Song lyrics that make you shiver

[Ser William]

[ QUOTE ]
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

[ QUOTE ]

Floating down
Through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And in the corner of some foreign field

I had a dream
I had a dream

Goodbye Max
Goodbye Ma
After the service
When you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail old hand
And hold on to the dream

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more
No one ever disappears
You'll never hear their standard issue
Kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off this final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed

The National Anthem

Is there any American here who doesn't shiver when they hear it sung halfway decently?

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank you...I was just going dowm the list to see if this was here.
Although when it is sung poorly/or lyrics botched...you tend to shudder.

How about Lighting Crashes by Live


lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide

Here are some peoples interpretations of what the lyrics mean.

[seke2]

The hard rock god he never had a chance you know.
Incurable romantics never do.
He held a flame I wasn't born to carry.
I'll leave the dying young stuff up to you.

You get back on the latest flight to paradise.
I found out from a note taped to the door.
I think I saw your airplane in the sky tonight.
Through my window, lying on the kitchen floor.

Allright, I can say what you want me to (I want more).
Allright, I can do all the things you do (Give me more).
Allright, I'll make it all up for you.
I'm still in love with you (I'm still in love with you).
I'm still in love with you (I want more).

Allright, I'll say what you want me to. (Give me more).
Allright, I'll do all the things you do (I want more from you).
Allright, I'll make it all up for you.
I'm still in love with you (I'm still in love with you).
I'm still in love with you (I'm still in love with you).

...

I'm still in love with you.

"Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?"-Pink Floyd

"Unexpecting brother,
Doesnt know what to do,
When everything just falls to the ground, ohh,
He runs to find some cover,
He doesnt have a clue,
That his friend will never be found,
When hes informed, that he,
Will never see the boy,
Will never see the boy,
Youll never see him open his eyes,
Well never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
Youll only hear his heavenly cries,
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh" - Silverchair

The entire song Ave Maria when sung by a halfway decent female singer.

[Borodog]

And you run and you run
to catch up with sun
but it's sinking,
racing around,
to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way
but you're older;
shorter of breath,
and one day
closer to death.

I have a brother 10 years younger than me, and I can't make it through this song without crying. Excellent choice.

Also:

Awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off, I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

And from the Indigo Girls:

The Mississippi's mighty
It starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown
And there's not enough room in this world for my pain
Signals crossed, and love gets lost, and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost

[ QUOTE ]

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Tool - 10,000 Days

Listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun.
How we rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior,
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations;
None of us have actually been there.
Not like you.

Ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me.
None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choices, hypocrites won't see.

But, enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
Your little piece of the divine.

And this little light of mine, the gift you passed on to me;
I will let it shine to guide you safely on your way,
Your way home ...

Oh, what are they going to do when the lights go down
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they going to do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?

High as a wave, but I'll rise on up off the ground.
You were the light and the way, they'll only read about.
I only pray, Heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough, you're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying:
"I have come home now!
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my, give me my wings!"

Give me my wings!

You are the light and way, that they will only read about.

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance,
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion:
Should you see your Maker's face tonight,
Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him:
"I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one.
Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home."
