Wanted to write a separate post on each of these songs that moves me to a different plane. But that will take too long and the ode and my appreciation for these songs for helping me discover some of the different sides of me cannot wait.
2 songs per post
Please help me discover new music and songs that can be part of this series.
Music makes all the bad times easier and the good times better:) (cliche' but true)
High Hopes by Pink Floyd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqvcmud3LFQ
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
These 4 lines and the crescendo of this song always take me higher, it gives true meaning to the words psychedelic rock!
Gravity by John mayer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VBex8zbDRs
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
...
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
The depth of meaning explained in such simple words that can be universally understood. And the feeling of blues and vibes that the music sets you up while the words catch up to sweep you off your feet makes this song a great one.

For a music lover that you are i am surprised that you restricted yourself to such few words. Nice post. Will listen to Gravity for sure :)
@aakanksha it was very very very difficult not to comment and try to explain and make everyone understand why these are such immortal words and why the music (especially High hopes) could and should replace all psychedelic substances out there, but I realized that songs have the power to eke out special meaning to every listener and there is no point tainting that pure feeling :)
so now we both have paid our tribute to 'high hopes' thru our blogs..!
High Hopes is just brilliant --- Love how the lyrics relate to every1 of us at any point of time ... The 4 lines highlighted by u which form the crux of the song and also ---
"Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us"
Heard Gravity for the first time now and believe you me ... i m a fan already ... beautiful song and lyrics !
Waiting for Part 2 / 3 / etc.
