Crickets Chirping In The Background...

It's been a little quiet in here lately, so here's a new question:

We've talked about our music and who we listen to. What songs are your favorites? What songs have touched your lives in one way or another? What lyrics mean the most to you?

Mine change often, but some that stick out: One of my all time favorites is "Through The Fire" by Chaka Khan. I know, that's going way back, but I remembered my cousin listening to that one alot when I was young, and it's always stuck. The song I posted the lyrics from a while back by Loreena McKennitt sums up my feeling about FC. The Cranberries also have a song called "The Rebels" that sticks out a little. It starts "Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen.
We were the rebels of the rebel scene..." Makes me think of high school.

The song that seems to fit me best is one by Sarah M. called "Elsewhere".

Elsewhere

I love the time
and inbetween
the calm inside me in the space
where I can breathe

I believe there is a distance
I have wandered to touch upon the years of
reaching out
and reaching in
holding out
holding in.

I believe
this is heaven
to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be
left here to linger
in silence
if I
choose to
would you
try to
understand.

I know this love
is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and
hold me near..

I believe..

I believe
this is heaven
to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be
left here to linger
in silence
if I
choose to
would you
try to
understand.

Oh the quiet child
awaits the day
when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation.

Mother
can't you see I've got to
live my life the way I feel is
right for me
might not be right for you but it's
right for me..

I believe...

I believe
this is heaven
to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be
left here to linger
in silence
if I
choose to
would you
try to
understand it.

I would
like to
linger
here in
silence
if I
choose to
would you
try to
understand...

Read the lyrics well - they fit me like no other. Your turn - what songs mean the most to you?

Thanks, Kiley! Sorry to hear that things didn't go as planned - hopefully things will turn out for you in the end. You'll have to keep us posted on that, and stop by more often! ;)

How about anyone else? It's been pretty silent in here lately! Where is everyone? I can still hear the crickets in the dead air...

I may have to do something a little more drastic. Hmmmmmmm
