Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding :rose:

A kind of magic - The Queen :rose:

apres la pluie - Les Negresses Vertes :rose:

For now [and for a while in fact] this song seems to define me.

Center Of The Sun
(Lyrics & Music: Poe and Conjure One - 2002)


Young girl in the market
Music to the men
When the men leave
Her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again
she sees the dark market of above (violins)

And she sings
?They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins, when I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done?

Young boy in the market
Follows all the men
When the men leave
He's out of his head
When his eyes are closed again
he sees the dark market of above (violins)

And he sings
?They break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins, when I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes
And I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done?

(Center of the sun)

Young boy in the market
Sees the girl alone
And asks her
?Have you lost your way home??
She sings
?You say the most beautiful things, just like my violins?

I look into your eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done

When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done

'Cause
I hear violins
I hear violins

I hear violins
I hear violins

(Center of the sun)

I hear ...violins
 
Depends on my mood, but one that never fails to uplift me is
Paradise by the Dashboard Lights by Meat Loaf

The lyrics defined me once, it was a brief moment and a long time ago.

Particular songs define particular points in my life.

There is a song by Rod Stewart called 'Every beat of my Heart' the lyrics talk about going home to Scotland at the end of a life. It always makes me melancholy

'Danny Boy' has the same effect

Both are good for my funeral :)

"Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" - Offspring

Untem, gliben, glaussen, glauben

Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinquo, senco, ses

You know, it's kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool, but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you, no way, for you, no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least, you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
So hey hey, do that brand new thing

Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you, no way, for you, no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least, you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world likes wannabes
So hey hey, do that brand new thing

Now, he's getting a tattoo, yeah, he's gettin' ink done
He asked for a 13, but they drew a 31
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind, he's the, he's the dopest trip

Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me, baby, uh huh, uh huh
Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinquo, senco, ses

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you, no way, for you, no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least, you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
The world loves wannabes
Let's get some more wannabes
And hey hey, do that brand new thing

Moon by Fracture 4

Talk about music for alien masochists.
 
Good question. I'd have to say half "In The Mood" by Robert Plant and half "Piece Of My Heart" by Janis Joplin.

Okay, when I first saw this thread, I must admit the smartass in me perked right up. And here's the song that immediately sprang to mind - it's country, so I'm sure not too many of you have heard it. I'll be back with a more serious entry for this thread shortly. :rolleyes:

Billy Currington
Off My Rocker


Well we know it ain't the first time
We know it used to be my past time
And a couple times back we agreed
That was gonna be my last time
But I guess last night I plum forgot
Who's runnin' this show and who's not

Oh I must've been off of my rocker
I must've got some wires crossed
To come in hear claimin' from here on out
I'm gonna be the boss
Oh it must've been me the big talker
I had a little too much of Johnny Walker
So let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker

No there ain't no need to stay mad
No need to waste a whole day mad
Though I have to admit honey
You look pretty darn cute mad
Oh baby workin' this out can't be that hard
Hahaha, I said I'm gonna be in charge

Oh I must've been off of my rocker
I must've got some wires crossed
To come in hear claimin' from here on out
I'm gonna be the boss
Oh it must've been me the big talker
I had a little too much of Johnny Walker
So let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker

Oh burn it down now

Yeah I guess last night I plum forgot
Who's runnin' this show and who's not

Oh I must've been off of my rocker
I must've got some wires crossed
To come in hear claimin' from here on out
I'm gonna be the boss
Oh it must've been me the big talker
I had a little too much of Johnny Walker
So let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker
Yeah let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker
Oh I'm sorry about that baby

OMG I LOVE that song. It sure manages to uplift me, since I laugh my ass off whenever I hear it.

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!'

ROFLMAO

How about Seether's "Broken" with Amy Lee. Its a song of sadness and longing.

I want you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it service me well
I wanna hold you high and steal you pain

Because I'm broken when I'm open and I don't feel like
I am strong enough
Because I am broken when I'm lonesome and I don't feel right
when your gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn and on one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and stea your pain

Because I'm broken when I'm open and I don't feel like
I am strong enough
Because I am broken when I'm lonesome and I don't feel right
when your gone away

You've gone away
you don't feel me anymore


Ohh Leeroy I don't know that song directly but the lyrics are charming ......smiles :rose:
 
For me the song that defines me is Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers. It's a bit of a slow deep ballad about the part of Edinburgh I lived for a few years, and the unofficial anthem of Hibernian FC. The song defines, because my life in Edinburgh had such a profound impact on me. It was where I met some of the greatest friends in the world and had the time of my life, doing all the things I never had a chance to do in Canada. Scotland is also the birthplace of my ancestors, so for me, it was like coming back to my true home in a lot of ways. Good times, and I hope to go back soon.

Sunshine on Leith

My heart was broken, my heart was broken
Sorrow sorrow sorrow sorrow
My heart was broken, my heart was broken

You saw it, you claimed it
You touched it, you saved it

My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou
My tears are drying, my tears are drying

Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While Im worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the chief, puts sunshine on leith
I'll thank him for his work
And your birth and my birth.

My song...Can't Take That Away~Mariah Carey

They can say,
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's,
There's a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
From me

No no nooo

Oh they,
They can do
Anything they want to you,
If you let them in,
But they won't ever win,
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I,
I have learned,
There's an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade

'Cause there's,
There's light in me me,
That shines brightly, yes
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me

No oh oh,
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go

Woah, woah
They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won't face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Although they do try,
How to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to fall,
Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams,
'Cause there's a light in me,
That shines brightly yes

They can try but they can't take that away from
Me
From me

(It's been my song since the first time I heard it..and even now, Domme or not, it still fits the me inside)
 
okay ummmn... these do not define me but close enough for now

Hunters And Collectors
Throw Your Arms Around Me Lyrics
(I prefer the plain acoustic version)

I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
I'll go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you dissapear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me

Meredith Brooks
Bitch
(Me in survival mode feeling defiant its the 'energy' )

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath
innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one

Chorus:
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
and I'm going to extremes
tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing

Chorus

Just when you think you've got me figured out
the season's already changing
I think it's cool you do what you do
and don't try to save me

Chorus

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
when you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numbed, I'm revived
can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Leonard Cohen
Dance Me To The End Of Love
( f**k knows why I can hear this in my mind just after posting in this Thread )

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

I've always loved this song, even when I didn't know what BDSM was all about - and now I wonder if it's karma because Master Gil is a HUGE Divinyls fan :eek:

Pleasure and Pain - Divinyls

Lover lover why do you push
Why do you push, why do you push
Baby baby, did you forget about me

I've been standing at the back of your life
Back row centre just above the ice
Please don't ask me how i've been getting off
No please don't ask me how i've been getting off

Break my body, with the back of your hand
Doesn't make sense from where i stand
Baby, baby why you wanna mess it up
Sooner or later i'll find my place
Find my body better fix my face
Please don't ask me
How i've been getting off
No please don't ask me
How i've been getting off

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain
You've done it once you can do it again
Whatever you done don't try to explain
It's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain

It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
 
since everyone is posting lyrics here goes mine:

My Way

Well listen pretty baby, let's go out tonight
Tell your mama not to worry, everything's gonna be alright
Don't let me hear you talkin', just be there when I call
'Cause what I do I do my way or it won't be done at all
Oh little girl, better hear what I say
Yeah, I'm a easy goin' guy, but I always gotta have my way

I was born a tiger, I always had my way
Nobody's gonna change me, this or any other day
Don't let me hear you argue, when I say frog you jump
'Cause a woman ain't been born yet
That can play me for a chump
Oh little girl, better hear what I say
Yeah, I'm a easy goin' guy, but I always gotta have my way

Well don't ask me for my reasons, don't ever wonder why
When I walk away and leave you, I don't wanna see you cry
Now, I done a lot of planning, got a lot of things to do
So don't give me no trouble or you and I are through
Oh little girl, better hear what I say
Yeah, I'm a easy goin' guy, but I always gotta have my way
Oh I'm a easy goin' guy, but I always gotta have my way

What about concrete angel Gracie??

I like the song, but I don't feel that it defines me. Yes that child in the song is abuses, but in her case her parents are dicks. In my case my mother was just fucked up and doing her best. She raised me like she was raised, she didn't know any other way.
 
The song that takes me to my "happy place" right now is "Wake Up" by Coheed and Cambria. They are my current musical obsession.

"Wake Up"

I'm going to ride this plane out of your life again.
I wish that I could stay but you argue.
More than this I wish you could've seen my face
In backseat staring out the window.

I'll do anything for you,
Kill anyone for you.

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back.
In a phrase to cut these lips,
I love you.

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up.

I've earned through hope and faith
The curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever.
If morning never comes for either one of us,
Then this I pray to you wherever.

I'll do anything for you.
This story is for you.
('Cause I'd do anything you want me to... for you.)
I'll do anything for you,
Kill anyone for you.

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back.
In a phrase to cut these lips,
I loved you.

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up.

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up.
