  "It's A Motherf*cker"It's a motherf*cker
  Being here without you
  Thinking 'bout the good times
  Thinking 'bout the bad
  And i won't ever be the same
  
  It's a motherf*cker
  Getting through a sunday
  Talking to the walls
  Just me again
  But i won't ever be the same
  I won't ever be the same
  
  It's a motherf*cker
  How much i understand
  The feeling that you need someone
  To take you by the hand
  And you won't ever be the same
  You won't ever be the same

  A beautiful track by Eels, there are two versions one on the daisies of the galaxy album and one on the Eels with strings live album, I prefer the latter.

  This track sums up how I feel about being apart from my little minx (Hi babe)

  Rebirth

  When I left, there were many reasons, but primarily I didn't want to be responsible for wrecking any more lives, especially my childrens'. So this song sums up The Reason I gave up everything and started over.

  The Reason by Hoobastank

  I'm not a perfect person,
  As many things I wish I didn't do,
  But I continue learning,
  I never meant to do those things to you,
  And so I have to say before I go,
  That I just want you to know.
  
  I've found a reason for me,
  To change who I used to be,
  A reason to start over new,
  and the reason is you.
  
  I'm sorry that I hurt you,
  It's something I must live with everyday,
  And all the pain I put you through,
  I wish that I could take it all away,
  And be the one who catches all your tears,
  Thats why I need you to hear.
  
  I've found a resaon for me,
  To change who I used to be,
  A reason to start over new,
  
  and the reason is You [x4].
  
  I'm not a perfect person,
  I never meant to do those things to you,
  And so I have to say before I go,
  That I just want you to know.
  
  I've found a reason for me,
  To change who I used to be,
  A reason to start over new,
  and the reason is you.
  
  I've found a reason to show,
  A side of me you didn't know,
  A reason for all that I do,
  And the reason is you.

  Aw, crap, GGBG... Kermit's version of that song always brings a tear to my eye. Ah, good childhood memories...

  There is the new (well new to me) R&B singer named Van Hunt. He has a song out called "Character". I just love that song now. And the song that makes me think of my mom is by Maxwell and it's called "This Woman's Work". I like to listen to that song because it makes me understand my mother and it helps me to understand what I should be doing for my loved one's now.

  The song "Character" will play, just minimize the page. If you don't wanna hear it, never mind!

  End of the line -travelin wilburys
  
  Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
  Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
  Well it's all right, doing the best you can
  Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
  
  You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
  Waiting for someone to tell you everything
  Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
  Maybe a diamond ring
  
  Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
  Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
  Well it's all right, As long as you got somewhere to lay
  Well it's all right, everyday is Judgment Day
  
  Maybe somewhere down the road aways
  You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days
  Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
  Purple haze
  
  Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
  Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
  Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
  Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
  
  Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
  I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
  It don't matter if you're by my side
  I'm satisfied
  
  Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray
  Well it's all right, you still got something to say
  Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
  Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
  
  Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
  Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
  Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
  Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
  
  
  sort of helps me view my life in perspective- it is a happy yet thoughtful song

  Nosferatu

  For as long as I've known that Travelling Wilburys tune, it only struck a chord with me about five years ago with this line:

  Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
  I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
  It don't matter if you're by my side
  I'm satisfied

  It helped me put a positive perspective on life, in that it didn't matter if I was single or in a relationship, I could be happy either way.

  Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera cause it makes me believe there is more out there waiting to be found. When I hear it live, I don't even feel like I'm sitting in the audience anymore. It's just absolutely surreal. I also can't get away from "So far Away" & "Epiphany" from Staind.

  You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone ...
  I first heard you sing,
  I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music ...
  my music ...
  
  Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ...
  Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ...
  Silently the senses abandon thier defences ...
  
  Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour ...
  Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ...
  Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
  turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
  and listen to the music of the night ...
  
  Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
  Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
  Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
  And you'll live as you've never lived before ...
  
  Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ...
  Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ...
  Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
  in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
  the darkness of the music of the night.
  
  Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
  Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
  Let your soul
  Take you where you long to be!
  Only then can you belong to me ...
  
  Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
  Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
  Let the dream begin,
  let your darker side give in to the power of
  the music that I write - the power of the music of the night ...
  
  You alone can make my song take flight -
  help me make the music of the night ...

  Here's mine. My "storm" has not yet fully started. But this song is one I'll remember when it does

  Praise You in This Storm

  words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

  was sure by now, God You would have reached down

  and wiped our tears away,

  stepped in and saved the day.

  But once again, I say amen

  and it's still raining

  as the thunder rolls

  I barely hear You whisper through the rain,

  "I'm with you"

  and as Your mercy falls

  I raise my hands and praise

  the God who gives and takes away.

  Chorus:

  And I'll praise you in this storm

  and I will lift my hands

  for You are who You are

  no matter where I am

  and every tear I've cried

  You hold in your hand

  You never left my side

  and though my heart is torn

  I will praise You in this storm

  I remember when I stumbled in the wind

  You heard my cry to You

  and raised me up again

  my strength is almost gone how can I carry on

  if I can't find You

  and as the thunder rolls

  I barely hear You whisper through the rain

  "I'm with you"

  and as Your mercy falls

  I raise my hands and praise

  the God who gives and takes away

  Chorus

  I lift my eyes unto the hills

  where does my help come from?

  My help comes from the Lord,

  the maker of heaven and earth

  I lift my eyes unto the hills

  where does my help come from?

  My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

  Chorus
