Sometimes musicians and song writers have a habit of writing something that means so much to you or of capturing in song, a personal snapshot of your life, feelings or event.
Is there any song, or part of a song that mirrors or describes your life at one point or another.
Or one that describes how you feel or live your life.
There are probably a few for everyone, but this si one of my most poignant ones.
It comes from the song Happy Ending by Mika.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
And when I heard this, it reminded me of a guy I used to work with. I was fresh from college and it was my first job, and he was my line manager. We just hit it off straight away, and I fell head over heels in love with him, and he with me.
The chemistry between us was unbelieveable and the passion and sexual tension absolutely crackled whenever we were near. He gave me feelings so powerful, that it took my breath away. I truly believed (and I still do), that he was/is my soul-mate
Sadly he was 17 years older than me, and married with kids, and I was engaged, so nothing ever came of it. We both new that to do anything about it would be wrong, and although it was hard, we respected each others decisions.
We kissed just twice in the 13 years we worked together, and I can still feel the way my heart leapt and my insides fizzed when we did. :inlove:
So, for me this song says it all, that although we loved each other so much, we were destined to spend our lives apart, with no happy ending for us. A case of right place, right people just the wrong time.
I left my place of work 7 years ago now, and havent seen him since, but I still think of him often, and wonder what would have happened had my life taken a different course.

Your Life In Song
I'm an urban guerrilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
My rising sign is Cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road
aahhh, those were the days

Good thread Mrs B :thumbup:
There's a couple of songs that sum things up for me.
A friend of mine told me that this song always reminded her of me... and my tendency, when I was younger, to get into trouble!
The Waterboys - The Whole of The Moon
The torch in your pocket
And the wind on your heels
You climbed on a ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
and then as I've got older, it is probably this:
Prince - The Beautiful Ones
Baby, baby, baby
Can't u stay with me tonight
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't my kisses please u right
U were so hard 2 find
The beautiful ones, they hurt u everytime
Paint a perfect picture
Bring 2 life a vision in one's mind
The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always everytime
...maybe I'm just too cynical, or maybe I've just picked the wrong kinda 'Beautiful Ones'!?!

These lines come from 'Circlesqaure' by The Wonderstuff, and sums me up pretty perfectly
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
but it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else
and now the circle doesn't fit it's little square
it bulges with opportunity ... bulges
But for happier memories the song 'Wings Of Speed' by Paul Weller make me think of my first love - so much so, that I cannot listen to it without drifting off to happier times (and on most occasions I get the 'something in my eye' moment)...
Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.
In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me
Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,
To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.
Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me

When I was still with my ex, but planning to leave my song was Some Day I'll Fly Away - can't remember who sang it. It totally desribed where I was and what I feared most from staying ie. giving up on dreams.
Once I left it was I'm Feeling Good - the Nina Simone version. The sense of freedom and totally different fear (a new life etc) was incredible.

JANIS JOPLINreminds me of a really bad year i had, i had to disappear and dek used to listen to it because it reminded him of me
"Little Girl Blue"
Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do ?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you’re through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.
Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel ’em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don’t you know it’s time,
I feel it’s time,
Somebody told you ‘cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It’s gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they’re falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you’re unhappy.
REM
"Losing My Religion"
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
signifies the relationship between me and my mother and me always feeling i had to do better than i was doing
Tracy Chapman, Fast Car.
The Whole song really, but especially the chorus:
You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
...because it's always been about trying to get somewhere, and not giving up the dream; the song reminds me about the price of not leaving tonight.
Ace piece of music too.

...wicked choices there. I'd like to see the inside of YOUR record collection.
its big and varied
"Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile."

I think the Album that most affected me (who said i was affected :shock: 
) was Quadrophenia by The Who. I remember its effect on me as a young man in and out of love and thinking I was unique :lol: god i still get shivers when i hear 'the real me' There was 'that' girl she ripped out my heart and ground it into the dust with her boot! ( knee high white leather if I remember rightly 
) but then , Oh it was the end of my life!

Yep this is one of my life moments songs too.
I was in hospital 28 weeks pregnant with my first child after they had finally stopped 8 hours worth of contractions with drugs. Tracy Chapman was on the TV in concert. I can't listen to this song without being transported back there and all the feelings coming back to haunt me. :cry:
I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago and thought at the time this should be my song.
I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it.
So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love.
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for.
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can.
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song.
The Carpenters.

Mine so far is Out of reach - Gabrielle
Knew the signs wasn’t right
I was stupid, for a while
Swept away, by you
And now I feel like a fool
Catch myself, from despair
I could drown if I stay here
Keeping busy, everyday
I know I will be ok
But I’m
So confused
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never met to be
So much hurt, so much pain
Takes a while to regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time
You’ll be out of my mind
I’ll be over you
And know I’m
So confused
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never met to be
Out of reach, so far,
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There’s a life out there for me

BOTH SIDES NOW Joni Mitchell
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions i recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions i recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions i recall.
I really don't know life at all.
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.

BITCH
I hate the world today
You're so good to me, I know
But I can't change
I tried to tell you but
You look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried,
Must have been relieved
to see the softer side
Reflecting the fact that I keep my feelings to myself -always
I can understand why
you are so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one
Typical Gemini- I change like the weather
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
All of the above!
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I go from being Mr W's lifeblood- to driving him nuts. But it's never boring.
So take me as I am
this may mean you'll
have to be a stronger man
rest assured that when
I start to get you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing
That'll be the hormones!
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think
You got me figured out
The seasons already changin'
I think its cool
You do what you do
And don't try to change me
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,

I'm nothing in between, You know you wouldn't want it any other way

I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease,
I'm a goddess, on my knees,
When you hurt, when you suffer,
I'm an angel under cover
Slut in the bedroom, but have given nearly 20 years of above-&-beyond patience & devotion.
I'm a nun :shock:I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Thats pretty much me, in a nutshell.

this song always had a good effect on me a good time time but more for the lyrics than anything else
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions have an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
gnarls barkley, crazy
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions have an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
gnarls barkley, crazy
This song sums me and my life up nicely! Sorry is so long 
"Real Girl" Mutya Buena
If I had one chance to
In my life again
I wouldn't make no changes
Now or way back when (yeah)
And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes
But I cant wait to find out
What it is that God knows
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
And nothing's ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
It would put my mind at ease (no)
So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Tryin' to catch a fallin star (yeah)
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be
I never pretend to be something I'm not

Baby this is who I am
Don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It wont be long til you know about me,
'Cause I don't give a...
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it wont be long till you know about me

The way I hope it goes
But I cant wait to find out
What it is that God knows
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
And nothing's ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
It would put my mind at ease (no)
So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Tryin' to catch a fallin star (yeah)
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
Baby this is who I am
Don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It wont be long til you know about me,
'Cause I don't give a...
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it wont be long till you know about me
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
Paper Lanterns by Green Day
Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes + happiness
That had you on my mind
Those days are gone + now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now + then I'll see you again
And it put's my heart to test
So when are all my problems
Going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder
(Will this ever end?)
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am is
Just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too...?
So when...(chorus)
Sums things up for me
Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes + happiness
That had you on my mind

I found markz' life symphony:
All those lonely blues songs, you might feel that you wrote 'em.
You might be sad and think that life has kicked you in the scrotum.
Be brave and wipe that teardrop from your eye,
there's one more remedy you can try:
Wanking your blues away,
Wanking your blues away
If you haven't had a promise
And you haven't got a sister or a wife
And your brother's not keen.
You can get to the promised land
The answer's right there in your hand
Try wanking to the rhythm of life
It's a source of some amusement
that the craft of self-abusement
was invented, so it's thought,
by the Greeks and the Westphalians,
perfected by Australians,
developed by the Welsh into a competitive sport.
Wanking your blues away,
Wanking your blues away
Shirt on the floor,
One hand and a metronome
And lots of boogy-woogy
The Cowman sits there on his farm
With loads of blisters on his arm
Wanking 'til the cows come home
(Garle it Ivor!)
It's time to take your trousers down
Lock the door and go to town
You can wipe away your frown and wank your blues away.
Don't worry that you'll lose your sight
Make the world seem gay and bright.
WANKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE and wank your blues away!
Wanking your blues away
Wanking your blues away
It's a harmless hobby, it's what your right arm's for
And not for drinking lager.
The basic kit for masturbation
Is a plonker and a hand and imagination.
Keep wanking 'til you just can't wank no more,
But don't forget to close the bathroom door!
