There's a train everyday,  leaving either way.
There's a world, you know.    There's a way to go.

"My Opening Farewell" - Jackson Browne

Oh, and the line that's in my signature. -facepalm- Of course.
From 'October' by Broken Bells.

Neill Finn: Weather With You-

"Julius Caeser, the Roman Empire, couldn't conquer the blue sky....

I just think it's full of bravery and confidence...sorry that's a really bad way of explaining it but I couldn't think of a different way.

I really like this one, it's very romantic:

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me


This one from Mark Knopfler is also one you can't get out of your head anymore once you've heard it, and I like the story behind it:

Southern bound from Glasgow town
She's shining in the sun
My Scotson Lassie on the border run

We're whistling down the hillsides
And tearing up the climbs
I'm just a thiever stealing time
In the Border Reiver

(he's singing about a lorry here ;D)


 

"I guess every form of refuge has it's price"  Lyning Eyes by the Eagles

"Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough."  Never Enough by Melissa Ethridge

"Sometimes I see your face, stars seem to lose their place, why must I think of you."
Why Should I Cry for You by Sting

"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"  by U2

"My father worked in the post office by day and sang opera by night. We lived on the north side of Dublin in a place called Cedarwood Road. He had a lot of attitude. He gave some to me - and a voice. I wish I'd known him better." - Bono, music video 2004

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Well, hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own


 

My favorite song quotes are from a german rapper, actually he's quite a philosopher and a poet.

"Diese Wunden in mir, sie sind nie verheilt, denn tief ist das Fleisch, doch bodenlos die Seele."
(Something like: These wounds in me, they have never healed, for deep is the flesh yet abysmal the soul.)

"Und ich wünschte, ich wäre ein anderer Mensch. Und ich wünschte, die Welt wäre leer und von einsamer gnädiger Stille beherrscht."
(And I wish I was a different person. And I wish the world was empty and dominated by a lone and gracious silence.)

At the moment I'm obsessed with the lyrics to P!nk's "When We're Through".


Especially this little bit of the chorus: "Life is just a little part of what the world will do". It sounds so emo; but to me it's not all that sad; life is a great thing! Being alive is what it is about... and yes sometimes it's tough. 

After watching Third Star and what it has meant to me...

This song, I can't stop listening to it. "Beam Me Up" by P!nk





"Beam me up, let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter I think..."
