Thereare some songs that can make a killing with their lyrics. They might not always be great song, but the lyrics can certainly punch.
I’m sure there are some more to add, or I miss out. And sorry if my songs vocabulary is not up to date. I have been deprived from radio from more than a year now, in return of natural music of monkey swearing every morning. Not everyone gets what I mean. ;p
Most romantic.
I didn’t really pay attention to this song until I took time to listen to the lyrics. She Will Be Loved by Maroon Five probably one of the most romantic thing someone can do to another.
Always there to help her. Always belong to someone else. Drive miles and miles up your door. Spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for a girl with the broken smile. I want to make you feel beautiful. She will be loved.
Most of the complains that my gender voice out is the lack of attention of the other gender, or men who take up good thing without wanting to deal with the whole package. Man who absorbs happy times and leaves you to cry when dealing with sorrow. Or those who hanging around when you are in your best and pretty. Or when the love gone before the wind change direction. Or they take the best and leave, or they only amused when you dress up and scream high up the neck when see you in messy wake up condition.
The guy in the song does all the reverse. Of course, it’s in a song. He seeks to be with her to accompany her in the worst time, to pick up her broken pieces and make her smile and feel beautiful again, while she is not even his. It’s sort of like someone who only got the shits and loves her unconditionally. How rare would it be?
That is why I voted it as the most romantic song without all the mushy pukey words.
Most Heartbroken.
I can't make you love me - George Michael
Lack of word is what it should be. This is the most heart breaking of all the heart broken songs. The melody is so sad that you feel like poking something in the eye, it hurts. Not to mention the lyrics.
Broken hearted can be resulted from one sided love or when your loved one loves someone else or doesn’t love you, whether he/she with you. That’s the recipe for a disastrous night, so turn on the music and be miserable. Different from typical whinny why oh why type of broken heart song, this one is almost speechless.
Just hold me close, don’t patronize me. Tell me no lies. Turn off this voices inside my head. I’ll close my eyes, then I don’t see, the love you don’t feel when you’re holding me.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'cause I can't make you love me, if you don't...
Ah. How reality is pain. Say no more. One sentence kills it all.
Mourning song, because human are mortal.
To Where You Are - Josh Groban
I think no one can beat this.
Are you gently sleeping here inside my dream? As my heart holds you, just one beat away. A breath away is not far from where you are.
The most male chauvinist song.
Please Release Me - Engelbert Humperdinck
This is old song that makes me roll my eyes everytime I hear it.
Please release me let me go, for I don’t love anymore. Her lips are warm while yours are cold.
Bloooothy hell.
So close yet so far.
Always like this one, it nails it.
Almost Here - Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem
Shadows bleeding through the light, where the love once shined so bright
Love's not always black and white, haven't I always loved you?
When I need you, you’re almost here, and I know that’s not enough. When I’m with you, I’m close to tear, cause I know that you’re almost here.
The song that commands headlines in newspaper, and why history never changes.
Six Days - DJ Shadow
It has been used irrelevantly as Tokyo Drift soundtrack, the beats match, but the lyrics definitely belong to deeper world.
Leader starts to frown, it’s sword and gun day.
You never thought we'd go to war, After all the things we saw, It's April Fools' day.
You hear a whistling overhead, Are you alive or are you dead?
You feel a shaking on the ground, A billion candles burn around,Is it your birthday?
Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late.
Half going crazy song.
Anxiety - Black Eyed Pea
I really like how they put it. It’s a good frustration song when you need some voices to yell in your head.
Got my brain stuck going through the motions
Everywhere I turn its a dead end in front of me
Strange paranoia took over me, Its weighing' me down, and I can't run any longer.
Knees to the ground.
Anxiety, sane and insane rivalry, paranoia drives me to my knee.
‘If only’ song.
I Am A Rock - Simon and Garfunkel
Animal Song - Savage Garden
Being human with feelings is difficult.
How human always wish to be something else to escape from our troubles and avoid being hurt.
I want to live like animal, careless and free. I want to run to the jungle with the wind in my hair and the sand on my feet.
I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And the rock feels no pain. And the island never cries.
Different Christmas song.
Not mistletoe, not carol, nor present, no white snow.
So heres my lifelong wish, My grown-up christmas list.
Not for myself, But for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts.
Everyone would have a friend, the right would always win, and love would never end.
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
Every coin has two sides.
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
The longer we live, the ore we find that the thing that we thought we know, might not be like what we thought.
All lyrics, sample:
ROWS and ***Flows*** of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Again, there are more to add, but i post this first.
