Depeche ModeSomebody

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=6po9SB7X5BI&feature=related

I want somebody to share share the rest of my life share my innermost thoughts know my intimate details someone who'll stand by my side and give me support and in return she'll get my support She will listen to me when I want to speak about the world we live in and life in general though my views may be wrong they may even be perverted she'll hear me out and won't easily be converted to my way of thinking in fact she'll often disagree but at the end of it all she will understand me ah I want somebody who cares for me passionately with every thought and with every breath someone who'll help me see things in a different light all the things I detest I will almost like I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things but when I'm asleep I want somebody who will put their arms around me kiss me tenderly though things like this make me sick in a case like this I'll get away with it ah

I think we need some Springsteen in this threadBruce Springsteen Downbound Train (& Great guitar riff in here)

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3-dtbnfzKA

I had a job, I had a girl I had something going, mister, in this world I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard Now I work down at the car wash Where all it ever does is rain Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train She just said, "Joe, I gotta go We had it once, we ain't got it anymore" She packed her bags, left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel her kiss in the misty rain And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train Last night I heard your voice You were crying, crying, you were so alone You said your love had never died You were waiting for me at home Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran till I thought my chest would explode There in the clearing, beyond the highway In the moonlight, our wedding house shone I rushed through the yard I burst through the front door, my head pounding hard Up the stairs I climbed The room was dark, our bed was empty Then I heard that long whistle whine And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain Now, don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Howard Joneslike to get to know you well

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD3qA54Fn_Q&feature=related

Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together. Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you wellSo we can be oneWe can be one together. Together we can cast away the fear Together we can wipe away the tear. Together we can strip down the barriers and be one. Don't wanna talk about the weather Don't wanna talk about the news Just wanna get to the real you inside. Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well . . . Don't you think now is time we should be feeling? Just wanna simply say Won't let you slip away. People wanna talk about the future Don't wanna linger on the past Just wanna reach to the real you inside. Forget cold glances and rejections Leave the things that separate Build on a trust that we must stand on. Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well . . . Finding all are insecure opening the same door Leaving out a stubborn pride seeing from another side. Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well...

Howard Jones - Don't Always Look At The RainSome people I know have given up on their livesDrowning their sorrows, and mumblin', and forgot the fightWe can tip the balance we can break those barriers downLittle things count as much as the big and turn it all aroundAnd it's oh, don't always look at the rainNo, don't look at the rainSome people I know have lost their feel for mysteryThey say everything has got to be proved, this isn't a nurseryAnd Joseph who's five years old, stops fights in his playground yardNo more fights and bigotry, oh is it so hardAnd it's oh, don't always look at the rainNo, don't always look at the rainHa, don't always look at the rainAnd tell me, is it a crime to have an ideal or twoEvolving takes its time, we can't do it all in one goDoesn't have to drive us all mad, we can only do our bestLet the mind shut up, and the heart do the rest

More SpringsteenNo one tells a story better than the Boss...

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my handInto the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old manId sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through townHed tousle my hair and say son take a good look aroundThis is your hometown, this is your hometownThis is your hometown, this is your hometownIn `65 tension was running high at my high schoolThere was a lot of fights between the black and whiteThere was nothing you could doTwo cars at a light on a saturday night in the back seat there was a gunWords were passed in a shotgun blastTroubled times had come to my hometownMy hometown, my hometown, my hometownNow main streets whitewashed windows and vacant storesSeems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no moreThey're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracksForeman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back toYour hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometownLast night me and kate we laid in bed talking about getting outPacking up our bags maybe heading southIm thirty-five we got a boy of our own nowLast night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a goodLook aroundThis is your hometown

This is awesome... This is what they should have been doing all along. Maybe it will re open the new wave genre. What do you call this? New New Wave?

I could feel at the timeThere was no way of knowingFallen leaves in the nightWho can say where they're blowing?As free as the windHopefully learningWhy the sea on the tideHas no way of turning?More than this, you know there is nothingMore than this, tell me one thingMore than this, there is nothingIt was fun for a whileThere was no way of knowingLike a dream in the nightWho can say where we're going?No care in the worldMaybe I'm learningWhy the sea on the tideHas no way of turning?More than this, you know there is nothingMore than this, tell me one thingMore than this, now there is nothingMore than this, nothingMore than thisMore than this, nothing

Can't leave out this awesome Howard Jones number...The video doesn't mean nearly as much as the words. They are the important part.

We're not scared to lose it allSecurity throw through the wallFuture dreams we have to realizeA thousand sceptic handsWon't keep us from the things we planUnless we're clinging to the things we prizeAnd do you feel scared - I doBut I won't stop and falterAnd if we threw it all awayThings can only get betterWow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh ohTreating today as though it wasThe last, the final showGet to sixty and feel no regretIt may take a little timeA lonely path, an uphill climbSuccess or failure will not alter itAnd do you feelWow wow wow oh...

Click: U2 - With or without youSee the stone set in your eyesSee the thorn twist in your side.I wait for you.Sleight of hand and twist of fateOn a bed of nails she makes me waitAnd I wait without youWith or without youWith or without you.Through the storm, we reach the shoreYou gave it all but I want moreAnd I'm waiting for youWith or without youWith or without you.I can't live with or without you.And you give yourself awayAnd you give yourself awayAnd you give, and you giveAnd you give yourself away.My hands are tied, my body bruisedShe´s got me with nothing to winAnd nothing left to lose.And you give yourself awayAnd you give yourself awayAnd you give, and you giveAnd you give yourself away.With or without youWith or without youI can't liveWith or without you.With or without youWith or without youI can't liveWith or without youWith or without you.

Jennifer Rush the power of love

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr0xJBsVbZY

The whispers in the morning Of lovers sleeping tight Are rolling by like thunder now As I look in your eyes I hold on to your body And feel each move you make Your voice is warm and tender A love that I could not forsake Chorus: 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can Lost is how I'm feeling Lying in your arms When the world outside's too much to take That all ends when I'm with you Even though there may be times It seems I'm far away But never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side Chorus: 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love The sound of your heart beating Made it clear suddenly The feeling that I can't go on Is light years away Chorus: 'Cause I’m your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'm gonna do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love Oh the power of love The power of love Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn 'Bout the power of love

Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well

Like to get to know you well So we can be one We can be one together.

Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well

Like to get to know you wellSo we can be oneWe can be one together.

Together we can cast away the fear Together we can wipe away the tear. Together we can strip down the barriers and be one. Don't wanna talk about the weather Don't wanna talk about the news

Just wanna get to the real you inside. Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well . . . Don't you think now is time we should be feeling? Just wanna simply say Won't let you slip away. People wanna talk about the future Don't wanna linger on the past

Just wanna reach to the real you inside. Forget cold glances and rejections Leave the things that separate

Build on a trust that we must stand on.

Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well . . . Finding all are insecure opening the same door

Leaving out a stubborn pride seeing from another side. Like to get to know you well Like to get to know you well...

Speaking of Richard Marx, this is my favorite track of his:

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FujIQkKH15w

Memories of you and me Tumble inside my head The way that we used to be Things that we said No one has ever made me believe so strong You left me to wonder How did our love go wrong Angelia Where you running to now Angelia Got to make you turn around I lie awake at night Wait for the sun to shine I still feel you next to me Your lips on mine Without a warning You made our love a lie You said you were sorry But you never told me why Angelia Where you running to now Angelia Got to make you turn around Maybe my love is in vain Maybe you're the hurting kind Can't take no more of this pain I've got to get you off my mind Tried to be what you wanted I gave you all I had You left me with nothin' Nothin' but a photograph Angelia Where you running to now Angelia Got to make you turn around Angelia Where you running to now Angelia Got to make you turn around
