Hi guys. I guess it's rather apparent how touched I am by the dynamics within the relationship between Ennis & Jack in the film "Brokeback Mountain".  Especially because I can relate to film on a very personal level. That being the case, it seems that songs I hear have a tendancy to remind me of them & myself with my own relationship. So I wanted to start a thread containing songs that I find fit the dynamics of the complicated relationship between Ennis & Jack, myself & my love, & other members personal experiences in love. ~smiles at certain members knowingly~ I'll undoubtedly be adding to this thread. Sincerely, Laurasia |

This first song, I think, should apply to everyone of every walk in life.
"The Dance" by Garth Brooks
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above.
For a moment all the world was right,
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain,
But I'd of had to miss the dance.
Holding you, I held everything.
For a moment wasn't I the king?
But if I'd only known how the king would fall...
Hey who's to say? You know I might have changed it all.
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain,
But I'd of had to miss the dance.
Yes my life is better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss the dance.
Sincerely,
Laurasia

Yet another one that I feel applies to everyone irregradless of sexual orientation or walk of life. "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping. She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark. And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning, Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart? If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her? Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one? If my time on earth were through, And she must face this world without me, Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last? If tomorrow never comes? 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them. Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed. So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me. And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel. If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her? Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one? If my time on earth were through, And she must face this world without me, Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last? If tomorrow never comes? So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of... If tomorrow never comes. Sincerely, Laurasia |

Yet another that reminds me of Ennis & Jack. "The Scientist" by Coldplay Come up to meet you. Tell you I’m sorry. You don’t know how lovely you are. I had to find you. Tell you I need you. Tell you I set you apart. Tell me your secrets. And ask me your questions. Aww let’s go back to the start. Runnin’ in circles. Combing our tails. Heads on the science apart. Nobody said it was easy. It’s such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard... Aww take me back to the start. I was just guessin’ at numbers and figures. Pullin’ the puzzles apart. Questions of science. Science and progress. Do not speak as loud as my heart. Tell me you love me. Come back to haunt me. I wanna rush to the start. Runnin’ in circles. Chasin’ our tails. Comin’ back as we are. Nobody said it was easy. Aww It’s such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be so hard... I’m goin’ back to the start. Sincerely, Laurasia |

This song has always made me cry. Now that it makes me think of Jack & Ennis...I simply cry harder.  "I Will Remember You" by Sarah McLachlan I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by, And weep not for the memories. Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad. How clearly I first saw you smilin’ in the sun. Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one. I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by, And weep not for the memories. I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep. It’s funny how we feel so much, but we cannot say a word. We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard. But I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by, And weep not for the memories. I’m so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose. Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose. Once there was a darkness. A deep and endless night. You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light. And I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by, Ans weep not for the memories. And I will remember you. Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by, And weep not for the memories. Weep not for the memories. Sincerely, Laurasia |

This song reminds me of Ennis singing to Jack.  "Sweet Surrender" by Sarah McLachlan It doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t mean anything at all. The life I’ve left behind me Is a cold room. I’ve crossed the last line, From where I can’t return. Where every step I took in faith Betrayed me. And led me from my home... And sweet... Sweet surrender, Is all that I have to give. You take me in, No questions asked. You strip away the ugliness That surrounds me. Are you an angel? Am I already that gone? I only hope That I won’t disappoint you. When I’m down here On my knees. And sweet... Sweet... Sweet surrender, Is all that I have to give. Sweet... Sweet... Sweet surrender, Is all that I have to give. And I don’t understand... By the touch of your hand I would be the one to fall. I miss the little things. I miss everything (about you). It doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t mean anything at all. The life I left behind me Is a cold room. And sweet... Sweet... Sweet surrender, Is all that I have to give. Sincerely, Laurasia |

And this one makes me think of Jack singing to Ennis. "Hold On" by Sarah McLachlan Hold on... Hold on to yourself. For this is gonna hurt like he**. Hold on... Hold on to yourself. You know that only time will tell. What is it in me that refuses to believe This isn’t easier than the real thing? My love... You know that you’re my best friend. You know I’d do anything for you. My love... Let nothing come between us. My love for you is strong and true. Am I in heaven here or am I... At the crossroads I am standing? So now you’re sleeping peaceful... I lie awake and pray. That you’ll be strong tomorrow and we’ll See another day and we will praise it. And love the light that brings a smile Across your face. Oh God if you’re out there won’t you hear me? I know that we’ve never talked before. Oh God the man I love is leaving! Won’t you take him when he comes to your door? Am I in heaven here or am I in he**? At the crossroads I am standing? So now you’re sleeping peaceful... I lie awake and pray. That you’ll be strong tomorrow and we’ll See another day and we will praise it. And love the light that brings a smile Across your face... Hold on... Hold on to yourself... For this is gonna hurt like he**. Sincerely, Laurasia |

Yet another that reminds me of Jack singing to Ennis... "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan Listen as the wind blows... From across the great divide. Voices trapped in yearning. Memories trapped in time. The night is my companion, And solitude my guide. Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied? And I would be the one To hold you down... Kiss you so hard... I’ll take your breath away. And after I’d wipe away the tears, Just close your eyes dear. Through this world I’ve stumbled... So many times betrayed. Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved. Oh you speak to me in riddles and You speak to me in rhymes. My body aches to breathe your breath. Your words keep me alive. And I would be the one To hold you down... Kiss you so hard... I’ll take your breath away. And after I’d wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear. Into this night I wander, It’s morning that I dread. Another day of knowing of The path I fear to tread. Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride. Nothing stands between us here And I won’t be denied. And I would be the one To hold you down... Kiss you so hard... I’ll take your breath away. And after I’d wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear. Sincerely, Laurasia |

EVANESCENCE
Origin
Even In Death Lyrics
Even In Death
Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
[CHORUS:]
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
[Chorus]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
People die, but real love is forever.

Don't Cry
(seal) 1994
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Those tears are for someone else.
I hear your voice on the phone.
I hear you feel so alone.
My baby.
When we were young,
And truth was paramount.
We were older then,
And we lived a life without any doubt.
Those memories,
They seem so long ago.
What's become of them? when you feel like me I want you to know.
...they've all gone for sure...
Don't cry.
Not alone.
Don't cry,
Tonight, my baby.
Don't cry,
You'll always be loved.
Don't cry,
Tonight.
My baby.
Today I dreamed,
Of friends I had before.
And I wonder why.
The ones who care don't call anymore.
My feelings hurt.
But you know I overcome the pain.
And I'm stronger now,
There can't be a fire unless there's a flame.
Don't cry.
Your not alone.
Don't cry,
Tonight, my baby.
Don't cry.
You'll always be loved.
Don't cry oh...
Limousines and sycophants,
Don't leave me now,
'cause I'm afraid what you've done to me.
Is now the wolf.
In my bed, (l)
In my head.
The challenges, we took were hard enough.
They get harder now.
Even when we think that we've had enough.
Don't feel alone,
'cause it's I you understand.
I'm your sedative,
Take a piece of me whenever you can.
Don't cry.... you're not alone.
...don't be so hard on yourself...
Don't cry.... tonight my baby
...these tears are for.....someone else...
Don't cry.... you'll always be loved
...i hear your voice on the phone...
Don't cry.... tonight sweet baby
...i hear you fear... so alone.
You'll still be loved

I heard this one on the radio.. first reaction... find it online. I love it and well... you know... all the other good mushy stuff.
RBD ~ Tu Amor
Mi amor I’m not sure of the right words to say
Maybe these simple words will do best to best explain
What I feel in my heart
What I feel more each day
How to make you see
How to let you know
How to say how to say how I love you so
With words you understand
Words that get right through to your heart
Here’s the place to start
Chorus:
Tu Amor, I will always be
Tu Amor, means the world to me
Esteras siempre en mi corazon
You’re the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor
Mi amor love you more with each look in your eyes
Maybe these simple words will do best to best describe
What I feel in my heart
What I’ll feel for all time
How to make you see
How to let you know
How to say how to say how
I need you
With words you understand
Words that get through to your soul
Words that will let you know
Chorus:
Tu Amor, I will always be
Tu Amor, means the world to me
Esteras siempre en mi corazon
You’re the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor
Bridge:
You’re the one that
I need in my arms
Believe me these words
I say are words that come straight from my heart
How do I make you believe
Nothing else means as much as what you mean to me
Chorus:
Tu Amor, I will always be
Tu Amor, means the world to me
Esteras siempre en mi corazon
You’re the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor
