Great songs Caged. I've always loved the Train song you posted. In fact I was thinking of it just yesterday! Here is a song offering from me...

Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting high, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell that is wasted on the shores

On the blackest planes in hells domain
We watch them as they go
Through fire, pain and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the lights are so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They raise their hands to the heavens above
As we send them to their lies
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from the time in the fallen land
To a light beyond the stars

In your blackest dreams we do believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time is gone

Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the lights are so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We've fought so hard now can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the lights are so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Yes, I am drinking yet again but no, I 'm not driving. Thanks for your concern. Now Let the Fantasy Begin....With The Boss and a song called "The Fuse"......

Down at the court house they're ringin' the flag down
Long black line of cars snakin' slow through town
Red sheets snappin' on the line
With this ring will you be mine
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right

Trees on fire with the first fall's frost
Long black line in front of Holy Cross
Blood moon risin' in a sky of black dust
Tell me Baby who do you trust?
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right

Tires on the highway hissin' that something's coming
You can feel the wires in the tree tops hummin'
Devil's on the horizon line
Your skin and I'm alive

Quiet afternoon in the empty house
On the edge of the bed you slip off your blouse
The room is burning with the noon sun
Your bittersweet taste on my tongue
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right

"Afterglow" By INXS

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

TRAIN-CALLING ALL ANGELS

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

[Chorus:]
And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you dont give up [Reapeat x4]

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

[Chorus]

When children have to play inside so they don't disappear
And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years
And futbol teams are kissing Queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours

[Chorus x2]

Calling all you angels [Repeat till fade]

Maybe I'm just jaded... I read an article about how she she had to overcome alot . How nothing was handed to her on a silver platter at all. It went on to say that despite her persona, She was a pretty down to earth chick.

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Probably only a parent can appreciate how funny a song like "That don't impress me much" sung by a bunch of budding 12yr old babettss can be..... especially when the group of them know that one of the mom's (Me) has a hankering for Nic Cage and they then go out of their way to change the lyrics to tease me! Ya just gotta love the little darlings! LOL!

As far as Shania Twain.....she's had a couple of good songs including "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" (picture that one sung by the group of babettes). The thing about Shania is that I truly appreciate all that it took for her to suceed in her dreams. She had a rough, rough life and was thrust into adulthood way before any kid should be and yet, she made it. I respect that. Greatly.

Probably why I also respect Nic so much.

Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs

I feel like new-born
And I feel like a new-born
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real

Could you take my picture

I don't believe in
I don't believe in your sanctity; your hypocrisy
I don't believe in
I don't believe in sanctity or hypocrisy
Can everyone agree that no one should be left alone
Can everyone agree that they should not be left alone
And I feel like a new-born
And I feel like a new-born (kicking and screaming)

Could you take my picture
Cuz I won't remember

Shania Twain.. Your daughter switching the name to Nic... I guess you had to be there..... I don't have kids or it might be hilariious to be sure....Shania Twain Hmmmmmm( as hot as she looks) really doesn't help me at all.... I'm sorry....This is a joke right?...I guess she has a couple of songs that are OK ( to people that live in Kansas or that are Canadian) One of my ex-boyfriends just absolutely thought she was a great musician and entertainer. And she is a great "Entertainer" but if you try and tell me she is an accomplished musician or a musician at all for that matter" We're going to have a problem.... But she is pretty.

Time for ...

The English Beat

Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry cry but I don't need my mother
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it.

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later don't run away and let me down.
Sooner or later you hit the deck you get found out
Save it for later don't run away and let me down, you let me down.

Black air and seven seas all rotten through
But what can you do?

I don't know how I'm meant to act with all of you lot
Sometimes I don't try
I just now now now now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now now now now

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later don't run away and let me down.
Sooner or later you hit the deck you get found out
Save it for later don't run away and let me down
You runaway runaway and let me down.

Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this
Don't bother trying to explain them
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it.

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later don't run away and let me down.
Sooner or later you'll hit the deck you'll get found out
Save it for later don't runaway and let me down, you let me down.
You run away run away runaway runaway runaway runaway
And let me down.

ROTFLMWAO......I just had to share this on this site since we've been sharing music (both songs that remind us of Nic and just plain good music). I already mentioned my 12 yr old daughter has been listening to alot of country with her girlfriends. Well, they've taken to videotaping themselves singing various songs and also to putting on little acts whenever they have an audience. The other day, my daugher and two of her friends decided to treat me to their personal rendition of Shania Twain's song THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH.....but guess whose name they put in the song instead of Brad Pitt's??? Envision now....three pre-teens singing their hearts out this song....

My daughter apparently has my absurd sense of humor.....Gotta love it! And my burning question is.....Does Nic have "the touch"????

Hope someone is laughing with me......

THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCHWritten by Twain/Lange

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius -- you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all

Bridge:
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much

So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve -- just in case
All that extra hold gell in his hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid that it should fall out of place

(Bridge)

Okay, so you're Nic Cage
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me -- you must be jokin', right!

(Bridge)
Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night

That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

Okay, so what do you think you're Elvis or something...
Boy that hurt
That don't impress me much

Yes get "Wild Wood" album bellabon, its fantastic..accoustic and folky with superb lyrics and arrangements. I think it is his best album followed by "Heliocentric" from 2000.

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Hey I just heard a new version on a jazz/blue's station of NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE. About a month ago I posted the Gloria Gaynor version. Here are the lyrics to the newest version....a bit different....Enjoy

Never Can Say Goodbye

I Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Even though the pain and heartache
seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
they always seems to show,

Then you try to say you're leaving me
and I always have to say no,
tell me why is it so.

That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Everytime I think I've had enough
and start heading for the door,
There's a very strange vibration
piercing me right through the core,
It says, "Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and more."
Tell me why is it so.

Don't wanna let go.
Never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo baby.
Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Oh, I never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo.

I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

I keep thinking that our propblems
soon are all gonna work out.
But there's that same unhappy feeling,
there's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's the same old dizzy hangup,
can't do with you or without.
Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go.

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Wild? Great song! From the lyrics alone, I'll probably pick up this CD. Thanks for sharing! Can anyone else suggest some music for me to checkout? Thanks, Bella

One more! This is called Wings Of Speed

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,

To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.

Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile -

Hi bellebon!

The song is called "Country" by the brilliant/legendary Paul Weller from his 1993 album Wild Wood. Beautiful song, beautiful album.

This is another of my faves by him, called "Frightened", im sure we have all felt this way at times.

I shake and fall
Underneath my sheets
The sunlight creeping
From my head down to my feet
Telling me to rise
And face the light again

2.
I plead to dawn
"Don't make me move"
I just want to vanish
And forget all that's true
Just one more night
And i'll be alright

Br.
Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told - I'm not that bold - at all

Ch.
I'm more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

3.
I'm gonna get it back
I'm gonna get it soon
I've just got to catch up
For my world to resume
To be light
And to hold you tight while you dream

4.
And I stand alone
So does everyone
It brings us closer together
As a strange distant sum
So near so far, like shining stars

Br.
Hoping to be everything you want
Wish I was the man that you thought I was
Waiting to fly up on eagles wings
But truth be told - I'm not that bold - at all

Ch.
I'm just frightened
Woke up this morning like that
And all the roads that lead back
Lead me nothing that is nowhere
-Lonely

Ch.
-And just a little more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

Well, personally, I'm not usually into country music. But my daughter seems to be. Her best friend's dad listens to it all the time and that's how she came to bring home a Rascal Flatts CD. She plays it constantly and I found myself enjoying the music so much that I picked up a CD at Target the other day to listen to in the car or on a walk.

To answer your question, apparently the band is comprised of three main guys who do play instruments. I guess they are THE up and coming huge Country band. Check out this link for more info:

CagedIn · Senior Member

Rascal flatts.. Forgive me But Iam just not familiar with their work. I'm sorry. They are country .. I know that much about them,. But, To be honest,,, heard of them but not really....

Do they actually play any instruments???? I honestly don't know. Does either one of them play anything??? Please enlighten me... Rascall FDlatts.. With a name like that, .... I don't know.... They have better be good for something..... Who are they.???? Guess I'm just not hip to the new country genre.....

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Duh! Sorry Wild....I now see you listed it further along in the thread. Thanks again. B

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Wild at Heart?

Please, could you tell me what the name is of the song or who the band is who plays the song you listed "I know a place not far from here"????

Thanks, Bella

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Heck....I've referenced so many songs by the Rascal Flatts, I thought I'd just share the link to their lyrics...LOL!

http://www.elyrics.net/song/r/rascal-flatts-lyrics.html

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Here's another Rascal Flatts song that most people can identify with....a sorta 'When the going get's tough, the tough get going' kind of song or an....'It will be alright' kinda song......

STAND

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright

[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

[Repeat Chorus]

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Ooohhh

[Repeat Chorus]

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Great song Caged! And very true. It's the memories that will kill ya...

My daughter has been listening to alot of Rascal Flatts lately. They have a new song out called "What Hurts the Most" that hits the spot and another one called "Words I Couldn't Say", both of them lovesongs about memories and regrets. This is another one I like of theirs...on a different note....about when someone realizes it's time to move on in life :)

I'M MOVING ON

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

bellabenbon- How about this......

AUDIOSLAVE

"Doesn't Remind Me"

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

[Chorus]
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

Bellabenbon · Senior Member

Here's a song we can probably all relate to.

HE WAS MY STRONGEST WEAKNESS....Wynonna

The keeper of the gates of wisdom, please let me in
'Cause I just can't go through another heartache again
Pretty lies and alibis how could I be so blind
Now all alone and scared to stay
Slowly going out of my mind
He was my strongest weakness
I surrendered heart and soul
It's gonna be a long, long time 'til I regain control
I'm still a prisoner held captive by his memory
He was my strongest weakness and I'm afraid he'll always be
I gave my faithful hear to someone, I couldn't understand
How he held my little world in the palm of his hand
Now he's gone and life goes on so if the pain will ever end
Will I be afraid to risk it all
If I fall in love again

He was my strongest weakness

When Love Comes To Town...

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

I used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town

I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town

When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

[Repeat Chorus]

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide

When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

The Boss

New Jersey Turnpike, ridin' on a wet night `neath the refin'ry's glow
Out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration: I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience `bout the things that I done

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's been both'rin' me my whole life
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me

In the wee, wee hours your mind get hazy
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby
The radio's jammed up with talk show stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me

Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
