Plz don’t fuck up this thread with bull shit or the “report” button it is. It is a sincere topic that deserves to stay sincere whether it is in off-topic or not.

I’ll start …

“Gold” By Prince

There’s a mountain & it’s mighty high
You cannot see the top unless you fly
And there’s a molehill of proven ground
There ain’t no where 2 go if you hang around

Everybody wants 2 sell what’s already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell what’s already been told
What’s the use of money if you ain’t gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain’t gold
All that glitters ain’t gold, mmm

There’s an ocean of despair
There are people livin’ there
They’re unhappy each and every day
But hell is not fashion so what you tryin’ 2 say?

Everybody wants 2 sell what’s already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell what’s already been told
What’s the use of money if you ain’t gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain’t gold, no no
All that glitters ain’t gold, no no

There’s a lady, 99 years old
If she led a good life, heaven takes her soul
Now that’s a theory and if you don’t wanna know
Step aside and make a way 4 those who want 2 go

Everybody wants 2 sell what’s already been sold (Sold)
Everybody wants 2 tell what’s already been told (Told)
What’s the use of bein’ young if you ain’t gonna get old? (Old)
Even at the center of fire there is cold (Cold)
All that glitters (glitters) ain’t gold, no no no no no
All that glitters ain’t gold
Alright

All that glitters, all that glitters, all that glitters… ain’t gold

Na na na na na na na (Gold [x4])
Na na na na na na na (Gold [x4])
Gold, gold, gold
All that glitters ain’t gold, gold, gold
All that glitters ain’t gold, gold, gold (Na na na na na na na)
All that glitters ain’t gold, gold, gold (Na na na na na na na)
All that glitters ain’t gold, oh
Oh yeah
1 2… 1 2 3, let’s go!

(Na na na na na na na) [repeat]

You are now an official member of the New Power Generation
Welcome 2 The Dawn

All that glitters ain’t gold (Gold) [repeat & loop]

Once created in his image, now destroyed in his fury.

I’m not upset with what you said Frink. I have learned to better understand some of what you post as it is meant, LOL. I got what you were saying and I also understand that I can contact a Moderator if I feel it is needed.

I want the entire forum to be a nice place for all of us, not just myself. I would rather try to make it better if I can.

I said I wasn’t knocking you and I stand by what I said.

Play in the Sunshine Lyrics
Prince

Play, play, play,
Ooo doh, awh, ooo, ooo, ooo

We want to play in the sunshine
We want to be free
Without the help of a margarita or ecstacy
We want to kick like we used to
Sign up on the dotted line
We gonna dance every dance
Like it’s gonna be the last time

We got to, play in the sunshine
Turn all the lights up to ten
I want to meet you (meet you), and kiss you (kiss you),
Love you (love you), and miss you (miss you)
Do it all over again, do it all over again

We gonna play in the sunshine
We’re gonna get over
I’m feelin’ kind of lucky to night
I’m gonna find my four leaf clover
Before my life is done
Some way, some how, I’m gonna have fun, awh

Play in the sunshine

We gonna love all our enemies
Till the gorilla falls off the wall
We’re gonna rock him
We’re gonna roll him
We’re gonna teach him that love will make him tall (so tall)

Aah, pop goes the music
When the big white rabbit begin to talk
And the color green will make your best friend leave ya
It will make 'em do the walk
But that’s cool
'Cause one day, everyday will be a yellow day
And let’s play,

Woo, y’all, (gonna get over), over
I’m feelin’ kind of lucky to night
I’m gonna find my four leaf clover
Before my life is done
Some way, some how, I’m gonna have fun, ooo ooo ooo, awh, yawh

Play, play, play, play, play, play, play, play woo
We gonna play in the sunshine
We’re gonna get over
I’m feelin’ kind of lucky to night
I’m gonna find my four leaf clover
Before my life is done
I’m gonna find my way and some how have fun, yawh, awh, y’all
Some way, some how, I’ve just got to have fun

(Play), (play),
(Play) no, (play) no, (play) no
(Come on, play) No! (Play) no! (Play play play) yea!

Drummer, do your thing
Drummer, drummer, do your thing, woo
Drummer, drummer, drummer
Can I get some of that? Wait a minute, ha ha ha

Let’s get out of here (yeah)
(Play, in the sunshine)
We’re not afraid to (play, la la la in the sunshine, la la)
We are going to
(Play, la la la in the sunshine, la la)
(Play, la la la in the sunshine, la la)

Not completely true. And there’s no need to shout.

Where were you in '77?

If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language

I can see by your coat, my friend
You’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won the war ?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ 'bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us

Go, take your sister then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don’t need us

And it’s a fair wind blowin’ warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I’ll set a course and go

“Wooden Ships” is a song written and composed by David Crosby, Paul Kantner, and Stephen Stills.

“First feel fear, then get angry. Then go with your life into the fight.” - Bill Mollison

Pick Yourself Up
Nat “King” Cole & George Shearing

Pick yourself up…
Take a deep breath…
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

Nothing’s impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground.
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off
And start all over again.

Don’t lose your confidence
If you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you’ll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again
They picked themselves up
Dust themselves off
And start’d all over again.

Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you’ll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath…
Pick yourself up…
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

Touch Me - The Doors

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now, touch me, babe
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now, touch me, babe
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks is the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time

Oh I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever

It’s powerful lyric - with even more energy in the tune - and whether you believe it’s about life, love, death, a funeral, a wedding, an affair, togetherness, or something else, it stays in my mind as a beautiful reminder that we often see the world differently…

Ceremony, by New Order - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWPIotDeNLs

also this isn’t too bad (a bit of a cliche), but

There are places I’ll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

In My Life by Lennon/McCartney

Not a great fan of the tune, but the lyrics sums up (for me) how important it is for many people to look back with happiness, fondness good feelings or just a smile - and start the day afresh to create some more (I’ll stop with the hippiness now 😉)

(Just Like) Starting Over - John Lennon

This song deserves a mention due to its lyrics being incredibly positive and wonderful, but given what happened immediately after its release, I can’t think of it in that way.
