Songs that remind us of Heath....

[bec]

I will never, ever EVER be able to hear "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" again without seeing a smiling Heath singing and dancing in the bleachers.

 

I totally agree, but that was always my favorite part when he sang that song. i have actually watched the clip from the movie on u tube a few times which always brings a smile to my face quickly followed by sadness.

OK, so I have never heard this song, but I had a look at some Bob Dylan lyrics and I found this one.....


"Time Passes Slowly"

Time passes slowly up here in the mountain
We sit beside the bridges and walk beside the fountains
Catch the wild fishes that float though the stream
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.

Once I had a sweetheart, she was fine and good-looking
She sat in the kitchen while her mama was cooking
Stared on out the window to the stars high above
Time passes slowly when you're searching for love.

Ain't no reason to go in a wagon to town
Ain't no reason to go to the fair
Ain't no reason to go up, ain't no reason to go down
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.

Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day
Time passes slowly and fades away.

[Scott6373]

OK so I don't expect anyone to know the SONG, but the poem maybe.  This was set by Aaron Copland in a series of songs.  I was listening to them a few days ago, and Heath flashed in my head when this one started.

HEART, we will forget him! 
  You and I, to-night! 
You may forget the warmth he gave, 
  I will forget the light. 
  
When you have done, pray tell me,       
  That I my thoughts may dim; 
Haste! lest while you’re lagging, 
  I may remember him!


Emily Dickinson

This is a beautiful song by the Sugababes that came out a few months ago...

If I could hold you close
Like you were never gone
If I could hear your voice
You'd tell me to be strong

But sometimes
I just can't
I just don't understand
Why you had to go
Why you had to go
I guess I'll never know

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hands
Change

If I could get to you
I'd be there in a minute
My world don't make no sense
Not without you in it

And sometimes
I just cry
Can't say I
Don't know why
But why'd you have to go?
And leave me here alone

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find out it was never ever
In your hands
Change

You don't see it coming
Change
When the future comes knocking
It changed
It can make you and break you too
You just have to make it through

Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find out it was never ever
In your hands
Change

Change, change
Change, change

Change

My boyfriend at the time actually pulled that after our first big fight, because he knew how that scene went straight to my heart. Luckily I stopped him before it got really out of hand... he came to my JOB!!

awww i think thats so sweet, maybe not the place for it tho, but still sweet

Crap. I was actually enjoying the Super Bowl commercials until a Planters one came on that used "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." I actually felt my heart drop to my ankles. Now I have that same sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had when I first heard of Heath's passing.

God, this sucks. It feels like it will never go away. I mean, I know I'll learn to live with it, but I don't think I'll ever get over it. It physically hurts.

Poor Michelle, Matilda and the Ledgers. Take what every single one of us feels, add it all together and multiply it by a million... and it still can't come close to a fraction of what they're all going through.

Found this on youtube. It seemed appropriate, because I like to think thats where Heath is now.  It,s called, appropriately; "In the arms of Angels".

this song reminds me of several things.  first of all, it reminds me of ennis, and what he must've been feeling after jack's death.  i think he decided to go to his daughter's wedding in the end because he realized the people he loved in his life were worth sacraficing for.  i think jack's death taught him that.
it reminds me of jack and ennis's big fight at the end when ennis told jack to leave him be, and that he's "no one and nowhere".
it reminds me of everything ennis would be missing about jack.
it reminds me of everything ennis would be regretting.....and how maybe in the light of jack's death, ennis would've given anything to have the chance to be with him again, and all the changes ennis probably made in his heart that jack will never know.




"The Difficult Kind"

I think I was wrong
I think you were right
That all my angry words
Will keep me up at night
And through the old screen door
I still hear you say
Oh, Honey won't you stop
Treating me that way

[Chorus]
If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
Cause babe I've changed

Tell it to me slow
Tell me with your eyes
If anyone should know
How to let it slide
I swear I can see you
Coming up the drive
And there ain't nothing like regret
To remind you you're alive

[Chorus]

I crossed the canyon a thousand times
But never noticed what was mine
What you'll remember of me tonight
Well, it almost makes me cry
Yeah, it almost makes me cry

Oh ballbreaking moon and ridiculing stars
The older I get, the closer you are
Don't you have somewhere that you need to be?
Instead of hanging here making a fool of me

If you could only see
What love has made of me
Then I'd no longer be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see the change in me
If you could only see
What love has made of me
But I'll forever be in your mind
The difficult kind
But you won't see
No you won't see
The good in me
But babe I've changed
Cause babe I've changed

I've said it before - Linkin Park's "Shadow of the Day" will forever make me think of Heath.  It came out the week he died - at least it started getting a lot of airplay that week or the week just before.  And it just - fits.

Judging from the sheer number of Youtube tributes to him featuring this song, I'm not alone in that view.

Here's my favorite of all of them so far:

I'll post the lyrics if anyone would like, but I think you have to hear the song to really get its full impact.
