Favorite Lyrics


Not a whole song just certain powerful lyrics that you like or mean something to you.

Sometimes the song my just ok but certain lyrics say something to you.

This lyric for me shows what the love of a family can do.

"Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name "


What are some of your favorite lyrics?

Kevin Barnes is my favorite lyricist (and my of Montreal my favorite thing to sing along to).

"Now we're a bore, we're afternoon TV
This thing our minds are screaming to defy"

...

"Once more I turn to my crutch for council
And it won't disappoint me
I know it's the shadow cast by what's looming
And not the thing in itself that engenders fear"

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself than he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels


"The Anka"

Oh, let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes

Branded!
Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
And you know you're a man?

" You can make the mountains ring
Or make the Angels cry
..
When the One that left us here
Returns for us at last
you hold the key to love and fear
..
just one key unlocks them both...."

" If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness,
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another "

The Hollies, very nice.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
