The DB songbook

[Btrow]

Stupid lyrics.... That should be "cat" and not "cap"...

[doodler]

Wow, Doodler. You do pay attention to detail!! I sure hope you copy/pasted some of that.

I'm ashamed to say, it was blatant plagiarism (i.e. copy and paste). Now I'm living in fear that the FBI will appear at my doorstep at any moment. Fortunately, I'm surrounded by throngs of beautiful women begging for my affections (possibly a little white lie).

I skimmed your sitch. I won't say anything that has not been said already, but detach. You'll be better for it.

I'm so detached that I don't even know who I am. In fact, I'd prefer to be addressed as "the artist formally known as doodler."

[RAI]

Btrow, I'll have to listen to the Keith Urban song. It sounds very much like a DBers lament, with a hint of healthy detachment.

Hope all is well. I'll stop by your thread next. Doodler's too.

Best,

RAI

You'll Think of Me by Keith Urban, as recommended by BTrow. Wow! I just gave it my first listen. So fitting for a DBer. A must for the DB country music lover.

I'll second that Keith Urban song. I told someone i liked country because i liked him and they told me that wasn't "real" country.

Got a few DB type songs that most likely date me (they are all older):

Before Detachment:
Cranberries "When You're Gone"
Don Henley "You're Not Drinking Enough" (sing doodler's song afterwards)

After Detachment:
Sting "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" first comes to mind
Sting has quite a few actually
"It's Probably Me"
"Why should I cry for you?"
Bob Marley "Waiting in Vain"
Judas Priest "You've Got Another Thing Comin'"
Foreigner "Cold As Ice" (for those left by a WAW or Wayward)
Foreigner "That Was Yesterday"
Sammy Hagar "Never Give Up"
The Calling "Wherever You Will Go"
U2 "Love Rescue Me"
Don Henley "The Heart Of The Matter"
Journey "Be Good To Yourself"
Tom Petty "Change Of Heart"
Tom Petty "You Got Lucky"
Yes "Love Will Find a Way"
Toto "I'll Be Over You"
Genesis "Throwing It All Away"
Alanis Morissette "You Learn"

For the Stander:
Depeche Mode "It's No Good"

And for those that move on:
Phil Collins "I Don't Wanna Know"
Phil Collins "I Don't Care Anymore"

Editor's note: There is a disagreement as to whether the word is "cat" or "cap"; I've checked various lyrics sites and they have either word. I'm gonna go with cap, since that seems to make sense in the context of this line...but in the long run, anything's possible.

I live with a seven year old girl. As a consequence, "My Little Pony" occupies way too much of my life. Don't judge me. This is a hell of a hopeful song, though.

"Time to be Awesome" - Rainbow Dash and Zoe Saldana

I know the world can getcha down
Things don't work out quite the way that you thought
Feeling like all your best days are done
Your fears and doubts are all you've got

But there's a light, shining deep inside
Beneath those fears and doubts so just squash 'em
And let it shine for all the world to see
That it is time, yeah, time to be awesome!

Ah, ah, ah, ah - awesome!
It's time to be so awesome!
Ah, ah, ah, ah - awesome!
It's time to be so awesome!

You've no idea how hard it's been
This dull routine we've been forced to do
Don't let them rob you of who you are
Be awesome, it's all up to you

I feel the light, stirring deep inside
It's like a tale still yet to be told
And now it's time to break the shackles free
And start living like the brave and the bold

[AnotherStander]

Interesting that this thread was bumped up because this morning I was sitting at my desk and suddenly thought of a song I haven't heard in a while. I don't even know the name of it but the refrain is "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife ,where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife ..." When I was BD'd nearly 6 years ago I joined a gym and right away went almost every day. That song played at least once every time I was there. That was a very, very difficult time for me filled with anxiety attacks and depression and just raw fear, even working out didn't dissipate a lot of that, especially early on. Incredibly, just thinking about the song today gave me a mini anxiety attack and at first I didn't even know why! Then I remembered where I knew the song from, and more importantly "when" I knew it from. Crazy the things that trigger us.

On another note, when I finally started recovering from BD one of my favorite songs to crank in the car was Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know, I just really identified with the "I'll look calm on the outside but inside it's another story" attitude it portrays, or maybe more like "I love you and miss you but I hate you at the same time" LOL!

I want you to know, that I am happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you
To be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died
'Til you died, but you're still alive

And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you -bleep- her?

(refrain)

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed
That was me and I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it
Well, can you feel it?

(refrain)

[SteveLW]

This thread reminds me of the songs my wife sings on the karaoke app. Lots of them about walking away, etc.

[Btrow]

RAI,
Another powerful one here:
Ina Vroldsen "Stronger"

You sit there with that look on your face like you won
Like nothing that I say is gonna change how you feel now
You sit there and you tell me you fell outta love
And we are in your way so you just gotta leave now
And we just need to understand your reasons
And you are gonna justify this treason
By telling me the promises that we sworn ain't enough

So now you gonna be another person?
And how do I explain this [censored] to our son?
How'd you tell a toddler about a girlfriend?
Daddy's gone

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
Don't worry I will carry your share for us
No matter how bad the storm
I will be strongest that he ever knew
And we'll leave you alone

You sit there with your phone in your hands and you're hurt
You tell me that you feel like you lost me when he came
I'm sorry but I cannot connect with your words
'Cause right now what matters isn't yours but it is his name
And we just need to find another income
'Cause she wants you to help her with her own one
And you want me to tell me that what you've done is okay

So now you gonna be another father?
And I will be a different kind of mother?
And you'd tell a toddler 'bout step brothers?
Daddy's strayed

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
Don't worry I will carry your share for us
No matter how bad the storm
I will be strongest that he ever knew
And we'll leave you alone

Let's talk about family
Let's talk about family
Let's talk of the ties and the lies
And the love that we had in this family
Let's talk about honesty
You know nothing about honesty
I'll let go of your hands and our plans
And the chance that we had with this family

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
Don't worry I will carry your share for us
No matter how bad the storm
I will be strongest that he ever knew
And we'll leave you alone
