I'm not sure I just recall having to ask on another forum. Hey but this is buzzjack so maybe I'll just start threads and pip can delete any that aren't OK

Sounds like a good idea to me :thumbup:

 

Lots of his lyrics mean different things to me, I can't really choose an absolute favourite. But for the purpose of this thread I will select

 

Sometimes.... you don't win gold, you don't win silver

At the right time.... you'll find bronze makes you the winner :)

Lovely B.P. I love that song and better still, the later revamp of it

 

For me those lines sum up Darius's beliefs that there are plenty of opportunities in life, if we just grab them. We may not get what we wish for but something better, if we just believe in ourselves.

 

It's the same philosophy that runs through Dive In which always snaps me out of any negative or pessimistic thoughts.

 

I love the way Darius uses some old fashioned words in his songs like happenstance for example.

Just keep posting..................there are loads that are fantastic and should be posted :thumbup:

Take me to the place

Where I don't know

If my heart beats

Cause the only things I hear

Are the secrets that you whisper in my ear

 

So take my words

Know what my faith is

Let's hide from the World

With summer thoughts of twilight places

Take this kiss

Wrap it with your delicate love

 

If you want me

Take me as I am

And I give you

Everything I have

Even if all I have is my dream

"You never know

What life will bring

Trust your spirit

Find your wings

Find your voice

(And free it.) - Love this bit.

 

{And} let it sing

Let it sing"

 

Mocking Bird

It's getting late

Can't hesitate

Can't let the moment slip away

I can't leave

My heart keeps telling me

It's now or never

Don't you ever

Be afraid to make mistakes

Take a chance

You won't regret it

It's now or never

Don't wait until tomorrow

 

I think the next line is considered in a quite a few relationships especially when they start with friendship

 

Is a kiss just a kiss ?

Or will it change the way we are ?

I know how it feels to be rejected

Because I care

I couldn't bear

To lose the friend I've learmed to love

To lose you when I've yearned so much

To touch you

I'm bearing my soul

I'm losing control

But I need to know

 

can't you just feel the pain

 

beautiful song...should have been on the album...even a single

 

 

If you want me

Take me as I am

And I give you

Everything I have

Even if all I have is my dream

I know how it feels to be rejected

These are my favorite two lyrics and also among my favorite songs. I love the honesty and the plea. It reminds me of early love. I think I'll always love these

oh yes, those lyrics from secret song, they make me well up every time I hear them, so straight from his heart, they connect on such a personal direct level

 

If you want me

Take me as I am

And I give you

Everything I have

Even if all I have is my dream

:cry: Gulp!

 

"You're out of breath, out of patience,

Out of mind

They cut you with words and lies.

You wish you could just close your eyes and leave behind

The jealousy. Wish they could see the hurt inside."

Put your faith in me Im solid ground

Your faith in me won't let you down

When you believe you'll laugh out loud

Your faith in me won't let you down girl

Come with me

Yeah .....

 

That just makes me want to cheer!!

 

But the bit in the verse ......

 

They tell you who to love, tell you who to rate

50 ways to leave your lover, write the rules for gettin' laid

 

So true .. trying to live our lives according to Heat, Lady Victoria Newton ... and the rest of the popular media just screws your head up. I am so very glad we dont have a "news" section here ..... it can be so depressing the way our man gets treated This song is just two fingers to the lot of them!!

 

I think Faith in Me is one of the cleverest songs he has ever written and should have been released as an A side. It was better than Kinda Love anyday

"If you want it, then you got it -

Don't let this moment pass you by,

Take a long shot

Give it all you've got -

You'll never know unless you try"

 

 

I still love Simple Like The Truth and especially

 

It's not that I'm weak

Baby I can take it

It's not that I'm blind -

I can see you fake it

If you only knew

What I'm going through

Then you'd find the words to whisper

Or you'd find the strength to leave.

Mmm I love that too

 

 

 

...and..

 

I love you

You love me

But you never say that to me

 

....reminds me to say it to my husband a bit more frequently

"Wondering if you can hide

From the black you feel inside

Memories lie scattered on the floor

Like petals

And you scream for light

In your mind"

 

Butterfly Spirit

To me that comprehensively sums up depression, when the black swallows up everything, the good and the bad and you have to let the light in yourself because no-one else can get through to you unless you let them.

 

Darius probably meant something entirely different when he wrote it but I like the way his lyrics are always open to different interpretations in response to our own experiences and emotions.

 

It's a pity most of the GBP don't bother to listen to lyrics other than a few words of songs, often rightly termed the hook.
