Wuu. Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 This is the best song of Eminem, discuss this masterpiece. [introduction]Yeah...It's my life...My own words I guess... [Verse 1]Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?When they know they're your heartAnd you know you were their armourAnd you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'herBut what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?What happens when you become the main source of her pain?"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busyDaddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itselfI'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourselfThen turn right around in that song and tell her you love herAnd put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of herThat's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazyShady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby... [Chorus]And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mournRejoice every time you hear the sound of my voiceJust know that I'm looking down on you smilingAnd I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no painJust smile backAnd when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mournRejoice every time you hear the sound of my voiceJust know that I'm looking down on you smilingAnd I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no painJust smile back... [Verse 2]I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swingShe keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying"You always say that, you always say this is the last time"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locketIt's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"I look up, it's just me standing in the mirrorThese fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'emThey're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonightNow go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too lateAnd just as I go to walk out of my bedroom doorIt's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is onAnd I'm singing... [Chorus]And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mournRejoice every time you hear the sound of my voiceJust know that I'm looking down on you smilingAnd I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no painJust smile backAnd when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mournRejoice every time you hear the sound of my voiceJust know that I'm looking down on you smilingAnd I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no painJust smile back... [Verse 3]Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seatThe curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feetI take a bow and thank you all for coming outThey're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowdI glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your nameIt's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pillYeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it realI hear applause, all this time I couldn't seeHow could it be, that the curtain is closing on meI turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock itPut it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop itThe sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashesThat's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss herTell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sisterAlmost as if to say.. [Chorus/Outro]And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mournRejoice every time you hear the sound of my voiceJust know that I'm looking down on you smilingAnd I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no painJust smile backAnd when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mournRejoice every time you hear the sound of my voiceJust know that I'm looking down on you smilingAnd I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no painJust smile back...

OMGAKITTY Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah, it's one of three Eminem songs I'll listen to.Strangely enough, I only like the songs where he's being depressed/serious. >_>As such, the other two songs I listen to are "Mockingbird" and "Cleaning Out the Closet" (or is it Cleaning Out My Closet? meh, w/e ) But yeah, great song.

Wuu. Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 yes, that's right, he would make his songs with big feelings, unlike other Rappers or hip hoppers he would make you cry... He would start to cry himself... So much suffering, anyway that doesn't have anything to do with it! Em rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I don't listen to a lot of rap becuse most of it is meaningless dribble, this on the other hand is so deep it's scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuu. Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Are you kidding me? This is Hip Hop most of the time, and yes it's a masterpiece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 rap hiphop, as far as I'm concerned anything that isnt rock/metal is just what I call notrock, which is a genre that can be broken into Crap type A, Crap type B and remotly survivable crap....

Wuu. Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 You're saying that Rock is the best then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 pretty much, however this song is on par with rock, and there are a few others but I wont go ahead and pluck those from the abyss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuu. Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Okay? You're saying that Rock is the best, i say no discussion closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 you do have a valid argument, I just have a personal prefference, now back on topic, did anyone else notice, how dispite it's obvious meaning this song can strike so many chords it reminds me of this in this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuu. Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Doesn't remind me of it, the feelings are so different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I disagree, when I listen to When I'm Gone I get the feeling of a poweful love, that Eminem would do anything for, in this case his ddaughter Hayley (excuse my spelling) hell the opening line says it "have you ever lved some one so much you'd give an arm for" where as if you look at my song, you get the same impression if you interpret it in the Love kinda way, however "one thing" can reffer to a lot more. Ironic given the title of the song.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuu. Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yes, it also gives a feeling of being useless in life, i think when you listen to it you can feel almost all the bad stuff (Alot) that Eminem has been trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I agree with you, it's possibly one of the most meaningful songs to be released in recent years, and I frankly, probably would be a different person if I didnt hear it....

Wuu. Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 How would you be like then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I wouldnt value my loved ones as much as I do now, the way I used to behave was pretty much living likw "you have to be with family like it or not, so they're not important, concentrait on people you choose to be with" but now I see my family as the only true thing in my life, friends come and go, but family is foerver, and if you turn your back on that, then you're pretty much screwed....
