heres the lyrics:
This is for all you girls, about thirteen. High School can be so rough; can be so mean. Hold onto, onto your innocence. Stand your ground, when everybody's givin' in.
This one's for the girls.
This is for all you girls, about twenty-five. In little apartments just tryin' to get by. Livin' on, on dreams and Spaghettios. Wonderin' where your life is gonna go.
This one's for the girls, Who've ever had a broken heart; Who've wished upon a shootin' star: You're beautiful the way you are. This one's for the girls, Who love without holdin' back; Who dream with everything they have. All around the world, This one's for the girls. (This one's for all the girls.)
This is for all you girls, about forty-two. Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth. Every laugh, laugh line on your face, Made you who you are today.
This one's for the girls, Who've ever had a broken heart; Who've wished upon a shootin' star: You're beautiful the way you are. This one's for the girls, Who love without holdin' back; Who dream with everything they have. All around the world: This one's for the girls.
Yeah, we're all the same inside (Same inside.) From one to ninety-nine:
This one's for the girls, Who've ever had a broken heart; Who've wished upon a shootin' star: You're beautiful the way you are. This one's for the girls, Who love without holdin' back; Who dream with everything they have. All around the world, yeah, This one's for the girls. (This one's for all the girls.)
Yeah, this one's for the girls. (This one's for all the girls.)
This song brings back memories of my 5th grade talent show. I can still remember how nervous I felt standing back stage. Merranda, Taylor and I were going to sing and dance to the song. I was most nervous about the fact that we we're doing country music instead of pop, or hip hop or R&b. The song takes me back and puts me right there. It takes me back into the same process of walking up onto the stage, dressed in black behind Merranda. It brings back memories of how great it felt when everyone started to clap along, and how things just seemed to fall into place. It makes me remember how great it felt to see people cheering us on.
What I like about the music is really its exactly what it seems. There's no hidden message it is face on what it says. Giving advice to girls and telling them not to worry. I really do just love the simplisty and honesty of the music.
Part 2: Here is my most terrible banner XD
The song is called This is for All you Girls, by Martina McBride

For Good
from Wicked
ELPHABA I'm limited: Just look at me - I'm limited And just look at you - You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you (spoken) For both of us (sung) Now it's up to you:
GLINDA I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good
ELPHABA It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend: Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you:
GLINDA Because I knew you:
BOTHI have been changed for good
ELPHABA And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done you blame me for
GLINDA But then, I guess we know There's blame to share
BOTH And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA~ ELPHABA (same time) Like a comet pulled ~Like a ship blown From orbit as it~ Off it's mooring Passes a sun, like ~By a wind off the A stream that meets ~Sea, like a seed A boulder, half-way ~Dropped by a Through the wood ~Bird in the wood
BOTH Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA And because I knew you: ELPHABA Because I knew you:
BOTH Because I knew you: I have been changed for good.
I picked this song because it makes me cry everytime i listen to it. When I was in the 6th grade i had two wonderful best friends that were alway with me since the day we met in 2nd grade. We always did everything together and we loved each other like sisters. Then the time came to graduate to a new school. We did so together and throughout 6th grade we were as close as ever. One day I will never forget is the day they left me for good.
It was towards the end of the year and we had just gotten back from the annual 6th grade camping trip and all were excited and content from the giant two-night sleepover. The next day in math class, we were splitting in to groups and i went with another girl which angered my two best friends. I didn't notice until lunch. I went to talk to them at our table and they moved away. Surely, they were playing a game i thought, after all thats what we did. So I sat down next to other friends and enjoyed my lunch. Outside i went to talk to them, again ignored but this time they told me to get away from them. I did deeply hurt and upset. This continued for a week. All week they teased me ignored me our gossiped about me until finally i was reduced to tears and went to hang ouit with people to whom i was never close with. However they talked to me and comforted me when these girls made my life miserable. I can never thank them enough. Me and my former best friends have never made up but i am more than willing to and honestly forgive them. However I know that if we ever do our relationship will never be the same.
As for my best friends now. They know what I've been through and are always there for me which is why this song makes me realize that we are always together and everything happens for a reason. If I never fought with my old besty friends, I wouldn't have the friends I have today.
I love the poetic lyrics and how the two best friends are singing to each other not knowing if they'll ever meet again. I song i will truly play for my best friends on our 8th grade graduation when we will all divide up into diffrent high schools. This song is just beautiful.

Believe-Yellowcard
Think about the love inside the strength of heart Think about the heroes saving life in the dark Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive But you still came back for me You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe. Be strong. Believe.
Think about the chance I never had to say Thank you for giving up your life that day Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring it down alive And you still came back for me You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe.
(Again today, we take into our hearts and minds those who perished on this site one year ago, and also those who came to toil in the rubble to bring order out of chaos, to help us make sense of our despair)
Wanna hold my wife when I get home Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile Wanna make a change or two right now Wanna live a life like you somehow Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile
Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe.
Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe.
Think about the love inside the strength of heart Think about the heroes saving life in the dark Think about the chance I never had to say Thank you for giving up your life that day
(The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here)

Well i love this song because whenever i cry or am depressed i listen to this song either to hear the "everything is gonna be alright" part or maybe think a heroe will save my life from the dark. The violin parts in it also tug at my heart, this isnt a feel good song but its good to know a song can feel the same as you or vice versa. Yellowcard is also my favourite band and have a way with violin incorporated in their songs, also i can relate to the lyrics and their songs always make me feel better, or stop me from feeling any worser.

Here's My selection,
It's my life~*~Bon Jovi & Jon Bon Jovi
This ain't a song for the broken hearted A silent prayer for the faith departed And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud
(Chorus) It's my life If it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky Got to make your own breaks
Chorus: It's my life And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend don't break baby, don't back down
Chorus: It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my Life)
(Chorus x2) And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life!
When ever I hear this song I just want to Sing along becacuse it inspres so much emotion. I hear this and I know that it's my life, and I want to go out and do everything in my power to make my life worthwhile. The first time I heard this song I was wondering about wheather or not my life was worth anything, but this song came on and told me other wise. Since I was little this song had followed me, inspiering me to live my life to the fullest and not take crap from anybody who says otherwise.

I'll Be there For You Bon Jovi
I guess this time you're really leaving I heard your suitcase say goodbye Well as my broken heart lies bleeding You say true love is suicide You say you've cried a thousand rivers And now you're swimming for the shore You left me drowning in my tears And you won't save me anymore I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance girl
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you I'd steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times Now they have their own hiding place Well I can promise you tomorrow But I can't buy back yesterday And baby you know my hands are dirty But I wanted to be your Valentine I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you When you breathe I wanna be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you I'd steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for you
I wasn't there when you were happy And I wasn't there when you were down Didn't mean to miss your birthday baby I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you When you breathe I wanna be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you I'd steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for ...
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you When you breathe I wanna be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you I'd steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for you ...
As the queen of breaking up, this song hits me hard. To me its saying that sometimes even the strongest love dosnt turn out right. I mean to most people they wouldnt get anything like that from this song, but when I listen to it it makes me think of the close people around me. Take My Mother and Father, There in love but they cant be together and they probably never will be together. Life cant be perfect otherwise it would be boring.But at the end of the day we always have each other. I mean the guy I love can make me cry one minnute and turn around and make me smile the next. And the best part is I know he will always be there for me. I mean we might get mad at each other on the journey, but hes always going to have my back and thats what this song makes me think of. Loves never perfect.

Snow Patrol-Run I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done
And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it any where Away from here
Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you can not hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbyes I nearly do
Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you can not hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower We don't have time for that All I want's to find an easier way To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if its just for a few days Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you can not hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
*sigh* Ok this song makes me feel really sad and nine times out of ten i cry when i listen to it because this is then song that was playing the last time i said goodbye to my friend ross who moved to aus like a week ago lol. When i listen to it it just makes me think about him and stuff and then i start to cry like a big baby lol.

VANESSA CARLTON- A THOUSAND MILES
Making my way downtown Walking fast Faces passed And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead Just making my way Making my way Through the crowd
And I need you And I miss you And now I wonder....
If I could fall Into the sky Do you think time Would pass me by 'Cause you know I'd walk A thousand miles If I could Just see you Tonight
It's always times like these When I think of you And I wonder If you ever Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong And I don't belong Living in your Precious memories
'Cause I need you And I miss you And now I wonder....
If I could fall Into the sky Do you think time Would pass me by 'Cause you know I'd walk A thousand miles If I could Just see you Tonight
And I, I Don't want to let you know I, I Drown in your memory I, I Don't want to let this go I, I Don't....
Making my way downtown Walking fast Faces passed And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead Just making my way Making my way Through the crowd
And I still need you And I still miss you And now I wonder....
If I could fall Into the sky Do you think time Would pass us by 'Cause you know I'd walk A thousand miles If I could Just see you...
If I could fall Into the sky Do you think time Would pass me by 'Cause you know I'd walk A thousand miles If I could Just see you If I could Just hold you Tonight
This is really emotional for me. I've deticated it to so many people that I have lost. My uncles, my gramps, two of my cousins, a baby sister, five of my closest friends..Death has been around me. If wish so many times to see them all, to hold them and sometimes I do wonder if they think about me at all up there.
Sure, time passes and the pain stops, but it's still going to leave a scar. And that song represents my scar because everytime I hear it, I go into a trance and mumble the words, and then i find myself crying. If you listen to it, then I think it'll hit you especially if you have lost someone dear to. And If I could, I would walk a thousand miles to see them...to see anyone!!
and here's my THIRD made banner! I'm getting pretty good!!

Dont tell me by hoobastank Don't tell me that you are ready to change. Don't tell me that from now it won't be the same. It doesn't matter, 'cause at the end of the day, it isn't what you say, it's what you do!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
What you say will be forgotten someday. What you do will be remembered. Empty promises all fade away. What you keep will last forever.
Don't tell me you'll make things better for us. Don't tell me that you're some one I can trust. It doesn't mean a thing to me just because, it isn't what you say, it's what you do!
Your actions will speak louder than you!
What you say will be forgotten someday. What you do will be remembered. Empty promises all else fade away. What you keep will last forever.
So show me that you really figured it out. And show me everything that you are about. But if you can't then just shut your mouth!..
'cause I don't care what you say or what you do, You can't take back what you've put me through. Your actions will speak louder than you!..
What you say will be forgotten someday. What you do will be remembered. Empty promises all else fade away. What you keep will last forever.
What you say will be forgotten someday. What you do will be remembered. Empty promises all else fade away. What you keep will last forever.
What you keep will last forever.
What you keep will last forever.
Forever...
This song means alot to me. I have been told many times by people i love and trust they will do this or that and they never follow through. I feel that some day everything they told they would do but never did will fade away as it says. I also feel that it doesnt matter what you say. You could say that you hated me and said that you were never going to talk to me again but the moment you talk to me it's all over and someday we wont remeber what you said. I think it also provides the importance of a promise you can promise that you will love someone for ever but if you dont then it will forgotten someday. the part where it goes you cant take back what you put me through I can really relate because I have been put through alot and I'm sorry doesnt always work for me. It doesnt matter how many times you say it matters when when you stop. Also I believe that also proves that you may be not be the one teasing someone but if you stand back and watch that action says that you dont care and you just as bad as the bully if not worse. In that certain instance it doesnt matter what you say it matters what you do and in alot of the other times people stand back and watch. This summer i was put through alot and it was alot of actions and words said I dont remebeer all that was said I rember all that was done. The people involed no matter as much as they would love to can not no matter what take it back. They can say I am sorry all they want but it's the moment they stop doing what they were doing that i can totally forgive them. Even if I still live with the memories every day of my life it wont matter to me. I would have moved on> I think this paer is quite long enough and i could not do the second halk for i have no paint or anything xD thanks for your time. [/b]

I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts (AKA Friends Theme Song)
So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your job's a joke-You're broke-Your lovelife's D.O.A. It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year But I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (WHEN THE RAIN STARTS TO POUR) I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (LIKE I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE) I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU ('CAUSE YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO)
You're still in bed at ten, and work began at eight You've burned your breakfast-So far, things are goin' great Your mother warned you there'd be days like these But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees that
(CHORUS)
No one could ever know me-No one could ever see me Seems you're the only one who knows, what it's like to be me Someone to face the day with-Make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with-Even at my worst I'm best with you It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
(CHORUS)
I'll be there for you I'll be there for you I'll be there for you ('CAUSE YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO)
I am in love with this song. It just makes me feel all happy and good. It's basically about saying that no matter what happens I'll always be there for my friends. One unfortunate memory this song brings is one of my ex-friends. And how she always told me that she'll be there for me, but she wasn't. But it also reminds me of all the great times my real friends and I have. I also like this song because it's real. It talks about how life really is. Some days things just aren't perfect and things do go wrong. And I love how this song shows that.
Edit::: Whoa, speak of the devil. Today i saw that ex-friend I talked about up their! freaaakkkyyyyyy

"Lips Of An Angel"
Honey why you calling me so late? It's kinda hard to talk right now. Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay? I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room Sometimes I wish she was you I guess we never really moved on It's really good to hear your voice saying my name It sounds so sweet Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye But girl you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight And, yes, I've dreamt of you too And does he know you're talking to me Will it start a fight No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room Sometimes I wish she was you I guess we never really moved on It's really good to hear your voice saying my name It sounds so sweet Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words it makes me weak

I cose this song because it makes me feel sad for two reason. One because he's cheating on his girlfriend.. well sort of and he lost his true love when you know they're supposed to be together. It helps me let out my emotions when i'm feeling down. It makes me feel... love i guess

The piece I chose was My Name is Lincoln which was used in the soundtrack for the movie The Island. Though this song doesn't have any lyrics, I think it is just as emotional, if not more emotional, than other songs I've heard and love.
I absolutley love this piece of music. Everything from the ways the harmony fits together to the inter-weaving of parts and just the melody itself manage to give me goosebumps and takes me through a range of emotions as the piece progresses.
This song definitley takes me to a completley different world. When it first starts, I actually feel as though I'm leaving this world and traveling to somewhere completley different. And then from :18-1:05 just gives me this feeling of waking up to find myself in this new place, with a new start and this sense of pure wonder of looking around at where I've been taken. When the main theme starts up at 1:11 I feel like it's showing me this place of incredible beauty of the world. I also feel like I'm being brought through all my memories both good and bad and finally accepting everything that happens. The sense of adventure I get in this song is incredible and as the song continues to build up (2:32) I feel it continues to get even more emotional to the point where by 3:00 all I want to do is cry because it's just so incredibly touching inside. I know I'm not doing a very good job of explaining this feeling because it's almots unreal to me because as I hear this song I have this longing to be in the place that I imagine for myself when I hear it. Then at around 3:18 at the sudden release I'm struck by this awed feeling and as the theme starts up again I'm left with this sad feeling mixed with joy because it seems to be saying to me that all things eventually end but that if I've made the best of it, then it will all have been worth it and I can always go back. And as I said earlier, it's like I've finally come to be at peace with all the mistakes or decisions I've made that may have had good or bad consequences in my life.
This song is just so beautiful to me that I can't help but feel overwhelmed when I listen. This is the type of song I would imagine would play in the background when I die. I feel it's so calming and just tells you that everything will be okay because something new and enthralling is beginning in my life.
So despite the lack of actual lyrics to respond to, I feel the melody, build up and release of this song really hits home with me and brings me through so many emotions. I listen to the song all the time, espicially if I'm feeling sad, confused or lost. It always manages to calm me and give me a sense of peace.
Here's my graphic (it's not very good but oh well xD):

The song Smuggled Mutation by Estradasphere is one of my all-time favourite pieces of music. The piece is endlessly expressive, wildly creative, and combines true musical talent with a relentless drive that makes the song so special and dear to me.
Though the song lacks lyrics, I do not think this a deficiency in its composition – rather, it makes it a thinking piece in that you are following the contours of the music, and not words that ultimately would demean the integrity of the message that the song conveys (I’ll leave you to make your own conclusions).
Thus one of the reasons I love this song so much is that as soon as the first note is played, I am transported from my comfy seat – or wherever I may be – and I am placed in a world not my own, and it is hard to crawl back once you’ve listened through the song in its entirety (particularly if you play through the album, which is one of the best I’ve ever had the fortune to hear). Some images of note that are conjured by the music are ones from a time long past; these come primarily from the first minute of the song. The mixture of fiddle and accordion take me to a more Victorian era, and when the other instruments are layered – seamlessly – into the song, the song becomes very much like something out of a Steampunk vision. This is one of the great things that draws me to the music of Estradasphere. I have a passion for Steampunk, and enjoy the genre so much more when music such as Smuggled Mutation complements my visions of an alternate reality. As well as this, it inspires me to imagine a forest, where gypsies are seated around a large fire, and dancers in long, willowy skirts are dancing to the fiddle. I can smell the wood smoke and wet underbrush when I listen.
As to emotion, Smuggled Mutation creates an atmosphere which leaves me exhilarated and thrilled, and I feel as though I’ve just been on a long journey – one that I never wanted to end. It’s mischievous music (the best kind), effortless in execution (just listen to that fiddle, it’s amazing), and leaves you wanting much, much more.
I'm shocking with graphics, but here's what I accomplished (in three hours... oh my!):

Wings by Leslie Mills:
Lyrics verse1: Lalalalala
I was living in a fantisay, waiting for somebody to rescue me
But i found a way to light the dark, It was always here inside my heart. No more fairytale pretending, I'll make my own happy ending.
Chours:
If i wasn't meant to fly, i wouldn't have these wings. I would n't reach upto the sky every night in my dreams, There's a voice inside of me. saying " I CAN DO ANY THING", if i wasn't meant to fly..i wouldn't have these wings.
Verse 2: There's a star that's shining down on me, reflecting everything i can be, Every journey starts inside my heart If there's a mountain that's too far. 'cause If i set my mind, whatever it is i can do it.
chours:
If i wasn't meant to fly, i wouldn't have these wings. I would'nt reach up to the sky in my dreams, there's a voice inside of me saying " i can do anything" cause if i wasn't meant to fly... i would'nt have these wings.
Bridge: to take farther than i ever thought I'd go. higher than the heavens cause deep inside i know.... If i wasn't meant to fly i wouldn't have these wings if i wouldn't reach up to the sky every night in my dreams. there's a voice inside of me saying " i can do anything" cause if i wasn't meant to fly.. i wouldn't have these wings. lalalala....lalalaaaaaalaa.

I'm afraid I can not grade this assignment as it was not done properly. Please re-do it to include more than just the song lyrics.

The song I chose is you can let go by crystal shawanda. I chose the song because my dad is ill and he won't get better, and like they say in the song, he's holding on for me and my sister. He wants us to grow up and he really wanted to walk us down the aisle when we got married, but he will never be able to do that. I will pm the banner if someone will respond with who I need to pm it to.
