universal experience

I'm providing my own, personal master list of painful music, which lists those songs with which I masochistically bombard myself when I'm feeling lonely or sad.On My Own", from Les Miserables -
The classic unrequited love song. I first listened to this song when I was a senior in high school and was, at the time, lost in the quagmire of what was my first experience that I can legitimately call "love". Every line was a stab to my heart, perfectly reflecting my own situation. Its accuracy was startling for me then, and remains so even now.
 "Feels Like Home", from Randy Newman's Faust -
This is obviously just a statement of my own personal opinion, but... BEST LOVE SONG EVER. This is a relatively plain, straightforward piece; lyrically simple, very light orchestration. Just two verses with a chorus after each. There's not even a bridge. But it's breathtaking. I'm so passionate about this song
.When She Loved Me", Sarah McLachlan (by Randy Newman) -
This is from the Toy Story 2 soundtrack, and in the movie it's about companionship, not a romance. But it's still an excrutiating tearjerker about not feeling loved.
"Losing My Religion", REM -
I'm not actually all that sure that this is about unrequited love, but it's always felt that way to me. Maybe lost love, or the process of losing it, would be closer... it's clearly love and pain, though, which is what makes it wallow-worthy
Ghost", Indigo Girls -
"The Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota at a place where you can walk across with five steps down. And I guess that's how you started, like a pinprick to my heart, and at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown." Ouch. Emily Saliers really has a way with words
Romeo and Juliet", Indigo Girls (by Mark Knopfler) -
I like the lyrics to this song -- it's actually a Dire Straits song that the Girls covered -- but I've got to say it's Amy Ray's impassioned performance which has led me to love it so dearly..
Collecting You", Indigo Girls -
Another of Emily's songs..Also, she bemoans her "hairtrigger love and faulty spring". I think just about everyone, at some point, has fallen victim to their own over-eagerness to love.

the burden of love


I only want to share the burdens of being in love with the wrong person. Some may find this very common but it's really true that it happened to me.It just came that we know that were having a mutual understanding of our feelings but neither of us dares to admit it.

At that time, the pain in my heart was unbearable. I keep on asking myself, why is the person you love most the one who will hurt you the most too? Days passed by and although I still love him that much and I know he loves me too, I decided to forget him. But it was really hard to forget.

 wish I met you at the Right time and right place. No matter how much I wish though, my wish will never be granted. As you see, I fell in love at the wrong time and wrong place.

"If anyone here for any reason believe this man and woman should not be united, stand up or forever hold your peace."

wrong

wrong
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong Wrong

There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
The wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong eyes on the wrong prize The wrong questions with the wrong replies

Wrong
