Autistic Love Songs

Post Reply New Topic

A thread for sharing love songs that seem to take on a special meaning when you're on the spectrum.


"I can hear so much in your sighs,
And I can see so much in your eyes,
There are words we both could say,
But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder.
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still.
Don't talk, take my hand, and let me hear your heart beat."
What more is there to say?


Can you tell I like Pet Sounds?
I'll never know how these guys can evoke such feeling without a single word. Just little sonic cues that bring to mind memories of sneaking glances, holding hands, long walks alone....


"Please forgive me if I act a little strange,
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins,
Every time I look at you.

Help me out here all my words are falling short,
And there's so much I wanna say
Wanna tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way."

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I





Kathy's Song
Simon & Garfunkel


I love the sensory and the sheltered mind.



PS - Pet Sounds is one of the best albums ever produced.

Split Enz "I Got You"

"I don't go out...I stay in my room...Sometimes we shout...I feel uneasy...You get on my nerves...I don't know why sometimes I get frightened...I'm not lying"

Elita - I Hate Everyone But You

I wish I could go out with you tonight
Without wanting to murder everyone in sight
I want to share my feelings but it's hard 'cause I haven't my whole life

I'm tired of being tired
But you don't seem to be bothered
When I stay in bed all day

I guess I'm kinda sorry
'Cause I won't go to the party
But you tell me it's OK

'Cause I f*****g hate everyone but you

I wish I didn't say those things that night
I promise that I didn't want for us to fight

I'm tired of being tired
But you don't seem to be bothered
When I stay in bed all day

I guess I'm kinda sorry
'Cause I won't go to the party
But you tell me it's OK

'Cause I f*****g hate everyone but you

I Love My Computer
Bad Religion

I Love Rocky-Road could fit here since it's by Weird Al Yankovic & is about loving ice-cream so much that's all he wants to eat

We Are In Love from the Looney Tunes reboot could fit here too. Lola is extremely obsessed with Bugs & doesn't grasp that he's a lot less into her than she is in him. I would probably be a great match for her because my partner is my special interest & I find her obsession extremely cute I'm seriously not right in the head

….and you take me the way I am.

Madilyn Mei - Side Quest Song

If we split up the group
Can I be paired with you?
Not for any reason
Other than the fact I think
We make for a good team
A side story or two
Slay a couple dragons together
and I can’t help but
I can’t help but think that
maybe you and me
could kinda sorta
I’m not sure where this sentence is going
Um….

Remember Men at Work from the '80s?


Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy, yeah

Ooh, who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
(Oh, wee oh) Who can it, Who can it
(Ooh ooh) Who can it be now?
(Ooh ooh wee) Yeah yeah yeah

Not the song...but the delivery...some would say was rather "autistic".
Sounds like he is reading you your Miranda Rights.
Just the facts mam'.
