What's your favorite line or lyric?

[Rebecca8]

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

[Fran]

"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and whither thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me."

Probably my favourite Biblical quote, spoken by Ruth to Naomi, her mother-in-law.

[Lovely_Ink]

"You and I both know you don't want to be out her this late stomping up and down the street like somebody done stole your f*cking bike". Quote from Love Jones. I don't know why but this line makes me laugh every time.... probably because I'm the stubborn one who would have someone say this to me.

[Timea]

"She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet"

"I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me"

"(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost you have found"

These are some of my favorite lyrics, they are from "Surrender" by Billy Talent

[laureng]

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep, who knows how long will this last- Take That "Wooden Boat"

[anomalocaris]

"Just do the steps that you've been shown
by everyone you've ever known,
until the dance becomes your very own.
But no matter how close to yours
another's steps have come,
in the end there is one dance
you'll do alone."
-- Jackson Browne, For a Dancer


Also this commentary also from Jackson Browne, about the moment the innocence of the 60's gave way to the horrors of the Vietnam war: I don't think anyone's ever captured it more completely. I'm also not so sure that it's not relevant to today.


Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
who were making plans and thinking of the future.
With the energy of the innocent
they were gathering the tools
they would need to make their journey back to nature.
While the sand slipped through the opening,
and their hands reached for the golden ring,
with their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge.

Some of them knew pleasure.
Some of them knew pain,
and for some of them it was only the moment that mattered.
On the brave and crazy wings of youth
they went flying around in the rain
until their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered.
In the end they traded their tired wings
for the resignation that living brings,
and exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
for the glitter and the rouge,
and in a moment they were swept before the deluge.

@anomalocaris
I love Before the Deluge - thank you for the reminder

[Timea]

"You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you"

One more to throw in, from Dougie Maclean: "I cry a silent lonely tear for those who need to love me." How profound is that?

One of my favorite lines is I will always love you by Whitney Houston.

"Who you are is not what you've been, you're still an innocent" -Taylor Swift (Innocent)

I just feel a lot of us are unforgiving, and this song displays forgiveness.
It's sincere, a little deep, and makes feel a little sad-happy inside.

This is a really good line.
