Wow... So many of these songs I can relate to, and have heard... :^.^:
Of all the songs that you guys have listed, I've heard these songs, but haven't been as deeply touched by them as some other ones I'll post the names of:
Evanescence - Fields of Innocence
Evanescence - Going Under *I have rocked out to this song a LOT, but don't apply it to myself unless I'm in a critical situation* *LOL, made a YouTube LBT fanvideo with this song, but didn't know DarkHououmon made one too* *LOL, this song was in the video game "Enter the Matrix," so I also associate it with the Matrix, and computer hacking now, 'cause there a "Hacking" option for save game files; mostly an elaborate cheat device, though, except there are unlockables, and you can drop weapons in levels with it*
Linkin Park - Numb
U2 - Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Elton John - Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me
Tim McGraw - Don't Take the Girl
Don McLean - American Pie
Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams *I've felt it sometimes, but, I don't wanna live that way; I have a lot of hope, especially in these days, despite all the craziness*
MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine *I like this song, but it just doesn't seem to ring the "touch me deeply" bell that other songs do*
Sarah McLachlan - Angel *I thnk that's how you spell her name, and actually, I'm pretty sure that some people get the title wrong, too, oh well* *LOL*
Concrete Angel *I was kinda touched by this, don't get me wrong, but, it just... I can't think long about Judith Barsi; otherwise, it will consume like, a lot of my day*
Okay, of all those songs, there are three that you guys have listed, that deeply touch me...:
3 Doors Down - Here Without You
Diana Ross - If We Hold On Together :^.^: *cannot describe the feelings.....*
Quest for Camelot - The Prayer *Oh my god! :cry2 *sniff* I never knew this song by name...
But, I remember it now...* *blesses Yahweh*
Ah, and now, for a few that really touch me... :^.^:
John Elefante and Lisa Bevill - I Will Follow You (though, that should actually be "We Will Follow You," as it is a duet): There's no lyrics sheet here, folks; I'm gonna have to type them out from memory... I spent a YEAR even trying to find out what album this song was once released on, it is THAT rare!
I absolutely bawled like a baby when I heard it for the first time, in over ten years...
Out on the restless ocean
Through storms of endless motion
Your winds whisper, calling me
I know it's You I hear
Make my direction clear
And lead me safely home to You
'Cause there, beneath Your wing
There is a covering
That shelters us and keeps from harm's way
So hold us and restore
As You carry us ashore
Together
Chorus:
And will will follow You
Knowing You'll lead us through
From darkness to Your everlasting light
And we will never walk alone
As long as the path is not our own
And like a shadow, behind You, we'll be
And the way will be clear as long as we
Follow You
(Ooh, follow You)
And in this darkened dwelling
Your light is so compelling
It draws me closer to Your flame
And in that warming fire
Your will is my desire
A bright reflection of You name
And there, beneath You wing
There is a covering
That shelters us and keeps us on our way, yeah
It's there we're safe and warm
Where we are sheltered from the storm
Forever
(Oh yeah)
*Chorus; end goes into a keychange; Chorus repeats again in higher key*
Oh my god, it is... So, beautiful!
:cry2 After all that time, I had forgotten it... But, Yahweh, praise You! I found it! :^.^:
Fortunately, by the mercy of Yah, I have found a link, to a video that someone made with this song:
VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci0xWtw765o Oh, and, this is another song that has touched my heart, in recent times... ...A friend is leaving for a while - they are active on this board - and I will not see them for a while, so, I thought of the song, Auld Lang Syne... I'll just point you to a Wikipedia link; this one seems to be reliable, heh.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne If I should think of any more that touch me as deeply as this one, I'll definitely post them later!
Enjoy, people... :^.^:
