Post a youtube song that means something to you,
Butterfly by Weezer (pinkerton)
I couldnt find weezer singing it so here's the next best thing
(this is some girl covering the song..she does an amazing job give it a listen)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFK3PuZH3-w&search=butterfly%20weezer

Yesterday i went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away.

Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away.

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

10. love the counting crows
great lyrics to that song

"She comes out of closets every night
But then she locks herself away
Where she could keep everything from me
I could have been anyone you see
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin

American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible"

"Round Here" is another great song by them
thank you for sharing

And I hope the heat wasn't to bad :)

16. Alice in Chains- Junkhead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvAmj9C5iTE

SONG: Junkhead (5:09)
(Cantrell/Staley)
---------------
"Junk, fuck"
A good night, the best in a long time
A new friend turned me on to an old favorite
Nothing better than a dealer who's high
Be high, convince them to buy

What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot

Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm
Running their boring drills
But we are an elite race of our own
The stoners, junkies, and freaks

Are you happy? I am, man.
Content and fully aware
Money, status, nothing to me
'Cause your life is empty and bare

What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot
I do it a lot, yeah

You can't understand a user's mind
But try, with your books and degrees
If you let yourself go and opened your mind
I'll bet you'd be doing like me
And it ain't so bad

What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot
Say, I do it a lot!
I do it a lot!
I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!

22. "Wildflower" by Skylark
The video is...well...early 70's. I love the song and feel as though I live it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVvgLh9pGSo


WILDFLOWER - Skylark


She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
And many times her eyes fought back the tears.
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears,
and her sorrow no one hears, still rings in midnight silence,
in her ears...

Let her cry, for she's a Lady
Let her dream, for she's a Child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.

And if by chance, I should hold her,
Let me hold her for a time;
But if allowed just one possession,
I would pick her from the garden, to be mine.

Be careful how you touch her, for she will waken;
and sleep's the only freedom that she knows.
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe;
The way she's always payin' for a debt she never owed,
and the silent wind still blows, that only she can hear,
And so, she goes.

Let her cry, for she's a Lady
Let her dream, for she's a Child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.

24. Bobby Darin and Stevie Wonder duet - "If I Were a Carpenter"
Edited on Tue Aug-01-06 10:43 PM by FredScuttle
This is the beauty of YouTube...three minutes of a show aired two years before I was born featuring a performer who died before I could speak, singing a song I always thought was the cheesiest folk song ever written. You could throw a pebble in the ocean and have better luck finding it than the odds I would ever see this performance.

And it's fucking beautiful.

CHAIYYA CHAIYYA
Chorus:
He whose head is in the shadow of love
will have heaven beneath his feet.
Whose head is in the shadow of love...
Walk in the shadow.
Walk in heaven, walk in the shadow.

There's a friend who is like a sweet fragrance,
whose words are like poetry
who is my evening, my night, my existence.
That friend is my beloved!

Chorus

Sometimes (my beloved) flirts like a flower,
so fragrantly that you may see her scent.
Having made it into an charm, I will wear it.
She shall be obtained as a miracle is obtained.
She is my song, my declaration of faith
(My friend is like a priest to me.)
My song... my declaration of faith...
She moves like the dew.
She walks with the garden of heaven beneath her feet,
sometimes through the branches, sometimes amidst the leaves.
I shall search the wind for her trail!

Chorus

I trade in her beauty.
Fickle, she flits shamelessly from sun to shade.
She changes her bright colors;
I negotiate that as well.

Chorus

29. I cried listening to this...
Because at this moment in the CD, it hit me: "Oh crap, I'm in love again."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjVfLtrB5PU

...Turned out well though. :D

And this just because it made me smile earlier today:
