Re: One song to describe your life to this point
You Never Know - DMB
Sitting still as stone watching - watching People walking by you wondering why No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it – if they ever did What if God shuffled by? One day we might see Doing not a thing Breathing just to breathe We might find some reason But rushing around seems what’s wrong with the world Don’t lose the dreams inside your head They’ll only be there til you’re dead Dream Lying on the roof counting The stars that fill the sky I wonder if Someone in the heavens looking back down on me – I’ll never know So much space to believe Funny when you’re small The moon follows the car There’s no one but you see Hey, the moon is chasing me I worried if I looked away she’d be gone Don’t lose the dreams inside your head They’ll only be there til you’re dead Dream Walking through the wood No cares in the world The world has come to play She’s all mine just for a day There’s not a moment to lose in the game Don’t let the troubles in your head Steal too much time you’ll soon be dead So play All fall down It won’t be so long now Out of the darkness comes light like a flash You think you can you think you can Sometimes that is the problem Dream little darling dream Spinning on the wind The leaf fell from the limb But everyday should be a good day to die Oh all fall down It won’t be too long now Every fire dies I find it hard to explain how I got here I think I can I think I can Then again I will falter Dream little darling dream Spinning on the wind The leaf fell from the limb |

Re: One song to describe your life to this point
Until about eight years ago, it was:
Wanted Man - Johnny Cash Wanted man in California, Wanted man in Buffalo Wanted man in Kansas City, Wanted man in Ohio Wanted man in Mississippi, Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man I might be in Colorado, Or Georgia by the sea Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be If you ever see me coming and if you know who I am Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know I'm on the lamb Wanted man by Lucy Watson, Wanted man by Jeannie Brown Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, Wanted man in this next town I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I've had And a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad I got sidetracked in El Paso, Stopped to get myself a map Went the wrong way in Pleura with Juanita on my back Went to sleep in Shreveport, Woke up in Abilene Wonderin' why I'm wanted at some town half way in between Wanted man in Albuquerque, Wanted man in Syracuse Wanted man in Tallahassee, Wanted man in Baton Rouge There's somebody set to grab me Anywhere that I might be And wherever you might look tonight You might get a glimpse of me Wanted man in California, Wanted man in Buffalo Wanted man in Kansas City, Wanted man in Ohio Wanted man in Mississippi, Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man Then for about 4 years, it was Goldfinger - Superman So here I am doing everything I can holding on to what I am pretending I'm a superman I'm trying to keep the ground on my feet it seems the world's falling down around me the nights are all long I'm singing this song to try and make the answers more than maybe and I'm so confused about what to do sometimes I want to throw it all away so here I am looking older all the time growing older all the time feeling younger in my mind I'm trying to sleep I lost count of the sheep my mind is racing faster every minute what could I do more yeah I'm really not sure I know I'm running circles but I can't quit and I'm so confused about what to do sometimes I want to throw it all away controlling everything in site I'm feeling weak I don't feel right you're telling me I have to change telling me to act my age but if all that I can do is just sit and watch time go then I'll have to say good bye life's too short to watch it fly watch it fly Now: Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Cheek To Cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Now mama dance with me I want my arm(s) about you That (Those) charm(s) about you Will carry me through... (Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, out together dancing(swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek |

Re: One song to describe your life to this point
Imagine my shock that the OP referenced a Blind Melon song, since mine is "Change". Also, this is an OOT thread.
Blind Melon - Change I dont feel the suns comin out today Its staying in, its gonna find another way. As I sit here in this misery, I dont Think Ill ever see the sun from here. And oh as I fade away, Theyll all look at me and say, and theyll say, Hey look at him! Ill never live that way. But thats okay Theyre just afraid to change. When you feel your life aint worth living Youve got to stand up and Take a look around you then a look way up to the sky. And when your deepest thoughts are broken, Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin its time to die. And as we all play parts of tomorrow, Some ways will work and other ways well play. But I know we all cant stay here forever, So I want to write my words on the face of today. And then theyll paint it And oh as I fade away, Theyll all look at me and theyll say, Hey look at him and where he is these days. When life is hard, you have to change. |

Re: One song to describe your life to this point
Like a Rock
Words and music by bob seger Stood there boldly Sweatin in the sun Felt like a million Felt like number one The height of summer Id never felt that strong Like a rock I was eighteen Didnt have a care Working for peanuts Not a dime to spare But I was lean and Solid everywhere Like a rock My hands were steady My eyes were clear and bright My walk had purpose My steps were quick and light And I held firmly To what I felt was right Like a rock Like a rock, I was strong as I could be Like a rock, nothin ever got to me Like a rock, I was something to see Like a rock And I stood arrow straight Unencumbered by the weight Of all these hustlers and their schemes I stood proud, I stood tall High above it all I still believed in my dreams Twenty years now Whered they go? Twenty years I dont know Sit and I wonder sometimes Where theyve gone And sometimes late at night When Im bathed in the firelight The moon comes callin a ghostly white And I recall Recall Like a rock. standin arrow straight Like a rock, chargin from the gate Like a rock, carryin the weight Like a rock Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin Like a rock, hard against the wind Like a rock, I see myself again Like a rock |

Re: One song to describe your life to this point
sunshine - jonathan edwards
Sunshine go away today I don't feel much like dancing Some man's gone, he's tried to run my life Don't know what he's asking He tells me I'd better get in line Can't hear what he's saying When I grow up I'm going to make it mine But these aren't dues I been paying How much does it cost, I'll buy it The time is all we've lost, I'll try it But he can't even run his own life I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine Sunshine go away today I don't feel much like dancing Some man's gone he's tried to run my life Don't know what he's asking Working starts to make me wonder where The fruits of what I do are going He says in love and war all is fair But he's got cards he ain't showing How much does it cost, I'll buy it The time is all we've lost, I'll try it But he can't even run his own life I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine Sunshine come on back another day I promise you I'll be singing This old world, she's gonna turn around Brand new bells'll be ringing |
