I think so. Actually, I think this is one of the best "uplifting" songs I'v ever heard. That song got me through one of the worst times in my life. 'No there ain't no one who's gonna turn me around" is a knockout chorus. Another entry in the sad song sweepstakes: Then She Did - Jane's Addiction
Ben Fold's Five??? That's no way to get over a b*tch! Here's some that will help your melancholy disappear. Chumbawamba - Tubthumping: "I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down..." Dr. Dre ft. Snoop - The Chronic "B*tches ain't sh*t but hoes and tricks. Lick on deez nuts and suck da dicks. Gets the f*ck out when I got done. Then I hops in the back to make a quick run..." Ludacris - You's a Ho You's a Ho! You's a Ho! I said that you's a ho! HO!
What about: Ludacris-Move b****?? Move b**** get out the way, get out the way b****, get out the way lol j/k
Huh. To me, it always sounds like a kind of 'desperate last stand' song. But that could be because I think even the most cheerful of Big Star's songs are very... fragile. Even the theme to That 70s Show. I just realised that I missed out a *huge* genre of breakup songs. Soul! The Rhino box Can You Dig It? The Seventies Soul experience is just the tip of the iceberg. 'Band of Gold'; 'Thin Line Between Love and Hate'; 'Have You Seen Her'; 'Everybody Plays the Fool'; 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'; 'I Can't Stand the Rain'. Or the sixties box, Beg, Scream and Shout. 'I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)'; 'Piece of My Heart'; 'Bye Bye Baby'; 'Maybe'; 'Tainted Love'; 'My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me'. Funnily enough, these two boxes are some of the most uplifting listening experiences ever. Fantastic stuff. Women and gay men checklist: 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor. 'You're No Good' by Linda Ronstadt.
Full Of Grace the winter here's cold, and bitter it's chilled us to the bone we haven't seen the sun for weeks to long too far from home I feel just like I'm sinking and I claw for solid ground I'm pulled down by the undertow I never thought I could feel so low oh darkness I feel like letting go if all of the strength and all of the courage come and lift me from this place I know I could love you much better than this full of grace full of grace my love so it's better this way, I said having seen this place before where everything we said and did hurts us all the more its just that we stayed, too long in the same old sickly skin I'm pulled down by the undertow I never thought I could feel so low oh darkness I feel like letting go if all of the strength and all of the courage come and lift me from this place I know I could love you much better than this full of grace full of grace my love Another Sarah Mac song played in its entirity on a season finale of Buffy. Do What You Have To Do What ravages of spirit conjured this temptuous rage created you a monster broken by the rules of love and fate has lead you through it you do what you have to do and fate has led you through it you do what you have to do ... and I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go every moment marked with apparitions of your soul I'm ever swiftly moving trying to escape this desire the yearning to be near you I do what I have to do the yearning to be near you I do what I have to do but I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go a glowing ember burning hot burning slow deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do and I have sense to recognize but I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go I wanted to add this one and say that almost every song on her surfacing album could apply here, except maybe Building a Mystery.
Ace of Base - Don't Turn Around...one of the best songs ever. Am I the only Ace of Base fan on this BBS? Y'all should be ashamed of urselves! lol
How could I forget: (yes, some of these are wuss songs ) Please Forgive Me - Bryan Adams Kissing a Fool - George Michael Mandolin Rain - Bruce Hornsby One More Minute - Weird Al Yankovic
OK, here I go The problems of yesterday have fallen upon the sinners of today, and there is no solution to the racial slurs of gang fights When we all cry out for the liberty of free speech. don't let the constitution condone the violence which gave us our rights cos' our protests in Washington have got a long way to go, while our kids education fade to the night streets of today And before we can take control of the madness at hand, we must stop the selling of crack to the people who pay Now abusing the system to gain free rent in someones head, is like a criminal who commits a violent rape And even though their resistence is high the time has come, for us to breathe deep before its all too late Some say this is how a business runs the American way, but what happened to the dream that were supposed to discover It's all become a game in which nobody wins a point, were only brothers killing each other for the profit of another This written by A. Christian which is my writters name (AJ22) OK, even though I have over couple hundred of poems it's back to lurking mode
Ace of Base is still around?! I just figured they "saw the sign" and it read One Hit Wonder. I haven't heard anything about them in a long time.
Some of the best sad songs (don't know if the texts are relating to breaking up): Clouds across the moon - The Rah Band Don't answer me - The Alan Parsons Project Yesterday - The Beatles Almaz - Randy Crawford Angie - The Rolling Stones Arthur's Theme ("Between the moon and New York City") - Christopher Cross Your latest trick - Dire Straits Nobody knows - Tony Rich Project Against all odds - Phil Collins Money don't matter tonight - Prince Streets of London - Ralph McTell If you leave me now - Chicago There is more, but that is from the top of my head.
I don't know which is more uncool: plagiarising someone else's work, or admitting you know the lyrics to a Queensryche song.
Queensryche used to be a great band, until Chris DeGarmo (Guitarist/songwriter) left. Back to the thread topic. "She Used to be My Girl"- OJays
