SeaVisionBurma Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 When we're on a downer - do we need to say whether it is a song to pick us up? or a favourite depressing song to ride the mood? ride the mood: Split Enz. I Hope I Never Aloof. One Night Stand Massive Attack. Unfinished Sympathy Roxy Music. More Than This pick up: anything by the Pixies Fabienne Del Sol. Laissez Tomber Les Filles - link Mental As Anything. Too Many Times there's a song called "Crazy", circa 1997/98, can't remember the artist (NOT Seal) can anyone enlighten me?

Thomas_Merton Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Bob Dylan: Shelter from the Storm 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved. Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed. Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose. I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Death Is Not The End by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It's sung by him, Kylie Minogue, Shane McGowan and a few others sing a verse each... It's very slow and more depressing than anything else I've ever heard, even Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks. I once played it at a party and it completely killed the atmosphere stone dead and the party never recovered - I wasn't invited to any more. Anyway, I had split up with Karen and wasn't having a very good time so I didn't see why anyone else should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Love Hurts...written by Gram Parsons in the early 70s. He died of a drug overdose not long after in the California desert. He was taken to a morgue in San Bernadino and a mate of his went and stole the corpse and burned it out in the desert per Parsons' wish. Switch to the fenlands of Lincolnshire in 1998 where tutsi was on a job and driving home from work and was listening to a live interview with Emmylou Harris (a friend of Parsons) on radio 2 (?). She ended the interview with the song. So tortured and anguished I had to pull off the road to listen to it. Jesus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
