One of the greatest guitar solos ever.
Free Bird Lynyrd Skynyrd
If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be travelling on, now, There's too many places I haven't seen And if I stayed here with you, now Things just wouldn't be the same Well I'm as free as a bird now, And a bird you can not change. And a bird you can not change. And a bird you can not change. Lord knows I can't change
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love. And though this feeling I can't change. Please don't take it badly, The Lord knows I'm to blame. And, if I stayed here with you now Things just wouldn't be the same. For I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you'll never change. And the bird you can not change. And the bird you can not change. Lord knows, I can't change. Lord help me, I can't change.

Time for another song! And this one is pretty fitting for this time of the year.
A Long December Counting Crows
A long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think that I could be forgiven... I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think you might come to California... I think you should
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m. And talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should

Pretty much anything by the Decemberists is amazing... all of their songs tell a story.
The Shankill Butchers
The Shankill butchers ride tonight You better shut your windows tight Theyre sharpening their cleavers and their knives And taking all their whisky by the pint Cuz everybody knows If you dont mind your mother's words A wicked wind will blow Your ribbons from your curls Everybody moan everybody shake The shankill butchers wanna catch you Awake
They used to be just like me and you They used to be sweet little boys But something went horribly askew Now killing is their only source of joy Cuz everybodys knows...
(repeat)
The shankill butchers on the rise Theyre waiting till the dead of night Theyre picking at their fingers with their knives And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs Cuz everybod knows...
(repeat)
The shankill butchers wanna kill you The shankill butchers wanna cut you The shankill butchers wanna catch you Awake Awake Awake

This song is about drug abuse. There is something really powerful in the chord progression in this song or something. On some days it makes me belt out the tune, and on other days it makes me cry. I don't know. Maybe I am emotionally unstable.
She looks to me Red Hot Chili Peppers
Looks to me like heaven sent No lullaby kids no 5%
Any way you want to cut that cake She's dyin' from the likes of abandonment
Lost in the valley without my horses She needs somebody to hold
It looks to me like heaven Sent this for your roughest night She looks to me She looks to me all right
Who's going to take you home And hold you when things aren't so bright She looks to me She looks to me all right
It's a long walk down those tracks It's a dirty walk in It's a dirty walk back Gonna learn aww way too much Shootin' dope in the back Of a Caddillac Jack
Slow down the road to my back 40 She needs somebody to hold
It looks to me like heaven Sent this for your roughest night She looks to me She looks to me all right
Who's going to take you home And hold you when things aren't so bright She looks to me She looks to me all right
Down in the South seas Give me your mouth please Resuscitation is the way I find me I give you major You give me minor Don't fade away Like an ocean liner Now
Lost in the valley Without my horses No one can tell me What my remorse is
God made this lady That stands before me She needs somebody to hold
She shows the worlds up with a smile And then she throws the fight She looks to me she looks to me All right
Down on the bathroom floor She's searching for another light She looks to me she looks to me All right
It looks to me like heaven Sent this for your roughest night She looks to me She looks to me all right
Who's going to take you home And hold you when things aren't so bright She looks to me She looks to me

I just listened to that a couple of days ago on the radio. Amazing tune!!
Came across this recently, different to my music style but pretty good anyway:
In the End Linkin Park
It starts with One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even mather how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme To explain due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down till the end of the day Clock ticks life away Its so unreal You didnt look out below, Watch the time go right out the window Tryn to hold on Didnt even know, I wasted it all Just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What its meant to be Will, eventually be, A memory of a time, When I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter... I had to fall, to loose it all... But in the end, it doesnt even matter...
One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even mather how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme To remind myself How I tried so hard... Dispite the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me Im surprised it got so far Things arent the way they were before You wouldnt even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end...
You kept everything inside And even though I tried it all fell apart What it meant to be, will Eventually, be a memory of a time When I tried so hard, And got so far, But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall, to loose it all But in the end, it doesnt even matter
Ive put my trust in you Pushed as far, as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know
Ive put my trust, in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know... I tried so hard, And got so far, But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall, to loose it all, But in the end, it doesnt even matter

Black Sabbath Iron Man
Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall? Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head? We'll just pass him there why should we even care?
He was turned to steel in the great magnetic field Where he traveled time for the future of mankind
Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfold
Now the time is here for Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again

Such Great Heights Lyrics ยป The Postal Service
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles In our eyes are mirror images and when We kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate that God himself Did make us into corresponding shapes like Puzzle pieces from the clay True, it may seem like a stretch, but Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled Head when you're away when I am missing you to death When you are out there on the road for Several weeks of shows and when you scan The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, 'come down now,' but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your Machine but the persistent beat it sounded Thin upon listening That frankly will not fly. you will hear The shrillest highs and lowest lows with The windows down when this is guiding you home

I recently watched this again and was reminded of how awesome this is.
Morning Glow Pippin Soundtrack
[PIPPIN] Why won't my hands stop shaking When all the earth is still When ancient ghosts are waking So many steps need taking So many plans need making I think I will I think I will
Morning glow, morning glow Starts to glimmer when you know Winds of change are set to blow And sweep this whole land through Morning glow is long past due
Morning glow fill the earth Come and shine for all you're worth We'll be present at the birth Of old faith looking new Morning glow is long past due
[ALL] Oh, morning glow, I'd like to help you grow
[PIPPIN] We should have started long ago
[ALL] So, morning glow all day long While we sing tomorrow's song Never knew we could be so strong But now it's very clear
[PIPPIN] Morning glow is almost here Morning glow by your light We can make the new day bright And the phantoms of the night Will fade into the past Morning glow is here
[ALL] At last!

Sam Sparro - Black and Gold
If the fish swam out of the ocean and grew legs and they started walking and the apes climbed down from the trees and grew tall and they started talking
and the stars fell out of the sky and my tears rolled into the ocean now i'm looking for a reason why you even set my world into motion
'cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter now i'm filled to the top with fear that it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here then i don't want to be either i wanna be next to you black and gold black and gold black and gold
i looked up into the night sky and see a thousand eyes staring back and all around these golden beacons i see nothing but black
i feel a way of something beyond them i don't see what i can feel if vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real
'cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter now i'm filled to the top with fear that it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here then i don't want to be either i wanna be next to you black and gold black and gold black and gold
The Katy perry and Ellie Goulding versions are great too.

I know that this isn't the most interesting topic we've got here, but I've had this song stuck in my head for three days or something. And then it took me 10 minutes to find this topic again. Boo. I like it when Z sings it to me. Hah.
If I could give all my love Counting Crows
Got a message in my head that the papers had all come, Richard Manuel is dead and the daylight's coming on. I've been wandering through the dark, now I'm standing on the lawn.
If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself but I'm just not coming through, You're a pill to ease the pain of all the stupid things I do. I'm an anchor on the line of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you.
Well, it was cold when I awoke and the day was halfway done, Nearly spring in San Francisco and I cannot feel the sun. You were sleeping next to me, but I knew that you'd be gone.
If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself but I'm just not coming through, You're a pill to ease the pain of all the stupid things I do. I'm an anchor on the line of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you.
Take some time before you go to think of Mondays coming down, And the people that you knew and the ones that aren't around. You've been fading day to day, I've been moving town to town.
If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself but I'm just not coming through, You're a pill to ease the pain of all the stupid things I do. I'm an anchor on the line of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you.
If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself but I'm just not coming through, You're a pill to ease the pain of all the stupid things I do. I'm an anchor on the line of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you.
