Gman10 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) This kid is 18, but he's got "it".

One of my favorites. I could cite your description verbatim for Edit: Could maybe pitch Fallen Angel or Epitaph from the Crims as well.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Saddest song I ever heard, and tells a very sad truth - - You can't make someone love you if they don't: Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me Tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I'll close my eyes, then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't _____________________________________________________________ Similar theme, but not performed in such a heart-wrenching way, and less powerful lyrics: [Verse 1] Girl when I look at you, you look through me Like I'm not even there I try not to give up, to be strong but I'm afraid to say I'm scared I can't find the place, your heart is hidin' I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fightin' [Chorus] Baby I love you, don't want to lose you Don't make me let you go Took such a long time, for me to find you Don't make me let you go Baby I'm beggin' please And I'm down here on my knees I... don't want to have to set you free Don't make me [Verse 2] What if when I'm long gone, it dawns on you You just might want me back Let me make myself clear, if I leave here It's done; I'm gone, that's that You carry my love around Like it's a heavy burden Well I'm about to take it back Are you sure it's worth it [Chorus] Baby I love you, don't want to lose you Don't make me let you go Took such a long time, for me to find you Don't make me let you go Baby I'm beggin' please And I'm down here on my knees I... don't want to have to set you free Don't make me Don't make me (Don't make me) [Bridge] Baby I'm beggin' please And I'm down here on my knees I... don't want to have to set you free Don't make me [Outro] (Baby I love you Don't want to lose you Don't make me let you go) Don't make me Stop lovin' you (Don't make me) Stop needin' you 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on them then was they acted and looked silly and encouraged others to do the same. This song was pretty good though. Worth revisiting them I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 10 minutes ago, LeviF said: Ok yeah, but: love glen campbell but i'll raise you this one and insert this one. The song was recorded when it was discovered his Alzheimer's was going to be serious. the song is amazing in the background of it; the lyrics had to be simple and on cards for him to read. it took a lot of work to set it up and his old band, the famous "Wrecking Crew" got back together to perform with him. The song is saying that as he loses his capacities he will not miss anyone because he won't know them. the video is an amazing reminiscence of his life which was very well documented in family photos, images, and the clips of movies, shows, and more he was involved with. the energy it took for him to perform this was said to have taken a toll on him. the song is tremendously powerful. to say that he had the love of his life and all of the greatest in life but will go out not knowing any of this as he is surrounded by all of it - you just have to listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
