Music Speaks When Words Fail

I’ve done this before, a long time ago, in an old blog. But one of my noters just did this and I felt inspired. So many times, when you can’t find the words to express what you are feeling and/or thinking, you don’t have to, because somebody has already done it far better than you ever could have. And they did it through song and music and published it to the world–shared it with you to share with others and to find company where otherwise you may have felt solitude.

Simply, if you know the song and artist, leave the number and your response. I will cross them out and add the answers as they are answered correctly. Just a little not-so-mindless fun to get my head away from the distressing thoughts of tax season.

1.If that’s all you will be, you’ll be a waste of time. You’ve dreams a thousand dreams. None seem to stick in your mind. Two Points for Honesty, by Guster

2. Breakfast where the news is read. Television, children fed. Unborn living, unborn dead.  Bullet strikes the helmet’s head. Unknown Soldier by The Doors

5. If I lay here, If I just lay here. Would you lie with me, and just forget the world?Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

6. Did lovers really fall in love to stay? And stand beside each other, come what may? Did families really bow there heads to pray? Did Daddies really never go away?

7. I bet you’re in a bar. Listening to a country song. Glass of Johnny Walker red. With no one to take you home. Last Call by Lee Ann Womack

8. Well I hate to be a bother, but it’s you and there’s no other, I do believe. Call me naive. Well, I know me very well, at least, as far as I can tell, and I know what I need.

9. And when you walk, walk with pride. Don’t show the hurt inside, because the pain will soon be gone.

10. Got to tell each other how we feel, leaving nothing inside. Give me your heart and I will give you mine.

11. And you hate the silence, as it fills up the room. And there’s not much to say, to your blushing groom.

15. You can love someone with all your heart, for all the right reasons. In a moment they can choose to walk away.

16. Something in your eyes, makes me want to lose myself. Makes me want to lose myself, in your arms. There’s something in your voice, makes my heart beats fast. I hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life.

Til next time, I bid you adieu. Good luck! Ciao, bella.
