I hate just picking 5, and I'll inevitably be swayed by my mood, but in no particular order:

-So Hott - Kid Rock
-Beautiful - Christian Aguilera
-The Luckiest - Ben Folds
-Yesterday - The Beatles
-Life Is Beautiful - Sixx AM


So that's fairly eclectic, eh? As I said, it's pretty mood driven and I hate having to only pick 5

The list gives a link to my favourite version that I could find on youtube.
Anyway, ummm... My top five (in no real order):


1. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Great song, and a song that I think is quite hopeful.


2. Wheels of Confusion - Black Sabbath

Complete opposite of the 'hope' thing with stairway to heaven, but meh. There we go.


3. Freewill - Rush


4. Fountain of Lamneth - Rush

Another Rush song- this is a 20 minute long epic of there's, and there seems to be a section of it to suit almost every mood I have.
(The link is for part 1 only, but the gap between the two sections is fairly well placed)


5. White and Nerdy - Weird Al

Well, you did say songs that we relate to I'm white and currently playing a game called 'Starport: Galactic Empires' ... Anyway, its a great song, so meh.


Martin

Muse - Time Is Running Out
Augie March - One Crowded Hour
Good Charlotte - Predictable
Adele - Hometown Glory
Linkin Park - Points of Authority

First off, this is my first post. Secondly, i know im 14, so please dont pester me about my age. Lastly, Hello Everyone! Here i go .... 1. Im like a Lawer-Fall out boy 2. Listen to your heart-DHT 3. Burnin up-Jonas Bros 4. Dragosta din tei- O-Zone 5. Any song by Cascada ^^ (huge Cascada fan)

Welcome to GA! That's an interest list even though I don't know any of them.

You don't know any of them? Wow, Tim!



Welcome dude



I love this one! It's one of my favs, I really like FOB!

Tim, perhaps you know it as "You and Me"? It's quite popular.


Eh, it's okay, a bit over played and a tad over-dramatic IMO.


Don't like this one to be honest with you.


LOVE this one! I thought it was called numa numa yai though?

There was actually a discussion of this song a couple of years ago in the Domaholics forum.


Oh yes! I quite like her too

Particularly "Everytime We Touch"

LOL, I started a discussion of this song a couple of years ago

The video rocks!

I am a huge music fan and I relate many songs to my life. This is more than five, more like the soundtrack to my life.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication, Snow, and Scar Tissue

Verve Pipe: The Freshman.... This song is amazing, download it now!!

Oasis: Whats The Story (Morning Glory)

Across The Universe Soundtrack: Strawberry Fields Forever

The Beatles: Let It Be

Donovan: Hurdu Gurdy Man

Across The Universe Soundtrack: Across the Universe

My Chemical Romance: Famous Last Words

FM Static: Tonight

Chicago Soundtrack: Roxie

There are so many more...

I love several of these!!

Awesome picks, Shelby!

I'm definitely going to check out the others!

You got some good taste. Cascada is one of my favourite bands, as well as DHT, and you can't not love Dragosta din tei (Numa Numa is the given title, but it's really Dragosta din tei, according to a good friend of mine who loves Romanian pop music)

So here's mine: (bear in mind- rocky relationship right now).

~"Come In With the Rain" by Taylor Swift
~"Foolish Games" by Jewel
~"Rehab" by Rihanna
~"Sober" by Kelly Clarkson for totally different reasons than you're probably thinking (yes, you. don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about )
~"Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis

Yeah. Some of these songs have different impacts on me than other people because of things I've seen/read/heard, like the dance to "Bleeding Love" on the tv show So You Think You Can Dance.

~Mikie

Wake up Call - Maroon 5
(It's a catchy tune)

Lips of an Angel - Hinder
(For some reason I just love this song when I'm hanging out with friends

Bad Boy - Cascada
(I love cascada lol)

Find a New Way - Young Love
(I had to listen to this song for close to 2 months, but I love it nonetheless)

Shake It - Metro Station
(It's catchy )

Proud - Heather Small
(I heard this song at New Jersey Pride and fell in love with it)

Give it Up - Kevin Aviance
(I hear this song everytime I goto the clubs in NYC)

Tequila - The Champs

I can't help but cry every time I listen to the song "The Rose" by Bette Midler. It reminds me about the fragility of love, yet the affirmation of its strength.
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed ( A )
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed ( B )
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need ( A )
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed ( B )

The first three lines in the first stanza suggest the harsh reality of love, as if love is something malicious or wounding. The last line in the stanza dispels the rumors that love has to be something painful and overwhelmingly "aching", and instead, affirms that love still exists after hardships. The definite pronoun "I" over the indefinite pronouns "some" demonstrate that the narrator is almost affirming his or her love for someone else, and that the lover does not need to worry about the vague meanings of love that people are assuming. "I", has a stronger emphasis due to it breaking the rhythm of the first word of the four lines in the first stanza. Using the indefinite pronoun some, the narrator seem to indicate a vagueness of not only the people making that claim, but the claim that is being suggested as well.
All right, I don’t want to go on with the rest haha, because I’ve got my own homework to deal with haha. But go listen to this song if you have the time.

Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
Its the one who wont be taken, the one who cant seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember that in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose.

Alrighty lets add to that, my fab 5:
In no particular order:

Who am I- Will Young

Blame- Carla Vallet

Sadeness- Enigma

The Wings- Gustavo Santaolalla-(this one gets me teary eyed)

Love at First Sight- Kylie Minogue

im so happy that you guys are actuelly partesepating in this! YAY! XD p.s i relized 5 songs is hard for sum of you so, hell with it list as many as you would like.

~L~

Great analysis, Jovian!

I've always been really fond of that song as well and I think that sums up the first section nicely!

I just got The Classic Crime's new album The Silver Cord and "Just A Man" is a great song for me at the moment at least. Haha. Just the lyrics fit in pretty well. Along with "The Way That You Are" which is very much saying kinda be who you are, and somebody loves you. Haha, its nice and makes me feel happy. And "Salt in the Snow" is yet another good one from their new album, which isn't very "encouraging" to say the least. "Echoes" by Set Your Goals, is another song that is fitting well with my situation. In all honesty, most of the songs you guys posted I've never heard. Probably because I haven't used my radio in like 8 months. (But then again, not too many of you have probably heard most of the crap I listen to.) Anyway, (no offense) I generally was massively disappointed with FOB's new album. I mean, sure some songs were okay. (Hum Hallelujiah, Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?, and The (After) Life of the Party) but in general the new album lacked the angst I grew to love from them. Don't shoot me, because the rabid bandwagon girls at my school do enough of that.

At This Point in My Life by Tracy Chapman

Heaven on Earth by Britney Spears

Don'tcha by The Pussycat Dolls

Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield

Taking Over Me by Evanescence

Hmmm 5 songs that i can relate too. In no particular order i would have to say.

My Favorite Mistake - Sheryl Crow
Call Me When Your Sober - Evanescence
When You Kiss Me - Shania Twain
I'd Lie - Taylor Swift
Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks

hmmm, mine are a little random but...

Evil Angel - Breaking Benjamin
Whispers In the Dark - Skillet
Fairytales and Castles - Lifehouse
Listen To Your Heart - DHT (thats actually very f***ed up irony for me)
I'll Try - Jonatha Brooke

Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

Like its title this song really is beautiful and very uplifting. It's a song that people from all walks of life can relate to because of its message--that no matter who or what you are, you deserve to be treated with love and respect. And that is how things should be in our world.

Memory: Myself sitting in bed the summer of 2006 feeling like crap. But feeling a bit better afterwards.

Pictures of You - Last Goodnight

This song reminds me of the past, the main subject being photographs which always take me back to the good old days spent with my family and friends. I don't allow myself to regret what's happened in my life--what I did or didn't do--but there are times when I think back and go, "Hmm, I wonder how things could have turned out if I'd done this..." So yes, this song makes me nostalgic for the best and worst times in the past eighteen years.

Memory: High school building after graduation. My family, my friends. My gorgeous crush with his toga cap on.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day

Mostly when I listen to this song I'm reminded of what life was like when I was much younger (13-15). I used to get very emotional (so sue me) and there'd been times when it felt like I really was walking down a "lonely road". I know, I know, corny. Whatever.

Memory: Cold. Dark. Sidewalk.

Miracle - Paramore

Brighter than the previous song, this one reflects the more optimistic side of me. I mean when I'm sad, I can be really REALLY sad. But when I'm happy...oh boy, life's a miracle. And listening to this brings back times when I felt like I could just take the plunge and not be afraid to take chances.

Memory: Mostly fantasies about a certain someone. My facial muscles hurting from smiling a lot.

Nobody's Fool - Avril Lavigne

My "gay athem". This one is a personal favorite because it expresses the issues I feel strongly about and in some way sums up the experiences I've had growing up. All my life there was always someone (a LOT of someones) telling me how to be, how to act and not in a good way. It's one thing when your mother tells you to not to slouch at the dinner table and it's another when a guy at school tries to convince you that liking guys is wrong.

It's tough for everyone, having people tell you that you're wrong, trying to make you feel weak. And when I listen to this song I'm not. I'm not weak. I feel strong, confident, like I'm on top of the world. Bigoted jerks can say what they want, they can try to change me, sure. But it won't work 'cause I'm Nobody's Fool!

Sorry for the long post, I sort of got carried away.

1.Forever Young -Aphaville
2.What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie
3.24- switchfoot
4. 1 year 6 months- yellow card
5.Build god Then We'll talk - Panic!@ the disco

wow looking at this list they all seem kinda random but they all represent me in a way.

Hmm... That's a tough question, innit?

There's many songs out there that mean something personal to me - are related to certain events in my life, or just remind me of people. But a song I can relate to?

Hmm.

James Blunt - 1973

I know, I know - "but everyone hates James Blunt!", "girl, you listen to metal!", bla bla bla. You wouldn't believe how many variations of those two sentences I've heard. But - this is a very, very personal song to me, because the first time I heard it on the radio, it was only a few weeks after I admitted to myself that I was - am - in love with a girl who was - ironically - named Simona, and it was... It was almost like a sign to me, you know? It's just special. Yeah.

MSI - Retard Song

That song is, well - retarded. No, I'm not trying to tell you something about me... XD! But if you go read the lyrics, you can see that it's actually rather sad. That's how I feel sometimes; I'm playing a clown on the outside, being all happy-go-lucky and carefree, but that's not really me, and it's hard to see that, because the darker side of my bipolarity usually shows itself through my songs and musings and stories, and people generally don't care enough to realize that.

Don't worry. I'm not emo : P.

Ladytron - Destroy everything you touch

*shrug* That's the universal truth of my life. Computers freeze when I'm in the same room, cell phones die when I borrow them, things break wherever I go. People die. Heh.

Neutral Milk Hotel - Communist Daughter

I'm not going to elaborate on this one... Some things are just too personal. But yeah; this song is me. The name, the lyrics, the melody. It just is.

Within Temptation - Running up that hill

This makes me feel at home. The first time I heard it, I almost went into a bloody trance. It just... Does. When I listen to it, I feel like I belong, like I'm wanted and at peace and home. Not the lyric itself; just the general feeling of the song. Everything together.

As for the lyrics... I'd do that for the people I love - and that's my greatest fault. The irony of my life. I'd swap our places, take their pain and suffering if I could. Sometimes, I care so little, feel so cold and emotionless, but I'm not, not really, and I'm only learning now that all this time when I thought I couldn't feel, I was wrong, because I do and I'd do anything for the ones I care about. It's the weakling in me, that caring, loving part, but... I'm just happy that I was strong enough to go through my teenage years and realize that I'm capable of love. (:

---

I agree with ANCK on this one; looking back at the songs, they seem really random and they're (mostly) not the type of songs I usually listen to, but in a way, they're all a part of me.

Five songs... why such a small amount? haha

1. Tell Me Why - Taylor Swift
Obvious reasons if you listen to the song ever
2. Forever & Always - Taylor Swift
The best song about how things could and always DO go wrong...
3. Love Story - Taylor Swift
Um yeah, the song is perfect...
4. The Average - Breathe Electric
It just seems fitting to me, the first line is "I've got a saturday night and I'm all alone" *jumps up and down going "me, me, me!!!"*
5. The Way I Loved You - Taylor Swift
I just like this song...


Hmmm.... think I am a fan of Taylor Swift? haha

I think my list is going to be nothing like anyone else's, but...

1. Suicidio, from La Gioconda, by Ponchielli, performed by Maria Callas.
The lyrics say it all, particularly:
Eng: "Suicide! / in these terrible moments / you alone remain to me ... lost is my love / I have overcome / the fever of jealousy; / now I sink, exhausted / into darkness..."
It: "Suicidio! / In questi fieri momenti / tu sol mi resti ... perdei l'amore / vinsi l' infausta / gelosa febre! / Or piombo esausta / Fra le tenèbre..."

2. The Two Trees, lyrics by W.B. Yeats, sung by Loreena McKennitt
"Beloved, gaze in thine own heart / the holy tree is growing there..."

3. Desired Constellation, Bjork
"It's slippery when / Your sense of justice / Murmurs underneath / And you're asking: / How am I going to make this right?"

4. Io son medea, from Medea, by Cherubini, performed by Maria Callas
This is very useful when I'm feeling vengeful.
Eng: "Black furies, to me / come, give me this blood!"
It: "Atre furie, a me / date orsu questo sangue!"

5. The Second Element, Sarah Brightman
"Wasn't it you who was filling my dreams? / Everywhere, you are rife."

Not sure if I'll give explanations to these. I will say that if you asked me this question two years ago, and ask it again in a few years, my answer would be different each time. So instead of giving a completely accurate answer, which would involve a fair amount of soul-searching I'm no particular mood to do at the moment, I'll give a few songs that, at some point, were "my" songs. Not coincidentally, these are my favorite songs by these artists.

"I'll think of a reason later" -- LeeAnn Womack
"Fast Cars and Freedom" --Rascal Flatts
"Photograph" -- Nickelback
"When I'm Gone" -- Three Doors Down
"Breakaway" -- Kelly Clarkson


Bonus Track (and explanation):
"Bleed it Out" Linkin Park. Everybody who has attempted to create, and especially anyone who has tried to write, should be able to relate to this song.

Also,


Heh. I like this version of the song too. I have rather negative connotations with the original, which as you can see from my list has nothing to do with it being a country song.

Just starting this list, I have a feeling it will be more then 5. Here it is:

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse
Make Your Own Kind of Music - Mama Cass
Memorial - Explosions In The Sky
Transformer - Gnarls Barkley
Just A Thought - Gnarls Barkley
A Little Better - Gnarls Barkley
Otherwise - Morcheeba
Over and Over - Morcheeba
Used To Love You - John Legend

edit* The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana (cover)

See? I was right.
