Title: MMJ 'romantic/love' lyrics?
Post by: walterfredo on Nov 29, 2010, 04:03 PM
I think I'm getting my pretty lady an Ipod for xmas.  I can have a few words engraved on the back, trying to figure something out.  Will probably go with a phish lyric or an MMJ lyric, since these are the 2 bands we listen to the most. Looking for some lyric help, toss me out some suggestions for some nice romantic lyrics.....space is limited!

some ideas could be in there. I would probably have to go with something from Knot Comes Loose or Golden, off the top of my head that is.

one of my favorite not nessecarily love lyrics is

you'll be right here forever, we'll go through this thing together
and on heavens golden shores we'll lay our heads

I've thought about the Golden lyrics, unfortunately the space is extremely limited, and will prove to be a huge limiting factor. I think it's only 26 characters per line, and only 2 lines.

I really wish...

would fit, Golden is one of her favorite tunes.  

Any more short but sweet ones out there?

Oh yeah, that's a really good one! Hard to think of short ones... Hmm...

Come closer
When your heart beats next to mine, I want it even more, I suppose that one is a tad too long though... :(

yes, too long.  If I could only have a couple more spaces...

this is as far as I could get on my preferred Golden Lyrics.

you'll be right here forever
we'll go through this thing t


as much as I'd like to put so many other lyrics in it's place, because of the size and relevance somewhat to music (ipod), really thinking I'll go with...

Looks like you got it covered, I was going to suggest a line from Waste. But It beats for you is a damn good choice.

I know your done but needed to add one more to the list.

Just one thing

I thing youve had a few better suggestions, but just to throw some Phish out there:

It brings me to my knees

I don't think I could put Bouncin' lyrics on an ipod and feel good about it.   ;) :D (I keed, I keed)

thanks for all the input though, seriously.  Even though phish has been a huge part of my life for the past 15 years, I was really wanting a MMJ lyric, tugs more at the emotional heart strings.  I actually didn't even begin to sort through phish lyrics to come up with one, I'm sure there would have been a ton of options.  agree that Waste has some good ones.  I went for the It Beats 4 You lyric, ordered and already got shipping confirmation, damn they're fast!

Thats Silent In The Morning, dude!!   >:( ;)

Totally agree with your 2nd point though. Ive always loved Phish, but theyve never been my favorite band..My favorite band's, the Jacket being the current heavyweight champ, have always been lyrically intelligent, relevant, and relatable on a personal level.

d'oh.  indeed it is.  and I actually like horse>silent.  my brain aint functioning properly this a.m.  my bad.  silent and bouncin both have that similar singing in rounds thing going on.  sorry captain!  

although you wouldn't know it by my song blunder, phish HAS been my fav. band for years and years, lots of time, energy and money have been absorbed by that band, but yeah, was really wanting an MMJ lyric! They're so much more of an emotional band for me.  The exact reason I couldn't go to T5 w/o my gf, would have been a rough one.  But I can see phish w/o her, although not preferred!
