Excellent song ADHDSupport!

I really enjoyed that song for the first time today!!! Thank you!

I can hardly believe that I missed every one of those ADD-related lyrics when listening to that song over the years, and it was the very 1st song on the CD too! LOL

Generally, I tend to be more focused on the song/music structure whenever I listen to music. In fact, when I play, and sing at the same time, the hardest part for me always was remembering the dang lyrics. I've never had a problem hitting the correct notes vocally, or playing the correct chords/notes on guitar, bass, or keyboards. For some reason, remembering the lyrics (when playing an instrument) was always the biggest challenge for me! Even when they were my own lyrics too!!! LOL

I think it might have something to do with my dsylexia, or perhaps the ADD, or maybe even both! I don't really know! I always had to make sure that I had the lyrics to all the songs we were going to play in front of me. Otherwise I'd forget the lyrics in the middle of the song and would have to make up some words.
Also, sometimes if I wasn't careful, if I was looking at someone who was singing (lip singing) while we were playing a song, if they would suddenly (incorrectly) start singing the wrong words, that would also mess me up!! LOL However, I discovered that generally you could almost always count on the female's knowing the correct lyrics, better than the male's, and just by watching there lips, I could remember the lyrics easier whenever I was playing and singing at the same time!

Dang it!!! I've gotten side tracked again from what I really wanted to write.

What I really wanted to write about was...
I understand that just "reading" the lyrics on a page isn't the same as actually "hearing" the song, so I'm going to try and find most of the songs people post in this thread, and then make a "ADD CD" I can listen to. I think that will be a lot of fun!
Hopefully, people post more tunes!!!
Anyway, thank you once again for posting. I really enjoyed the tune!



Peace,

Thank you for posting the lyrics to the song "These Words"!

Truthfully, you really stumped me with Natasha Bedingfield!! I hadn't heard a single song by her yet! Fortunately, with just a quick search of the net, in hardly any time at all, it was like, *~Poof~*, (Well wadda ya know?) and I found myself on her Webpage listening to the song, "These Words"!

I was pleasantly surprised, not only by how pretty she is, but also by the quality of her voice, and her talent as a songwriter as well! She's definitely storming the gates of pop music heaven, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were better things yet to come with each consecutive CD she releases!

B.T.W. I also liked the song; "I bruise easily" which I also listened to on her Webpage! I wouldn't be surprised if "I bruise easily" also appealed to some of the ADDer crowd too! Simply because Natasha's lyrics appear to come from a more personal and much deeper area of the thought than the lyrics of many of her peers in this specific genre of music! Which is exactly why I found it to be a breath of fresh air. However, I tend to be a little on the eccentric side whenever it comes to the music that I enjoy! I like different, and anything musically different is a good thing in my eyes!

However, being a musician, as well as, having ADD, obviously allowed me to relate to the lyrics in "These Words" much easier, so therefore I enjoyed it the most! It's actually a nice, up beat, funky little dance tune, that may help mix things up music-wise, and create a more diverse and entertaining CD compilation of all the ADD-related music I'm still hoping our members will post in this thread! Well, hopefully I get around to making a CD compilation some time! I've finally learned it's better not to promise anything if you have ADD!! LOL
Well, before my post gets any longer, I better call it quits!!! LOL

Thank you once again for the tune xstarchildx!
Sincerely,

Ok, here is another song I really like!

---------------------------------------
Song: "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot".
Artist: Sting.
---------------------------------------

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
He'll guide you well.

When you're down and they're counting.
When your secrets all found out.
When your troubles take to mounting.
When the map you have leads you to doubt.
When there's no information.
And the compass turns.
To nowhere that you know well.

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
He'll guide you well.

When the doctors failed to heal you.
When no medicine chest can make you well.
When no counsel leads to comfort.
When there are no more lies they can tell.
No more useless information.
And the compass spins.
The compass spins.
Between heaven and hell.

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
He'll guide you well.

And your eyes turn towards the window pane.
To the lights upon the hill.
The distance seems so strange to you now.
And the dark room seems so still.

Let your pain be my sorrow.
Let your tears be my tears too.
Let your courage be my model.
That the north you find will be true.
When there's no information.
And the compass turns.
To nowhere that you know well.

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
Let your soul guide you.
Let your soul guide you.
Upon your way...

-----------------------------------

I love that tune!



Peace,

"Locomotive Breath"

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all-time loser,
Headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
Steam breaking on his brow --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
In bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
Catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideon's Bible --
Open at page one --
God stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.

"My Back Pages"

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Half-cracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, thought, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.


Now this one suits me better in light of being an adult DX ADD.

Tons eh? Kewl! Post away then!!! I've been holding back waiting for others to start posting! Please post as many as you can think of! I really enjoy it!

Oh, But, dont' forget to post who the artist are! K??

Thanks again,

*~ §EEK ~*.

[Crazy~Feet]

LOL! I already have a thread dedicated to this in the Journaling forum, please pop in and feel free to PM me . Yes, tons, literally, I do this constantly.

The above belongs to Bob Dylan, but I prefer the version done by The Byrds, Dave Crosby's guitar is impossible to beat on this song.

Bouncing off The Walls by Sugarcult

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
Waking up on the bathroom floor
Pull myself back together just to fall once more

And my heart's beating out of my chest
And this town is still making me sick
And every penny from my last paycheck
I've blown it on you

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
So go ahead and take a picture
And hang it up so you can tear me down

I don't care
Cause I'm still here
And I've got nothing left to lose
With all the years I wasted on you

Momma and Daddy's got the best cocaine
Ritalin's never gonna feel the same
Twenty-four hours on an empty brain
I got my finger on the trigger and your in my way

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again
And I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again
And I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again

[DimensionX]

probably .45 by the shine, i believe that it comes under the depression category.

it's sung really well, the guy has a great voice, it's quite a unique sounding song as well, i don't think i've heard many that come close to it.

i'ld recommend it to anyone

[Crazy~Feet]

Oddly enough, I often find songs from console video games suiting my mood as well. How ADD is that?

Nothing's Changed

by, The Calling It was a day just like this
In a life of our times
Shrugging signs there's no chance for us
It's not mine to decide
You never listened to what I said
you never thought I'd succeed
And though I've given you all I can
You show no faith in me
And I remember, and I recall
And I can see that nothing's changed at all
Though we falter, we don't have to fall
And I can see that nothing's changed at all
Even when I was you
And the pressure was on
You always told me to do my thing
So what the hell went wrong
An outcast coming home, opinions stay the same
They'll spit them out and spin me right back through the door
The louder that we scream, the more invisible we seem
Is it gonna last forever
Now I'm learning the lies
From the skies where they reign
Can't find shelter for myself
And you're all to blame

[*~ §EEK ~*]

Very cool tunes my friends!! Now you all are really rockin'! I'm happier than a two tailed puppy! I thought this song would be a fitting tribute to this thread!!

-------------------------
Song: "Hold On"
Artist: Triumph
-------------------------

Music holds the secret,
To know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes,
It's the sound inside your soul
The magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head
Like a dream
Like a dream
Like a dream

I sing this song for the common man
For the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
And I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
For everyone to share
So hold on, and I will take you there
Hold on and I will take you there.

The daily routine takes your soul,
Lost without a trace
It holds you down and turns you 'round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar
Another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself
In the endless race.

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams.

Can't you feel the magic
Feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music
There's something in the air
There's a celebration
Deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling,
You know it can't be wrong.

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams.

Caught up in routine,
You got to break it
Time won't wait for us,
We got to make it
Fate gives you the chance
You've got to take it
Take it...

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on...

------------------------------

Hold on to your dreams my ADD friends!!!

Peace,
