Songs That Hit You (Below The Buckle)

[MaxJoker]

Joanna Newsom - 81

I found a little plot of land
In the garden of eden
It was dirt and dirt is all the same

I tilled it with my two hands
I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim

Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell, so I lay me by a spring
For a spell as naked as a trout

The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But I will want for nothing more, in the garden
To start again
In the hardening of every new heart but one

Meet me in the garden of Eden,
Bring a friend, we are going to have a time
We have are going to have a garden party,
It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime

We broke out hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along
To come along, I'm inviting everyone

Farewell, to loves that i have known
Even muddiest as waters run
Tell me what is meant by sitting alone in a garden,
Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?

The unending amends you made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darling, start again
I believe in everyone

I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone.

Thomas Dolby - Valley Of The Minds' Eye

Ma chere Josephine,
(My dearest Josephine,)

Que le monde a change depuis ma derniere lettre.
(How the world has changed since last I wrote.)

Ainsi ce soir je prends ma plume,
(So tonight I take up my pen,)

non pas pour m emerveiller sur l epoque ou nous vivons,
(not to marvel at these wondrous times,)

mais pour declarer l'amour qui est dans mon coeur.
(but to declare the love that is in my heart.)


If a song was a road,
I would ride through the night to you.
There's a moon on the rise,
and I'm drawn on the tide to you.
And I will be with you,
and I will stay with you,
and I will dream with you,
if you need me to.
Anytime, anywhere in a corner of your minds eye.

Planets will cool, Josie,
tyrants will rule, Josie,
I will be here for you.
Oceans divide, Josie,
stars will collide, Josie
nations will rise and fall,
and never see the world through these eyes.

Dreams of falling - dreams of flying,
A man who never dreams goes slowly mad.
The dawn of science, the age of reason,
This is the voyage of the mind s eye.


And I will be with you,
I will stay with you,
And I will dream with you,
If you need me to.
anytime, anywhere in a corner of your mind s eye.
In a corner of your mind s eye.

Black : Wonderful Life


Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Sun's in your eyes the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend, oh
I need a friend To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
I need a friend, oh ,I need friend
To make me happy Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

David Essex - Oh what a circus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YInWq7qt4PA
A school trip in the late 70s to Porthcawl.
Every time I hear this I'm in the back seat of the coach with my mates just being a teenager and....?
Just being alive and vital
Music's a wonderful thing but it's also double-edged.
In a split second you can contrast the you which exists now with the wide-eyed kid who was going to kick society in the b*llocks and do just whatever he wanted.

[Eric Cartman]

This may sound odd but Silent Night touches my heart and brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. One of the most enduring memories of childhood for me is Christmas Eve and services at church.

My sister and I would suffer through Christmas Eve day, presents under the tree we couldn't open just yet, the smell of ham baking in the oven, mom pressing off our "good" clothes for church that night.

Finally, we put on our best clothes and sat down to dinner that evening. Candles, all the finest dishes we had and a meal that to many was modest at most but to a 10 year old boy seemed as if we were dining at The Ritz Carlton. My father in his best suit and tie....mom in her prettiest dress and pearls.

After dinner we bundled up and left for church. Each of us was given a candle at the door as we entered, instructed to keep it safe until after the sermon. Then all the lights were turned off as ushers walked down the aisles lighting the candle of each person at the end of the pew who would, in turn, light the candle of the person next to them.

In no time at all, the church was aglow, bathed in candlelight and we sang Christmas carols. I remember taking in the sight of hundreds of candles burning, light glancing off of the tall stained glass windows and thinking how wonderful the sound, how beautiful the scene. The last carol was always Silent Night.

Afterwards my sister and I would try to see how far we could go outside the church keeping our candles lit, down High Street, before the crisp winter wind would extinguish the flame. On the way home dad would drive through the nicer neighborhoods so we could look at their decorations. Hundreds of blinking lights, manger scenes and Santa's sleigh and reindeer.

Eventually we got home, changed into our pajamas and left milk and cookies out for Santa. Then mom and dad would scoot us off to bed because, as we all know, Santa won't come if you're awake. I think I fell asleep the second my head touched the pillow.

That all seems as if it were just yesterday but it was over 40 years ago. My dad has been dead 25 years now and my mom is 71.

Every Christmas Eve I take my mom to church. Each time we light candles and sing Christmas carols. Each time Silent Night is the last carol sung. And each time my eyes well up with tears as I remember sweet and innocent memories of times past. What I wouldn't give to have just one more Christmas Eve as that wide eyed 10 year old boy sitting by my father in church.

The Carol service at Christmas starting with Once in Royal David's City and ending with Adeste Fideles.

With you all the way there Eric.

Maria McKee - Why Wasn't I More Grateful

I had angels, a gang of angels,
By my side ,
Livin' lucky, golden girl with an easy ride,
Little worry, loads of time, yeah,
Wasn't it enough, wasn't it, wasn't it enough ?
Tell me why wasn't I more grateful ?
Why wasn't I more grateful ?
Why wasn't I, why wasn't I more grateful,
When life was sweet, when life was sweet ?
Some people want and want and want what they don't have,
Until it keeps 'em awake at night in their bed just twitchin',
Some people like to complain about every little thing,
Some folks just never stop bitchin',
I had a good man,
I took him for granted,
And now I surely, surely, surely, surely miss him,
Wasn't it enough? wasn't it, wasn't it enough?
Tell me why wasn't I more grateful ?
Why wasn't I more grateful ?
Why wasn't I, why wasn't I more grateful ?
When life was sweet, when life was sweet ?
Why wasn't I, why wasn't I ?
And it keeps me wonderin' what might've been ,
Keeps me wonderin' what might've been, yeah ,
To the Lord more grateful.

I stumbled across this album in a bargain bin at a record store and thought the album cover was interesting, so I bought it. Exiting the store, I tramped through the snow on a cold Utah winter's day and climbed into my truck. While waiting for my windshield to defrost, I popped the CD in with little excitement or expectation. The first track, "In The Sun", played and I just sat staring out the window with tears rolling down my cheeks. Years of repressed emotions, anger and loss came flooding through me. I just let it all out. Wiping my eyes and laughing at how ridiculous I must have looked, I put the truck in gear and drove slowly off with a little smile on my face and a huge load off of my shoulders.

This song humbles me somehow and I still listen to it when I need to just let go of stuff. Anyway, here it is...

Joseph Arthur ~ In The Sun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zGavNdWWKU

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May god's love be with you
Always
May god's love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You cant keep awake

May god's love be with you
Always
May god's love be with you

cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You

I don't know anymore
What its for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what its for
Any more than me

May god's love be with you
Always
May god's love be with you

[rockernut]

This one knocks me out everytime I hear it, not exactly happy stuff ,but in some strange way it gives me some kind of relief...

"The End Of The Rainbow"



I feel for you, you little horror
Safe at your mother's breast
No lucky break for you around the corner
'Cos your father is a bully
And he thinks that you're a pest
And your sister, she's no better than a whore

Life seems so rosy in the cradle
but I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
And throw you on the side
And all because they love themselves sincerely
And the man holds a bread-knife
Up to your throat, is four feet wide
And he's anxious just to show you what it's for

Your mother works so hard to make you happy
But take a look outside the nursery door
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

All the sad and empty faces
That pass you on the street
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
Every loving handshake
Is just another man to beat
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core

Life seems so rosy in the cradle
but I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore
