I noticed the long trend of song-related discussion threads for faves, and this came to mind. What songs have inspired you the most, in other words, what songs have reflected your life or inspired your poetry most of all? My list: Shakira- Underneath Your Clothes Counting Crows- Murder Of One Dave Matthews Band- Dancing Nancies Shakira- Poem To A Horse David Gray- Silver Lining Matchbox Twenty- Kody Default- Wasting My Time John Mayer- Why Georgia Why? Dave Matthews Band- Crash R.E.M- Shining Happy People Sheryl Crow- A Change (Would Do You Good) Sheryl Crow- If It Makes You Happy Shakira- Ciega Sordomuda What is yours?  Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (07-23-2002 01:58 AM).] |

I am now going to start my list with a song that will confuse the hell out of anyone who has read any of my other song lists.  The Change, as performed by Garth Brooks. To fall back into my style: Anything by Jim Steinman. the perfect drug by Nine Inch Nails (this thing inspired six novels; Mike can vouch for it )Ribbons by The Sisters of Mercy. The entire album Pornography, by The Cure. Anything by Faith & the Muse. So there y' go. Another look into my mind. Music is allll that's in there. written in blood before everything went black |

Anything from the pain-drenched, sometimes coke-addled mind of Brian Wilson. One of the few songwriters of such beauty even among corruption, that it brings me to tears (honestly). He's one of my creative heroes, actually. She said burn ... together. |

I have a few oldies for all you younger poets. "If you don't know me by now" by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston And most of Sara Maclaughlin's songs, the lyrics really say so much. |

Song that most reflects my life, that is easy, 'Forgiven' by Alanis Morissette, seriously think that song was written for me Song that inspires me the most...a song that probably none but the South Africans among you will know 'Stand Proud' by Just Jinger |

so many, so little time. Ok the main ones. Find the river by R.E.M. one of their best songs. Almost anything by Leonard Cohen. He sings of hope, love and despair like no one else. There was a good reason why Kurt Cobain sung about a "Leonard Cohen afterworld" The boatman's call by Nick Cave, it is my love album, especially "Into my arms" Design for life and Small Black flowers by the manic street preachers. SOme songs by the Patti Smith Group. and lastly and most importantly Joy Division. They are my misery blanket. The true merchants of misery, they make Radiohead sound like bubblepop, but even at their darkest their is something evocative about their music. "The eternal" never fails to send shivers down my spine. Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood |

So many so so so many! Here's a fraction: Ye now are sorrowful-- Brahms Ode to Joy-- Beethoven Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring-- Bach Amazing Grace I miss my friend-- Darryl Worley It's been awhile-- Staind Hymn of Promise All cried out -- Allure and 112 Bethlehem Morning-- Sandi Patti Above all-- Micheal W Smith Somewhere in the night-- Micheal W Smith My Redeemer Lives -- Nichole Mullen Not a Day Goes By-- Lonestar Love Song-- Third Day This Road-- Jars of Clay He was more than a Man -- RA West (my uncle) Music is my comfort and joy, a gift from God to help me go through whatever He puts on me... Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. [This message has been edited by LoveBug (09-18-2002 06:52 PM).] |

Today I had my headphones on listening to Tori (who else? ) and my friend wanted to talk to me. I told her that I couldn't hear her and she told me to take my headphones off. I told her no, the world is better when there's music. "you don't need one of these to let me inside of you" T.A. |

Like Catalinamoon, my favorites, other than contemporary country and southern gospel, are; My cup runneth over (with love) Everybody loves somebody sometime 'Til there was you Chances are OK I'll stop boring you Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
