Hummmmmm....
I didn't think that one would be hard. It's "Moments" by Emerson Drive
Try another, this being the Christmas Season...
"In the night was the dark
In the dark was the dream
In the dream was the child
And myself there unseen
Hummmmmm....

That was the most abstract, hard-to-find song,, "Dream Child" it's called by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (what does that even mean). Lol to keep things old school but a little more mainstream, I'll shoot a classic.
Thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Player's only love you when they're playin'
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Bare with me if the lyrics are a little off.
"I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?” ― Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife
saw Fleetwood mac (dreams) when I was in high school...
one of my all time favorites:
I was only a kid
When I said goodbye to you
Ten summers ago
But it feels like yesterday
Lost, scared and alone
Nothing I could give to you
I tried, I really did
But I couldn't find another way
And I want, and I need
Somehow to believe
In the choice I made
Am I better off this way?
I can hear the __________________
Saying you should be with me instead
Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder
What would it be like with you around?
So I, I made my way
Cold and roaming in the wild
I'm forever changed
By someone I never knew
Now I've, I've got a place
I've got a husband and a child
But I'll never forget
What I've given up in you
And I want, I need
Somehow to believe
In the choice I made
Am I better off this way?

Voice Inside My Head, Dixie Chicks, and yes I cheated. ;-)
The next one is for you 80s music fans, though this one is a little more obscure, for Americans especially. My hints are it's a guy not a band, and he's British. What follows is the chorus of the song:
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
And no cheating, it's dishonorable. :-0

Nik Kershaw - The Riddle (Hey I am 55, you know!) also done by GiGi something or other...
Try this it's the bridge in this classic rock song
You better stand tall when they're throwing you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
It's My Life --Bon Jovi Great song, and funny to watch the video now 'cause it features outdated technology like a pager which was clearly cutting edge at the time. ;-) Also the only rock anthem I can think of to refer obliquely to Frank Sinatra.
OK, now if you don't know this next one without looking it up, you fail the hipness test for the foreseeable future. ;-)
The old man said to me
Said, "Don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute and dance and sing your song"
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Harold Jones - Life in One Day (and I did have to look it up... sigh...)
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is coming'
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Last Resort - The Eagles
Come on and dance, come on and dance
Let's make some romance
You know the night is fallin'
And the music's callin'
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
swingtown by the steve miller band! yayyy I knew one!
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he's got to go go go.....
Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult (I knew that one too!!)
Lookin' out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
im sorry papayahed, i do like you, its just, well, you don't make me feel.....like....a....nat-ur-al....woman!
laughs...
Well I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see....
Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...

hahahha, how about this one bounty:Originally Posted by bounty
It's so sad, livin' at home
Far from the city and the midnight fun
It's so bad, goin' to school
So far from me and the dirty things that we do
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
oh heck papayahed, the irony! I had to look that up only to find the song, king of the night time world, by kiss, is on one of the very first albums I had in high school, destroyer! who didn't shed a tear at beth? and sing along with shout it out loud, or I wanna rock and roll all night?
and some inspiration for this one:
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad were rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
______, _______ but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Away, away

Surrender, Surrender - Cheap trick
Change of pace:
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
