We're In This Together Now by Nine Inch Nails

A combination of industrial noise, distorted guitar riffs and awesome lyrics is what this song is. I got a copy of "The Fragile" album through a friend of mine who might have thought that all of Trent Reznor's music sounds like "The Perfect Drug". He might have been overwhelmed with the noise in the album, but he should not have missed this. I've never imagined a 'love song' can be concocted with all this noise around.

I've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we
have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we've found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

you and me
we're in this togeher now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and I'm the king
nothing else means anything

Even When I'm Sleeping by Leonardo's Bride

Like most of the songs that became my favorites during high school, i saw this one on MTV. It was late night as I remember it, this one had a black and white video. What caught me was the title.... even when i'm sleeping, wow!.... it really suited me because sleeping is the only time were in i spend some time with my crushes (yep, you heard me). Anyway, this one is really underrated, a true hidden gem!



Don't be confused by my apparent lack of ceremony,
My mind is clear
I may be low or miles high off in the distance,
I want you near

I love you... even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

And if they take me flying on the magic carpet
See me wave
If our communication fails I'll reconnect it
I want to rave

I love you... even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

No matter where the road is leading us remember
Don't be afraid
We have a continent that sometimes comes between us
That's ok

I love you... even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere
