RE: I don't remember what this was for but...


What I like is that good lyrics can immediately transport you back to a moment in time where you relate to the words in the lyrics.  Good memories or bad, beautiful or sad, can all be brought up to the surface when hearing or reading good lyrics (or a good poem, for that matter).

Mhmm...one that I really like for the lyrics along with those two is:

Hey
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Won't sombody come along
And teach me how to keep it alive
To survive

Come along and show me something
That i never knew in your eyes
Take away the tourniquet

I used to be so full of my confidence
I used to know just what i wanted and just where to go
More than ever i could use a coincidence
But now i walk alone and talk about it, when i know

Hey awe yeah How long
I guess I oughta walk away
Hey awe yeah So long
Watcha' gonna do today

I don't want to have to but I will
If that's what I'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill
But that's what I am about to do

Later on I'll cut you off
When your screaming into the phone
Hard to own

Anyway I want to let you know
that everything is on hold
What you gonna do to me

You used to be so warm and affectionate
All the little things I used to hear my fairy say
But now you're quick to get into your regret
Take a fall and now you got to give it all away

Hey awe yeah How long
I guess I oughta walk away

Hey awe yeah So long
Watcha' gonna do today

I don't want to have to but I will
If that's what I'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill
But that's what I am about to do

I don't want to have to but I will
If that's what I'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill
But that's what I am about to do

Hey, what would you say if I stay
Stay for a while if I may
Say it again and I'll come around
But not for the last time
Hey, what would you say if I change
Change everything but my name
Play it again and I'll come around, come around
But not for the last time, not for the last time

You used to be so warm and affectionate
I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go
And now you're quick to get into your regret
But now I walk alone and talk about it, when I know

Hey awe yeah How long
I guess you gotta walk away
Hey awe yeah So long
Watcha' gonna do today

Hey awe yeah How long
I guess you gotta get away
Hey awe yeah So long
Watcha' gonna do today

Yeah, Snow is one of my favs of theirs....so is Dani California

Dani California
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper
And her mama was a hippie

In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you got to pay when you pick the panorama

She never knew that there was
Anything more than poor

What in the world what does your
Company take me for

Black bandana sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Oh her merry way sayin'
Baby what 'cha gonna

Looking down the barrel of her
Hot metal 45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah yeah

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin' when
It got a little brighter

With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come
When I was gonna mourn ya'

A little loaded she was
Stealin' another breath
I loved my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
yeah yeah

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say say say

Push the fader gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was gunnin'
For the quota

Down in the badlands
She was savin' the best for last

It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah Yeah

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah yeah

Great song Lowe! It's a favorite of mine too and every time I hear it these words stick with me for some reason...."When to descend to amend for a friend; All the channels that have broken down".

I can easily see why it reminds you of Nic too because it talks of sacrifice, the choices one makes to achieve money and fame, losing oneself because of it and all the downsides that come from that desire.......

I have just recently gotten into the Red Hot Chili Peppers...and while listening to some songs, this one came by and reminded me of myself...and I'm not sure, but I think it reminded me of Nic or this board...I don't remember thoughbiggrin

Snow (Hey Oh)
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on

When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time

Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on

When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh now listen what I say oh

When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on

When it's killing me
When will I really see
All that I need to look inside

Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride

When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside

Hey oh listen what I say oh
Come back and
Hey oh look at what I say oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go... hey oh... whoa whoa whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there is nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
and its so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
and there is nowhere to go

Oh


When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down

Now you bring it up
Im gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out

Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on

When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh listen what I say oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go... hey oh
woah woah woah

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there is nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where its so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
and there is nowhere to go.

I said hey hey yeah... oh yeah,
Tell my love now
Hey yeah yeah oh yeah
tell my love now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
privately divided by a world so undecided
And there is nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where its so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
and there is nowhere to go.

I said hey oh yeah... oh yeah,
Tell my love now
Hey yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah
