| Mark Knopfler – Wild Theme Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I'd never heard this track until fairly recently. It was played at my uncles funeral in May 2012 after he passed away following a short struggle with lung cancer. What a soulful, moving, beautiful piece of music. Each time I hard it now, I remember my uncle. Not as a cancer sufferer - but the smiling, happy, talkative, drink swilling, live of the party character he was. I laugh to myself when I remember some of the tales I heard about him from relatives at his wake... what a legend he was. RIP John, I only wish that I'd been able to get to know you more before you went. At least you're finally out of pain now. I hope the fish are biting well in heaven. God Bless. |

| Pink Floyd – Coming Back to Life Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Im living with the consequences of a huge mistake I made 6 years ago which saw me spend 6 months as a guest of Her Majesty. Whilst my parents have forgiven me, and I've by all accounts succeeded since this time, I've got a great job, and am doing really well... Not a day goes by that I don't think about what I did, and how bleeding stupid it was. I remember saying at the time, that I would move on from that time, but I would never forgive myself. And to this day, I am unable to forgive myself. I have cut myself off from friends, despite them standing by me - because I am too ashamed of what I did. I hope that some day, at some point in the future, I shall be able to bury my demons that I live with day to day, and forgive myself. It wasn't a serious crime, but it was stupid. As I say, I've moved on from Prison. Great job, new house, still got awesome friends and am doing fantastically well - my Mum the other month said she was so proud of me for getting back on my feet. The first time in my life she's said she was proud of me - it choked me up, and I cried. I just wish that I could say I was proud of myself again. Perhaps one day, someday I too will kneow the moment has arrived for killing the past and coming back to life. I pray for that day. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Human Touch Lyrics | 12 years ago |

By far the best bit of this song is between 1:53 and 3:12. How it goes from slow and steady - soulful, to full on rock.. those few beats, BAM BAM BAM, at 2:17, then... "Oh girl that feeling of safety you prize Well it comes at a hard hard price You can't shut off the risk and the pain Without losin' the love that remains We're all riders on this train" Wow! Just, Wow... gets the hairs on my arms and neck standing up each and every time I hear it - I try not to sing along to him, but its impossible. This song just moves me like no other i've heard in my life so far. Brilliant! Thanks Boss, for this song! |

| Dire Straits – Sultans Of Swing Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Sultans of Swing, Alchemy Live, July 1983 @ Hammersmith Odeon.... Bloody Hell! Fantastic! If it doesn't make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, then you've got no soul... it's out of this world and makes me smile from ear to ear totally involuntarily, and bop around with the rhythm. Just incredible. I haven't figured out the meaning of this song yet, but to be honest, it's one of those rare few that don't need a meaning... just listening to them for the sheer musical prowess is enough. I can only thank my Dad for getting me interested in Dire Straits when i was a very young child... it's a love of music that I hope will never leave me... |

| Just been watching this on the Dire Straits Alchemy Live 1983 Digitally Re-mastered DVD i got for my birthday yesterday... fantastic stuff. If there is anyone out there who doesnt like Dire Straits, i urge them to watch the 1983 Alchemy tour... undoubtedly Knopfler at his best... sheer genius! | |

RIP to Jane Tomlinson who passed away today after a 7 year battle with cancer. You were an amazing woman Jane, you inspired so many to push themselves, to strive for the "impossible"... You'll be sorely missed in so many circles, i can only say that i'm sorry i never had the honour of meeting you in person. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/6976050.stm |

| Deacon Blue – Dignity Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The song has quite a deep meaning to me at the moment. I've made a lot of bad decisions, mistakes etc, and they're about to come and bite me in the arse... my life as i know it, is shortly to be over. My career in ruins, my family disowning me, and my freedom revoked for a short period. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my life, where i'm headed, the mistakes which i made years ago and had put behind me, which now are going to change my life forever.... and i've decided that i know where i need to be, and what i want from life. I'm going to get any old job when it's all blown over, work every hour god sends, save like my life depends on it, and then buy a van, and a hang glider and lessons. I'm then going to pack the van with my glider and all my climbing gear... and leave. "I'll travel up the west coast, through villages and towns... " For me, i'll be travelling around Europe initially, then who knows... travelling from Launch site to climbing site, making friends.. sleeping in my van, camping... if i need to work, ill do anything - cleaning, work in a bar, waiting tables etc... "i'll be thinking about home, and all that that means" Who knows where ill end up? Who cares? My life here is almost over, i'll not have much to stay here for anyway... The jobs i do after it all to save up may not be glamerous, they may not be the definition of 'career success', but ill be building up my dignity. When i listen to to this song, the crunch of it is thus: "and i'm thinking about home and i'm thinking about faith and i'm thinking about work and i'm thinking about how good it would be to be here some day" I think about all of those things, the dream i have, the freedom of the open road, being able to put my past mistakes and cock ups behind me, to leave those who'll judge behind, and move to pastures new... And as the song says, i'm thinking about how good it will be to be there one day. |

| Oh man! what, no comments! Such an amazing song.. i know its got nothing to do with actual running, but it was this song which got me through the Flora London Marathon 2007 with lack of water, and a knackered calf muscle. Well done to all who did it that day, RIP to D. Rogers who died... and Way hey to steve winwood for an awesome song! Keep on running..... | |
| Travis Tritt – It's A Great Day To Be Alive Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Indeed a very positive song - but for some reason always makes me cry... not because i view it as a sad song, but because i love life so much, and the whole song is about growing up and moving on... guess deep down i dont wanna grow up... | |

Man this brings me back! My dad used to sing this song to me when i was a wee bairn to get me to sleep on a night. Where does the time go? Just having a bit of a "reminicing" moment here... excuse me, my eye seems to be leaking..... |

didnt he write this song to be released post humus, prior to his being shot? I read somewhere that he KNEW he was gonna be killed (well he had been shot so many times before) so he wrote this song as a kinda warning to others "dont get into drugs and gang life" Amazing song... RIP 2Pac! |

As someone who is currently going through a HIV scare, this song has taken on a whole new meaning to me. The lyrics are haunting, and although i dont know if im +ve or not, i can align myself with some of the words and meanings. Fantastic song... |
