Ok so I bet you didn't expect to see me up here did you?
This is from Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion and I just think it fits...
I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Kate and Galen take the stage together to sing a duet. :) Kate's bits are in blue, Galen's in black, and bits sung together in dark cyan
The Second Time Around
Tony Bennett
Love is lovelier
The second time around.
Just as wonderful
With both feet on the ground.
It's that second time you hear
Your love song sung.
Makes you think, perhaps,
That love, like youth,
Is wasted on the young.
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall.
Like a friendly home,
The second time you call.
Who can say what brought us
To this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet
Love comes but once, and yet,
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around.

Time for another song I think from our recently reunited duo. Kate's lyrics are in Blue and Galen's are in Red - they sing together in Black
Can't Get You out of My Mind by Aqualung
Listen to this song at aqualung.net
Galen:"A kiss is not just a kiss"
Kate:"A smile is more than a smile. Maybe we get together."
Galen:"Maybe forever"
Kate:"Maybe just for a while. I've seen that look in your eye..."
Galen:"I've seen you wondering why. There's a centre of gravity..."
Kate:"Brings you near to me."
Galen:"Nearer all of the time."
Kate:"And I'm Petrified"
Galen:"Hypnotised... Everytime, you walk by..."
Both: "And I can't get you, out of my..."
Galen:"Thought you'd never be mine"
Kate:"I thought I was wasting my time"
Galen:"Darling everytime I think of you..."
Kate:"I can't believe it's true..."
Both:"That you're here by my side"
Galen:"And I'm petrified"
Kate:"Hypnotised...everytime..."
Galen:"...You walk by...And I'm Hypnotised"
Kate:"Petrified"
Both:"Everytime, you walk by...And I can't get you, out of my, mind....*Musical Instumental* "Can't... get... you..."

jade takes the mike and sing's her version of o town's "all or nothing" to sorrow...
i know when things are on your mind
that distant look is in your eyes
i thought with time you'd realize i'm right here, right here...
it's not the way I choose to live
and something somewhere's gotta give
as sharing this relationship gets older, older
you know i'd fight for you
but how could i fight somone who isn't even there
i've had the rest of you now i want the best of you
i don't care if that's not fair
cuz i want it all
or nothing at all
there's nowhere left to fall
when you reach the bottom
it's now or never
is it all
or are we just friends
is this how it ends
when the autumn leaves start to fall
you leave me here
with nothing at all
there are time it seems to me
i'm sharing you with memories
i feel it in my heart but i don't show it , show it
then there's times you look at me
as thought i'm all that you could see
those times i don't belive it's right
i know it, know it
don't make me promises
baby you never did know how to keep them well
i had the rest of you now i want the best of you
it's time to show and tell
cuz i want it all
or nothing at all
there's nowhere left to fall
when you reach the bottom
it's now or never
is it all
or are we just friends
is this how it ends
when the autumn leaves start to fall
you leave me here
with nothing at all
cuz you and i
could lose it all if you've got no more room
nowhere inside for me in your life
cuz i want it all
or nothing at all
there's nowhere left to fall
when you reach the bottom
it's now or never
is it all
or are we just friends
is this how it ends
when the autumn leaves start to fall
you leave me here
with nothing at all

Thought this was one for Ellie to sing...
18, you think you're free
To be what you wanna be
Have a job or 2 or 3, you'll say you're sorry
Don't try to run or fight
Ask how or when or why
Who cares what's wrong or right?
It's money that matters
Each day just like the next
We struggle on and on
In nightmares but we're still marching
Handcuffed to life again
Don't try, they'll only push you down
What's opportunity?
You've got what you wanted now
How long till I'm my own?
Independence doesn't start when you leave home
Locked in, can't get out
Your cube is your new home
4 walls, no windows, no doors
Hancuffed to life again
Don't try, they'll only push you down
What's opportunity?
You've got what you wanted now!
Tsunami Bomb - Take the Reins
Karaoke Bar
Sorrow steps upto the mike...
Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
For 'tis the rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum.
It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds.
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs.
Once I held the rarest rose that
ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the bud,
And stole my flower too soon
The loneliness of hopelessness
to search the ends of time,
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.
Ohh Love I'll never love..
Oh love I'll never love.
oh love....Still falls the rain. (repeat)
Live on forever..Goodbye
forever(be mine for ever)......still falls the night
Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heav'n is laid,
With stars of brightest gold
They shine for you.
They shine for you.
They burn for all to see.
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.

I heard this song and I immediately thought of Jade, especially in her present situation.
Wherever Jade is, (waiting to be rescued) she starts to sing...
Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everythigns a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

I heard this song (a favorite of mine) and it would not leave my head that this is Parasol singing to London. She is playing him for her own reasons.
No, you're never gonna get it (Ow!)
Never ever gonna get it (No, not this time)
No, you're never gonna get it (My love)
Never ever gonna get it
(repeat)
I remember how it used to be
You never was this nice, you can't fool me
Now you talkin' like you made a change
The more you talk, the more things sound the same
What makes you think you can just walk back into her life
Without a good fight? Oh...
I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself
Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh...
CHORUS
No, you're never gonna get it (Not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
(repeat)
Now you promise me the moon and stars
Save your breath, you won't get very far
Gave you many chances to make change
The only thing you changed was love to hate
It doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, "No way"
CHORUS
Doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She don't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, "No way"
[And now it's time for a breakdown...]
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it (whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never get it
No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (My lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')...

Tarix looks around shyly, tries to go back but then decides to sing anywayz. She clears her throat. Twice. Then begins to sing, to no one in particular.
Yeah, you know they're gonna bring it down now
They're gone wreck it down here
Something's come to rob me, and I can't get my head
I get nervous in the New York City Streets, where my legacy treads
I know I've been around standin' in the shadows, far from Humans with Guns,
But now It's too late, there's no escape, from what they have done
Come On!

Mr. Big Stuff - Jean Knight
Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Now because you wear all those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car, oh yes you do now
Do you think I can afford to give you my love (oh yeah)
You think you're higher than every star above
Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Now I know all the girls I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts one after another now, bit by bit
You made 'em cry, many poor girls cry
When they try to keep you happy, they just try to keep you satisfied
Mr. Big Stuff, tell me tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
I'd rather give my love to a poor guy that has a love that's true (oh yeah)
Than to be fooled around and get hurt by you
Cause when I give my love, I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson Mr. Big Stuff you haven't learned
Mr. Big Stuff, tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna break my heart

You're never gonna make me cry

Silence - Delirum & Sarah McLachlan
Within her dark and silent "prison", Jade starts humming quietly to herself to chase out the quiet. Over and over she sings the words as her mind slowly starts to crumble...
Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that
I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
Passion chokes the flower
Until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that
I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence I believe
I can't help longing
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that
I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am free
"Silence"

:twisted: Criminal by Fiona Apple :twisted:
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to Suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come
Oh help me but don't tell meTo deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good Enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' highSo I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a playTo make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Reah steps nonchalantly up to the mike, flicking its head causing a piercing screech to envelop the room. *I hate these things* With a sigh she glared at the blaring light in her eye and signalled with a slight nod for the music to start...
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself
Myself
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

Somewhere Out There - Our Lady Peace
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space.
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on sattellite
I'm waiting for the sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign
All we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me,
the star that I can see
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
Hope you remember me,
When you're homesick and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I wait
I'm praying that you don't burn out or fade away
All we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
The star that I can see
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
The star that I can see
I know you're out there, oh.
You're falling out of reach,
Defying gravity
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
The star that I can see
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
I know, I know
You're falling out of reach
I know

I have recently becoem scarily obsessed with this song, as it is pretty spiffy for old brit pop. Whilst swaying back and forth to it I suddenly realised how much it suited the long gone Chris, Black Jem's dusted b/f. So assuming he was still UN dead....
A thousand thundering thrills await me
Facing insurmontable odds gratefully
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Shock shock horror horror
Shock shock horror
I'll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Oh she deals in witchcraft
And one kiss and I'm zapped
Oh How can heaven hold a place for me?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me
Oh how can heaven hold a place for me?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me
Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Oh she wants to conquer the world completely
But first she'll conquer me discreetly
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Oh she deals in witchcraft
And one kiss and I'm zapped
Oh How can heaven hold a place for me?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me
Oh how can heaven hold a place for me?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me

Playground Love by Air (aka Air - French Band)
I'm a high school lover, and you're my favorite flavor.
Love is all, all my soul.
You're my Playground Love.
Yet my hands are shaking.
I feel my body reeling, tense no matter, I'm on fire.
On the playground, love.
You're the piece of gold, that flushes all my soul.
Extra time, on the ground.
You're my Playground Love.
Anytime, anyway,
You're my Playground Love.

Heh... I was listening to some old CDs and thought this song was pretty good for Sorrow, especially with Jade being in such a bad emotional and psychological state.
============
A lone spotlight shines on Sorrow... Someone softly strums the guitar in the background... He picks up the melody and starts to sing...
The first time I saw her
She was looking just like an angel in the night
I tried hard not to cause no suspicion, but
She saw the look in my eye, but I
Don't wanna hurt her
And I don't wanna see her cry, but I
Want to love her like a woman, but she's so
Fragile, so
Fragile, so
Fragile, fragile
Sophisticated, just like a lady
Sweet and innocent like a child
I wanna take her in my arms and hold her
And I just can't resist her smile, but
I wouldn't wanna hurt her, and I
Don't wanna see her cry, but I
Want to love her like a woman but she's so
Fragile, so
Fragile, so
Fragile, fragile
Everywhere I go, she's inside my head
So now tell me what I am gonna do
'Cause she's so
Fragile, so
Fragile, so
Fragile, fragile
-- "Fragile", Rick Price
Karaoke Bar
After Sorrow goes back to his seat, looking...well, sorrowful, a woman in her mid-thirties stands up, goes up on stage, introduces herself as Maude Elliott, and begins to sing her credo:
My dad chased monsters from the dark,
He checked underneath my bed.
An' he could lift me with one arm,
Way up over top his head.
He could loosen rusty bolts,
With a quick turn of his wrench.
He pulled splinters from his hand,
And never even flinched.
In thirteen years I'd never seen him cry,
But the day that grandpa died, I realized:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible.
An' then there was my junior year,
Billy had a brand new car.
It was late, the road was wet,
I guess the curve was just too sharp.
I walked away without a scratch.
They brought the helicopter in.
An' Billy couldn't feel his legs.
Said he'd never walk again.
But Billy said he would and his Mom and daddy prayed,
And the day we graduated, he stood up to say:
"Unsinkable ships sink.
"Unbreakable walls break.
"Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
"Happen just like that.
"Unbendable steel bends.
"If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
"I've learned to never underestimate,
"The impossible."
So don't tell me that it's over.
Don't give up on you and me.
'Cos there's no such thing as hopeless,
If you believe:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible.
(The Impossible: sung by Joe Nichols. Written by Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller.)

i was driving home from work tonight, one of few cars on the autoroute and just enjoying the cool, midnight wind WHEN "release" played on the radio...it never dawned on me (and actually gave me chills when i thought of Kieran), but this song is so so Kieran and would definitely designate it as his theme song...
ReLeAsE - PeArL jAm
Oh... oh... oh...
I see the world. Feel the chill.
Which way to go? Windowsill.
I see the words on a rocking horse of time.
I see the verse in the rain.
Ohh. Ohh. Ohh. Ohh.
Oh, dear dad can you see me now?
I am myself like you somehow.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
I'll hold the pain. Release me.
Ohh. Ohh I... Ohh. Ohh.
Oh, dear dad can you see me now?
I am myself like you somehow.
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me.
How I've opened up. Release me.
Release me. Release me dad. Release me.
Ohh. Ohh I... Ohh. Ooh. Ooo.

i love this song! it rules
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Oh yeah
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey
Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

I was just reading one of Adam's posts when this song came on and I couldn't help laughing, I think it's pretty apt for Nikolai :D
The Man With the Golden Gun - Lulu
He has a powerful weapon,
He charges a million a shot.
An assassin that's second to none,
The man with the golden gun.
Lurking in some darkened doorway,
Or crouched on a rooftop somewhere,
In the next room, or this very one,
The man with the golden gun.
Love is required, whenever he's hired,
It comes just before the kill.
No one can catch him, no hitman can match him
For his million dollar skill.
One golden shot means another poor victim
Has come to a glittering end.
For a price, he'll erase anyone,
The man with the golden gun.
His eye may be on you or me,
Who will he bang?
We shall see, oh yeah!
Love is required, whenever he's hired,
It comes just before the kill.
No one can catch him, no hitman can match him
For his million dollar skill.
One golden shot means another poor victim
Has come to a glittering end.
If you want to get rid of someone,
The man with the golden gun.
Will get it done
He'll shoot anyone,
With his golden gun.

Right, well, I've been listening to Mozart again recently, and something suddenly struck me: one particular 30-minute piece is fitting for our resident nutty preacher, who wants to bring about the end of the world and in so doing bring about its 'rebirth' in the realm of the forms. Yes, so sit back for the half hour to hear Father Reggie perform....
Mozart's Requiem Mass
Yes, that's right, I'm making you click on a link with a synoptic text, because I'm not posting 30 minutes of singing in Latin with the English translation. :)

Why not? :P No, don't answer that...

Well this isnt only for Adam, although he's the only one who will know if the translation is Ok.
I was listening to my highschool choir some weeks ago and they were rehearsing Carl Orff's Carmina Burana Opera. I can tell you that it makes me goosebumpy all over every time I listen to it :D

And yes, it is Latin :D but you have the translation as well.

Many, many years ago (when I was still at high school) I sang this in a massed choir of over 200 people, accompanied by a full orchestra. I've heard this played dozens of times since, but nothing compares to being surrounded by it like that.
Btw, Ally - php tends to ignore spaces, so I did the 'quick and dirty' method of spacing out the translations by adding dots and colouring them white. I'm afraid I was too lazy to do the html. :oops:

Thank you Heather!!!
Other songs that I love are all "Once more with feeling ones" especially...
REST IN PEACE
I died so many years ago.
You can make me feel, like it isn't so.
Why you come to be with me,
I think I finally know... nn-mmmmm.
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel,
And you can't tell the ones you love,
You know they couldn't deal.
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
It doesn't make it real.
That's great, but I don't wanna play,
'Cause being with you touches me,
More than I can say.
And since I'm only dead to you,
I'm sayin' stay away.
And let me rest in peace.
Let me rest in peace, let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six-foot deep.
I lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release...
So let me rest in peace!
You know ya got a willing slave.
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave.
Until you do, I'm tellin' you,
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace.
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed.
There's a traitor here beneath my breast.
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest!
But I can see you're unimpressed.
So leave me be and let me rest in peace,
Let me get some sleep.
Let me take my love and bury it,
In a hole six foot deep.
I can lay my body down,
But I can't find my sweet release…
Let me rest in peace.
Why won't you let me rest in peace?

Having chatted with Lou, a comment of hers mid-collab reminded me of this song. Apt for one of our NPCs, Damen "Trigger" Kirk. Very fitting for both him AND his actor. Especially since the latter sang it. ;)
Asshole
[spoken]
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream. About me. About you. The way our American hearts beat down in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon, we don't know.
[sung]
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job
I'm your average white suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I've got an average house with a nic hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table, and a cuban cigar
But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
(Oh no) No Way (Uh-uh)
No, I've gotta go out and have fun
At someone else's expense
(Oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I drive really slow in the ultrafast lane
While people behind me are going insane
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)
I use public toilets and piss on the seat
I walk around in the summertime saying, "How about this heat?"
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole)
Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
Naaaah!
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, hot pink with whaleskin hub caps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights, yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115mph getting one mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheese burgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when I'm done sucking down those grease ball burgers, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side and there ain't a God damned thing anybody can do about it. YOu know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why.
[Spoken]
Two words. Nuclear fucking weapons, okay?! Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the Democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake-walk right through the middle of Tiananmen square and it won't make a lick of difference because we've got the bombs, okay?! John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes...

WEll I now have a HUGE stash of LABN kareoke for my characters, *joy*. The go along with scenes or times when they shoulda/woulda/coulda been sung, rather than at the kareoke bar. I love all of these songs, except for the N*Sync (so shoot me)
Mikhail, at his recent return (I found the lyrics fit FREAKILY well)
It's you that I adore…
You'll always be my whore.
You'll be the mother to my child,
And a child to my heart.
We must never be apart…
We must never be apart…
Lovely girl you're the beauty in my world,
Without you there aren't reasons left to find…
And I'll pull your crooked teeth,
You'll be perfect just like me.
You'll be a lover in my bed,
And a gun to my head.
We must never be apart…
We must never be apart…
In you I see dirty,
In you I count stars…
In you I feel so pretty,
In you I taste god…
In you I feel so hungry,
In you I crash cars.
We must never be apart.
Lovely girl you're the murder in my world,
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind…
Drinking mercury,
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find…
In time…
We must never be apart
And you'll always be my whore,
Cause you're the one that I adore.
And I'll pull your crooked teeth,
You'll be perfect just like me.
In you I feel so dirty, in you I crash cars.
In you I feel so pretty, in you I taste god.
We must never be apart.
(Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore)
Mikhail, again, but this time when he first converted Mantheana. Again, woo with the lyric relevance!
I hear you breathe so far from me…
I feel your touch so close and real.
And I know:
My church is not of silver and gold,
It's glory lies beyond judgement of souls.
The commandments are of consolation oh…
You know our sacred dream won't fail.
The sanctuary tender and so frail.
The sacrament of love,
The sacrament of warmth is true.
The sacrament is you…
I hear you weep so far from me…
I taste your tears like you're next to me.
And I know:
That our prayers are not enough to give,
Oh the ancient runes so deep and so dear.
The revelation is our patron fear…
You know our sacred dream won't fail.
The sanctuary tender and so frail.
The sacrament of love,
The sacrament of warmth is true.
The sacrament is you…
The sacrament is you…
The sacrament is you…
The sacrament is you…
The sacrament is you…
You know our sacred dream won't fail.
The sanctuary tender and so frail.
The sacrament of love,
The sacrament of warmth is true.
The sacrament is you…
You know our sacred dream won't fail…
The sanctuary tender and so frail…
The sacrament of love…
The sacrament of warmth is true…
The sacrament is you….

Then I have two songs from the other dude in Manthy's life, Bowen. Both of these just apply to the situatino generally.
You might've been hurt, babe,
That ain't no lie.
You've seen them all come and go.
I remember you told me,
That it made you believe in:
No man, no cry.
Maybe that's why:
Every little thing I do,
Never seems enough for you.
You don't wanna lose it again,
But I'm not like them.
Baby, when you finally,
Get to love somebody,
Guess what?
It's gonna be me.
You've got no choice, babe,
But to move on, and you know -
There ain't no time to waste.
You're just too blind (too blind), too see,
But in the end, ya know it's gonna be me.
You can't deny,
So just tell me why.
Every little thing I do,
Never seems enough for you.
You don't wanna lose it again,
But I'm not like them.
Baby, when you finally,
Get to love somebody (somebody),
Guess what (guess what)?
It's gonna be me.
There comes a day
When I'll be the one, you'll see…
It's gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna…
It's gonna be me
All that I do,
Is not enough for you.
Don't wanna lose it,
But I'm not like that.
When finally (finally),
You get to love…
Guess what (guess what)?
Every little thing I do,
Never seems enough for you (for you babe).
You don't wanna lose it again (don't wanna lose it),
But I'm not like them.
Baby, when you finally,
Get to love somebody (love)…
Guess what (guess what)?
It's gonna be me.
(N*Sync - It's gonna be me)
I love your skin oh so white…
I love your touch cold as ice.
And I love every single tear you cry…
I just love the way you're losing your life.
Ohohohohoh my Baby, how beautiful you are,
Ohohohohoh my Darling, completely torn apart…
You're gone with the sin my Baby and beautiful you are.
You're gone with the sin my Darling…
I adore the despair in your eyes…
I worship your lips once red as wine.
I crave for your scent sending shivers down my spine…
I just love the way you're running out of life.
Ohohohohoh my Baby, how beautiful you are,
Ohohohohoh my Darling, completely torn apart…
You're gone with the sin my Baby and beautiful you are.
You're gone with the sin my Darling…
(HIM - Gone with the Sin)
And lastly, to add some to this already HUGE post, I have Mantheana songs. Most of these are what I think of the pathetic Manthy songs, meaning what she was singing when she felt like piss, rather than in her stronger moments.
Fist is a song by K's Choice whom you might recognise off the Buffy soundtrack. This song is quite touching anyway, but I thouht it was rather Manthyish.
20,000 seconds since you've left and I'm still counting.
And 20,000 reasons to get up, get something done,
But I'm still waiting.
Is someone kind enough;
To pick me up and give me food, assure me that the world is good?
But you should be here, you should be here.
How colours can change and even the texture of the rain,
And what's that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor?
I'd rather not deal with that right now,
I'd rather be floating in space somewhere or
Worry about the ozone layer…
And it's almost like a corny movie scene:
But I'm out of frame and the lighting's bad,
And the music has no theme.
And we're all so strong when nothing's wrong,
And the world is at our feet… at our feet…
But how small we are when our love is far away,
And all you need is you…
(Ks Choice - 20,000 seconds)
This is one of my favourite Bif Naked (another artist on the BtVS ST) songs of all time, and I would kill for the Piano sheet music. I can picture Manthy playing the piano to it aswell ^_^
I'm a junkie.
I'm a whore.
That's what you always called me.
I am raw,
An open sore.
I ache to remind me...
I'm a weakling,
You are strong.
Pick me up from where I lay.
Here on a stolen sidewalk.
Baby; don't make me beg...
I'm religious once again.
We all are before we die...
And I am so sick to death.
Wasted tears I cry.
And who said love would always mend,
And fill the emptiness again.
Should light a single candle...
Make a prayer in my name.
I'm a weakling,
You are strong.
Pick me up from where I lay.
Here on a stolen sidewalk,
Baby; don't make me beg.
I am not right,
You're not wrong.
I can't last another day.
Here on a stolen sidewalk,
Baby; don't make me beg...
The closest thing I found to heaven,
Is sitting here, talking to you.
I'm the queen of western paradise,
Don't you know,
Nothing left for me to do.
I'm a weakling,
You are strong.
Pick me up from where I lay
Here on a stolen sidewalk.,
Baby; don't make me beg.
I am not right,
You're not wrong.
I can't last another day.
Here on a stolen sidewalk,
Baby; don't make me beg...
(Bif Naked - Stolen Sidewalk)
Lastly, this is another moving song. Again with the piano. PLus the title applies too!
My immortal…
I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all of my childish fears.
And if you have to leave…
I wish that you would just leave.
Because your presence still lingers here…
And it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years…
But you still have all of me.
You used to captivate me,
By your resonating light.
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams,
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me.
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years…
But you still have all of me.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
And though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along…
(Evanescence - My Immortal)

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I'm having real difficulty finding a song to fit Chance. I can find parts of songs that fit, but only like a chorus or one verse :? Anybody got any ideas?

OK, I've finally found something :D This (kinda) describes the situation between Chance and Alessa:
Darkness - Growing on me
I can't get rid of you
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who
'Cause everywhere I go you're there
Can't get you out of my hair
Can't pretend that I don't care - it's not fair
I'm being punished for all my offences
I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I wanna banish from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yes you heard what I said
I wanna shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, thats' how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me

Ok, another from me and yup, it's the Darkness again (with nifty guitar bits naturally). I think it pretty much sums up Chance and Alessa, having moved along somewhat now.
The Darkness- I believe in a thing called love
Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my hart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everything is A.OK!
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my hart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!
(nifty guitar bit)
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my hart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

Trigger, being the immense asshole that he is, steals the Microphone again to sing. This time, he expresses his "admiration" for liberal concerns like saving the whales.
Save This - Denis Leary
I have no head for figures
My hands cannot explain
Endangered animals and acid rain
I see dead rivers running dry
I see the activists who march and cry
How they cry singin'
Why must we desecrate this land
I'll tell you why
Because we can that's why
Save the whales, save the seals
Save he eagle, save the bison and the beach
Why not save your breath
Save the porpoise, and the dolphin
Save the gerbil, save the racoon and the rat
Why not save some stamps
I am a human, I'm a goddamn human being
I walk errect
See the cheetah, oh so supple, lean and quick
As he chases a gazzelle
But he can't drive a car
At least not very far
I am a human, I'm a goddamn human being
I can pay for sex
"Hey, there's a great show on teh Discovery Channel tonight,
the history of the badger."
"Hmm, I wonder what badger tastes like?"
"I don't know, probably tastes like ferret."
"Wow, you had ferret?"
"Yeah."
"What's it taste like?"
"Chicken."
I am a human, I'm a goddamn human being
I can wipe my ass
"What gives mankind the right to kill at will?"
"I'll tell you what, guns.
Big fuckin' guns with giant fuckin' bullets pal."
I am a human, I'm a goddamn human being
I can shave my balls

Darian steps up to the mic (finally). This one seemed appropriate for both himself and for Chance....
Bad Moon Rising
I see a bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
CHORUS:
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

James steps up to the mike and begins to sing ((sorry i havent posted in a wile im having torubel finding time to write shit down))
Ain't nothing working ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try
Hey bartender hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bubble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby
I'd be the quarterback
Hike hit the tailback
Watch it on playback
Jah smash that hitting that redbone
Up in the endzone biting on the collarbone
(chorus)
I just want your company
I just want you to comfort me just come with me
Hey bartender hit me with another
I just about had to kill this brother
Shit I'm looking for trouble tonight
You be the beauty - baby
I'd be the beast
Who gives a fuck take it to the bedroom
Take it the streets
Take it like a man muthafucker
Yo bitch chose me muthafucker
Take me there take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
Baby please don't trust me tonight
No please don't trust me tonight
Ain't nothing working
Ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try
Ain't nothing sweeter there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I receive keeps me strong
It keeps me moving on
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me
Comfort me Just come with me
Comfort me Just come with me

For the finale and it's aftermath I had two songs running through my head for a long time. Both of these are from David Grey's A New Dat at Midnight and album I cannot recommend highly enough
Real Love
The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
The dawn in all its honesty
Is turning me to clay
And through the bars of iron rain
Way beyond and back again
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high
It's real love
Real love
This world in all its clarity
Is glorious, is fake
This world in all its vanity
Is more than I can take
And down the road the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high
It's real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
And something in the heart of me
Is telling me it's time
To meet the eye of destiny
And leave it all behind
And through my bones an iron rage
paints my soul upon the page
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up to walk on high
Makes me wanna lay and die
It's real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
The Other Side
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
See you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds
into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A tear that falls on every page
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
Maybe I oughta mention
Was never my intention
To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
That trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
See you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
Thanks to everyone on the board for helping create such a memorable character

Sigh... You guys think you've got it bad... Robin sent me the mp3 for "The Other Side" ages ago... Since he told me what he had planned for Sorrow, that song has been making me me all weepy. Horrible man... *chokes up*

I kept hearing this song on the radio as I rushed about at work, but had absolutely no idea who sang it. I thought it suited Jade's current situation so I had to hunt it down. :)
----------
Jade stands in the garden outside the Hyperion... Her eyes are bleak and her face is sad; she knows that a battle is inevitable. She glances at the moon shining above, wondering if Tristan was looking at it too, wondering if he missed her as much as she missed him.
White Flag - Dido
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it,
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder,
Or return to where we were...
Well, I will go down with this ship,
And I won't put my hands up and surrender,
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be.
I know, I left too much mess and destruction,
To come back again,
And I caused nothing but trouble,
I understand if you can't talk to me again,
And if you live by the rules of "it's over",
Then I'm sure that that makes sense...
Well, I will go down with this ship,
And I won't put my hands up and surrender,
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be.
And when we meet,
Which I'm sure we will,
All that was there,
Will be there still.
I'll let it pass,
And hold my tongue,
And you will think,
That I've moved on...
Well, I will go down with this ship,
And I won't put my hands up and surrender,
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be.
Well, I will go down with this ship,
And I won't put my hands up and surrender,
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be.
Well, I will go down with this ship,
And I won't put my hands up and surrender,
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be.

I've been waiting to post this for quite a while now, and been slowly building up to it (which, with any luck, you've noticed in Chance...if i've done it well :P). It's more or less perfect (after Heather stole My Immortal... grrr :))
Nickleback - Someday
How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try and turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
Nothing's wrong, just as long
As you know that someday I will...
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
I hope that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long
As you know that someday I will...
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try and turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long
As you know that someday I will...
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when

Actually, I think Hannah used it first as a song for Mantheana.
