franciscanheart Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 i used to play "another day in paradise" by phil collins over and over and over as a little girl. i get lost in the weepies, jon foreman, and joshua radin. there was a local band called the windbreakers who wrote and produced a song called "oregon" that also takes me away- into myself and out of myself all at once, if that makes sense. (joshua radin and jon foreman are the majority of my top 25 most played on iTunes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosieranna Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) For the "sound" of me (what a great term, M-T!), I would say this:[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZn_VBgkPNY&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZn_VBgkPNY...feature=related[/url] or this (starting at 2:13): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9llrnMahGBE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9llrnMahGBE[/url]. I used to listen to the second one with my dad when I was little. Lyrically, probably "Martyrs and Thieves" by Jennifer Knapp. Edited July 24, 2009 by Nadezhda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Music is a huge part of my life. There are songs that I just listen to and...well, I don't know. It's beyond words. At the moment, I am loving "The Finer Things" by Steve Winwood. Sorry that my post isn't deeper...it would/will be if I could/can figure out how to put it into words.

VeniteAdoremus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 One of my friends is the Choral No. 3 by Cesar Franck. To the note. It's so scary. Me... I think I'm the Polovtsian Dances Or the Cantique de Jean Racine. I want to become [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh2IRvavyms"]"Love them like Jesus" by the Casting Crowns[/url]. That song is such an inspiration to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Shameless of my own thread. Still want to know what music is between the ears of the PM faithful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 How to Save a Life by the Fray... makes me think about my relationship with my friends, and just others in general. And kind of about how it can be so easy to take for granted the importance that they have... I think because when a friend of mine died suddenly, that was on his myspace profile, and my friends quickly started associating it with him. So even though that doesn't really have anything to do with the song, that's what it makes me think of... because he wasn't a close friend, but I realized, after he died, that he was important to me nonetheless. Collide by Howie Day also has a similar effect. The song Sweetly Broken by Jeremy Riddle has always been one that made me identify with in my relationship to God. Held by Natalie Grant... Train Wreck by Sarah McLachlan... can't quite articulate why. And Fallen as well. I guess, it articulates the weakness I feel. One Way Ticket by LeAnn Rimes was a favorite when I was a little girl... I think it's a nostalgic song for me... makes me think of all the things I wanted to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Another song that really speaks to me is "Save a place for me" by Matthew West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 My personal favorite song...What a Wonderful World, Louis Armstrong. Several John Mayer tunes get me. I don't get how he can be such a brilliant guitarist and introspective lyricist and such a jerk in public. Oh well, youth and money often equal trouble. Anyway, from him I have a couple which always speak to me: Why Georgia--used to live in Atlanta so it has a lot of meaning on many levels. Stop This Train--wonderfully vulnerable song about the progress of life Comfortable--very intimate song about relationships 3x5--what freedom sounds like John Mayer + Stratocaster = Good. I have so many different songs in my head that I associate with so many different emotions. I'll have to come back when my mind has stopped going blank.

Jesus_lol Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 the extended guitar part at the end of "on every street"by Dire straits really speaks to me for some reason. whenever i am tense, or angry that song just melts is away. other than that my favourite music is Metal, the heavier the better. the lyrics and anger is not so much me, i pay attention to the music mostly. very heavy and harsh sounds introduced and followed by beautiful clean and acoustic melodies; varying tempo and timing; complex arrangements; technical passages punctuated by slower hard hitting, crushing interludes; tight and surgical instrumentation to loose and organic; discordant and atonal riffs that fit precisely when taken incontext to absurdly detailed melodies, perfectly harmonized; drums and bass in constant evolution, shifting throughout the song; all instruments frequently taking influence from blues, jazz, classical, country(ocassionally) and numerous exotic music genres. fits me to a Tee.

Sojourner Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I absolutely love music, just about every form. I have a bunch of songs I love, and like others have said when I find a song I love I'll listen to it over and over. My husband is the same way. I love independent musicians; some of my favorites are Over the Rhine, Jason Harrod, and Sufjan Stevens. Lately, songs on my playlist have been "Run" by Collective Soul, "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers, "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars, and "All That I Want" by The Weepies, among others. I like to listen to music loud, although I try not to do that often so I preserve my hearing. I just love the feeling of music affecting your entire body. I used to sing with a symphonic choir, and some of my favorite musical memories are from performing with them in Symphony concerts. We did, for example, Beethoven's Ninth, and there is something extraordinary about singing your heart out while the music swells all around you. I think it is seriously a little taste a heaven.

Deus te Amat Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) I have a lot of songs that I kind of relate to, but a song just played on my iTunes by Tenth Avenue North, and it really described how I've been feeling lately. It's their song "Beloved" and it's a love song from Jesus to us. Love of my life Look deep in my eyes There you will find what you need Give me your life Lust and the lies The past you're afraid I might see You've been running away from me You're my beloved Lover I'm yours Death shall not part us It's you I died for For better or worse Forever we'll be Our Love it unites us It binds you to me It's a mystery Love of my life Look deep in my eyes There you will find what you need I'am the giver of life I'll clothe you in whine My immaculate bride you will be Oh come running home to me You're my beloved Lover I'm yours Death shall not part us It's you I died for For better or worse Forever we'll be Our Love it unites us It binds you to me Well you've been a mistress, my wife Chasing lovers it won't satisfy Won't you let me make you my bride You will drink of my lips And you'll taste new life Cause you're my beloved Lover I'm yours Death shall not part us It's you I died for For better or worse Forever we'll be Our Love it unites us & it binds you to me You're my beloved Forever we'll be Our love it unites us And it binds you to me It's a mystery It's a mystery Edited July 27, 2009 by Deus_te_Amat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Joe Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Anyone else think of Jack Handey? [quote]I'll be the first to admit that my idea of God is pretty different. I believe in a God with a long white beard, a gold crown, and a long robe with lots of shiny jewels on it. He sits on a big throne in the clouds, and He's about five hundred feet tall. He talks in a real deep voice like "I...AM...GOD!" He can blow up stuff just by looking at it. This is my own, personal idea of God.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
