Now I know everybody on NS tries to act all hard and shit and play everything off, but deep down we are not all assholes(well maybe some of us).

So NS, what lyrics are out there that just give you the chills in a good way?

I start:

Artist: The Avett Brothers

Song: The Weight Of Lies

"The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town

Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from

Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere"

GO!
 
Op's song is a good one just listened to it like 3 days ago and i felt the same way, ill post one up as soon as my brain starts to work.
 
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sickToo much pressure and I'm nervous,That's when the taxi man turned on the radioand a Jay Z song was onand the Jay Z song was onand the Jay Z song was onSo I put my hands upThey're playing my song,And the butterflys fly awayNoddin' my head like yeahMoving my hips like yeah,And I got my hands up,They're playin my songI know I'm gonna be okYeah, It's a party in the USAYeah, It's a party in the USAIt's like she's painting a beautiful picture with words...gets me everytime
 
Bright eyes is the shit.

Favorite song: Lets not shit ourselves

Well, the animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness.

A baby cries hard in an apartment complex,

as I pass in a car buried under the influence.

The city's driving me out of my mind.
 
fine I'll be productive instead of a sarcastic ass..
O.A.R. - Patiently...really good song if you've had a friend that passed away too soon...it gives me chills every time I listen to it
Patiently,
You slipped away from me.
It's not alright
you couldn't put up no fight.
But patiently,
the well ran dry.
You needed more water,
you needed more.
But patiently,
you slipped away from me.
Oh, God I want you back.
Oh, God I miss you my friend,
oh so patiently
I will never forget it,
as long as I live,
the feel that went through the bar,
you're not there.
Pick up the phone,
they told me you were gone.
I wish I wish I was dreaming,
but im wide awake.
When we got to her house,
everybody was there.
Amazes me how you can bring us all together.
Patience, you leave me here.
How can you expect me to thrive?
Patiently, oh I wait fot you.
There's not life unless you're alive.
This patience, this patience, this patience
is silence.
This patience, this silence, oh this silence.
We love you our friend, wait so patiently.

i gotta say, i can't STAND bright eyes. I love indie music to death, quiet, acoustic, girlie stuff, but since listening to his talking part at the beginning of at the bottom of everything i can't listen to bright eyes at all.
atm, the line that's really getting to me for some reason isn't a lyric but was a makes me think:how do you know when you love someone? when you lose them.
i've never loved and i've never really lost, but for some reason that line sticks to me. i guess i could link it to what sarah said, there's a lyric if you know it.

 
BUMP...
Hip hop- dead prez
Uh, who shot Biggie Smalls
If we don't get them
They gonna get us all
I'm down for runnin' up on them
Crackers in they city hall
We ride for y'all
All my dogs stay real
Nigga don't think these record deals
Gonna feed your seeds
And pay your bills because they not
MC's get a little bit of love and think they hot
Talkin' 'bout how much money they got
Nigga all y'all records sound the same
I sick of that fake thug, R & B
Rap scenario all day on the radio
Same scenes in the video, monotonous material
Y'all don't here me though
These record labels slang our tapes like dope
You can be next in line, and signed
And still be writing rhymes and broke
You would rather have a Lexus or justice
A dream or some substance
A Beamer, a necklace or freedom
Still a nigga like me don't playa' hate
I just stay awake
This real hip-hop, and it don't stop
'Til we get the po-po off the block
They call it
 
"Piano Man"

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sitting next to me

Making love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son can you play me a memory

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet

And I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes"

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feeling alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"

As a smile ran away from his face

"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place"

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy

And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinking alone

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

And the manager gives me a smile

'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see

To forget about life for a while

And the piano sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say "Man what are you doing here?"

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feeling alright

 
---

But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands

And see the world hanging upside down

You can understand dependence

When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call

And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be

---

+K for the first person to recognize it.
 
I'll be there for you when the sky falls down

I'll be there for you when no one's around

I'll be there for you when there's no way out and you're down

and you frown

I know life won't go your way

and you never know what to say

when you have nothing left

I'll still love you more

I'll be there for you through your deepest fears

I'll be there for you 'till the smoke clears

I'll be there for you when you see no end and your friends

are all gone

I know life won't go your way

and you never know what to say

when you have nothing left

I'll still love you more

You could turn your back or run a thousand miles away

I'll be waiting for you with nothing left to say but

I'll be there for you when nothing can go wrong

I'll be there for you when you sing a joyful song

I'll be there for you when your smile lights the room

and your gloom is all gone

I know life won't go your way

and you never know what to say

when you have nothing left

I'll still love you more

There's a Nike commercial for Football that plays this. I can't watch it, it's too sad.
