Continuing on in this melancholy theme, how about this one from Bonnie Raitt?  Makes me think of Jack on their last night together.  Little did he know...   :(

I Can't Make You Love Me

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, dont patronize - dont patronize me

Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no you wont
cause I cant make you love me if you dont

Ill close my eyes, then I wont see
The love you dont feel when youre holding me
Morning will come and Ill do whats right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no you wont
cause I cant make you love me if you dont

Oh no!!! I can't find "Insensitive" on itunes!!! The problem is, I have itunes with a very limited collection of songs (Dutch version), and I can't log into the US version of itunes, it's crazy...I can never find the songs I am looking for. I did find another song by Jann Arden, it's called Hangin' by a thread, her voice is absolutely beautiful!!! Do you have any idea where I might be able to find Insensitive?

Her voice sounds a bit like Judy Collins' voice, I love "The moon's a harsh mistress", but have trouble finding it online.

 :'( I looked up the lyrics to that song and I think I should post it because we did start that melancholy theme here today, didn't we?

When I cry, I close my eyes
And every tear falls down inside
And I pray with all my might
That I will find my heart in someones arms
When I cry, cry

When I cry
When I am sad I think of every awful thing I ever did
Oh when I cry, there is no love,
No there is nothing that can comfort me enough
When I cry,
Cry, cry

The salt inside my body ruins everyone I come close to
My hands are barely holding up my head
I am so tired of looking at my feet
Or all the secrets that I keep

My heart is barely hangin by a thread
Hangin by a thread

Oh look at me
At all Ive done
Ive lost so many things that I so dearly love
I lost my soul
I lost my pride
Oh I lost any hope of having a sweet life  :'(
So I cry,
Cry, cry

Oh the salt inside my body ruins everyone I come close to
My hands are barely holding up my head
Oh Im so tired of looking at my feet
And all the secrets that I keep
My heart is barely hangin by a thread
Hangin by a thread

I miss you all
I wish I was with you now
I wish I was

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Here's one I learned from a BBM YouTube video someone made.   A very charming song.  I found it back before the DVD came out and we were stalking YouTube for bits and pieces.  She quilted it from the LOGO special, and did a good job matching lyrics to images of Our Boys:



Secret Heart by Feist

Secret heart
What are you made of
What are you so afraid of
Could it be
Three simple words
Or the fear of being overheard
What's wrong

Let em' in on your secret heart

Secret Heart
Why so mysterious
Why so sacred
Why so serious
Maybe you're
Just acting tough
Maybe you're just not man enough
What's wrong

Let em' in on your secret heart

This very secret
That you're trying to conceal
Is the very same one
That You're dying to reveal
Go tell her him how, how you feel

Secret heart come out and share it
This loneliness, few can bear it
Maybe its got something to do with
Admitting that you just can't go through it alone

Let em' in on your secret heart

This very secret
That you're trying to conceal
Is the very same one
That you're dying to reveal
Go tell her him how, how you feel

Let em' in on your secret
Let em' in on your secret
secret heart
your secret heart

Long live youtube!   ;D

Here's another one: I love this song....

"Unfinished Sympathy"

[Shara Nelson, Massive Attack]

I know that i've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now i've got to know much more

The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
[x5]

OMG... this song is one of my all-time faves... love it, love it, LOVE IT!! I'm not sure where Shara is from, but Massive Attack are local boys from Bristol, UK (where I live)! :D
Will you stop playing with that radio of yours, I'm trying to get to sleep!
