I love coldplay. "The Message" is off their newest album "X&Y" The chorus part (and I'm not going to take it back, etc.) really expresses my feelings of unrequited love about as clearly as any song I've heard.
"Recollect me darlin, raise me to your lips, two undernourished egos, four rotating hips"
I'm down a one way street With a one night stand With a one track mind Out in no man's land The punishment sometimes Don't seem to fit the crime
Yeah there's a hole in my soul But one thing I've learned For every love letter written There's another one burned So you tell me how it's gonna be this time
Is it over? Is it over? 'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind Tell me how it feels to be The one who turns The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find There's nothing there, girl Yeah I swear, I'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause
(Chorus) There's a Hole In My Soul That's been killing me forever It's a place where a garden never grows There's a Hole In My Soul Yeah, I should have known better 'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose Yeah, yeah
I'm as dry as a seven year drought I got dust for tears Yeah I'm all tapped out Sometimes I feel broken and can't get fixed
I know there's been all kinds of shoes Underneath your bed Now I sleep with my boots on But you're still in my head And something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks
'Cause if it's over Then it's over And it's driving me insane
Take a walk outside your mind Tell me how it feels to be The one who turns The knife inside of me Take a look and you will find There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
(Chorus)
Yeah, is it over? Yeah, it's over And I'm blowing out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind Tell me how it feels to be The one who turns The knife inside of me Take a look and you will find There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause Oh Oh....
Wow deep stuff...
Its not about getting what you want, its about wanting what you already have.
An absolutely fantastic song, and a great music video also. I also like "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face", "Clocks", and "Warning Sign" from the same album (A Rush of Blood to the Head). Of course I also like the new one that is getting a lot of radio airtime now, "Speed of Sound."
You do have one up on me, I haven't seen them in concert yet, but REALLY want to sometime. Unfortunately I live in a rural area so it is a bit harder to do that sort of thing.

This one by Meatloaf has been going through my head lately
Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can There's nothing left inside of here And maybe you can cry all night But that'll never change the way that I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you I need you But -- there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box
I can't lie I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not No matter how I try I'll never be able To give you something Something that I just haven't got
There's only one girl that I will ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart She never loved me back Ooh I know I remember how she left me on a stormy night She kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on telling me She kept on telling me She kept on telling me I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere
Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
Funny thing, when H and I were getting hot and heavy and wondering where it all was going, I actually said to him, "If you take me now, you take me forever." And he didn't ask to sleep on it. Now he's probably praying for the end of time. Love that one too. Although, I'll never use that line again, just look where it got me.
