Name ONE song you'd take with you...

... to a deserted island, and why. Oh, and if you want, post the lyrics too;).

La Mer - Charles Trenet. Fits the atmosphere perfectly, I simply love it.

Lyrics don't really do the song justice. You should listen to it first.

La mer,
The Sea,
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs,
That one sees dancing along the clear gulfs,
A des reflets d'argent.
Has silver reflections.
La mer,
The Sea,
Des reflets changeants,
Changing reflections,
Sous la pluie.
Under the rain.

La mer,
The Sea,
Au ciel d'été confond,
In the summer sky merge,
Ses blancs moutons,
Their white sheep,
Avec les anges si purs,
With such pure angels,
La mer bergère d'azur
The sea, shepherdess of azure
Infinie.
Infinite.

Voyez
See
Près des étangs
Close to the ponds
Ces grands roseaux mouillés
These large wet reeds
Voyez
See
Ces oiseaux blancs
These white birds
Et ces maisons rouillées
And these rusted houses

La mer
The Sea
Les a bercés
Has rocked them
Le long des golfes clairs
Along the clear gulfs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
And with a song of love
La mer
The Sea
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie.
Has soothed my heart for life.

Walking is Still Honest by Against Me! from their Crime EP. That version sounds better.

I don't feel like censoring the F word in the song so I won't post the lyrics.

Eagles - Take it easy.

The longest version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly that I can find.

just something to chill out to

The song of your voice. :oops:

Which happens to sound awesome, by the way.

Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad

Linked for your pleasure

Bling - The Killers

That song always gives me hope, plus it describes the atmosphere of being alone.

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go..."bling".

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
shut up Poor and tired,
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon,
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
(??) Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go..."bling".

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Shut up poor and tired,
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher. (x2)

Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...

It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

Ok, great song, but why the HELL would you take that to a deserted island?

Billy Talent - Devil on my Shoulder

As I get closer,
my dreams get farther.
I climb that ladder,
but you kick it over.
Thirsty for water,
you give me vinegar.
When I drink your medicine,
it just makes me sicker.

I dug a hole so deep,
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes.
Can't even sell my soul,
it ain't worth **** today.

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

Follow that rainbow,
my lucky omen.
There ain't no pot of gold,
Just got more tokens.
I found the key to life,
the lock was broken.
All my accomplishments,
are best left unspoken.

I dug a hole so deep,
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes.
Can't even sell my soul,
it ain't worth **** today.

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

My horrible story,
is nearly over.
I said I'm sorry,
But I was sober.
I'd beg for mercy,
I'm already full of it.
Come on and drop some nails,
into my coffin.

I got the devil on my shoulder...
I got the devil on my shoulder...
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over. (over and over)
I got a devil on my shoulder (over and over)

Tool - Lateralus

Queens Of The stone age - Make it Wit Chu

Echoes from Pink Floyd. It's about 23 and a half minutes, and it is awesome.

"Blackbird," "Paperback Writer," "We Can Work it Out," "Dear Prudence," "Eleanor Rigby," "Something" or "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles. I can listen to any of these songs for hours and not get tired of them.

"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" by Porcupine Tree.

Souja Boy- Turn My Swag On

Jk

probably the Mortal Kombat theme song

System of a Down - Lonely Day

Keep The Faith - Bon Jovi

My favourite song EVER!

Strauss - Im Abendrot.

I talk to the wind - King Crimson

I wouldn't be worrying about anything with this playing.

On the Outside - Oingo Boingo

They laugh at me aloud
They say I'm just a clown
That I ain't got no pride
I'm on the outside
The girls look really cute
They really make it work
They think I'm just a jerk
I'm on the outside
I never could sit still
I never was too hip
I never caught the ride
I'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now
This is where it all begins right here
On the outside lookin' in, I'm on the outside

I never was a punk
I never shot junk
I never even tried counter
Culture passed me right by
(I'm on the outside)

Don't talk to debutantes
Don't eat in restaurants
The patrons sit and stare
The waiters make wise cracks behind my back
(I'm on the outside)

Teachers there in school
They flunked me by the rule
They say I had no motivation, brains or dedication
I guess the imbeciles were right I'm on the outside

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now
This is where it all begins on the outside looking in
Looking in
At you
I'm just an alien through and through
Tryin' to make believe I'm you
Tryin' to fit
Just a stranger on the outside looking in

The disco makes me sick I
Wear the wrong clothes
I say the wrong things
You know I can't dance
My feet are much too wide (I'm on the outside)

You think you set the trends
You wear your hair just right
Your clothes are out-a-sight
Your house is modern really kitch
You get so macho when you're with your ****
(I'm on the outside)

I see them go to work
I see them go to sleep
I see them on T.V.
I see them laugh and cry
I'm on the outside. I'm on the outside. I'm on the outside

(Repeat chorus)

I'm on the outside. I'm on the outside now
I'm on the outside
I'm on the outside now

Haddaway-What is love

I'd take any track from Miles Davis at Fillmore (1970). Every track is over 20 minutes long, and any one of them is filled with more musical creativity and genius than most professional musicians achieve during a lifetime.

edit, I'm talking about the original, vinyl release. Not the butchered cd release that was issued during the 90s.

It's a tie between this....

Dear Prudence - The Beatles

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue.
It's beautiful and so are you.

Dear Prudence won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence open up your eyes.
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies.
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything.

Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?
Look around round
Look around round round
Look around.

Dear Prudence let me see you smile.
Dear Prudence like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain.
So let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

And this....

Dirty And Left Out - The Almost

Hello, I swear I won't be too long
Hello, I promise I'll be real strong
Wait up, I just wanna tell you
Hold up, why are you still here?

I've been dirtier than you wanna know
I've left earlier than you'll ever know

Why do, you wanna be all listenin' to me
Why do, you spread your arms and tell me I'm free
Why do, you wanna be in my life
In my life

I've been dirtier than you wanna know
I've left earlier than you'll ever know

Jesus, tease us
There's something about your name
Master, saviour, Jesus

I've been dirtier than you wanna know
I've left earlier than you'll ever know
Jesus
Jesus

_______________________

Both are beautiful songs that I could listen to on an infinite loop forever.

I'd probably go with Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath. That song gets me pumped up every time I hear it, and I'd definitely need some motivation if I were all by myself.

Hallowed be thy Name - Iron Maiden

fireal.

We are beggers, where blown
And I will meet you, fourth floor
Then we'll make up, no

No fist to **** save you from
No fist to **** save you from
No fist to **** save you from
You knock me out

I'll take the burden full blown
And then we'll, I'll be there, no
Do you think I care?

No fist to **** save you from
No fist to **** save you from
No fist to **** save you from
You knock me out

No fist to **** save you from
No fist to **** save you from
No fist to **** save you from

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

Everything felt good
Everything was right at first
When I was so curbed you know, maddog
Life before I would shine down unshy
It comes from the first one I
While I watched you
Makes me sick, makes me go
I would shine
I want to be much then more
While I watch you
Life before I would shine down unshy
I want to be much then more
While I watch you
Life before I would shine down unshy
I want to be much then more, while I watch you
I wanna be much then more, while I watch you
I want to be much more, while I watch you
I want to be much more, while I watch you
I, much more, while I watch you
I want to be much then more, while I watch you

Reasons: Spiral into clinical depression and off myself. I don´t want to spend the rest of my days on an island.
