Musik und die Gefühle... Erahnt Ihr die Bedeutung der Texte???

[Ford Prefect]

Von Johnny Cash mag ich ein Lied recht gerne, was von Tim Hardin wohl für Bobby Darin geschrieben wurde. Jedenfalls hat Mr. Cash zusammen mit seiner Frau June Carter auch eine wunderschöne Version davon veröffentlicht. Darin gibt es einige Textunterschiede zur ursprünglichen Variante (im Prinzip jenes was June singt) und irgendwie habe ich den genauen Text von Cash nicht im Netz gefunden, so dass ich hier mal vom eigenen Gehör ausgegangen bin und den Text entsprechend verändert habe. Korrekturen, bzw ein Auffinden der kompletten Lyrics bitte melden:

Johnny Cash & June Carter
If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If you were a carpenter
And I were a lady
I’d marry you anyway
I’d have your baby

If a tinker was my trade
would I still find you,
I’d be carrin' the pots you made,
followin' behind you.

Refrain:
Save your love through loneliness,
Save your love through sorrow,
I gave you my onliness,
Give me your tomorrow.

If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you miss your color blouse,
and your soft shoe shining?

If you were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
I’d not miss my color blouse
And my soft shoe shining

Refrain

If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
I’d answer you, "Yes I would”
and would you not be above me

If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
I’d marry you anyway
I’d have your baby

Refrain

[C'est Moi]

Bei dem Lied muss ich immer an ein bestimmtes Bild denken:

Titel: Back in the Saddle Again
Interpret: Gene Autry

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again

[C'est Moi]

Titel: Last Kiss
Interpret: Pearl Jam

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy’s car
We hadn’t driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead

I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right
I’ll never forget the sound that night
The screamin tires, the bustin glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

When I woke up the rain was pourin down
There were people standin all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed

Well now she’s gone
Even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Mein absolutes Lieblingslied zur Zeit. Einfach toller Text...

[MrData]

Mal ein Song von Linkin Park, vorher noch kurz zum Thema: Im ersten Album waren einige Songs, die mich damals eigentlich sehr an meine Situation damals erinnert hat, und hat mir irgendwie in einer schwierigen Zeit "beigestanden" indem ich mich einfach mit den Songs, bzw. den Geschehnissen im Text identifizeieren konnte. War damals auch ein wenig depressiv, war aber immer gut drauf wie ich Linkin Park hören konnte, und so kams dass ich irgendwann den gesamten Text von Hybrid Theory auswendig konnte. Reanimation hab ich eigentlich kaum gehört und bei Meteora fehlen mir auch nicht mehr viele Songs die ich nicht auswendig kann
Naja nun zum Text:

Linkin Park Lying from you:

When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay I’m just
(Lying to bend the truth)
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m

[Chorus]
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you is me)

I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk for who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in
And now you think this person really is me and I’m
(Trying to bend the truth)
Cuz the more I push the more I’m pulling away cuz I’m

[Chorus]
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is ME)

This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This

[Chorus]
(You)
No turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is me)

sehr schönes Lied:

Through Her Eyes
Music by Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci

She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate

Inloving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed

And I know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same

She wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife

I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last

The door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes

[Dax]

Dream Theater - Hollow Years
lyrics by John Petrucci

He's just the kind of man
You hear about
Who leaves his family for
An easy out
They never saw the signs
He never said a word
He couldn't take another day

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl
You hear about
She'll never want another
She'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs
She'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
(Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
(Once the stone)
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
(Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear,)
Once the stone
(the crashing)
You're crawling under
(down of hollow years)
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear, the crashing down of hollow years)

Titel: Check The Meaning
Interpret: Richard Ashcroft

When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost
I don't know who I can trust
Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door
You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights
But it slowly will subside
And when it does, I take a step, I take a breath
And wonder what I'll find

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love

(The human condition, the human condition)

Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set
There's got to be something more
When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ
Are knocking down my door
I'm agnostic getting God, but man
She takes a female form
There's no time, no space, no law
We're out here on our own

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Got my mind meditating on love, love
Feel what I'm saying
Got my mind meditating on love, love

Check the meaning
(The human condition)
Check the feeling
(The human condition)

Guess it's life, doing it's thing
Making you cry, making you think
Yeah life, dealing it's hand
Making you cry and you don't understand
Life, doing it's thing
Making you cry now, making you think of
Pain, doing it's thing
Making you cry yeah, making you sing

Don't say it, don't say it's too late
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late, it's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late (It's never too late)
Don't, don't say it's too late

The human condition, the big decisions
The human condition, the big decisions

I'm like a fish with legs, I fell from the tree
I made a rocket (check the meaning), I made a wheel
I made a rocket (check the feeling), I swam the ocean (check the meaning)
I saw the moon (say a prayer), I seen the universe (and beyond)
I see you (check the feeling), I see me (check the meaning)
That's my reality
And while the city sleeps we go walking

It's a beautiful world
And when the city sleeps we go walking
We find a hole in the sky and then we start talking
And then we say "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Buy us some time, buy us some time"
Hear what I'm saying
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

It's gonna be alright

[C'est Moi]

Titel: American triangle
Interpret: Elton John

Seen him playing in his backyard
Young boy just starting out
So much history in this landscape
So much confusion, so much doubt
Been there drinking on that front porch
Angry kids, mean and dumb
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline
God hates fags where we come from

'Western skies' don't make it right
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming

See two coyotes run down a deer
Hate what we don't understand
You pioneers give us your children
But it's your blood that stains their hands

Somewhere that road forks up ahead
To ignorance and innocence
Three lives drift on different winds
Two lives ruined, one life spent

[C'est Moi]

Robbie Robertson - Hold back the Dawn

The sun was going down
Over Echo Park
Wet raven hair
Glowing in the dark
And that's when the fever would rise
And lord what a look in her eyes
From the moment that she blows out the light
We'd be lost in the forever night

Chorus:
Hold back the dawn
Hold back the dawn
Won't you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

I dreamt if I could lay you upon this
bed of straw
We may break the rules but we don't
break the law
Come across but the river's too wide
Come across but the river's too high
Over by the fountain where we meet
I will lay silver roses at your feet

Chorus

Now I have seen a painting
Old and hanging in a frame
And that painting was of you
Now how can you explain
From another place in time
Done many years ago
Why I'm haunted by this vision
Guess we'll never know
Then she turned and whispered in my ear
Can you feel my heart beat

Chorus

Won't you raise
Won't you raise up
Won't you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

Chorus

[C'est Moi]

Collin Raye - Love me

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923. Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me. He said "Boy you might not understand but a long, long time ago. Grandma's daddy didn't like me none but I loved your grandma so we had this crazy plan to meet
and run away together get married in the first town we came to and live forever. But nailed to the tree where we were Supposed to meet instead I found this letter and this is what it said.

If you get there before I do. Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Till I see you again, I'll be loving you
Love, me

I read those words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church
When me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry
In all my 15 years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

Between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love me

Dream Theater - Solitary Shell

He seemed no different from the rest
Just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best
And he was daddy's pride and joy

He learned to walk and talk on time
But never cared much to be held
And steadily he would decline
Into his solitary shell

As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in and out of his own world
But in every other way he was fine

He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell

A temporary catatonic
Madman on occasion
When will he break out
Of his solitary shell

He struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time

As a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fine

He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell

A momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell

[C'est Moi]

Kansas - Dust in the Wind

I close my eyes,
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams,
Pass before my eyes, that curiosity

C: Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind

Same old song,
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do,
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

C: Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
[2]

Don't hang on,
Nothing last forever but the earth and sky
It slips away,
And all your money won't another minute buy

C: Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind

Ich liebe diesen Song. Einfach wunderbar(er Text).

"Lone Star State Of Mind" (aus dem Film "The thing called love")

The more I hurt, the less I feel
The more I know, the less I rest in this lone star state of mind
The more I hurt, the less I feel
The more I know, the less I rest in this lone star state of mind
Say it straight, don't bend my ear
When I'm walking lost in the evening air
You two-step into my idle heart, tearing up my songs with minor cords now
The more I saw the less I worked
Now that can't be good for some boy out of love out touch out of lust
out of soul not of song
The more I hurt, the less I feel
written by River Phoenix

[C'est Moi]

U2 & Bruce Springsteen - Stand by Me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see,
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me.

So darling, darling,
Stand by me.
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand,
Stand by me,
Stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea,
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me.

And darling, darling,
Stand by me.
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand now,
Stand by me,
Stand by me.

So darling, darling,
Stand by me.
Oh, stand by me.
Oh, stand,
Stand by me,
Stand by me.

mist, das ende habe ich nicht gefunden

Stratovarius - Season Of Faith's Perfection

Music & lyrics: Tolkki
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seasons they come, seasons they go
Observing them in their perfect flow
Chaning my life as they pass me by
Drying my tears, letting them die
In the sunrise I am born again
In the sunset I die again

What will you do when all fails?
When you feel like a ship without its sails
When desperation fills your mind
And the pain makes you blind
In my silent truth I scream these words
THE HOPE IS LOUD!
Never give up

Season of faith's perfection
Hold on to your good thing
Every day there's a new chance
To start once again
Season of faith's perfection
Forgive yourself
Let go of the past
Be gentle, understand...
