A Song a Day

[ghosTea]

This song has always puts me into a blissful state An amazing love song, I need to find someone I can listen to this song with side by side

Hold me gently
Hold me strong
And make it last forever
We have waited
Far too long
To be this way together

You my lover
You my friend
Finally fate has seen us
We could stay here
'Till the end
With only our skin between us

Here my angel
Here my sweet
These arms were made to frame you
Heaven meant
For us to meet
And all my dreams became you

You my lover
You my friend
Finally fate has seen us
We could stay here
'Till the end
With only our skin between us

Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts

Hold tight, it's a sing-along
I'm alright, I'm alright, but I could be wrong, baby
I know you remember me
'53 in the back of the lavory, come on
You could at least try and look at me
Oh man, oh man, what a tragedy, haha
Bang, bang, there goes paradise
I chill why we always had to roll the dice, la la
Heartbeat in the regular
Two seats in the back of the cinema, hazy
Ah yeah, you're forgettin' it
And all the mad shit we did after that, crazy
Your heart, come on, baby
I swear you're giving me shivers, shivers

Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
When all that's left to do is watch it burn
Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts

Hold on, it's a marathon
Run fast, run fast like the rivers run, goddamn
Never seen in the restaurant
I took a minute till the penny dropped, you know
My tears don't fall too often
But your knife is cuttin' me deep
Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep

Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts yeah
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
When all that's left to do is watch it burn
Oh yeah yeah baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts

It hurts the way that you pretend you don't remember
It hurts the way that you forget our times together
Like the time laid in bed when you said it's forever, baby
I can't, I can't explain no more

Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
When all that's left to do is watch it burn
Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts

Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
And loving you the way I do, it hurts

Hopefully everyone noticed that this got moved to the coffee house It just seemed more suiting to be here as it has become a nice little gathering to share the music that we love and new people keep on popping in.

Today has been really hard.. It would have been the perfect day to leave and never come back.. But making it through today is a triumph in itself because the alternative seems so much easier right now... Anyways this song reflects how I feel today. Boduf Songs is also within my imaginary top ten bands. Only a few people bands capture depression as well for me.

Now that we find ourselves an ending
Struggle and afterglow are done
Ee could be out with beasts and vampires running in circles
But I can’t keep the pace with them
Someone keeps pointing out times you fall through
Someone keeps laughing at the way we break
We will be ignorant we will turn the sound down
I will be here for you if you like now that we found our way to an exit
there is no language left in our tongues
holding our fists above like a martyr
With bruises from battles that I won’t rise to ride again
Wielding blunt instruments we marched on cracked skulls
Under a avalanche of a ruined day
Almost invincible
Everything must end
Stay with me until the hammer cracks my skull for the last time
I’ll stay with you until the blood has drained completely

If raindrops could sound like robots, I'd imagine it would sound something like this.

A dear friend told me about this song today and I think it's beautiful his outlook on life and his family.

Thanks for joining us @moxman

Opening theme from my favorite Anime movie.

 

[ghosTea]

Should have looked for English translation lyrics instead of assuming they were just hard to come by lol

In the distant sky, the clamor from a ring of spinning flowers
awakens the diverging paths I passed through that day, on that day

I followed a girl who showed me the way, an incarnation of the shimmering haze, (2)
and high upon a hill appeared the nameless field I’d yearned for

The shadow whispered, “That is the city I showed you in your dreams,”
day after day, upon passing through the countless branching paths

A wise man in the darkness gathered cast-off days,
and along the coast, along the coast, made to dance a strange, unknown flame

Ah, the mantle loquaciously fans up the flame,
and congratulates those standing in the abandoned field
Ah, before the eyes of the silent, silent girl
ah, the lights (3) begin to burn (4) in the unknown capital

High in the sky, a pattern of clouds dyed red like a burning flame
showed me the road I had lost that day, that day

Pursuing the wind that oft blows in my dreams, I descended time,
and along the riverside, along the riverside, beheld an unknown flower of joy

This used to be one of my favourite bands way back in the day. This is a song that I still love to listen to though. Yay for Canadian bands!
Red Star – The Birthday Massacre

Best of cruel intentions
Finding what they fail to mention
No truth, all pretension
Raise your hand to get attention

You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You sign and we erase it
You'd feel it
We'd fake it

It's my red star steal it
It's my red star can't let go
It's my red star conceal it
It's my red star oh no

Wasted education
Celebrating imitation
Misplaced admiration
Speaking for a generation

You'd give it
We'd take it
You'd build it
We'd break it
You silently erase it
You'd feel it
We'd fake it

It's my red star steal it
It's my red star can't let go
It's my red star conceal it
It's my red star oh no

 

[moxman]

It's my red star oh no

I like it =)

@Snake on the Moon this is how we do things in the Country :P To me this is country music but like we had chatted about it might not sound that way to people who are use to the more mainstream modern version of the genre. and you get a bonus song which is unquestionably country and a fun song/story. I broke the rules just for you on this one :P

The first and last time I met her, we was children seven years by
She held my hand so softly, she was perfectly shy
My family went to wander, six years in foreign lands
I returned on last evenin', to take her by my hand
Long about break of morn, I met with my girl
She looked at me with crossed eyes so I sent her from this world
I cracked her with my shovel, she bent my shovel's blade
She still had them crossed eyes as I dug her crooked grave

This is how it's always been, This is how we do things in the country

Long the nexted mornin' the rains they came down
Washed away that crooked grave washed her straight into town
She nudged 'ginst Judge Henry she looked at him with cock eyes
Judge Henry he's as thick as the best built dam but even he knew she'd passed on by
Long late that evenin', I sought her kin folk out
I asked to sing at her funeral, they said "Son, we'd be proud"
My song it began to bend and break, as her box went in the ground
They dug her a brand new hole, with walls true up and down

This is how it's always been, This is how we do things in the country

Late in the dark time, I went creepin round the town
Entered every pine board shed, all their tools I did found
Put them in my vice grip, turned 'em to the left and right
Returned them to their tool sheds, straightened out this town with might
Now when they hoe a garden, it angles to the northeast
When they raise a new building, it leans askew and Lord does it creak
Now when they shape a new tool, from the ones I made unstraight
Every which way things be crossin' up, these crooked graves will be their fate

This is how it's always been, This is how we do things in the country

 

[Snake on the Moon]

@ghosTea The first one reminds me more of rockabilly than country. Have to say that I kind of agree with your friends there. Sorry! Haha!

Always breaking the rules, you seem to enjoy it.

 

[ghosTea]

Rockabilly No :P Closer to Southern Gothic if anything :P Oh genres lol OK well let me give a counter argument that if you look at the band overall you would call them country that track I shared is more upbeat but this is another track off the same album that pushes there over all sound into country music and less into Rockabilly.

 

[ghosTea]

If you still disagree that is fine lol I won't argue any further.. But when I think of country this is the first band that came to mind. Actually got to see them live. Might be the best show I have seen.

 

[Snake on the Moon]

MY idea of country. I've always loved this song.
Travellin' Soldier – Dixie Chicks

Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me, I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says
A soldier's coming home

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says
A soldier's coming home

One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your head
For the list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says
A soldier's coming home

I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says
A soldier's coming home

I love this song. I think it's very powerful especially when she breaks down crying , it must be something very close to her heart.

 

[Snake on the Moon]

I've waited so long to have this song finally be released. When I saw these guys live, they gave us a treat and played this song before the official release. This song touched my soul in such a way that I was crying with happy tears. Unfortunately they don't have a video of it so hopefully a link to a song of it is okay. There's three guys in the band, but 'Lion' is the one singing this song as the main. (They all switch turns in different songs, which is great because their music has tons of variety that way.) I'll type the lyrics out myself, I hope I get them right!

Dakota – Lion Bear Fox

Stop killing me with all this medicine
I needed pills and trills and drink
Well I ain't innocent but I'm not holding up to feel these pangs of dread
Maybe I'll find a dance in Dakota where I won't be broken
Well I might finally see what was meant for me
When I lay my burden down
Maybe I'll find a dance in Dakota where I won't be broken
Maybe I'll find a dance in Dakota where I won't be broken
Maybe I'll find a dance in Dakota where I won't be broken, broken
Maybe I'll find a dance in Dakota where I won't be broken, broken​

Ah, whistle me a windmill
And talk me to the sea
Can't be forever in your summer land
Feeling like geometry
Takes me over, takes me underground
Leaves me writhing in the reeds
Hiding somewhere in the choir
I won't let you, I won't let you

Sing my name again, love
Sing my name again, love
Sing my name again
Love is not love
When it's a coat hanger
A borrowed line or passenger

Ah, fix a lid on southern dreams
Throw disintegrating melodies
To the sciences between
Keep me dancing in your wet yard
Where no eyes could ever reach
Call me over for the chorus
I won't let you, I won't let you

Sing my name again, love
Sing my name again, love
Sing my name again
Love is not love
When it's a coat hanger
Borrowed line or passenger

And the bars go
And it keeps me high
But I don't know how to love you
And I part your hair
Like the coat is mine
But I don't know how to love you
And I made the air move in arrows
But I don't know how to love you
And your bread is warm
And it fills my nights
But I don't know how to love you right

You are definitely allowed to post it :P Part of the thread is to get some stories or thoughts that come along with the music. It is a nice song. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to type out the lyrics
