Ill start.... I can't say this one is favorite, but it makes the deepest conection to me
Please also Name the song.

By the way, please keep naming more songs if you also like them, I love music so i just like to see what everyone likes

Mariah Carey Ft Ne Yo - Angles Cry
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry

As I Am ~ Dream Theater
"To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am"

The Smiths / Ask

Shyness is nice and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

hello , evanescence
suddenly i know i'm not sleeping
hello
i'm still here , all that left of yesterday

Ugh, it changes every week, but right at this moment...

The snippet is;

"And for every question
an answer is found.
Thousands of voices are
screaming new questions out loud.
But I make a stand.
I'm not gonna drown."

It's a song called "I stand alone" by Van Canto, an Acappella metal band.





Every time I hear that part of the song,.. it moves me.

Changes all the time.

Ringside - Struggle
I just want to move ahead
I just want to free myself - but it's a struggle
I just want to stay in bed
I just want to be myself - but it's a struggle

Annie Lennox - No More I Love You's
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the word

Oh wow, so many, but I'll post a few:

"If I inflict the pain then baby only I can comfort you" - Afghan Whigs

"And I want to know/the difference between/what sparkles/and what is gold" - Mineral

"One day I'll grow up and be a beautiful woman, one day I'll grow up and be a beautiful girl, but for today I am a child, for today I am a boy, for today i am a child. for today i am a boy." - Antony & The Johnsons

and a bunch of others but this will do it for now

I Am Woman - Helen Reddy

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again


This One's For The Girls - Martina McBride

This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the Fountain of Youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls

30 Seconds to Mars: "The Kill (Bury Me)"

I tried to be someone else
but thing seems to change
I know now this is who I really am inside
finally found myself
fighting for a chance
I know now this is who I really am!

I could fill pages just with Bob and Robert Hunter, but this one has worked for me for over 40 years now.


Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words, proves to warn
That he not busy being born is busy dying
...
And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only



Bob Dylan, It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

another one i just remembered
30 minutes ,TATU
can we fly , do i stay
we could lose , we could fail
either way , options change ,chances fail , trains derail

Turn lyrics -Travis

I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I want to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive

And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloon
We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door

I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Learn to turn

I always really like the verse from Breathe on DSotM because it serves as a reminder (or should) about what we allow into our lives.

Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Do you know where you're going to?
(I just spaced this line)
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you
there is no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?


It is the theme song from Mohagony I believe.

I agree with Tekla about DSOM.

But I think one that still haunts me is in Paul Simon's 'I am a Rock'.

"On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow"

As poetic imagery I regard it as remarkable.

Cindy

I am a rock is good but I prefered the Boxer.

"but the fighter still remains"


and I am still here

Paul Simon wrote some achingly beautyful lyrics.  Check out For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her.

What a dream I had
dressed in organdy
clothed in crinoline
of smoky burgundy
softer than the rain

I wandered empty streets down
past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
dripping down the alley ways
as I walked on

But the way too true line from The Boxer for me has always been:
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

I've always liked the following line from the song "Watch the Children Pray" by Metal Church.

With open arms meet catastrophe

I never thought of this as meeting catastrophe with a "bring it!" or nihilistic/suicidal way, but more like from the point of view of the "sitting mind" that one cultivates through zazen.

"On The Turning Away"

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"


and:
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
If tiny little bluebirds fly above the rainbow
Why oh why can't I

this song is in my native tongue so mostly no one knows it but it goes like this:

what would you do if you woke up someday ...looked in the mirror and cried
inside you a question that screams and says who am i?
am i the same as everyone or split in two
and now what?
tell me you  in the mirror... explain what's happening
am i happy? ,tired ? , sad?
a lot of things in our life confuses us , and here we are , living
and life goes on



the song continues and it's awesome but i think that's my favorite part of it
