post your song now!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAbcgmwq3EU&feature=related


I fall asleep by the telephone
It's 2 O'clock and I'm waiting up alone
Tell me where have you been?
I found a note with another name
You blow a kiss, but it just don't feel the same
Cause I can feel that you're gone

I can't bite my tongue forever
While you try to play it cool
You can hide behind your stories
But don't take me for a fool

You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It's nothing but a lie
(Lie)

You look so innocent
But the guilt in your voice gives you away
Yeah you know what I mean
How does it feel when you kiss when you know that i trust you
And do you think about me when he fucks you?
Could you be more obscene?

So dont try to say you're sorry
Or try to make it right
Don't waste your breath because it's too late, it's too late.

You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know,
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It's nothing but a lie
(Lie)
You're nothing but a lie

You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know
Your love is just a lie
(Lie
I know you're nothing but a lie
(Lie)
Lie
(Lie)
Lie
(Lie)
Lie

Your love is just a lie

3. Here's one I wrote for someone a long time ago.
Edited on Tue May-13-08 08:34 PM by DarkTirade
http://www.stickmanltd.com/practicesessions/indarkness-shortversion.mp3

In this darkness I see your face
so beautiful in my mind
I feel your touch against my skin
and sense your eyes inside my head

In the light you are just another
one more love or one more fuck
but in my head I hear your weeping
in the dark I make you mine

Nothing can come between us
Nothing can take you away from me
Nothing can tear us apart
In darkness we are one

In the dark you're so much more
more than any in the light
in the dark I see you clear
In the dark you are my love

In this darkness I feel your pulse
racing underneath your skin
I feel your life next to mine
in the dark you are my life

Nothing can come between us
Nothing can take you away from me
Nothing can tear us apart
In darkness we are one

In the day you stay with me
I see you with my own eyes
in the dark I cannot see you
in the dark where love is blind

without light to see you by
I feel you and I touch you
In the dark I feel your skin
In the dark you make me yours

Only light can come between us
Only light can take you away
Only light can tear us apart
In this darkness we are one



And yes, I know my bass is a bit out of tune there. I was still figuring out some of the quirks of multi-track recording and I couldn't quite get the volume right on the playback to be able to really hear what I was playing properly. :P

6. Very intense.
Melodic, but penetrating and almost like a Buddhist chant effect with the instrument/synthesizer? in the background. The song is captivating. Darkly beautiful, and a little supernatural.

8. It's just guitar and bass in the background, although there's distortion and whatnot and both are
electric, not acoustic. :) The solo part was just pure straight through the amp, and the voice part was straight from the microphone recorded as is. But the rhythm and bass had distortion. I wanted the solo and voice to cut through with their opposing lines, while the bass and rhythm are kind of background and they just provide the structure behind the song itself.

5. I've been to town..Frank Sinatra
Edited on Tue May-13-08 08:43 PM by GoPsUx
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ikjx8VvITvQ

R.Mckuen)

I've been to town, I've walked the highways and in the suburbs too.
I've done somethings I never thought I'd ever do.
Now as I stand here looking down at you, you ask me why it is I frown.
I guess it's 'cause I've been to town.
I've been to town beyond the boulevard and down the beach,
I've learned some things that only time can teach,
For instance, love is more than just a speech,
It's got to find a common ground,
I know 'cause I've been to town.
Don't tell me any more lies, I can't waste any more years,
I've seen my image in your eyes,
Dissolve in disappointed tears.
I've been to town, you ask me do I know the Milky Way,
I do, and furthermore I'd like to say
It isn't milky white, it's dingy gray,
Especially when your world breaks down,
I know because I've been to town.

10. Here's mine..always loved this tune....
Has a certain coolness to it...and just got re-aquainted with it and more music as I've been ripping my discs finally!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTmCs9k_rZY

A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made.
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says "hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
He's underneath the window she's singing "hey la, my boyfriend's back.
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...
Anyway what you gonna do about it?"

ROMEO:
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, both the streets of shame.
Both dirty, both mean, yes in the dream it was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver,
You can fall for chains of gold,
You can fall for pretty strangers,
And the promises they hold.
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah!
Now you just say "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him".

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talks, like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you,
I can't do anything, except be in love with you!
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be,
All I do is keep the beat, bad company.
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of Orien,
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, in all the movie songs.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

NARRATOR:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

ROMEO:
"You and me babe, how about it?"

18. I've always loved that song
did you know that the Indigo Girls also have a version? I like it, but nothing beats Mark Knopflers sexy voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5h-ZN9GgHw&feature=related

School's Out

Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Well, we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not go back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely

12. Further and Further Away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD28hF5pdMU

# Further And Further Away
# Words And Music By
# Cheryl Wheeler

# I can see the place where I came from
# I can hear those sounds right now
# I can find the paths I used to run
# And believe I still know how
#
# Then I shake my head, clearing my vision
# I keep those scenes at bay
# And I can see the place where I came from
# Slipping further and further away
#
# And I can feel the way I used to feel
# When the world was small and green
# And you sang a song of soft appeal
# And I curled into my dream
#
# Then I shake my head, clearing my vision
# I keep those scenes at bay
# And I can feel the way I used to feel
# Slipping further and further away
#
# Time keeps moving faster and faster
# I'm not losing track
# I'm afraid that something's forgotten
# So I keep looking back
#
# I can hear the songs you used to sing
# I can swear I won't let go
# You were strong and you knew everything
# That was all I had to know
#
# Then I shake my head, clearing my vision
# I keep those scenes at bay
# And I can hear the songs you used to sing
# Slipping further and further away
#

13. What a cheerful song...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=H3LyBaLYOWU
Neil Diamond- Love On The Rocks

Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And I'll tell you some lies
Got nothin' to lose
So you just sing the blues all the time
Gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
You left me alone here
With nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
Now all I want is a smile

First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song

You need what you need
You can say what you want
Not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
May be blue skies above
But it's cold when you love's on the rocks

First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song

15. Here's mine, kind of a no-brainer, but I still love the song... :-)
Rhiannon

Rhiannon rings like a bell thru the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover...


All your life you've never seen
A woman--taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...


She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark--
And when the sky is starless--


All your life you've never seen--
A woman--taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...


Dreams unwind.
Love's a state of mind.

Fleetwood Mac Rhiannon Live 1976 Stevie Nicks

17. It's Alright ~ Black Sabbath
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdObRczYbUk

Told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright

Where to go and where to see
It's always been this way and it can never be
It's alright, yes it's alright

Give it all and ask no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That's it's alright, yes it's alright

Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, yes it's alright

19. This is my song for today
Mexican Sky-Cross Canadian Ragweed

it was actually written by a friend of mine ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYJ1EyQXll8

Ever since you went away
The sun hasn't been out to shine
And clouds they been dropping their blues on me
And rainy day blues are mine

And i don't care how far you roam
Just as long as you come back home
With those words of iron
Forged by the fire
In the heart of a lonely man

I’ve been wanting to tell you

That its rained ever day that you've been away
Clouds are crying and I'm surviving
Thinking about you down in old Mexico
I’m thinking about you down in old Mexico

I know that the rain it doesn't last forever
And seasons they keep rolling on
And absence doesn't make every heart grown fonder
The sun shines so bright in the Mexican sky

And i don't care how far you roam
i don't care if you never come home
With those words of iron
Forged by the fire
In the heart of a lonely man

I’ve been wanting to tell you

That its rained ever day that you've been away
Clouds are crying and I'm surviving
Thinking about you down in old Mexico
I’m thinking about you down in old Mexico

20. Oktoberain always says this was written about me... i think she might be right!
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/TheBellamyBrothers/We-Dared-The-Lightning--2139313

Mama said, slow down
But I was going too fast to listen
Said, what goes around comes around
But only time could get my attention
But as I look back now
Over advice well-given
I can't help wondering how
It is that I'm still living?

I had some wild friends
We did some crazy things
We kept some long, late hours
We dared the lightning
We took it to the edge
Running full speed ahead
We laid our lives on the line
We dared the lightning.

It really blows my mind
I don't know that I survived
Still I go back from time to time
And visit others by their grave sites
Wish mama had lived to see
That now I have kids of my own
She'd be laughing at me
But mama never cast a stone.

I had some wild friends
We did some crazy things
We kept some long, late hours
We dared the lightning
We took it to the edge
Running full speed ahead
We laid our lives on the line
We dared the lightning.

It was like playing Russian roulette
Always bragging and bluffing
Racing 'round and dodging bullets
We never stopped at nothing.

I had some wild friends
We did some crazy things
We kept some long, late hours
We dared the lightning
We took it to the edge
Running full speed ahead
We laid our lives on the line
We dared the lightning.

Edited on Wed May-14-08 12:03 PM by Inchworm
And it's already here
And it's absolutely perfect


Here's one.

:hug::hi:
____________________________

Natalie Imbruglia - That Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbnN_naeJe4

That day, That day
What a mess what a marvel
I walked into that cloud again
And I lost myself
And I'm sad, sad, sad
Small, alone, scared
Craving purity
A fragile mind and a gentle spirit

That day, That day,
What a marvelous mess
This is all that I can do
I'm done to be me
Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful
It's supposed to be like this
I accept everything
It's supposed to be like this

That day, That day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling
Towards the light
And it's all that I see and
I'm tired and I'm right
And I'm wrong
And it's beautiful

That day, That day
What a mess, what a marvel
We're all the same
But no one thinks so
And it's okay
And I'm small and I'm divine
And it's beautiful
And it's coming
And it's already here
And it's absolutely perfect

That day, That day
When everything was a mess
And everything was in place
And there's too much hurt
Sad, small, scared, alone
And everyone's a cynic
And it's hard and it's sweet
But it's supposed to be like this

That day, That day
When I sat in the sun
And I thought and I cried
Cause I'm sad, scared, small
Alone, strong
And I'm nothing and I'm true
Only a brave man can break through
And it's all okay
Yeah, it's okay

That day, That day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling
Towards the light
And it's all that I see and
I'm tired and I'm right
And I'm wrong
And it's beautiful

That day, That day
What a mess, what a marveleous mess
We're all the same
But no one thinks so
And it's okay
And I'm small and I'm divine
And it's beautiful
And it's coming
And it's already here
And it's absolutely perfect

That day, That day
That day, That day

That day, That day
I lay down beside myself
In this feeling of pain, sadness
Scared, small, climbing, crawling
Towards the light
And it's all that I see and
I'm tired and I'm right
And I'm wrong
And it's beautiful

That day, That day
What a mess, what a marveleous mess
We're all the same
But no one thinks so
And it's okay
And I'm small and I'm divine
And it's beautiful
And it's coming
And it's already here
And it's absolutely perfect

That day, That day
That day, That day
