Make You Feel My Love
Bob Dylan
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my love, oh yes
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
- Winds of Change, The Scorpions
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See-through baby blue
He dug it
Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Now he's caught, a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it
Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne don't do it again.
Arnold Layne - Pink Floyd

In Perfect Harmony
Within Temptation
In a world so far away
At the end of a closing day
A little child was born and raised
Deep in the forest on a hidden place
Mother never saw his face
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Fruit by birds, honey by bees
He found shelter under the trees
He grew up in their company
They became his family
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony
A thousand seasons, they passed him by
So many times have said goodbye
And when…
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sittin' in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
She said "free that brown-eyed man
If you want your job you'd better free that brown eyed man"
Flyin' across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walkin' 'cross the sand
She been walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay
To meet a brown-eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown-eyed handsome man
Way back in history, 3000 years
In fact, ever since the world began
There's been a whole lotta good women sheddin' tears
Over a brown-eyed handsome man
It's a lot of trouble for a brown-eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her, "Darling, go out and find
Yourself a brown-eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy, he's a brown-eyed handsome man"
Brown-Eyed Handsome Man - Chuck Berry
Oh Yeah - Roxy Music
Some expression in your eyes
Overtook me by surprise
Where was I
How was I to know?
How can we drive to a movie show
When the music is here in my car?
There's a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They're playing "oh yeah" on the radio
And so it came to be our song
And so on through all summer long
Day and night drifting into love
Driving you home from a movie show
So in tune to the sounds in my car
There's a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They're playing "oh yeah" on the radio
It's some time since we said goodbye
And now we lead our separate lives
But where am I, where can I go?
Driving alone to a movie show
So I turn to the sounds in my car
There's a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
There's a band playing on the radio
And it's drowning the sound of my tears
They're playing "oh yeah" on the radio
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners
This song has the most honest love song lyrics ever. At this moment, we don't know what's happening tomorrow, but at this moment...
Come on, Eileen, oh I swear
At this moment, you mean everything
Not my favorite song - but favorite lines from this haunting song
Alanis Morissette - Uninvited
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
U2 is one of my favorite bands of all time. This song is less known - but the lines of this one are a favorite:
U2 - Hawkmoon 269
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawk moon
I need your love
I need your love
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
Like coming home
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love...
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love
Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love
(I need your love)
Like the hot needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love...
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love...
Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stained
I need your love
(I need your love)
Like a needle in a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
I need your love...
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
(In the heart of the heat of the love)
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
(In the heart of the heat of the love)
I need your love...
First thing we'd climb a tree
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life
Tragically Hip - Ahead By a Century
Truth. For me, this captures the perfect balance of hope and trepidation when looking to the future because there's no do-over when it comes to this thing called "life".
This song has always touched me since I've always had wanderlust. The need to go and explore, but I've also always wanted a solid place to fall, someone to be there guiding me home.
Long As I Can See The Light - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Though I'm goin', goin'
I'll be comin' home soon
Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift awhile
Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old travelin' bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave alone
But I won't, won't
Be losin' my way
Long as I can see the light
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Though I'm goin', goin'
I'll be comin' home soon
Long as I can see the light x4
One of my favorites.
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
I'll never forget the people I met
Braving those angry skies
I remember well as the shadows fell
The light of hope in their eyes
And though I'm far away
I still can hear them say
"Thumbs up!"
For when the dawn comes up
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
I may not be near, but I have no fear
History will prove it too
When the tale is told
It will be as of old
For truth will always win through
But be I far or near
That slogan still I'll…
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
Headed straight into the shining sun
Coming back to life - Pink Floyd
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Fancy by Reba McEntire
I knew what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow
That I's gonna be a lady someday
Though I don't know when or how
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame
You know I might have been born just plain white trash
But Fancy was my name
I don't care how many times I hear this stanza I get chills.
