There’s a song by The Cure, a band that I love passionately, maybe my favorite band of all time. The song is called "To Wish Impossible Things", and is on the Wish album, the one that has “Friday I’m in Love”. The song shakes me and makes me teary eyed, because the whole album embodies a phase of my life that I detested. My brother and sister, who were 7 and 8 years older than I was, were leaving for college, so I felt awfully lonely. I loathed my school, and really didn’t have any friends. Actually it was during that time that I became so fixated with music, it was my escape, and it saved me. This song’s lyrics represented what I truly felt:
Remember how it used to be
When the sun would fill the sky
Remember how we used to feel
Those days would never end
It was the sweetness of your skin
It was the hope of all we might have been
That filled me with the hope to wish impossible things
To wish impossible things
But now the sun shines cold
And all the sky is gray
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
And all I wish is gone away
"Fire and Rain" by James Taylor and "Wish U Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Ever since my best friend died, every time I hear these songs a tear gets in my eye.

The song "Boys Dont Cry" makes me cry too sometimes ironically lol, just because it's sort of a comment on a character who wishes he could show his emotions, but he can't, because society tells him that he shouldnt
I've always wanted to reply this thread because there is one song that is the answer for me that is SO perfect.
But I never did because there is someone here (on CD) that doesn't like me very much & I was afraid that she would find it & ridicule me (she goes through my posts & cherry picks things I've said on other threads). I am a little afraid to answer but oh well; I'm not going to be bullied into non-existence (CD is kinda my only social outlet right now).
My song is Arms of an Angel by Sarah McLauchlan.
Written in 1997, 3 years after my little girl died. I was bad at grief. I lost everything; my home, my other children. I became addicted to meth & lived out of hotel rooms for 4 years. Made a lot of money as a call-girl.
You know that few minutes after you lay down at night but before you go to sleep where you think about things like "I'm worried about mom ... did I remembr to pay that bill...the neighbors new puppy is so cute ...
Well; I'd do ANYTHING to make that stop; (mine sounded more like "I want my baby, my children, do I have enough for room rent; I'd better cause I f***ed 4 guys today for it ..Please, God; don't let me think.).
I'd use dope until I was so exhausted that I would be asleep BEFORE my head hit the pillow. If I was "with it" enough I would play this song before I crashed & imagine an angel wrapping me in her arms & taking me to see my baby.
(I'm banking on the fact that this will soon be in the middle of a very long thread & no one will see me & be mean. FWIW; I'm sober, married for years now & have 11 children & 4 grands that are the light of my life. I'd say "I'd never let that happen to me again" but I never thought that would be me in the first place. Now I know better than to be so smug.)
Arms of an Angel
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard, at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And maybe empty
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escape…one last time
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Hi Christi. Don't worry about anyone ridiculing you. If someone does, that's his or her problem, not yours. I'm glad things are better for you now. Here's your song.
"Time flies when you're having fun
I heard somebody say
But if all I've been is fun then baby let me go
Don't wanna be in your way
And I don't wanna be your second choice
Don't wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that you're not in love
You wanna throw it all away
But I can't stay away from you
I don't wanna let you go
And though it's killing me, that's true
There's just some things I can't control
Your love is slipping through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you
Hold on to every bit of hope that's all I ever do
Hoping you might change
Your mind and call me up
To say how much you need me too
And though you're leaving me no other choice
Than to turn and walk away
Look over your shoulder, I'll be there
You can count on me to stay
'Cause I can't stay away from you
I don't wanna let you go
And though it's killing me, that's true
There's just some things I can't control
Your love slipping through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you"
