Music To Our Ears

Hey guys i have noticed that AYWF is dying down a bit, i know i have not been on this in a while mainly because i havent had much to write about or it has already been resolved.

I have found something to write about and it is going to involve you all who pay attention to AYWF. I dont know how many people have noticed but music actually plays a huge part in peoples lives.

The songs we listen to are usually how we feel at the present time, e.g. parties - dance music. I absolutly love music and im into a wide variety, and i know that most people here value and rate music in there life quite highly.

Basically my point to writing this is because i read lyrics to songs i like and i like to sing along when im alone and feel like singing a bit. I want you to sumbit curtain lyrics to a curtain song you love, and that may have meaning in your life. I want you to post a comment telling me the lyric that has a curtain importance to you and why.

You dont have to, im not forcing you i just thought we could get an idea of the type of lyrics you guys like and how it has become important to you.

I will start us off.

Band: Cauterize
Song: Choke

When the last word's been said and the last tear's been shed,
I will miss you, miss you my friend.
And I can't tell you lies.
Even after all these years I still cry.

What it means to me: This has a distinct meaning to me and although i do not listen to the song often its meaning still stands. This is to do with my brother who i did not know for very long as he died about 9 weeks after he was born. The fact that i did not have the chance to know him as well as i wanted to, he showed me something without having to spell it out in words. He showed me that you should always fight to live, He fought against the odds to last as long as he did, with all the physical problems he faced he was still able to teach me something. For that im thankful and it is something i will never forget for as long as i live.

wow, very deep and a great idea for a blog.

well for me:
the first ever anberlin song i heard, which probably declared my love for them haha impacted me because someone and written exactly what i wanted to say, and how i wanted to live

"its not about the money we make,
its about the passions that we ache for,
what makes your heart beat faster,
tell me now what does your body long after?"

sweet idea. i would have to say the u2 song acrobat has had an incredible impact on me, because it says exactly what i live every day. i am a recovering bulimic, and a searching, rebelious sort of christian.

don't believe what you hear
don't believe what you see
if you just close your eyes
you can feel the enemy
when i first met you girl
you had fire in your soul
what happened to your face
of melting snow?
now it looks like this!
and you can swallow
or you can spit
you can throw it up
or choke on it
and you can dream so dream out loud
you know that your time is
coming round
so don't let the bastards grind you down
now nothing makes sense
nothing seems to fit
i know you'd hit out
if you only knew who to hit
and i'd join the movement
if there was one i could believe in
yeah i'd break bread and wine
if there was a church i could recieve in cos i need it now
to fill the cup
to chew it up
to drink it slow
i can't let you go
and i must be an acrobat
to talk like this
and act like that
and you can dream
so dream out loud
you know that the tide is turning round so don't let the bastards grind you down

nice idea for a blog!!!!

song.. there's so many.. lol a song that has had a definite impact... I'll say today Monday Comes Around by Switchfoot
I am quite.. torn up about decisions I've made... things I have done.. sometimes. The song basically related my lifeback to me the first time I heard it. Now It holds out more hope... "What you gonna do now, when Monday omes around?"
Almost makes me invigorated.. I want to change things for the better, I want to make a difference.. I may have done some dodgy things.. but I can change it. Even if I fail... gotta keep on.. keeping on!
Otrher days.. it's like my conscience is singing it back to me.
It's a struggle in mind and heart.


"She's a girl who's been talking to herself to apologise,
She'd never do it again she promised,
But then she hasn't been all that honest,
Can she trust herself to be herself...?
Or is she talking to herself again?
...
Monday comes, wondering where do you run to find a second start?
Where do you go when you're broke and alone and Friday falls apart?
All these questions are leaving her shaking
Can you be two girls in one?
Can your heart bend this much without breaking?
You know that you know and you can never have it both ways"
