Comfortably Numb- PF

Answer 2

"Stand A Little Rain" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

It's an older song, but it's special to me because I've had lifelong problems with depression and I apply it to that. I have to give this song partial credit for saving my life. I know it's not originally about that, but it is to me, and to others I have shared it with.

When it mentions "the love", that is the love that we should all have for ourselves, something I still need to work on. The "tear us apart" stuff is like depression tearing me apart from myself - from my heart, mind and soul.

Some of you may not understand it if you've never had chronic and severe depression. There were times when I constantly played this song - just go get through the "dark clouds."

Anyone who has ever been so down, as to be suicidal or whatever - it's a good, strong song to hang onto in your mind. It helped me through some rough times.

I'm not sure if you wanted people to post the lyrics, but, just in case someone is very depressed tonight and they happen to see the lyrics here, maybe it will help them too.

You probably just wanted the name and band, not some long, drawn out post from some crazy person, but at least it came from my heart. :)

Sorry I got overly involved in this question, or if I offended anyone or made too long of an answer. This is the polls and surveys section, not mental health. This song just happens to pertain to mental health to me. Thank you in advance for putting up with me. :)

"Stand A Little Rain" (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)

Dark cloud is coming
Headed straight for your heart
Might get just a little bit crazy, baby
Might try to tear us apart

When the storm blows over
Only the strong love remains
If we're ever gonna see a rainbow
We have to stand a little rain

Everybody wants love to be easy
But it's never been that way
Each love starts out with blue skies
Sometimes those blue skies turn grey

When the storm blows over
Only the true love remains
If we're ever gonna see a rainbow
We have to stand a little rain

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Hold on, darling
It's gonna be alright

'Cause when the storm blows over
I swear my love will remain
If we're ever gonna see a rainbow
We have to stand a little rain

If we're ever gonna see a rainbow
We have to stand a little rain

SUMMER (THE FIRST TIME)
(Bobby Goldsboro)

It was a hot afternoon,
Last day of June,
And the sun was a demon,
The clouds were afraid,
One-ten in the shade,
And the pavement was steaming.
I told Billy-Ray,
In his red Chevrolet,
I needed time for some thinking,
I was just walking by,
When I looked in her eye,
And I swore it was winking.

She was 31 and I was 17,
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything,
When I saw down beside her on the front porch swing,
And wondered what the coming night would bring.

The sun closed her eyes,
As it climbed in the sky,
And it started to swelter,
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown,
And I thought it would melt her.

She through back her hair,
Like I wasn't there,
And she sipped on a julep*,
Her shoulders were bare,
And I tried not to stare,
When I looked at her lips.

And when she looked at me,
I heard her softly say,
I know you're young,
You don't know what to do or say,
But stay with me until the sun has gone away,
And I will chase the boy in you away.

And then she smiled and we talked for a while,
And we walked for a mile to the sea,
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
But I saw the sun rise as a man.

Ten years have gone by,
Since I looked in her eye,
But the memory lingers,
I got back in my mind,
To the very first time,
And feel the touch of her fingers,

It was a hot afternoon,
Last day of June,
And the sun was a demon,
The clouds were afraid,
One-ten in the shade,
And the pavement was steaming...
