Songtexte die uns bewegen Die Lyric des 20.Jahrhunderts

Dieser Tread ist für Leute die bei der Musik nicht nur auf den Sound, sondern auch auf die manchmal viel zu wenig beachteten Texte hören...
Jedes Lied vermittelt ja eine bestimmte Botschaft, die nicht zuletzt dem Text zu verdanken ist.

Habt ihr ein Lied, welches es euch angetan habt, eine Texststelle, die ihr Tag und Nacht singt?
Dann her damit!

Ich fang gleich mal an:

Marillion mit Kaylei

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair
By the way didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine
Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And Kayleigh could we get it together again?
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars
Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park
Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow
Do you remember you never understood I had to go
By the way, didn't I break your heart
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry
But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong

Kenne auch einen schönen...

If you could see the lover in me
And we could join our hands together,
If you could see how good it could be,
We'll sing these stupid songs forever,
Can you feel it?
Love is here,
It has never been so clear,
You can't love what you have not,
So hold on to what you've got,
Is trudy really smiling for me?
I'd change my name in case she found me,
trembling and I can't believe,
I've got to leave the girl behind me,
Can you feel it?
Love is here,
It has never been so clear,
You can't love what you have not,
So hold on to what you've got,
Can you feel it?
Love is here,
It has never been so clear,
You can't love what you have not,
So hold on to what you've got,

If you could see the aching in me
I'd change my name in case you lost me,
trembling down to my knees,
I've got to leave the world behind me,
Can you feel it?
Love is here,
It has never been so clear,
You can't love what you have not,
So hold on to what you've got,
Feel it, love is here
Can you feel it?
Love is here
Can you feel it?
Love is here,
Can you feel it?
Love is here.

@Amica: Von wem is das Lied denn?

So, hab auch noch was schönes. Mein absolutes Lieblingslied. Vll kennts ja einer.

"The Dolphin's Cry" von Live

The way you're bathed in light
reminds me of that night
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust
and I was swept away
with nothin' left to say
some helpless fool
yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
you're all I need to find
so when the time is right
come to me sweetly, come to me
come to me

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

oh yeah, we meet again
it's like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?
this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe
let me breathe so that I
so we can go together!

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

life is like a shooting star
it don't matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over

over
over
singin' la da da, da da da
over
come to me
singin' la da da da, da da da
come to me

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the door way
I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed their spreading
Blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
These things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
Yeah I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up

And you said, "This is the first day of my life."
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy
So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
we'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a pay check
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean, I really think you like me


- Bright Eyes // The first day of my life -

@Amica: Ist von Starsailor, nich war?
@DasKaddi: Meiner Meinung nach der beste Song des letzten Jahres!


Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

@*Ftd: Dieser Song ist einfach mal der Hammer, finde die Versionen von Jeff Buckley und Lucky Jim aber irgendwie besser

eigentlich bin ich zwar zu cool, um von sowas touched zu werden... aber: Scheiß drauf!

THE LAST UNICORN
When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest
Though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn

When the first breath of winter
Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear her laughter
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive

When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future is past
Without even a last desparate warning
Look into the sky where through
The clouds a path is formed
Look and see her how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive... I'm alive

Wie man bei dem Lied "cool" bleiben kann das frag ich mich!!!!

@Giovanni: Aaaaah, wie geil, der Titelsong zu meinem Lieblingsfilm meiner Kindheit...

I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark
When I heard the sprinklers whisper
Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns
Then I heard the children singing
They were running through the rainbows
They were singing a song for you
Well it seemed to be a song for you
The one I wanted to write for you, for you
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green
When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.O.U. for your love, IOU for your love

Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue
When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
IOU for your love, IOU for your love

For your love

Diesen Titel fand ich textlich unheimlich gut:

Das Traumpaar des Jahrhunderts
Die Schlampe und der Held
tanzen mit großer Geste
auf dem Parkett der Welt

Die feuerroten Haare
hat man ihr schwarz gemacht
ich hab den blassen Schimmer
die wachsen wieder nach

Sie schwebt verwirrt in Düften
in Lichtern bunt und grell
und er versäuft in aller Ruh
die Mitgift und ihr Fell

Und wenn es ihr zu eng wird
im sündhaft teuren Kleid
sagt er: Sei still und schäm dich
für deine Vergangenheit

Die Suppe ist dünn
und das Bett nicht sehr breit
der Hunger kommt beim Essen
und die Liebe mit der Zeit

Na um welche zwei geht es hier wohl?

Oder auch folgender Text:

Die Haare gepflegt lang, stets braungebrannt
ich nenn mich Jeff, weil ich Karl-Heinz nicht schick genug fand
ein bißchen Hippie auf Ibiza, im Winter bräune aus der tube
meine Zähne sind lückenlos, die Figur auch nicht ohne

Mein Wohnen ist schöner, meine Meinung modern
morgens hundert Liegestütze, ich diskutier auch sehr gern
meine Mädchen sind schön, meinem Chef steh ich nah
ich hab mich ganz schön gemacht, seit ich aus Wuppertal kam
ja, ich kann mich benehmen, was auch immer passiert
und ich lächel' auch fair, wenn ich beim Backgammon verlier
halbjährlich zum Arzt, ich bin ganz gesund
nur für meine Zigaretten, lauf ich die Füße mir wund
es stimmt wirklich alles, ich les' nun auch Kant
und ich verschweig diskret, daß ich mal Jerry Cotton gut fand
ja, ich hab Erfolg, der Abendkursus hat sich gelohnt
und ich bin stets bemüht, daß der Karl-Heinz nicht durchkommt
jetzt hab ich auch 'nen Porsche, zweite Hand, Metallic-Blau
mit dem reiß ich jeden Samstag in der Stadt die große Schau
doch neulich sprach ein Mädchen
ich mach sie an auf meine altbewährte Tour
"ich steh nich' auf Dich, Du bist doch bloß 'ne Karikatur"

"Karikatur, Karikatur, Du bist von Klügeren gezeichnet,
eine Karikatur"

Like a cat
Dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out
To do it all over again
I'll be back for more
It's something
That is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you

Like a pawn
On the eternal board
Who's never quite sure
What he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive
It's gone
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you

I'm yearning
I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned
Each and every night
I'm dying to(o)
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you


the bottom line - depeche mode


und das konzert gestern war einfach mal der oberhammer

I know what you're thinking
But I'm not your property
No matter what you say
No matter what you say

Move along, there's nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see

A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off
Just to take the edge off

Move along, there's nothing left to see
Just a body, pouring down the street

Move along, theres nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see

Move along

Radiohead - Gagging order



The future teaches you to be alone the present to be afraid and cold
'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists'

Bullets for your brain today but we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next

Gravity keeps my head down or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today but I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas but not with real intent

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next

'And on the streets tonight - an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days'

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next


Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This (Then Your Children Will Be Next)

Wo wir gerade bei Radiohead sind... Der Film dazu ist auch endgeil!




Creep


When you were before, couldn't look in your eye
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so FUCKIN' special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice, when I'm not around
You're so FUCKIN' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, ohhh ohhhh

She's running out....
She's running out, she's run, run, run, run....run....

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so FUCKIN' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

radiohead ist die geilste band der welt, aber ich finde gerade creep ist zu überbewertet...
eine grandiose erste single..aber naja...
von radiohead gibts viel geilere songs
