| Jimmy Eat World – Hear You Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song always brings me to cry. It was playing when my father passed away eight years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was talking to one of my friends and the song was playing and I remember thinking "It would be crazy if my father passed away while this song was playing." It ended, and my mother came into my room crying. She told me my father was gone. Then we played it at his wake, and a month later to the day it was playing on the radio. When I saw JEW two years ago they played it. I can swear I felt him there with me. | |
| Journey – Don't Stop Believin' Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is extremely special to me. My father died when I was young and always used to tell me "Keep the faith, Kris. Keep the faith." This song has never let me down and I think it's exactly that; keep the faith and don't stop believing no matter what happens. There is always something great out there as long as you believe it exists. I've experienced some rough things in my life and whenever I asked God to help me, this song would play on the radio or wherever I was. I was supposed to graduate from college in May 2011, and I couldn't because I had to repeat my 90 hours for teaching. I knew God had a plan for me for some reason although I didn't know what. I ended up student teaching at the school attached to my Church. I could not have asked for a better experience. I honestly could not or would not have asked for a better sign from God that I have a bright future in this field. Never give up on yourself or your dreams, keep going and NEVER stop believing. |

| The Ataris – The Hero Dies In This One Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Everytime I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes. Not sad tears, but the good happy yet sad tears. I saw them play this song in 2008 and Kris said it was about losing somebody you love, somebody close to you, and not being able to tell them how you feel and not realizing it till they're gone. I've had a lot of family issues ranging from addiction, suicide, siblings not speaking, adult children disowning their parents, and I lost my father when I was 17. The one person always there to be the quiet was my grandfather. He was always there, no matter what. He wmas the hero to not only myselisf, but to all of his children and grandchildren. He encouraged me no matter what after my father died. He was always there. This past semester of school, only four days into school, he died. I immediately thought of this song and remembered the lyrics-"I wonder how I'm supposed to carry on when you're gone. I'll never be the same without you, I loved you more than you will ever know, so maybe now you'll finally know." I loved him so much and he was the hero. |

| Jimmy Eat World – Chase This Light Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think of "The Great Gatsby" when I hear this song. Gatsby and his green light for some reason. Beyond that, it's a love song. "Chase this light with me" is the narrator saying "Chase my dreams with me, chase my life with me, be with me." Their new life together will be a piece of art. "My life is yours, in your gifted hands." "My gesso" = My heart, my soul, my foundation because of the other definition I found for "gesso." "Gesso is also used by sculptors to prepare the shape of the final sculpture (fused bronze) or directly as a material for sculpting. Gesso can also be used as a layer between sculptured wood and gold leaf. In this case, a layer of red shellac called "assiette" is used to cover the Gesso before applying the gold. A collection of gesso sculptures is properly called a gypsotheque." |

| Kate Voegele – I Couldn't Save You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is about not being able to save somebody and finally coming to grips with that fact. They have had an epiphany of sorts. It's sad because the singer wanted so save the person and had the best intentions to help the person as best they could. They told everyone, wait and see, I'll be the one to help them. The guiding light. Sadly, this is isn't true-a person needs to want to be saved, they need to want to change. I was just in relationship where the boy was smoking pot. We had been friends for years, since we were 16 and we are now 23. He wouldn't stop and had so many other issues. I did my best to help the kid, but no luck. I couldn't save him, he can't even save himself or decide to try. Needless to say, it didn't work out. |
