    Im sure many of you have found similarities between music lyrics and some episode of your life. I have several, but the most recent one is what I want to share. I used to date a girl for 8 months then we broke up one of the reasons being her 8 month trip to London, now shw is back and we are going out etc.. I consider myself to be a much better person now then when we used to date and the Romeo & Juliet song by Dire Straits is about a couple that broke up and its sung as if its the point of view of the man trying to get back together.

    Here are the lyrics:
    A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade
    Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
    Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
    Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

    Juliet says hey its romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
    Hes underneath the window shes singing hey la my boyfriends back
    You shouldnt come around here singing up at people like that
    Anyway what you gonna do about it ?

    Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
    And I bet and you exploded in my heart
    And I forget the movie song
    When you wanna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

    Come up on differents streets they both were streets of shame
    Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
    And I dreamed your dream for you and your dream is real
    How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals ?

    Where you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
    You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
    You promised me everything you promised me think and thin
    Now you just says oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

    Juliet when we made love you used to cry
    You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die
    Theres a place for us you know the movie song
    When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

    I cant do the talk like they talk on tv
    And I cant do a love song like the way its meant to be
    I cant do everything but Id do anything for you
    I cant do anything except be in love with you

    And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
    All do is keep the beat and bad company
    All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
    Julie Id do the stars with you any time

    Juliet when we made love you used to cry
    You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die
    Theres a place for us you know the movie song
    When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

    A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade
    Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
    Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
    Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

    Most lyrics are written to reflect on a part of the writer's life, and as we as humans are not always so diverse in our life experiences as we think, we connect with the words spectacularly.

    Rusted Root- Laugh as the Sun

    I get so nervous when the spirits hide
    I can't wait 'til that bright light shines again

    Never did run
    Never did hide
    Waiting to see your bright light shine
    We'll wait 'til the morning comes
    We'll laugh as the sun
    Bright and loud
    Hah hah hah

    well basically all songs reffer to life or some sort. there is lots of dead songs that im sure reffered to other peoples lives and lots of other bands too.

    I wanna feel like Sabra Cadabra. :) I get quite that feeling again just when listening to that song, and it leaves me with a happy feeling too, but wouldn't it be great to spend all your days feeling blissful like this?:

    Feel so good I feel so fine
    Love that little lady always on my mind
    She gives me loving every night and day
    Never gonna leave her, never going away

    Someone to love me
    You know she makes me feel alright
    Someone to need me
    Love me every single night

    Feel so happy since I met that girl
    When we're making love it's something out of this world
    Feels so good to know that she's all mine
    Going to love that woman 'til the end of time

    Someone to live for
    Love me 'til the end of time
    Makes me feel happy
    Good to know that she's all mine

    Lovely lady make love all night long
    Lovely lady never do me wrong
    I don't wanna leave ya
    I never ganna leave ya,
    anymore no more

    Lovely lady, mystifying eyes
    Lovely lady, she don't tell me no lies
    I know I'll never leave ya
    I'm never gonna leave ya anymore no more

    I never said it is some sort of unusual coincidence that the lyrics to a song meets a time of your life, it obviousely happens all the time, I just wanted to share one of mine and read about others. But either I did not expressed myself correctly or you people did not realy understand.

    No worries, I understood it right! It's just that that one came to mind, but it refers only to a very small part of my life, haha. I'm sure it will change though!

    Songs always remind me of girls. Even if they have no lyrics

    That's a dank song (the Dire Staits one). They were a great band... even if they did look a little geeky.
