What is the most significant song to you?

[BoberFett]

Billy Joel - And So It Goes

Edit: Found the lyrics

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

Most Significant song...

Get Gone
Fiona Apple

How many times do I have to say
To get away, get gone
Flip your sh!t past another lasses
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away
With a lot, but I'm not turned-on
So put away that meat you're selling
Cuz I do know what's good for me-
And I've done what I could for you
But you're not benefiting, and yet I'm sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won't get with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won't admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It's time the truth was out that he don't give a
Sh!t about me
How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I can't breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I'm much abliged to up and go
I'll idealize, then realize that it's no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
There's nothing left to grieve
Fu#$in Go
Cuz I've done what I could for you, and I do know what's
Good for me and I'm not benefiting, instead
I'm sitting singing again, singing again, singing again
sing, sing, sing again.

yep.. she's pretty angry in this song.. but, it's the most significant song to me.. another one is "Broken Wing" but I don't remember who the artist is.. it talks about a woman who has a broken wing, but she can still fly

 

[WombatWoman]

"Amazing Grace" has been the most significant song in my life for quite a while.

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You will achieve
A dream come true (dream control)

It's been 10 years, but that song STILL gives me chills every time I hear it...

Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze


It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!


When he was a young warthdog
When I was a young warthdog
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after ev'ry meal
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind


And, oh, the shame
Thoughta changin' my name
And I got downhearted
Ev'rytime that I...


Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze


It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy


Hakuna Matata!
(Repeat)


Hakuna... means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy


Hakuna Matata!
(Repeat)

Probably less than 10 people on the entire board have heard it, but oh well.

 

[Fathom4]

That's a great one Bober chokes me up.

The Rose
Amanda McBroom


Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Please Don't Go (KC & The Sunshine Band)

This beautiful song by Beth Nielsen Chapman was written after the untimely death of her husband.

Sand & Water
...by Beth Nielsen Chapman

All alone,
I didn't like the feeling;
All alone
I sat and cried.
All alone
I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt inside.

All alone
I came into this world;
All alone
I will someday die.
Solid stone
Is just sand and water, baby,
Sand and water, and a million years gone by.

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns;
I will hear you in the sound of the waves.
I will know you when I come, as we all will come,
Through the doors beyond the grave.

All alone I came into this world.
All alone I will someday die.
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby,
Sand
And water
And a million years gone by.

Billy Joel and Ray Charles - Baby Grand

Late at night when it's dark and cold
I reach out for someone to hold
When I'm blue, when I'm lonely
She comes through, she's the only one who can,
My baby grand is all I need

In my time, I've wandered everywhere
Around this world, she would always be there
Any day, any hour
All it takes is the power in my hands,
This baby grand's been good to me

I've had friends, but they've slipped away
I've had fame, but it doesn't stay
I've made fortunes, spent them fast enough
As for women, they don't last with just one man
But my baby grand, is gonna stand by me

They say, no one's gonna play this on the radio
The say the melancholy blues are dead and gone
But only songs like these, played in minor keys
Keep those memories holding on

I've come far from the life I strayed in
I've got the scars from those dives I've played in
Now I'm home, and I'm weary
In my bones, every dreary one night stand
My baby grand is coming home with me

Ever since this gig began, my baby grand's been good to me

 

[MustangSVT]

haha is this a singing contest? (err or typing.) guess this song.

Is this the real life, is this just fantasy.
caught in a land slide, no escape from reality
open your eyes look up the skies and see
im just a poor boy i need no sympathy
because im easy come easy go
Little high little low
Anyway the wind blows , doesnt really matter to me. To mee

Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head pull my trigger now his dead
mama life has just begun, but now ive gone and thrown it all away

Mama oooo didnt mean to make your cry
If im not back again by this time tomarrow carry on carry on
NOthing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine body's achin all the time
Goodbye everybody, ive got to go
Gotta leave u all behind and face the truth

Mama ooooooooooo I dont wanna die
sometimes wish i've never been born at all.

......







That's right Queens' "Bohemian Rhapsody". My another favorite is "Rain Song" from Led Zeppelin as it has pretty easy guitar chords i can follow (after u tune it to it of course).

Nothing Else Matters by MetallicA. It really means a lot to me .

Nothing Else Matters


So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say

trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird (the version that is live from Atlanta and is about 14 minutes 30 seconds long)

 

[Ladi]

My favorite song off the newest album, track 13, and one I've heard at every Live concert I've been to this year...I want to hear this at my wedding

Dance with You - Live

sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in some blissful dream
where the goddess finally sleeps
in the lap of her lover
subdued in all her rage
and i'm aglow with the taste of the demons driven out
and happily replaced with the presence of real love
the only one who saves

i wanna dance with you
i see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
i wanna dance with you
i see a sky full of the stars that changed our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face

the stillness in your eyes
convinces me that i
i don't know a thing
and i've been around the world and i've tasted all the winds
a half a billion times came sickened to your shores
you show me what this life is for

i wanna dance with you
i see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
i wanna dance with you
i see a sky full of the stars that changed our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face

in this altered state
full of so much pain and rage
you know we got to find a way to let it go

sittin' on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in the heart of it all where the goddess finally sleeps
after eons of war and lifetimes
she's smilin' and free, nothin' left
but a cracking voice and a song, oh lord

i wanna dance with you
i see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
i wanna dance with you
i see a sky full of the stars that changed our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face

Faith Hill - Let Me Let Go
i need to stop loving someone who doesn't love me

I thought it was over, baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day without your face
Goin' through my mind

In fact, not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch, memories of your love
Are with me all of the time

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

I talked to you the other day
Looks like you make your escape
You put us behind, no matter how I try
I can't do the same

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know, yeah
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

The lights of this strange city are shinin'
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I try to find the bright side, baby
But everywhere I look
Everywhere I turn
You're all I see

Let me, let me let go, baby, won't you
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Oh, let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Yeah, you're still in my soul, let me let go
Let me let go, let me let go

Hang by Matchbox Twenty

She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all her notes
She knows, she?s been here too few years to feel this old

He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside ?till it?s gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn?t be alone
He knows, she?s been here too few years, to be gone

And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there?s nothing there to make things change
If it?s the same for you I?ll just hang

The trouble understand, is she got reasons he don?t
Funny how I couldn?t see at all, ?til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, she?s been here too few years, to take it all in stride
But still it?s much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there?s nothing there to make things change
If it?s the same for you I?ll just hang
the same for you, I?ll always hang
Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things don?t work out like we think
And there?s nothing there to ease this ache
There?s nothing there to make things change
If it?s the same for you, I?ll just hang
