

I love him

But when the night is over

He is gone

The river's just a river

Without him

The world around me changes

The trees are bare and everywhere

The streets are full of strangers

 

I love him

But every day I'm learning

All my life

I've only been pretending

Without me

His world would go on turning

A world that's full of happiness

That I have never known

 

I love him

I love him

I love him

But only on my own.

 

And

 

Níl Sé Ina Lá (Níl Sé'n Lá) by Clannad

I love to dance along with this one! I also plan on learning how to sing it too.

Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir

is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.

Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor.

Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile."

 

 

Curfá:

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.

 

 

Chuir mé féin mo lámh i mo phóca

is d'iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi.

Is é dúirt sí liom "Suigh síos ag bord

is bí ag ól anseo go maidin."

 

 

Curfá

 

 

"Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí,

cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata

go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir

a bheas ag ól anseo go maidin."

 

 

Curfá

 

 

Nach mise féin an fear gan chéill

a d'fhág mo chíos in mo scornaigh?

D'fhág mé léan orm féin

is d'fhág mé séan ar dhaoine eile.

 

 

Translation

 

 

I went into a tavern, and the barkeep,

doesn't much care for the look of me.

I look like I've got no money on me.

She tells me to hit the road.

 

 

I put my hand into my pocket,

I asked if she could break a shilling.

She said to me "Sit down at the table,

you'll be drinking here 'till morning."

 

 

She roused the man of the house,

tells him to get up, put his trousers and hat on,

and go out and find a musician to entertain me,

so I'll stay here drinking until morning.

 

 

Was I the man without sense

to leave my money when I'd been scorned?

I left woefully,

I left a sign to other people.

[Wishfire 2]

Here's another one, again by The Crüxshadows.

 

This one is called Winterborn (This Sacrifice).

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride

For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave

And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes

(my eyes are closed)

We will give strength to those who still remain

 

So bury fear, for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember

And avoid our fate

 

(I've waited all day in the pouring rain, but nobody came, no, nobody came)

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith is come

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

 

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love

Think of the faces of the people you defend

(you defend)

And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes

(my eyes are closed)

Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry

 

So bury fear, for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember

And avoid our fate

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in God

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour

I will be your light

A lifetime for this destiny

For I am Winter born

And in this moment..I will not run

It is my place to stand

We few shall carry hope

Within our bloodied hands

(bloodied hands)

And in our Dying, we're more alive-than we have ever been

I've lived for these few seconds

For I am Winter born

 

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be the light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in man

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

 

Within this moment now

I am for you, though better men have failed

I will give my life for love

For I am Winter born

And in my dying

I'm more alive, than I have ever been

I will make this sacrifice

For I am Winter born

 

 

If you haven't guessed by now, I'm a huge fan of the Crüxshadows.

My favorite song right now is "Waitin' For A Superman". It is a sad song about how even Superman can't help us with everything. The person who wrote this song got the inspiration for it because his dad was dying of cancer. Below is the lyrics and the song, which is a cover of the original song by the Flaming Lips, this version is by Fightstar. I think this version is cool.

Asked you a question

I didn't need you to reply

Is it gettin' heavy?

But they'll realize

Is it gettin' heavy?

Well I thought it was already as heavy

As can be

 

Is it overwhelming

To use a crane to crush a fly?

It's a good time for Superman

To lift the sun into the sky

 

'Cause it's gettin' heavy

Well I thought it was already as heavy

As can be

 

Tell everybody

Waitin' for Superman

That they should try to hold on

Best they can

He hasn't dropped them

Forgot them

Or anything

It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

 

Is it gettin' heavy?

Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be.

 

Tell everybody

Waitin' for Superman

That they should try to hold on

Best they can

He hasn't dropped them

Forgot them

Or anything

It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
