BeyondBlue Theme Song

lookingforme — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:45:30 GMT

So, I've been going through a bit of a time lately, and I've been focused on that misery so much. Coming back on these forums was definitely a good idea, where you can be heard and listen to others, I can't explain what it means to me.

Anyway, I thought I would start a lighter thread, just to be a little less focused on misery I guess. I was on a run (or for what passes as a run for me), and I was thinking, what phrases or bits of songs that could pass for a theme song for BeyondBlue, in relation to how they/you helped me.

I came up with the following:

Charlie Puth; One Call away: "I'm only one call away. I'll be here to save the day. Superman got nothin' on me. I'm only one call away..."

Rudimental; Lay It All On Me: "All alone as you look through the door, nothing left to see. If it hurts and you can't take no more, lay it all on me. No you don't have to keep it under lock and key..."

Lupe Fiasco; The Show Goes On: "So no matter what you been through, no matter what you into, no matter what you see when you look outside your window. Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire, never ever put them down you just lift your arms higher. Raise 'em 'til your arms tired, let em' know you're there, that you struggling, survivin' that you gonna persevere yeah. Ain't no body leavin', no body goin' home, even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on."

Eminem; Not Afraid: "I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) to take a stand (to take a stand). Everybody (everybody), come take my hand (come take my hand). We'll walk this road together, through the storm, whatever weather, cold or warm. Just letting you know that you're not alone. Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road."

Sara Bareilles; Brave: "Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live. Maybe one of these days you can let the light in. Show me how big your brave is. Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out. Honestly, I wanna see you be brave with what you want to say and let the words fall out. Honestly I wanna see you be brave."

These are just a few. Music lets me feel a lot of what I'm already feeling, but also gives me a safe outlet for it. What do you think? Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't a stupid idea...

Hey Looking

This is an original and great thread. There is nothing stupid about having a new idea/topic and good on you!

Until I can get my head around any of my very daggy music and lyrics I will go with;

"Eminem; Not Afraid: "I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) to take a stand
(to take a stand). Everybody (everybody), come take my hand (come take
my hand). We'll walk this road together, through the storm, whatever
weather, cold or warm. Just letting you know that you're not alone.
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road."

Nice1 🙂

How about Gerry and The Pacemakers 'Walk hand In Hand With Me'. That's what we're all about.

How about James Taylor "You've got a friend" - When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. etc".

The Four Tops "Reach Out I'll Be There" - "Now if you feel that you can't go on (can't go on), Because all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone), And your life is filled with much confusion (much confusion),
Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion), And your world around is crumbling down, darlin'"etc. What great songs are coming out of this!

The Five StairSteps; Ooh Child: "Ooh-oo child things are gonna get easier. Ooh-oo child things'll get brighter. Ooh-oo child things are gonna get easier. Ooh-oo child things'll get brighter. Some day, yeah we'll get it together and we'll get it all done, some day when your head is much lighter. Some day, yeah we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun. Some day when the world is much brighter. Ooh-oo child things are gonna be easier. Ooh-oo child things'll get be brighter."

Mariah Carey; Hero: "There's a hero, if you look inside your heart, you don't have to be afraid of what you are. There's an answer if you reach into your soul, and the sorrow that you know will melt away. And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on, and you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive. So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong, and you'll finally see the truth; that a hero lies in you."

Eiffel 65 - Blue

It is one of the only songs I know that makes as much sense in Mandarin as it does in the English. How amazing.

Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush. 'Dont Give Up'

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's the a place
There's a place where we belong

One of the best songs I ever remember is John Farnham's 'You're The Voice"

We have the chance to turn the pages over, we got to make it right, before we get much older.

You're the voice, try and understand it, make a noise and make it clear, oh, wow, wow, wow

That's a great song Pipsy, very thematic.

Luhrmann's; The Sunscreen Song: "Brothers and sisters together we can make it throoough. One day your spirit will take you and guide you thereeee. I know you've been hurting but I've been waiting to be there for you. And one day we'll figure it out the best that we caaan..."

Morning Lynda 🙂

The Voice is a great track...with great lyrics. When it was released my Melbourne radio station MMMFM played it on high rotation for about 10 years...about 4 times a day. I might get it out again and have a listen now that its not being thrashed anymore 🙂

Great thread Joelle! For me, it's Tom Petty, Won't back down.

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down

You could stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground

And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around

I will stand my ground and I won't back down
