Someone posted some song lyrics from "No Doubt" earlier and it made me think about "theme songs" during these difficult times. What songs keep you motivated? What songs really hit home?<p>This website has lots of lyrics to songs
http://www.lyrics.astraweb.com/<p>Here are mine for now:<p>Theme song "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his Audi
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching T.V.<p>I don't have digital
I don't have diddley squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got<p>I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up<p>I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun<p>I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it'd take
To win me some of your love<p>Every time I turn around
I'm lookin' up, you're lookin' down
Maybe somethin's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too<p>I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up<p>I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame, I'm lookin' up<p>I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got my 45 on so I can rock on <p>Hit Home songs "To love you more" by Celine Dion especially when you are plan A'ing<p>Take me, back into the arms I love
Need me, like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more
Don't go, you know you will break me heart
She won't, love you like I will
I'm the one who'll stay
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still <p>I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more <p>See me, as if you never knew
Hold me, so you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know <p>I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more <p>And some way, all the love that
We had can be saved
Whatever it takes, we'll find a way <p>Believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know <p>I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
Can't you see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

The other song that I'm hoping my WH will listen more closely to is that new Luther Vandross song:<p>I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone(alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart<p>I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah<p>And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart<p>I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart<p>I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,<p>I'd rather have bad times with(please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else(I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm(anytime),
than safe and warm by myself(so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart(my heart)<p>I'd rather have bad times with you(surely),
than good times with someone else(surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm(oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself(all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart(you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart<p>I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo.....who holds my heart

WH has deemed this our "theme" song...kind of interesting since it's actually about a "someone else" treating the woman poorly...in this case, the someone else is the abducted alien WH! Anyhow, I love hearing H sing it to me... though I told him I would like for him to prove his love even after I'm sure he's "the one" [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] <p>GARY ALLAN (country)<p>The One<p>No rush though I need your touch
I won't rush your heart
Until you feel on solid ground
Until your strength is found, girl<p>I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"<p>Somebody else was here before
He treated you unkind
And broken wings need time to heal
Before a heart can fly, girl<p>I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"<p>Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true
All I want to do is give the best of me to you
And stand beside you<p>Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Chris Cagle---(Country)<p>Lately I've been runnin'
Into our old friends
And somewhere in the small talk
Someone always asks where you've been
So I tell them what you told me
And they can't believe we're through
They ask me what I'm doin' now
And in case you're wonderin' too<p>I breathe in I breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time
'Til you find
I'm that someone you can't live without
Until then
I breathe in and breathe out<p>I've got every reason
To find someone new
Cause you swore up and down to me
That I've seen the last of you
But the way that you loved me
Girl, left me hopin' and holdin' on
So until this world stops turning round
And my heart believes you're gone<p>I breathe in I breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time
'Til you find
I'm that someone you can't live without
Until then
I breathe in and breathe out<p>We were meant to be
Girl, there's no doubt
And if it takes the rest of my life
For you to figure it out

<strong>What songs keep you motivated? What songs really hit home?</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Here's 2 songs that put a smile of a my face and a tear to my eyes. The first one in my FWS's song to me, the second is my song to her. <p>WIND BENEATH MY WINGS
by Bette Midler<p>Oh, oh, oh, oh -
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.<p>So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.<p>Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.<p>It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.<p>Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.<p>Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.<p>Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<p>And mine to her:<p>IN MY LIFE
by the Beatles<p>There are places I'll remember,
all my life though some have changed.
Some forever not for better,
some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments,
with lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
in my life I've loved them all.<p>But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you,
and these memories lose their meaning,
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection,
for people and things that went before.
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
in my life I love you more.<p>Though I know I'll never lose affection,
for people and things that went before.
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
in my life I love you more.<p>In my life I love you more.

Okay:<p>I keep quoting lyrics from the Moody Blues to these threads. Here's part of "Question."<p>"It's not the way, that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way, that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.<p>I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew, you'd safely lead me through.<p>Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea,
There lies the land I once lived in,
And she's waiting there for me.
But in the gray of the morning
my mind becomes confused,
Between the dead, and the sleeping,
And the road that I must choose.<p>I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew.
You'd safely lead me to
The land that I once knew,
To learn as we grow old,
The secrets of our souls.<p>It's not the way that you say it,
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way you really mean it,
When you tell me what will be."<p>Justin Hayward, vocals, has been M'd to the same woman longer than I have been with my W. What a guy!

yikes...I typed in Luther in the morpheus engine to try and download the song to hear it...I didn't know the name so I picked a few... here's a hint "don't listen to "If loving you is wrong..." Talk about a trigger and WS fog theme song...holy cow!!!!

Hi folks here is a theme for me and H> He acknowledged that it spoke to him but won't do anything about it at the moment.
If human hearts are often tender,
And human hearts can pity know,
If human love is touched with splendour
And human nhands compassion show<p>Then how much more shall God our Father
In love forgive,In love forgive.<p>If sometimes men can live for others
And sometimes give when gifts are spurned
And sometimes treat their foes as brothers
And love where love is not returned.<p>Then how much more shall God our Father
In love forgive, In love forgive.<p>If men will often dshare their gladness
If men respond when children cry
If men can feel each others sadness.
Each others tears attempt to dry.<p>Then how much more shall God our Father
In love forgive, In love forgive.<p>Taken from a musical based on the story of Hosea.
Jante.
ps 2LOVE Justin Hayward is my H,s second cousin!

This song (sung by Jaci Valasquez) has helped me to realize that I've got to give this all to God and let him do what He does best - make something good out of something evil.<p>
You are the one, there's no one else
Who lifts me up and gives me water from the well.
But there's a hole that seems to drain it all away.
And once again I'm left in fear and doubt
When all my strength is crying out.<p>So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?<p>The evil wind, it blows a storm to rock my world
Just when think I'm safe and warm.
I'm led astray far too easily.
It's always hard for me to say I'm wrong,
Until I know I can't go on.<p>So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?<p>Lord, You have searched me and know
When I sleep and when I rise.
You're familiar with all my ways.
Even the darkness will shine
Like the day when You look into my heart.<p>So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain,
Like a flower in the rain?

I never paid much attention to the words of this song until I read them - crazy isn't it?<p>Artist: Celine Dion

Title: It's All Coming Back To Me Now<p>
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window<p>There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever<p>I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made<p>But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)<p>There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby<p>If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back<p>There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper<p>There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever<p>But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then<p>But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)<p>There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby<p>When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now<p>If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
Al coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now<p>(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...
