I decided to pick one of my favorite songs from when I was in middle school. I decided to go with "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. It was either that or a Hanson song (google them if you want a good laugh).
And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.
And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.
And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.
And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I dont think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
To me this song has several themes. One could be insecurity in love, based on the line "I don't want the world to see me" and "I just want you to know who I am." The writer seems as if he loves someone but is afraid she will not love him back. Unconditional Love could also be a theme based on the lines "I'd give up forever to see you" and "All I can breath is your life." This lets us know that the writer would do anything for the one he loves.
I like the song because you can feel the emotion and hurt. The song is real and is not fake, you can tell the lyrics truly come from the writers heart.
If you would like to listen to the song google it :-).
I decided to choose the song "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift. It's from the upcoming movie, The Hunger Games, soundtrack.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [x7]
The theme of this song, I think, is that everything will be okay. In life, there are situations where it feels like everything's wrong and nothing can go right, but when you wake up the next morning, you'll be okay and you'll just forget about all the negative aspects in your life. I really like this song for many reaons; Taylor Swift is my favorite singer of all time, and the song is in a movie I am SO ready to see, The Hunger Games. It really fits the story perfectly. :)
I really like the song We Are Young by Fun. The theme of the song is have fun while you are still young. Life only gets harder as you get older, so as much fun as you can when you're younger. I like the song because it's a good beat and really fun song to belt the words to with a crowd. Like at our Luau dance, everyone started singing it and everyone knew the words! It was so much fun!
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight
I pick one of my favorite songs called Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope.
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
I don't wanna waste the weekend,
If you don't love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it's time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't see what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting the regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don't see what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
nooo
nooo
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
You are my heaven

I love Taylor Swift!
Mrs. A. Thomas
I love the song Better Days by the Goo Goo Dolls!
I decided to pick one of my favorite songs jump then fall by Taylor Swift.
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound
I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is
We should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me
I love each freckle on your face, oh
I've never been so wrapped up, honey
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted
I had time to think it oh, over
And all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath then jump then fall into me
Cause Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
And people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa oh, I need you baby
Don't be afraid, please
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I shine
And every time you're here
Baby I'll show you, I'll show you
You can Jump then fall, jump then fall
Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah
The theme of the song is probably about love. I like this song a lot because its by Taylor Swift and I love all of her songs, and its a nice slow song that i enjoy.
bferguson2, i love that song :)
A Thomas
Really? I didnt know you actually liked the Goo Goo Dolls.
Sbogue2
I love that song! Good choice!
My song is "i gotta pocket full of shunshine",i think thats the name.
I goota pocket got a pocket full of shunshine i got it all got it all but its all mine wwwwoooooohhhh
Do what you say becasue never gon shake me sticks and stones never gon break me WWWWOOOOOOHHHH
This is only my favorite song becasue its awesome and has nice rythem. All people should listen to it,they might have a pocket full of shunshine.
The theme of the song is you are always important to someone. I think this because the soldier isn't well known besides the one girl. She still cries for him even though no one else cares. I like this song because my dad was in the army and I can relate to it. Also, the story is sad but insprirng in a way that makes me smile when I hear it.
-Travelin' Soldier by The Dixie Chicks
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me,
I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
Chorus: I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile
[Chorus]
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read but nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[Chorus x2]
My favorite song is Somebody Like You by Adle.
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah
I believe the theme of this song is love. She loves him so much that she decides she will let him go and let him be happily married. I love this song because the lyrics are so catchy that when i hear it go i want to start singing. Also i love how its about someone she loves and she wishes to have someone like him. I am instantly drawn to love songs and this one makes me want to dance with someone special. This song is probably for girls or couples.
Flight of Icarus
by Iron Maiden
As the Sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly, touch the Sun
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly, touch the Sun
Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly toward the Sun
On your way, like an eagle, fly...
Fly as high as the Sun
-----------------------------------
The theme of this song is to be free but not go too far. This is thetheme of the song because if the boy had listened to the old man he would have stayed away from the sun. I like this song because of it's basis in Greek mythology. The story of Icarus and Daedalus is well known, and well represented by Dickinson's (the lead singer of Iron Maiden) lyrics.
I ride east every other Friday but if i had it my way
The day would not be wasted on this drive
And i want so bad to hold you
Son there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along
So i'll drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why, That I slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and i count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride
A day might come and you'll realize that if you could see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son please don't mistake me For a man that didnt care at all
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/highway-20-ride-lyrics-zac-brown-band.html ]
And i'll drive
And I'll think about my life
And wonder why, That I slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and i count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride
So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If i ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And i cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride....
Highway 20 ride by Zac Brown.
I like this song because its relaxing.I also like this song because i'm a big Zac Brown fan and I like country music. : ] The theme is a dad who try's to explain to his son that he is sorry for not being there for him and explains that its not his fault for the divorce that he could not work things out with his mom. Also that he would definitely rather be with his son than drive daily, wich is his job. Many dads can relate to this song. In the song he try's to convince his son that the only reason he's not been there is because of the differences between him and his sons mom.
i don't realy have a favorite song, but if i had to choose, it would be lynyrd skynryd's free bird.
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places
I've got to see
But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can?t change
Bye, bye, baby it's been a sweet love
Yeah, yeah
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
'Cause the Lord knows
I'm to blame
But, if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
Lord I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?
the theme of this song is set your spirit free. it was written as a tribute to dwane allman, a member of the allmon brothers who died in a car crash. i like this song because after the lyrics are over, one of the longest and most epic guitar solos plays. not only that, but the section with the lyrics is great for a slow dance for, lets say, piggy prom? i seriosly recomend looking up and listening to this song, as it is from the time when things are popular, they are actualy good, unlike today, where all that is popular is crap. but still, look it up, if you havent listend to it yet.
Spena6 when did that song come out?
bferguson2 When all those shadows almost killed your light reminds me of metroid prime 2 for some reason. possibly because of the whole dark light war going on in the game, and dark almost won, but the player managed to destroy the dark. no, seriously, samus destryed dark ather. it's cronologicaly the first planet she destroyed, then phaaze, zebes, and sr388
One of my favorite, clean songs is called "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day.
I like this song because it makes you think who else could be the enemy, not just the unknown character from the album it came from. It makes me think of world issues.
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, wah hey
Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Well, burning down the foreman of control
Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
The insurgency will rise
When the blood's been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies in your eyes
Sing!
Well, violence is an energy, oh ay, oh ay
Well, from here to eternity, oh ay, oh ay
Well, violence is an energy, oh ay, oh ay
Well, silence is the enemy so gimme gimme revolution!
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, wah hey
Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control
Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

I’ll carry you home tonight
The song We Are Young by Fun. To me the theme of the song is live life to the fullest while you are young because the older you get the less fun you can have.so have as much fun as you can while you're younger. I like the song because it has a really catchy beat and tone. while also every time I here the song and people are around it gets every one into a great party mood. "Like at our Luau dance :)"
Everyone started singing to it and everyone knew the words! and this is why I love this song so so so so so much. :)
Ahowell5,
aaaaaaah! That song.. I love it so much. It's so sad though ):
lmartinez5,
#TWINNING. I love Taylor Swift. I did her too <3
I decided to choose "Start Over" by Beyonce'.
I feel weak, we've been here before
'Cause I feel we keep going back and forth
Maybe it's over, maybe we're through
But I honestly can say I still love you
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic piece
And we're both too blind to find
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life
I can see that we're not happy here
So why would we keep pretending when there's nothing there
Maybe you like it, well I don't
Maybe you'll settle, well I won't
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic piece
And we're both too blind to find
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life
I know that this will hurt you
I know you'll cry
I know I called you selfish but that's a lie
I feel I know what's the best for us
Let's... start over!
And let's give love their wings
Let's start over
I'm tired of fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We both know that this love won't die
Maybe we can start all over
And give love another life
I think the theme of this song is that love deserves a second chance.In the song it keeps saying "lets start over." Also to fight for love because it says "we can't let our good love die." I like the song because it has a nice beat and it's a meaningful song. Also because I am OBSESSED with Beyonce', so that's why.
lbagley6, I like that song too! If you are serious I didn't know you listen to that!(SHOCKED!)
Mrs.Thomas, I didn't know you listen to the Goo Goo Dolls. I was kind of surprised!
I picked my new favorite song I know all the words and I really like it. I picked "what makes you beautiful" by one direction
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That what makes you beautiful
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
I think the theme to this song is beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think this is the theme because they guys in the song are talking about how beautiful this girl is when she doesn't, but they just keep singing about how beautiful they think she is. With all the things she does like how she smiles and moves her hair. Also they talk about how everyone around her can see how beautiful she is but she cant.and they talk about how they like to be around her. I really like the lyrics to this song there so sweet.
@ejones6 I love that song it is always playing on the radio and I know all the words its so catchy.
@lcbagley6 I wouldn't think that would be your choice of a song that you listen too but I love that song.
This song is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by IZ
OK this one's for Gabby

Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii
Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
There are probably more than one themes in the song. But i think the main theme of this song is that the world can be better depending on how you view it in my opinion. I like this song because it is peaceful and it has a nice melody. I heard it earlier this year and fell in love with it.
@ A thomas
I've heard of the goo goo dolls but never heard of that song
@lcbagely6
Nice. I like that song too but there's way more to that song man
my song is Drunk by Ed Sheeran. at first it sounds like a pop song just by the title but its a realy chill song about this guy who is having problems with someone he loves and their relashionship isn't the same so he just wants to stay drunk so that he doesn't have to think about it anymore.
i wanna be drunk when i wake up
on the right side of the wrong bed
and every excuse i made up
to tell the truth i hate
what didn't kill me
it never made me stronger at all.
Love will scar your makeu-up lip sitcks to me to
so now i'll maybe leave back there
im sat here wishing i was sober
i know i'll never hold you like i used to.
But out house gets cold when you cut the heating
without you to hold i'll be freezing
cant rely on my heart to beat it
caus you take part of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
replace with phrases like when your leaving me.
Should I, should I?
maybe ill get drunk again
ill be drunk again
ill be drunk again
to feel a little love
I wanna hold your heart in both hands
i'll watch it fizzle at the bottom of a coke can
and i've got no plans for the weekend
so shall we speak then
keep it between friends
Though i know you'll never love me like you used to
There maybe other people like us
You see the flicker in the clip when they light up
Flamess just create us, burns dont heal like before.
You dont hold me anymore
On cold days Coldplay's out like the band's name
i know i cant heal things with a hand shake
you know i cant change as i began saying
you cut me wide open like landscape
oppent bottles of beer but never champagne
we'll applaud you with the sound that my hands make
Should i, should i?
Maybe i'll get drunk again
Maybe i'll get drunkg again
To feel a little love.
All by myself
i'm here again
all by myself
you know i'll never change
All by myself
I'm just drunk again
to feel a little love.
bferguson2, I love that book! That's a great song to go with the theme of the book.
ahowell5, that's such a great song! IS this the only song you've heard by him?
I decided to pick "How To Love" By Lil Wayne. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
You had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love
When you was just a young’un you’re looks but so precious
But now your grown up
So fly its like a blessing but you can’t have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It’s seems like you came back 10 times over
Now you’re sitting here in this dang corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love
You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn’t your fault
Wasn’t in your intentions
You the one here talking to me
You don’t wanna listen
But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin’
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don’t be mad
Nobody else trippin
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook
See You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
Oooh,
See I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
Yeah
And I want you to know, you’re far from the usual
Far from the usual
You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
The theme of this song is choose the right people you want to be with. Make the right choices in life or it will end badly for you. If you do you will end up with a great life.
cool song bfergusen2
cool song sbouge2
I wanted to comment on my Blog.
I picked that song because I have loved that song for a long time and it reminds me of my book Im reading. The theme of my book is that this guy really likes a girl but he could never have her.
bferguson2
I know, but its an amazing song!
sbogue2
Their is alot of other songs by Ron Pope but this was my favorite.
i decided to pick this song because i like ducks and lemonade. It is called the duck song, by Bryant Oden.
(Bum bum bum, ba-dum ba-dum)
A duck walked up to a lemonade stand
And he said to the man, running the stand
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
The man said
"No we just sell lemonade. But it’s cold
And it's fresh
And it’s all home-made. Can I get you
glass?"
The duck said,
“I’ll pass”.
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle)
then he waddled away
(waddle waddle waddle)
then he waddled away
(waddle waddle)
'Til the very next day.
(Bum bum bum bum BA-badum)
When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man running the stand,
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?
The man said,
"No, like I said yesterday
We just sell lemonade OK?
Why not give it a try?"
The duck said,
"Goodbye."good day
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away
(Waddle waddle)
'Til the very next day.
(Bum bum bum bum BA-Ba-dum)
When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man running the stand,
"Hey! (bum bum bum) Got any grapes?
The man said,
Look, this is getting old.
I mean, lemonade’s all we’ve ever sold.
Why not give it a go?"
The duck said,
“How 'bout, no.”
Then he waddled away
(Waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away
(Waddle waddle)
'Til the very next day.
(Bum bum bum bum BA-ba-dum)
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bryant-oden-lyrics/the-duck-song-lyrics.html ]
When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man running the stand,
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
The man said,
"THAT’S IT!
If you don’t stay away,duck,
I’ll glue you to a tree and leave you there all day, stuck
So don’t get to close!"
The duck said,
"Adios."
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away
(Waddle waddle)
'Til the very next day.
(Bum bum bum bum BA-BA-dum)
When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man,running the stand,
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) got any glue?"
"What"
"Got any glue?"
"No, why would I– oh!"
And one more question for you;
"Got any grapes?"
(Bum bum bum, bum bum bum)
And the man just stopped.
Then he started to smile.
He started to laugh.
He laughed for a while.
He said,
“Come on duck, let’s walk to the store.
I’ll buy you some grapes
So you won’t have to ask anymore.”
So they walked to the store
And the man bought some grapes.
He gave one to the duck and the duck said,
“Hmm..No thanks. But you know what sounds good?
It would make my day.
Do you think this store...
Do you think this store...
Do you think this store...has any… lemonade?”
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away.
(Waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away
(Waddle waddle)
I think that the theme is about friendship, because the duck wants some grapes. But the lemonade is all the guy sells. At the end the guy offers to buy him some Grapes. That is a friendly offer, and it is generous. Then the duck wants some lemonade instead. And the guty gets really mad agin.
I decided to pick the song "What makes You Beautiful" By One Direction.
You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or
Don't need make-up - to cover up
Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I could see
You'll understand why I want you so desperatley
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful!
So girl come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't know why, you're being shy
And turn away when I look in to your eye eye eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but yo-ou
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperatley
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful!
Na na na na na na naaaa na na,
Na na na na na na.
Na na na na na na naaaa na na,
Na na na na na na.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
No Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperatley
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
No Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
No Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
No Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful!
I think that the theme is always believe in yourself and keep your head high. In the song its saying she doesn't believe shes beautiful and the song is saying she is and don't let anyone tell you wrong. I like the beat to this song and the lyrics are very catchy. I also really like the band One Direction and I came across this song. Its one of my favorite songs and it can relate to everybody as a whole when they feel insecure.
ahowell5:
I love that song(:
@AStephens5
i love that song but my favorite by them is probably Moments.
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
and now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish,
pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
but now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baby,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
but still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
but it's in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baby,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,

And all the other boys,
try to chase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
at you baby,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life

So call me, maybe?
I chose the song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, this is my FAVORITE song. The theme of this song could be that you can like someone even if you don't know them that well. I think this is the theme because she has just met a boy, but she gives him her number. I love this song because it's fast beat and good! Google it, you'll love it (:

Mrs. A. Thomas: I LOVE THAT SONG MOM! It's really good. Wow, great minds think alike.
bferguson2: Wow, I love that song and Taylor Swift :)
Mrs.thomas nice song choice
emoody6
I have heard that song and really enjoy it, it is very moving.
I decided to pick this song because Jamie told me to, and i kind of like it I guess. It's called "A Drop In The Ocean" by Ron Pope.
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
I don't wanna waste the weekend,
If you don't love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it's time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't see what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting the regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don't see what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
nooo
nooo
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
You are my heaven
A theme for this song could be if you really like somebody dont let them go, because you'll regret it. You can tell when he says " I was praying that you and me might end up together." You bcan also tell when he says "Still I can't let you be,most nights I hardly sleep."
Another theme might be love conquers all and you can tell that when he says "But i'm holding you closer than most" This lets me know that the writer probably really misses somebody that he loved and that he regrets everythign that he did to let her go. Also you can tell by the tone that she is all he thinks about.
bferguson2
I love that song.

my song is party rock atheam the theme of this song is to have fun and party rock. i love this song because i love to have fun and i always listen to this song it never gets old!!!!!!!!!
I decided to pick a song that is inspiring to me. I went with "I Cry" by Tupac Shakur. The theme i got from the song is pain, the author was feeling alone and helpless. after reading the song it was sad and it made me think of life which is why i picked it.
Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.
ahowell5; it seems i cant get away from that song my sister plays it over and over. why did you chose this song.
sbogue2;i agree,and it dose have a cool beat you picked a really cool song.
I decided to pick a song called "Learning to be the light" by new world son.
When the stars came crashing down
In tiny pieces to the ground
I was all alone down here
Trapped beneath the atmosphere
Then I, thought somebody called my name
I spun around and caught a flame
I gave into a God I didn't know
And now everything is falling into place
A brand new life is calling and I owe it all to grace
It's so much brighter living in your world
Savior what you did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we sttumble and it all goes wrong
Only you can make it right
So I say
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
When a heart is cold as ice
You can't melt it with advice
No one wants to listen to
A list of things they shouldn't do
So I build a city on a hill
And I light a candle on the sill
Knowing you'll be always knocking at the door
Oh God I just want to love on everyone
All I have is yours to give so let the people come
It's so much brighter living in your world
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Savior what you did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we stumble and it all goes wrong
Only you can make it right
So I say
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
im learning to be the light
that makes the shadows hide
the light that breaks the curse of pride
the light that takes the weary in it's arms
When it all came crashing down
There was only darkness all around
But in the distance I could see
A Flame
It's So much brighter living in your world
Savior what you did for me
You gave me something I want everyone, and I mean everyone to see
When we stumble and it all goes wrong
Only you can make it right
So I say
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light
whoa, whoa
I'm learning to be the light!!
oops sorry the theme of my song is that you are never alone.
jdewitt,
that is a good song! i like it
bferguson2,
that's a great song!
I decide to pick my current favorite song "feeling good" by Nina Simone.
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
For me
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
I feel so good
I feel so good
The theme in this song is unarguably freedom. You hear "freedom is mine" many times, "its a new dawn" "its a new day". The song to me is very cool and classy sounding.
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
"set fire to thwe rain" by Adele Adkins. The theme of the song is even though you do good things you have somrthing bad in you. I like this song because it is like a romance but also a kind of rock song with hate. Her othe rsongs all involve romance but it is quick and makes you want to sing along.
bferguson2: I love that song.
spena6: Tghat is my 2nd favorite song by her.
The song I decided to pick for my blog is my old solo song Set Fire to the Rain by Adele.
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
[Chorus]
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.
[Chorus]
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!
Oh noooo
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
The theme of this song is that her relationship with a guy is coming to and end and all he has done is lie to her. As she gets to the end of the song, it says how she is finally over him.
bferguson 2,
I love that song!! I agree that it fits perfectly with the story the Hunger Games!
jdewitt6, me too :)
The song I choose was "Someone Like You" By: Adele. The theme of the song is that she did love this boy, but he moverd on so its time for her to move on also. I like this song because Adele is such a great singer to me i love listening to her. I also like her other songs which almost all relate to the same topic.
"Someone Like You"
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah
"Promise (English Version)"
(feat. Usher)
I've been walking the wire over your love
And I've fallen into your hands
But I don't know where I'll land
Your body holds me hostage whenever I touch you
I'm a prisoner inside, baby til' the end of time
Try to keep my balance but I still fall
But how'd I fell so hard right into your arms, I swear
Wrapped inside you baby and it's so warm (yeah yeah yeah)
But love without a cause leaves me trapped inside my own bars
Baby I want you I need you to love me completely
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine (talk to her Usher)
I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (Prometeme mami)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me), oh touch me (touch me)
Love me way past forever
(Hasta siempre, escucha las palabras de Romeo)
Yeah man, Usher baby, Romeo
I know I'm young and I'll give my life for you
And there is nothing that I wouldn't suffer to prove that it's true
(Don't doubt it baby)
I'm trying to be calm but my chest keeps pounding
Try to swim but it's like I'm drowning
All I've come for your love, oh baby
Baby I want you I need you to love me completely,
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine (Usher)
I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (Ay prometeme mami)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me), oh touch me (oh touch me),
Love me way past forever
You need this in your life (Yeah man)
Two kings (Revolutionary)
Hey Romeo, talk to her (OK)
Without you girl I would be barely breathing
I never would survive if you would leave me
But I realize yes
It's worth running the race
When the finish line is you
Baby I want you I need you pero tengo miedo
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine
If I give you my heart girl you got to promise
(Promise that you'll love me baby)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me), touch me (touch me)
Love me way past forever
Baby I want you I need you to love me forever
So promise me you'll never be anybody's but mine...
The theme of this song is that love is out there and always hold on to them.I like this song because its two of my favorite artist and I like to listen to love songs. The real version is in Spanish, I like the Spanish version better though. The main artist is Romeo Santos. He is Puerto Rican and Dominican. He is in a Spanish band called Aventura, but he now is going to solo songs and has a CD out.
anichols2, I love this song also
@ Spena6- I love that song, I can some how relate to it and Adele is very inspiring.
The song that I choose is What Makes you Beutiful by One Direction.
You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or
Don't need make-up - to cover up
Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I could see
You'll understand why I want you so desperatley
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful!
So girl come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't know why, you're being shy
And turn away when I look in to your eye eye eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but yo-ou
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/what-makes-you-beautiful-lyrics-one-direction.html ]
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperatley
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful!
Na na na na na na naaaa na na,
Na na na na na na.
Na na na na na na naaaa na na,
Na na na na na na.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
No Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperatley
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
No Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
No Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful!
No Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
The song is really catchy and I like it because Kendal played it for Mrs. Quint and since then it has been stuck in my head and catchy.
The theme is everyone is beutiful in there own way and you should never say your bnot beutiful. its describing a girl saying that she is so insecure for nothing.
drumore2
I really like that song and I agree that it is definetely all about having fun.
My Song Is I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.
Well you've done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and ___ you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing, we're just one big family
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and ___ you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
so please don't, please don't, please don't.
There's no need to complicate
'cause our time is short
This oh, this oh, this is our fate, I'm yours
The theme of this song would be The singer expressing his love for a girl and telling her he will be her's forever. I like this song because It's catchy and sends a good message. If you haven't heard of this song you should definetly check it out!
Jdiehl6, I agree that song is really catchy,and good job on describing the theme.
Bferguson2, Good choice for your song, Taylor Swift is such an amazing singer.
@athomas
thats a great song choice and its really funny
I picked Stop and Stare by Onerepublic.
This town is colder now, I think it’s sick of us
It’s time to make our move, I’m shakin’ off the rust
I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here
I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal
For the life I lead
Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare,
You start to wonder why you’re here not there,
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair,
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see?
They’re trying to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could
Steady feet, don’t fail me now
I’m gonna run till you can’t walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I’m standing down.
Stop and stare I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d do anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, you don’t need
What you need, what you need,
What you need
Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
I’ve become what I can’t be
Oh, do you see what I see?
One theme for this song would be that he’s afraid to move on. When I listen to this song, it seems that he’s frozen in time and he’s observing his simple life, so he tries to move on, but he’s afraid to. In the end, he succeeds. A real life example would be trying something new; whether it’s new foods, or different people.
Jdiehl6:
I love that song!! It flows together and sticks in your head all day!
Emoody6:
I hope your dad is doing okay, now! That song sounds catchy, and I will listen to it!
I have a lot of songs that i like, but this is one of my favorites. The theme of this song is that the world will be much better and brighter if you are not alone. The auther of this song says that love is the answer why we are here. And he is trying to say that love is the most important thing in the world. And with love it's always easier to live.
"Better Together" by Jack Johnson
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia tone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? and where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together
[Chorus:]
MMM its always better when we're together
Yeah, look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That theyll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now
Its always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together.
ejones6
I really love that song!
hpeel2

hpeel2

Come take my hand
I won't let you go
I'll be your friend
I will love you so deeply
I will be the one to kiss you at night
I will love you until the end of time
I will be your baby
Promise not to let you go
Love you like crazy
Say you'll never let me go (Repeat X4)
Take you away from here
There's nothing between us but space and time
I'll be your own little star
I'll be shining your world
In your own little universe
I'll be your girl
Come take my hand
I won't let you go
I'll be your friend
I will love you so deeply
I will be the one to kiss you at night
I will love you until the end of time
I will be your baby
Promise not to let you go
Love you like crazy
Say you'll never let me go (Repeat X4)
Baby, come on
Get up on this
Show me that you really want it
I wanna be the one to love you
Baby lets go (repeat x1)
I wanna provide
This loving that you're giving
I aint frontin' on this love
Can you you let me love you ? head to toe
Baby lets go
Boy come to me
Let me turn your rain into sun
You don't have to worry
I Promise I'll set your heart free
Let my love run to your soul
You go

That's all she wrote
(Say you'll
Say say

I will be the one to kiss you at night
I will love you until the end of time
I will be your baby
Promise not to let you go
Love you like crazy
Say you'll never let me go (Repeat X4)
The song I chose was End of Time by Beyonce. The theme of the song is love conquers all. I like this song because she explains love so well. For example,when she says "I won't let you go,I'll be your friend, I will love you so deeply." I also like the song because she seems so excited that she has found love. Lastly I like the song because of the beat and it is really fun to dance to
Dbenjamin6,
I really enjoy listening to that song also
Sbogue2,
That is one of my favorite songs also
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
The angry boy, a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well, everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
And well, he's on the table
And he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today we can put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in and if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
The song I did was Jumper by Third Eye Blind.
Its about facing hard times and learning to put away things in the past. Its about someone committing suicide. The song artist probably had a friend who was was having a hard time and he made the song to show them they will get through.
TMartinez5,
I think iv heard that song!
wlawrence6,
Haha you would pick this song..(;
I picked the song Beautiful People by, Chris Brown. The theme is everyone is beautiful in some way. I like the beat to the song. My sister introduced me into this song a few months ago. Ever since then it has not got old.
Everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere I go
Everywhere that I’ve been
The only thing I see is
Is beautiful people
Beautiful people
Beautiful people
Beautiful people
Don’t you know don’t you know
You’re beautiful don’t you know
Don’t you know don’t you know
Beautiful don’t you know know know
Live your life live your life
Let the love inside
It’s your life, it’s your life
Got to let it ride
Take your time take your time
Take your sexy time
Don't lose your head lose your head
Your beauty's deep inside.
Inside you.
Don't let 'em bring you down, no!
Your beauty is inside... you.
Don't let 'em bring you down, no!
Your beautys inside you
Don’t let ‘em bring you down no
The beauty is inside you
Don’t let ‘em bring you down
Cause you start your life today

Everywhere, everywhere

Beautiful people
Live your life, live your life,
Let the love inside
It’s your life, it’s your life
Beautiful people
@drumore2 My cousin loves Party Rock.
@wlawerence6 Very intresting song choice.
I decided to pick Unstoppable by Rascal Flatts.
So, so you made a lot of mistakes Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall
Yeah, you've had a pocket full of regrets
Pull you down faster than a sunset Hey, it happens to us all
When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does Love is unstoppable
Love, it can weather any storm Bring you back to being born again oh, it's a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shinning on the coast That never goes dim
When your heart is full of doubt And you think that there's no way out
Like a river keeps on rolling
Love is unstoppable
So you made a lot of mistakes Walked down the road a little sideways
Love, love is unstoppable
I think that the theme of this song is that even when you think that you can't go on, and that "you can do what you think is impossible". There is always someone who can give you a hand. At first, I just liked this song because it had a catchy tune. Now that I understand what the words are saying and meaning. It is a really encouraging song.
Amanibusan6, I really like that song! It has a really catchy tune.
Bferguson2, I am so excited for The Hunger Games to come out! Only 5 more days!
I picked "Lonely Lullaby" by Owl City because it's a truely beautiful song, even if it expresses his loneliness.
Symphony of silver tears,
Sing to me and sooth the ring in my ears,
Overcast these gloomy nights wear on,
But I'm holding fast because it's darkest just before the dawn.
I sang my princess fast asleep,
'Cause she was my dream come true,
Oh Annmarie, believe me, I loved you.
But now those lonely lullabies,
Just dampen my tired eyes,
Because I can't forget you.
Because I can't forget you.
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in,
When the nightmares take me,
I will scream with the howling wind,
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream.
Dizzy love turned a star lily pink,
And hung above our lids too flushed to blink,
But icy blue froze the fairytale cold,
Though I treasured you and you sparkled with someone to hold.
I sang my princess fast asleep,
'Cause she was my dream come true,
Oh Annmarie, believe me, I loved you.
But now those lonely lullabies,
Just dampen my tired eyes,
Because I can't forget you.
Because I can't forget you.
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in,
When the nightmares take me,
I will scream with the howling wind,
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream.
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in,
When the nightmares take me,
I will scream with the howling wind,
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream.
And I'd rather dream.
Annmarie, I'll never forget you.
Annmarie, I'll never forget you.
Annmarie, remember me?
I'll never forget you.
Annmarie, remember me?
I'll never forget you.
Annmarie, remember me?
I'll never forget you.
This song, and the majority of Owl City's songs, just take to my own paradise. The lyrics easily slip a visual into my mind, while the techno touches and electronic sides create a great beat. This song imparticular takes me directly to the brisk winds and salty air of the ocean. Maybe it was because I listened to this song non-stop while I was at the beach for vacation, but it's entire soul of a song screams "water" to me. Even though it's supposed to be a 'lonely lullaby', it's very upbeat and happy- most of the time. It's his reminisce of his and Ann Marie's time together- even though it's in the past.
dbenjamin6, I agree, with how you interpereted the song and what the song is portraying. Also, I find it awesome that a song can portray a message so deep, but be so catchy and fun to listen to at the same time.
ejones6, I agree that the theme of the song is to have fun and "you only live once". But, I don't understand why you say that you can't have fun when you're older. Yes, when you're older you have more responsibilities, but what's going to keep you from having fun with life?
We are young by Fun
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friend's are in the bathroom getting higher than the empire state
My lover he is waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
Though holes in my apologies
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived but I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
We are young
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
The theme is to live your life to the fullest because when you are old you will have not enough fun
I like this song because it has a good chorus and the lyrics are very good too.
@Bfergenson2 i like that song.
@sbouge2 i did that song too and i liked it.
Paradise by Cold Play -
I like the songs repetition and think that the words fit along well with its repetition. The song is about a man who finds a woman to be his " Paradise ." This song is sung by mainly one person. I love to listen to this group because of the great beats and flows to the song.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
lalalalalalalalalalala
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by m'self
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
Don't try to take me to a Disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll
(Chorus)
Still like that old time rock and roll
The kinda music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
Won't go to hear 'em play a Tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playin' old time rock and roll
Call me a relic call me what'cha will
Say I'm old fashioned say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Still like that old time rock and roll.
The title of the song is "Old time of Rock and Roll". The artist is Bob Seger.I like this song because it is catchy. Also it has a easy rhyme scheme. The theme is bring back the old of rock and roll because the music today has no soul.
Mrs. A. Thomas, I have never heard that song before! but it seems ok.
bferguson2, that song sounds soothing. Never heard of it.
I picked the song "Antarctica" by Hands Like Houses.
Father, we fled your house of grey.
We ran from home to seek a place where our bodies would never grow.
Dreamer, child, be cautious of this world!
She has an appetite for boys and girls and she’s hungry for your soul.
Little boys with dreams of paper planes were never meant to scrape the sky!
Keep your feet on the ground kid, only birds were meant to fly.
Keep your head from the clouds kid, keep your wings,
Always keep them by your side.
Before you fly, you’ll fall,
Before you walk, you’ll crawl….
You’ve no need to stitch your shadow to your heels,
No, not this time.
Son you’ll walk with no whisper, no sound,
Only the feet of the heavy hearted are held to the ground.
You’ve no need to draw the curtains son, throw them wide.
Cross the borders between the never and the night.
Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on ‘til morning,
Past the second star to the right.
We’ll be the smoke curling on the still.
The airship captains; we wait for sun to brush the hills.
Son, I share your windward dreams,
To soar from this little town of shacked up windows and swinging doors!
The rafters creak and the floorboards groan
While the shadows dance to the tapping of my toes.
There’s nothing left for us but altitude,
We’ll be the kings of the air.
Stolen, by the wind that turns the leaves to razors.
Holding just a string, our twine and our paper lost to the breeze.
@everyone
my music differs so much from you guys. xD
@sbogue2
Great song.
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
[Travie McCoy:]
Gym Class Heroes baby!
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like yea fucked up, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
[Chorus:]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo
[Travie McCoy:]
Let's go!
If I was an old-school fifty pound boombox (remember them?)
Would you hold me on your shoulder wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops (turn it up)
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like on the interstate
I think I finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
[Chorus:]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo
[Bridge:]
I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
I take your head and hold it closer to mine (yeah)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing (yeah) my mind (come on whoa)
[Chorus:]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo (it's your boy Travie)
Oh oh oh oh (Gym Class Heroes baby!) so sing along to my stereo
I like it becasue hear it a lot on the radio. The theme of my song is love. The song is by gym class heroes. It has Adam levene, travie mocoy,and two other guys.
bferguson2
my sister loves that song
@Abeatty5 theirs some inappropriate words in your song
sbogue2
thats an amazing song :D
I decided to pick I song I usually enjoy when ever I have nothing to do. You all might hear this often when you listen to your radios, I decided to choose the "Thanks for the Memories" by Fall Out Boy because it helps describe a feeling that you will sometimes meet someone who you wished you never met all the time, like a bully or a poser.
I'm gonna make you bend and break
(It sent you to me without wings)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)
And I want these words to make things right
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got
Better put your fingers back to the keys
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for (except for)
When you look into the past (look into the past)
One night stand (one night stand off)
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
One night and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
The theme in this song is usually someone standing in the way of what your dreams are to be, like someone you know or someone you hate is going to interfere with your life. Its not fake nor copied from a poem but is coming for what he wants out of his mind.
My favorite song is Someone Like you by Adele. This song has such a power and powerful theme. It's basically saying that even if your relationship with on person is over doesn't mean that you won't fine someone else. My favorite part is the chorus when she says, "Never mind I'll find some one like you." I think this is such a popular song because it relates to so many people at different ages.
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah
bferguson2,
I can't wait for The Hunger Games!!!
Spena6,
That song is so good! Its my favorite to.
I chose "Rollong in the Deep" by Adele.
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind you of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
Could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep
(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
You had my heart and soul
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
And you played it to the beat
(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
Could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Rolling in the deep
(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)
You had my heart and soul in your hand
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
But you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat
I think the theme of this song is that you can't be expected to be left alone and safe after playing with one's love and leaving. I think the line "Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare"
threatens the person to do what he was goning to do and he gets her wrath. I like this song because I like the rythmes and the melodies of it. Also, I don't get tired of hearing it even after listening to it several times. I still listen to it on the radio.
eMoody6, the name of your song's artist is kind of odd.
Spena6, I think I've heard that song before.
The song is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. This was a difficult song to find the theme in, but it's one
of my favorites.I think the author was trying to say he felt like he realized that life does matter. In the beginning he said nothing mattered. As the song went on, he killed someone and was facing regret and fear. He is running to save himself, and if nothing really mattered he wouldn't be running and asking for help. I like the song, because it changes its rhythm into so many different pitch.
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to
me, to me
Mama,
I just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger
now he's dead
Mama... life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mamaaaaa oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all
the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Got to leave you all behind and face the truth
Mamaaaaa oooh,
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
(Guitar solo)
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche! Scaramouche! will you do the
Fandango?!
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening
me!
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro - magnifico
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity!
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismilah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismilah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismilah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) Never let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
So you think you can stop me and spit in my
eye?!?!
So you think you can love me and leave me to
die?!?!
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta
here!
(Guitar solo)
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me...
Any way the wind blows...
Hurry up and come back
Was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet of a gun
And now her little boy is gone She said
HELP ME
Lord HELP ME
And she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two
So the street side kids at the shopping mall
Was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do
And he didn't have a mom or dad
To help him get threw He said
HELP ME
FATHER HELP ME
And he looked up to the sky
And he heard a voice reply When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
It was early Sunday morning
Mi get up and watch the news
Mi hear she Friday inna Seaview dem kill a yute
Then mamma tell me seh her church sister Jaquline
Just loose her brother over Seaview Gardens
When she tell me
Jah Jah know it mash mi up
Naah go tell no lie
But you know man a thuggy
So you naw go see me cry
Everyday and everynight she still ask the Father
Why her brother had to die
She heard a voice reply
I decided to pick a song that I have recently started liking extremely called "Part of me" by Katy Perry.
Lyrics:
Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out Like I was poison in your mouth You took my light, you drained me down
That was then and this is now
Now look at me
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and stones
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
'Cause you ripped me off, your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep and you let me drown
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and stones
Throw your bombs and your blows But you're not gonna break my soul This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Now look at me, I'm sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I'm glowing, oh woah oh
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything
Yeah, yeah
Except for me
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no (away from me)
Throw your sticks and stones
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me, no, (away from me)
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, no
Throw your sticks and stones
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
The theme of this song is that no matter what people do to the person singing this song they are going to remain themselves and not change for anyone at all. I like this song mainly because of the theme of it, and also because of the melody of it. Also, you can kind of tell that in the song she is telling someone off for treating her badly and I respect that.
lrichey6, I really like that song :) Have you heard the parody by Cimorelli?
Khaldeman2, I love that song! It is definitely one of my favorite songs, I know every word to it! :)
My song is called If today was your last day by Nickelback. The theme of this song is: don't take your time for granted. This song can be found at www.elyrics.net. I like this song because it sounds great and the words are meaningful.
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/n/nickelback-lyrics/if-today-was-your-last-day-lyrics.html]
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
Color on the Walls (Don't Stop) by Foster the People:
Walk little walk
Small talk big thoughts
Gonna tell them all just what I want
That street two streets I see you and me
Hanging on the empty swings
Count high low don't worry my eyes are closed
I'm a superman and it's my show
One shoe two
Gonna kick with my new shoes
I'm going to kick until I need new shoes
Yeah, yeah
I said uh-don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Talkin' to me
Stop, don't stop, don't stop
Giving me things
I run they run everybody run run
And we're all just having fun
Sleigh ride boat ride piggy back ride
I'm going to show them all how I can ride
One two three close your eyes and count to four
I'm gonna (I'd like) to hide behind my bedroom door
Crayons on walls
I'll color on them all
I'll draw until I've broken every law
I think the theme of this song is to never stop forgetting old memories or creating new ones. I like this song, because everyone loves creating memories. People also like having the memories in their head. They can look back on when they happened, as well as where they happened. They can imagine these things in their head, and that is what the song is about, remembering your memories. He says: "That street two streets I see you and me
Hanging on the empty swings," but they're not actually there, it is in his head.
bhoffmann2;
I don't think i've heard that song yet, i might listen to it.
sbogue2;
That's the song on that one car commercial, right?
My favorite song is almost home by craig morgan because he is inspiring and makes me want to sing.
Song: Almost Home
Album: I Love It
He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing "5 below
It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said,"Old man are you ok?"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."
Then he said,"I was just comin' round the barn"
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been
"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said,"old man you're gonna freeze to death"
Let me drive you to the mission
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
"Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home..."
The theme is live every day like it is your last and never give up and to be kind. This song is one of those songs that makes you want to help people.
@bferguson2 that is a great song!
You Belong with Me
By Taylor Swift
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
The theme of the song would be if someone is being mean to you, don't be their boyfriend/girlfriend. I like this because it has a really catchy tune and I like the lyrics. It proves a really good point about love. It is kind of like a "Romeo and Juliet" kind of song. It's about a boy that is in love with a girl but doesn't even realize it.
@sbogue2 i really think that is a good song.
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go?
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
Have you ever had the feelin' that you was bein' had?
Don't that - there make you mad? They treat you like a slave
Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back
They be lyin' through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path
I don't switch up, I just laugh, put my kicks up on they desk
Unaffected by they threats, then get busy on they -
See, that's how that Chi-Town made me, that's how my daddy raised me
That glitterin' may not be gold, don't let nobody play me
If you are my homeboy, you'll never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up when times is hard, you stand up
L-U-P the man, 'cause the brand that the fans trust
So even if they ban us, they'll never slow my plans up
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
One in the air for the people ain't here
Two in the air for the father that's there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids that don't wanna be there
None for the - tryin' to hold them back
Five in the air for the teachers not scared
To tell those kids that's livin' in the ghetto
That the - holdin' back that the world is theirs
Yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boy
Terrified of the world, now I'm on a world tour
I will give up everything even start a world war
For these ghetto girls and boys, I'm rappin' 'round the world for
Africa to New York, Haiti, then I detour
Oakland out to Auckland, Gaza Strip to Detroit
Say hip hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boy
I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a D-boy
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
So no matter what you been through, no matter what you into
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher
Raise 'em 'til your arms tired let 'em know you here
That you struggling, survivin', that you gon' persevere
Yeah, ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' home
Even if they turn the lights out, the show is goin' on
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
Alright, already, the show goes on
All night 'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
This song has multiples themes But, I think the theme is that no matter were you come from you can always be some one. what I like about this song is it encourages kids all over the world no matter what to always keep trying.
