Ok I'll start.

It Was a Very Good Year-Frank Sinatra

Fave Line

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stairs
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

So Strong by Labi Siffre.

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it.

(mainly because I've flaming got to)

Mandy by Barry Manilow

Well you came and you gave without taking

But I sent you away Oh Mandy

Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking

And I need you today Oh Maney

It reminds me of every pet I ever had to have euthanize.

Ordinary World

What is happening to me?

Crazy some're saying

Where is my friend 

When I need you most?

Gone away....

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's any ordinary world

Somehow I have to find....

This song came out in the winter of '93 a little over a year after my daddy died.  It helped me feel less alone in my grief both then and now since mom has died as well.

I like a lot of Sting's music and I like the way he has worked the lyric "It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet" into a few of his songs.

I like the line in the song, You  Ougtha Know by Alanis Morrisette, "Did you forget about me, Mr Duplicity?"

Good break-up song.

Something topical for this time of year.  As you may remember MLK was killed on April 4.  Here are several lines from U2's Pride (In The Name of Love) that always bring tears to my eyes, I can't even speak:

Early morning, April 4

Shot rings out in the Memphis sky

Free at last, they took your life

They could not take your pride.

With or Without You, also by U2 was released about 30 years ago, in Feb. 1987.

Love these first lines

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait, without you

With or without you
With or without you

Another good one. U2's lyrics are always deep and thought provoking. I love that.

...you can't jump the track

we're like cars on a cable

and life's like an hourglass

glued to the table...

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what
You got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot

Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell

Manic Monday-written by Prince, performed by The Bangles

Six o'clock this mornin' I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
I can't be late because then I just won't get paid
These are the days you wish your bed was already made

Just another manic Monday
wish it were Sunday that's my fun day


Love this song! So upbeat and sweet.

Steely Dan- The Caves of Altamira

Great song with a lush, dreamy vibe. Like a lot of the stuff they did....sublime...

fav lyrics-

I recall when I was small
How I spent my days alone
The busy world was not for me
So I went and found my own
