Euer liebster Song-Anfang

[n.a.]

ich hätte da noch:
muse: time is running out

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiating
I wanna break the spell
that you've created
mit der musik dazu am anfang, klasse

goo goo dolls: iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

train: drops of jupiter

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey

[Kathi1301]

mir sind heute noch ein paar eingefallen


Ani DiFranco - you had time

how can i go home
with nothing to say
i know you're going to look at me that way
and say what did you do out there
and what did you decide
you said you needed time
and you had time


Ani DiFranco - the diner

i'm calling from the diner
the diner on the corner
i ordered two coffees
one is for you
i was hoping you'd join me
'cause i ain't go no money
and i really miss you
i should mention that too

yes i know what time it is
in fact, i just checked
i even know the date
and the month
and the year
i know i haven't been sleeping
and when i do
i just dream of you
dear

i miss watching you
drool on your pillow
i miss watching you
pull on your clothes
i miss listening
to you in the bathroom
flushing the toilet
blowing your nose


Ani DiFranco - the whole night

we can touch
touch our girl cheeks
and we can hold hands
like paper dolls
we can try
try each other on
in the privacy
within new york city's walls
we can kiss
kiss goodnight
and we can go home wondering
what would it be like if
if i did not have a boyfriend
we could spend
the whole night


Ani DiFranco - what if no one's watching

if my life were a movie
there would be a sunset
and the camera would pan away
but the sky is just a little sister
tagging along behind the buildings
trying to imitate their gray
the little boys are breaking bottles
against the sidewalk
the big boys, too
the girls are hanging out at the candy store
pumping quarters into the phone
'cause they don't want to go home

and i think,
what if no one's watching
what it when we're dead, we are just dead
what if it's just us down here
what if god ain't looking down
what if he's looking up instead


Ani DiFranco - imagine that


imagine that i am onstage
under a watchtower of punishing light
and in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
and what's beyond you is hidden from sight
and somebody right now is yawning
and watching me like a tv
and i've been frantically piling up sandbags
against the flood waters of fatigue and insecurity


Ani DiFranco - bliss like this

i said venice
you heard vegas
now i say either way
baby let's go
i get so shaky
and i just can't shake it
i bliss like this
i'm one of those

but i don't wanna wear you
wear you like a band-aid
wave you like a ticket
out of my good grief
i just wanna know you
know you like i know my garden
what you smell like when you're bloomin
what lives underneath
deep down underneath
way down underneath

[Blanca21]

Ich mag Macy Gray mit I try:

Games,changes and fears
when will they go from here
when will they stop
I believe that faith has brought us here
and we should be together babe,
but we're not.

[Hello_Kitty_1286]

Also zur Zeit finde ich "Sunday morning" von Maroon 5 superschön.

Vor allem der ruhige Anfang: sunday morning, rain is falling..." hat es mir angetan*träum*

[kittycat06]

bei mir ist das:

cascada - Everytime we touch

I still hear you voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive

sugababes - too lost in you

You look into my eyes
I go out of my mind
I can't see anything
Cos this love's got me blind
I can't help myself
I can't break the spell
I can't even try

[Lin@]

Hui... schwierig. Da gibt's viele. Ist halt auch die Frage, ob es hier um den besten Song-Anfang textlich oder musikalisch gesehen geht. Oder beides?

Na ja, hier mal ein Bruchteil von meinen Favoriten:

Adam Green - Jessica
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone, its not in your music, no.

Bright Eyes - Theme To Piñata
Well I wish I had a parachute
Cause I'm falling bad for you...

Interpol - Evil
Rosemary... (Gänsehaut!)

Damien Rice - Cheers Darlin'
Cheers Darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy

Damien Rice - Accidental Babies
Well I held you like a lover
Happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place

Damien Rice - Woman Like a Man
I need a piss
Wanna hate
Fuck it up
Come
My love
Eat your meat
Keep your teeth
Run

Le Tigre - Deceptacon
Who took the bomb?

The Dresden Dolls - Half Jack
half underwater
i'm half my mother's daughter
a fraction's left up to dispute

Massive Attack
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word...

Xavier Naidoo - Kleines Lied
Angst hat keine Freunde,
trotzdem kennt man sie gut
denn sie macht sich lieber Feinde
und sie frisst am liebsten Mut
Keiner kann sie leiden
doch sie hat jeden gern...

K-OS - Crucial
This is an emergency

Tanita Tikaram - Twist in my sobriety
All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear

Swearing at Motorists - Timing is Everything
a double bed in a single room
couple chairs and a dining room table
and the radio plays that otis tune
and i've been loving you for too long baby
but don't believe it's true
'cause i could never love you
...
for too long

Ewan McGregor et al - El Tango de Roxanne
(da kann auch The Police nicht mithalten )

[ZoeP]

17. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love

“I'll protect you from the hooded claw, keep the vampires from your door.”

Naja, das stimmt so aber nicht. Fängt der Song nicht an mit:
"a-yayaya - feels like fire - I'm so in love with you..." ?

Kann mich auch irren, aber die oben genannte Zeile kommt auf JEDEN Fall erst später Ist mir nur so aufgefallen.
Ansonsten - ich LIEBE Songs mit tiefgründigem text. Kennt einer von euch Ana nalick? Ist in den USA recht bekannt.

Ana Nalick - 2 am
2 am and she calls me cause I'm still awake: "Can you help me unravel my latest mistake, I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season."

Ana Nalick - in the rough
You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands. "It's your fault for running holding diamons", I said.

Ana Nalick - Paper Bag
She don't run from the sun no more - he boxed her shadow and she won.

SAVING JANE
Girl Next Door


Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her


Celine Dion
Because you loved me


For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
Celine For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
Dion For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you


SIMPLE PLAN
Welcome To My Life


Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

[Klue]

der beste anfang ist vom lied fado to black von metallica.

[Rose90]

uiuiui...da gibts viele...

da wär mal

Annie Lennox - Into the West
Lay down
Your sweat and weary head
Night is falling
you have come to journey's end
sleep now
and dream of the one's who came before
they are calling
from across the distance shore

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (--> ich liebe es!)
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he's dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away
Mama ooo
Didnt mean to make you cry
If Im not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters

und nochmal
Queen- We are the Champions
I've paid my dues
Time after time
Ive done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
Ive made a few
Ive had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But Ive come through

und ein letztes mal
Queen- Under pressure
Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's o.k.
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

So, das wars jetzt

[Denise1989]

und ein letztes mal
Queen- Under pressure

Stimmt Queen ist in sachen Songanfängen nahezu unschlagbar...einige gut fallen mir aber doch noch ein:

Jack Johnson:Better Together

There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
Our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it’s so hard? It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
But I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together...
(sorry ist nur mit der ganzen ersten Strophe sinnvoll)

James Blunt-No Bravery
There are children standing here, arms out streched into the sky,tears drying on there face, he has been here...

Jack Johnson-Upside down
Who´s to say what´s impossible?
Well, they forgot this world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything

Phil Collins-Can't stop loving you

So youre leaving
In the morning
On the early train
But I could say everythings alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye

Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
Oh, I could say thats the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying

Cause I can't stop loving you...

Mir fiele da noch ne menge mehr ein aber man muss es ja nicht gleich übertreiben...

[~SummerGilmore~]

LaFee-Prinzesschen
Du hast Figur doch kein Gehirn
Dir klebt sexy auf der Stirn
Deine T***** sind ein Traum
sie hängen kaum
Ich bin leider nicht dein Stil
den ich spiele nicht dein Spiel
Nur einer kann die schönste sein
und das bist du allein
doch unter deinem Dekollté
tut es immer immer wieder so wweh
jeder liebt zwar dein Gesicht doch tief in dir da ist nichts!
Ref:
Ja Prinzesschen du hast leicht
deine Eltern sind stinkreich
du bist ach so wundersschön
willst jedem Typ den Kopf verdrehn
Ja Prinzesschen du hast Macht
bist die Königin der Nacht
du bist jung und wunderschön
und jeder A**** will mit dir gehn
Ref. ende

[Annelein]

Wise Guys... --> Kaier Franz

Ich joggte kürzlich durch den Wald.
Am Regnen war's, und schweinekalt,
und wie ich tropfend durch die Pampa gurk',
seh' ich doch plötzlich eine Fee,
der Tat der linke Flügel weh.
Ich sagte: "Kein Problem. Ich bin Chirurg!"
Das war zwar absoluter Quatsch,
doch vor mir lag die Fee im Matsch.
Zufällig hatt' ich ein Skalpell dabei
und hab' den Flügel amputiert.
Sie hat mir die OP quittiert
mit einem Wunsch. Den hätt' ich quasi frei.

[s0nnenbLume]

Ich finde auch noch gut:

Up to the Stars von 3 Feet Smaller:

June 4, an ordinary day
We are together, everything’s ok
We go out, for a walk
We are together and we talk
About the things we really like
The hours pass and now it’s night
We lay there, on the ground
And there is no one around
No sound

und

I´m just a kid von Simple Plan:

I woke up it was 7
I waited til 11
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think I've got alot of friends
But I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone
When you're spending every day on your own
And here it goes

[sweethabibi]

F-Raz- Der Traum

Ich bin alleine
Am Boden verzweifelt
Der Wind trägt deinen Namen
Vermisse dich und kann nicht warten
Mein Schatz du bist fort
An einem ganz bestimmten Ort
Ich wollt´so viel mit dir reden
Einfach mit dir glücklich leben

[Insomniac]

Sehr schönes Thema!
Viele wurden ja schon genannt (ich liebe zB: Sound of Silence total - wahnsinnig toller Text), aber hier sind noch ein paar meiner Lieblingssonganfänge:

Sarah McLachlan - Fallen
Heaven bend to take my hand
and lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
to a long and painful fight

Death Cab for Cutie - I will follow you into the dark
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

Gary Jules - Mad World
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Aber bei diesem Lied ist ja sowieso der ganze Text genial - schon alleine die Zeile: I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

[Alligator]

Counting crows august and everything after
She makes a little motion with her head rolls over and says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more

[christina88]

Ben Folds Five - Brick

Six a.m., day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold, car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping, I am...numb
