Songs that Inspire I always listen to the words in songs and try and understand the message. I know a friend who used Chers "Believe" as her saviour after leaving her ex. No matter how hard I try You keep pushing me aside And I cant break trough Theres no talking to you Its so sad that youre leaving It takes time to believe it But after all said and done Youre gonna be the lonely one, ooh I used to always listen to the Chili Peppers' "Hey" You used to be so warm and affectionate. All the little things I used to hear my fairy say, But now you're quick to get into your regret. I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away. In fact I used to drive to and from work with that blasting with me screaming "you used to be so warm and affectionate!" with tears streaming down my face. Looking back I wonder what other road users thought. It kind of makes me laugh now! Anyway - that song was on before and I thought it might make an interesting thread. Anyone else have these special songs? |
There are so many songs that inspire me. The one that keeps me out of the whole codie thing with my A son is Be Somebody by Three Doors Down. Lyrics below: The shades gone up Mother's staring down She don't know where he's been Or how long he's been out She said 'Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends' He said 'Mom I'm TRYING and im living my life the best way that I can' Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down The day has come The SON is moving on She don't know where he'll go Or when he's coming home She said 'Son take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight' He said 'I love you now, don't worry about me you know I'll be fine' Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down No I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I won't ever let you I won't ever let you What they say What they know What they think wont ever bring me down This life is mine and I am my own......... I just try to keep reminding myself that it is HIS life to live......not mine to direct. I play this song when I realize that I'm forgetting that very important fact. |
Learning about recovery, and all the doubts that come along with it. I had a Springsteen CD in on my way to a meeting, "Into the Fire" hit soo close to home (the refrain anyway)....... May your strength give us strength May your faith give us faith May your hope give us hope May your love give us love Just kinda seemed to bring things into focus better .:dance1: |
For me, right now, Jewel's Stronger Woman is most inspiring (hence my user name), you can see/hear it on youtube.com if you'd like: I guess you could say I'm one of those girls That's always been with one of those guys You know the type Like right now, he sleeps while I write But it's better than crying I'm worn out from trying From loving a man who always makes it clear I'm not welcome here Just till he's horny and hungry or needs something cleaned And you know what I mean But not tonight 'Cause come the morning light, oh I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else Believe in me, even if someone can't see The stronger woman in me I'm going to be my own best friend Stick with me till the end Won't lose myself again, never, no, 'Cause there's a stronger woman, A stronger woman in me Light bulbs buzz, I get up And head to my drawer I wish there was more I could say Another fairytale fades to gray I've lived on hope Just like a child Walking that mile Faking that smile All the while Wishing my heart had wings Well tonight, I'm going to be The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else Believe in me, even if someone can't see There's a stronger woman in me I'm gonna be my own best friend Stick with me till the end I won't lose myself again, never, no 'Cause there's a stronger woman, A stronger woman This is me, packing up my bags And this is me, headed for the door And this is me, the best you ever had I'm going to love myself More than anyone else Believe in me even if someone cannot see There's a stronger woman in me I'm going to be my own best friend Stay with me till the end Won't lose myself again, never, no 'Cause there's a stronger woman A stronger woman There's a stronger woman, A stronger woman in me |
