this song always makes me cry...

[lord of the mark]

the chapin songs sentiment is alright, but feels a tad manipulative. Perhaps its overplayed?

[lord of the mark]

as opposed to this maudlinly sentimental song (the lyrics dont do it justice, you have to hear the melody, preferably sung by a group of teenage Lubavitch chasid camp counselors), which gets almost NO air time


"The little bird is calling
He wishes to return
The little bird is wounded
He cannot cry but yearns
He's captured by the vultures
And is crying bitterly
Oh to see my nest again
Oh to be redeemed

The little bird of silver
So delicate and rare
Still chirps among the vultures
Outshining all that's there.

How long, how long it suffers
How long will it be
When will come the eagle
And set the little bird free

The little bird is Yisroel
The vultures are our foes
The painful wound is Galus
Which we all feel and know
The nest is Yerusholayim
Which we yearn to see once more
The eagle is Moshiach
Whom we are waiting for"

The best post-break-up song, however, is "Song for the Dumped" by Ben Folds Five.

Nah. 'I Don't Love You' by the Dishrags. I have a cover by the Puta-Pons that kicks ass.

And Asher is clearly out of his element.

I love uninvited. One of the few songs I like from her.

The 80s was the worst musical decade, ever. Made popular by the teenagers at the time.

Boo to you, sir...boo to you.

I like that song.

Dashboard Confessional (understandably) has a ton of pretty emotional songs.

The Brilliant Dance, after a breakup...

So this is odd,
the painful realization that all has gone wrong.
And nobody cares at all,
and nobody cares at all.

So you buried all your lover's clothes
and burned the letters lover wrote,
but it doesn't make it any better.
Does it make it any better?

And the plaster dented from your fist
in the hall where you had your first kiss
reminds you that the memories will fade.

So this is strange,
our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance
where nobody leads at all,
where nobody leads at all.

And the picture frames are facing down
and the ringing from this empty sound
is deafening and keeping you from sleep.
And breathing is a foreign task
and thinking's just too much to ask
and you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights.

This is incredible.
Starving, insatiable,
yes, this is love for the first time.

Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.
Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?
Well this is the last time.
This is the last time.
This is the last time.

wrong answer. The 80's was the best decade for music. Specifically metal. With genres such as thrash (speed) and death metal coming to prominance.

Nah, you're just someone who was old enough to be into music in the 80s. You don't have the hindsight and unbiasedness to hear how truly horrible it was.

This decade isn't over, but it has the potential to rival the 80s when completed.

Once upon a time -
I thought that I'd go far -
Pictured myself -
Getting blowed in a company car -
But now those days are over -
And the well is dry -
I sit around getting high -
Contemplating suicide -
And now some people wonder -
What's the matter with me -
Why I've started wearing diapers -
At the age of 23 -
Because -
Tonight those days are over -
And the well is dry -
I'd go for the meat and potatoes -
But I ain't got the time -
So come on baby - spank my ass -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Penetrate me with broken glass -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Baby make it hurt - baby make it last -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
It's just flesh - and nothing else -
Let's face the facts -
My fate is sealed -
Leather straps tight around my flesh -
Down on my hands and knees -
Now I face the final curtain -
I guess I had to learn -
Every inch of flesh is hurting -
Feel my ass - it burns! -
So come on baby - stomp my face -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Feces war in a sexual haze -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Come on baby - spank my ass -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Penetrate me with broken glass -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Baby make it hurt - baby make it last -
C'mon - It's just flesh, just flesh -
Satan laughing spreads his wings -
It's just flesh, just flesh -
It's just flesh, just flesh -
It's just flesh - there's nothing else...

I do mean popular music, which is why there is some great underground music from the 80'ties.
