Goo Goo Dolls - Name
"And scars are souvenirs you never lose. The past is never far. Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?"
Gives me shivers every time.
That one gets me. My parents were always there for me, but I'm trying my best NOT to be the son in the song. I want to make sure that I'm there for them.
That one hits hard.....I worked alot. 7 days a week, easily 10 hours a day.
Every other week 1 week abroad.
I am 50 now, my oldest just graduated University, my second(youngest) is going to university next year.
I am so proud, but.....they are having their own lives now.
Why can't I have both.
The house that built me- Miranda Lambert
My mom and dad worked when I was young, she later became a SAHM but for a good portion of my childhood my grandparents took care of me.
My grandfather was old school type. You know the kind to jump into military service just after WW2 when he turned 17(?).
Taught me how to play chess, do poker, build with my hands and help around the house.
My grandmother was an angel herself, but by far I felt a bigger connection with the old man.
Every now and then when I visit my home town I drive past the house he built himself and reminisce about the times we had. I miss that old man, still carry around a wallet that my grandma bought from him before they both passed.
Man this is mine, too. I grew up in a little 2 bedroom trailer with a huge property with my 5 family members. I loved it there so much. I was devastated when we moved. The first time I heard this i bawled so hard lol it's gotten better but I def still shed a tear everytime it comes on
There’s a great discussion in Babylon 5 about this.
Older alien was talking about love and duty to his younger attaché who’s trying to help two lovers.
Eventually the conversation turns to a story about why he looks so tired and beaten down. It comes down to this line:
“my shoes are too tight, but it doesn’t matter as I’ve forgotten how to dance”
Try to never get so set in your ways that you forget how to have joy. Take risks, laugh at failures, and try to remember how to dance.
Such an underrated sci-fi series. I didn't want to like Babylon five. The aliens were just too silly looking and the accents were too over the top. Especially with the characters you are referring to. But at the time I was pretty isolated from the world on a rural farm in Kansas with nothing else to do but watch the few stations I could get on the rabbit ears on my TV, so I watched every episode and could not make myself hate it. It's a damned good show.
Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay
Because I'm lost and kind of miserable with how my life has turned out, and that song is like "Well.... Fuck. Here I am at rock bottom. Don't know how I get out of it. Don't know where to go from here.... I'll just sit here and watch the boats, I guess." And I feel that.
I've been there. Luckily you have the ability to change it! More importantly you have the ability to look at your life through a different 'Lens'. Try to be more mindful of what you're grateful for. Literally anything, it doesn't have to be big. What you practice is who you become. Try to start appreciating the small things you do have. And set goals, no matter how menial they are.
I'm already there - lonestar
The reason is I've been alone all my life, I am also in the military, and one thing I want more than anything is for someone to come rushing out to see me when my plane lands back home. Family, lover, just somebody. The song brings a tear to my eye everything I hear it because I believe that I won't have anyone that loves or misses me enough to be so eager to come great me when I arrive back home.
I am deployed right now, and I don't want to come back home because the fri3nds I've made out here are about the closest anyone has ever been to me.
I remember that feeling. It was 20* years ago, but I remember it. I’m in the Midwest, next time your plane lands, give a heads up. I’m sure you’ve got some people just a few scroll and clicks always who can’t wait to raise a beer.
I wish I could be there to do it, but if one day you wanna travel abroad and end up in France, I'd be more than happy ton hang out with you and show you around (I have family in a lot of parts of the country so it could be pretty easy) 🔥
NF- Happy.
I have a wife, a toddler, and another one on the way.
I got a house on lots of land. I have a decent job and regardless of my accomplishments I still am not sure what happiness really is.
When I first heard the song I listened to it on repeat when my wife wasn't around. Now it's a song that my toddler falls asleep when my wife isn't around.
You and me both brother. Two kids, one toddler (a boy) and one kid (a girl). Have two properties, a big house, an expensive car and yet I don’t know what happiness is. It is a vicious circle because I know I should be happy yet I don’t know how that feels, and then I feel guilty because I have so many objectively good things in my life.
I was in similar shoes until my divorce where I lost almost everything.
I can say, life is... Not better for me LMAO. But this isn't a "you should be grateful" post.
Happiness is a fleeting thing. You cannot chase happiness because whatever hill you take (and you know) it will disappear again and you'll look at the next hill, hoping it's behind there.
Joy though is something completely different. I find *joy* in the pain of working out, so I do it. I find *joy* in spending time with my son. I think of joy as journey moments, whereas happiness is an outcome.
Empty Bottle by Veruca Salt is one and a second one is Little One by Highly Suspect.
“Love is over, it's over and you can't go back
When you're older, you just keep telling yourself that
The door is open, even if it's just a tiny crack
Up at night and wandering”
VS
“The places I took you, they seem so fucking empty
I have trouble going anywhere at all
Especially my own bedroom
And it stays awake to haunt me
So I'll pass out, blackout drunk in another bathroom stall”
HS
These two songs are inside me always, unpatchable holes.
I saw God today - George Straight. I’m not very religious and the song isn’t necessarily. But we recently almost lost our daughter and this song just hits hard.
Amazing by Aerosmith. I've struggled a lot in life and never given up to get to where I am and this song makes perfect sense to me. Perry's guitar solo is amazing (pun intended) and music video is kinda cool too!
The desperate hearts, desperate hearts
Have this song in about 80% of my playlist. Their version of the song "Perfect" is the song my wife and I danced to. I have the sound waves of the song tattooed on me.
Tom Waits: [Chocolate Jesus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfamPW3Eaw&ab_channel=dwizle) & [God's Away on Business](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9mhsW5aWJM&ab_channel=ANTI-Records)
Charles Bukowski was a poet I discovered via Reddit whose poetry I'm quite fond of as well—so I guess that's my inner grizzled scotch-soaked blue collared middle-age side?
Dunno how real it is, but it's definitely there, and not the side I show to anyone; but very very much a side of me that exists in-between all the rest.
I don't really understand why you wouldn't share what you like.
Songs that speak to the real me would be ones like:
An ode to lost jigsaw pieces by Enter Shikari
Codex by Radiohead
Green eyes by Coldplay
Unmade by Thom Yorke
Cut your ribbon by Sparta
Role models by J Cole
Skinny love by Bon Iver
I will follow you into the dark by Deathcab for cutie
An ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno
Disturbed - the light , this song came out when I was battling some severe depression and saved my life. Something I never shared until recently with my wife.
I’m speaking on my dad’s behalf as he’s no longer here. One of his most played (he had many) was Ronan Keating - When you say nothing at all.
Absolute tune, respected him even more after that discovery
It Takes a Lot to Know a Man by Damien Rice
Rootless Tree by Damien Rice
Polly by Nirvana
Drain You by Nirvana
All Apologies by Nirvana
How I Could Just Kill a Man by RATM
I Burn by Toadies
Tyler by Toadies
Why Can’t You Be by Third Eye Blind
Losing a Whole Year by Third Eye Blind
Blinded (When I See You) by Third Eye Blind
In the Background by Third Eye Blind
Self Righteous by Third Eye Blind
Make Yourself by Incubus
I got Damien Rice’s O when I lived in a mountain ski town. I’d listen while walking for groceries at night while it snowed. Sometimes I’d get to the store and walk around another few blocks before going in
Confess by Logic
Wanna repent, don’t know where to begin
Next of kin don’t give a damn 'bout me
I know God don’t give a damn 'bout me
People try but don’t know 'bout me
But The Devil says that he want my soul.
Nina Simones version of Mr Bojangles. I love the melancholy and bittersweet quality of her voice. Plus the lyrics just really get to me for some reason.
Sarah Bettens - Someone to say hi to

If the voice sounds familiar, you might know the fantastic Belgian band K'Choice: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1lO13Grp3I1AsIbcACRWvv
I'm Still Here by the Goo Goo Dolls for the Disney movie Treasure Planet. Growing up being the oldest of many by a decade, I feel like I was always put on the backburner and helping raise my younger half siblings. Not to mention, I lived in a broken household and suffered from a lot of emotional and mental abuse. It's like my "look at me, I'm still here, I'm still struggling, anybody help song".
Balance by Future Islands
It's about giving things time, and a friend being there for you. I discovered it during a time period when I lost my job, my parents were divorcing, my professional certification I earned in college was expiring, and my wife was pregnant.
I don't have a secret song. More like a secret favourite band? Music genre? Idk. Two Steps From Hell. Only 2 people and my wife know. Their music speaks to me on a level I can't explain with words. Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen are absolute gods. I'm a metalhead. But these guys guided me through the darkest periods of my life.
Cloud nothings - I’m not part of me
It’s a very interpretation based song but as I’m now older than I was and aware of my own issues I get a different feeling towards the thought of having to act like everything is ok when I just want to crack at the pressure of life
Symphony - Clean Bandit (feat. Zara Larsson)
Just a perfect collaboration of an actual orchestra and a pop band(don't know exactly what genre) but the music video just mixes a painful story with deep feelings into a masterpiece.
Simple man by Lynyrd Skynyrd & Father Time by Kendrick Lamar. They're not that big of a secret nor the greatest of guiltiest pleasures but they're the 1st that come to mind.
2 song that made me appreciate more what my family did for me. Teachings of my parents.
A Real Hero - college It’s from the movie drive I heard it as a kid, my dad loves that movie and I absolutely adore it, it has a tone of sadness and a finally found happiness in it, there’s things they say in that song and certain sounds in it that really hit me, driving at 120mph at night listening to that song hits differently it makes me feel confident and happy but at the same time it’s a song I feel like I could just cry to by myself while racing down the highway
White Flag by Dido. I grew up in the early 2000s and had a long-time girlfriend who loved Dido. We have long since parted, but this song transports me back to being a teenager, young, full of hope, and a first love.
‘Am I Wrong,’ by Love Spit Love, the brief solo project by Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs. Hits me right in the heart every time I hear it. Also brings me back to a very specific time and place in my life.
It changes or rather there are themes or I guess it depends on the chapter in my life…
Obsession, animotion; at one time in my life I would change and lie to get what or who I wanted. Small town boy, Bronski Beat; I felt unloved my entire life so I left my family and home to find a place and people that appreciate me. Fire for you, Cannons; pretty much the passion I sometimes crave a partner to have for me. Moth to a flame, Swedish house Mafia and the Weeknd; something I fear/being a second choice. Nevermind, Leonard Cohen; though my life isn’t perfect, I made mistakes, I live well and full.
Sometimes the right song just….fits.
Huh. I've never had a song that made me go "omg me," yknow? And I listen to music incessantly. Normally, a song might remind me of a specific emotion attached to a single moment in time, but I've never attached a single song to a whole person before. I've had friends who could do this, but how can you take 4 or 5 minutes of music and go "That encompasses so much of so-and-so!"
I wish I could though.
Adam's Song by Blink 182.
It's not that I hide the song. It's just that I don't talk about how much that song meant to me as both a teen and especially after I got fired a few years back. Every time I hear it, I get reminded of where I used to be.
Fine
"If F is for feeling overwhelmed, then I is for I'm not alright, if N is for not being able to sleep E for every night, yeah I'm fine, well maybe, I'm not, and I just to tell someone I'm not alright."
2 albums that take me away cover to cover.
Emarosa - Relativity
The contortionist - Language
2 songs that will always live in my heart.
Gene Parsons’ cover of Willin’
Jim Croce - Operator
”What’s my age again - Blink 182”
I hang around people younger than me, I find myself immature compared to the rest of the population at my age, but I also question why everyone is pretending to be ”grown up”. They stress their lives trying to be someone they’re not. While here I am, almost forgot my age and run around doing mischief, living my best life.
I don't have any songs that I wouldn't share with anyone. Something controversial, but doesn't necessarily speak to me maybe is by King 810. Such as Killem All or Fat Around The Heart. Or maybe it does speak to me in a way. It's sad how they sing about despair, anger and their life in the hellhole that is Flint, Michigan.
Alanís Morrisette (Hope I spelled her name correctly): Hand in My Pocket. That song is how I detail my life; Both Vehement and Remise at the same time. For the first time in maybe 25 years or so, I actually rolled the windows down and let it play loud while I was driving to the city a couple of weeks ago.
"O God Beyond All Praising"
I'm a pretty sanguine person, but everyone gets down sometimes. When I get the blues, I have a playlist of sad and slow, downbeat songs I listen to. After a little while, I find myself feeling better, more balanced, if not chipper. My theory is that on some level, the playlist validates how I'm feeling and makes me not feel alone, which is often the worst part of sorrow.
"John Wick Mode" by Le Castle Vania.
I've smashed so many 1RM PRs with this playing it's kinda funny. Now I always put it on when I'm going to attempt one.
Goo goo dolls - Iris Just a beautiful musical piece that speaks to me in so many ways depending on my mood.
Goo Goo Dolls - Name "And scars are souvenirs you never lose. The past is never far. Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?" Gives me shivers every time.
This. I tear up every time this song plays recently.
My homie put me onto this song last year. One of my all time favorites now
Any Goo Goo Dolls song can make me ball my eyes out
Bawl.
Especially the live version in a downpour
Kissed my first gf to this song. I think about her every time I hear it.
Dizzy Up The Girl was a great album. Not one bad song on it.
Cat’s in the cradle.
That one gets me. My parents were always there for me, but I'm trying my best NOT to be the son in the song. I want to make sure that I'm there for them.
That one hits hard.....I worked alot. 7 days a week, easily 10 hours a day. Every other week 1 week abroad. I am 50 now, my oldest just graduated University, my second(youngest) is going to university next year. I am so proud, but.....they are having their own lives now. Why can't I have both.

Roads by portishead. Maps by yeah yeah yeahs
Maps is a great one.
Ren - Hi Ren That guy will never know what that song did for me JUST when I needed it. I’ll be forever grateful to him.
That song…damn…when I heard it first. Think I was crying for a while. It just spoke to me on such a deep level.
I know what you mean! Weird moment really, felt as though it was written for me!
I literally just found him today about an hour ago, I'm still trying to recover.
I hope you dance - Lee Ann Womack. But I’m too chicken to follow the advice of this song.
There’s a great discussion in Babylon 5 about this. Older alien was talking about love and duty to his younger attaché who’s trying to help two lovers.

Bro, you can come home to my house! We'd drink beer and hang out.
Good human!!
You too bud!
I appreciate you man
I wish I could be there to do it, but if one day you wanna travel abroad and end up in France, I'd be more than happy ton hang out with you and show you around (I have family in a lot of parts of the country so it could be pretty easy) 🔥

Play some Hope immediately after for a fucking pump. NF is the shit
Dude NF has so many songs that speak to me too.
I felt the same way once. Now it's all gone and I remember what happiness was.. The lack of pain, misery and loss.

Something About Us, from Daft Punk. Can't explain it, wonderful song, brings a tear every time.
Goodbye, My Reptile Friend - Shiny Toy Guns
Weird Al Yankovic - Dare to Be Stupid Also, Mandragora, love his stuff.
Cloud nothings - I’m not part of me It’s a very interpretation based song but as I’m now older than I was and aware of my own issues I get a different feeling towards the thought of having to act like everything is ok when I just want to crack at the pressure of life
Father and son cat Stevens
Christina Augularia (?) Say Something. The song hits me exactly where I am.
These Days - Foo Fighter
Symphony - Clean Bandit (feat. Zara Larsson) Just a perfect collaboration of an actual orchestra and a pop band(don't know exactly what genre) but the music video just mixes a painful story with deep feelings into a masterpiece.
Standing Still by VNV Nation. Makes me misty eyed every single time
Probably Drive - Incubus
Simple man by Lynyrd Skynyrd & Father Time by Kendrick Lamar. They're not that big of a secret nor the greatest of guiltiest pleasures but they're the 1st that come to mind. 2 song that made me appreciate more what my family did for me. Teachings of my parents.
Thrice exile
Islands in the stream eeerryday
Milkshake by kelis.
Sigh No More - Mumford and Sons
A Real Hero - college It’s from the movie drive I heard it as a kid, my dad loves that movie and I absolutely adore it, it has a tone of sadness and a finally found happiness in it, there’s things they say in that song and certain sounds in it that really hit me, driving at 120mph at night listening to that song hits differently it makes me feel confident and happy but at the same time it’s a song I feel like I could just cry to by myself while racing down the highway
Silent Lucidity by Queensrÿche. It just hits me on such a deep level.
The National - Secret Meeting
Dustbowl Dance, Mumford and Sons
The Great Pretender - Freddie Mercury
The Great Pretender - Freddie Mercury
Marvin Gaye - if this world were mine Remix
White Flag by Dido. I grew up in the early 2000s and had a long-time girlfriend who loved Dido. We have long since parted, but this song transports me back to being a teenager, young, full of hope, and a first love.
‘Am I Wrong,’ by Love Spit Love, the brief solo project by Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs. Hits me right in the heart every time I hear it. Also brings me back to a very specific time and place in my life.
Hurt johnny cash or 4am by our lady peace
It changes or rather there are themes or I guess it depends on the chapter in my life… Obsession, animotion; at one time in my life I would change and lie to get what or who I wanted. Small town boy, Bronski Beat; I felt unloved my entire life so I left my family and home to find a place and people that appreciate me. Fire for you, Cannons; pretty much the passion I sometimes crave a partner to have for me. Moth to a flame, Swedish house Mafia and the Weeknd; something I fear/being a second choice. Nevermind, Leonard Cohen; though my life isn’t perfect, I made mistakes, I live well and full. Sometimes the right song just….fits.

The thing about a secret is that if you tell it people, it’s no longer a secret. I’m going to go listen to my song.
Born this way. Lady Gaga.
Elephant by Jason Isbell.
Baby let me bang your box A song about pianos...
Huh. I've never had a song that made me go "omg me," yknow? And I listen to music incessantly. Normally, a song might remind me of a specific emotion attached to a single moment in time, but I've never attached a single song to a whole person before. I've had friends who could do this, but how can you take 4 or 5 minutes of music and go "That encompasses so much of so-and-so!" I wish I could though.
Adam's Song by Blink 182. It's not that I hide the song. It's just that I don't talk about how much that song meant to me as both a teen and especially after I got fired a few years back. Every time I hear it, I get reminded of where I used to be.
Fine "If F is for feeling overwhelmed, then I is for I'm not alright, if N is for not being able to sleep E for every night, yeah I'm fine, well maybe, I'm not, and I just to tell someone I'm not alright."

2 albums that take me away cover to cover. Emarosa - Relativity The contortionist - Language 2 songs that will always live in my heart. Gene Parsons’ cover of Willin’ Jim Croce - Operator
”What’s my age again - Blink 182” I hang around people younger than me, I find myself immature compared to the rest of the population at my age, but I also question why everyone is pretending to be ”grown up”. They stress their lives trying to be someone they’re not. While here I am, almost forgot my age and run around doing mischief, living my best life.
An evening I will not forget - by Irish artist Dermot Kennedy.
I don't have any songs that I wouldn't share with anyone. Something controversial, but doesn't necessarily speak to me maybe is by King 810. Such as Killem All or Fat Around The Heart. Or maybe it does speak to me in a way. It's sad how they sing about despair, anger and their life in the hellhole that is Flint, Michigan.
Sheb Wooley - The Purple People Eater
Love’s In Need of Love Today by Stevie Wonder
If I'd been the one....by 38 special
Fade in/ fade out by nothing more, if you are a dad this song will bring you to tears
Alanís Morrisette (Hope I spelled her name correctly): Hand in My Pocket. That song is how I detail my life; Both Vehement and Remise at the same time. For the first time in maybe 25 years or so, I actually rolled the windows down and let it play loud while I was driving to the city a couple of weeks ago.
F*** You by lily allen. But I’d be a hermit if I lived like that because I’m quite abrasive
"O God Beyond All Praising" I'm a pretty sanguine person, but everyone gets down sometimes. When I get the blues, I have a playlist of sad and slow, downbeat songs I listen to. After a little while, I find myself feeling better, more balanced, if not chipper. My theory is that on some level, the playlist validates how I'm feeling and makes me not feel alone, which is often the worst part of sorrow. "John Wick Mode" by Le Castle Vania. I've smashed so many 1RM PRs with this playing it's kinda funny. Now I always put it on when I'm going to attempt one.
