So I've never really been big on posting songs. Perhaps because I never got the point of it before. But I do enjoy how much I can relate to this song from time to time. I find it to be one of the happiest sad songs I've ever heard and if you've heard this song (which odds are you have) then you know what I mean. And I wouldn't call it sad because to me, this song is about dealing with what life hands you and rolling with the punches and making the best out of a potentially bad situation. Anyways this isn't meant as a whiny little note, it's just meant to make one's self think which this song does a great job of doing. So if you aren't busy give it a read and then if you haven't heard it look it up on youtube I'm sure you can find it there.
Audioslave-Doesn't Remind me
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
(Chorus)
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
(Chorus)
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need
Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So discretely
We won't look back
(Chorus)
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need
I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything
