Sing it.

Soul Music
The greatest lyrics ever. (until I get sick of them and change this page)

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

Neil Young
After the Goldrush

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Tears for Fears
Mad World

Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere.
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear.
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung.
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight.
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave.
So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song.
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud.

Nick Drake
Cello Song

Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue
Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue

Nick Drake
Way to Blue

Careful what you're living for
You just might set your house on fire
Is what you want exactly what you need
I don't think so
'Cause you and I
We know what's going on
You and I
Gonna take you to the other side
For a little joy
A little joy
For a little joy
Want a little joy
Joy!
Though your head is out of style
You know there's really nothing to it
Feeling really messed around
But you cannot put your finger on it
No one laughs and no one cries
No one want to reach and touch the sky
Joy
A little joy
For a little joy
Want a little joy

Gay Dad
Joy!

Have you seen your mother girl?
Has she gone away?
Gone away and found the pearl
But the price she paid
Gone
When you wake in the morning
Gone
When you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone
Pretty penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her

Stone Temple Pilots
Pretty Penny

Listen to these guys:

Nick Drake

Nick Drake's songs are some of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. His guitar playing is absolutely flawless and his voice is very soothing. Drake's lyrics are, to say the least, superb, yet they are also very dark. Almost all of his songs have subtle (and not so subtle) undertones of loneliness, despair, and death. All of these take on a deeper meaning when you remember that Drake died in his 20's of an overdose of an anti-depressant medication. He is, I believe one of the greatest musicians I have ever heard and, without a doubt, the greatest songwriter who has ever written. His greatest songs include: "Cello Song", "Way to Blue", and "Fruit Tree". Neil Young

Neil Young you've probably heard of before. His voice is high and shrill, yet in no way displeasing. His lyrics, like Drake's, are highly personal and, when taken into context, are amazingly poignant. Although Young is a great electric rock musician, his best work is done accousticly, whether on a guitar, banjo, or piano. In my humble opinion, his greatest song is "After the Goldrush" (which is one of the prettiest songs ever), but you also shouldn't miss "Old Man", "Down by the River", or "The Needle and the Damage Done". Starsailor and Gay Dad

Starsailor and Gay Dad are your basic British pop bands. They're just a lot of fun to listen to. Y'know, if you like Coldplay and bands of the like, you should check out these two, especially: "Tie Up My Hands" and "Good Souls" by Starsailor and "Joy!" and "To Earth with Love" by Gay Dad.
