Not to change this to depressing breakup songs but, here we go;
Sugar (Bob Mould) If I Can't Change Your Mind
Tears fill up my eyes I’m washed away with sorrow And somewhere in my mind I know there’s no tomorrow I see you’re leaving soon I guess you’ve had your fill But if I can’t change your mind Then no one will
And all throughout the years I’ve never strayed from you my dear But you suspect I’m somewhere else You’re feeling sorry for yourself Leaving with a broken heart I love you even still But if I can’t change your mind Then no one will
Even though my heart keeps breaking Don’t you know that I’ll be waiting Here for you Then when you return When will you return I hope you see I’m dedicated Look how long that I have waited If you come back then you will find A different person If you change your mind
How can I explain away Something that I haven’t done And if you can’t trust me now You’ll never trust in anyone With all the crazy doubts you’ve got I love you even still But if I can’t change your mind Then no one will
Someday you’ll see I’ve been true I’ll stay that way until But if I can’t change your mind Then no one will
And from that wellspring of happy feelings, Joy Division
Joy Division (Ian Curtis)Love Will Tear Us Apart, Again
When routine bites hard, And ambitions are low, And resentments ride high, But emotions won't grow, And we're changing our ways, taking different roads.
Then love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again.
You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed. And there's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold. Just that something so good just can't function no more.
But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again.
Quote: John Denver makes me think of a time when things were so much simpler.
Me too. My six bridesmaids were all between the ages of 12 and 21. They wore white embroidered nightgowns (really!), played guitar and cello and sang the following John Denver song at our outdoor semi-hippie style wedding.
I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your hand. I'll do anything to keep you satisfied, I'll love you more than anybody can. And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time. Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.
I'll be there when you're feeling down to kiss away the tears that you cry. I'll share with you all the happiness I've found, a reflection of the love in your eyes. And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow, a whisper of the joy that is mine. Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.
I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand. I'll do anything to help you understand, and I'll love you more than anybody can. And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time. Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.
They changed "tiny hand" to "hand". I think we agreed on this song because there was a limited number of chords they could play.

HDsocal, Joy Division AND Bob Mould.... I need to get you to some happy music again. Joy Division.. that is a group from my darker days to be sure.
Here is some cheer. Have it with beer, or your dear.
Taj Mahal Take a Giant Step
Though you failed at love and lost And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled Its time its time its time you felt like that again
There is just no percentage in remembering the past Its time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind
You stare at me with disbelief You say for you there's no relief But girl I swear it won't do you no harm Don't sit there in your lonely room Just looking back inside that gloom Mama that's not were you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green N' Everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind
Though you failed at love and lost And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled Its time its time its time you felt like that again
There is just no percentage in remembering the past Its time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind
My Bro sent that on tape to me when my GF in HS dumped me. I always hear it as a get better song.
Had this one going through my head today while reading the forum... It's weird, because I'm actually in a much more hopeful place than I have been. Or so I've been telling myself.
Quote: We are not together here, though we lie entwined. To make room for the other presence, we both draw back in our minds... I have a prophecy threatening to spill into words: this growing certainty of Over.
There once was a time I was sure of the bond, when my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough. We are the same but our lives move along, and the third one between replaces what once was love.
Freedom is being alone; I fear liberation. But something more alive than silence swallows conversation. No pleasing drama in subtle averted eyes, the swelling fermata as the chord dies.
"Between," Vienna Teng
I am turning in revolution
these are the scars that silence carved
on me
I wanna love you and treat you right; I wanna love you every day and every night: We'll be together with a roof right over our heads; We'll share the shelter of my single bed; We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread. Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'? Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'? I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now! I got to know - got to know - got to know now!
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able, So I throw my cards on your table! I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right; I wanna love you every day and every night: We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads; We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed; We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.
Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'? Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'? Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now! Yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able, So I throw my cards on your table! See: I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya - love and treat ya right. I wanna love you every day and every night: We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads! We'll share the shelter of my single bed; We'll share the same room, yeah! Jah provide the bread. We'll share the shelter of my single bed
Here's one: Mr. Mister Is it love? I say I love you I hold you near me
You say I scare you well that's your fear. I know the message my heart is sending
But you don't read it you keep me guessing. Is it love is it love we're after? Is it love is it is it love?
The broken record goes round and round Within a circle without a sound. I'm under water in overdrive
You hide in laughter what's on your mind? Is it love is it love we're after? Why don't you tell me? Is it love. is it. is it love? Is it love is it love we're affer? Why can't you tell me? Is it love is it really love?
Is it love is it love we're after? Why can't you tell me? Is it love is it is it love? Is it love is it love we're after? Is it love is it really love? Is it love is it love we're affer? Why don't you tell me? Is it love is it really love? Is it love is it love we're after? Is it love is it really love?
