What songs have touched your soul?

Puff the Magic Dragon was a song that I could relate to. It made me sad too.

Little Jackie and Puff have this friendship and then Jackie stops visiting Puff. It is how I felt about my sisters; when
we were small there were special times together and then as they grew up and didn't care about painted rings anymore;
and I wonder why growing up means life can't be magical anymore.

I remember my older sister teaching me the song, "Moon Shaddow". We sat on the lumpy double bed we shared as children and she'd sing, "And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry, Yes if I ever lose my eyes, I won't have to cry no
more." We both were abused by my dad; he was violent to us. We could relate to that song and not having to cry
anymore.

With my younger sister I would sing her the song, "Somewhere over the Rainbow" but I'd never get the words right and she'd call me on it. I'd sing, "Somewhere over the rainbow, feeling fine", and she'd laugh, "that's not how it goes!" My dad hurt her
too. One time he called her over to him when she was two and when she toddled over to him, he kicked her in the stomach and then took her picture when she was sobbing.

Music was and is therapy for me. Some say that music numbs hearts because it drowns out the world's cries for help. Music can do that but music can also help ease the pain of those who are crying.

Another song I like is called, " Right Before your Eyes":

"Every day I sit beside you on the bus to Madison Avenue
Work in a big grey store, with the revolving doors,
You don't even know my name,
I guess that I'm to blame,
Don't know the right things to say,
So I pretend away, that I''m

Rudolph Valentino,
Pull up in my Limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain,
And things will never be the same,
And then just like Greta Garbo, you'll stare like there's no tomorrow,
And you'll know what I'm thinking of,
And right before your eyes I'll fall in love with you."


What a romantic song. But honestly, one time I did tell someone I liked him and it wasn't like the song at all; '
I think he thought I was a nut cake.

But I am married now and have my pets.

I like this song by dennis Wilson.

A few years ago I heard a radio program about him and I really related to his life. His dad really picked on him and was very violent and he was kinda the scape goat for the family. He had real problems with personal relationships and because of his self hatred and pain he turned to drugs and drink and lost his wife and kids and had his beloved boat reposessed. He then died by drowning trying to collect the photos of his wife and kids that he had chucked off his boat in a temper.

I love this song as he recorded it straight after his best friend died and the pain is so strong in his voice. They played it at his funeral too and it just so resonates with my own feelings of pain.

This song is about death coming from a child's point of view. When Amy Lee was 6 years old, her sister Bonnie, who was 3 years old died. Amy was at school when she found out, hence the line "Playground school bell rings again, rain clouds come to play again." What she's saying in the song is what she felt when she found out, and since she was so young, she didn't fully understand the concept of death.

"A World Without Heroes" by Kiss definately touched my soul. I related to the chorus, "Well, you don't know what you're after/Or if something's after you". Sometimes I feel like I don't know what I want out of life.

"A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men puts tears in my eyes everytime I hear it. The same way they all sang about their mothers, I feel the same way about mine. She's a great person, and everytime I hear this song, I think about those in my family who take her for granted and don't appreciate the things she has done for us all, and wish that they would appreciate her like I do. I make sure to make it known that I definately appreciate her.

"What's Goin' On" by Marvin Gaye. This may seem cliched, but that song really touches my heart. Because I look at what's going on today, and I sincerely wonder to myself when we as a people will finally unite and stop judging one another, and then I start thinking about this song.

I dunno about touching my soul, but I have one that haunts me...stalks me about...I wish it would leave me alone.

A lot of songs have meaning for me but as my soul is pretty much smashed and bashed beyond recognition, although it is steadily repairing, no song has ever touched it, and no song had prior

i don't know if this counts, but sadness and sorrow from naruto is pretty sad.

Don't Laugh at Me by Mark Willis did it for me when the kids at my oldest son's school sang it for the Peace and Remembrance thing they had there. Not only dealt with Remembrance Day at that function but also looked at bullying in schools and all.

I can't realate to it or anything, but the first time I listened to it and watched the video it hit me really hard.

One song that I really related to when it first came out was Pain by Three Days Grace.

And two songs that touch me deeply because they always embodied the type of love I wanted to experience are These Arms and Beautiful As You both by All-4-One.

Other than that most of the songs that have deep meaning to me are associated with a memory or something of the like and I could go on and on about those...

The song "Leather and Lace" by Fleetwood Mac reminds me of my parents and the unconditional love they have for one another. I want to cry when I hear that song, because it makes me think of how wonderful they are and how much I'll miss them when they pass away.

"Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac reminds me specifically of my mom. It's one of her favorites, and the lyrics kind of relate to her life. Again, it makes me cry because it reminds me of how much I love her and how much she'll be missed when she passes away.

The song "Dearest" by Ayumi Hamasaki reminds me of my former best friend. The lyrics are reminiscent of the very end of our friendship.

"You Are Mine" by David Haas makes me bawl every time I hear it, because it evokes very strong, comforting spiritual feelings inside of me. It reminds me of how much Jesus cares about me. It's almost as if He were speaking to me directly through the song. It's amazing.

The songs "Me and My Imaginary Friends" by Colin Hay and "Vampires Are Alive" by DJ Bobo remind me of my imaginary friends. It makes me happy to listen to these songs.

I don't know who makes this song, but whoever does, it just makes me really happy. It always cheers me up whenever I'm listening to it. The song itself is called "Shine" and it's on the Visit Florida commercials a lot. Not only do I really, really want to go to Florida, but I also do really like this song, even if it is totally out of my music genre.

And who could ever forget "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas? This song has touched me and about everyone else I know of that's heard it.
