Here’s some of mine.

" I think God it’s moving his tongue, there’s no crowd on the streets and no sun, in my own summer"

“You and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel”

“I felt the hate rise up in me, kneel down and clear the stone of leaves, i wandered out where you can’t see, inside my shell i wait and bleed”

"CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAST RESORT, suffocation, no breathing, don’t give a fuck if i cut my arm bleeding! "

And one in Spanish

“No te puedo dejar de querer, nos hemos reido y llorado los 3, yo quiero darte mi alegria, mi guitarra, mis poesias, y solo se me ocurre amarte”

The songs are (in order) : My own summer by deftones, The bad touch by the bloodhound gang, Wait and bleed by slipknot, Last resort by papa roach, Y solo se me ocurre amarte by Alejandro Sánz.

    Emmylou Harris wrote two that are so beautiful and so sad, if you need to cry, Boulder to Birmingham:

    "I don’t want to hear a sad song full of heartbreak and desire

    The last time I felt like this, I was in the wilderness, and the canyon was on fire

    And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn, I watched it burn"

    And also in the same song she sings - “well you really got me this time, and the hardest part is knowing I’ll survive” wow.

    If that somehow doesn’t work, Red Dirt Girl might.

    "She loved her brother, I remember back when

    He was fixing up a 49 Indian

    Told her, little sister gonna ride the wind, up around the moon and back again

    Well he never got farther than Vietnam, I was standing there with her when the telegram come for Lillian

    Now he’s lying somewhere about a million miles from Meridian "

    The whole start to Graceland by Paul Simon is pretty vivid:

    The Mississippi Delta Was shining like a national guitar.
    I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the Civil War.
    I’m going to Graceland, Graceland - Memphis, Tennessee
    I’m going to Graceland

    Poor boys and pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland
    My traveling companion is nine years old he is the child of my first marriage
    But I’ve reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland

    I have never been to Tennessee. But this intro really conjures up some vivid imagery of driving down a highway through some historic country, along a river in the company of a child - and being among many others going to the same place.

    It’s pure poetry.

        I didn’t downvote and I actually enjoy the song, but that’s a pretty vapid lyric and I might imagine someone felt it wasn’t a serious suggestion - though not the only one. Perhaps they will chime in and resolve the mystery.

        I grew up singing Pour Some Sugar On Me and Octopus’ Garden so I’m not one to judge.

    Lies are a funny thing, they slip through your finger tips because they never happened to you.

    If you’re going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.

    To answer the question:

    True, there’s been trouble and trickery, sir
    Trembling and tribulations
    Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
    You, sir, and your usurpations
    But my patience wears very thin
    When you play the violin

    from “When You Play the Violin” by the Gothic Archies. It’s not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.

    No particular order

    And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying Are the best I’ve ever had Tears for Fears, Mad World

    Despite all my rage, I’m still just a rat in a cage Bullet with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins

    Something more melodramatic

    Well, the rifleman’s stalking the sick and the lame Preacherman seeks the same, who’ll get there first is uncertain Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in Bob Dylan - Jokerman

    Superb acoustic cover here by John Cruz , just a dude, guitar and a pair of flip-flops.

    I have many many that resonate.

    On another note, Foster the People .with their “Pumped up Kicks” , what a juxtaposition, that incredible mix of what in the fucking hell lyrics, with a such a boppy tune. HeyYa from Outkast similarly I guess?.
