"Home"

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

H played me this song about a year ago, and my tears just streamed down my face. Now I listen to it with more hope.

Listen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvHNmx41fo0

We're sliding through completely new beginnings.
We're searching out our every doubt and winning.
We want to be free, and yet we have no idea
Why we are struggling here, faced with our every fear
Just to survive.

We've heard the sound and come around to listening.
We've touched the vibe time after time insisting
We know what life means
Still we can’t find a way
From dues we’ve got to pay
We hope will somehow say
That we're alive.
Completely new,
Completely new beginnings.

[Gullstaff]

I am very much a music fan. Music has always gotten me through the tough times in my life and being a LBS is no differant. I was listening to one of my favorite bands tonight (Pink Floyd) and began to listen to their excellent track "Coming back To Life from the album "The Division Bell"

I was struck by the lyrics, as to me it almost sounds like a LBS talking to his MLC'er.

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

To me it speaks of the LBS ready for his "waiting" for his spouse to come out of the tunnel, and that he is GAL while she is off on her own journey. The dangerous and irresistible pastime is of course loving ones spouse and Standing. "Killing the Past and coming back to life" is detaching and working on ones self.

Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else had any music that spoke to them in their crisis dealing with MLC

Hey Gull,

The funny thing is that while I was in Toys R Us last night, the song "What's up?' by the 4 Non-Blondes came on and the words are strikingly appropriate.

Twenty-five years I'm alive here still
 Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
 For a destination
 
I realized quickly when I knew I should
 That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
 For whatever that means
 
And so I cry sometimes
 When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out
 What's in my head
 And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.
 
And so I wake in the morning
 And I step outside
 And I take a deep breath and I get real high
 And I scream from the top of my lungs
 What's going on?
 
And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea
 I said hey, what's going on?
 
And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea
 I said hey, what's going on?
 
ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
 ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
 
and I try, oh my god do I try
 I try all the time, in this institution
 
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
 I pray all sanctity
 For a revolution.
 
And so I cry sometimes
 When I'm lying bed
 Just to get it all out
 What's in my head
 And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
 
And so I wake in the morning
 And I step outside
 And I take a deep breath and I get real high
 And I scream from the top of my lungs
 What's going on?
 
And I say, hey hey hey hey
 I said hey, what's going on?
 
And I say, hey hey hey hey
 I said hey, what's going on?
 
And I say, hey hey hey hey
 I said hey, what's going on?
 
And I say, hey hey hey hey
 I said hey, what's going on?
 
ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh ooooooooooooooooh
 
Twenty-five years I'm alive here still
 Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
 for a destination

Nice Thundarr, never thought about the lyrics in that way. I will add that to my list.

Good one.

[Gullstaff]

I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now, and the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain

I've kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cos you're gone now, but your heart, still remains
And it'll be here if you come again

You see, I'd heard the rumours, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember...

If leaving me is easy,
Coming back is harder...

[Thundarr]

Warning:  This song used to be fun for me to sing, now it makes me cry almost every time.  Proceed with caution.

Don't Go Away Mad by Motley Crue

Oooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
One Time
Oooo, yeah,Oooooooo
We could sail away
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did

Seasons must change
Separate paths, separate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain

I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along

That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through the pain
That's alright, that's okay
Let's turn the page

My friends called today
Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half of the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away

That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
That's alright, that's okay
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
That's alright, now that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through the pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way

Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad
Now girl, just go away
Here we go

Don't go away mad
I don't want you to stay, Yeah
Come on, girl

Come on, baby
I'll say it one more time

Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away yeah, yeah
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away, Yeah
Now I said girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Now I said girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away, yeah
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away...

How is this not on here already???

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

   

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

And one for us LBSr's

Gloria Gaynor - I will survive

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Admittedly it happens in slow speed in MLC, but Billy is a good song about someone's fantasy affair losing it's mystique as reality sets in...

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
He knows the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
He's got lines on his face (they
tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he's just known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.
