Hi Bella,
It is impossible task to name a favourite song, but I would like to share this one with you – it is Moby’s Natural Blues cover by Paolo. It is not as much lyrics (they are quite simple) as Paolo’s powerful performance that never fails to give me chills. I like this particular version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1faa4EOQjBg
[Refrain:]
oh lordy,
trouble so hard
oh lordy,
trouble so hard,
don't nobody know my troubles but God [x2]

went down the hill,
the other day
my soul got happy
and stayed all day

[Refrain]

went in the room,
didn't stay long,
looked on the bed
and brother was dead

[Refrain]

Hi Bella! A song that's one of my favorites and is sooo sad, is Comfortable by John Mayer and i love the lyrics specially the part that he says:
"And she swears that she's artsy but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane"

"I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
you looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave

I can't remember what went wrong last September
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to

our love was comfortable and so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve,
say "she's gonna be good for you"
they throw me high fives
she says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
your mouth was so dirty

life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
or so they say

she thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
grey sweatpants
no makeup
so perfect

our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you back "

Proud to be Paolete! "You make it easier when life gets hard"

Aw they are beautiful lyrics Big Grin

I have to say this song is probably my favourite lyrics wise.

Evermore- Light Surrounding you.

I see you by the water
You toes dipped in the sand,
I thought that it was over
I thought you'd understand,
But the feeling is returning
The time has made us change,
And i understand if you dont
Wanna talk to me about it,
Tonight

Cos i see the light surrounding you,
So dont be afriad of something new

Time was overtaking me and i guess i was confused
They were all inviting me but i wish i had refused
Cos i've been there before,
An i've seen it all,
And i believe,
In you,
And if you never had my heart
I would have never called you back, at the start that night,
So i want you to know,

That I see the light surrounding you
So dont be afraid of something new
Yeah I see the light surrounding you
SO dont be afraid of what your turning into..

When I find lyrics in songs that I love its mostly just a line or two that strikes something in me... this is my favourite line from a song:-

"Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees"


the song is called A Thousand Tree's by Stereophonics. They just seem to stick with me and whenever anyone ever asks what my fav lyrics are these are the ones that come first to mind Smiler

Hello there,
just thouhgt of James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover". The lyrics are so deep and powerful, i couldn't hold my tears back first 10 times i listened to it.

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Have you ever met a man who could express himself like this???

It is very sad. I read somewhere that he recorded it locked in the bathroom of his rental apartment in Hollywood (must have been some bathroom, with piano in it) because he couldn't do it in the studio, surrounded by all those people. I have a DVD with his BBC sessions. When he performed this song, he was so overcome with emotion, there were tears in his eyes. In his interviews he laughs and jokes, but i am sure this is just a bravado and deep inside he is a very sensitive and passionate man.
