Songs That Seem To" Speak" to You

[Ghost2004]

Since music is such a powerful means of expressing emotion, evoking feeling of time and place, I was wondering if anyone here had a song or songs that almost seem to "speak" to them personally.

For me, one such song is the song I have in my Sig, "Beauty" by the Canadian Folk-Rock female trio Shaye(www.shayemusic.com), a song about change and growing. About a month ago I heard that song on the radio,while I was going through a pretty rough time, and for some reason, just HEARING it uplifted me, both the melody and lyrics....another such song is Evenescences " My Immortal" and also as strange as it may seem Guns N Roses November Rain...,also 32 Flavors by Ani Difranco.

I was wondering if anyone else had songs of any genere, that at one time or another seemed to have a message for them, or carried special significence.

Mine's in my siggy, too...

...but there's literally hundreds of pieces of music that "speak" to me that way.

"Affirmation" by Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

Not so much a song that speaks TO me, but one that definitely speaks FOR me. If only more people shared these same beliefs.

My Immortal speaks to me as well....

When I first heard that song.... WOW.

There are a lot of gospel songs that speak to me (obviously), however, another song that speaks to me right at the moment is "Feels Like Home" by CHANTAL KREVIAZUK. I first heard that song when a very special person entered my life. It's kind of like... MY SONG now. Or our song.

I'm so cheesy. LOL

My Sacrifice by Creed

 

[Dave2112]

As most of my friends know, I already have arrangements for Peter Gabriel's "Solisbury Hill" to be played at my funeral, whenever that may be. It's my signature song.

Other songs that speak to me and synch up with my life:

The entire Marillion concept-album "Misplaced Childhood".

Billy Joel's "The Entertainer"

Asia's "My Own Time"

Finger Eleven's "One Thing" (Which is currently in my sig...one of those thoughts about giving it all away for one true thing...which is currently this little hottie I have a serious thing for...🙄 )

Rik Emmett's solo tune "Middle Ground" (Which goes along with my personal philosophy about balance in all things)

Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life"
