Every music that you hear means something to you one way or another. Every song has a meaning, every song tells a story. I started this so I could share with you a bit of myself.

Nitin Sawhney - Falling Angels

It's a time for grown-up boys
To make a mess of pretty things
To lose yourself and find
A peace in your good-bye
I lost my faith in you
To distant dreams of true
Nothing here redeems me
No angels to release me

Unchain my falling angels
Unchain my falling angels
To chain me

The shadows burry me
In rusty memories
Hopes for inside
My angels call goodbyes
You lost that photo-album smile
To memories fadded, fadded, fading...
Shall we fade child?

Unchain my falling angels
Unchain my falling angels
To chain me

Unchain my falling angels
Unchain my falling angels
To chain me


PS:For those living in Portugal: if you can't remember the song, try to remember the background music for the "Band of Brothers" (translated as "Irmãos de Armas") series advertisement in sic radical channel;).
I absolutely adore this song...

Frank Sinatra - One For My Baby


It's quarter ta' 3, theres no one in the place
-cept' you and me.
So set em' up Joe, I got a little story
you ought to know.
We're drinkin' my friend, to the end, of a
brief episode.

Make it One For My Baby, and One More For the Road.

I got the routine, put another nickel,
in the machine.
Feelin' so bad, can't ya' make the music,
easy and sad.
I could tell you alot, but you've gotta' be,
true to your code...

Make it One For My Baby, and One More For the Road.

You'd never know it, but buddy i'm a kind of poet, and i've
got a lot of things, i'd like to say.
And when i'm gloomy, won't you listen to me,
till' its talked away?

Well, thats how it goes, and Joe I know you're gettin'
anxious to close.
And thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind,
my bend in your ear.
But this torch that i've found, its gotta be drowned,
or it soon might explode.

So Make it One for My Baby, and one more for the Road.

The long, that long, it's long...

Toploader - Achillles Heel

Goodbye to the sky

I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel?
You are my achilles heel
Hello to below
I feel love flow like a river flow you and I
Standing still
You are my achilles heel

Feeling free yeah what about me?
Well you gotta give it up coz I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel

For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel

Small fry don't know why
Gotta get high just to love life
You are my highs and lows from my head to my toes
I said hey la
Will I go far?
Will I go far - cos I love life
Do you know how I feel?
You are my achilles heel
I said Oh no no
Will I go slow?
Now will I go slow?
When the feeling flows

For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel

Well you're feeling free
So what about me?
I said hello and goodbye
But I don't know why
Well while we're small fry
On the line
With my achilles heel
Achilles heel

Five Iron Frenzy - My Evil Plan to Save the World

I have an evil plan to save the world for every man,

And I think it's better than the way it's being run.
Oh the groundwork's laid,
No Don't be afraid,
I'm sure that I can fix it,
When I figure out the physics.

My evil plan to save the world,
Just you wait 'till it's unfurled,
It'll go down in history.
It's prophetic,
No, it's not pathetic.
I can't believe I made it up myself.

I have an evil plan,
To save the world you understand,
The exemplary feat, you'd think I'd have to cheat.
I'd make Voltaire proud,
Deep and furrow browed.
Uncanny and so clever, it's "Our Newest Plan Ever!"

Got tired of whining,
A grander scheme with silver lining,
For every boy and girl.
We can't be responsible,
For all that's wrong with this world.

Starving children in pain,
You can't believe in that God.
The world's not spinning your way,
Does every dog still have his day?

The Cure - Just like Heaven

'Show me, show me, show me

How you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my neck
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?'

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water, you're just like a dream
Just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Lauryn Hill (with Bob Marley) - Turn your lights down low

[Bob Marley] [Lauryn]
[Uh] Turn your lights down low
And pull your window curtain
Oh let the moon come shining in
Into our life again
Saying ooh, it's been a long, long time
[Long, long time]
I got this message for you girl
But it seems I was never on time
Did I wanna get through to you girl?
On time, on time [word]
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
[Uh, uh, right, uh]
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Yeah I want to give you some good, good loving [uh]

[Lauryn]
Turn your lights down low
[Word, word, uh, uh]
Never ever try to resist, oh no
[Na, na, na, na]
Let your love come shining in
[Na, na, na, na]
Into our lives again
[Na, na, na, na]
And ooh, I love you
[I love you, I love you]
And I want you to know right now
[Know right now]
Ooh I love you
[Uh-uh, yeah, uh]
And I want you to know right now [uh]
That I, that I
I wanna give you some love [uh, yeah]
I wanna give you some good, good loving
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I wanna give you some good, good loving [yeah uh-uh]

[Lauryn]
Loving you is a like a song I replay
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day [uh, uh]
And every chorus was written for us to recite [right]
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
It's potion like this ocean that might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard [uh]
And when I play them, every chord is a poem
Telling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know him [what? word]
The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress [uh]
If you asking then I'm telling you it's yes
Stand in love, take my hand in love, God bless [right]

[Lauryn & Bob]
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I wanna give you some good, good loving

[Lauryn] [Bob]
Good, good, good loving
[I wanna give you some good loving]

«Buy?»

PS:The first time I heard this, a couple of months ago, it got me hooked. Not by the lyrics exclusively but by the song as a whole. The beat, mood, melody, lyrics, all of them together made me post this, because I feel it's worth to share. I hope you like it:).

Hoobastank - Just One

I wanna live, I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go, I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show, gotta say
I've got a feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know if they got away
My opportunities

Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

I need to think, I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place, I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give, gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I am awake
I'm gonna push, I'm gonna pull, open up the door

Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

And if I knew when the door was open, I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say, when I do I'll never be the same
Never be the same

Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

(Just one) I'll take the chance if I can have it
(Just one) I'll take the chance if I can have it
(Just one) Yes, I'll take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Incubus - The Warmth

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb,

But there's a cold wind coming from,
The top of the highest high rise today.
Its not a breeze 'cuz it blows hard,
Yes and it wants me to discard,
The humanity I know,
watch the warmth blow away...

So don't let the world bring you down,
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive,
Experience the warmth before you grow old.

So do you think I should adhere,
To that pressing new frontier,
And leave in my wake, a trail of fear,
Or should I hold my head up high,
And throw a wrench in spokes by,
Leaving the air behind me clear?

So don't let the world bring you down,
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive,
Experience the warmth before you grow old.

Before you grow old...
Where did it go ?

Jonh Mayer - No Such Thing

Welcome to the real world, she said to me

Condescendingly
Take a seat, take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits and maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above

I am invincible, as long as I'm alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

This is our last goodbye

I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over, just hear this and then I'll go
you gave me more to live for
more than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, baby
And not consolation
You know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye

Did you say "No, this can't happen to me"
And did you rush to your phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying
"Maybe ... you didn't know him at all"

Well
The bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that it's over
It's over

INTRO POST

Every music that you hear means something to you one way or another. Every song has a meaning, every song tells a story.

I started this so I could share with you a bit of myself. Instead of commenting, I decided that my favourite bits of the song will be written like this. It's hard for me to comment on things I really like, so the music will speak for itself most of the times. =)

I'll always provide a link to where you can buy, and please don't forget to read the disclaimer.

Probably some songs will be uploaded, but that is a question to ponder about...

Oleander - Halo

And it's always little things

That to the surface brings
The comfort in the pain
The fear behind the smile
We lose along the way
The things we leave behind
Along the precipice
Of things we should not climb
And I'm the first in line
There's an anchor around my heart
Dragging me down
Beneath the waves in silence I fall
There's a halo above my head
Spinning me 'round
'Cause I don't know if I'm alive or dead
A dagger in my hand
Bleeding me dry

And it's always little things
That to the surface brings
The space you need to breathe
Before the curtain call
The light that leads the way
Before you hit the wall
The mountain that you climb
Just to take a fall
For blind among the blind

There's an anchor around my heart
Dragging me down
Beneath the waves in silence I fall
There's a halo above my head
Spinning me 'round
'Cause I don't know if I'm alive or dead
There's a dagger in my hand
Bleeding me dry

And all we have to lose is time
And what we lose we leave behind
Stay around and we will shine
