Still more songs that remind us of Ennis and Jack

Sounds of Lonliness
Patty Loveless

Hear the sounds of loneliness
Hear the sounds all around
Since you've gone and left me alone
I just hear these sounds from now on
And they grow louder..
And louder...
And louder...
And louder...

Hear the sounds of my tears
Fallen down, fallen down
Like the rain comin' down
Oh the sound, that lonely sound

Hear the sound of my heartbeat
It beats so loud
Oh I can't stand it
Oh that sound
That lonely sound
That lonely sound..
That lonely sound..
And it grows louder
And louder..
And louder..
And louder..

Hear the sound of my mind
Thoughts of you all the time
Since you've gone
Left me alone
I'll just hear these sounds
From now on

Hear the sounds of loneliness
Hear the sounds all around
Since you've gone
And left me alone
I'll just hear these sounds
From now on

Hear the sounds of loneliness
Hear the sounds all around
Since you've gone
And left me alone...
I'll just hear the sounds
From now on...

This is a John Lennon song, that I have heard a thousand times.......but today when I listened to it, I thought of Ennis and Jack.......

Starting Over

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere

This is another oldie by Linda Ronstadt....

DIFFERENT DRUM

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Richard Hawley. This song reminds me of Jack and Ennis in the Motel. Richard Hawley's baritone puts me in mind of Ennis. If Ennis could sing.

Hi Malina!! I'm so glad to see you here! I've missed you. I think I'm finally done with IMDB. Sad.

Hotel Room

Ten thirty in this hotel room,
You and I locked in the gloom,
Lost out of love once again
But I've got you here with me friend

(Chorus)
Cos you're here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms

Last time I looked it was nine
You know that all things then were fine,
Now I've gone and lost it again
But I've got you here with me friend.

(Chorus)

(Solo)

You know that it's like leading a mild life
The clothes in my younger days were so wild
And it's time I met someone like you
And I hope to make certain that it's true

Last time I looked it was late
That's when I started to break
It's a long long way till the end
But I've got you here with me friend

Cos you're here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Put you here in my arms
Here in my arms.

Run, by Snow Patrol (but the version I preferred is covered by Leona Lewis) is a song I think fitting for Jack and Ennis.....

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Here is the link in case you want to listen....

I have just read and listen to the lyric once more, and it really is appropriate....what does everyone else think?

Wow JTwist!  Those lyrics are really lovely.  They absolutely feel like they have lots of relevance to Ennis and Jack. 

[JTwist]

They are arn't they. Did you listen to the song?

Run and Chasing Cars were one of the first songs posted on the first songs thread back in 2006 and they were posted several other times since then! It just goes to show how much this song FEELS like Jack and Ennis huh?
