song for parting

[Walsingham]

I like to sing, and am told I've got a good voice.

 

I know of plenty of songs about losing the one you love, or being in love. I want a good singing song for when your loved one leaves for a couple of days. You know, when you won't see them for a week, and as they walk away you can feel this big empty gap in your arms.

 

Failing that, let's write one.

Nomeansno - Lonely

 

It's hardly rubbish though.

Oh gosh, I'm not a very good writer. I don't know...

 

But have you ever listened to "Broken" by Seether w/ Amy Lee? I know it doesn't come from the likely source you'd expect, but I found it surprisingly touching.

[Baley]

Okay, I've written one:

 

Vivisection

 

 

Dejection sitting on a bench

The Park is empty now

Your head is shrieking

Separated from it's body.

 

Vivisection, sweet Vivisection.

Vivisection, sweet Vivisection.

 

I said hello to you

My penis hastily rising

You said no to me

Your head was so purty

I needed to touch it

You screamed

My blade went silent

Puke around me

Puke inside me

I touched you

You were so pretty

So pretty.

Vivisection, sweet Vivisection.

Vivisection, sweet Vivisection.

Where have you gone?

Must I search inside of you?

I will, I will, soon

The night, it's here, for us.

 

Vivisection, sweet Vivisection.

Vivisection, sweet Vivisection.

[Blarghagh]

That is so not fair. I love to sing but I have a terrible voice.

 

*walks away dejectedly*

 

Oh yeah, EElS' "It's A Mother****er" is a great love song if you don't mind the profanity.

 

Also, the clich

[Pope]

Air - Playground Love

[Gromnir]

Oh, I know something

About the ways of loving

And I tell you, baby,

I think something's wrong

Look to the sky above and the mud below

Something drives me crazy, got to got to get away

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!

 

Without a doubt, I'm telling you I'm burnt out

My tank is running on empty for far too long

Woah! I need fuel 'cause I'm getting so low

Not the kind you give me, it makes me feel so bad

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!

 

I need fuel, not the kind you give me (it)

Makes me feel so bad

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!

 

I can't believe

I'm still around

It's getting kinda late

Gonna leave

For a change of scenery

I'm going crazy

It's not the same

Since you've been around

 

I'm crazy, so crazy

You treat me like a dirty clown

You're always kickin' my dog around

I never get nothin' but constant abuse from you

You couldn't care less what I think, or my point of view

 

You're always puttin' the make on my friends, always giving

Them eyes and the dirty lies 'bout me and you, well I'm

Through, it's the end of the line for you babe, here's a

Ticket one way Cincinnati, I'm sendin' you home to your ma

And your daddy, so don't try to call me, you'll only be wastin' your

Time!

 

Oh, I know something

About the ways of loving

And I tell you, baby,

I think something's wrong

Look to the sky above and the mud below

Something drives me crazy, got to got to get away

I need fuel - but - not the kind you give me

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!

 

Goodbye, goodbye!

Goodbye, goodbye!

 

is actually a pretty upbeat song... in spite of lyrics. the crazy bastard just can't seem to leave. 'course the chances that you can hit notes that elfman does is pretty slim. the guy may be a kook, but he gots RANGE.

 

 

HA! Good Fun!

Seether w/ Amy Lee - Broken

 

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

 

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

 

You've gone away, you don't feel me here, anymore

 

The worst is over now and we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

 

[x2]

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

 

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

 

You've gone away

You don't feel me here anymore

1000 Words

Final Fantasy X-2 Concert Version

 

 

I know that you're hiding things

Using gentle words to shelter me

Your words were like a dream

But dreams could never fool me, not that easily.

 

I acted so distant then

Didn't say goodbye before you left

But I was listening

You'll fight your battles far from me, far too easily.

 

"Save your tears, 'cause I'll come back"

I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door

But still I swore

To hide the pain I when turned back the pages

Shouting might have been the answer

What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?

But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart!

 

'Cause a thousand words

Call out through the ages

They'll fly to you

Even though I can't see

I know they're reaching you

Suspended on silver wings

Oh, a thousand words, 1000 embraces

Will cradle you, making all of

Your weary days seem far away

They'll hold you foreverrrrrrrrr!

 

Oh, a thousand words (a thousand words)

Have never been spoken (oh yeah)

They'll fly to you

They'll carry you home (carry you home)

And back into my arms

Suspended on silver wings (on silver wings!)

And a thousand words (oh!)

Call out through the ages (call through the ages!)

They'll cradle you (oh yeah!)

Turning all of the lonely years to only days (only days!)

They'll hold you foreverrrrrrrrr!

Ohhhhhhhh, a thousand words.

for chrissakes, you even choose songs from ff?

 

HA! Good Fun!

[Meshugger]

Errr, i don't know where to start here, but i'll give a few suggestions.

 

1. A relationship is very personal to for me, so the very idea of starting a thread about suggestions how sing a lovesong sounds odd to me IMO.

 

2. I'm sure you're just a bit confused here, women don't really care what you sing/write to them, it's how you do it that matters.

 

3. Thus, i'm pretty sure that you are sane and don't sing a song like Slayer - "Sex.Murder.Art." to her. No reason ask on a public board about it, just sing what's on your mind when she leaves. It's not that she's going to say: "I really like your voice, but the lyrics suck. P*ss off!" And if she do, you better reconsider your relationship with her.

Get on American Idol so we can see how good you are.

[Walsingham]

I not talking about singing to her! This is so I can let out the blues when she's gone.

 

Relationships are, of course, personal, and talking about them on a forum is slightly silly. But forcing yourself to be a little silly helps with preventing taking it too seriously. Which is obviously a good thing.

 

In general, though I really enjoy singing. Sing when I'm happy. Sing when I'm sad. I also play blues harmonica.

Each to its own i guess. No matter. If you're a blues-man, then there shouldn't be a problem finding a song about missing your loved one

Perfect song.

 

3 Doors Down - Here Without You

 

 

A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

 

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me

 

The miles just keep rollin'

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go

 

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl its only you and me

 

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it wont take away my love

And when the last one falls

When it's all said and done

It gets hard but it wont take away my love

 

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl its only you and me

He's right. Go to the source. My preference is John Lee but it won't be the same without his guitar work & vocal whimsy:

Better to try something neo-bluesy. Waits nicely provides a self-indulgent mix of comical sorrow:

"Look's Like I'm Up **** Creek Again"

by Tom Waits

 

Well the sun came in my window Wednesday morning

And your love was like the golden rays again

Now I'm lying here on a Thursday, and you're lovin someone new

And it looks like I'm up **** creek again

 

And I can't help thinking of your lovin ways

And I cried a quart of tears since you've been gone

And I can't face the morning by myself love

And it looks like I'm up **** creek again

 

Since you've been gone, I cry all the time

And I cannot stand leavin you behind

So I'll pull myself together, And I'll dry away my tears

But the morning light has brought back memories

And I can't face the morning by myself love

And it looks like I'm up **** creek again

So I'm out a walkin on this dusty highway

Cause you've given me no reason for to stay

And I'll walk until I've found someone who loves me not in vain

And it looks like I'm up **** creek again

And it looks like I'm up **** creek again
