    Default Songs that affect you.

    Music means more than just words;some song's have got that mmmm that gets you thinking.This is mine.
    Tell Me There's A Heaven
    Chris Rea

    The little girl she said to me
    What are these things that I can see
    Each night when I come home from school
    When mama calls me in for tea
    On every night a baby dies
    And every night a mama cries
    What makes those men do what they do
    To make the person black and blue

    Grandpa say's they're happy now
    They sit with god in paradise
    With angels wings and still somehow
    It makes me feel
    Like ice

    Tell me there's a heaven
    Tell that it's true
    Tell me there's a reason
    Why I'm seeing what I do
    Tell me there's a heaven
    Where all those people go
    Tell me that there happy now
    Papa tell me that it's so.

    So do I tell her that it's true
    That there's a place for me and you
    Where hungry children smile and say
    We wouldn't have no other way
    That every painfull crack of bone
    Is a step along the way
    That every wrong done is a game plan
    To the great and joyfull day
    And I'm looking and the father and the son
    And I'm looking at the mother and the daughter
    And I'm watching them in tears and pain
    And I'm watching them suffer
    Dont tell that little girl
    Tell me

    Tell me there's a heaven...

    What's yours?

    Biffy Clyro are a big influence on life to me. There music lyrics mean a hell of a lot to me. Reason why i have there logo tattoo'd on my arm.

    Quite recently found a band Called Faulter ( http://myspace.com/faulter )
    there lyrics are pritty awesome, favourite one's would have to be October 16th though.

    all at once it seemed so easy
    the way to make this right
    just to let myself feel these things
    and say what's on my mind
    so i let my guard down
    and it seems not for the best
    i guess i do the right things
    at all the wrong times
    and stand to pay the price

    cause i waited much too long
    or just said something wrong
    and i miss you

    but you're not giving in
    i missed it
    and better luck is on my wish list
    maybe that's why i'm alive
    i'm not giving up on this yet
    another time it might be different
    if anything that's why i'm alive

    if i'd just said something sooner
    then maybe this could start
    but at the time i couldn't see this coming
    or how it'd fall apart
    you can slow it down
    and you can buy more time
    but it comes around
    and then you change your mind too late

    there's nothing left to say about it now

    Having known Simon Neil for several years, it's a bit weird to hear people say he's such a big influence on their life. A bit like saying I live my life according to the teachings and insightful posts by Jeid. I played on the same bill as Biffy Clyro once back in the early days - never thought they'd amount to much. Who's laughing now? You may well ask...

    I've listened to them for years now and they are a great band, the best thing probably being their vocal harmonies.
    Obviously their musicianship is fantastic, just they are so good at 3-way harmonies.
    Each to their own though.

    Got to be The Macc Lads for me.

    "Beer & Sex & Chips & Gravy" brings a tear to my glass eye, and the subtle nuances of "Fluffy Pup" makes me weep uncontrollably. Tears! Real tears! Tears of Truth!

    LOL.

    Mine is Celine Dion Immortality
    it took me through a tough time

    so this is who i am
    and this is all i know
    and i must choose to live
    for all that i can give
    the spark that makes the power grow

    and i will stand for my dream if i can
    symbol of my faith in who i am
    but you are my only
    and i must follow on the road that lies ahead
    and i won't let my heart control my head
    but you are my only
    and we don't say good bye
    and i know what i've got to be

    immortality
    i make my journey through eternity
    i keep the memory of you and me inside

    fufill your destiny
    is there within the child
    my storm will never end
    my fate is on the wind
    the king of hearts, the joker's wild
    but we don't say goodbye
    i'll make them all remember me

    cause i have found a dream that must come true
    every ounce of me must see it through
    but you are my only
    i'm sorry i don't have a role for love to play
    hand over my heart i'll find a way
    i will make them give it to me

    immortality
    there is a vision and a fire in me
    i keep the memory of you and me inside
    and we don't say goodbye
    with all my love for you
    and what else we may do
    we don't say goodbye

    Another beautiful song that I love is "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. It's sad, but inspirational at the same time. Here's la belle chanteuse herself, along with scenes from "Titanic", one of my fave movies of all time....

    I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!

    Funnily enough, hearing "My Heart Will Go On" makes me want to go out and punch someone too...

    Default Song that speaks to me

    Numb by Linkin Park speaks to me not to go into too much detail but my dad seems to be over critical and wanted me to be a farmer and ever since i turned by back on this he has been less supportive.

    "I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
    Don't know what you're expecting of me
    Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you

    Can't you see that you're smothering me
    Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
    Cause everything that you thought I would be
    Has fallen apart right in front of you

    And I know
    I may end up failing too
    But I know
    You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

    I've become so numb I can't feel you there
    Become so tired so much more aware
    I'm becoming this all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you

    I'm tired of being what you want me to be"

    Now im working full time in a job he doesnt want me to have, I resort to this song. At least i know im not alone.
