Favorite Songs

I always end up breaking down whenever I hear Johnny Cash, and honestly, the tears flow even harder when I watch the music video.

Screw Balašević!!!
There, I said it. Let everyone know where I stand.

nirvana—oh, where did you sleep last night?
Our Lady Peace — Bring Back the Sun.
Skunk Anansie — Hedonism.
REM - Losing My Religion, Everybody Hurts.
Red Hot Chili Peppers—I’d die for you.
urban-hm....astronaut,poison rain,from the palm of God lallala
...there's more of that still...
Smells like... nothing.
🙂
Yeah—Streets of Philadelphia... Dust in the Wind... special needs.

SUTON(ašica) said:even myxomatosis?

don't go nitpicking every single little thing 😁

Michael Mitchell said:I actually tear up whenever I hear Radiohead playing so well...

that's exactly what I was getting at 😁

so Michael Mitchell, you too, huh?

just trying my best 😳

poison ivy said:Sure there are times when you feel low or lonely.😢..or maybe you’re just straight up in the gutter.. 🙂.So tell me, what’s on your playlist then? Like, what’s the absolute best music for just letting it all out and having a good cry? 🙂 Drop a few tracks... let's hear what you guys are into!!??👍 👋

SADE ADU: Most stuff, but when you crank up The King of Sorrow (fitting for this thread🙄), I'm done. Total meltdown, zero motivation; my wife just looks at me and says, "don't let the kids listen to the blues."

LEONARD COHEN, tons of stuff. Back in the day, SUZANNE used to leave me feeling twice as miserable, but now DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE just melts me. My bones turn to rubber and... damn... just thinking about it is enough.

NICK CAVE: Half the stuff on MURDER BALLADS (even Where The Wild Roses Grow, Song of Joy)

From the newer stuff, DIDO: LIFE IS FOR RENT

Hm, yeah, Balašević in a lot of his songs. Naive, childish, but—whatever.

boldeagle3 said:Do You Love Me - Time 😢

😲 😲 😲
man, my grandma used to live for this stuff (didn't realize it for ages... now I really want to tell you, boldeagle3, you damn romantic😁

Kevin Wood22 said:😲 😲 😲
well, my grandmother used to absolutely adore it—(honestly, I hadn't realized for the longest time... now I really want to admit it to you, boldeagle3, you total romantic)😁

I never actually said I loved the song, honey. 😎
Romance is a concept that remains entirely foreign to me.

boldeagle3 said:Didn't say I loved the song, honey. 😎
Romance just isn't my thing.

Yeah, it's not the vibe, it's the neck!
Thinking it'll make you cry... sounds naive, right?
Even my old lady used to listen to Kiće Slabinac (those three sweet words—I love you)🙂

So you're not romantic, boldeagle3? Just some sunny beach tucked behind the slums of Rio?😲 😲 😲 Then how am I supposed to grow old with you—down by the January River?
👎goodbye hopes & illusions

Kevin Wood22 said:Man, it’s not the neck—it’s the soul!
Is it naive to think a song could actually make you weep?
My mom used to listen to Kiće Slabinac too (those three sweet words—I love you)🙂

And you aren't exactly the romantic type, boldeagle3... you're more like a sunny beach tucked behind the slums of Rio.😲 😲 😲 So how am I supposed to grow old with you—somewhere by the January River?
👎 goodbye hopes & illusions

You FATALISTICALLY think I'm actually shedding tears over her...😲
Oh, my boy...😁
(God, I’d be diving into my feelings if I were actually in love, but right now she just hits me like a song that's exactly what it is 🙄 )

Damn that Kićo 😠
What kind of fucking romance is this, man? Carnival is practically here!😁

boldeagle3 said:>
You REALLY think I’m out here crying over her? 😲
Man, oh man... 😁
(honestly, if I were actually in love, I'd be a mess, but right now she just hits me like a song that's just... whatever 🙄 )

Damn you, Kićo 😠
What kind of fucking romance is this? Man, Carnival is right here! 😁

Total failed romantic!
I'm disappointed—like, seriously disappointed—that someone with your handle and your posts
ISN'T a romantic??? Unless that's some kind of code or a defense mechanism against getting mocked, etc. Either way, 👎 the admission alone is pretty brutal 😲

If all you care about is Carnival, you could throw on a mask anywhere in the States and finally show your true, emotional face without being scared 🙂

If I hadn't already died, the way I am now, I'd probably die for real 😠

Kevin Wood22 said:You total failed romantic!
I am disappointed—deeply, deeply disappointed—that someone with your handle and your posting history
ISN'T actually a romantic??? Unless, of course, this is some sort of security code, or perhaps just a defensive mechanism against being teased, etc... in any case, 👎 the admission alone is quite devastating 😲

If all you care about is the local Carnival, you could put on any old mask at a small-town parade in Ohio and still feel free to show your true, emotional face🙂

If I hadn't already died—which, let's be honest, is my current state—well, then I might actually die now😠

Everything here is just a security code 🙂
You still can't see the elephant in the room, can you? 😲
To die, so young???
😕
So, Kevin Wood22... 🙄

boldeagle3 said:Everything here is just a security code 🙂

Die so young???
😕
So, Kevin Wood22 🙄

touche!
I'm totally lost. What kind of rhetoric is this? Some delicate, lucid hint about failing to recognize actual, real philosophical stuff (read: the elephant in the room)?

And if I were sane, I'd be losing my mind!
👋

Kevin Wood22 said:touché!
I’ve been thoroughly outmaneuvered... what kind of rhetoric was that? Such a delicate, lucid little hint at failing to recognize the truly essential—the actual philosophical substance (read: ignoring the elephant in the room, or perhaps just the snake in the grass)?

And honestly, if I were actually sane, I’d probably be losing my mind by now!
👋

Now, just tell me how I'm supposed to go about mastering American history and everything else? 🙄
My supposed "lucidity" seems to be falling apart entirely under that pressure.

On topic:
Alicia Keys - You don't know my name
(mainly because that song came out during a time when it was practically designed to make you break down in tears)

[QUOTE]boldeagle3 says:
Now just tell me how to actually get into studying American history, civics, and all that crap. 🙄
My brain is officially fried.

Ontopic:
Alicia Keys - You don`t know my name
(mostly because this song dropped right when it was practically designed to make you cry)[/QUOTE

you don’t know my name, baby
It feels like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
But you don’t know my name
Round and round we go, will you ever really know

brutal lyrics, right???🙂 😁
(maybe we can grab a drink at the pub on Thursday, lalala)

PS. were you some kind of history or lit major or whatever??
😲 😲 🙂[/QUOTE]

hell of a lyric, isn't it???🙂 😁
(we could always grab a drink at the junction this Thursday, lalala)

PS. are you some kind of Schoolhouse major—history, literature, blah blah??
😲 😲 🙂 [/B]

The lyrics aren't even the point. Not everyone gets high on poetry and song meanings like you do... personally, I'm intoxicated by the melody in about 95% of songs.
I usually don't even notice the words until much later.
Meet at the junction on Thursday 😕
Schoolhouse major??? No, I'm certainly not a Schoolhouse type 🙄

boldeagle3 said:It’s not even about the lyrics. Not everyone gets high on poetry and song lyrics like you do. For me, it's 95% about the melody.
Won't even notice the text until later.
Connection on Thursday. 😕
Schoolhouse??? No way, I'm definitely not a schoolgirl. 🙄

So, Thursday's connector is just a quote from "You Don't Know My Name."🙄
If I were actually cruel—which I’m not, especially not toward you, boldeagle3, in places like Curitiba, Paraná, or Fortaleza—I might have pointed out the MECO stuff. Wondering if there's anything solid there, I guess.
🙄
Alright, back to the grind—time to study some American English... blabla.🙂

Kevin Wood22 said:Well, that Thursday connection is a direct nod to "You Don't Know My Name."🙄
If I were actually a cruel person—which I am certainly not, especially toward you, my gentle boldeagle3... thinking of Curitiba, Paraná, Fortaleza...—I might have pointed out the soft parts of my anatomy to you (wondering if there's anything firm to be found, I ask myself...)
🙄
But anyway, back to studying... American linguistics... blah blah blah...🙂

Personally, I need to pay attention to both the soft stuff and the hard stuff.
And honestly, just about everything else. Neither the book nor I have laid eyes on each other for about five years now...

On topic:
EKV - Budi sam na ulici
(God, I used to sob my eyes out to that song—damn it, it was intense 😠 😁 )

boldeagle3 said:Gotta keep an eye on both SOFT and HARD.
And honestly, anything else too. Neither the book nor I have even seen each other for like 5 years.

ontopic:
EKV - Budi sam na ulici
(damn, I used to cry my eyes out to that song, fuck 😠 😁 )

offtopic: so what are you studying (again)?

Kevin Wood22 said:Off-topic: So, what are you studying (again)?

There is no "again."
For the moment, nothing at all—though the Faculty of Political Science is still, quite persistently, waving at me from a distance...

On-topic:
Here is a little something to pass the time—Beyoncé: Me, myself and I (I actually made an effort to listen to the lyrics 🙄 )
