Resistance - Muse

Artist: Muse
Song: Resistance
Year: 2009
Album: The Resistance

A song that I interpret as conquering those trying to keep love apart.



Lyrics:
Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?

Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be...)

Love is our resistance
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed

If we live our life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again

Quell your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be...)

Love is our resistance!
They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed

The night has reached its end
We can't pretend
We must run
We must run
It's time to run

Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Resistance!

Sanctuary - J Geils Band

Artist: J. Geils Band
Song: Sanctuary
Year: 1978
Album: Sanctuary

Rest in peace, Allan Stagg. I always tried to catch his radio show, Sanctuary. This was the theme song to that show.

Lyrics:
Times are tough -- frustration
Need relief -- medication
Gone too far -- intoxication
Fight the urge -- temptation
Miles ago -- no destination
Is it real -- hallucination
Lose the dream -- stagnation
You feel so lost -- desperation

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary

It's much too close -- contamination
Love and pain -- deviation
Just suck it up -- ejaculation
It's much too late -- damnation

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary

When I was young, my mother told me
She said, "Son, someday everything's gonne be all right"

There's no escape -- there's no salvation

It's much too dark for revelation

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary...

Falling Away From Me - Korn

Artist: Korn
Song: Falling Away From Me
Year: 1999
Album: Issues

I went to see Korn at the Congress Theater in Chicago, Illinois on February 24, 2012. This is video from that performance. I am somewhere in the crowd to the right and more towards the front of the person who took this video. The mosh pit formed next to where I was standing, to my right. Good times!

Lyrics:
Hey, I'm feelin' tired
My time is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's okay
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

The day is here, fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can always say
It's gonna be better tomorrow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground

Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
It's lost and can't be found
Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
Throw it down

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground

Twisting me
Then walk away
So I pray
Go away

Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
Fuck!

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Falling away from me
Beating me beating me
Falling away from me
Down, down
Into the ground
Falling away from me
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Falling away from me
Down, down
Into the ground

Didn't We Almost Have It All - Whitney Houston

Artist: Whitney Houston
Song: Didn't We Almost Have It All
Year: 1987
Album: Whitney

Loved listening to Whitney back in the 80s. After the 80s... not so much.

Lyrics:
Remember when we held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again we can take the night
Into tomorrow living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living

Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

The way you used to touch me felt so fine
You kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living

Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

Didn't we have the best of times
When love was young and new
Couldn't we reach inside and find
Find love of me and you, we'll never lose it again
Because once you know what love is
You'll never let it end

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living

Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

Didn't we almost have it all
