Nas - Dance

His mother died from cancer during the making of his album...


I dream of the day I can go back to when I was born
Laying in your arms, wishing you was here today mom
Wish you'd appear
Just for a second from heaven my tears would be gone
I wouldn't be rapping this song
I'd be happy driving up to your 8 bed room mansion
Up late, laughing bout the hard time we faced
The galaxy is so enchantin beyond, Galileo's understanding
Past the milky way and all the planets
There's something out there greater
But only god knows, scientist claim we came from apes
But they lies though, that was part of our conversation
I spark one up and start blazing
Thinking of how amazing she was
A angel gave me love
I'm thankful, to ever know a women so real
I pray when I marry my wife would have one of your skillz
But mom you could never be replaced
I'd give my life up
Just to see you one more day
To have...


I wish you were here,
I miss you more each second I breathe
You resting in peace forever I accepted you free
A blessing to me, I see you dressed in all white
Smiling at me, happy knowing everything's all right
If only I can hear your voice and your laughter
Just one more time, my chest would be filled up with sunshine
April 7, O 2
That's when the gates of heaven opened up for you to stroll threw
Beautiful Anne Jones
Job is done, raising ghetto kids in the hood
You was my strength to carry on and now I'm good
Job well done, you lived threw you sons and your grandchildren
Jesus finally got his bride, mommy dance with him
And you've been my guide threw all the trouble I faced
They playing our song the lifebeat my hand on your waist
I grab your other hand and try not to step on your toes
Spin you around with my eyes closed
Dreaming I could have

Speaking of Metallica, One is a pretty depressing song. Especially if you've read Johnny Got His Gun.

------------------
You're entering a world of pain.

How the hell are Bounce, and Sugar depressing?

Oh and nobody has mentioned Metallica - One! That's like the most depressing song ever!

Empty Chairs and Empty Tables was a hellava lot more depressing I thought(or maybe even Bring Him Home)

On with my list:
1. Smiths- Asleep
2. Almost any Joy Division song
3. Neil Young - Man needs a maid
4. Grey Daze - The Down Syndrome( version with piano)

Sorry, that's my angering/depressing list. Didn't feel like sorting the two out.

I love that song (Empty Chairs) mainly because of the key change, it's done so well.

How is Where is My Mind depressing?


Asleep is depressing, but Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me is a million times more depressing. Other than that, I find the Smiths more funny than depressing.

And I agree about Joy Division.
