So I had another idea for a playlist. This one is composed of the songs that I think have some of the hardest-hitting single lines or couplets in my entire inventory. I'm just getting started with this one, but here's what I've got so far:
I Hope You Dance, Leann Womack (this song was actually the inspiration for the entire list): "When you get the chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance"
I Got a Name, Jim Croce: "And I carry a name just like my Daddy did, but I'm living the dream that he kept hid"
Living on a Prayer, Bon Jovi: "Take my hand, we'll make it I swear"
Leader of the Band, Dan Fogelberg: "Papa I don't think I said 'I love you' near enough"
Better Days, Goo Goo Dolls: "'Cause I don't need boxed wrapped in strings and designer love and empty things, just a chance that maybe we'll find better days",
AND: "And the one poor child who saved this world and there's ten million more that probably could if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them"
Imagine, John Lennon: "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one."
Pride (in the Name of Love), U2: "They took your life, they could not take your Pride"
A Boy Named Sue, Johnny Cash: "You ought to thank me before I die for the gravel in your gut and the spit in your eye, 'cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue"
Hurt, Nine Inch Nails: "I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel"
Fix You, Coldplay: "Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones"
Our House, Crosby Stills & Nash: "Life used to be so hard, now everything is easy 'cause of you."
Good Man, India.Arie: "Your daddy lived for you and your daddy died for you and I'd do the same"
I'm going to keep looking for more, but not tonight.
