Lyrics that make you think "Yes!..."

[IntelligentInputDarling]

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 ❤️ 🎵

This made me smile. My gran was in her late 70s when this came out and she absolutely loved this song

Yes! This song. I remember a deep sadness and loneliness in my early 20s. I walked for literally 10 miles in the rain. And this song reminds me of that night

I’m free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose and I’ll sing the blues if I want
I’m free to say whatever I
Whatever I like if it’s wrong or right, it’s alright ❤️

When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going

We were something, don't you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

35 years of marriage in one song

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you

some people hope for a miracle cure
some people just accept the world as it is
but I'm not willing to lay down and die

Gives me tingles:

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday
Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming
You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath
Nightswimming

This reminds me of my teenage years so much it’s almost painful.

Yes yes yes

I don’t want control
I want to let go.

Pink, What About Us?

This line inspires me to shake up my conventional life and have fun. To break free and regain that energy of youth.

we can't deny the ties that bind
tonight we're going to sing out: tonight our light will shine
this is the time and place
to bring out our memories
it's written in every face
I can see it in you
you can see it in me
In all the years we had
(When we were young we used to sing)
As part of a family tree
(We could feel the harmony)
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me

My cousin, who had no time for melancholy, chose a Bon Jovi song for the exit music for her funeral.

Have you ever been to a Pearl Jam concert? Everybody belts this out at the top of their voices and sings, “duh duh-duh duh duh duh-duh” for as long as Eddie Vedder lets them. The angst! The memory of being a teenager/early twenties again!

You can speak your mind
but not on my time

Billy Joel, My Life

Labour

All day, every day
Therapist
Mother , maid
nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant
ITS NOT AN ACT OF LOVE IF YOU MAKE HER

What song is that ? I can hear it but can’t think of the title ?

Silence like a cancer grows

So powerful from the Sound of Silence

"We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone

Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall"

Yes by McAlmont and Butler

What a great thread!!!!!

So, so many but this one...
(Thank you jannis Ian!)

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth

[Chorus]
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say, "Come dance with me"
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen

‘Yes’ McAlmont & Butler

My DD loves that song.
It makes me think she'll be ok after I'm not here to fight for her!

This, belted out top volume!

Oh, I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true, I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
'Cause I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
'Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you'll need me then
'Cause I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
Ah, I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
'Cause you don't even care about what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there, there's just no room for me, yeah
'Cause I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
'Cause you don't even care about what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room there for me
'Cause I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover (now that I know)
I just need a prayer (now that I know)
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
Now that I know (now that I know), yeah
Now that I know (now that I know)
Yeah, I know it wasn't love (wasn't love)
No, it wasn't love (no, no, no)

Olivia Newton Johns “Don’t stop beleivin’”

You think the world should see things your way
Love, I know you, you think good fortune's here to stay
Love, I know you shined in everything you tried before
Your smile can open any door
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stony ground
Don't stop believin', don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin', you'll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by
You never chase your dreams, they find you
Love, I know you, if you need love, it finds you too
Love, although you sail alone and free
I'll follow in your wake
And pray one day my heart you'll take
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stony ground
Don't stop believin', don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin', you'll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by
