The Reason For Songs

I have decided to make this thread because there are many songs that people like because they have a meaning. Post the song, artist & your reason why the song is so special to you. If possible, post the lyrics:)



I like the song She will be loved by Maroon5. I like this song because it tells how everybody is beautiful, even if you don't think it. A person will do so much, just to get this girl to like him. He says that he will do anything for her...even though shes hurt inside. Well, thats what I think its about at least!



Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

A song that means alot to me is "The Special Two" Missy Higgins.

I've hardly been outside my room in days…
cause I don’t feel that I deserve the sunshine’s rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
and it was then I realized that conscience never fades.
When you’re young you have this image of your life:
that you’ll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you make boundaries you’d never dream to cross,
and if you happen to, you wake completely lost.


But I will fight for you,
be sure that I will fight until we’re the special two
once again.

And we will only need each other,
we’ll bleed together,
our hands will not be taught to hold another’s,
Coz we’re the special two.

And we could only see each other,
we’ll breathe together,
these arms will not be taught to need another's,
Coz we’re the special two.


I remember someone old once said to me:
“the lies will lock you up with truth the only key.”
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
and couldn’t see this place could soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well I guess the answer is don’t do it in the first place.
I know I’m not deserving of your trust from you right now,
ah but if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down
coz we were the special two,
and will be again.


And we will only need each other,
we’ll bleed together,
our hands will not be taught to hold another’s,
Coz we’re the special two.

And we could only see each other
we’ll breathe together,
these arms will not be taught to need another's,
when we’re the special two.


I step outside my mind’s eye's for a minute.
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease,
or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself,
just remembering, just remembering how we were…


when we would only need each other,
we’d bleed together,
these hands would not be taught to hold another’s,
we were the special two.

And we could only see each other
we’d bleed together,
these arms will not be taught to need another's…
coz we’re the special two.

I love this song, i dont even know why it all that special, maybe because i am lacking in that "Special" other person in my life??????

The song that "speaks" most to me at the moment in NUMB by Linkin Park. (I guess because of all the stuff I am dealing with, and I feel like I am under pressure not to dissapoint people)

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertone, just caught in the undertone
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do,
is be more like me and be less like you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Hubby and I both love this song because - well, it reminds us of US:D It talks about life, changes, love - but always being together. We just celebrated our 30th anniversary in December and I met him when I was 15 and I am now 50. So, it is a special song to us.

I especially love the ending because that is now where we are! We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when It is so good to dance to, also!


"Remember When" - sung by Alan Jackson

Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

:( ((((Julie))))) Songs really DO touch the heart and express emotions, don't they??? Happy and sad both...I can feel some of what you are feeling, reading these lyrics... my sweet friend!!

OMG... this one is going waaaaayyyy back. I was in highschool, the song was by Air Supply.

When winter calls and the wind won’t wait
Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so alone like a prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see

(chorus)
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid

The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can’t see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are free

(chorus)
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just loved the song. It really spoke to me, my teen angst of feeling lost and alone. :o I even did a huge calligraphy on parachement of it for art class. Everyone else was doing Def Leppard, Van Halen, and I did Air supply :D

I've got so many songs that I love because a lot of my friends and I have own songs together. But Reflection, from the movie moulan, is my song, I love it!

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

We Might As Well Be Strangers by Keane

I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a another time
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know
