there are many songs that we all love becase they sound great.

Not everyone however pay that much attention to the lyrics of the song, I must admit I don’t.

But every now and then I hear a song that the lyrics do grab my attention and wont let go, here is one of them:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhdGkZ...

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence

What are your’s

Neil Diamond - Beautiful Noise

What a beautiful noise
Comin’ up from the street
It’s got a beautiful sound
It’s got a beautiful beat

It’s a beautiful noise
Goin’ on ev’rywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
It’s got rhythm to spare

It’s a beautiful noise
And it’s a sound that I love
And it fits me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does

What a beautiful noise
Comin’ up from the park
It’s the song of the kids
And it plays until dark

It’s the song of the cars
On their furious flights
But there’s even romance
In the way that they dance
To the beat of the lights

It’s a beautiful noise
And it’s a sound that I love
And it makes me feel good
Like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise

It’s a beautiful noise
Made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played
By the passing parade
It’s the music of life

It’s a beautiful noise
And it’s a sound that I love
And it makes me feel good
Just like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise

Comin’ into my room
And it’s beggin’ for me
Just to give it a tune

Bridge Over Troubled Water……Simon And Garfunkel

When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

cap’n jazz - forget who we are

i can’t stand standing here like this and i can’t take taking any of this talk serious. i can’t stand standing here like this and i can’t take taking any of your talk serious. swimming eyes and spitting whys splitting ties we realize. missed kisses blown through blue night air. walking you home with a bottle of boones between us. we’re trying so hard to forget who we are.

hey there

chris de burgh … carry one

Whatever the words that you hear
somehow the meaning is clear
we’re all on the same ship together
moving on

from the first time that life could be heard
to the last sounds of men on this earth
the question is always the same
where are we going? where are we going?

carry on, carry on
there’s a silver light beside you
take the hand that’s there to guide you
through this night
to where we came from

carry on, carry on
when the autumn leaves are fallin
and you hear the voices callin you
away they do not fear you
carry on

love is the daughter of life
and comfort to trouble and strife
she’s always beside you to help you
to carry on

oh they say that the stars in the sky
are the souls of the people who die
will we meet them again when we reach
our destination

carry on, carry on
there’s a silver light beside you
take the hand that’s there to guide you
through this night
to where we came from

carry on, carry on
when the autumn leaves are fallin
and you hear the voices callin you
away they do not fear you
carry on

carry on, carry on, carry on

carry on

Chris de Burgh. ….a celebration

Don’t worry darling,
That’s not forever in my eyes,
Just want to hold you for a while,
Nobody knows how it will go,
Spending this night together;

I can hardly believe it’s true,
I can hardly believe it’s you,
A celebration…

Turn it on and let it fly away,
And let’s see what we can do,
Oh little darling, it’s really something,
When it’s me and when it’s you;

I’m going to give you everything I have,
Until this night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?

I’ve got a feeling,
I’ve got a feeling in my heart,
We’d be together from the start,
Something inside you just cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;

I can hardly believe it’s true,
I can hardly believe it’s you,
A celebration…

Turn it on and let it fly away,
And let’s see what we can do,
Oh little darling, ain’t it something,
When it’s me and when it’s you;

I’m going to give you everything I have,
Until this night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?
Well this is it!

Something inside you just cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;

And I can hardly believe it’s true,
I can hardly believe it’s you,
A celebration…

And this is it!

holy water-big&rich

Somewhere there’s a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you’d never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can’t get out of her head
I can only imagine what she’s feeling
When she’s praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She’s looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she crys

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she’s felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

Missing, by Evanescence

Please, please forgive me,
But I won’t be home again.
Maybe someday you’ll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you’ll say to no one:
“isn’t something missing? “

You won’t cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant…?
Am I so insignificant…?
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?

[chorus]
Even though I’d be sacrificed,
You won’t try for me, not now.
Though I’d die to know you love me,
I’m all alone.
Isn’t someone missing me?

Please, please forgive me,
But I won’t be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
Shudder deep and cry out:
“isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me? “

[chorus]

And if I bleed, I’ll bleed,
Knowing you don’t care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t something…

[chorus]

and Easier to Run, by Linkin Park
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I’ve kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they’ve played

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

[Chorus]
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there’d never be a past

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
It’s so much simpler than change

[Chorus]
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

It’s easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It’s easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

It’s Not Over lyrics by Chris Daughtry.

“Daughtry It’t Not Over”

I was blown away
What could I say
It all seemed to make sence.
Your takin away everything
And I can’t do without.

I try to see the good in life.
The good things in life are hard to find.
We’re blowin away, blownin away
Can we make this something good?

Well I’ll try to do to it right this time around
It’s not over,
Try to do it right this time around
It’s not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It’s not over.

I’ve taken all I can take
And I cannot wait
We’re wastin too much time
Bein strong, holdin on
Can’t let it bring us down

My life with you means everything
So I won’t give up that easily
Blowin away blowin away
Can make this something good?
Cause it’s all misunderstood?

Well I’ll try to do to it right this time around
It’s not over,
Try to do it right this time around
It’s not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It’s not over.

You can’t let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don’t get caught up in yourself
Let it out.

Let’s start over
Well try to do to it right this time around
Its not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It’s not over.

Lets start over
Its not over
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It’s not over

“You - Evanescence”
(This song was never meant to be released, so I’ve gotta type out the lyrics for it cuz I doubt they’re anywhere on the net. ..Oh well..”

The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you.
And i cant sleep.
I need to tell you,
Goodnight.

When we’re together I feel perfect,
When im pulled away from you I fall apart.
All you say is sacred to me,
Your eyes are so blue,
I cant look away.
As we lay in the stillness, you whisper to me
Amy, Marry me.
Promise you’ll stay with me,
Oh, you don’t have to ask me.
You know you’re all that I live for.
You know I’d die just to hold you,
stay with you
Somehow I’ll show you that you are my night sky.
I’ve always been right behind you,
now I’ll always be right beside you.

So many nights
I cried myself to sleep
But now that you love me,
I love myself.
I never thought I would say this,
I never thought there’d be…
YOU.
