What song best captures your feelings about the direction of the program?

Submitted by Eye of the Tiger on

 

 

For me it's "New Dawn Fades" by Joy Division.

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.
We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time,
Hoping for something else.

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Lunatic fringe

I know you're out there

You're in hiding

And you hold your meetings



I can hear you coming

We know what you're after

We're wise to you this time

We won't let you kill the laughter



Lunatic fringe

In the twilight's last gleaming

This is open season

But you won't get too far



'Cause you gotta blame someone

For your own confusion

But I'm on guard this time

Against your final solution



We can hear you coming

No you're not going to win this time

We can hear the footsteps

Out along the walkway



Lunatic fringe

We all know you're out there

Can you feel the resistance?

Can you feel the thunder?

Either that Or:

And it's been awhile

Since I could hold my head up high

And it's been awhile

Since I first saw you

And it's been awhile

Since I could stand on my own two feet again

And it's been awhile

Since I could call you



And everything I can't remember

As fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I've rendered

I've stretched myself beyond my means



And it's been awhile

Since I can say that I wasn't addicted

And it's been awhile

Since I can say I love myself as well

And it's been awhile

Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do

And it's been awhile

But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you



And everything I can't remember

As fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I've rendered

I've gone and fucked things up again



Why must I feel this way?

Just make this go away

Just one more peaceful day!



And it's been awhile

Since I could look at myself straight

And it's been awhile

Since I said I'm sorry

And it's been awhile

Since I've seen the way the candles light your face

And it's been awhile

But I can still remember just the way you taste



And everything I can't remember

As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me

I cannot blame this on my father

He did the best he could for me



And it's been awhile

Since I could hold my head up high

And it's been awhile

Since I said I'm sorry

Dog died

Truck repossessed

Wife left me

Lost my job

Sum it all up, that would pretty well articulate how I'm feeling about this program.

The eastern world, it is exploding

Violence flarin', bullets loadin'

You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'

You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'

And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'



But you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe

We're on the eve

of destruction.



Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say

Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?

If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away

There'll be no one to save, with the world in a grave

[Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]



And you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe

We're on the eve

of destruction.



Yeah, my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin'

I'm sitting here just contemplatin'

I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation.

Handful of senators don't pass legislation

And marches alone can't bring integration

When human respect is disintegratin'

This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'



And you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe

We're on the eve

of destruction.



Think of all the hate there is in Red China

Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama

You may leave here for 4 days in space

But when you return, it's the same old place

The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace

You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace

Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace

And, tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend

You don't believe

We're on the eve

Of destruction

Mm, no no, you don't believe

We're on the eve

of destruction.

I am a poor freezingly cold soul

So far from where

I intended to go

Scavenging through life's very constant lulls

So far from where I'm determined to go



Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love

There is no way ...

I wish I had the charm to attract the one I love

But you see, I've got no charm

Oh ...





Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold

Oh, this is very clear to you

And you can tell I have never really loved

You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day





And all of my life no-one gave me anything

No-one has ever given me anything, ah ...

My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye

You must be such a fool

To pass me by

I was thinking Girlfriend in a Coma, but Miserable Lie and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now also work. And if you alter Panic just slightly to "Hang the DB"...

Could also throw in What Difference Does it Make and Never Had No One Ever.

Toward the end of the season when the coaching search talk is (presumably) in full swing, I'm sure we'll have more than our fill of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want, maybe a little This Charming Man, and (of course more) I Want the One I Can't Have.

I asked you a question, but I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy? But then I realized
Is it gettin' heavy? Well, I thought it was
Already as heavy as can be
 
Is it overwhelming to use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman to lift the sun into the sky
'Cause it's gettin' heavy, well, I thought it was
Already as heavy as can be
 
Tell everybody, waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on the best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
 
'Cause it's gettin' heavy, well, I thought it was
Already as heavy as can be
 
Tell everybody, waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on the best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

A couple years ago I did a season review using Iron Maiden songs. I'm considering doing the same thing for this season, but every game would be summed up by this song. (Except the first game, I'd use Hey Porter by Cash. There's so much hopeful anticipation captured by that song. And then it's all pain.)

"Hurt"

(originally by Nine Inch Nails)



I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything



[Chorus:]

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt



I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here



[Chorus:]

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt



If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

This song is for the rats

Who hurled themselves into the ocean

When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold

Were just about to blow



This song is for the soil

That's toxic clear down to the bedrock

Where no thing of consequence can grow

Drop your seeds there, let them go



Let them all go

Let 'em all go



This song is for the people

Who tell their families that they're sorry

For things they can't

And won't feel sorry for



And once there was a desk

And now it's in a storage locker somewhere

And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons

I left in the top drawer



Let 'em all go

Let 'em all go



I wanna sing one for the cars

That are right now headed silent down the highway

And it's dark and there is nobody driving

And something has got to give



I saw you waiting by the roadside

You didn't know that I was watching

Now you know

Let it all go



Let 'em all go

Let it all go
