    Live like you were dyin’ – Tim McGraw

    He said I was in my early forties
    with a lot of life before me
    when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
    and I spent most of the next days
    looking at the x-rays
    Talking bout the options
    and talking bout sweet time
    I asked him when it sank in
    that this might really be the real end
    how’s it hit you when you get that kinda news
    man what’d you do

    and he said
    I went sky diving
    I went Rocky Mountain climbing
    I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
    and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
    and I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
    and he said someday I hope you get the chance
    to live like you were dying.

    He said I was finally the husband
    that most the time I wasn’t
    and I became a friend a friend would like to have
    and all the sudden going fishin
    wasn’t such an imposition
    and I went three times that year I lost my dad
    well I finally read the good book
    and I took a good long hard look
    at what I’d do if I could do it all again

    and then
    I went sky diving
    I went Rocky Mountain climbing
    I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
    and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
    and I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
    and he said someday I hope you get the chance
    to live like you were dying.

    Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
    what’d you do with it what did you do with it
    what did I do with it
    what would I do with it?

    Sky diving
    I went Rocky Mountain climbing
    I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
    and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
    and I watched an eagle as it was flying
    and he said someday I hope you get the chance
    to live like you were dying.
    To live like you were dying
    To live like you were dying
    To live like you were dying
    To live like you were dying

    How Come The World Won’t Stop – Anastacia

    hmmm

    Somebody told me
    you were not coming home
    the words are spinnin’ in time
    and the air suddenly went cold

    The sun is still shining
    but everything feels like rain, oh
    and if I had one wish
    it would be to see you again

    Nothing’s fair
    when we loose
    without a moment to say goodbye

    How come the world won’t stop spinning
    now that you’re gone (now that you’re gone)
    I know every end has beginnings
    but this one’s all wrong (this one’s all wrong)
    so wrong, so wrong

    Caught in the middle
    wrong place, wrong time
    and I’m hopelessly missing you
    and I can’t stop deny

    Nothing’s fair anymore
    and I know there’s a better place
    and I’ll never stop dreaming of you
    ooooh

    How come the world won’t stop spinning
    (now that you’re gone) now that you’re gone
    I know every end has beginnings
    but this one’s all wrong (this one’s all wrong)
    so wrong, so wrong

    How can the seasons keep changing
    since you disappeared
    oh yeah
    (tell me) how come the world won’t stop
    how come the world won’t stop

    Sweet tears are shed
    this pain we lay to rest
    it’s hard lettin’ go
    but I keep movin’ on
    in a place I don’t belong

    How come the world (stop spinning)
    said now that you’re gone
    I know every end has beginning
    said this one’s all wrong
    said this one’s all wrong
    (how can the seasons) keep changing
    since you disappeared
    oh, you’re gone
    you’re gone
    how come the world won’t stop
    how come the world won’t stop

    How come the world won’t stop spinning
    now that you’re gone
    yeah heya
    I know every end has beginning
    but this one’s all wrong
    so wrong

    Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own – U2

    Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
    You’re telling me and anyone
    You’re hard enough

    You don’t have to put up a fight
    You don’t have to always be right
    Let me take some of the punches
    For you tonight

    Listen to me now
    I need to let you know
    You don’t have to go it alone

    And it’s you when I look in the mirror
    And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
    Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

    We fight all the time
    You and I…that’s alright
    We’re the same soul
    I don’t need…I don’t need to hear you say
    That if we weren’t so alike
    You’d like me a whole lot more

    Listen to me now
    I need to let you know
    You don’t have to go it alone

    And it’s you when I look in the mirror
    And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
    Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

    I know that we don’t talk
    I’m sick of it all
    Can – you – hear – me – when – I –
    Sing, you’re the reason I sing
    You’re the reason why the opera is in me…

    Where are we now?
    I’ve still got to let you know
    A house still doesn’t make a home
    Don’t leave me here alone…

    And it’s you when I look in the mirror
    And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
    Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
    Sometimes you can’t make it
    The best you can do is to fake it
    Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

    D.O.A. – Foo Fighters

    Yeah, you know I did it
    It’s over and I feel fine
    Nothing you can say is gonna change my mind
    Waited, and i wait the longest night
    Nothing like the taste of sweet decline

    I went down and i fell, i fell so fast
    Dropping like the grains in an hour glass
    Never say forever ’cause nothing lasts
    Dancing with the bones of my buried past

    Never mind there’s nothing I could do
    Bet your life there’s something killing you.

    It’s a shame we have to die my dear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time
    What a way to go but have no fear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time

    I’m finished, i’m getting you off my chest
    Made you come clean in a dirty dress
    A promise is a promise you kept in check
    Hard to cross a heart that beats its best

    Take a good hard look for the very last time
    The very last one in a very long line.
    Only took a second to say goodbye
    Been a pleasure, but the pleasure’s been mine all mine

    Never mind there’s nothing I could do
    Bet your life there’s something killing you.

    It’s a shame we have to die my dear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time
    What a way to go but have no fear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time

    Ain’t no way
    D.O.A
    Ain’t no way
    D.O.A

    Take a good hard look for the very last time
    The very last one in a very long line
    Only took a second to say goodbye
    Been a pleasure, but the pleasure’s been mine all mine

    Never mind there’s nothing I could do
    Bet your life there’s something killing you.

    It’s a shame we have to die my dear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time
    What a way to go but have no fear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time

    It’s a shame we have to disappear
    No-one’s getting out of here alive
    This time
    This time
    This time

    Somebody’s Watching Me – Warmen [Originally performed by Rockwell]

    I’m just an average man with an average life
    I work from nine to five, hey hell I pay the price
    But I want is to be left alone in my average home
    But why do I always feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone

    I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
    And I have no privacy
    I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
    Is it just a dream?

    When I come home at night
    I lock the door real tight
    People call me on the phone I’m trying to avoid
    Well, can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid

    When I’m in the shower, I’m afraid to wash my hair
    I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
    People say I’m crazy, just a little touched
    But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
    That’s why…

    I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
    And I have no privacy
    I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
    Is it just a dream?

    I don’t know anymore
    Are the neighbors watching me
    Well is the mailman watching me
    And I don’t feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
    I wonder who’s watching me now?
    Who?
    The IRS?

    I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
    And I have no privacy
    I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me
    Is it just a dream?

    Spank me – Apulanta

    Spank me…
    Spank me…

    Your dirty finger seems to make me happy
    Now the shining ones are pointing at me

    And they all say, you are not alone here
    So they all say, so they say to me

    Spank me, hey turn me over baby
    Spank me, hey turn me over baby
    Spank me, hey would you do it to me

    The visitors in my head keep telling me
    I fought the world but it’s not for us to see

    And they all say, say that I’m an angel
    So they all say, so they say to me

    Spank me, hey turn me over baby
    Spank me, hey turn me over baby
    Spank me, hey would you do it to me

    That kind of love is all that you’ve been living for
    Inside your mind there is a room that has no door

    That kind of love is all that you’ve been waiting for
    Your happy friend will make it all right here

    Spank me, hey turn me over baby
    Spank me, hey turn me over baby
    Spank me, hey would you do it to me

    Why don’t you do it to me

    Somebody to Love – Jim Carrey [Originally performed by Jefferson Airplane]

    When the truth is found to be lies
    And all the joys within you dies

    Don’t you want somebody to love
    Don’t you need somebody to love
    Wouldn’t you love somebody to love
    You better find somebody to love

    When the garden flowers, they are dead, yes
    And your mind is so full of dread

    Don’t you want somebody to love
    Don’t you need somebody to love
    I’d really like somebody to love
    But it’s hard to find somebody to love

    Your eyes, I say your eyes, they look like his
    But in your head baby
    I’m afraid you don’t know where it is

    Don’t you want somebody to love
    Don’t you need somebody to love
    Wouldn’t you love somebody to love
    You better find somebody to love

    Tears are running, running in your bed
    And your friends baby, they treat you like a guest

    Don’t you want somebody to love
    Don’t you need somebody to love
    I’d really like somebody to love
    But it’s hard to find somebody to love

    tänä iltana ei tuu pakkeja
    (tonight I’ won’t get dumped)

    Teen mitä vaan, pumppaan rautaa, juosten kierrän maan
    Jos niin mä saan sinut innostumaan
    Teen sulle sen pienen tempun vanhanaikaisen
    Oon pelimies kovakuntoinen
    (I’ll do anything, push iron, run around the world
    If that’s the way to get you excited
    I’ll make a little old fashion trick to you
    I am a player in a good fit)

    Tahdon koskettaa (koskettaa)
    voin sen tunnustaa (tunnustaa)
    Saanko ehdottaa (ehdottaa)
    iltaa kanssani?
    (I want to touch
    that I can confess
    May I suggest
    a night with me?)

    Tule niin vien sinut kahville
    ja nakkikioskille jatkoille
    siitä taksiin ja saatille
    tänä iltana ei tuu pakkeja
    Na-na-na-naa-na-na-nan-nan-naa…
    tänä iltana ei tuu pakkeja
    (Come and I’ll take you the coffee shop
    and grill to an after party
    tonight I’ won’t get dumped…)

    On joku muu, joka kuvioihin kompastuu
    Oon pelimies, lähden uuteen nousuun
    Muut väsähtää, venyy aamuyölle tunnit nää
    Vain yksi jää silloin iskemään
    (Some one else would get mixed up with his moves
    I’m player, going to another rice
    Others get tired, these hours become am
    Only one stays to hit on others)

    Tahdon koskettaa (koskettaa)
    voin sen tunnustaa (tunnustaa)
    Saanko ehdottaa (ehdottaa)
    iltaa kanssani?

    Tänä iltana olen voittaja,
    liha on vahvaa kun liha on heikkoa
    Rintani hakkaa kuin rummunsoittaja,
    mut tänä iltana olen voittaja
    Tänä iltana aion toimia,
    näyttää sisäisen eläimeni voimia
    Ihanaa hirvet ja ihanaa leijonat,
    tänä iltana juhlii voittajat
    (tonight I’m a winner
    muscle is strong when muscle is weak
    my chest beats like a drummer
    but tonight I’m a winner
    tonight I’m going to do it
    show the powers of my inner animal
    wonderfull elks and wonderfull lions
    tonight winners celebrate)

    Tahdon koskettaa (koskettaa)
    voin sen tunnustaa (tunnustaa)
    Saanko ehdottaa (ehdottaa)

    I knew people in Finland get depressed in the winter but there’s no need to make the rest of us suicidal Beattie. Reading these makes me think of my poor old mum who left us a couple of years ago. She never got the chance to go sky-diving of course cos the NHS thought she needed a hip-replacement instead of her cancerous ovaries hoiked out and by the time they found out it was too late. They don’t write songs about things like that of course. I do sympathise with you Beattie but you made me cry (in a manly way of course) reading that and I don’t want to cry anymore. I think you have posted a fitting tribute here, I really do but I think these will make an awful lot of people shed tears.

No more please???????

    terrible to hear :(
    this is just because it’s been exactly one year of a terrible car accident that took away 6 of my friends, I wanted to remember them in a way since I didn’t go to church with others (not going there in any occasion)

    but don’t worry, I’m not going to “sing” only sad songs. There are many good memories :wink:

    and to make this thing clear, we finns don’t get depressed in winter …we are depressed all the time :twisted:
