On That Note: Receive

[CycloneRulzzz]

Merry Christmas from the OTN crew to all of you. In spirit of holiday we are looking for songs with any version of receive in the title or lyrics. The following words are also allowed: accept. collect, and acquire.


“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.


Last Week: 'Til I Die (Late Musicians 2025)

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Just receive it (owner of a lonely heart)

 

[MeanDean]

We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

 

[MeanDean]

She was just there, but then she can't be here no more
And as my mind unweaves, I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Keep your more to receive your less

 

[MeanDean]

Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive?

 

[MeanDean]

A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive
on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults

 

[MeanDean]

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool

 

[pourcyne]

Let Earth receive her king...

 

[pourcyne]

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

 

[MeanDean]

Accept me for what I am

 

[MeanDean]

Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver

 

[pourcyne]

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

 

[Buster28]

"Obsession" by Animotion, a new wave/synth/rock song from 1984 that peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lyrics:
I will have you, yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

 

[pourcyne]

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
So get up off the floor and believe in life
No-ones ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

 

[MeanDean]

Give it to me, give it to me, your inspiration
Give to receive, find all we need
As I walk away from you

(Damn, Neil Finn is just a kid!)

 

[pourcyne]

Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
(Owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it

 

[pourcyne]

Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to receive

“Where the angels won’t receive me.”
