SONGS THAT REALLY HIT YOU HARD
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

Oh Schuyler,
Just saying your name makes me quiver,
You had the choice, her or me,
And for once I got to be-
The happy one,
To blind to see.
I shook with delight the way my head spun,
My heart so pure and full of glee,
Until, you bastard, you cheat…
Yup, sad huh?
I find myself lost in the jist of it all
Internal rage brakes away most the bricks of the wall
I'm insane from the pain that has torn up may life
I feel grief, I fell stress, and an uproar of spite
But the hate within me
Isn't strong
Not enough
Watc…
Freestyled poem off the top of the head. Catch my book "A Poet's Heart" online and look out for my second book. This one will be a novel! -Lady Poet
how i feel tonight bro
im only hoping im one of the close ones (no need to answer that question)
but all in all...in truth your my brother from another mother
keep doing what you do best...i got a pad waiting for you at the crib too
its not exactly…
lock-pick lock-pick
his hands held, bleeding chains
lock-pick unlock what binds him;
a bundle of sticks;
he's drawn to his primal need...
to relinquish his mind which has gone sick
pain driven through his body, muffle yells
fight through the leather…

Instead of starting life out from a womb,
imagine the beginning from an asylum.
Pretend you started life with a montage of memories to come,
with the option to alter your futures outcome.
Wrap your brain around your childhood being knowing what you…
