And the pain continues.
After that epic post of cheese I thought I should share my very favourite songs with you! I dont have one favourite song…i have a small list. These songs have stood the test of time and i can listen to over and over non-stop and not get sick of them!
sadly not all have videos so i have uploaded them all on box.net and will share a vid if there is one.
These are in no particular order
Superior ~ Polaroid Millenium
This one may get me a lot of hits on my site because people are always looking for it to download. It was on the soundtrack for the Saint and I have loved it ever since I first heard it.
Actually anyone else who loves it – can you tell me what you think she says at the end of the line that goes “have i learned to walk too soon, is it time to ……..” – i have been trying to decipher what the fuck she says for 10 fricking years!
celluloid, monochrome or colour / dont want to end in tears
i’ll leave before my fears confirmed / scared to learn
wasted knowledge / I’ll give to the grave
these four wall are lost forever
i could never be that clever
Wendy Matthews ~ Beloved
Sung from the point of view of a ghost. I bought the single when it came out and everything! haha yeah i love it!
all I feel, all I am now / is this love I have for you
each night it’s you / you I lay besideclose my eyes, never to sleep
i tell you all the things I should have said
But you’ll never know
how could I act such a part
as to love the one who breaks my heart
I had to go …
Malcolm McLaren ~ Madam Butterfly
Great combo of opera stuff and pop delciousness. I dont know why I love it so much but I do! though i hate the bit where the guys is talking…urgh!
Who on earth can it be
Coming up the path for me?
What on earth will he say?
Shall I run to him or run away?Freaking out he’s come to get me
My feet are stuck but just won’t let me
Run to him do I dare?
Madam Butterfly don’t blow it
Lisa Germano ~ Puppet
I shared the video a few posts back. First song I heard by her and still probably my fave (only two songs come close to being loved as much).
put me here or put me there / do i feel better now?
used to have a fit or two / but now i only smile
’cause when i am a puppet / we get along just fine
and maybe for a while / we could play together
and when i am a puppet / and i have no voice
and maybe in your hands / i could just right
Sarah McLachlan ~ Full of Grace
Yes – blame Buffy. End of Season 2 of Buffy – still one of the most amazing things I have ever watched on tv. my heart totally broke. And introduced me to this gorgeous song. Thanks Joss and co!
it’s better this way, i said
having seen this place before
where everything we said and did
hurts us all the more
its just that we stayed, too long
in the same old sickly skin
i’m pulled down by the undertow
i never thought i could feel so low
oh darkness i feel like letting go
if all of the strength and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
i know i could love you much better than this
full of grace
Garbage ~ Cup of Coffee
I first heard OF this song (not actually listened to it) from a Harry Potter fanfic…I am pretty sure it was Draco/Ginny one, but I also read a Draco/Harry one sometime later and they were both good.
Anyways the first one I read made me interested in the song and as I hadnt yet bought that garbage album at that time – well i HAD TO GET IT! The song is fantastic…..oh – its a break up song. Most of my faves are kinda depressing eh?
Man it was a bitch to choose a lyric so you got a big chunk!
you tell me you dont love me over a cup of coffee
and i just have to look away
a million miles between us / planets crashing to dust
i just let it fade awayi’m walking empty streets hoping we might meet
i see your car parked on the road
the light on at your window / i know for sure that youre home
but i just have to pass on byso no of course we cant be friends
not while i’m still this obsessed
i guess i always knew the score
this is how our story ends
Hyde ~ Shallow Sleep (english version)
First up this ISNT the english ensemble version which is slower – this is the version on the International version of ROentgen which has the music the same as the original – just the english lyrics instead of japanese. and damn its gorgeous! i love it so much!
i just saw you
a moment far too brief / before the daylight came
but my heart is beating fast / perhaps we’ll meet againin a shallow sleep i dreamt i was seeing you
just how I remembered brimming with tenderness
and somewhere in the calm of feeling that nothing had ever changed
your presence close beside me till I wake
These next two are in japanese and there are english translatiosn for them but they just dont give you the same feeling…box.net lets you play the songs from the browser before downloading so have a listen and see if it appeals.
Gackt ~ Cube
This song is WITHOUT doubt THE BEST THING he has ever done! It blows me away. Its bloody fantastic.
I wanna get a room with awesome accoustics and a surround sound thing and then play this song at full bawl and i wanna feel it in MY BONES MAN!!!!!!!!!!! listening to this song quietly only hints at its brilliance. HOLY GOD I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway – here is a Youtube vid of it being performed live….stays pretty close to the original which is good! (oh and it does have english subs on it for you to read if you really wanna know what he is saying)
BONNIE PINK ~ Last Kiss
the single MOST played song on my iTunes (4240 plays since May of 2005). Its just beautiful. Damn i wasnt going to include a lyric but I just love the end bit…..
Yaseta yubi ni kisu wo shite naita anata wo omoidasu yo
Kore de owari da to shitemo
Saigo no kisu wa wasurenai yo wasurenai yo wasurenai yo
Kare no kisu wo wasurenai yoenglish
I remember how you cried as you kissed my slim fingers
Even if this is the end
I won’t forget our last kiss , i won’t forget, i won’t forget
I won’t forget his kiss
see totally loses the impact in english – but when she is belting out the ‘wasurenai yo’s it just kills me dead! so saaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I always have temporary favorites but those songs i have loved for years and am still listening to and will invariably make it on most temporary playlists i make on iTunes or my ipod. LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
