Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

I love this song. It was recorded for first time by the Danish Lis Sorensen, titled "Brændt". Then, it was translated to English and were recorded a lot of covers by Ednaswap, Trine Rein, Off by One ...

My favorite version is this.

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn:


Lyrics:

I thought I saw a man brought to life,
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified,
He showed me what it was to cry,
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored.
You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for,
But I don't know him anymore,
There's nothing where he used to lie,
My conversation has run dry,
That's what's goin' on. Nothing's fine I'm torn...
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I am shamed,
Lying naked on the floor,
Illusion never changed,
Into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,
You're a little late, I'm already torn,
So I guess the fortune teller's right,
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light,
But you crawelled beneath my veins and now,
I don't care, I have no luck, I don't miss it all that much,
There's just so many things,
That I can't touch I'm torn.
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I am shamed,
Lying naked on the floor,
Illusion never changed,
Into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,
You're a little late, I'm already torn,
Torn,
There's nothing where he used to lie,
My insparation has run dry,
That's what's goin' on ... nothing's right I'm torn
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I'm ashamed,
Lying naked on the floor,
Illusion never changed,
Into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel,
I'm cold and I'm ashamed,
Bound and broken on the floor,
You're a little late, I'm already torn,

Torn.

The Cardigans - For What It's Worth

I'm still feeling romantic. This is a beautifull song by The Cardigans.
It's about a couple who have an ocassional relationship, one of them starts to have real feelings towards the other one and this situation causes the breakup.

For What It's Worth:


Lyrics:
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Hey baby, come 'round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight

A 4-letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I'm gonna run, run, run
Till the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse, I love you!

Hey, please baby, come back
There'll be no more loving attacks
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The 4-letter word is out of my head
Come on around, get back in my bed
Keep making me feeling alright

For what it's worth, I like you
And what is worse, I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun, fun, fun
Till I said I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do, oh
For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

Kiss Me

Today I'm felling romantic, again. I listened this song the other evening in an old cd, and I have it in my head since then.

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me


This is New Found Glory's version. It's a little more punk.


Lyrics:

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly beside the green green grass
Swing, swing, swing that spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken treehouse
Swing me up on its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked down your father's map

Oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and makes the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me

Cat Stevens - Father and Son

I studied this song in my english class when I was a kid. It's about a father that not understands his son, who wants to start a new life, and the son who thinks that it is his time and wants to fly away of his father's arms.



Father and Son - Lyric:

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
