Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies

[happyhyatt]

I love this song for the emotion that the artist is getting across. Yes it talks about hurt but also about forgiveness and the hope of everything getting better... Love it!

[MrRiley1511]

I listen to the song at 1am when I can't sleep. When I realize what a mess I have made of my life.

[Dudette714]

I am in love with this song. It's one of those songs which seems so boring, but it's very moving when you actually listen to the lyrics. It gets you pretty emotional even if you have nothing in particular to be emotional about at that moment.

[cutiekutless]

Everyone thinks I'm this dumb girl who only cares about her looks and sluts herself around, but they don't know that everynight when I turn my lights off, I sit in the middle of my floor with this song on repeat and cry for everyone that I have lost.

[sarags94]

This song is so addictive

[MeggieMoo76]

For Megan and Anli - 4 amazing years, a little red mini and self love that didn't quite break through in time....

[TheKarywinchester]

totally in love with this song, I met watching one tree hill Brooke e Lucas S2

totalmente apaixonada por essa musica,a conheci vendo one tree hill

[KathleenAlexisxx]

This song got me through a really tough time. I was on the verge of suicide but I would listen to this song and think of all the pain I'd cause for those around me... I knew I couldn't put my family and friends through all that pain.

[MeggieMoo76]

For Anli and Megan.

[lyles32386]

Found this on the Paste magazine music sampler disc!! one tree hill is o so gay senor

[PunainenLada]

Try this: Bill Wells And Maher Shalal Hash Baz "Liquorice Tics"

[Horsesarelife1001]

this song calms me everytime. I was crying so hard a few secs ago. Now im at a calmer place. I wish I dident cry, I wish I dident show how I feel so much, and I wish I was stronger. Life isent Fair to me. Its not fair to anybody really.

[andieatscandy]

i dont get the music video

[merkfools13]

my friend just posted this as his status, he stayed at home and i transferred to a school 3 hours away and we don't talk anymore...shit's deep

[simonistic]

I wonder if the person comited suicide? Atleast we know that it is about a dead GF or BF.

This song is immortal.

[cigggg]

@simonistic

the song is actually about Mathhew Ryan's brother who was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

(but it also speaks on so many levels)

[victortanquia]

Excelente tema!!! Soy de argentina fanatico de One tree hills y cuando escuche esta cancion en un captulo la busque por todos lados!! me encanta!!!!!

[TheShortyStyle]

one tree hill really does use some amazing songs, this being one of the best! <3 xxxxx

[cassiax3]

essa é a música mais deprimente que eu já ouvi :[

[hiddensun1]

I like this song... its so soft and well I just can't explain it..

[naldoo1000]

essa musica é muito bonita , é show

[ykciam]

Esse vídeo eh perfeitoOoO...

e eh mais perfeito ainda quando faz a gente se lembrar de um episódio de One Tree Hill !!

[actorchild]

I've been listening to this song every night before I fall asleep for years...

[dawniec63]

me to!:D

[MarOuLi19]

Me too...:)

[manifestdestiny17]

i love this song. its heals the weakness

[petunyanose]

mmmm love

[shell1103]

Ever since I saw this song on One Tree Hill I am obsessed with it. Its such a great song!

[beegee0419]

i never believed you. i only wanted to... that line just smacks you in the face

[MariahnaCuppycake]

i feel the same way u do. one of these days well juz burst out in tears. thats what we need though, to cry. sometimes i cry. This song makes me cry. beautiful. so true.

[manifestdestiny17]

this song is so. depressing? no. but it feels so good when such a sad song speaks how you feel. im a artist and no matter what i make as art. all my feelings dont come out. i feel the only thing that pours it all out is my tiers.

someday someones gonna ask me whats wrong. and im gonna pour out crying. cause its just always kept so deep. talking doesnt help. and i dont want to make you upset by seeing me upset. but you see me. and you dont know whats burning on the inside...

[Olciuch]

You're the first person who discribed my thinking about that [ i mean the second part of your post ] exactly like i feel... There is only one difference - i'm not an artist. Hope someday you'll find the other way to pour your feeling out.

Greetings.

[SweetEmmaWatson]

@manifestdestiny17 Wow.. I am so sorry for the way you're feeling.. When I'm upset I like to listen to music like this.. I really hope you'll get better and get your feelings out somehow.. I'm sure there's a lot of people who would like to help if you would just let them.. I know if one of my friends were sad, I wouldn't want them to pretend like everything was fine. I would want to help.. :]

[denhypreheksa]

@manifestdestiny17 this is living proof so many teenagers suffer from depression. You just described excactly how I feel everyday. Talking doesn't help. But I still have to. That's the hard part. I need to get it out. But It hurts everytime. And I can't make people understand. WE can't make people understand. We just have to pray it gets better and hold on to the hope and to the thought of other teens in our same situation. I'm only 13. How old are u?

[manifestdestiny17]

@denhypreheksa 14, 15 in like 2 months

[SicciEN]

@manifestdestiny17 now you're not an artist.

[leannexsimpkin]

this song is in one of the best scenes ever in a One Tree Hill episode :)

[RenkaeOfNyght]

It most certainly is. I love this song, and said scene.

[PervyMuskrat]

This song was suggested to me by a reviewer on a story I wrote.

They said it reminded them of my story.

I don't think I could ever do this song justice and am so honored by that comparison.

[volcomgal999]

well that makes me want to read the story.

[BreathtakingSadness]

What was your story about ?

[simonistic]

@PervyMuskrat post the story mate

[dedu15]

you man i think you do but you toyota what a bathroom light! i got a jacket in the floor cube in f16! w00t 99 str the star in the sky

[gaelle582564270]

Magnifique ... Beautiful !!

Sortez des chansons comme celle la tous les jours ... Pour nous envoler encore plus haut =)

[bamk22]

i love this song , remains me to have faith when tings gets hard

[withpermanentink]

"how's your halo, just b/w you and i, you and me and the satellites!"

LOVE this song!

[da20man05]

I absolutely luv dis song! it brings me 2 tears. x)

[steffania13]

did the girl kill herself???

that's what i understand...

[Linoufee]

yeah

she killed herself !! and he couldn't save her... he forgave her what she didn't forgive herself.. in this way she will be able to reach the heaven the blue blue skies)

[steffania13]

ooh my Goood thaaanx

what a saaad song....

great song...

another one you can recomend me from this group??

[Linoufee]

my favourite is for blue skies, but i also like Pretty girl or Night is Still but they 're different

[muahahaha101]

Its also about his brother comitting a crime and being sentenced to jail

[77number77]

yeah, i'm pretty sure the song isn't about suicide but solely about his brother's 30 year jail sentence, is what i heard anyway

[Blackshadowcat99]

@77number77 I think it partially is. Some of the lines seem to be about suicide: "I want to burn this film/You alone with those pills/What you couldn't do I will/I forgive you..."

[jaxt23]

this song catches me every single time I hear it!

[lambchopstephanie]

i hear this and i think of naley =). it was a great moment on oth.

[ale3thethreat]

perfect..

[JustFussle]

i just broke up with my girlfriend .. and she was the one for me... i love her soo.. but we cant be together anymore.. we cant.. but i love her.. i ´m so scared that i will remember her later and tell myself she was the love of my life...  this song is so beautiful i´m a person who cant cry but this right now helped me to cry.. and i feel .. better .. sorry to annoy you

[Kubejj]

yea life sucks

[carlsplace]

just....maybe if you were more manly you could win her back...

[JIMVOULGARIS]

we just maybe if u could be any smarter u would understand what the man is saying

[carlsplace]

i understand what he's saying....he finds rectal violations either forced or voluntary to be an abomination in the eyes of humankind and the creator...its not rocket science bubba

[JIMVOULGARIS]

but u are still not getting it...

the man is saying sth form his heart and u go and say sth like"dude be more manly and then everything is gonna be ok"

like thats a solution to the prob

[carlsplace]

well i dont know if hes gonna find the solution in someones heart...but i can guarantee he isnt gonna find it in a rectal cavity....thats all i was saying

[JIMVOULGARIS]

well maybe u are right about that...

but u didnt epress that thing in the most suitable way...

[VBrowerV8]

break ups suck : (

but never know how things will turn out

pick up a guitar or something an play it out

but if i ever find how to get over it id let you know

[soulsickpsycho]

I feel ya.... really. Don't mind the rest of these clowns, they clearly have no life experience. It gets better dude... at least that's what I tell myself.

[7lizzie7]

one of my favourite songs. the words and the music captivate me. simply amazing.

[danwants2btheman]

[carlsplace]

I"ve seen Mark Cabus in Shakespeare stuff and he looks normal....but in this he looks like a big ole bacon and porkchop eating fatboy. I suspect he's been dating Jenny Craig.

[carlsplace]

this song reminded me of getting super drunk in college and puking in my roommates underwear drawer...i havent thought of that in years

[Lucy369852147]

Sometimes they really shine music wise

[RageNFaith]

I found this song a few days before my Grandmother passed away from Alzheimers...she was my favorite in my family...when the singer says "how's your halo" I cry everytime cause I know she's an angel looking out for me now...love this song..miss her even more...:( one day I will see her again...

[Simo92Alisa]

I think that your grandmother is proud of you...

[xSeaside]

Could I have saved you ? Would that've betrayed you ? I love this song <3

[ButterAndBread]

I love this song.

[invertedlife]

what does he mean by you alone with those pills??? like she did drugs???

[tunaktunaktu]

OD man....

[Jerriej]

The song is about his brother getting a lifetime sentence in jail, but if I remember correctly he once said that you should interprete the song and lyrics with your own imagination.

[carlsplace]

she took it up the pooper dude...

[willpearce10]

[steffii526]

[guiltyplease]

[chegakalaguala]

alguien me puede dar el signifikado de esta kancion en español...?

[carlsplace]

eato a burrito

[xxheartheartbrokexxx]

this song is so sad it makes me cry... :(

[MRVSS]

Hey there. I wrote For Blue Skies. And I believe songs are for what you need them to be.

Just didn't wanna see you guys start throwing rocks at eachother.

[accel7]

You know bitta2sweet, you really shouldn't be so selfish. Anybody has the right to interpret the song/lyrics however they goddamn want. Whether it's 13 year old girls or a 20 year old or whatever. Music is suppose to be something meaningful to somebody, and as far as I'm concerned, you are in no position of taking that privilege away to anybody. So please, stop tryna' be such a smart ass.

[carlsplace]

what if its some 80 year old lady who doesnt give too shites about the world as long as she can go out with her 80 year old friends and eat a giant meal and only have to pay like 50 cents for it and then doesnt even tip the waiter....do these people have feelings too....i feel sorry for people like you

[bitta2sweet]

I really wish this song hadn't been used on One Tree Hill... it's so brilliant, and now tons of preteen girls love it without having any idea what it means and the gravity behind it.

[Domy81]

You should really watch OTH. The song was perfect for Brooke and Lucas, because they had such an amazing complicated relationship, and such a tough history...

[bitta2sweet]

I DO watch OTH, and I don't think this song fits at all. This song is about his brother going to prison for killing someone.

[Domy81]

Well, yeah, but for alot of people, this song means somthing else...I honestly think there are more situations this song can be used for...

[bitta2sweet]

I understand that, the lyrics are left open for personal interpretation. But my original point was that a lot of immature OTH fans seem to regard this as another song whining over some break-up, which demeans the actual weight and emotion. I'm not saying a OTH fan can't fully appreciate the song, just that many don't... which sucks.

[NikitaStrong]

My ex dedicated this song to me when he was dating someone else.. It made me so sad, because he had a red car..And we were always together and driving around and he would watch me sleep..Ahh memories..Now hes my friend

[Stonetiara88]

Happy Valentines day people. Fits my Valentines day Anyways.

[musia17]

they are the same depressive and lonely?

[musia17]

[girlfromnowhere1]

I love this song, well really anything by Matthew Ryan (the singer heard here) I am counting the days until his new album MRVSS comes out April 1st. He has songs up on his myspace page from the new album.

[CatGoesRawr]

I Love It..So Bittersweet?

[partywooo11]

Strong not stong

[carlsplace]

isnt a stong a korean dress thing that has a slit up the side?

[partywooo11]

This is my favorite song ever!

Its sooo sad but stong and sort of makes you happy but at the same time stongly emotional

[OhhOkkay]

i love it. i cant even explain how it makes me feel.

its like happy, sad... so emotional... these are the strongest lyrics.

[stevespano]

missing more then home

[Mustela1986]

This song have something that makes me feel strong, also sad... But I really like it.

[CitizenErased77]

this song is hurting and killing me but same time, makes me happy and hopes.. what a great song

[Nickster25]

The song is about Matthew Ryan's brother, who was sentenced to prison for 30 years.

[soccercutie101323]

[runnerxx3]

:] heard this on one tree hill first, now everytime i hear it i think of that show!

[luckiierin11]

me too hah

[alexlloveOnlyOne]

I think this song is about a girl, who tries to commit suicide by oerdosing on pills. He tries to save her by taking her to the hospital, but she dies at his side in the car. A Year later he's having flashbacks and trying to figure out why she did it ("What did I miss?"). So he says he'll forgive her For The Blue Skies. It's a really sad, amazing song.

[Jussterr]

It's actually about one of the band members' brother going to jail...

[InBloodChains]

It's nice that people can relate to songs however they want to :)

[a7xaddict4676]

i agree

[Jenndeve]

[TylerHiltonCMM]

I love this song. Makes me think of Brooke and Lucas!

[psychopopcorn]

I dont care what anyone says, I think this is perfect. It captures the mood in a graceful way that many modern films/videos do not. This is amazing.

[citizenbuck]

He reminds me of Tony Hale for some reason.

[Carmelle7]

ONE TREE HILL !!!! :D:D

[spentcigarette]

Yeah, I'm not too keen on this video. The quality, the images themselves, it doesn't really jive well with the song. Disappointing, because the song is so fucking beautiful, and remains to be one of my favorites, ever.

[multicologalou]

j'adore c'te chanson!!! elle est trop trop belle:d

[mark220788]
