[isabelle_guns]

I realize that it is a morbid top 5 today but the inspiration came from fencolina.

1. Sometimes you can't make it on your own.
2. one
3. stay far away so close
4. staring at the sun

 

[msmarylynne]

Pride
One
Still Havent found What Im looking for

 

[RickFly]

one
kite
walk on
sometimes you cant make it on your own
one tree hill

 

[80sU2isBest]

1. Just a Closer Walk With Thee - sung by Cliff Richard


2. How Can I keep From Singing - Enya

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile
Our thoughts to them are winging,
When friends by shame are undefiled
How can I keep from singing?

** Ecstasy of Gold - MetallicA (great opening huh?? )
** Nothing else Matters - MetallicA

SO weird.... was just listening to MDH CD literally 15 minutes ago and was thinking how perfect it would be to play "Ground Beneath Her Feet" at my funeral/memorial. (Do they call it a funeral if you get cremated?)

Off the top of my head, I also want Kite (only parts) and Stay played as well. Preferably by the boys themselves
