Confess: Totally cheeser song you totally identify with |
|
I'll go first.
Rocket Man by Elton John.
Especially after the last few months. I spent so much time on the road, and was recovering from the wedding flameout I've already covered in a couple too many maudlin posts. Combine that with 40,000 miles, hotels, strangers, and tons of public speaking where I had to have my game face on.
She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine a.m. And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It’s lonely out in space On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I’m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Your turn.

1. Check out my thread from earlier today, Will.... |
|
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=641379I'm coming to terms with my inner Gouda.... Other than my newfound Dio worship, I gotta say that I totally identify with ZZ Top's "Tush," simply because I, too, am not asking for much. I, too....am just looking for some "tush."

2. Green Day, Time of Your Life |
|
Another turning point; a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist; directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test and don't ask why.
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.

4. Nowhere Man: The Beatles |
|
I think of *Bush every time I hear this song.
He's a real nowhere Man, Sitting in his Nowhere Land, Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't kave a point of view, Knows not where he's going to, Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere Man, please listen, You don't know what you're missing, Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be, Just sees what he wants to see, Nowhere Man can you see me at all? Doesn't have a point of view, Knows not where he's going to, Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere Man, don't worry, Take your time, don't hurry, Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand.
He's a real Nowhere Man, Sitting in his Nowhere Land, Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

I think I've already lost you I think you're already gone I think I'm finally scared now You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong I think you're already leaving Feels like your hand is on the door I thought this place was an empire But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure
I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - I think too much I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home 'Cause there's a little bit of something me In everything in you
I bet you're hard to get over I bet the room just won't shine I bet my hands I can stay here I bet you need - more than you mind
I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home 'Cause there's a little bit of something me In everything in you
I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home 'Cause there's a little bit of something me In everything in you

7. Keith Whitley...I'm No Stranger to the Rain. |

and somedays "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife" Glenn Campbell. Especially when I sit and wonder how I ended up "here" with the two kids, the dog, cat, and 50's brick ranch...sigh. I wouldn't trade it though. Just the exact opposite of what I had envisioned for myself.

8. It Don't Come Easy (sung by Ringo Starr) |
|
Edited on Tue Jan-13-04 11:26 PM by Skittles
I was 14, my dad was hospitalized for over a year following a suicide attempt (he eventually would succeed) and my mum couldn't handle all the kids and sent me to live with my alcoholic aunt and uncle. I thought that song was written for me.
It Don't Come Easy Lyrics
(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy) (It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues And you know it don't come easy Now you don't have to shout or leap about You can even take it easy Forget about the past and all your sorrow The future won't last It will soon be your tomorrow
I don't want much, I only want for trust And you know it don't come easy And this love of mine keeps growing all the time And you know it don't come easy Open up your heart, let's come together Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better
It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues As you know it don't come easy You don't have to shout or leap about You can even take it easy Please remember peace is what we make it It's here within your reach, you are big enough to take it
I don't ask for much, I only want trust You know it don't come easy This love of mine is growing all the time And you know it don't come easy

9. Whether it's "cheeser" depends on if you like Tool |
|
but "Stinkfist" always says a lot to me - speaks to my attempts to bust out of my rut and fucking feel something.
Something has to change. Un-deniable dilemma. Boredom's not a burden Anyone should bear.
Constant over stimu-lation numbs me and I wouldn't have It any other way.
It's not enough. I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive.
Finger deep within the borderline. Show me that you love me and that we belong together. Relax, turn around and take my hand.
I can help you change Tired moments into pleasure. Say the word and we'll be Well upon our way.
Blend and balance Pain and comfort Deep within you Till you will not have me any other way.
It's not enough. I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive.
Knuckle deep inside the borderline. This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to. Relax. Slip away.
Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized to everything. What became of subtlety?
How can it mean anything to me If I really don't feel anything at all?
I'll keep digging till I feel something.
Elbow deep inside the borderline. Show me that you love me and that we belong together. Shoulder deep within the borderline. Relax. Turn around and take my hand.

20. Well, on the surface yes. |

Edited on Wed Jan-14-04 12:35 AM by VelmaD
And we won't go into whether that has any meaning for me. :evilgrin: Wouldn't want Skinner to lock the thread.
But there are also alternative interpretations. It's also about the effort to feel something through the numbness the world tries to wrap us all in. "Desensitized to everything...what became of sublety?"
Some people have also tried to tell me that it's about our consumption driven society and advertising and the way they try to shove products we don't need into every available orifice. Not sure I buy that one but, hey, whatever.
And on a very personal note, like I said, it speaks to my own efforts to force myself to feel something...anything. "I'll keep digging...til I feel something." More than that I'm uncomfortable sharing in public.
So yes, it's about fisting. :-)

10. Modern English - I melt with you |
|
It' cheesy, it's from the 80's. Oh well, I still like it.
Moving forward using all my breath Making love to you was never second best I saw the world thrashing all around your face Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
I'll stop the world and melt with you You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time There's nothing you and I won't do I'll stop the world and melt with you
(You should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate (You should see why) Dropped in the state of imaginary grace (You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race (You should see why) What I'm comprehending a race that long gone bye
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)

11. Not one, but TWO Corey Hart songs. |
|
That's right, I said Corey Hart. Top that for cheesiness!
"Never Surrender"
Just a little more time is all we're asking for Cause just a little more time could open closing doors Just a little uncertainty can bring you down
And nobody wants to know you now And nobody wants to show you how
So if you're lost and on your own You can never surrender And if your path won't lead you home You can never surrender And when the night is cold and dark You can see, you can see light Cause no one can take away your right To fight and never surrender
"In Your Soul"
Ever since I was a little kid I have always thought I could run faster than the wind Stare up to the sky with open spaces I could live and die Man you can't find that in no book Never find that in no book Someone will drag you down And try to knock you under Hey mama said with her words of wonder Don't matter cause, cause it's in your soul
I have always felt That I had to prove it to myself No salvation from the firin' line A million dreams won't set you free God i know there's something trapped in me There's no refuge from the ride No shelter ever saved a man his pride Give you pain and never feed your hunger I won't close my eyes when it rain and thunders Don't matter cause, cause it's in your soul

I don't think this song is particualrly cheesy, but I've been informed that it in fact is, so here goes:
Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out
Now - the mist across the window hides the lines But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine Electricity so fine, look and dry your eyes.
We're - so tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say can come alive Get into a car and drive to the other side.
Me babe - steppin' out into the night into the light. You babe - steppin' out into the night into the light.
We - are young but getting old before our time. We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind. Don't you wonder what we'll find steppin' out tonight.
You - can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile. We'll be there in just a while if you follow me.
Me babe - steppin' out into the night into the light. . . . Me babe - steppin' out into the night into the light. . ..
FWIW, I saw Joe Jackson live a few years ago, and left the theatre nearly crying with joy from his marvelousness. :)

That's one of the most overwhelmingly emotional songs ever written...I can't listen to it without tearing up. Then add Chris Bell's life story to the mix, and it's a song I can only hear once a month because it makes me so depressed....NOT CHEESER IN THE LEAST.

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it rains I'm only happy when it's complicated And though I know you can't appreciate it I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad And why it feels so good to feel so sad I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains I feel good when things are going wrong I only listen to the sad, sad songs I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark My only comfort is the night gone black I didn't accidentally tell you that I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through When I complain about me and you I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down, Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down
You can keep me company As long as you don't care
I'm only happy when it rains You wanna hear about my new obsession? I'm riding high upon a deep depression I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me ...

26. More angry girl music...Poe this time |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-14-04 12:56 AM by VelmaD
The person who posted "Only Happy When it Rains" reminded me about this song. (It's on my RealPlayer playlist right after Garbage.) I just adore Poe and this is her best angry-girl song. I love the line "Tell me something dangerous and true". When I'm having a day this song is like my manifesto to the male half of the specied. :evilgrin:
I'm Not a Virgin Anymore
I'm not a virgin anymore I just thought you should know Darlin' I've been around Yeah, I've been up and down your block In fact I have been all over town Down by the lake And underneath the table in my living room Outside by the blue blue moon
You can call me what you will Call me a slut call me a jaded pill But darlin I've got your number now
I'm not a virgin anymore I've been taken I've been hung up I get down and start it over again I've been open And I've been closed like a book And burned down like a written sin I just thought you should know my darling Before we begin I'm not a virgin anymore
Just thought you should know Before you let another lie Slip through those crooked little teeth I don't think you wanna start that shit with me
Much better yet Tell me something dangerous and true Oh yeah that looks much sexier on you
Careful what it is you say 'Cause I can see right through you On a cloudy day and darlin' I think you wanna play I'm not a virgin anymore I've been taken I've been hung up I get down and start it over again I've been open And I've been closed like a book And burned down like a written sin So if you wanna play dirty my darling I'm gonna win I'm not a virgin anymore
Been there done that (Say what?) Get the hang of it Get screwed I screw you I had a whole lot of fun with it I've had enough now so you better take a bow It's gonna be a new experience if you wanna play with me
Daisy chains and maryjanes Happy ending fairy tales Cannot fool me now
I've been taken I've been hung up I get down and start it over again I've been open And I've been closed like a book And burned down like a written sin
Hell I've been divided Out of my mind and reinvented again I've been ignited and then uninvited So honey You break it up I'm gonna put it back together again
I just thought you should know my darling Before we begin
I'm not a virgin anymore

37. My cheesy song and why I refuse to turn on any "lite" rock stations |
|
Don't listen to "lite rock" or "soft rock" if you have relationship problems or every damn song you hear will f*ck with your head. Forget the cheesy stuff alltogether. Find some classic rock and roll, jazz, classical, or something else.
It's Too Late by Carol King
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time There's something wrong here There can be no denying One of us is changing Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby Now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died And I can't hide And I just can't fake it Wo no no no...
It used to be so easy living here with you You were light and breezy And I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby Now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died And I can't hide And I just can't fake it
There'll be a time just for me and you But we just can't stay together Don't you feel it too Still I'm glad for what we had And how I once loved you
And it's too late baby Now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died And I can't hide And I just can't fake it
Too late, baby, it's too late Darling, it's too late

by Tom Petty. Also love "Won't Back Down" and "Running Down A Dream". Some good ones mentioned besides TP, Garbage, Green Day, and Joe Jackson.
For me it's about being sad in the moment and realizing that you can still be free and learn to find other skies, so to speak.
Learning to Fly
Well I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went down as I crossed the hill The town lit up the world got still
I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Comin' down is the hardest thing
Well the good old days may not return And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn
I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Comin' down is the hardest thing Well some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I started out for God kno ws where But I guess I'll know when I get there
I'm learning to fly around the clouds But what goes up must come down
I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Comin' down is the hardest thing I'm learning to fly around the clouds But what goes up must come down
I'm learning to fly I'm learning to fly

40. Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-14-04 02:20 PM by myrna minx
Don't Give Up Lyrics
in this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong
rest your head you worry too much it's going to be alright when times get rough you can fall back on us don't give up please don't give up
'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing
moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs
don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place there's a place where we belong
This song makes me cry every time. *I* don't think its a cheeser, but I am sure many would. I looooovvvve this song.

42. NOTHING CHEESER ABOUT THIS! |
|
This song helped keep me from doing the "big checkout" some years back, and the bridge in the song:
'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing-
for some reason gives me goosbumps

43. Read the end of my post... |

I don't think it is cheeser, either. This song has ushered me through the darkest times in my life. Some folks, however, roll their eyes (people I know) whenever I wax poetic about this song. I love this song.

45. "A-E-I-O-U Sometimes Y" by EBN-OZN |
|
Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.... I was walking up Broadway you know and there's this incredible looking Swedish girl having a Cappuccino across the street from Lincoln Center, I started talking to her you know - She said her name was Lola, Her English wasn't too good you know - but we wound up spending about 5 hours together just hanging out you know. So We go back to my place - we get high - we get really into each other man. It was love about to happen...I'm serious. And then all of a sudden she gets up and she says, she says "Hey, I really gotta leave" Damn A E I O U Sometimes Y There are 178 parent languages on our planet with over 1000 dialects... It's amazing we communicate at all. Languages and dialects - with this one thing in common: A E I O U Sometimes Y Ahhh! A E I O U A E I O U A E I O U A E I O U Sometimes Y!! But you know I was really flipped out you know and she asked me if I'm angry or something I said of course I'm angry man this isn't high school or anything you know so I'm feeling really cavalier and I say ah...call me if you want to... huh, yeah...call me if you want to So she rang me up and she says, "Hey! Do you wanna go out?" Huh, Do I wanna go out A E I O U Sometimes Y A E I O U Sometimes Y Operator! Operator! What's happening operator?! Mommy? Mommy Mommy!! Where are you Mommy? I can't see you I can't see you Mommy! All artists, potentially, are the victims of their desire to be unique Just observe it Don't fight it Work it. Work it. Work it. Work it. Work it. Yeah she took me home man she threw me all around the room man I mean this chick was really hot she was nice to me you know She let me keep on my cowboy boots and everything...she was Allright... oh! oh! yeah! oh! oh! oh! oh! ohhhhhh!!! I dare you to play this record A E I O U Sometimes Y A E I O U Sometimes Y Anyway so she took me home and she splattered my brains Yeah there I am there I am what happened what happened Where was I oh here I am I told her I wouldn't sleep with her friends - she Doesn't sleep with my friends Anything else you do You know...Don't you tell me Lola

47. "Rocket Man" is not a cheeser... |
|
Rolling Stones, "You can't always get what you want..." is not a cheeser. (That was my personal anthem after I hit the "eject" button on a relationship... I didn't graduate to "Rocket Man" until after I'd wandered through a few other empty wastelands.)
My nomination: "Knowing me, knowing you," by abba. It speaks of empty places, so there you go Will. Even though I have no musical taste, and therefore LOVE abba, I acknowledge that most people don't. The song is a cheeser.
There are two parts here: Her and (Him.)
Mem’ries (mem’ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days) They’ll be (they’ll be), with me (with me) always (always) In these old familiar rooms children would play Now there’s only emptiness, nothing to say
Oh yeah, anyone who thinks I was cruel to Will in that other thread, or in this one, well, the one horrible time I was forced to hit the "eject button" on a relationship, she hit her button first, while I was still thinking we could land the damned plane. I'd been flying with someone who reminds me very much of Mr. William Pitt.
You see, she wrote this book...
