How Soon is Now - Smiths

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die

[/ QUOTE ]

Ugh, no kidding. This song just makes me wither inside. It doesn't help it is in the movie "Closer", and that is NOT a happy go lucky film.

I'm glad someone did this thread.

Other choices:
All is Full of Love, Bjork
Hurt, Johnny Cash
I Know You Are But What Am I?, Mogwai
Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd
Mad World, Gary Jules
Any Jeff Buckley song
Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode
Five Days in May, Blue Rodeo
and I shall quote Blue Parade by Sarah Slean:

I hear them coming
the blue parade
they're throwing snowflakes
and singing my name
in deep blue voices
I hear them say
There's good love out there
just you wait

"The River" by Springsteen.

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
or is it something worse...

Try these two by Sinatra...they have no peers.

<font color="blue">How Insensitive </font>

How Insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over

Now she's gone away
And I'm alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did I just stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one do when a love affair is over

<font color="blue">If You Go Away </font>

If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away;
All the birds that flew in the summer sky,
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
When the day was young and the night was long,
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again;
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.
Then if you go, I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop
turning
Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love
without loving you,
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till
the next hello,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again.
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.
But if you go, go, I won't cry,
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
Like the empty look I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
