Recommend a song you're obsessed with part 2

[Hellfire]

Because Torum has turned it into a fad screwing up the threads I start.

mine:
Tori Amos - Crazy

[mandy]

Doth I Protest Too Much - Alanis Morissette

[~Slave To The Muse~]

Woot!!! I saw her earlier this month, but alas there was no "Doth" in her set.

I recomment "Self-Deception" by Lacuna Coil.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??

I'M GONNA KILL ALANIS! i swear to God if i see her in concert and she doesn't perform that song i'm never ever ever ever in my life even think about putting one of her records on. that's like, the ultimate most perfect alanis song ever! last time i saw her live it was already disappointing cuz she didn't play Flinch and that had been a big hit here. now she's gonna do it again and not play my favorite song?? i hate her. i really really hate her. anyhoo, my current obsession is:

The Book, Sheryl Crow. it contains what's quite possibly one of the most close-to-home lyrics i've ever heard in my life (and i've heard quite a few): "sometimes we come to learn by mistake that the love you once made can't be undone". that rings so true to me sometimes i could swallow this song whole.

[Koalapupu]

Gift Horse by Black Box Recorder.

It's morbid and sad, yet I can empathize.

Tori - Do It Again[/b]

Been playing in my head over and over again lately. As well as the Steely Dan version, sometimes my brain can't decide which one it wants to hear...

[♣Miranda♣]

"Fuck You Lucy" ~ Atmosphere

[Angie812]

vnv nation~standing..its trance music but I care more for the lyrics they are very nice

Standing
Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.
Beyond words they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems
awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing's ventured nothing's gained
so I must seize the day.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anyone.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands
as I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.
And fighting time so much I ask.
I will this morning last forever.
Though seasons change and things come to pass
remain inside of me.
And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
and will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed.
Days followed days and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen.

I mentioned it on the listening to thread already, but I'm a bit obsessed with the entire "The Disconnection" album Carina Round. All 9 songs are owning me right now.

Here are the 2 that most especially have me under their spell:


Lacuna

Sun said it's gonna shine on, down into my window
It's gonna light my room just right
Gonna shine and make the pain go
They go running from the rain in case it turns to thunder
I ripped out the reason, the truth that dragged you under
Speaking in disguises your words are ornamental
A vapour trail and then you
are gone

And I've got a lesson to learn

There's a lot to be
Said for this morbid self-attention
The problem lies in my external obsession
Animal is hungry been sleeping for far too long
Gonna fill this lacuna somehow

I'm thinking of a man I once knew
I thought I had the hang of
He never learnt that the heart is perishable without love
But keep your heart out of it now
concentrate your vision
I'm lying here like a forfeit awaiting your incision
I don't wanna hear about it
Your new infatuation
I just wanna leave here wearing
a smile

And I've got a lesson to learn

There's a lot to be
Said for this morbid self-attention
The problem lies in my external obsession
Oh baby, don't make no difference, your preference
Come fill this lacuna at least for now

I can think of a good few reasons to get fucked up but
You're just looking for an excuse to call yourself a fuck up
Look at her without the burden of what it is that you live for
She'll still be here when your carnival is over
She'll still be here when you
are gone.
*fake-out inhaling breath at the end*

Paris

Paris is beautiful during the summertime, I hear
Here is so dull and grey after the April snow has cleared
I keep New York in mind, rain on the streets this time of year
I saw you in my mind, I conquer your forbidden land
See your treasure's inside the sea
Don't waste your time walking the sand

For your answer is under water
You won't miss the sun you got
The light you give, oh you give
Oh the moon lights the surface
It's a shadow land that serves a purpose
For you live, how you live

Send out your thought beams
Something to lead me on my way
I used to float in your ice stream to weigh up my beauty day by day
I know broken bones don't come close to the pain of hidden truth
I caught your dream in mine, I saw us walking hand in hand
See your treasure's inside the sea
Don't waste your time walking the sand

Oh your answer is under water
You won't miss the sun you got
The light you give, oh you give
Know the moon lights a surface
It's a shadow land that serves a purpose
For you live, how you live

Oh your answer is underwater
You won't miss the sun you got the light you give oh you give, you give, you give
Oh your moon lights my surface
It's a shadow land that serves a purpose
For you live, how you live, how you live
How you live

[LipGlossArsonist]

I've been binging on Björk's Medúlla. This particular song has caught me.

Who Is It (Carry My Joy on the Left, Carry My Pain on the Right)

His embrace : a fortress
it fuels me and places
a skeleton of trust
right beneath us
bone by bone
stone by stone

If you ask yourself
patiently
and carefully:
who is it?
who is it?

Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now they're handing it over
they're handing it over
handing it over

Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now -- they're handing it over
handing it over

He demands a closeness
we all have earned a lightness
carry my joy on the left
carry my pain on the right

If you ask yourself
now patiently
and carefully:
who is it?

Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
and I'm handing it over
handing it over
handing

Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now I'm handing it over
handing it over

My fave is Into My Blood right now. I haven't listened to the whole album a whole lot of times yet though.
But Into My Blood would be one song I'd post on here as being obsessed with lately

"I Will Love You" by Fisher...

lyrics:

'Til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you

'Til the sun starts to cry
and the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you

But I need to know - will you stay for all
time...forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart 'til the end of all
time...forever and a day
And I need to know - will you stay for all
time...forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart 'til the end of all
time...forever and a day

'Til the storms fill my eyes
and we touch the last time
I will love you, love you...
************************

let me just tell you, when i hear this song, my heart just breaks...

Edit: This is my 900th post! yay me!

I love that song, and I know Miranda (bluegirl) does too because she put it on a mixed CD for me.

A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras[/b]

I mean, I've always been obsessed with it, since I first heard it. Just going through a revival recently. Due to the universally known "stupid boys" theory.

You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all

Thanks, Maynard. You kinda nailed it, there.
