United World Poets

Place here songs that really hit you hard, emotionally.

This song reminds me of my dad who passed away last year because of cancer. The lyrics and melody are just awesome. This song also uses a type of poetry called "aesthetic realism". If you have ever loved someone who has died of a long, tragic death, like cancer, then you know "love is watching someone die".

WHAT SARAH SAID
Death Cab for Cutie

And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

So who’s gonna watch you die? So who's gonna watch you die?

I know what you mean. Can't think of any songs right off the top of my head but there are many songs I listen that make me think like that.

heres a song thats orginally in spanish but here i have it translated. the song is called "Una Palabra"

A word does not say anything
And at the same time it hides everything
Just as the wind that hides the water
Like the flowers that mud hides.

A glance does not say anything
And at the same time it says everything
Like rain on your face
Or an old treasure map

A truth does not say anything
And at the same time it hides everything
Like a bonfire that does not go out
Like a stone that is born dust.

If one day you need me, I will be nothing
And at the same time I will be everything
Because in your eyes are my wings
And the shore where I drown,
Because in your eyes are my wings
And the shore where I drown

The very thing that makes me human seems to make me weak, or is it a strength so hidden and buried deep that it is frequently mistaken for weak. I've never learned how to superficially connect with people. I always want to explore who you are deeper…
