  Rather than hijack another thread and inspired by fullofdoubtnow and dedpoets music for the wedding thread I thought I would start a little "dedications" thread - this isn't the sort of dedication symbolised by dunking though!

  (I expect to see GGBG and OFG here forthwith for some romantic dedications).

  I'd like to dedicate the following to someone special - "Bodies - by Drowning Pool" . They probably wont see this, but the thought that counts!

  Feel free to include lyrics!

  Skin against skin blood and bone
  You're all by yourself but you're not alone
  You wanted in and now you're here
  Driven by hate consumed by fear
  
  Let the bodies hit the floor
  Let the bodies hit the floor
  Let the bodies hit the floor
  Let the bodies hit the floor...
  
  One
  Nothing wrong with me
  Two
  Nothing wrong with me
  Three
  Nothing wrong with me
  Four
  Nothing wrong with me
  
  One
  Something's got to give
  Two
  Something's got to give
  Three
  Something's got to give, now...
  
  Let the bodies hit the floor
  Let the bodies hit the floor
  Let the bodies hit the floor...

  Anything goes I hope! I recently saw my ex-wife at a funeral. There is still something special between us. This is to her.

  I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
  That don't bother me
  I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
  I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
  Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
  There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
  But that's not what gets me
  
  What hurts the most
  Was being so close
  And having so much to say
  And watching you walk away
  And never knowing
  What could have been
  And not seeing that loving you
  Is what I was tryin' to do
  
  It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
  But I'm doin' It
  It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
  Still Harder
  Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
  But I know if I could do it over
  I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
  That I left unspoken
  
  What hurts the most
  Is being so close
  And having so much to say
  And watching you walk away
  And never knowing
  What could have been
  And not seeing that loving you
  Is what I was trying to do
  
  What hurts the most was being
  so close
  And having so much to say
  And watching you walk away
  And never knowing
  What could have been
  And not seeing that loving you
  Is what I was trying to do
  
  Not seeing that loving you
  That's what I was trying to do

  Good Girl or Bad Girl?

  Well, I've been summoned.

  Crumpet, today is a very special day. OFG and I have been apart for too long, and he is flying to my side of the country to get me and take me home with him. Forever starts today.

  Here is a song I've been listening to on repeat:

  Be here now
  no other place to be
  or just sit there dreaming
  of how life would be
  if we were somewhere better
  somewhere far
  away from all our worries
  well here we are
  
  you are the love of my life
  
  be here now
  no other place to be
  all the doubts that linger
  just set them free
  and let good things happen
  let the future come
  into each moment
  like a rising sun
  
  you are the love of my life
  you are the love of my life
  yeah you know you are
  
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  
  it's all new today
  all we have to say is
  be here now
  it's all new today
  all we have to say is
  be here now
  
  be here now
  no other place to be
  this whole world keeps changing
  come change with me
  everything that's happened
  all that's yet to come
  is here inside this moment
  it's the only one
  
  you are the love of my life
  you are the love of my life
  yeah you know you are
  
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  sun comes up and we start again
  
  it's all new today
  all we have to say is
  be here now

  I love you, OFG!!

  Good Girl or Bad Girl?

  Crumpet, I got a song for you, honey, Girl you are worth so much! Don't ever forget it!!! (These lyrics help me when I'm struggling with who I am and what choices I've made in life. We have to believe in ourselves and know that who we are and what we feel IS so important!)

  All you used to do was put me down
  But I found a way to pick myself up off the ground
  And all you used to do was criticise me
  But now I found the good and I emphasise ya see
  
  You would always get so sensitive
  And try to turn your transgressions into my guiltiness
  But now I'm certain of the way I live
  And what I'm responsible for in this twisted game
  
  And it's such a shame
  That you try to make pain
  Another word for my name
  Whether giving or receiving
  It's one the same
  Just one more link
  In your long-ass chain
  But it's time to break
  This frame and my strengthful will
  Time to jump off this negative cycle we've built
  Gave my heart
  But my self-respect you won't steal
  Now it's time to let ya go if you can't hear me feel me
  
  So I asked my momma for her two cents
  And then I asked my little sister and I asked my friend
  Then I asked my poppa once and I asked him again
  Came to the consensus from all them opinions
  That life is too short to be unhappy
  And since I know what I'm worth there'll be no settling for dirt
  Not when what I deserve is gold
  If I want diamonds then I can't settle for coal
  
  Maybe I was just too strong to let go
  Maybe I was just too weak to let it show
  Maybe I was just too stubborn to say "No"
  But whatever the case I can't take it no more
  
  Sometimes I think maybe we'll patch it all up
  Like a favourite pair of jeans that you won't give up on
  Or maybe one of these arguments will make up
  And start again like when we started this up
  Back when everything was fresh
  And every moment a blessing
  I'd laugh at all of your jokes
  You'd listen to my suggestions
  One mind, one soul,
  One common destination
  Now we can't help but fight over the direction

  (That Old Pair of Jeans by Fatboy Slim)

  Hi Djk!

  Anything goes I hope! I recently saw my ex-wife at a funeral. There is still something special between us. This is to her.

  Absolutely anything goes - a lovely heartbreaking song. And welcome to the board!

  GGBG

  "Forever starts today" - that is sooo romantic! I am very very happy for you both! Have a safe journey! And who is the song by??

  Feel free to post for love or for venting! You wana dedicate Anarachy to the Traffic Warden who just gave you a ticket - go for it!

  I'd like to dedicate this one to the nasty creditors tormeting poor Abandoned and the dubs who have brought him to that position and to onacruse as it kind of seems appropriate too:

  The Wanderer by Johnny Cash
  I went out walking Through streets paved with gold Lifted some stones Saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walking Under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn And the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodbye Yeah I went with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering I went drifting Through the capitals of tin Where men can't walk Or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say they want the kingdom But they don't want God in it I went out riding Down that old eight lane I passed by a thousand signs Looking for my own name I went with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you I went out there In search of experience To taste and to touch And to feel as much As a man can Before he repents I went out searching Looking for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his father's right hand I went out walking With a bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one Now Jesus, don't you wait up Jesus, I'll be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers Told her I'd be back by noon Yeah I left with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering

  Here's a song I'm dedicating to myself. It's a Dusty Springfield song, but I like Alexa's version much better. It does a pretty good job of describing me ;)

  Spooky

  In the cool of the evening
  When everything is getting kind of groovy
  You call me up and ask me
  Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
  First I say no, Ive got some plans for tonight
  And then I stop and say all right
  Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you

  You always keep me guessing
  I never seem to know what you are thinking
  And if a girl looks at you
  Its for sure your little eye will be a-winking
  I get confused, I never know where I stand
  And then you smile and hold my hand
  Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
  Spooky

  If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
  Im gonna tell you all the things my hearts been a-dying to be saying
  Just like a ghost youve been a-haunting my dreams
  But now I know youre not what you seem
  Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
  Spooky

  Ahh, ahh, spooky, mmm, spooky, ahh, ahh, ahh, spooky, ooh, spooky
  Ahh, aah, aah, spooky

  I would like to dedicate "demons and angels" by Diamond Rio to Amanda. The song is about alcoholism, and even though I dont drink I think some of the words ring true for me.

  This is a great song by Steve Forbert, one of my favourites. The video link is to a couple of his, including this one

  ROMEO'S TUNE

  Meet me in the middle of the day
  Let me hear you say everything's okay
  Bring me southern kisses from your room
  Meet me in the middle of the night
  Let me hear you say everything's alright
  Let me smell the moon in your perfume
  
  Oh, Gods and years will rise and fall
  And there's always something more
  It's lost in talk, I waste my time
  And it's all been said before
  While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there
  I don't ask for all that much I just want someone to care
  That's right now
  
  Meet me in the middle of the day
  Let me hear you say everything's okay
  Come on out beneath the shining sun
  
  Meet me in the middle of the night
  Let me hear you say everything's alright
  Sneak on out beneath the stars and run
  
  Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah
  
  It's king and queen and we must go down now beyond the chandelier
  Where I won't have to speak my mind and you won't have to hear
  Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes
  We'll huddle down behind the light and fade like magazines
  
  Meet me in the middle of the day
  Let me hear you say everything's okay
  Bring me southern kisses from your room
  
  Hey hey, meet me in the middle of the night
  Let me hear you say everything's alright
  Let me smell the moon in your perfume
  
  Oh now, meet me in the middle of the day
  Let me hear you say everything's okay
  Let me see you smiling back at me
  
  Hey, meet me in the middle of the night
  Let me hear you say everything's alright
  Hold me tight and love and loving's free
