How about sharing some of our favourite songs with each other?

[Aquarius123]

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where,
Who knows when.
But I’m strong,
Strong enough to carry him.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

So on we go.
His welfare is of my concern.
No burden is he to bear.
We’ll get there.
For I know
He would not encumber me.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

If I’m laden at all,
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.

It’s a long, long road,
From which there is no return.
While we’re on the way to there,
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn’t weigh me down at all.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

He’s my brother.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

Something to lift the spirit and take us out of ourselves:

[Aquarius123]

Both Sides Now
Rows and flows of Angel hair,
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons everywhere.
I’ve looked at clouds that way.

But now they only block the Sun.
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now.
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheel.s
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
As every fairy tale comes real.
I’ve looked at love that way.

But now it’s just another show.
You leave them laughing when you go.
And if you care, don’t let them know,
Don’t give yourself away.

I’ve looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow,
It’s love’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say ‘I love you’ right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds.
I’ve looked at life that way.

But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed.
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day.

I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow,
It’s life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know life at all.
I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow.
It’s life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know life at all.

Memories
Light the corners of my mind.
Misty watercolour memories
Of the way we were.
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind.
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Memories,
May be beautiful and yet,
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget.

So it’s the laughter
We will remember,
Whenever we remember
The way we were.

Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman, Lyrics

[Kirovski22]

I'm completely addicted to the song Still Alive from the game Portal!

This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
"huge success!!"

It's hard to overstate
My satisfaction.

Aperture science:
We do what me must
Because we can.

For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
Over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
Till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are
Still alive.

I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now-
Even though you broke my heart,
And killed me.

And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now, these points of data
Make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time!
So i'm glad i got burned-
Think of all the things we learned-
For the people who are
Still alive.

Go ahead and leave me...
I think i'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you?
Maybe black mesa?
That was a joke! haha!! fat chance!!

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still talking
When there's science to do!
When i look out there,
It makes me glad i love you.

I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
Still alive.
And believe me i am
Still alive.
I'm doing science and i'm
Still alive.
I feel fantastic and i'm
Still alive.
While you're dying i'll be
Still alive.
And when you're dead i will be
Still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.

[Aquarius123]

If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the nights were long
When the moon stood still
For the night bird’s song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I’ll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We’ll sail on the sun
We’ll ride on the rain
We’ll talk to the trees
And worship the wind

But if you go
I’ll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s’oublier
Qui s’enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

But if you stay
I’ll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I’ll sail on your smile
I’ll ride on your touch
I’ll talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go
I’ll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you must
There is nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
Though I would have been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

An adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song ‘Ne me quitte pas’
