Welke songtekst ontroert jou tot tranen toe?

18-12-2020 17:13 187 berichten
De titel spreekt voor zich, maar ik ben benieuwd welke songtekst jou ontroert. Ik luister graag naar muziek, maar soms kan de tekst je zo raken. Om welke reden dan ook.

TO trapt af. De zinnen die mij iedere keer weer tot tranen ontroeren zijn bold gemaakt.

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me
That's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's
The thing thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would

Fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break me heart again
Should I decide to stay

So little snowbird take me with you
When you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you

Wake me op when September ends van Green Day, zowel mijn moeder als schoonmoeder zijn we in september verloren.

Nu met kerst; white wine in the sun van Tim Minchin door de combinatie van humor en sentimenteel gedoe.
Een vriendin is al enkele jaren geleden overleden. Iedere jaar komen we samen en zingen heel hard dit ander nummer van Green day:

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.

1979 is inderdaad mooi. Toen ik ooit liefdesverdriet had vond ik I Can't Make You Love Me van Bonny Riatt ook ontroerend. Corny maar toch raak.
Ah die is prachtig ook..

1979 verwoord zo mooi mijn gevoel wat ik in mijn pubertijd voelde, beleefde..
Ik word er blij en verdrietig tegelijk van. Blij omdat het zo een leuke tijd was, verdrietig omdat het nooit meer terug komt.

Rocking in the free world- Neil Young

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light (near a garbage can)
Near a garbage can (near a garbage can)
And now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Celine Dion, My heart will go on.

Muziek is in feite ook emotie.
Voor iedere emotie is er wel muziek te vinden waarbij je je uit.
Beetje off topic, maar dit nummer vind ik bijvoorbeeld altijd zalig om te luisteren (en mee te schreeuwen) als ik woedend/ zwaar gefrustreerd ben:
Rage against the machine- killing in the name of (en dan vooral het laatste stuk):

Mijn partner heeft (jaren)lang in een flinke depressie gezeten, dit nummer heeft voor mij ook een speciale lading gekregen. Hij draaide dit nummer altijd om zijn gedachten te overstemmen in de tijden dat hij wanhopig was. Dit was een van de weinige nummers waar dat mee lukte. :)

Marco Borsato - Waarom nou jij
Sommige teksten van Marco Borsato zijn best OK, maar ik kan hem niet horen zingen. Hij zingt altijd minstens een halve octaaf te hoog voor zijn eigenlijke stembereik en daardoor klinkt het altijd erg geforceerd en geknepen, en soms zelfs regelrecht onzuiver.

De weg van Guus Meeuwis. Zeker toen ze hem speelden op de begrafenis van mijn veel te jong overleden tante.

When I'm feeling down
and find myself in trouble
sick and tired of all the daily cares
when I'm close to tears with bringing up the children
I recall the days when I was young

And then I say this little prayer
looking at your picture standing there

Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry"
for all the moments that I broke your heart
Mother, now I see what you've been going through
and that I am so much, so much like you

Different points of view
and other moral senses
bandied words, you solved it all so well
Now I follow you, it's not a bed of roses
many times I felt I was in hell

But then I said this little prayer
looking at your picture standing there

Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry"
for all the moments that I broke your heart
Mother, now I see what you've been going through
and that I am so much, so much like you

I wished that you were here again
to talk about it all
'cause now I need your wisdom most of all

Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry"
for all the moments that I broke your heart
Mother, now I see what you've been going through
and that I am so much, so much like you
(Oh mother don't you know? I miss you so)
Van wie is dit liedje? Ik ken het niet maar de tekst is prachtig.
Am Yisrael Chai!
Mijn kinderen vinden het heel leuk om dit liedje van Froukje mee te zingen.
Ik vind het een beetje naar, die vrolijke kinderstemmetjes en dan die tekst.
Trek het soms echt niet.

'Happy new year
De wereld staat in de fik
En ik zou het willen blussen
Maar het vuur is groter dan ik
En ik stik in
De time, time ticking
De tijd tijd tikt maar door
Happy new year
De wereld staat in de fik
En ik zou het willen blussen
Maar het vuur is groter dan ik
En ik stik in
De time, time ticking
De tijd tijd tikt maar door'

Voor mijn dochter die overleed net voor haar geboorte:

Uncharted - Kensington
En
Lullaby van Billy Joel.

De eerste omdat die precies beschrijft waar je terecht komt als je rouwt.

En de tweede omdat die zo liefdevol beschrijft wat ik aan mijn dochter had willen zeggen. :heart:

Lullaby
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what
You've been asking me
I think you know
What I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

[Verse 2]
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs
You sang for me
When we went sailing
On an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

[Verse 3]
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful
Your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

[Outro]
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you
And I will be

Maybe van Enrique Iglesias
If I come to you, If I run to you, dont tell me I’m to late...,

She’s all I ever had van Ricky Martin
Its the way she makes me feel, its the only thing thats real. Its the way she understand, she’s my lover, she’s my friend...

Ik moest vorige week tijdens het optuigen van de kerstboom ineens enorm huilen door "Oh Holy Night", en dan met name door dit vers:

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine


Het omschreef zo goed hoe ik me in deze Coronatijd wil voelen en de stem van Mariah Carey was zo hoopvol dat ik spontaan begon te huilen.

Keep your helmet, keep your life, son
Just a flesh wound, here's your rifle
Crawling up the beaches now
"Sir, I think he's bleeding out"
And some things you just can't speak about

With you, I serve
With you, I fall down, down
Watch you breathe in
Watch you breathing out, out

Something med school did not cover
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Holds your hand through plastic now
"Doc, I think she's crashing out"
And some things you just can't speak about

Only 20 minutes to sleep
But you dream of some epiphany
Just one single glimpse of relief
To make some sense of what you've seen

In mijn ogen het mooiste Kerstlied. Al vind ik de oorspronkelijke Franse versie (Minuit, Chrétien, c'est l'heure solemnelle) nog steeds het mooist.

Maar in het Engels: luister eens naar de versie van Mario Lanza. In mijn optiek nog steeds één van de mooiste.

En een ander gospel / kerstlied wat ik echt niet kan horen zonder te huilen is dit liedje.

[Verse 1]
We all want to make a place in this world
We all want to our voices to be heard
Every one wants a chance to be someone
We all have dreams we need to dream
Sweeter than any star you can reach
Because when you reach and find, you've found someone
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing
The greatest gift this life can bring
Is when you look back and know
You were loved

[Chorus]
You were loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Meant something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart
Along the way
You can look back and say (mm)
You were loved (yes you were)


[Verse 2]
You can have diamonds in your hands
Have all the riches in the land
But, without love
You don't really have a thing, no no
When somebody cares that you're alive
When somebody trusts you with their life
That's when you'll know (huh)
That you have all you need
You'll hold this world's most priceless gift
The finest treasure that there is
You can look back and know
You were loved

Is van Whitney Houston uit The Preacher's Wife en doet me enorm aan mijn moeder denken.

Nena - In meinem Leben

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SF4LD-pDe ... f5&index=5

In meinem Leben
Bin ich oft geflogen
Bin ich tief gefallen
Und manchmal auch ertrunken
Ich hab gewonnen
Und ich hab verloren
Und ich bin gestorben
Und wieder neu geboren
Ich hab gegeben
Und ich hab genommen
Wir haben uns gefunden
Wir sind so weit gekommen
Ich bin mir nah
Und immer wieder fremd
Das hat was von allein sein
Und das mich keiner kennt

Ich will nicht arm sein
Und Geld macht mich nicht reich
Manchmal ist Leben schwer
Und meistens finde ich es leicht
Ich hab geweint
Und ich hab gelacht
Und endlich rausgefunden
Was mich schöner macht
Ich hab getrunken
Und ich hab geraucht
Und ich hab meine Kräfte
Komplett aufgebraucht
Und wenn ich wieder
Auf die Beine komme
Ist immer wieder Leben

Ist immer wieder Sonne

Und hier bist du
Hältst meine Hand und lachst
Weil du mich besser kennst als ich
Ich bin verliebt in dich

Mein Leben will
Ich mir nicht vorstellen ohne dich

In meinem Leben
Bin ich oft geflogen
Ich hab auch schon gelogen
Und dich und mich betrogen
Ich flog hinauf zum Himmel
Und bin ganz tief gesunken
Und ich lass mich hängen
Und steh dann wieder auf
Ich leb so gesund
Und Drogen nehm ich auch
Ich zähl die Jahre

Und ich zähl sie nicht
Ich steh im Dunkeln
Und ich mag das Licht

Und hier bist du
Hältst meine Hand und lachst

Weil du mich besser kennst als ich
Ich bin verliebt in dich
Mein Leben will
Ich mir nicht vorstellen ohne dich

Ich liebe manche Menschen
Und manche lieben mich
Und die die mich nicht lieben
Die vermisse ich nicht
Ich liebe meine Kinder
Und ich liebe dich
Und manchmal fühl ich gar nichts

Dann fühl ich nicht mal mich
Ich wünsch mir Frieden
Und Gelassenheit
Ein Herz das immer warm ist
Ich bin noch nicht so weit

Freiheit tut mir gut
Ich tu mir manchmal weh
Ich fühl mich stark

Auch wenn ich gerade
Nicht so gerade steh
Meine Angst vorm Sterben
Verwandelt sich in Luft
Löst sich langsam auf
Weil mich das Leben ruft

Und hier bist du
Hältst meine Hand und lachst
Weil du mich besser kennst als ich
Ich bin verliebt in dich
Mein Leben will
Ich mir nicht vorstellen ohne dich
Mit dir will ich weiter und ich folge dir
Und du nimmst immer auch von mir
Ich bin verliebt in dieses Leben
Und ich bleib noch mal so lange hier
Bei dir
Ich bleib noch mal so lange hier
Bei dir

Is op Youtube te vinden: Mario Lanza, O holy night (oorspronkelijke titel is Cantique de Noel). Uiteraard "hoor" je dat de opname gedateerd is, die is al meer dan 60 jaar oud, maar het juichende in zijn stem ontroert me steeds weer. Laat me weten hoe jij het vond...

Het arrangement is wat te ouderwets voor mij, (logisch want het is gewoon al heel oud :) ) maar de stem is prachtig. Ik snap dat je het mooi vindt.

Uncharted

No one knows just what to say
It's like we're in uncharted territory
No one knows the proper way
It's like the ground has fallen from under me
And all sensible words
All sensible hearts
Oh, where do they go?
And why do they leave us now?
And if I could go back again
I'll go back again
If the worst is happening
How does anything work?
Now let me please go back again
I'll go back again
No one knows what part to play
It's like we're in uncharted territory
No one knows another way
It's like all grace in life has parted from me
And all sensible words
All sensible souls
Oh, where do they go?
And why do they leave us now?
And if I could go back again
I'll go back again
If the worst is happening
How does anything work?
Now let me please go back again
I'll go back again
And all the sensible words
All the sensible hearts
Keep calling for course
A heading or buoy
Could the end be a start?
All sensible souls
Oh, where do they go?
And why do they leave us now?
And if I could go back again
I'll go back again (I'll go back again, I'll go back again)
The worst is happening
How does anything work? (Work)
Now let me please go back again
I'll go back again (I'll go back again, I'll go back again)
And if I could go back again
I'll go back again (I'll go back again, I'll go back again)
The worst is happening
How does anything work? (Work)
Now let me please go back again
I'll go back again (I'll go back again, I'll go back again)
No one knows just what to say
It's like we're in uncharted territory
