If there were one song that best fit you. Best described how you were feeling. What would it be?

I will start. For me it would be Holy Water by Big and Rich.

Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she crys

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

"Back At One"

It's undeniable... that we should be together...
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...

One... you're like a dream come true...
Two... just wanna be with you...
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me...
Four... repeat steps one through three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One (yeah)

So Incredible... the way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about babe...
And undesirable... for us to be apart...
Never would of made it very far...
Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart
Cause...

One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me
Four.. .repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One......

Say farewell to the dark of night... I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child... whose life has just begun...
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line... just in the Nick of Tiimmmeeee.....

One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me... girl and...
Four... repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One.

Amazing - Aerosmith

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin’ insane
Tryin’ to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah,i thought I could leave but couldn’t get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin’ a lie
I was wishin that i
Would die

Chorus:
It’s amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It’s amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
It’s amazing
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot’s a permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life’s a journey not a destination
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn’t listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just tryin’ to survive
Scratchin’ to stay
Alive
Chorus

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts

I thought I knew Aerosmith's music fairly well. I will have to download this song and listen to it. I just can't seem to recall it. Thank you for sharing though.

"Strong" by Leann Rimes

The light of my life's been stolen
I've walked in every shade of black
And I never thought I would get me back

It's funny how life can change you
and make you who you are today
I wonder if God set it up that way for me to be
(Chorus)
Stronger, even when it hurts
The heat its gonna burn, gotta let it go
Strong, Strong
Make a big mistake and never run away

There's nothing like this feeling
To be free and unafraid
Whoever thought I could be this brave?
Living every day

Stronger, even when it hurts
The heat its gonna burn, gotta let it go
Strong, Strong
Make a big mistake and never run away

I wanna push away the boundaries
I wanna love outside the lines
I wanna sail at the sun
and be ok and fight for my life

Whatever ccomes
Whatever breaks
I'll stand up straight

Stronger, even when it hurts
The heat its gonna burn, gotta let it go
Strong, Strong
Make a big mistake and never run away
Never run away, no, no, no,
Strong

I so love that song.

Thank you to everyone for sharing. You can really learn a lot about someone by the song they most relate to.

I wasn't really sure how to answer this because this changes for me depending...

I also tend to be moved more by the actual music then the words in a lot of cases.

With that said, Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" is often one that I find myself humming.

As for words I can relate to, Billy Joel often fills my needs... like:

"And So It Goes"

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

I liked the way you answered this. I think it changes for everyone. I am also into the instrumental end of music. I have a soft spot for drums, accustic guitar and any kind of sax. I can relate to that music also.

Van Morrison and Billy Joel definately thumbs up thumbs up

For me, it has to be......

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh, yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

(Ack. Helen Reddy - I am Woman)

Nobody's Girl

Bonnie Raitt

She don't need anybody to tell her she's pretty.
She's heard it every single day of her life.
He's got to wonder what she sees in him
when there's so many others standing in line.
She gives herself to him,
but he's still on the outside.
She's alone in this world.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.

She's shows up at his doorstep in the middle of the night.
Then she disappears for weeks at a time.
Just enough to keep him wanting more
But never is he satisfied.
And he's left to pick up the pieces
Wondering what does he do this for.
She's off in her own little world.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.

He said, "Before I met her, I didn't love nothin'.
I could take and leave it - that was okay.
She brings out a want in me
for things I didn't even know that I need."

She does anything she wants any time she wants to
with anyone - you know she wants it all.
Still she gets all upset over the least little thing
Man, you hurt her, it makes you feel so small.
And she's a walking contradiction,
but I ache for her inside.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.

bob1959: These days........Rosey, Jackson Browne


Here ya go Bob - I love Jackson Browne too - have seen him live a good few times - he wrote this song when he was only 18 if Im not mistaken........

Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days--
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to

And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days--
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing for so long

I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days--
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

BRING ME ALL YOUR LOVING


~TRISHA YEARWOOD~

Please don't bring me flowers
Tied up in a pretty bow
I'd trade a thousand roses
For just one hand to hold

And I don't want no candy
Sugar hurts my teeth
All I want is you tonight
That'd be really sweet

(Chorus:)
There's nothin' at the five and dime
That I really need
Your kiss is the only gift
That means a thing to me
Bring me all your lovin'
That's somethin' you ain't tried
Bring me all your lovin'
And I'll be satisfied

I don't want a poem
Written fancy on a card
I'd rather have "I love you"
Scribbled on my heart

And I won't wear a new dress
From the downtown store
Wrap me up in your arms
And, baby, I'll be yours

(Repeat chorus 1)

(Chorus 2:)
There's nothin' at the five and dime
That I really need
Your kiss is the only gift
That means a thing to me
Yeah, bring me all your lovin'
Somethin' you can't buy
Bring me all your lovin'
And I'll give you all of mine

Yeah, bring me all your lovin'
Throw your presents in the creek
Bring me all your lovin'
And I'll be tickled pink

In the Shelter of Your Eyes

Don Williams

In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally found my song.
'Took so long to realize
I just can't make it on my own.

Words are only what they say,
But this feeling isn't wrong.
I'm so glad I found my way -
It's good to be where I belong!

And I'm gonna' stay right here 'cause I'm
In rythm with your mind...
Tune out the world and rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes.

...Words are only what they say,

I'm so glad I found my way -

And I'm gonna' stay right here 'cause I'm

Tune out the world and rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes.
