Trapped-Bruce Springsteen covered it

Seems like I'm caught up

in your trap

again

Seems like I'll be

wearing the same

old chains

Good will conquer

Evil

And the truth will

set me free

And I know some

day I will find

the key

I know

somewhere I will

find the key

Seems like I've

been playing your

game way too long

Seems the game

I've played has

made you strong

When the game is

over

I won't walk out the

loser

I know I'll walk

out of here again

I know someday

I'll walk out of

here again

 

 

Well now I'm

Trapped

OOh yeah

Trapped

OOh Yeah

Trapped

 

 

Seems like I've

been sleeping in

your bed too

long

Seems like you've

been meaning to

do me harm

But I'll teach my

eyes to see

Beyond these

walls in front of

me

Someday I'll walk

out of here again

Someday I'll walk

out of here again

White Rabbit

 

Jefferson Airplane

 

 

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall

 

And if you go chasing rabbits

And you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

Call Alice

When she was just small

 

When the men on the chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice

I think she'll know

 

When logic and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's off with her head

Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head

Feed your head

Bittersweet Symphony

 

The Verve

 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PyP3g6oiQck&autoplay=1

 

 

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

You're a slave to money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places

where all the veins meet yeah,

 

No change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

But I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

 

Well I never pray

But tonight I'm on my knees yeah

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now

But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

 

No change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

I can't change

I can't change

 

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

Try to find some money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places

where all the things meet yeah

 

You know I can change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

 

I can't change my mold

no, no, no, no, no,

I can't change

Can't change my body,

no, no, no

 

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

Been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Have you ever been down?

Have you've ever been down?

"Don't Cry" - Seal

 

Don't be so hard on yourself

Those tears are for someone else

I hear your voice on the phone

I hear you feel so alone

 

My baby

Oh, my baby

Please, my baby

My baby

 

When we were young

And truth was paramount

We were older then

And we lived a life

Without any doubt

Those memories

They seem so long ago

What's become of them

When you feel like me

I want you to know

 

Don't cry

You're not alone

Don't cry tonight, my baby

Don't cry

You'll always be loved

Don't cry tonight, my baby

 

Today I dreamed

Of friends I had before

And I wonder why

The ones who care

Don't call anymore

My feelings hurt

But you know

I overcome the pain

And I'm stronger now

There can't be a fire unless there's a flame

 

Don't cry

You're not alone

Don't cry tonight, my baby

Don't cry

You'll always be loved

Don't cry

 

Limousines and sycophants

Don't leave me now

Cause I'm afraid

What you've done to me

Is now the wolf

In my bed

In my head

In my head

In my head

 

The challenges we took

Were hard enough

They get harder now

Even when we think

That we've had enough

Don't feel alone

Cause it's I you understand

I'm your sedative

Take a piece of me

Whenever you can

 

Don't cry

You're not alone

Don't cry tonight, my baby

 

Don't cry

You'll always be loved

Don't cry tonight, sweet baby

 

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Don't you cry, cry

Don't cry

Cause you'll still be loved

Don't cry

Don't cry tonight

 

My baby, my baby, my baby

My baby, my baby, my baby

My baby, my baby, my baby

My baby, my baby, my baby

 

Don't cry tonight

You'll still be loved

"Crying Over" - Patty Griffin

 

Light it up, baby, light up that fire

I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now

And these sorrows I'm crying over

And these sorrows I'm crying over

 

Embrace me, embrace me with your kind love

It's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of

And all of this dreaming of silver and gold

Is something to break this winter so cold

And these sorrows I'm crying over

And these sorrows I'm crying over

 

We go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain

Love leaves a mark and love leaves a strain

Back in the saddle again and again

Millions of eyes and none of them friends

 

You better light it up, baby, you better light up that fire

Cause I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now

From these sorrows I'm crying over

From these sorrows I'm crying over

From these sorrows I'm crying over

Crying over

"Head Above Water" - Theory of a Deadman

 

Did you ever picture life like this

No shooting star to grant your wish

Are you everything you hoped you'd be

Or caught somewhere in between

You dropped your nickel down a wishing well

And prayed for luck to cast its spell

To bring you closer to your dreams

That always seem just out of reach

 

You pray to God the moment when

You feel the current pull you in

 

Trying to keep your head above water

Has never been harder

Even when it feels hopeless

You're gonna get through this

Head above water

Gotta fight from going under

Even when it feels useless to wish

You're gonna get through this

 

Have you ever felt like giving in

Tried for hours but just can't win

Tell yourself you're not good enough

The struggle alone is just too much

No one's there to hear you scream

You gasp for air but cannot breathe

Did you ever think you'd see the day

When you'd watch your life get washed away

 

You pray to God the moment when

You feel the current pull you in

 

Trying to keep your head above water

Has never been harder

Even when it feels hopeless

You're gonna get through this

Head above water

Gotta fight from going under

Even when it feels useless to wish

You're gonna get through this

 

Did it ever hurt so bad

That the thought of feeling lost would never end

Well you will think again

 

Trying to keep your head above water

Has never been harder

When it feels hopeless

You're gonna get through this

Head above water

Gotta fight from going under

Even when it feels useless to wish

You're gonna get through this

 

Head above water

Never been harder

Trying to keep your head above water

Has never been harder

You're gonna get through this

You're gonna get through this

"Healing Hands" - Elton John

 

I never dreamed

I could cry so hard

That ain't like a man

I could fly like a bird some days

Had a place where I could land

 

I could have sworn

We were all locked in

Ain't that what you said

I never knew it could hurt so bad

When the power of love is dead

 

But giving in to the nighttime

Ain't no cure for the pain

You gotta wade into the water

You gotta learn to live again

 

And reach out for her healing hands

Reach out for her healing hands

There's a light where the darkness ends

Touch me now and let me see again

Rock me now in your gentle healing hands

 

I never knew love like poison

That burned like a fire

All I ever wanted was a reason

To drown in your eyes

 

I never knew sleep so restless

Empty arms so cold

That's not the way it's supposed to be

It ain't the spell that I was sold

 

But giving in to the nighttime

Ain't no cure for the pain

You gotta wade into the water

You gotta learn to live again

 

And reach out for her healing hands

Reach out for her healing hands

There's a light where the darkness ends

Touch me now and let me see again

Rock me now in your gentle healing hands

Huge hugs back MB and SWK ❤️ Here's a *special *song for a beautiful friend. Thanks MB for all the tunes...and everything... Then I'll get back to the dark songs. I love them...I'll leave you in charge of throwing down some hopeful ones every now and then 

 

 

 

Wildflower

 

Sklylark

 

 

http://youtu.be/kRKZ1UqEoX8

 

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine

And many times her eyes fought back the tears

 

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

 

Each time her slender shoulders

Bore the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

 

Let her cry for she's a lady

Let her dream for she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

 

And if by chance I should hold her

Let me hold her for a time

But if allowed just one possession

I would pick her from the garden to be mine

 

Be careful how you touch her

For she'll awaken

And sleep's the only freedom that she knows

 

And when you walk into her eyes

You won't believe

The way she's always paying

For a debt she never owes

 

And a silent wind still blows

That only she can hear and so she goes

 

Let her cry for she's a lady

Let her dream for she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

 

Let her cry for she's lady

Let her dream for she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

 

She's a flower growing wild

She's free

Changes

 

3 Doors Down

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not suposed to be scared of anything, but I don't know where I am

I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted and nobody understands (how I feel)

I'm trying hard to breathe now but there's no air in my lungs

There's no one here to talk to and the pain inside is making me numb

 

I try to hold this Under control

They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

 

Now I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

When I get suffocated, save me

Now I'm going through changes, changes

 

I'm feeling weak and weary walking through this world alone

Everything you say, every word of it, cuts me to the bone

I've got something to say, but now I've got no where to turn

It feels like I've been buried underneath all the weight of the world

 

I try to hold this Under control

They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

 

Now I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

When I get suffocated, save me

Now I'm going through changes, changes

 

I'm blind and shakin'

Bound and breaking

I hope I make it through all these changes

 

Now I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

When I get suffocated, save me

Now I'm falling apart, now I feel it

 

But I'm going through changes, changes

God, I feel so frustrated lately

And I get suffocated, I hate this

But I'm going through changes, changes

I Shall Believe

 

Sheryl Crow

 

 

"I Shall Believe"

 

Come to me now

And lay your hands over me

Even if it's a lie

Say it will be alright

And I shall believe

 

I'm broken in two

And I know you're on to me

That I only come home

When I'm so all alone

But I do believe

 

That not everything is gonna be the way

You think it ought to be

It seems like every time I try to make it right

It all comes down on me

Please say honestly you won't give up on me

And I shall believe

And I shall believe

 

Open the door

And show me your face tonight

I know it's true

No one heals me like you

And you hold the key

 

Never again

would I turn away from you

I'm so heavy tonight

But your love is alright

And I do believe

 

That not everything is gonna be the way

You think it ought to be

It seems like every time I try to make it right

It all comes down on me

Please say honestly

You won't give up on me

And I shall believe

I shall believe

 

❤️

Thanks,abcd and saga23;

 

These songs cry out the way we feel, don't they?  Music, literature, and art can be so encouraging when we need to know that someone else has "felt this way too."  It breaks through our aloneness.

 

May God bless you both today, and  anyone whose eyes pass over these words.

 

Hang on for today, and remember every little pleasant experience or tiny break in the clouds.  Small hope is a hint of what lies ahead. 

 

Nomo 

[[...]]

Nomo, your beautiful words brought a lump to my throat.  Thank you so much! 

"It speaks through our aloneness"  Sigh. 

This is one heck of a journey we're all on, isn't it.

Sending big hugs and love and healing right back at you.  And some Elton who says it perfectly ... 

 

 

 

Sad Songs - Elton John

 

Guess there are times when we all need

To share a little pain

And ironing out the rough spots

Is the hardest part

When memories remain

And it's times like these when we all need

To hear the radio

Cause from the lips of some old singer

We can share the troubles we already know

 

Turn 'em on, turn 'em on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in

And turn them on

 

They reach into your room

Just feel their gentle touch

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

 

If someone else is suffering enough

Oh to write it down

When every single word makes sense

Then it's easier to have those songs around

The kick inside is in the line

That finally gets to you

And it feels so good to hurt so bad

And suffer just enough to sing the blues

 

So turn 'em on, turn 'em on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in

And turn them on

 

They reach into your room

Just feel their gentle touch

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much

 

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say so much

 

So turn 'em on, turn 'em on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in

And turn them on

 

They reach into your room

Just feel their gentle touch

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much

 

When every little bit of hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

When every little bit of hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

"Where Did All the Good Times Go" - Dennis Yost & The Classics IV

 

We lived in the country when I was a child

You lived up the highway, about half a mile

We laughed away the hours, running to and fro

Tell me baby, where did the good times go

 

I can still remember summers in the shade

Winters by the fireplace, the promises we made

You said, you'd always love me

What happened I don't know

Baby, where did all the good times go

 

Where did all the good times go

Where did they go

Tell me, woman, if you know

Where did the good times go

 

I can still remember summers in the shade

Winters by the fireplace, the promises we made

You said you'd always love me

What happened I don't know

Baby, where did all the good times go

 

Where did all the good times go

Where did they go

Tell me, woman, if you know

Where did the good times go

"The River" - PJ Harvey

 

And they came to the river

And they came from the road

And he wanted the sun

Just to call his own

And they walked on the dirt

And they walked from the road

'Til they came to the river

'Til they came up close

 

Throw your pain in the river

Throw your pain in the river

Leave your pain in the river

To be washed away slow

And we walked without words

And we walked with our lives

Two silent birds circled by

 

Like a pain in the river

And the pain in the river

And the white sun scattered

Washed away this slow

 

And we followed the river

And we followed the road

And we walked through this land

And we called it a home

But he wanted the sun

And I wanted the hole

And the white light scatters

And the sun sets low

 

Like a pain in the river

Like a pain in the river

Like a white light scatters

To be washed away slow

 

Like a pain in the river

Like a pain in the river

Like the way life scattered

To be washed away slow

"Unwell" - Matchbox Twenty

 

All day staring at the ceiling

Making friends with shadows on my wall

All night hearing voices telling me

That I should get some sleep

Because tomorrow might be good for something

 

Hold on

Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown

And I don't know why

 

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell

I know right now you can't tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired

I know right now you don't care

But soon enough you're gonna think of me

And how I used to be .. Me

 

I'm talking to myself in public

Dodging glances on the train

And I know, I know they've all been talking about me

I can hear them whisper

And it makes me think

there must be something wrong with me

Out of all the hours thinking

Somehow I've lost my mind

 

[Chorus]

 

I've been talking in my sleep

Pretty soon they'll come to get me

Yeah, they're taking me away

 

[Chorus]

 

Yeah, how I used to be

How I used to be

Well, I'm just a little unwell

How I used to be

How I used to be

I'm just a little unwell

"Breathe" - Melissa Etheridge

 

I played the fool today

I just dream of vanishing into the crowd

Longing for home again

Home is a feeling I buried in you

 

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe

 

And I can't ask for things to be still again

No I can't ask if I could walk through the world in your eyes

Longing for home again

Home is a feeling I buried in you

 

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe

 

My window through which nothing hides

And everything sees

I'm counting the signs

And cursing the miles in between

 

Home

Home is a feeling I buried in you

That I buried in you

 

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe

I'm alright, I'm alright

It only hurts when I breathe

When I breathe

It only hurts when I breathe

When I breathe

Oh, it only hurts when I breathe

I know this thread is meant for motivation or inspiration but my 2 songs are the end result of being motivated and having accomplished a lot and I'm subconsciously proud of myself.  When I am really Happy, Joyful or at complete Peace, before I even notice I'm in that head and heart space I suddenly notice I'm singing Frank Sinatra's High Hopes or from the Disney cartoon of Yogi Bear's "In The Bag".  I am actually singing these in my head or humming maybe over a few hours by the time I consciously say to myself "wow I'm singing/humming I must be really happy!" LOL

 

So here they are if you want to check them out:

 

High Hopes

 

 

In the Bag - The song starts at the 2:17 mark

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoUMvalyV-w

 

I hope you all enjoy them too!

When I am really Happy, Joyful or at complete Peace

 

 

I am actually singing these in my head or humming maybe over a few hours by the time I consciously say to myself "wow I'm singing/humming I must be really happy!" LOL

 

That's terrific, Fiona, I love those words, awesome. 

 

Feel free to drop off whatever speaks to you, it doesn't have to be only motivational/inspirational ... we're all on a roller coaster and this is some heck of a ride so it's to be expected, I guess, that our music choices will also be all over the emotional map.  Music is very therapeutic, comforting, great medicine.

"Last Hope" - Paramore

 

I don't even know myself at all

I thought I would be happy by now

The more I try to push it

I realize gotta let go of control

 

Gotta let it happen, gotta let it happen

Gotta let it happen

So let it happen

 

It's just a spark

But it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out

No one's around

It keeps glowing

 

Every night I try my best to dream

Tomorrow makes it better

And I wake up to the cold reality

Not a thing is changed 

 

But it will happen

Gotta let it happen

Gotta let it happen

Gotta let it happen

 

It's just a spark

But it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out

No one's around

It keeps glowing

 

And the salt in my wounds

Isn't burning anymore than it used to

It's not that I don't feel the pain

It's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore

And the blood in these veins

Isn't pumping any less than it ever has

And that's the hope I have

The only thing I know that's keeping me alive

Alive

 

Gotta let it happen - Gotta let it happen

Gotta let it happen - Gotta let it happen

Gotta let it happen - Gotta let it happen

Gotta let it happen - Gotta let it happen

 

It's just a spark

But it's enough to keep me going

So if I let go of control now

I can be strong

 

It's just a spark

But it's enough to keep me going

So if I keep my eyes closed

With the blind hope

 

And when it's dark out

No one's around

It keeps glowing

"Still Alive" - Social Distortion

 

Well, I remember when we were young

And you said that I was done

Well, I walked the long boulevard

My head hanging down

And the word out on the street

I was back up on my feet

I was fighting the same old wars

Had to even up the score

 

And I’m still alive and I will survive

I can take what life’s got to give

Just need a little time

And I’m still alive

Talking that same old jive

I can handle what comes my way

Just gimme another day

Another day

 

And the times have changed my friend

I’ll be here to the bitter end

With a guitar in my hand I stand a little taller

And I’ve been to hell and back

I ain’t falling off this track

From the back to the front page

From the gutter to the stage

And I’m still alive and I will survive

I can take what life’s got to give

Just need a little time

And I’m still alive

Talking that same old jive

I can handle what comes my way

Just gimme another day

Another day

 

And from town to town I roam

Take me so very far from home

And I woke up one summer day and I fell in love

And the times have changed, my friend

I’ll be here to the bitter end

And I’m here to make my stand

With a guitar in my hand

 

And I’m still alive and I will survive

I can take what life’s got to give

Just need a little time

And I’m still alive

Talking that same old jive

I can handle what comes my way

Just gimme another day

Another day

"Sometimes We Cry"

 

Van Morrison

 

Van Morrison and Tom Jones

https://youtu.be/SckmZTOKBPg

 

Sometimes we know

Sometimes we don't

Sometimes we give

And sometimes we won't

Sometimes we're strong

Sometimes we're wrong

Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we cry

 

Sometimes it's bad

When the going gets tough

And we look in the mirror

And we wanna give up

Sometimes we don't even

Want to try

Sometimes we cry

 

Well we gonna have to sit down

And think it through

If we're only human

What more can we do

The only thing to do

Is eat humble pie

Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we cry

 

For they put me in a jacket

Take me away

I ain't gonna fake it

Not like Johny Rain

Sometimes we live

Sometimes we die

Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we cry

 

Sometimes we can't

See everything straight

Sometimes everybody

Is on the make

Sometimes it's lonely

And we lost our way

Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we cry

 

For they put me in a jacket

And they take me away

I ain't gonna fake it

Not like Johny Rain

Sometimes we live

Sometimes we die

Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we cry

 

Sometimes we cry

 

:'(      :'(

"Where No One Knows Me" - Jann Arden

 

Got my suitcase

Got my dog

I'm packing up my life so far

Got my pictures

Got some cash

I'm getting out of here at last

 

Got my hands on the wheel

Got my foot on the pedal

Gonna drive till I drop

Till the tires turn to metal

Gonna sleep when I'm dead

Gonna laugh like the devil

Gonna find some place

Where no one knows me

 

Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor

Gonna ride till I can't even seem to remember

Who I was when I left and it don't even matter

Gonna find some place where no one knows me

 

Feel the sun burn on my skin

I feel the wind whip through my grin

Tore the rear view mirror down

I wrapped it in my wedding gown

 

Got my hands on the wheel

Got my foot on the pedal

Gonna drive till I drop

Till the tires turn to metal

Gonna sleep when I'm dead

Gonna laugh like the devil

Gonna find some place

Where no one knows me

 

Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor

Gonna ride till I can't even seem to remember

Who I was when I left and it don't even matter

Gonna find some place where no one knows me

"Feel free to drop off whatever speaks to you, it doesn't have to be only motivational/inspirational ... we're all on a roller coaster and this is some heck of a ride so it's to be expected, I guess, that our music choices will also be all over the emotional map.  Music is very therapeutic, comforting, great medicine."

 

 

Thank you for the encouragment and kind words Abcd! 

 

I absolutely agree with you that "Music is very therapeutic, comforting, great medicine".  My 2 specific music choices only happen when I'm basically in bliss.  I have also never shared these tidbits with anyone! LOL  I'm not ashamed, I just know they  are hokey or corney to most people.  To me they signal I have turned a difficult corner.

 

Thank you again for giving me a place to share this!  Sending you Love and Light Abcd!

Nomo and Fiona thank you both for your kind comments about the music and how it moves you as well. Hugs to you both.  I've found so much solace recently in music. That wasn't always the case for many many years music was lost to me, and now it is truly a gift I'm rediscovering. All of this speaks to me deeply and I'm happy if even one song touches someone else. ❤️ I've spent many hours on this thread discovering music. In the spirit of the thread it's what speaks to us on any given day. This one is speaking to me today although I'm sure it's buried here somewhere I'm breaking with tradition and bumping! 

 

 

 

"The World I Know"

 

Collective Soul

 

 

"The World I Know"

 

Has our conscience shown?

Has the sweet breeze blown?

Has all kindness gone?

Hope still lingers on.

I drink myself of newfound pity

Sitting alone in New York City

And I don't know why.

 

Are we listening?

Hymns of offering.

Have we eyes to see?

Love is gathering.

All the words that I've been reading

Have now started the act of bleeding

Into one.

 

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below.

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down.

'Cause it's the world I know.

It's the world I know.
