this song is by an amateur singer, eunnie, who's just a high schooler from cali... but man has she got some chops.
listen to the song... puts a lot of things in perspective... this is the kind of thing i needed to hear a couple years ago.
The Quest
Lyrics:
(1st verse)
For such a long time
It¡¯s been an endless quest
I searched so long
For the things found in love songs
So much confusion
An illusion¡¦
That human love is all I need
Now I know, I know, it¡¯s not complete
My heart has the courage
To finally see
That you¡¯re every part of me
It¡¯s been sitting here right in front of me
Right in my face¡¦
You¡¯re the reason for my existence
You are the one
(Chorus)
Your endless love
It poured out on me
It took three nails
To finally set me free
I was so blind
Too blind, too blind to find
You saved me
Only you
Hung on the cross
I felt the pain so deeply
Every drop of blood
Stained on that tree
You gave me life¡¦
Never thought twice
To save me
(2nd verse)
So many times, too many things left me in the dust
Backs were turned; they all broke my trust
I¡¯ve longed for passion found on the silver screen
Now I realize¡¦
It¡¯s the last thing that I need
¡®Cause here in reality
You¡¯ve got to step out of that dream
Why did I turn my back this time?
From a love that will never change, or ever fade, never decline
I couldn¡¯t see
Just forgive me
(Chorus 2x)

This next song is by another amateur singer... a college kid from columbia i believe... he's a great song writer... and this song is just a real interesting listen. once again... its all about perspective.
Social Geometry
Lyrics:
midnight paints the wall along with tinted lamplight
i'm
amidst the lines of bass and conversation
her line of sight invites as she passes by
with "take-me-to-the-bedroom" eyes
she comes close
clothes just like a second skin
slowly stepping in she winks
and ticks her hips with pursing lips and
he's lucky
to pull her to his side
leaving me to write the scene
from a safer distance set for me
i've noticed a trend that says that
squares don't fit in circles of friends
a case of failed
...social geometry
...social geometry
see i know the shame of smiles
and waving hi..
to someone who meant to greet the one behind you
and how...slow...
motion can be in a scene
where every move you make fills something intimate
with huge mistakes
and i'd be great if people liked
the "loud-when-nervous" kind of type
but no one always sees that always justified
consider me one awkward night personified
a record scratched that plays this fool
in stereo and endless loops
and if the first foot forward always should be best
it tends to block my next steps
making me hate me in social contexts
cause i can't help but trip on words that slip from
nervous lips
oh save me...
make me right
at very least just keep me quiet
but if not tonight
i... will...
if not tonight
then one day i'll remake this bed i sleep upon
if not tonight
i'll break the wall this flowers rooted heavy on
if not tonight
then one day i'll be someone fun to figure out
if not tonight
i'll make me something
someone to write home about
and even if it kills me one day i will learn this
lesson
you're supposed to kill with kindess
not supposed to kill with first impressions
so that your mention
won't win the prize of rolling eyes
and every whisper brings to mind a hint of smile
or word that's kind
but i refuse to change my shape
just to fit in
so until
this square changes
some of circle's mass appeal...
...i'll sit and wait...
...and be a case of failed...
...social geometry
...social geometry
