Oh, wow. That song is amazing, ibidyouwelcome!

[phantomgirl110]

Dude, this post is like a journey through all the pop music I ever liked, from my past (*NSYNC, Britney) to my present (Clay, Kelly).


"You Found Me" by Kelly Clarkson includes: You found me / When no one else was lookin' / How did you know just where I would be? / Yeah, you broke through / All of my confusion / The ups and the downs / And you still didn't leave / I guess that you saw what nobody could see / You found me / You found me

"Run to Me" by Clay Aiken includes: As soon as you get that feeling / You can start to live again / As soon as the worst is over / You can make it all make sense / Right now I can't give you what you need / As soon as you get that feeling... run to me

"That's When I'll Stop Loving You" by *NSYNC includes: I'm sure you've heard these words before / And I know it's hard for you to trust them once more / You're afraid it all might end / And a broken heart is scared of breaking again / But you've gotta believe me / I'll never leave you / You'll never cry long as I am there / And I will always be there / You will never be without love

"Something Like You" by *NSYNC includes: So many times I thought I held it in my hands / but just like grains of sand / love slipped through my fingers / so many nights I asked the Lord above / Please make me lucky enough to find a love that lingers / Something keeps telling me that you could be my answered prayer / you must be heaven sent, I swear

"I Will Be There" by Britney Spears includes: Come on over here / Let me show how things should be / I will make it alright / Let me make it clear / You can put your trust in me / Yes I will be there

Great songs Roxie..I wish I could find more guess I should start looking

Here are a couple from Ace of Base I was just going through an album and these just hit me
Angel Eyes -http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/aceofbase/angeleyes.html
The very first stanza
I know that I'm not the first one
You've had love in your path before me
But when your lips touched my lips
It felt like I was kissing destiny

And Experience Pearls -http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/aceofbase/experiencepearls.html

Let me turn all the tears
That you have cried into pearls
Hand them over to me
I'm gonna keep, keep them for you

I want to hold you
I want to kiss you

I want to mend what is broken
Love me the way that you loved her - please
'Cause now I'm giving it all

Meg wants Erik to love her to take all the tears he cried and turn them into something wonderful. What do you think?

[phantomgirl110]

I recently heard "If I Never Knew You" from Disney's Pocahontas, and the lyrics made me think of the E/M pairing for some reason:

(Underlined parts reminds me the most of Erik and Meg.)

"If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we made the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing
We were right

If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last...

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light

And still my heart is singing
We were right

We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you"

The song can be downloaded here, if you're interested in hearing it. It's lovely.

*sigh* wonderful song maybe i'll listento it sometime

[Little Giry]

Nice selection of songs there, everyone.

[phantomgirl110]

I finally found a new one! Clay Aiken's new album came out today and it includes a song called "Lonely No More" which I swear sounds like Erik's feelings for Meg.

Another dream, another day
I've seen too many fade away
So if you wonder how to make it right
Give me everything, everything tonight

Cause I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to feel empty no more
Only you could unbreak this heartache I've carried around
Don't wanna be lonely no more, no more

Take me in, take me home
I can't stand to be alone
Help me paint the picture of my life
Don't you disappear and leave me here tonight

Cause I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to feel empty no more
Only you could unbreak this heartache I've carried around
Don't wanna be lonely no more, no more

Can't make no sense of life
No matter how I try
Cause something's missing in my heart, tonight.

I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to feel empty no more
Only you could unbreak this heartache I've carried around
Don't wanna be lonely no more....no more

I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't want to be empty no more
And only you could unbreak this heartache I've carried around
Don't wanna be lonely no more...no more....no more

[Opera Angel]

wow sounds like Erik has finally discovered that maybe Meg is the only one for him....and she is the only one who could love him like it was meant to be...

[chorusgirl16]

Oh! Those are very good songs! Roxie, I always thought that "If I Never Knew You" was very Phantomy! I love that song.

[phantomgirl110]

It's a beautiful song, isn't it? I'd never heard it before like two months ago and as soon as I heard it I was like, "Why the heck did they cut this from the movie?! It's gorgeous!"

[Opera Angel]

I'm not sure if this song could apply but part of the lyrics really sounded like something:
www.lyricscafe.com/j/jackson_janet/lonely.html

The lyrics that really felt like Merik was:
If you're all alone
And a friend you need
Like a river flows
You hurt, I'll bleed
If you can trust in me
We can find a way
Take away the pain
Time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
Cause happiness is oh so hard to find
If you're lonely I will be there

There is love in there, but she will be his friend if he will just open up to her and not isolate himself as he always has and maybe something more could happen with that...Open to interpretation

[Little Giry]

I have a song!

"Only Love" from the Scarlet Pimpernel Musical

Meg to Erik, on acepting their feelings for each other, and that it's only love. I HIGHLY recommend this song, it's SO beautiful, prefferably the version with Christine Andreas. I thought this was really good, because after Christine, Erik would be terribly hesitant at another relationship, and I can really see this whole scene playing out. Actually, I have a link!! It's a video, but it's the song non-the-less!

Here are the lyrics:

I see you try to turn away
I hear the words you want to say
I feel how much you need to hide,
What's happening inside you tonight!

Come meet my eyes one moment more,
Our eyes are different than before!
This night, so beautiful and strange...
This night begins to change who we are!

Don't turn away, it's only love!

Quietly coming to you, whispering through you,

Take my hand, it's only love!
Let it come through you slowly...
Don't be afraid, it's only love!

We touch, the dark begins to stir,
We can't go back to where we were...

Don't be afraid to make it real,
Don't be afraid to feel tonight...
Don't turn away, it's only love!

Only a touch that frees you!
Let it release you-
Take the chance, it's only love!

Open your heart and show me
Don't be afraid, it's only love!

Don't close your eyes!
Don't hold it in,
Reach out to me, let it all begin!

Don't be afraid, it's only love!
Only a touch that frees you,
Let it release you!

Take the chance, it's only love!
Let it come through you slowly...
Open your heart and show me!

Don't be afraid...it's only love...

I have another.

It's called "Can't Help But Hope" sung by D.C. Anderson. He plays Monsieur Andre in the U.S. Tour of Phantom of the Opera, cool huh? I suggest you look him up on iTunes if you can, or check out his site! He's got a really beautiful voice, but anyway, back to the song. A good Meg song on Erik. Tee hee.

You caught me watching you today
You wore the face of wonder why...
How come I look at you that way?
How come you always catch my eye?

Can't help but hope I'm on your mind
Can't help but think I am your best bet
Can't help but pray that fate is kind
Can't help but know you will love me yet...

What if the next time our eyes meet,
You stop and offer me a grin!
You say, "Let's get something to eat,"
You take the time to let me in!

Some days I like to count your faults,
I manage quite a lengthy list
But they escape my memory’s vaults
Then I'm a mill without the grist,

Can't help but hope I'm on your mind
Can't help but think I am your best bet,
Can't help but pray that fate is kind
Can't help but know you will love me yet
And, even though you pay absolutely no attention to me
You are someone I can't forget.
