Er wordt in mijn beleving hier weinig over lyrics gesproken....terwijl er toch heel veel mooie nummers zijn, die ook nog eens wat te vertellen hebben. En dat er dan dingen gezegd worden, die je misschien zelf niet kunt verwoorden. Zeg maar de emotie of gevoel (tekstueel) in de muziek. Bij welke nummers heb je dat, en zou je ook nog anderen deelgenoot van willen maken. Laat ik met een nummering beginnen....we moeten toch makkelijk naar 1000 toe kunnen

1. Radiohead - optimistic

You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

avatar van EmDee
Moest wel ff het boekje erbij pakken.

2. Shiver - 10.000 miles

On new years eve we blow our money in the air till it hurts
In Holland you get bombs for free at S.E. Fireworks
Shooting a picture of that lighning sky
Give a toast to the worldpress till the bottle runs dry

3. Marillion - Estonia

Finding the answer, it's a human obsession

avatar
4. Shinedown - Better Version

I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

5. Dayna Kurtz - I Belong To The Wind

My life wasn't meant to be lived
It was meant to be sung

Geweldig topic dit bono

6. Threshold - The Destruction of Words

so you can take away the answers
and they'll still return but when you throw away the questions
i'll only learn again so take away the evidence
but i'll still recall until you throw away the memory
and all that's left is you

7. schaamteloos gekopieerd uit een ander topic.

Ik heb het zo in het algemeen totaal niet voor teksten en lyrics. Ik betrap me er vaak op dat ik teksten wel kan meezingen zonder nog maar te beseffen waar het nummer over gaat. Wat een bepaalde artiest te zeggen heeft, hoor ik liever door de muziek zelf, maar af en toe zijn er toch lyrics die tot me doordringen (al gaat het dan meestal over samples). Zoals de volgende:

Isn't it true,
that for most people,
the real world is a certain house on a definite street.
Doesn't the real world consist of perhaps say, 50 or a 100 or so faces.
And isn't everything and everyone else just a name in a newspaper,
an image on a screen ...
close your eyes,
stop up your ears,
and there is no world.

~Tara King Th - Psychic Science.

Bijzonder fijn topic. Mijn eerste bijdrage:

Laying in bed tonight I was thinking
And listening to all the dogs
And the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries
To dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk

And maybe it's time to live


P.S. You Rock My World - Eels

9. Lifehouse - Simon

Een nummer over een jongetje dat gepest word:

'Cause the weak will seek the weaker
Until they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same

Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down


En nog een ander stukje uit het nummer:

You don't know why
They had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars
For your only company
Don't believe the lies that they told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright, you're alright, you're alright


Mooi is ook dat de zanger gedurende het hele nummer het jongetje eigenlijk wil vertellen dat hij weet hoe die zich voelt, door middel van het refrein:

And I have felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same

Look, I've never had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done
So I've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!


Aesop Rock - No Regrets

Leonard Cohen - Chelsea Hotel #2

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."

avatar van Zachary Glass
Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl

I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.


Van Morrison - Slim Slow Rider

Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
You're out of reach


The Sheila Devine - Automatic Buffalo

Its how you love
its where you've been
its who you saw
and touch within


The Smiths - Some Girls ...

As Anthony said to Cleopatra:
as he opened a crate of ale:
Some girls are bigger than others


Gorky - Soms vraagt een mens zich af

We bouwen aan de toekomst
We leven voor elkaar
We bouwen aan de toekomst
Wij houden van elkaar


Gorki - Leve de lente

WEG MET DE WINTER! LEVE DE LENTE! - klopt op o-zo vele niveaus

As far as my Eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always Shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that You were a frined of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm Old and wise

As far as my eyes can see


Was getekent, Alan Parsons

U2, MLK ...

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him ...

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Voor mij met afstand de mooiste lyrics ooit. Als ik me soms eenzaam voel dan moet ik altijd denken aan deze lyrics...... en dan voel ik me nog eenzamer.

avatar
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time.. on my own
Sometimes I need some time.. all alone
Everybody needs some time.. on their own
Don't you know you need some time.. all alone


Ik vind deze tekst mooi, omdat ik ook wel eens het gevoel heb, en iedereen wel denk ik, dat de hele wereld tegen je is. Dan luister ik dit vaak

By The Sea van Suede

She can walk out anytime, anytime she wants to walk out , that's fine,
She can walk out anytime, anytime she feels that life has passed her by,
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.

He can walk out anytime, anytime he wants to walk out, that's fine,
He can walk out anytime, across the sand, into the sea, into the brine,
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground.

So we sold the car and quit the job
and shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off,
And we said our good-byes to the bank
left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack,
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground...

...it's by the sea we'll breed
...into the sea we'll bleed...

"Pet" door A Perfect Circle

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son,
Go back to sleep

Maynard James Keenan heeft het in dit nummer gewoon over mij, dat kan niet anders.

Hoe zit het met de nummering zo komen we nooit aan de 1000

avatar
Zo dan, als het goed is was mijn bijdrage nummer achttien.

avatar
Als extra-tje dan meteen maar nummer 19 .

Hurt van Nine Inch Nails:

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Zodra ik me schuldig voel, meteen deze op!

avatar van BoordAppel
Nummering is vrij nutteloos hier.

avatar van bonothecat
Waar is de nummering hier wel nuttig .......is alleen maar geinig hoever het uiteindelijk doorloopt

20. Bjork - human behaviour

Thet are terribly moody
Then all of a sudden turn happy
but oh to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying

"Come to me, I'll take care of you, Protect you
Calm, calm down, You're exhausted, Come lie down, You don't have to explain, I understand"

(door dit soort teksten word ik verliefd op) bjork - come to me

avatar van bonothecat
.......door deze tekst, die ik zag staan bij de CD post....kwam ik op het idee voor dit forum item.......en je moet hier niet aftellen maar optellen.....maar misschien voor niet economen een beetje ingewikkeld

in aanvulling op Phoenix, de laatste zinnen van Hurt:

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way


De afsluiter van het verhaal wat The Downward Spiral vertelt (wat behoorlijk moeilijk te doorgronden is.) Vooral in context met het hele album mooi.

avatar van BoordAppel
Enkele tekstflarden van Humble Mumble van Outkast samen met Erykah Badu:

If the dealer dealt a fucked up hand of cards you've gotta play 'em

The game changes everyday so obsolete is the fist and marches
Speeches only reaches those who already know about it
This is how we go about it

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then 1 day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life and that's life
And that's life and that's life


Tekst alleen doet het trouwens geen recht, dit moet je gewoon horen.

24. U2 - God Part II

Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live

vooral die laatste twee zinnen vind ik geweldig.

Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan - Silence

Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

Passion chokes the flower
Until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

In this white wave I am sinking in this silence

In this white wave
In this silence
I believe

I can't help this longing
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

In this white wave I am sinking in this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I have seen you
In this white wave you are silent
You are breathing in this white wave
i am free.
