Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

Published

Every so often I'll hear lyrics on songs on the radio that remind me of nursing... Here's a couple of examples I've heard on the radio recently, unfortunately I can't remember who sings either of 'em...:monkeydance:

"I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air..."

"I have become, comfortably numb..."

Anyone got any more?

Whenever a death affects me a little bit more than average, cuz I got attached or it was sudden, I have to play Dont Fear the Reaper at cerebral hemmorage volume and sob my eyes out, and then Im better. Very few hard rock bands have the poetic depth of Blue Oyster Cult, and I can think of no other song that embraces death without being maudlin.

That is a beautiful song. I agree, it's the only song that doesn't make death dark and scary. This song embraces death and finding peace after you have left this world.

I didn't go through the whole thread, but Born Free goes through my head when an OB pt comes. "Born Free, your father's a doctor, your mother's a midwife, so you're BORN FREE".

LOL, yep, you're born free!

Hmmm, as I read through the post, everytime I thought of one someone else had already posted it. Unwell by Matchbox Twenty is one of my favorites. But with domestic abuse patients:

For the AMA patients, and those who have had unfortunate complications that made their hospitalization lengthy.

Daughtry "Home"

I'm staring out into the night,

Trying to hide the pain.

I'm going to the place where love

And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.

And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home.

Well I'm going home.

It reminds me of my brother. He was hospitalized for 3 months after a near-fatal motorcycle accident two years ago. It reminds me of his attitute at the time.
