Sing for the Moment

[darealslimzlady]

They say music can alter MOODS

lol

That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing
Except for a dream, and a fuckin' rap magazine
Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives
Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe
We're nothin' to you but we're the fuckin' shit in they eyes
That's why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and
hold it
Cause we consider these minutes golden
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our
songs and we can...

my favorite part.

Mine too. I turn the song up at that part to piss my mom off.

Yeah, I agree with Tru on this, both videos for Lose Yourself and Sing For The Moment, are pretty crap. Sing For The Moment's video came out after about 3 or 4 others on The Eminem Show, so the budget for making videos had obviously dried up, would've been much cooler seeing a video like Pink's Family Portrait, wher this little kid has a family turmoil to escape from, and he/she just goes to his/her room and puts their headphones on. And looks at the rap posters on the wall. Wouldn't have been expensive to do that, and would've matched the song much better. And David the video they did for it, actually ruined the song in my opinion, there's too many clips flying by to concentrate on the lyrics, and you miss the message of the song. Lose Yourself is a different story, movie promotional videos are always gonna be pretty simplistic, consisting of clips of the movie's action scenes, mixed with clips of the artist performing the song.

Also agree with ya on his best vids, Stan, for me is his best, it's like a mini-movie, and the others ya mentioned are hilarious too, and very entertaining.

I still think, "never 2 far" is better than any other eminem song. He was rhyming about wishing to make it and he described everything he wanted and now that he has it that song has just tremendous value.

Sing for the moment is one of my favourites too, and like fordie said, i wish they made a video better than the one they had. It annoys me how crappy rap videos usually are and then some pop-rock bands that aint shit and barely sell have the most amazing artistic videos. They should make rap videos into art not just imagery.

Yeah, that track realy does have a lot of weight to it now that you say that, was always one of his best lyrically also, like most of the trcaks on Infinite.

The last verse in "My Dads Gone Crazy", is amazing also since we're on the heavy side of the lyrics. The way he says "My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time, can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme", simple really, but then he says "More pain inside of my brain than the eyes of a little girl inside of a plane, aimed at the World Trade", that shit nearly made me cry first time I heard it. That was amazin the way he did that. The lyrics in that track are just off the charts.

^ gotta agree with Fordie on this one. i think that verse's just crazy.. to be honest i prefer when he's writing this kind of lyrics instead of the 'shady' ones. i'm talking about the meaning now, i just like when there's something deeper, something to read between the lines sometimes..

[4D]

Yeah, it's okay to say rather, but I wouldn't like him to only do this type of stuff, I like the crazy rhymes too, not like Puke, but like Without Me, also the emceee one like Lose Yourself, and the funny ones. They're all part of EMinems talent, I don't think we can expect anything different from his next album. But, we can hope for a better release than Encore, even though I don't think it's as bad as some people say. Okay goin off-topic now.

i gotta agree with you, my dad's gone crazy's last verse always gave me goosebumps.. that's what I think what eminem's most amazing ability is.. is to make people relate to the songs and fear them and at the same time enjoy them and feel the meaning of it.

EDIT: by the way, i waas the topic poster so i don't think wwe're going off topic, we're basically talking about what I was hoping the topic would be.
