Song questions are always so hard for me. My answers to "favorite love songs" and "saddest songs" are sooo long.

But for this, I'll say..."You'll Never Walk Alone" by Rodgers & Hammerstein, from Carousel.

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Gamma Ray-Heaven Can Wait
Too many people, too much trouble, too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble, another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over.
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.

Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.

Each day a new reason to give up, each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up, a hundred thousand ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over.
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older.

Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Heaven can wait, let it wait, let it wait, let it wait.
Our eyes are close but they should be open wide
Let's listen to the voice that's calling from inside.
Let's stay alive and move on, on our way
Heaven - can wait
'Til another day.

FIX'D because the last one is meaningless now

Coldplay - Clocks

Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have bought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Come out, the things I've said
Shouldn't I pull off my head?
And a trouble that can't be named
Tigers waiting to be tamed, singing

You are
You are

Confusion that never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna
Come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know, singing
Come out and pull my seas
Cursed missed opportunities, am I
A part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are
You are
You are
You are

You are
You are

And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are
You are
Home
Home, where I wanted to go
Home
Home, where I wanted to go
Home (You are)
Home, where I wanted to go
Home (You are)
Home, where I wanted to go

Title: May It Be
Artist: Enya
Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home

Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now

Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce; I'm not sure why but this song has a tune that is very inspiring to me, because I'm pretty sure that it's not the lyrics that inspire me:

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting high, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the **** that is wasted on the shores

On the blackest waves in history
We watch them as they go
Through fire, pain and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the lights are so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They raise their hands to the heavens above
As we send them to their lies
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from the time in the fallen land
To a light beyond the stars

In the blackest dreams we do believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time is gone

Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the lights are so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We've fought so hard now can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the lights are so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

"Leave Out All The Rest" - Linkin Park

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 I've 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 I've 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


=========================================
And this song is just so captivating and moving to me..
=========================================
Slightly Out Of Reach - James LaBrie
=========================================
Lyrics By: Matt Guillory
Music By: Marco Sfogli, Matt Guillory, Mike Mangini, Bryan Beller
=========================================
Working so hard
What are you getting out of this
Commitment, have many nice things
But there's no time to take a rest
And you're spent

In the moment, you never seem to be
That time will come

Taken from those
You should be here, you look on
But you're not part of anything there
The days and the years are passing
Quite the man
With your worldly possessions
The crown upon you in all its glory

Driven around
Down these same ole roads
You've known far too long
Turning around's
Not an option in front of you
You're too far gone

And all the signs are warning him
A dead end street

Taken from those
You should be here, looking on
But you're not part of anything there
The days and the years have passed you
Getting old
With your worldly possessions
The crown upon you in all its glory

Not sure that you know
Any more, what you feel right now
To look back when you dreamed
That you'd have everything you want
It's so hard to just to get through

So much of the time
You were not here, you looked on
But were not part of anything there
The days and years have passed you
Now you're old
All your worldly possessions
Crumbling...
Now all of your time is spent there
They moved on
And they're not part of anything here
The days and the years have passed you
And you're old
With your worldly possessions
All crumbling round you
And all it's glory

I have a lot of songs that inspire me, but here's one of them:

Song: Comatose
Artist: Skillet

I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to You
Tell me that You will listen
Your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losing You

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of You

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna live , I don't wanna breathe
'Les I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to You never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way You make me feel
Waking up to You never felt so real
[End Chorus]

I hate living without You
Dead wrong to ever doubt You
But my demons lay in waiting
Tempting me away
Oh how I adore You
Oh how I thirst for You
Oh how I need You

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of You

I don't wanna live , I don't wanna breathe
'Les I feel You next to me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to You never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep , I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way You make me feel
Waking up to You never felt so real

[Bridge:]
Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes open up

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdoes of You

I don't wanna live , I don't wanna breathe
'Les I feel You next to me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to You never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way You make me feel
Waking up to You never felt so real

Oh how I adore You
Waking up to You never felt so real

Oh how I thirst for You
Waking up to You never felt so real

Oh how I adore You

Oh

The way You make me feel
Waking up to You never felt so real

I'm The Best At Ruining My Life
From Autumn to Ashes


I've Boarded up the windows to keep the morning from intrusion,
I've left it on the doorknob,
Could you just please not disturb.

On days like these we find it so hard to push
ourselves up and out of bed,
When nothing falls in favor of.

I have so many things I would like to explain to you,
But I don't know just how to communicate,
I can't take this body shaking.

Dress and we'll begin,
Nights can be so violent,
When beds become vacant.

So now I've blown it once again,
This would have been the last offense

And you should have been here months ago with open arms,
and honest face.

Address full doubt you've ever felt frustration,
Well, I'm choking on it now,
and it's the hardest thing for me to shake.

Is it because of the vacancy that you swear never to belive?
Honestly honest me, with a look that's so decieving.

I'll bite chew swallow and digest the hands that feed me,
with a bayonet for a tongue, swallow swords inadvertently,
and to the organ flame I'll maintain a close adjacency

I have so many themes; I would love to explain to you,
Farewell to all the days you were,
Within my reach,
And as of right now,
Everything is making perfect sense.

Here's one I found extremely powerful... you have to know French to understand why, and the fact that the guy who sings it, Corneille, is from Rawanda and experienced the genocide there first hand at the age of 14. God, it made me cry...

It's called "Lettre à la Maison Blanche" (Letter to the White House)

Je viens te voir en grande détresse
J'ai les valises pleines de messages SOS
On dit de toi que tu fais la loi,
La pluie, la paix et plus que ça
On a crié à l'aide déjà
On a crié en vain chaque fois
Mais comme on n'a rien nous
Parait qu'on vaut pas très cher nous
Mais tant qu'a faire le beau et Dieu sur terre.
donne-nous

(refrain)
Un peu de ta voix et ton or, Sir,
Un peu de bras de tes hommes forts, Sir,
Pourrais-je peut-être t'interesser à monde oublié
Y'a de l'amour à semer,
Un peu de ta voix et ton or, Sir,
Un peu de bras de tes hommes forts, Sir,
Pourrais-je peut-être t'intèresser à un nouveau marché
Y'a de la paix à récolter.

Au pire tu verras ça fait bien paraître la charité
Et une meilleure image, y'a de braves gens chez toi
qui l'ont méritée
Pour une fois, fais juste un don, si c'est pas pour nous,
Fais-le au nom du Père, du Fils et du St-Esprit
Achète-toi une place au paradis et donne-nous

(refrain, repeated 2x)

Finally!! I dunno why this thread wasn't started sooner. XDD Anyway, here's one from my latest ablum of music obsession, Avenue Q - The Musical. It's funny, but at the same time, there's a message in it for everyone...

AVENUE Q: THE MUSICAL - "PURPOSE"
Purpose...it's that little flame, that lights a fire -- under your @ss.
Puporse...it keeps you going, like a car on a full thank of gas.
Everyone else has a purpose. So what's mine?
-- Oh, look, a penny!! ...It's from the year I was born.
(Gasp) ...It's a sign!! Ha!!

BA-BA-BA-BA
DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO

I don't know how I know. But I'm gonna find my purpose.
I don't know where I'm gonna look. But I'm gonna find my purpose.
Gotta find out.
Don't wanna wait.
Gotta make sure that my life will be great!!
I gotta find my purpose...

...before it's too late.

I'm gonna find my purpose.
It could be far. It could be near.
Could take a week, a month, a year (maybe more).
Add a job -- or smoking grass, ha!!
Maybe at a pottery class?

Could it be?
Yes it could.
Something's coming, something good!!
I gotta find my purpose.
I gotta find my purpose.
I'm gonna find it.

What will it be?
Where will it be?
My purpose in life is a mystery!!
I gotta find my purpose...

...I gotta find me.

I'm gonna find my purpose!!
Purpose, purpose, purpose!! Yeah, yeah!!

...I gotta find me.

----------------------

And Swords, that sounds like a neat song!! I'll be sure to check it out.

Mine is Unwell By Matchbox 20. I have related to these lyrics sence I first heard the song when I was 5




All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
