Hmm Thought it was about military priests...in WWI it sounded like. Always thought that was the worst hypocrisy ever.
The Balance http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...Nyn9cViXPMNB7JwDA&sig2=RqsF2Yw0crqLEzVc3HGsug After he had journeyed, And his feet were sore, And he was tired, He came upon an orange grove And he rested And he lay in the cool, And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it, And it was good. And he felt the earth to his spine, And he asked, and he saw the tree above him, and the stars, And the veins in the leaf, And the light, and the balance. And he saw magnificent perfection, Whereon he thought of himself in balance, And he knew he was. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start. And he thought of those he angered, For he was not a violent man, And he thought of those he hurt For he was not a cruel man And he thought of those he frightened For he was not an evil man, And he understood. He understood himself. Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear, It was because he was not understanding, And he learned, compassion. And with his eye of compassion. He saw his enemies like unto himself, And he learned love. Then, he was answered. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start.
Isn't Life Strange http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...IS7J9NAOfZDcKjwuA&sig2=-tEDBZtnAKbHLLukUavXow Moody Blues - Isn't Life Strange Moody Blues - Isn't Life Strange Moody Blues - Isn't Life Strange Moody Blues - Isn't Life Strange Isnt life strange A turn of the page Can read like before Can we ask for more? Each day passes by How hard man will try? The sea will not wait You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry - Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back there you were, and here we are. Isnt love strange A word we arrange With no thought or care Maker of despair Each breath that we breathe With love we must weave To make us as one You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry - Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back there you were, and here we are. Isnt life strange A turn of the page A book without life Unless with love we write; To throw it away To lose just a day The quicksand of time You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry - Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back there you were:
I Love the Moody Blues, But as long as you are doing strange tracks don't forget the Doors. The Doors - People are Strange (Lyrics)
Since this contains the elements of a little dog being killed and insane optimism I'd say its a sad sound in spite of its up beat tempo. There's also maniacal laughter involved which is always a good thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEZtII8rt_Y Happy Boy by the Beat Farmers I was walkin' down the street on a sunny day hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba Feelin' in my bones that I'll have my way hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba Chorus: Well, I'm a happy boy (happy boy) Well, I'm a happy boy (happy boy) Oh, ain't it good when things are goin' your way? Hey hey My little dog, Spot got hit by a car hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba Put his guts in a box and put him in a drawer hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba (chorus) I forgot all about it for a month and a half hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba I looked in the drawer and started to laugh hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Nice to see the song "Happy Boy"...used to hear hubba hubba spoken from time to time younger, never knew wherefrom it origined. * here "Plainsong" by The Cure to add to the thread it is sad. If one were to You Tube it it quite bursts and shimmers. Plainsong- The Cure "Ithink it's dark and looks like rain", you said "And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world",you said "And it's so cold like the cold if you were dead", and then you smiled for a sceond "It think I'm old and I'm feeling pain", you said "And it's all running ou like it's the end of the world", you said "And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead", and then you smiled for a second. "Sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at the edge of the world, like i'm living at the edge of the world." "It's just how you smile", you said

Yeah! I do to. Several times I thought it would sort of fade into the past and then someone would bring it back again. it seems there is no end to sad songs and everyone knows a few they want to share with others. Also, it's easy to be reminded of a song that you just have to share. I actually listen to every posted song. Can't say I liked them all but some have really brought back memories. Buffalo Springfield - Sad Memory
paraphrasing:youve been cold to me so long i'm crying icicles instead of tears. there aint no way i'm ever gonna love you. -words by Jim Steinman Awesome lyrics right there, the whole song, which i dont feel like looking up right now. and another: If you feel like leaving you know you can go But why don't you stay until tomorrow? If you want to be free, you know, all you got to do is say so And when you feel cold, I'll warm you And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you It's you... And me forever -Hall and Oates
Most often, this song is accredited to The Eagles. Here is a version done by Buck Owens, Hollywood Waltz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXQmw3K3ioA
Well since you mentioned that strange song I'll add this one as well. Stranger In A Strange Land http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...cb3aV6ulW6CKxvpew&sig2=7Zd8Zabj_QpJXtF-zCiftQ How many days has it been Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some words to say About the way we live today Why can't we learn to love each other It's time to turn a new face To the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase Lay back, relax Get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's a thing Do you recognize the bells of truth When you hear them ring Won't you stop and listen To the children sing Won't you come on and sing it children He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land
we're in heaven. slow version (this song is sad because something this precious doesn't seem to last or it's vulnerable to be tainted or destroyed by the world, life, jealousy, sometimes forced separation etc) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiowf5Q0auY&feature=related Baby you're all that I want. When you're lying here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in heaven. Oh, thinking about all our younger years, There was only you and me, We were young and wild and free. Now nothing can take you away from me. We’ve been down that road before, But that's over now. You keep me coming back for more. Baby you're all that I want. When you're lying here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in heaven. And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven. Now, nothing could change what you mean to me. There's a lot that I could say But just hold me now, Cause our love will light the way. Baby you're all that I want. When you're lying here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in heaven. And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven. Now our dreams are coming true. Through the good times and the bad I'll be standing there by you. (We’re in heaven.) And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven.
The Sounds Of Silence Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come with talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared To stir the sound of silence Fool, said I, you do not know, silence, like a cancer, grows Hear my words and I might teach you, take my arms then I might reach you But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they'd made And the sign flashed its warning in the words that it was forming And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...AncgW9duWcfsrHkuQ&sig2=wh24uTA3BxEp74Y7GAJIUw
Melencholy Man http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...wM3XCQ&usg=AFQjCNE7FWgXp24ru_IL4b0mW-i6MUtMSg I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am, All the world surrounds me, and my feet are on the ground. I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can, All the world astounds me and I think I understand That we're going to keep growing, wait and see. When all the stars are falling down Into the sea and on the ground, And angry voices carry on the wind, A beam of light will fill your head And you'll remember what's been said By all the good men this world's ever known. Another man is what you'll see, Who looks like you and looks like me, And yet somehow he will not feel the same, His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me, 'Cause he can't see what you and I can see.
