My favorite song at the moment is Arvil Lavgines: Sk8er Boi, and Gollums song from Lord of the Rings TTT but I don't know the lyrics for that song.

He was a boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can i say
He wanted her
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

5 years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy
And Im just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock eachothers world

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

Avril Lavigne and Pink do great stuff, they do stuff I love from a genre I think is "meh".

There's a few damn good songs that I constantly listen to, but at this very moment my favorite song would be "Spieluhr" by Rammstein.

Lyrics:

Ein kleiner Mensch stirbt nur zum Schein
wollte ganz alleine sein
das kleine Herz stand still für Stunden
so hat man es für tot befunden
es wird verscharrt in nassem Sand
mit einer Spieluhr in der Hand

Der erste Schnee das Grab bedeckt
hat ganz sanft das Kind geweckt
in einer kalten Winternacht
ist das kleine Herz erwacht

Als der Frost ins Kind geflogen
hat es die Spieluhr aufgezogen
eine Melodie im Wind
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
und kein Engel steigt herab
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
nur der Regen weint am Grab
hoppe hoppe Reiter
eine Melodie im Wind
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Der kalte Mond in voller Pracht
h ört die Schreie in der Nacht
und kein Engel steigt herab
nur der Regen weint am Grab

Zwischen harten Eichendielen
wird es mit der Spieluhr spielen
eine Melodie im Wind
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
und kein Engel steigt herab
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
nur der Regen weint am Grab
hoppe hoppe Reiter
eine Melodie im Wind
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

Am Totensonntag hörten sie
aus Gottes Acker diese Melodie
da haben sie es ausgebettet
das kleine Herz im Kind gerettet

Hoppe hoppe Reiter
eine Melodie im Wind
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
und auf der Erde singt das Kind
hoppe hoppe Reiter
und kein Engel steigt herab
mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
nur der Regen weint am Grab

English Version:

A small human only pretends to die
It wanted to be completely alone
The small heart stood still for hours
So they decided it was dead
It is being buried in wet sand
With a music box in its hand

The first snow covers the grave
It woke the child very softly
In a cold winter night
The small heart is awakened

As the frost flew into the child
It wound up the music box
A melody in the wind
And the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider!
And no angel climbs down
My heart does not beat anymore
Only the rain cries on the grave
Up and down, rider
A melody in the wind
My heart does not beat anymore
And the child sings from the ground

The cold moon, in full magnificence
It hears the cries in the night
And no angel climbs down
Only the rain cries on the grave

Between hard oak boards
It will play with the music box
A melody in the wind
And the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider!
And no angel climbs down
My heart does not beat anymore
Only the rain cries on the grave
Up and down, rider
A melody in the wind
My heart does not beat anymore
And the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider!
My heart does not beat anymore

On Totensonntag they heard
This melody from the graveyard
Then they unearthed it
They saved the small heart in the child

Up and down, rider!
A melody in the wind
My heart does not beat anymore
And the child sings on the ground

Up and down, rider!
And no angel climbs down
My heart does not beat anymore
Only the rain cries on the grave

"Pink Spider/Misery" by hide. These songs literaly saved my life. Everytime I listen to them now, I want to melt and just get lost in their ecstacy. "Misery" presented me with an entirely new outlook on life and "Pink Spider" (hide's suicide song. The haunting metaphor. The legendary last shout.) gets me out of some tough times when I need to.


MISERY (ENGLISH TRANSLATION):
--------------------------------------

halleluya, la miserable, do you wanna show me how low and low?
halleluya, la miserable, do you wanna show me how low and low?
say halleluya

you looked happy with your pain as you flew down upon me
the daylight reached to kindly embrace your pain

halleluya, la miserable, are questions beginning to bloom
halleluya, la miserable, they're just trifle things
say halleluya

I had forgotten everything when night fell in the sky
small tragedies and shaking memories sitting at the gates to my dreams
the countless stars probably cried as they set
while the rising days just laughed, closing their wounds

stay free your misery
and hold me in your arms until the sadness goes away
kiss your misery
and we'll wither away together until we can learn to live like this
stay free my misery

stay free my misery
and forget the pain quickly
stay free my misery
and wait for the rain to clear away your tears

gentle words can only go so far
because you can't find them when you're crying
wrapping your small body in brilliant, vivid dreams

stay free my misery
stretch out and take my pained hands
stay free my misery
and take this hatred as well
stay free my misery

stay free your misery
and hold me in your arms until the sadness goes away
stay free your misery
and we'll wither away together until the sky can learn to love your laughter

halleluya, la miserable, I wanna show you how low and low
halleluya, la miserable, do you wanna show me how low and low?
halleluya, la miserable, I wanna show you how low and low
halleluya, la miserable, do you wanna show me how low and low?
say halleluya.

PINK SPIDER (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)
--------------------------------------------
you spin a thread of lies
you thought the small world was everything
hurting anything that came near
you thought the sky was a square

'this is the best it could ever get...' you said
but that's a lie

gaudy, your figure appears lonely
a bird of paradise engages you in a conversation
'take a butterfly's wings and come over here...
over here, everything is just what you want.'

pink spider
'I want to go'
pink spider
'I want wings'

not listening to the captured butterfly's pleas for its life
you stare at the sky
'I don't hurt you out of hatred...
but I don't have wings, and the sky is too high.'

'go ahead and use my wings, spider.
but you, who don't know the pain of continuously flying,
will realise someday that you were flying in a cage
and calling that freedom.'

can't fly well with borrowed wings
falling down head over heels

pink spider
'now it's hopeless'
pink spider
'although the sky is visible'
pink spider
'I'm a failure'
pink spider
'I want wings

over there in the sky
you can see the birds going south
'let's try to fly one more time
and cut up this thread in my own jet
as soon as this cloud passes by...'

pink spider
the sky is calling you
pink spider
pink spider

a pink coloured cloud is now drifting across the sky...

(to be continued...)




Seriously, if you can't stand hide's music...I think you have no soul.

Please try to see through Avril Lavinge. I mean, how do these lyrics speak to you?

He was a boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can i say


This is really just hackneyed crap. It stereotypes gender roles and promotes the idea of female codependency, that a girl can't be anything without a boy. And have you looked around your school lately? Are the boys that wear "baggy clothes" really looked down upon? If anything, it's the boys that don't dress like punks and skaters (or sk8trz) that are viewed as freaks. We're in the 21st century now. Girls don't reject their friends' choice of significant others because of their clothes. Nothing in this song is real. Look at your CD collection. Look at that of your friends too. Everybody listens to punk rock now, even the girls that do ballet. Quite honestly, there's no reason why this guy and that girl couldn't get together, but of course, there has to be drama and conflict, because what would a pop song be without teen angst? It's all contrived and market tested, faux-rebellion, just like the the clothes that go on the shelf at Hot Topic.

Find that song that speaks to you. Look beyond what's being served up to you on eMpTyV. Forge your identity out of your own experiences, not the unfulfilling, ever-passing emptyness that is pop.

leave it to some pompous jackass to tell people what to like and what not to like. yes, the song is bad on many many levels, but that doesn't mean you have the right to take it away from her, it just means you don't like it. pretty soon she'll realize it's retarded, at least let her reach that plane by herself.

I fail to see your point (or interpretation). I'm sure the song is pop fluff, but I don't see how it reinforces gender stereotypes. Care to go into deeper detail, or are you just causing trouble because you think you're "deep" and so far above the rest of us?

My advice: quit overanalyzing and telling people what they should (or in this case, shouldn't) listen to. If BlitzerYuna likes Avril Lavigne, then god-fucking-damn it, let her like it. Music is not always about a message. Don't be a fascist prick over small, irrelevant shit like this.

It's okay to have free thought, so long as it's the RIGHT TYPE of free thought, with you types isn't it?

Favortie song is hard to choose, Suo Gan comes to mind.

Huna blentyn yn fy mynwes,
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy'n dyn am danat,
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
Ni cha dim amharu'th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, anwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.

Huna'n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon,
Tithau'n gwenu'n ol dan huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron?

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddor;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y mor;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab

in the 21st century now huh? If you read all the lyrics, it talks about them growing up, and then hooking up after that. There's a marrige involved and crap. There for to have all of that happened, and end NOW. It would have had to start several years ago, in the last century, when they were young.

You're an idiot for expressing supreme knowledge (and sounding like a "pompous jack ass" while doing it) with out actualy having supreme knowledge. If you're going to be so sure of somthing when you go to talk about it, why not be sure.

Isn't StarWire the name of a cheesey electronics company?

I almost feel like I can't say anything remotely critical about any music without being labeled as some kind of elitest prick. So too, do posts like mine get commonly read as "listen what I tell you to!" demands. That's not my reason for posting. My reason for my post was that I feel that we have to be skeptical about pop. It's a one-way exchange of ideas that rarely benefit the listener in any way beyond the short term thrill. For something that we put on a pedestal and generously support without demanding much, pop doesn't improve our lives or give us any kind of fulfillment. If anything, it leaves us feeling empty and insignifcant. So it is our duty to ask something of it and to challenge the assumptions it makes and asks us to accept.

Supposing that there's a "RIGHT TYPE" of free thought is throwing out the idea of free thought altogether. I can only assume that BlitzerYuna likes Avril Lavinge because she saw her on MTV or heard her on the radio, which means that she didn't find her on her own (a process where one can learn just as much about themselves as they can about other kinds of music), but was basically exposed to Lavinge through a carefully planned corporate strategy that made her music impossible to avoid, then impossible not to recognize, and via the image factory of music video cable channels, impossible not to look up to and relate to. Everyone knows advertising is brainwashing, and we're all subject and victim to it. With nearly a century of psychology to draw on, record companies make us buy CDs the same way that Crest makes us buy their toothpaste, Volkswagon makes us buy their cars, and Old Navy makes us buy their clothes. I'm just trying to point this out, and I'm not under the belief that I'm somehow immune to it, or that anyone who falls victim to it is "stupid". That's just retarted.

The lyrics are at the top of this page. Read them and try to see what they're saying. What they mean. What they are saying to young girls. The girl doesn't get the boy, ends up alone and miserable. The other girl (presumably Lavinge) gets the boy, rides his success to the top and now lives the high life, thanks to him. The message? Girls cannot be happy on their own, but only with another boy, especially one that's rich, good looking, and sucessful. Add in a nod to MTV (throw the dog a bone?) and there's no way the song is not going to become a major hit.

I fail to see how I didn't make sense on my last post. I'm not putting anyone down or trying to cause trouble. Just trying to start some dialog, that's all.

Honestly, I have no idea what Starwire is. I thought I made it up, but apparently not. Oh well.

You really didn't respond to anything I posted. You just picked out a minor detail that had nothing to do with what I was saying, interpreted it in your own silly way, and then "disproved" the rest of my post based on it. Now try again, and actually respond to some of my ideas. We might actually learn something from each other this way.

And I find it rather odd that you're accusing me of "expressing supreme knowledge" and being a pompous jackass while you just posted a thread where you poke fun at people who like emo music. So, emo kids are "music fans that like to sit in the dark and cry to themselves over really sappy lyrics, sad things, love songs, they'll cry to just about anything."? And I sound like a pompous jackass? Look in the mirror my friend. :wink:

dude, you have fucked up visions. Did an MTV spokes person that stars in a pop band on the side molest you as a child or something? I hate pop, but everything you've said...... :| dude, you're full of shit

and the radio t.v. thing, avril lavigne has been an artist for over 3 years, you think she managed to stay ana rtist over the epriod of three years and NO ONE managed to listen to her.

Also the message it's comveying, I have some frishrl reiasong, theythink it's cute. It's not fucking with their head, they simpley think it's "CUTE" they are girls, they're entitled to that opinion. No one said avril changed their lvies, they simply tlike the music, you're a fucking moron, and you belong on the MTV boards so you can argue your crap with some one who cares.
