A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain
kirkmusic:
Beckyyyyyyyyy. Nothing Compares To You was written by Prince. You're young. I understand. ;D
Here's a song from the new self titled Pearl Jam cd that reminded me of story Ennis in the framing sequence.
COME BACK
If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof
It's only rain that I feel
I've been wishin' out the days
Oh oh oh
Come back
I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishin' out the days
Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Oh oh oh oh
Come back
And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah
And in the night, I've been waiting for
A real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart
Will my memory stay clear?
So you had to go
And I had to remain here
But the strangest thing to date
So far away and yet you feel so close
I'm not going to question it any other way
It must be an open door for you
To come back
And the days they linger on, yeah
Every night I'm waiting for
The real possibility that I may need to end my pain
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
And it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
The three consecutive "it's okay"s made me think, geez, was this inspired by the movie?
kirkmusic:
Okay. With no small degree of trepidation I present...
THE WINGS (vocal version)
lyrics by (shudder) me <still want to make these two edits. Lines don't look right>
<Looking through feathers I see you sometimes>
The wings on my back are like metal and stone
They cover my eyes and weigh heavy on me
I'm sheltered and blinded, I'm safe and alone
I don't have the words to make sense of my need
Each definition you hold in your hand
But God he has placed me out of your reach
So I am still living by lower demands
Oh my love
We are cold in the light
We are grounded in flight
Oh my love
In every heart living there's something inside
That's meant to be passed between people we love
I can't change the way that I've chosen to live
I can't stand the pain of not giving enough
I'm sorry for giving you hope for this life
When nothing worth living for lasts very long
And I wish to heaven that someone had told me
The struggle just might have been worth taking on
Oh my love
We are cold in the light
We are grounded in flight
Oh my love
In dreams we are gifted with open blue skies
We ride with each other the mountains we knew
<When dreams are all over and death grants my wish>
The wings on my back they will fly me to you
The wings on my back will fly me to you
So that's the version that Gustavo has with my name all over it from the Aero. :)

Kirk,
For some reason (but which ???), I was not receiving the answers to this topic anymore, so I have just discovered the lyrics you wrote to The Wings! It is beautiful :) I wish I could hear it. Any idea where I can?
Isabelle.

The first time that ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
to the dark and the empty skies, my love
to the dark and the empty skies
The first time that ever I lay with you
and felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
and last till the end of time, my love,
and last till the ende of time
The first time that ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
like the trembling heart of a captive bird
that was there at my command, my love,
that was there at my command.

I LOVE THIS SONG TOO! I've heard two versions now (one by George Michael) and it is such a beautiful song! Fits perfectly for BBM!
