ben harper and the innocent criminals tan müthiş bunalım bir parça..

this empty room it fills my mind
freedom it leaves me confined
every single wall has cracked
but in this life you can't turn back

i don't want to live,
i don't want to live alone
alone
alone
alone

as these words are with my tongue
i question why they're even sung
i have promised but i lied
i don't even know myself inside

i don't want to be,
i don't wanna be here alone
alone
alone
alone

today and tomorrow have become one
every single thing has become none
human nature is a beast
what i've done the most to show i have the least

please don't leave me here,
please don't leave me here
don't you leave me alone
alone
alone
alone
ben harperin yaptığı en anlamlı şey *
(bkz: i stand alone)
80'lerin klasik olmuş en iyi slowlarından birisi. heart idi bizi hüzüne sürükleyen, sürüklemeye davam eden...

(bkz: şarkı sarkıcı uyumu)

i hear the ticking of the clock
i'm lying here the room's pitch dark
i wonder where you are tonight
no answer on the telephone
and the night goes by so very slow
oh i hope that it won't end though
alone

till now i always got by on my own
i never really cared until i met you
and now it chills me to the bone
how do i get you alone
how do i get you alone

you don't know how long i have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
you don't know how long i have waited
and i was going to tell you tonight
but the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
alone

till now i always got by on my own
i never really cared until i met you
and now it chills me to the bone
how do i get you alone
how do i get you alone
how do i get you alone
how do i get you alone
alone, alone
Anathema Alone lyrics
I gave you my soul
You left me dying
(Freezing in the cold wind that screams through
the silence, in the barren wastes of my heart)
Within the walls
Of my mind... alone,
The winter serenade
Fell silent to me
hatun vokalleriyle pek bir vurucu, the silent enigma albumunden bir anathema parcası...

meali:

Sana ruhumu verdim
Sen beni ölüme terkettin

(Yüreğimin kısır israfları içinde sessizlik boyunca haykıran soğuk rüzgarda donuyorum)

Duvarları içinde
Aklımın....Tek basıma
Kış serenadı
Bana sessizliği hissettirdi....
suicidal tendencies in müthiş parçası.oldukça hızlıdır.

I scream at the sky, it's easier than crying
I'm shyest hen I'm shouting out loud
I feel so alone in a room full of people
I'm loudest when I'm in a crowd
I'm alone, and nobody hears me
Can't nobody heal me, won't somebody help me
I'm alone, I just need
Someone to take my hand and pick me up when I'm feeling down

Someone to take my heart and give it a home
Someone to help me through the times when I'm
down and lonely
Someone to be with me when I'm alone
I'm alone, all alone
Alone is the way I live, it's not the way I want it but you know
You can't give in, alone is the way I feel,
it's so hard to understand
Why I've got to be alone

Chorus:
If you took a look at my heart you'd see it
I'm trying to be something better
If you look at my heart you'd feel it
I've got to keep moving on
If you look in my heart you'd know it
I'm just trying to make my world better
If you look in my heart you'd see it
I got to do it alone

I've been down, I've been down
I've been down, down, down so low
I've been lost, so lost with no place left to go
I've had emotions, emotions that you better hope you never know
Sometimes it feels like I just can't take no more

Chorus

Seems like things just keep getting further out of hand
Why can't for once things go as I plan
How dare you, how dare you tell me that you understand
Let me tell you straight out, there ain't nobody here that can
I'm all alone, I'm so alone, to be alone, just leave me alone

If you look in my heart, you'll see it
If you look in my heart, you'd feel it
If you look in my heart you'd know it
I'm not trying to make no one bitter
I'm just alone, leave me alone, alone, alone, now leave me

I've lived in places that you wouldn't never ever want to be
Places where for a minute you couldn't ever stand to be
I've seen things, I've seen things you'd never want to see
So what gives, what gives you the right to be the judge of me
I'm all alone, I'm so alone, to be alone, just leave me alone

A room full of people, can't nobody hear me, can't nobody
help me, I'm alone
I just need someone to take my hand and pick me up when I'm
feeling down, when I"m down
Someone to take my heart and give it a home, when I'm down
Someone to be with me and help me through the times
I'm down and lonely, when I'm down
Someone to be with me when I'm alone
I'm alone, all alone
Alone is the way I live, it's not the way I want it, but I
Know I can't give in
Alone is the way I feel, there ain't nothign quite as sad as
a person that's alone
insanlarda, üzerine şarkı, şiir yazma isteği uyandıran, yalnız anlamına gelen söz.
anathemanınki ...alone diye yazılır, dinlenir ve ağlanır.
alice in chains feat. pearl jam coveriyla bilinen muhteşem parça.

it's been a long day at the bottom of the hill,
she died of a broken heart.
she told me i was living in the past,
drinking from a broken glass.

i'm alone [i never wanna be alone],
now i [now i] try to face the cold.
i'm alone [i never wanna be alone],
now i [now i] try to travel home.

i walked down to the other end of the day,
just to catch those last few waves.
i held out my hand and slowly waved goodbye,
i turned now my eyes up to the sky.

i'm alone [i never wanna be alone],
now i [now i] try to face the cold.
i'm alone [i never wanna be alone],
now i [now i] try to travel home.

she'll come back to me. [she'll come back to me.]
she'll come back to me. [she'll come back to me.]
all alone in this mystery.
she'll come back to me.

i held out my hands into the light and i watched it die,
i know that i was part to play.
my god, my time to die.
never want to spend my life alone.

amorphis'in am universum albümünden süper bir şarkı. amorphis klasiklerindendir. enteresan da bir klibi vardır. sözler:

tear dimmed rememberance
in a womb of time
breath upon me
possessed by the passion
fate will set you free
infertile
chased be the precious
when flesh is an enemy
fair weather man
step aside from the way of a better man than you
so you fall at his feet he's the one who betrays you
it's the servants devotion for the decay
stand up

there are no flowers on your grave
there are no chains
there i keep chanting for the forgotten name

why you feel so empty
and still have everything
it's fullfilment
i've got more companions
when i'm all alone
flesh is fetching
muhteşem bir pearl jam & alice in chains düeti. içinde eddie vedder'in sesi olan bütün şarkılar gibi.. bütün alonelardan daha alone ve bütün alonelardan daha güzel bir alone.
güzel bir avril lavigne parçasıdır.
heart'ın güzel fakat tını itibariyle roxette'nin listen to your heart'ına benzeyen parçası. hangisi daha önce çıkmış önce ona bakmak lazım tabi...
çok depresif bir ben harper parçasıdır. canınız sıkkın bir şekilde hele hele yağmurlu bir havada dinliyorsanız* öldürücü etkileri mevzu bahis olabilir.**
ben harper a ait olan sarkının akustik versiyonu da pek bir bunalımdır, pek bir insanın icine işleyen turdendir. adamın agzına sıcar, affedersiniz.
''she told me i was living in the past,
drinking from a broken glass.''

2.31'den sonra (akustikte) farklı bir havaya bürünen, işin içinde eddie vedder olduğundan mı bilinmez zaten yeterince etkileyici olan sesin etkileme katsayısının arttığı, eddie vedder'in kendi yalnızlığında ''i can help myself don't talk to me.'' dediğini bir an olsun unutmaya çalışırken arka fonda ''never want to spend my life alone'' sesinin yükseldiği şarkı.
the gathering de gözleri en çok şişiren şarkılarından . home albümünde bulunur.

Now you see me getting better
I'm right here on display
And I'll make it a bit heavier
By going all the way

Did you find it much easier
To stoop to where I was
With your power and your knowledge
To leave me here

Alone...
I'm all alone

Now's the time for being humble
By holding you down on your knees
I suspect you'll stay there and crumble
Rather so then to be alone

Do you believe your heart?
Trying in all around to find
To find your way back inside

I will be there
For you to care
And you will find
Peace of mind
(bkz: alone in the dark)
insanda grubun diğer şarkılarını da araştırma şevki uyandıracak güzellikteki amorphis eseri.
insanı en mutlu anında bile bunalıma sürükleyebilen ama aksine de dinlemekten vazgeçmeyi düşünemeyeceğiniz, anneke'nin sesiyle bağımlılık yaratan bir the gathering parçası.
evde yalnızken dinlemesi ayrı koyan bir heart şarkısı.*
lonely'den farklı yalnızlık.
ben harperın söylediği ve özellikle akustik versiyonu çook güzel, fazlaca güzel, insanı darma duman eden, kafasını dağlara taşlara vurmasına sebebiyet verecek kadar güzel olan bir çeşit işkence.
