fallennon Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 My great grandfather and I were very close. He died in 96 and I have missed him dearly. My cousin used to produce music videos in the 80s. He did work for Debbie Gibson and the like. Anyway, when my GG died he made a video of his life from pics taken in the early 1900s (he was born in 1900) up until he died and he played this song. Every time I hear it I cannot help but feel like my GG is hugging me. My mom says the same thing. I have decided to post the lyrics and share my memory. If anyone else has a memory I think it would be neat to see and read the lyrics. Here it goes: What a wonderful world I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom from me and you But I think to myself what a wonderful world (yeah) I see skies of blue, clouds of white bright blessed days, dark sacred nights but i think to myself what a wonderful world The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shakin' hands saying "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you" I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know But I think to myself what a wonderful world I think to myself what a wonderful world Hey, yeah, wonderful, wonderful world The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shakin' hands saying "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you" I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know But I think to myself what a wonderful world I think to myself what a wonderful world Hey, yeah, wonderful, wonderful world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDead Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 when my grandma died she wanted them to play john lennon's imagine at her funeral. and honestly i don't think they did. i can't remember cuz it was one of those things that was too unreal to really remember. so i made it my wedding song when i got married years later. and when we were dancing to it i imagined she was there too at my wedding watching us. john lennon - imagine Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneDead Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 this one just makes me think just about most anything in life. not really one certain person. my dad also read it at my grandma's funeral. it was a reminder to me that everything that happens - has to happen. it helped me deal with some things better than i normally may have. not that i handle things like death all that well to begin with. the byrds- turn, turn, turn To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, a time to die. A time to plant, a time to reap. A time to kill, a time to heal. A time to laugh, a time to weep. To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to build up, a time to break down. A time to dance, a time to mourn. A time to cast away stones. A time to gather stones together. To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven. A time of love, a time of hate. A time of war, a time of peace. A time you may embrace. A time to refrain from embracing. To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to gain, a time to lose. A time to rend, a time to sow. A time for love, a time for hate. A time for peace, I swear it's not too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Starrr Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Four years ago, when Wayne first found out he had cancer, we weren't together. We had broken up a month or so before. He called me to tell me that he had it, and the only song I could hear was Dido's "Here With Me". He thinks of me every time he hears "Angel" by Sara McLachlan. I've sung it to him many times, including at our wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneDead Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 genesis- throwing it all away Need I say I love you Need I say I care Need I say that emotion's, Something we don't share I don't want to be sitting here trying to deceive you Cos you know I know baby I don't wanna go. We cannot live together We cannot live apart That's the situation I've known it from the start Every time that I look at you I can see the future Cos you know I know baby I don't wanna go. Throwing it all away Throwing it all away Is there nothing that I can say To make you change your mind I watch the world go round and round And see mine turning upside down You're throwing it all away. Who'll light up the darkness Who will hold your hand Who will find you the answers When you don't understand Why should I have to be the one Who has to convince you Cos you know I know baby That I don't wanna go. Some day you'll be sorry Someday when you're free Memories will remind you That our love was meant to be Late at night when you call my name The only sound you'll hear Is the sound of your voice calling Calling after me. Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away There's nothing I can say You're throwing it all away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallennon Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 That actually reminded me of an ICP song that reminds me of someone...don't ask it's a long story... "Under The Moon" I'm still here under the moon [2x] [Violent J] I was just a child but you seemed like so much more The way you would approach me and drift across the floor I'd see you in the hall, and you'd kiss me with a smile I never understood it, was I even worth your while? The others kids at school, they would hate me and they'd spit Cuz I was just a no one, to them I wasn't shit But you would always help me and stand there by my side We were only seventeen, we'd be together till we died But then it all happened on the ever dreadful day Somebody tried to rape you and now I'll make him pay You pointed him out to me, my thoughts began to race I took my daddy's forty-five and shot him in the fucking face!!! I did it all for you, and though I'm facing years I would do the time just to equal all your tears The last thing that you told me when I left the courtroom Is that we'd always be together, cuz we're both under the moon [Chorus (1x)] I'll forever love you, even if you're doomed We'll always be together cuz we're both under the moon [Violent J] I sit here in my cell and the walls are made of stone I justified your pain, but now I sit alone I write another letter, I write one every day I never got a letter back, I write em anyway I try to call collect, your number has been changed I'm staring at the lightbulb and I start to feel the rage You never came to visit me, I sit facing the glass No one's on the other side, now it's in the past My head is always spinning, I'm pounding at the wall I feel like I'm forgotten, no sign of you at all You're probably getting married, you're probably getting fucked I'll break out of this cage and try to cut that motherfucker up I curl up in the corner, my body will corrode My teeth are turning into dust, skin is growing mold I'm staring at the window of my eternal doom I know that you are out there, somewhere underneath the moon [Chorus (1x)] [Violent J] Many, many years, many more to go Does she still remember? God, he only know I now become a savage, they chain me to a wall I still can see your body, I still can hear your call I'm nothing but a maggot, I'm locked away and lost The world it doesn't want me, my dignity is tossed And to the girl for whom I feel this doom Look here, fuck you and the moon Hey! Fuck you and the moon [5x] [Chorus (8x)] I'm still here under the moon I'm still here under the moon (still under the moon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) Brian sang this in my ear the first time we ever danced together, as the house band butchered it, at the time i had long blonde hair and i was wearing a red dress it was just too perfect. Over the years other parts of the song have mirrored some of our own real life, Last night i was at work and i saw the commercial with eric clapton and the woman in the closet picking out her cloths and i instanly thought of brian. Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes. And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you. It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed. And then I tell her, as I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

LuluVox Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 One night about 2 years ago, my friend Justin and I were driving back to my house, when we were nearly killed by a huge van that came tearing around a curve. We just happened to be listening to There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths: take me out tonight where there's music and there's people and they're young and alive driving in your car i never never want to go home because i haven't got one anymore take me out tonight because i want to see people and i want to see life driving in your car oh, please don't drop me home because it's not my home it's their home and i'm welcome no more and if a double-decker bus crashes into us to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die and if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us to die by your side well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine take me out tonight take me anywhere, i don't care i don't care, i don't care and in the darkened underpass i thought 'oh god, my chance has come at last' but then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask take me out tonight oh, take me anywhere, i don't care i don't care, i don't care driving in your car i never never want to go home because i haven't got one oh, i haven't got one and if a double-decker bus crashes into us to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die and if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us to die by your side well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine oh, there is a light and it never goes out there is a light and it never goes out there is a light and it never goes out there is a light and it never goes out there is a life and it never goes out there is a light and it never goes out there is a light and it never goes out there is a life and it never goes out there is a light and it never goes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDead Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 when my husband and i were talking about getting married we were listening to my cars record at his house. and this song came on and now it makes me think of him. and i remind him it wasn't the ribbons in his hair.

Fierce Critter Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 My grandfather died when that "An American Tail" Fievel the mouse cartoon came out.

Fierce Critter Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Oh, a couple more. When Jon first moved to Michigan, he was living in a little hotel. We had a bit of a spat, and I went home and sulked in bed, thinking about what a jerk he was being. Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" video came on, and I got to crying. Happy ending, though. Also, long story, but while still living in that motel, Jon's motorcycle died, which set off a string of events that might have led to our separation due to him having to move back to Florida. While discussing this, OMD's "If You Leave" came on the radio and it was just too freakin' coincidental & appropriate, and I made him shut the damned radio off. No way I can hear those songs and not remember those incidents now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuluVox Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Okay, now I'm feeling all dramatic. The song Smokey by Red House Painters reminds me of someone, who, in the grand scheme of things, was not a very prominent person in my life, but they once included this song on a mix they made me, and I always got the feeling they were trying to tell me something. But of course they never did. People are lame. But anyway, it's my favorite Red House Painters song: Smokey I'm broken down You caved my karma in I'm staying up Waiting for you like a fool You made me forget About all the dreams I kept I keep your glass hand By the bed we slept I can't erase your smokey eyes Your smothered face Gripping on my waist Leaving a ghost Upon the Oregon Coast And on the floors Of a crashes porch Who can pretend That there's a beginning without an end? It ain't contrived All this magic in our lives Comes down like a storm Then drizzles then dies Your soul is free But you're the one I need And you made your deal But you're still my ideal And so I wait And so I choose this fate And store your shed In my electric bed Who can pretend That there's a beginning without an end? It ain't contrived All the magic in our lives Comes down like a storm Then drizzles then dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDead Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 my grandma always liked watching that show with dennis miller and it started off with tears for fears everybody wants to rule the world. that song makes me think of her all the time. when my uncle died smashing pumpkins song drown was out. that makes me think of him. No matter where you are I can still hear you when you drown You’ve traveled very far Just to see you I’ll come around When I’m down All of those yesterdays Coming around No matter where you are I can still hear you when you dream You traveled very far You traveled far, like a star And you are All of those yesterdays Coming around Is it something someone said?
