Clunky title right 😅

I'm listening to The Boss 'Dancing in the Dark' and
"You can't start a fire,
you can't start a fire without a spark"
just gets me.

Bloody love this song ❤️ 🎵

Yes I do feel better (yes I do)
I feel alright
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you’ve got to offer

hits home for me anyway!

Love My Life by Robbie Williams....
"Tether your soul to me
I will never let go completely
One day your hands will be
Strong enough to hold me
I might not be there for all your battles
But you'll win them eventually
I pray that I'm giving you all that matters
So one day you'll say to me
I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life
I am not my mistakes
And God knows, I've made a few
I started to question the angels
And the answer they gave was you
I cannot promise there won't be sadness
I wish I could take it from you
But you'll find the courage to face the madness
And sing it because it's true
I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life
Find the others
With hearts
Like yours
Run far, run free
I'm with you
I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life
And finally
I'm where I want to be"

Sums up being a Mum for me!! 💕 💕 💕

Taylor swift, I can do it with a broken heart, for me it perfectly explains the anxiety I have felt during my life
‘Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it" and I did
Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die
You know you're good when you can even do it
With a broken heart
You know you're good, I'm good
'Cause I'm miserable
And nobody even knows
Try and come for my job
my first choice would have been the lyrics quoted byNooNakwdJacuzziness, great song thanks for reminding me by posting.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

The verses from Katy Perry's Firework.

I'm not actually a huge fan of the song but my daughter has been learning the lyrics for a school performance and the verses have really resonated with how I'm feeling currently. Sung in a tiny litte voice I've been on the edge of tears a few times.

So many of Springsteen's lyrics - so happy you quoted that one, OP!

Tuesday just might go my way
Can't get worse than yesterday
Thursday, Friday ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey man I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice
Feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night.

Someday I'll be Saturday night by Bon Jovi. This song got me through some exceptionally dark ( think pitch black) times in my life.

BogRollBOGOF · 04/05/2025 14:48

Baker Street once had me in tears on the way to work during a rough phase.

"You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now"

It got better a few months better.

RightOnTheEdge · 04/05/2025 15:04

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get, I get what I want
Since you been gone

About you, no, I don't give a damn
You keep reminiscin' on when you were my man
But I'm over you, now you're all in the past
You talk all that sweet talk, but I ain't comin' back
Cut you off, I don't need your love
So you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why
You say you're sorry, but it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
(Too late now)
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
(Boy, I don't give a-)

Absolutely love blasting these two songs out in my car!

Dontcallmescarface · 04/05/2025 15:12

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow

Tomorrow - James

‘Maybe you’re the same as me, we see things they’ll never see….. you and I are gonna live forever’

‘Breathe out
So I can breathe you in.’

Just love those lyrics

MiloMinderbinder925 · 04/05/2025 15:26

You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good, just can't function no more

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
About nothing and everything, all at once
(Greenday)

I love that line, it sums up so many interactions!

JayJayy · 04/05/2025 15:32

So many. But at the moment Bon Jovi it’s my life is a bit apt.

it’s my life and it’s now or never
i ain’t gonna live forever
i just want to live when I’m alive.

treeslakesmountains · 04/05/2025 15:41

So now we see how it is
The fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness

Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness

NewBinBag · 04/05/2025 15:45

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

The Chicks & Kelly Clarkson are 🔥 if you're pissed off.

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face

EveryKneeShallBow · 04/05/2025 15:56

Yes, I am wise but it’s wisdom born of pain,
Yes, I’ve paid the price, but look how much I’ve gained;
if I have to, I can do anything.
I am strong!
I am invincible!
I am Woman! ✊

OggyBunsen · 04/05/2025 20:52

You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright that you can only wonder why

There's something about the way Jarvis Cocker sings those lines that gets me. To me, it sums up so much about how people with different upbringings do not understand each other.

I’ve loved this song for so long. He sings it gently, but it’s so powerful.

I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

Best lyrics / words of wisdom, EVER !!

Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Just move on up towards your destination
Though you may find from time to time complications
Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip
Just move on up for peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing
Take nothing less than the supreme best
Do not obey rumors people say 'cause you can past the test
Just move on up to a greater day
With just a little faith
If you put your mind to it, you can surely do it

CowboyFromHell · 04/05/2025 21:23

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine

Black - Pearl Jam
