I was on the air today and introduced the song, "If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows Your Name)" It's still in rotation after being a former #1 single for two weeks, but I always introduce it as my Dialysis theme song.
Here's a sample of the first set of lyrics:
Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Say's I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to You
That's when you learn the truth
If you're going through hell
Keep on going, Don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
So what do you consider YOUR Dialyisis Theme Song?

This has been my personal theme song for a while ... I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
But right now ... Bad Day - Daniel Powter also gets me because I get to scream about having a bad day :-)
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You can here this one on his myspace page Daniel Powter

Everybody dance!

I have used that song "When you are going through hell" this year as my personal theme song. It has gotten me through the worst of it all this year. I hope that singer knows how much that song has helped people. I just held my head up when things got really bad around here and sang that song everytime it came on the radio! I even looked up the lyrics and have them on the computer so I can go back and read them when I needed to!
I also love "I hope you dance". I always think about my kids when I hear that song.
My theme song for a while was "When I get where I am going." Now I am looking for a new song to use. Sometimes I just use Devo's "Whip it." Lol.

Here's my latest favorite - (Thanks to Fox for helping me with finding the lyrics!) It's by Smash Mouth
I get to the party, but I'm too late
and I got stood up, on my very first date
I listen to country, and everybody goes rock
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops
it doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
but here I go again, and I say...
[chorus]
hey, that's the story of my life, I had a good plan but it didn't go right
oh no, I'm overdrawn, I check my account and the money's all gone
why me, I don't know what to think, I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
seems to be the story of my life
I pick a slot machine, and lose it all again
but when I walk away, someone else always wins
she finally calls me, I forget my phone
and when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed
it doesn't matter what I try, it all ends up the same
and here I go again, and I say...
[chorus]
hey, that's the story of my life, I had a good plan but it didn't go right
oh no, I'm overdrawn, I check my account and the money's all gone
why me, I don't know what to think, I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
seems to be the story of my life
just when it seems like it's turned around for me
there's always something that ends up happening
I found my car, but I can't find my keys
I get to the party a little too late
and once again, the music starts to play
[chorus]
hey, that's the story of my life, I had a good plan but it didn't go right
oh no, I'm overdrawn, I check my account and the money's all gone
why me, I don't know what to think, I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
seems to be the story of my life
the story of my life
the story of my life
that's the story of my life
that's the story of my life
In college, my roomies and I had "Under Pressure" By Queen and David Bowie for our theme song. That one still works these days, too!

This is my song right now. A co-worker says whenever she hears this song she thinks of me. ::)
Gnarls Barkley
Crazy
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had to let go
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think your'e in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Here's my latest favorite - (Thanks to Fox for helping me with finding the lyrics!) It's by Smash Mouth
sometimes I think that is mine as well :P
I don't really have one but I did a search and maybe this one:
DANIEL POWTER - GIVE ME LIFE (http://www.mp3lyrics.org/d/daniel-powter/give-me-life/)
Right directions, I got problems with your friends
understand my point of view
and I'm not bothered I break before I bend
give me life, give me life, for what I do.
I can't remember and everything the same
and what you think that I should be
you pushed me backwards, I played the stupid game
give me life, give me life, for what I say.
And the moment that you lose yourself
you wish that you were someone else
and the only thing that comes apart
to take respond from were we start.
Cause I got not excuse for the way I talk to you
but you don't compremise you nothing new
let's get together and see what we become
give me live, give mi live, for what I've done.
What's the answers
I fall between the cracks
I'll be happy when you sink
I was promised if you're through with us
give me life, give my life, for what I think.
And the moment that you lose yourself
you wished that you were someone else
and whatever else is going on,
everyone will know once your halfway go.
You got no excuses for the way you treated me
And I don't compremise to easily
let's stay together
to see what we've become
give me live, give me live, for what I've done.
Give me life, give me life, for what I do.
Give me life, give me life, for what I do.

With all my everyday trials and tribulations there is one song that will get me through each and every day and that is Louis Armstrongs most beautiful song EVER!!! What a Wonderful World...
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

I found my theme song!
Standing Outside The Fire
Written by: Garth Brooks, Jenny Yates
We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Hi, all. This song is not only my "dialysis" song...but my "life" song ... by Depeche Mode
"Walking In My Shoes"
I would tell you about the things,
They put me through.
The pain I've been subjected to.
But the Lord himself would blush.
The countless feasts laid at my feet,
Forbidden fruits for me to eat.
But I think your pulse would start to rush.
Now I'm not looking for absolution,
Or forgiveness for the things I do.
But before we come to any conclusions,
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps.
Keep the same appointments I've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Morality would frown upon,
And decency look down upon,
The scapegoat fate's made of me.
But I'll tell you now, my judge and jurors.
Intentions couldn't have been purer.
My case is easy to see.
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience.
Peace of mind after what I've been through.
But before we talk of any repentance,
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps.
Keep the same appointments I've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
Now I'm not looking for the absolution,
Or forgiveness for the things I do.
But before you come to any conclusions.
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps.
Keep the same appointments I've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
You'll stumble in my footsteps.
Keep the same appointments I've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.

Bob Dylan's
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

I thought and thought and couldn't think of a theme song for my kidney.
So I wrote one. Sing this to any county music..........
"I lost my kidney"
"I lost my dawg"
"I lost my Husband"
"and I lost my jawb"
CHORUS:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Repeat as many times as you want.

Here are the lyrics, Devlin's wife, to your theme song...
I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk, by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
when you face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
Surrounded by you glory
what will my heart feel
will i dance for you jesus
or in awe of you be still
will i stand in your presence
or to my knees will i fall
will i sing halleujiah
will i be able to speak at all
i can only imagine
i can only imagine
I can only imagine when that day comes
when i find myself standin inside
i can only imagine when all i would do is forever
forever worship you
i can only imagine
i can only imagine
surrounded by your glory
what will my heart feel
will i dance for you jesus
or in awe of you be still
will i stand in your presence
or to my knees will i fall
will i sing halleujiah
will i be able to speak at all
i can only imagine

I'm still pre-dialysis, but "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", by Jon Bon Jovi, has served me well lately, and I think it should carry over just fine when I am on dialysis. I listen to it driving home from work each day, and the harder my day was, the louder I sing along - very therapeutic, although sometimes the people in the cars next to me look a little scared!
Some of the words go like this:
Hey, man, I'm alive
I'm takin' each day
And night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive
I'm takin' each day
And night at a time
Yeah, I'm down
But I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey
Hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin'
But this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name
Or tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away
Don't know if I can
I wish that I could be
In some other time and place
With someone else's soul
Someone else's face
Hey, man, I'm alive
I'm takin' each day
And night at a time
Yeah, I'm down
But I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey
Hey, man, gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces
And what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Some day I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet
I'll be doin' alright
It may not be tomorrow
Baby, that's okay
I ain't goin' down
Gonna find a way, hey hey hey

When I had my transplant I had a theme song. I made a copy of this on a tape and sent it to my donor family through the transplant cordinator.

Okay, I found my theme song, here it is:
Life Ain't Always Beautiful - Gary Allan
Life ain't always beautiful.
Sometimes it's just plain hard.
Life can knock you down,
It can break your heart.
Life ain't always beautiful:
You think you're on your way.
And it's just a dead end road,
At the end of the day.
But the struggles make you stronger,
And the changes make you wise.
And happiness has it's own way,
Of takin' it's sweet time.
No, life ain't always beautiful.
Tears will fall sometimes.
Life ain't always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride.
Life ain't always beautiful:
Some days, I miss your smile.
I get tired of walkin' all
These lonely miles.
And I wish for just one minute,
I could see your pretty face.
Guess I can dream,
But life don't work that way.
But the struggles make me stronger,
And the changes make me wise.
And happiness has it's own way,
Of takin' it's sweet time.
No, life ain't always beautiful.
But I know I'll be fine.
Hey, life ain't always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride.
What a beautiful ride.
That about sums it up for me now, life ain't always beautiful, but I know I'll be fine.

Lou Reed
Album: Magic And Loss
Title: Magic And Loss - The Summation
When you pass through the fire, you pass through humble
You pass through a maze of self doubt
When you pass through humble, the lights can blind you
Some people never figure that out
You pass through arrogance, you pass through hurt
You pass through an ever present past
And it's best not to wait for luck to save you
Pass through the fire to the light
Pass through the fire to the light
Pass through the fire to the light
It's best not to wait for luck to save you
Pass through the fire to the light
As you pass through the fire, your right hand waving
There are things you have to throw out
That caustic dread inside your head
Will never help you out
You have to be very strong, 'cause you'll start from zero
Over and over again
And as the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
Lying straight ahead
Lying straight ahead
Lying straight ahead
As the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
Lying straight ahead
They say no one person can do it all
But you want to in your head
But you can't be shakespeare and you can't be joyce
So what is left instead
You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment this wonderful fire
Started up again
When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly
When you pass through i'm better than you all
When you pass through anger and self deprecation
And have the strength to acknowledge it all
When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic
That let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is passion
And there's a door up ahead not a wall
As you pass through fire as you pass through fire
Trying to remember its name
When you pass through fire licking at your lips
You cannot remain the same
And if the building's burning move towards that door
But don't put the flames out
There's a bit of magic in everything
And then some loss to even things out
Some loss to even things out
Some loss to even things out
There's a bit of magic in everything
And then some loss to even things out
and
Artist: U2
Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind
Title: Stuck in a Moment
I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass

Another song I like is Hurt sung by Johnny Cash. I know someone else originally sung it but I like his version better
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Mallory, I love that song by Johnny Cash! I believe it was Nine Inch Nails who did it first but his is awesome!
-
Oooh...I totally love "HURT" too... I love the Johnny Cash version...even though NIN is my favorite...

Hothouse Flowers - Trying to get through - From the album Home
Spend a long time on my own last night
I think I spent a little but over the top
It's just something in a bottle
made me feel right
And I think that's why I couldn't stop
The man beside me
had the warmest look of understanding in his eyes
As I went on about the laws the barriers and things
That came upon me and my kind
I'm just trying to get through
We have words but sometimes words say too much
but they don't say enough
The boys meed the girl
Sometimes they sail smoothly
and sometimes it's rough
I remember like a little child
kicking against a stone wall
that I built myself
I won't give in now
I won't feel guilty
I'll just rise up
I'll have to be myself
I'm just trying to get through
I'm just trying to get through
So help me
I'm trying to get through
Can't you see I'm trying to get through
Help me through
So listen people what I tell you now
Life is hard but it's worth keeping on
Listen people what I can tell you straight
It's not too late to try and get through
I'm just trying to get through...
Actually, there are a lot of songs that I use to keep me going, but this one has been on my mind lately.
-
I like many of the songs already listed. My CKD song is Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel singing Don't Give Up. Here is the YouTube link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYUAvAZt2jw
Here are the lyrics - Kate Bush's part in italics
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong.

I like many of the songs already listed. My CKD song is Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel singing Don't Give Up. Here is the YouTube link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYUAvAZt2jw
Here are the lyrics - Kate Bush's part in italics
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong.
That's a beautiful song. I have that on my Ipod and it makes me smile.
Good choice

A new one I heard this week.
Rascal Flatts Stand Lyrics
Stand - Rascal Flatts
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you’ll be alright
You’ll be alright
Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand
2.
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand
Yeah then you stand.
Bridge:
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Ooohhh
Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah

Some beach
Somewhere
There's a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
Palm trees are a-growing and a warm breezes a blowing
I picture myself sitting there
On Some beach, somewhere

For some odd and random reason I find myself humming the theme song to Hawaii Five-O as I pull into the clinic parking lot these days.......
:bow;

My song is a song the choir sang at church one Sunday morning.
I got the words to it and keep them in my nightstand.
Many times I need get it out and read it again.
The Point of Grace
When the fire of life leaves you so dry
that your eyes have no more tears to cry;
oh, when heartache leaves you wond'ring why.
or wond'ring how you will survive,
When you've grown too tired to run the race,
find your strength is gone without a trace,
when you've reached that lonely desp'rate place,
You have reached the point of grace.
chorus
I will meet you there where your striving ends,
I will hold you there in My embrace,
You will find the place where true joy begins
when you've reached the point of grace.
When you've reached the point of grace.
When your hopes and dreams begin to fade,
Disappointment clouding all the plans you've made,
Feeling lonely, broken and afraid,
It seems so long since you've seen the light of day,
When it seems like every trial you face,
Leaves you one step closer to the place,
Where you fall away or reach for My embrace,
Child, you have reached the point of grace!
chorus
Just let go and you will see,
Just how mighty love can be,
Child, your greatest strength is when youre weak,
Looking up from your brokenness to Me!
chorus
Amazing Grace!
a beautiful song!

Hi everyone!
The first time I ever heard this song, I thought to myself "This is EXACTLY how I feel when it's time for my standing blood pressure at the end of a treatment!!
What do you think??
Have an AWESOME day!!

My theme song is "I Want Out" by Helloween, because it sums up how I feel when I sit in that hellhole of a dialysis center.
From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see
[Bridge:]
So they keep talking and they never stop
And at a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this
[Chorus:]
I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear
[Bridge:]
But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
'Cause I decide the way things gonna be
[Chorus:]
I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
There's a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone
[Solo: Kai/Both]
No no no, leave me alone
[Chorus:]
I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free

I am not super religious (although this song sounds like it) I like this song and it reminds me how lucky I am to be alive! :yahoo;
http://youtube.com/watch?v=s1kULQceVPc <<<<<----LISTEN
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see so clearly
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away
I listen to this and about three other songs that encourage and inspire me everyday on my way to work (during my almost hour and a ahalf commute) and I think about the power that kidney disease has brought me - by giving me the ability to weather and overcome situations which would drive others to give up. Making me grateful for every minute I have with those I love most and never to sweat the little stuff.
We are powerful, useful and and stronger than most. We have so much to contribute and this song and others remind me that I am glad to have been given the opportunity to help others achieve - Grace like rain falls down on me! :grouphug;

This is my Theme song - Sarah Mclachlan - In the arms of Angels
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
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
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an 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 an 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, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of an Angel, far 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
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

The Middle
by Jimmy Eat World
Hey,
Don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out,
Or looked down on.
Just try your best,
Try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away.
[Chorus]
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright. (alright)
Hey,
You know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough)
For someone else.
[Chorus x2]
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out, (feel left out)
Or looked down on.
Just do your best, (just do your best)
Do everything you can. (do everything you can)
And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (bitter hearts)
Are gonna say.
[Chorus x2]

"A Little Bit Longer" by Jonas Brothers.
Got the news today
Doctor said I had to stay
A little bit longer
And I'll be fine
When I thought it'd all been done
When I thought it'd all been said
A little bit longer
And I'll be fine
But you don't know what you got
'Till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like
To feel so low
Everytime you smile or laugh you glow
You don't even know
No no
You don't even know
All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A little bit longer
And I'll be fine
Waitin' on a cure
But none of them are sure
A little bit longer
And I'll be fine
But you don't know what you got
'Till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like
To feel so low
And everytime you smile or laugh you glow
You don't even know
No no
You don't even know
No no
Two, three, four!
Yeah!
And you don't know what you got
'Till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like
To feel so low
And everytime you smile or laugh you glow
You don't even know
No
Yeah
Woah!
[Oooohhh]
So I wait 'till kingdom come
All the highs and lows are gone
A little bit longer
And I'll be fine
I'll be
Fine
[Additonal lyrics]
So I'm finally here today
You've touched me here today
And I wish that I could stay
A little bit longer
And I'll be fine
The reason I relate to this song is because it's sung from the a young person (Kevin Jonas, 15 who has diabetes) with a chronic illness, whereas most songsd of this type are by older artists
-
Oooh...I totally love "HURT" too... I love the Johnny Cash version...even though NIN is my favorite...
Treasure
Just wanted to note- Trent Reznor (NIN) will not play that song anymore because "It belongs to John now. His version of the song is the definitive one."
Great thread.
Mine is Miracle Drug off HTDAAB from U2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKuOxOQedSE
I want a trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I wanna hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I wanna see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...
I am you and you are mine
Love makes no sense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear your voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
Yeah, I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug

I had never actually thought of having a dialysis theme song, but I can't think of any two better than Going Through Hell and Standing Outside the Fire. Kitkatz, have you ever seen the video for Standing Outside the Fire? It's about a boy with Down's Syndrome who wants to enter the school race. Garth ended up burning down the stadium seating. I kick myself because at the time my country radio station asked for volunteers to be in the stands for the video (not while it was burning) and I never went. I could have met Garth Brooks!!!!! 20/20 hindsight; ain't it wonderful?!

Well i wont start dialysis for another month or so, so they say.
But i have liked this song for a long time. And to me it seems to fit...
Im sure many wont like it but i do :-)
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again

That's kinda weird because I hear that one in my head every time I go to dialysis. Our doors are locked and the staff treat us like children. We are also not allowed to have visitors or watch R-rated movies And I have been told that this is my life now and to not expect a kidney. And expressing dissent is not encouraged because it makes them have to not be lazy, but I do anyway because it is my life, not theirs and they need to respect that.

Miracle Out Of Nowhere :thumbup;
On a crystal morning I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from a gleaming heaven, I can hear the voices call
When you comin' home now, son, the World is not for you
Tell me what's you point of view
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way
Here I am just waiting for a sign
Asking questions, learning all the time
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love, and miracles out of nowhere
Tell me now dear Mother, what's it like to be so old
Children grown and leavin', seems the world is growin' cold
And though your body's ailin' you, your mind is just like new
Tell me where you're goin' to
It's so simple right before your eyes
If you'll look through this disguise
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere
I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago
No one ever listens, I just play and then I go
Off into the sunset like the western heroes do
Tell me what you're gonna do
Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life I knew that it was mine
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere

You know better daddy
I can't stand it cause you put him down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine
I despise ya
I despise you
I despise you
I despise you anyhow
And I don't care
If you don't want me
I'm not yours right now
You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you're done taking my time

I LOVE the song, Jesus Take the Wheel, by Carrie Underwood
Here is the link to hear the song on utube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky4rfA_tebY
Jesus Take The Wheel lyrics
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

When I first started Dialysis:
Last Resort by Papa Roach
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Dont give a p*ck if I cut my arm bleeding
This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces
Ive reached my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Dont give a p*ck if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And Im contemplating suicide
Cuz Im losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry
Feeding on chaos
And living in sin
Downward spiral where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another
Searching to find a love up on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils
Cuz Im losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me in fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Nothings alright
Nothing is fine
Im running and Im crying
Im crying
Im crying
Im crying
Im crying
I cant go on living this way
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Dont give a p*ck if I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And Im contemplating suicide
Cuz Im losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Nothings alright
Nothing is fine
Im running and Im crying
I cant go on living this way
Cant go on
Living this way
Nothings alright
Now its "Faith in You" by PM Dawn
I dont kiss the future like the fortune tellers do
So I cant dream with you at night
Pessimisms hunger changes everything
I wish I walked with faith and not by sight but...
You know with anything you do
Theres a hundred people bringing you down
No matter how you are
Dont letem make you cause theyll break you
Dont letem love you cause theyll hate you even more
So if no one else believes in you
Im completely yours, and Ive got so much faith in you
No matter what this life puts in front of you
You can save this world
Ive got so much faith in you
Anyone who knows you sees the renaissance in you
And I have to try and act surprised
Im a prime demotivator says my point of view
I wish I had some cheer to lead you to but...
No matter how much good you do
Theres a million people wishing you harm
(Im telling you) no matter who you are
Dont letem make you cause theyll break you
Dont letem love you cause theyll hate you even more
So if no one else believes in you
Im completely yours, and Ive got so much faith in you
No matter what this life puts in front of you
You can save this world
Ive got so much faith in you
Oooo.....theres a million things that I could say to you
Oooo....dont letem change you inside
Because anyone who matters will try to understand who you are
So if no one else believes in you
Im completely yours, and Ive got so much faith in you
No matter what this life puts in front of you
You can save this world
Ive got so much faith in you

Since I first found out the bad news of bad kidneys, I have constantly been in a waiting room.... figuratively and literally.
Waiting Room
By: Fugazi
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody's moving,
Everything is moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don't want the news
I'm not a part of it
I don't want the news
I have no use for it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Because... they can't get up
But I don't sit idly by
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I want to be
I won't make the same mistakes
Because I know how much time that wastes
Function is the key
In the waiting room
I make it gender spacific for myself.

When you walk through a storm keep your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone!

Jewel - Good Day :flower;
I say to myself
Self, why are you awake again? It's one a.m.
Standing with the fridge door wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit
As it is, I might watch TV
Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, let myself fall
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mine's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, just hotter.
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
As long as we laugh out loud
Laugh like we're mad
Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch
But still we laugh
I go back upstairs, turn off the TV
You say "I'll be okay baby, just wait and see."
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be okay
Gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
Gonna okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be...

I haven't started dialysis yet. But if I had to pick a song about how I feel right now. It would be
You were ment for me by Jewel
"You Were Meant For Me"
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I go about my business, I'm doin fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Yeah.... You were meant for me and I was meant for you.

I'm not doing dialysis (praise the Lord!!) currently, but everytime I hear this song I think about this thread and this is how I need to live - I need to praise God not only when things are going well, but when life throws challenges in my way, as well.
I Will Praise You In This Storm
Casting Crowns
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
stepped in and saved the day
but once again, I say "Amen," and its still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the rain "I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God that gives and takes away
I'll Praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will Praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can i carry on
If I can't Find you
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the rain "I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God that gives
And takes away
I'll Praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will Praise You in this storm
I lift my eyes into the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth
I lift my eyes into the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth
I'll Praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will Praise You in this storm
And though my heart is torn
I will Praise You in this storm

Not on dialysis - but this is one theme song that besides 'hurt' as sung by the great Mr.Cash - really puts to words the thoughts running circles in my brain:
Blue Monday - Orgy
How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When youve laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
Theyll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But Im quite sure that youll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasnt for your misfortune
Id be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
Trying to get Richie to figure out his song... he's not so musically inclined tho :p

I already loved this song by KD Lang, but after I got sick it really meant something more.
The Valley
I live in the hills
You live in the valleys
And all that you know are those blackbirds
You rise every morning
Wondering what in the world will the world bring today
Will it bring you joy or will it take it away
And every step you take is guided by
The love of the light on the land and the blackbird's cry
You will walk in good company
The valley is dark
The burgeoning holding
The stillness obscured by their judging
You walk through the shadows
Uncertain and surely hurting
Deserted by the blackbirds and the staccato of the staff
And though you trust the light towards which you wend your way
Sometimes you feel all that you wanted has been taken away
You will walk in good company
I love the best of you
You love the best of me
Though it is not always easy
Lovely? lovely?
We will walk in good company
The shepherd upright and flowing
You see...

This song is from the 2006 album Adieu False Heart by Linda Ronstadt and Ann Savoy. I love the whole album and especially this cut.
Too Old to Die Young

If life is like a candle bright
Then death must be the wind
You can close your window tight
And it still comes blowing in
So I will climb the highest hill
And watch the rising sun
And pray that I won't feel the chill
'Til I'm too old to die young
Let me watch my children grow
To see what they become
Lord don't let that cold wind blow
'Til I'm too old to die young
I have had some real good friends
I thought would never die
But all I've got that's left of them
Are these teardrops in my eye
Let me watch my children grow
To see what they become
Lord don't let that cold wind blow
'Til I'm too old to die young
Lord don't let that cold wind blow
'Til I'm too old to die young
Ann Savoy- lead
Linda Ronstadt- harmony and lead on third verse
Bryan Sutton- acoustic guitar
David Schnaufer- dulcimer and bowed dulcimer
Stuart Duncan- fiddle
Byron House- upright bass

I'm on pd but at night to stop the sound of the machine (not alarms, just the pump noise) i often listen to Gary Jules- Mad world. the first bit kind of reminds me of my in centre heamo days.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me look right through me
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world . . . world
Otherwise i have two of David Guetta's songs 'when love takes over' or 'Sexy Bi#*h' just to remind me that I AM. :bandance;

Rob Thomas - Someday
You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry
[chorus]
And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
Now wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be so warm
[chorus]
And i don't want to wait
I just want to know
I just want to hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow
Cause maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
We'll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just feel better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
[x2]
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again

Pink Floyd's "The Machine"....I think of it everytime I walk into to the center...it's usually the last laugh I get for a cpl hours :(
AH YES. That would be one of ours too :2thumbsup;

Just started PD.
- God is dwelling in my heart,
He and I are one,
All this joy he gives to me,
Through Christ His Son.
And with Jesus in my heart,
What have I to fear,
For he is the Son of God,
In my heart He is near.

Lamb Of God - Walk With Me In Hell
Breath
Breath
Pray for blood
Pray for the cleansing
Pray for the flood
Pray for the end of this nightmare
This lie of a life came as quickly as it can dissolve
We seek only reprieve
And welcome the darkness
The myth of a meaning, so lost and forgotten
Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell
Pray for solace
Pray for resolve
Pray for a savior
Pray for deliverance
Some kind of purpose, a glimpse of a light in this void of existence
Oh...
Now witness the end of an age
Hope dies in hands of believers
Who seek the truth in the liar's eyes
Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
Walk with me in hell

What is that song about "big butts". I think of it while watching the old queen ladies daughter wait on here...
-
dw - "Baby got Back"?
-
Athlete - wires.
Seen them live a couple of times now and this song really gets me every time! They are a great British band. Please give this song a listen if you don't know it, I think one of the band wrote it about his daughter who was in hospital but the words just sum up everything for me.
You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
You got tears, making tracks
I got tears, that are scared of the facts
Running, down corridors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes
You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
There's dry blood, on your wrist
Your dry blood on my fingertip
Running, down corridors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
Alright
Running, down corridors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights, reflect in your eyes
down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know.

Float On
I backed my car into a cop car the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's OK.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?
Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on OK.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on anyway.
Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand.
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on, good news is on the way.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on OK.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on.
No don't you worry. We'll all float on.
Alright, already. We'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry. We'll all float on.
And we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy.
We'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on OK.
Don't worry, we'll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on alright.
Don't you worry, we'll all float on.
We'll all float on.

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
