There are some lyrics that just strike a chord deep inside me for various reasons. Some are sad, some are lighthearted. Some take me back many years and bring either fond or sombre memories.
I wanted to post either full or partial lyrics to one of those songs today. I promise more funny will follow sometime soon.
The first song?
The Philosopher Kings - You're Allowed.wma
(Don't be thrown off by the sounds at the start)
The boys who split your lip and hurt your pride
They broke you more than you know
And all the secret things, that bump in the night
The woes (wolves) outside your door
You're allowed to feel afraid
You're allowed to feel alone
You're allowed to ask out loud
mmmm mm hm mmm hmm
The boys that pulled your hair and hurt your pride
They broke you more than you know
And that drowning dream that comes in the night
The woes (wolves) outside your door
You're allowed to feel afraid
You're allowed to feel alone
You're allowed to ask out loud
You're eyes burn with sleep and your ears stop hearing me
Like when his body relaxes over you
There's nothing in the world -- There's nothing that's for real
There's nothing that's for real
There's nothing that's for real
There's nothing that's for real
There's nothing that's for real
You're allowed to feel alone
You're allowed to ask out loud
You're allowed
You're allowed
You're allowed

[EDIT: File has been uploaded the only way that would work... might require a download and there may be limitations. Will remove after a few days. No online love for Canadian artist's obscure songs.]

Music moves. Not just physically but spiritually and mentally. :-)

Music can really talk to you, and it seems like when you feel the most down is when you hear the saddest song...
ReplyDeleteI voted a 10 for your banana guns!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets the urge to post song lyrics.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of song lyric posts... I may just steal that one.

when you find one i would love to hear it
ReplyDeleteOh and that being said, the Philosopher Kings were way cool.
ReplyDelete*Barb the French Bean - indeed. I find especially so when I am alone.
ReplyDelete*AmberLaShell - thanks for the vote, and yup, music can sure can bring on the sadness sometimes, or allow me to wallow. Or, sometimes, get me pumped up and super-hyper. It all depends.
*Yandie, Goddess of Pickles - being a musician yourself, you would understand totally. Sometimes you can just feel it. The Philosopher Kings tried to re-unite in 2006 I guess, but nothing new on their website now.
*Simple Dude - steal? Steal??!? NOOOOooooo.....! ;-)
*becca - it's up for now, let me know if it works!
