| Avril Lavigne – I Will Be Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I didn't even realize this song was still on my ipod until a couple weeks ago when it was on shuffle, and it really hit home with me. My boyfriend is standing by me right now while I work through a lot of issues, including a drinking problem, and I know that a lot of my decisions have hurt him and still do. And yet he's still here, fighting for me and for us, and it means more to me than I can ever express to him. I want to be strong enough to be all he wants and to be as supportive for him as he is for me, but until I reach that point and overcome my problems it's going to be hard. Still, we've promised forever, and we're going to keep that promise no matter what either of us goes through. This song so beautifully describes that love that neither of us can explain but both of us feel every moment. I can't imagine my life without him and I know this is an old song that I hadn't listened to in years, but I couldn't keep these feelings to myself. | |

| LOL me too. Exactly it. | |
| Kelly Clarkson – Sober Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is my song right now, especially today. It's exactly 3 months since my ex-boyfriend and I broke up. Three months and I'm still breathing... three months and I still remember it... But for me, still being sober means I haven't run back to him, back into a relationship that I know was not mean to last. It means I'm still on my own, and though it hasn't been easy, I'm still standing and still going, learning to let go of him and what we were, and "catch a glimpse of me." This is my song. |

| As am I, Kahlia. | |
| Nelly Furtado – in god's hands Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is a lifeline right now for me, after my boyfriend and I broke up two weeks ago. This is exactly our situation, my feelings... everything. "we didn't respect it we went and neglected it" That's why we fell apart, but we're in God's hands now, and that's my only comfort at the moment. |

|
These are all the questions I have not been able to ask because I haven't known how. Now maybe I do. |

| Tina Turner – Dancing in My Dreams Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is such a beautiful powerful song, both lyrically and melodically. If you haven't heard it, you really should, youtube it or something. It inspires me so much and I can't even put my finger on why. |
|
| Melissa Mcclelland – Skyway Bridge Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I saw Melissa in concert and she talked about this being a song of coming of age in a small town - growing up with the people you care about, having your big dreams but for the moment being content to sit by the river. I think the song paints a beautiful emotional mental image and the lyrics coupled with the melody make it such a heartfelt gorgeous song. |

| Sonata Arctica – Shamandalie Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| My friend got me to listen to this song once in class and it actually made me tremble. It was so good I wanted to just collapse and cry, and I can't really explain why, I didn't really even hear the words. It's just an absolutely amazing song. | |
| Aslyn – That's When I Love You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Having no romantic relationship at the moment, i've mentally extended this to friendship. My really close friends... we make an idiot out of ourselves in front of one another. We see each other's flaws and imperfections, but we love one another anyway. I mean, I know some parts of the song are really quite romantic, but the unconditional care and support remind me of my best friends. | |
| Butterfly Boucher – Don't Point, Don't Scare It Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think it could be interpreted either way, depending on what the listener has gone through and relates to the most. | |
| Sick Puppies – My World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love this song. It reminds me of a friend who demanded so much of me, took all her crap out on me, and then ditched me completely until she needed me again - and I was never tough enough to stand up to her. I think it talks about feeling everyone can relate to, and it's a really awesome song. |

| Gordon Lightfoot – Alberta Bound Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I'm Albertan, I love this place and I love that there's great music about it. | |
| Charlotte Martin – Every time It Rains Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Every time it rains I know it’s good to be alive Every time it rains I know I’m trying to survive" I take this part super literally - I love the rain, I love running outside and playing in the rain. There was a time last year when I was super stressed about everything, but it was really rainy and whenever it would rain, i would go outside and center and everything, and it just gave me new hope and I felt happy to be alive. I love the rain. |

| Kelly Clarkson – How I Feel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| She sees happy couples right now and she's sick of hearing and thinking that someday it will be her, and she's tired of pretending that it doesn't bother her. For now, she's going to be upset and pessimistic, and maybe someday she'll be optimistic again, but not right now, so don't even try to make her happy. | |
| Missy Higgins – Sugarcane Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this is one of those songs that means something different to everyone who hears it. I think it starts out about somebody so innocent (Baby Ballerina) who sees the cruel things the world does and wants to hide from it. Then it talks about someone not innocent at all (the girl at the peep show) but who also wishes she had a wall to hide from the world's cruel games. Both are the "sugarcane" - they can grow tall as long as they run from the world's cruelty, but the world will be chasing them all the while. |

| Then what, or who, do Satanists worship? | |
| Maren Ord – Perfect Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
What about love What about family What about all that you have to live for it means so much to just have someone reminding me of eveyrthing that's important to me when things aren't going well. what a great song. |
|
| Christine Evans – I'm So Alone Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this song is just about a young girl's journey to maturity. It's about being young but feeling like you're not given credit for everything you are, and trying to figure out yourself and the world, and prove yourself. I love it - it describes exactly how I've felt as I've grown up. |
|
| Christine Evans – All That I Am Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think in her earlier album she was trying a little too hard to be all mature and insightful, but her second album is way better. I should really submit those lyrics. | |
| Kelly Clarkson – Angel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I didn't even know Kelly sang this one... where does she sing it? | |
| Melissa O'neil – Just Like January Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The perfect starting over, making a clean break song. About almost falling, almost hitting the ground, and then having someone pull you away and trusting yourself, looking ahead and going. | |
| Rex Goudie – One True Summer Night Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I wish I was a small town girl... | |
| Rex Goudie – Stong Enough Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| A lot of songs about dreams are all wishy washy, saying someday I'll fly and stuff like that. I love how this one's different. It's saying you can, and you WILL, do it, do everything you want to, I know you can. It's such an encouraging message, to just be told that you are strong enough to do whatever you want. | |
| Missy Higgins – The river Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's just so scary to me... I haven't even heard the song (I'm not an Aussie, I can't find her albums anywhere, and I feel awful illegally downloading), so I haven't heard the uptemp feel, and I'm basing everything on the lyrics. It just seems sad and... well, scary that someone is pushed to death by outer circumstances. | |
| Missy Higgins – Nightminds Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is so so gorgeous... I have friends who have said almost those exact words to me, and I to them. I don't think it's necessarily bipolar, just really emotional intense people who are hit so hard by everything that happens in their lives. I know that when something good happens for me, I'm so overjoyed but my down times are so so down, and it takes its toll. It's just so comforting to know that someone understands and is willing to help pull you up out of the muck and mire you get yourself into. | |
| Missy Higgins – Ten days Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm not Aussie (which means I can't find Missy albums anywhere around here, but anyway...) and I've never moved away from my country, but I have a friend who's an Aussie. We met over the summer and I instantly felt so comfortable with him, and then I returned back here, so far away from him and I miss him. Ten Days is the song that makes me think of him, because "Time has changed nothing at all - you're still the only one that feels like home." Everything's so crazy and confusing, everyone has expectations but when I talk to him I feel like myself. Except that it hasn't been ten days without him in my reach - it's more like 10 months... |

| Missy Higgins – Katie Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I just think of it as a very metaphorical song. I don't think Katie is necessarily a "little girl," it seems to me like she's an adolescent and is referred to as a little girl because she feels and seems so small in the hugeness of life and the world. She's going through difficulties that are also so much bigger than her, and she says she'll find a way through without knowing how. Then she finds some form of self-destructive behaviour. The first thing I thought of was drugs, but it could be alcohol, anorexia, depression - it doesn't really matter. She refuses to accept that it's a problem ("you see I have control over me" - her addiction isn't controlling her, in her eyes.) And then it's asking, will you realize what you're doing and stop? There are people trying to help you and you won't accept it, won't get help ("turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know, and she said Go.") Instead, she ignores the help being offered and sinks even deeper into the self-destructive patterns. It's a really haunting song for me, because I've come so close. |

| Missy Higgins – Scar Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
See, I never thought about sexuality when I heard this song. I just thought about relationships in general, and not all relationships are romantic. I'm a girl, I have a friend who is a girl and who's very controlling, but of course I didn't realize that at first. She seemed confident, caring, everything I wished I was, and I trusted her until she tried to change everything I really was. When I heard the second verse of Scar, it totally spoke to that experience, as did the first verse - somebody wanting you to scrub away everything about you that isn't their idea of perfect because they know best. It's happened to me so many times, and so I also understand completely when Missy asks "could you leave me with a scar?" I mean, I've let myself be controlled a few times, but I think I've finally found myself largely because I remember what it's like to try to fit someone else's mold. I remember the pain and I've been left with a scar. And then I think back to how they wanted me to be and I shiver, I'm so glad I broke away. It feels like the song was written just for me (dumb as that sounds.) |

| Katie Melua – Spider's Web Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I agree, it is so gorgeous, and being a piano player, the lines about the piano keys mean a lot to me. I love how she brings to light issues like racism and war without sounding preachy - instead of being like other artists that just say "war is wrong," she thinks about it. Her voice is gorgeous, almost haunting, and this is by far my favourite song of Katie's. | |
