Still more songs that remind us of Ennis and Jack

Here it is, two years later, and at least two months since I've watched any part of the movie last, and this song by Evanescence hit me hard for the first time just this morning:
Wake Me Up Inside ~ Evanescence
(The parts below in parentheses are spoken parts. Can't you just hear Jack and Ennis speaking the two parts to each other?)
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Lading you down into my core,
Where I've become so numb.
Without a soul,
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back
Home.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.
Now that I know what I'm without,
You can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.
Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie.
There's nothing inside.)
Bring me to life.
Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.
(All of this time,
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark,
but you were there in front of me.
I've been sleeping a 1000 years, it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.)
(Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here.
There must be something more.)
Bring me to life.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can’t wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.
Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside.)
Bring me to life.

When I first saw the movie (for me it's only been a month).
I don't know why but I thought of this song. I think it fits. I can see this coming from Ennis.
Ecspecially the last verse.
IT MIGHT BE YOU (Stephen Bishop)
Time, I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly ok, this line maybe not so much
Wishing there could be someone
Waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake and there's so much love to make
I think we’re gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you and
I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you, it's you I've been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it's you Maybe it's you I've been waiting for all of my life.

Yeeeeh! A new songs thread!
I listened to this one by Eva Cassidy - I know you by heart
Midnights in Winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
It's line is etched in my memory.
So I'd know you by heart.
Mornings in April
Sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone.
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on.
Cause I know you by heart.
I still hear your voice
On warm Summer nights
Whispering like the wind.
You left in Autumn
The leaves were turning
I walked down roads of orange and gold.
I saw your sweet smile
I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me every day.
And it's a weird thing, but Street Spirit (Fade Out) by Radiohead always makes me cry because of the last two lines... Immerse your soul in love...
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Fade out again, Fade out.
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all, go under
fade out again, fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Fade out again, Fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

Girl, You know I love Miss Eva! ;D
Here is another song I can see Ennis in. The song reminds me of Jack but it captures how Ennis must have felt.
This one makes me cry.
Autum Leaves
Eva Cassidy
The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands i used to hold.
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon i'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon i'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
This song was written by my fellow Geargia boy Johnny Mercer

Well, since we're talking about Eva Cassidy, I *must* post the link to this youtube again, and the lyrics follow:

Fields of Gold ~ sung by Eva Cassidy
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
