Songs that remind you of Mr Emerson

woot! This would be Juliet's song to Ben

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE LYRICS




"I Don't Love You"




Well, when you go

Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay

And maybe when you get back

I'll be off to find another way




And after all this time that you still owe

You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know

So take your gloves and get out

Better get out

While you can




When you go

Would you even turn to say

"I don't love you

Like I did

Yesterday"




Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading

So sick and tired of all the needless beating

But baby when they knock you

Down and out

It's where you oughta stay




And after all the blood that you still owe

Another dollar's just another blow

So fix your eyes and get up

Better get up

While you can

Whoa, whooa




When you go

Would you even turn to say

"I don't love you

Like I did

Yesterday"




Well come on, come on




When you go

Would you have the guts to say

"I don't love you

Like I loved you

Yesterday"




I don't love you

Like I loved you

Yesterday




I don't love you

Like I loved you

Yesterday

This song has been reminding me of Ben speaking to Juliet for a long time now.


"If Everyone Cared" Nickleback

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

[Chorus]

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died



I think it would make a fantastic song to put to a Ben vid. Lotta moments that would fit perfectly with all the "Amen I'm alive" lines.

And for the fangirl side of things:



from "It's Good to be in Love," Imogen Heap

It's good to be in love
It really does suit you
Just like everything
I'm happy you're in love
'Cause every color goes where you do

I'm adoring you
It's all good
You're so beautiful
I'm black and blue all over
You're breaking my flow
How could you know what I'm saying about it


And if you want to get a bit more extreme:


I feel so powerless
I've got to stop it somehow
Oh come on what can I do?
Why's it happening
How's it happening without me
Why's it happening
How's it happening that he feels it without me



Ah, the trials of fangirling ;D

savin' me - Nickelback

"Listen to Your Heart" by D.H.T. featuring Edmee

The lyrics are beautiful, some that stood out:

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been (when I hear this I think Ben instead of been)when love was wilder than the wind.

This is probably the most obvious song choice in history and I didn't get it until I saw this Youtube Ben video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiOnlreq7ho It's set to a very very young, pre insane Michael Jackson song called "Ben" from the original movie "Willard"

BEN (Michael Jackson)

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

"Umbrella", by Dntel

It's not because of the lyrics (for a non-english speaker like me, lyrics are much more secondary most of the times). It's because, when I started to discover Michael Emerson, I also started to discover Dntel.

And now, when I listen to those songs, I remember those times. Not just Michael Emerson: this board, christmas, and many other things that happened on that time. For me, some songs are really evoking.

It's a beautiful song anyways, so listen to it if you have the chance.

For me it has to be Unbreak My Heart but the Italian version by Il Divo
