Song lyrics

[gwynraven]

I collect depressing songs. It's a hobby. And I'm looking for more. But I'm also curious - do you know any songs where the lyrics *really* get to you? A specific point in the song where your heart just breaks for the speaker? If so, I want to know what song, and what lyrics

Most recently, I was dumbstruck by the song used at the ending of the Narnia 2 movie, Prince Caspian. The song being sung in the final scene and into the beginning of the credits.

"The Call" by Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back, when you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back, when they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back, when they call you
No need to say goodbye

Wow. That is amazing.

It is. Every time that scene comes up, I get a catch in my throat. It works on so many levels when I stopped to think about it - not just it's applicability to the movie itself.
