What song..


Steven

Recommended Posts

What song just cuts right down to the core and touches you in a way no other song can. Since the first time I heard it (I was going through a really bad time) "The Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley just tears me to pieces.

I always listen to it when- and only when- I have some stuff going on that I don't want to deal with and it helps me get my act together. I've been listening to it for about the last 2 hours straight. :(

Steven, You have no idea how ironic your post is.

Sometimes we all have those things that we would rather not have to deal with. We tend to hide those things from the support availible to us for no good reason.

What I can tell you is what has worked well for me these last few days. It is to depend on those you are close to...even if they live acrossed the country.

Oh Yeah...I put the "Black" album by Metallica in and hit the repeat button.

Yep, you know you have friends that will always accept you here Steven. Hang in there chief.

To answer your question.........hmmmm, lots of them. Depends on my mood. Listening to Springsteen sure takes me back. So does Buffet. Back when I was dealing with the worst of my cancers it was Christmas Lullaby (I Will Lead You Home) by Amy Grant. I know you're not a religious man, but that song just does it to me. I want it played at my funeral. I'd have to say that one breaks me up more than any song I've ever heard.

Lyrics version:

Anothe decent version, not as good as Amy Grant though.

Two songs that will forever have great meaning to me are MercyMe "I can only imagine" and Linkin Park's "Leave out all the rest"

I Can Only Imagine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FS5GYvg6uU

I can only imagine what it will be like

When I walk by Your side

I can only imagine what my eyes will see

When Your face is before me

I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory

What will my heart feel

Will I dance for your Jesus

Or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in Your presence

Or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah

Will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes

And I find myself standing in the Son

I can only imagine when all I will do

Is forever, forever worship You

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Chorus (repeat)

I can only imagine

When all I will do

Is forever, forever worship You

Leave Out All The Rest

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ66BY5iYsw

I dreamed I was missing

You were so scared

But no one would listen

Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming

I woke with this fear

What am I leaving

When I'm done here

So if you're asking me

I want you to know

[Chorus]

When my time comes

Forget the wrong that I've done

Help me leave behind some

Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty

Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest

[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid

I've taken my beating

I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface

Not all the way through

I've never been perfect

But neither have you

So if you're asking me

I want you to know

[Chorus]

When my time comes

Forget the wrong that ive done

Help me leave behind some

Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty

Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest

[End Chorus]

Forgetting

All the hurt inside

You've learned to hide so well

Pretending

Someone else can come and save me from myself

I can't be who you are

[Chorus]

When my time comes

Forget the wrong that ive done

Help me leave behind some

Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty

Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest

Forgetting

All the hurt inside

You've learned to hide so well

Pretending

Someone else can come and save me from myself

I can't be who you are

I can't be who you are

I have 2 songs

"Comfortably Numb" Pink Floyd

Hello.

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.

I hear youre feeling down.

Well I can ease your pain,

Get you on your feet again.

Relax.

I need some information first.

Just the basic facts:

Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.

A distant ships smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.

When I was a child I had a fever.

My hands felt just like two balloons.

Now I got that feeling once again.

I cant explain, you would not understand.

This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.

Just a little pinprick. [ping]

Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!

But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?

I do believe its working. good.

Thatll keep you going for the show.

Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.

A distant ships smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,

Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone.

I cannot put my finger on it now.

The child is grown, the dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb

Since Mellencamp came out with his last album I felt like this song was meant for me now

Longest Day

Seems like

Once upon a time ago

I was where

I was supposed to be

My vision was true

And my heart was too

There was no end

To what I could dream

I walked like a hero

Into the setting sun

Everyone called out my name

Death to me was just a mystery

I was too busy raising up Cain

But nothing lasts forever

Your best efforts

Don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick

And don't get better

That's when life is short

Even in it's longest days

So you pretend not to notice

That everything has changed

The way that you look

And the friends you once had

So you keep on acting the same

But deep down in your soul

You know you, you got no flame

And who knows

Then which way to go

Life is short even

In it's longest days

All I got here

Is a rear view mirror

Reflections of where I've been

So you tell yourself

I'll be back up on top some day

But you know there's nothing

Waiting up there for you anyway

Nothing lasts forever

And your best efforts

Don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick

And you don't get better

That's when life is short

Even in it's longest days

Life is short

Even in it's longest days

Depends on the mood really Steven and on what is bugging me. "The Dance" or "If tomorrow never comes" by Garth Brooks are a couple that quickly come to mind. "Angels among us" from Alabama is one that surely pulls at the heart too.

Like said by someone else, can always talk to someone here. Keep your chin up bud.

Oh man there is a few................

It won't be like this for long by Darius Rucker is one that really gets me lately cause my kids are growing up so fast.

Lightning by Eric Church..............again because it's about a desparate father trying to provide for his kids the only way he can figure out. It makes me thank God everytime I hear it that I haven't ever been that desperate and blessed to have always been able to provide for my family.
