Overcome

oh gosh i love this song! The Celtic-ness and everything is beautiful and relaxing and powerful at the same time. Great lyrics too.

Thanks for correcting me on the title...lol

I also love this song

BTW The song is called Overcome not I Will Overcome

Don't we already have a thread for this one?

Meh. I love it

It rocks. Definitely an uber inspiration to me.

And so many people can relate to it so well and it just helps them lift up spirits.

i love this song and i really like the lyrics in it

It's an amzing song and really cheers you up and gives you more strength Just like WT.

My brother was saying that Sharon sounds evil in Run yesterday so I decided to play him Sharon's 'evil' voice. He said she sounded like a witch but I'm sure he was just trying to wind me up and didnt mean it. I did smack him alot for that comment

I smack my brother all the time for saying bad things about my lifelines.

"Within Temptation sucks." -Oh really? And songs about "shaking that laffy taffy" and "apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur" are so much better?

Anyway. I can't get over the amazingness of this song. I really can't. It describes situations I've been in so many times astonishingly.

Haha "shaking that laffy taffy" thats brilliant!

My brother only says it to wind me up because it's the only thing to offend me.

I just come back with 'Well I've seen The Offspring' that gets to him As there his favourite band.

It`s a really beautiful song,and very personal one
but i`m in love with its demo "Run"for me it`s a little better than Overcome because Sharon uses in this her evil Mother Earth voice...
but anyway both song are two of my faves

I love Sharon's evil voice. Which is probably why Caged and Overcome and Run get played when I'm angry.

Me too!

Wow. Just Wow This song gives me so much strength it's unbelievable.

I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on

and

Twisting and turning
It's always the same
The truth is never honest
When you're to blame

Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You'll see you're not
so beautiful within

Really get me you know. It just makes you think that you can do it and you just have to go for it. it's really inspiring.

Yes,and I can relate to this song so much.Even if musically I preffer Run,Overcome has better lyrics

I would probably like Run more if I heard a studio version. Same with Orff, ya know? I would rather hear a studio version and then decide if I like it.

Overcome is perfect. Makes me cry every time, even if it's talking about overcoming and using strength...It's something I know I can't do; therefore, I cry. Heh

Over and over, I felt so small

Memory still haunts me in the dead of night

Those lines really speak to me. :-\


And am I the only one who hears the lyrics differently than they have on the site? I hear:

Is my cry not loud enough, or have they gone all numb?

Overcome is so special to me. And that's the reason why I don't listen to it very often, it's the best help when I feel really down and hopeless. The lyrics are simply amazing.

Now I played the verse and I clearly hear Is my cry not loud enough Hmm...

Andy. You can overcome Listen to the song! Listen to WT! You can overcome

I hear it both ways now. And now you've confused me. You never know with Sharon, she's always getting her lyrics confused.

Haha. So true. I'm determined to figure it out 'Cause I really don't think they have the lyrics right on the site.

I dunno I hear Is my crying abandoned? more. But I can hear Is my cry not loud enough now too.

Me, I LOVE IT!!

A song I can listen to again and again and never tire from it.

Overcome is a masterpeice in my eyes...

STORY TIME!

And don't worry it's related to Overcome.

Peter sits next to me in American History. He was talking to Jordan behind and the teacher said, "You will overcome the talking problem today Peter." And she looked at me like I was supposed to do something. So I did.

I stole his paper and at the bottom I wrote "In violence there's silence"

Now how sick does a person have to be to use a song about peace to threat Peter? I don't know, but I'm at that level.

I think Overcome would have been a nice track on TSF... but I know it wasn't written then, so no one bite my head off.

Ha. I love it. Did it get him to shut up though?

Overcome =
