I moved the blog to wordpress format so that I could actually host the mp3s that I am posting, thus making possible for me to publish any songs I want, unlike here. Also google has been cracking down on music blogs as I have come to find out. The new site is better anyways, so come and enjoy. Thanks to everyone who reads this as well.

Late Of The Pier – Blueberry

2010-02-24T21:02:00.000-08:00

It's a little odd to say that every once in a while a Indie band can get a little spiritual on your ass. Well Late of the Pier have done just that. Lately I have been going through what you could call a spiritual revolution of sorts myself, so I really relate to this song.

Late Of The Pier – Blueberry

Sunday morning comes
And I look out my window to the clouds
And through the rain
I feel the love that shines on eveyone around
Through the glow
Of all the ones I´ve known and sometimes grown to stay
There is one light
That will shine the world away

Explosions of warm air flow
Excite and invite my soul
To know that your love is where you live

On a cloud
In the sunshine
All around
You live
On a cloud
In the sunshine
All around

Through the falling leaves
All around the trees where the icy waters flow
Down the lanes we drive
When it´s late at night and there´s nowhere else to go
Till the morning comes
And the pale white sun draws near its final day
There is one light
That will shine the world away

Explosions of warm air flow
Excite and invite my soul
To know that your love is where you live

On a cloud
In the sunshine
All around
You live
On a cloud
In the sunshine
All around

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Redemption Song

2010-02-23T21:12:00.000-08:00

Something that I always strive for, even if I fail sometimes, is to push myself to become a better person. I do believe that no one but ourselves can really hold us back when it comes to this part of life. No matter what has happened in our lives, no matter who has treated us poorly, no matter how far we have let our selves fall, I believe we can all find redemption.

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Redemption Song

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.

Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.
Won't you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Phoenix - If I ever feel better

2010-02-22T20:42:00.000-08:00

Some songs just capture a certain moment in life perfectly. Today this Phoenix song has done that for me, in a much more graceful and interesting way than I ever could.

Phoenix - If I feel better

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control

They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that' s fading away

You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...

No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't ewait, I can't wait, I can't wait...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away

Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive

I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

Radiohead - Creep (Acoustic)

2010-02-21T21:19:00.000-08:00

For the past ten years or so in my life I have never been really able to connect deeply with anyone, especially the women in my life. I have always felt like an outsider and observer. Didn't feel like the ideas in my head would relate to anyone else, I felt like that weirdo. But by doing this I missed out on alot that life has to offer, and hurt a lot of wonderful people along the way. This is my apology and explanation to them.

Radiohead - Creep (Acoustic)

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here...

Elliott Smith - Angel in the Snow

2010-02-19T11:22:00.000-08:00

The bitter bite of addiction makes you feel less than you are, or that you are frozen in time. Even when you recognize the beauty around you, you can not reach out and accept it into your life. Elliot Smith understood this, and unfortunately never got to come out of it.

Elliott Smith - Angel in the Snow

I'd say you make a perfect
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes too far
Don't you know that I love you?
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
That fell down here to lay beside you

Don't you know that I love you?
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
Only a frozen still life
That fell down here to lay beside you

Hot Chip - One Life Stand

2010-02-18T11:14:00.000-08:00

I have been a fan of Hot Chip for a while now, from their days of party rock to this new more mellow, more mature album. I feel as though I have grown through these phases along with them, and find my self here, and now, with this song.

Hot Chip - One Life Stand

Tell me where you've been to
Nowhere that you shouldn't do
tell me what you're good for
I can tell you something too
Where have you been staying
tell me what you're playing
Hope its not my conscious
You will always be my baby

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)

Wishes keep remaining
Nothing will contain it
A baloon where they're escapin'
Theres nothing but a play thing
Moments keep us guessing
And lead us from temptation
But better to embrace them
And measure our relation

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling )
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)

The Shins - Australia

2010-02-17T07:58:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I sit and wonder what the point of working your life away everyday is for....Sometimes I just want to run away from it all, go to a place far away and never return. Will you runaway with me?

The Shins - Australia

Time to put the earphones on…
No!

Lalalala
Lalalala

(Born to) Born to multiply,
Born to gaze into night skies,
When all you want’s one more Saturday.
Well look here, until then
They're gonna buy your life’s time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
‘Till the day
We come in doing cartwheels
We all crawl out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes.

You be damned to be one of us, girl,
Faced with the dodo’s conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happened every time I tried.

A dual tone on the wall
The selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all
never dreamt of such sterile hands.
You keep them folded in your lap,
Or raise them up to beg for scraps,
You know he's holding you down
With the tips of his fingers just the same.
Will you be pulled from the ocean,
But just a minute too late,
Or changed by a potion,
And find a handsome young mate
For you to love.

You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe’s,
Well do it now or grow old.
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.

Been alone since you were twenty-one,
You haven't laughed since January.
You try and make like this is so much fun,
But we know it to be quite contrary.

La la la la la la

Dare to be one of us, girl,
Facing the android's conundrum,
I felt like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
You himmler and your coat,
You don't know how long I've been,
Watching the lantern dim,
Starved of oxygen,
So give me your hand,
And let's jump out the window.

Pinback - tripoli

2010-02-15T22:05:00.000-08:00

Pinback, one of my favorite bands out there. Why? Because they take very simple song lyrics and combine them with amazing musical scores. This song is so basic and brutal, yet lovely at the same time.

Pinback - tripoli

Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
They'll tie me up and send me off
To set me off on someone's lawn
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
oooooowoowoooooo
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
Did I forget that I said to you that I'd be there
No one would believe me,
And no one cared to check it out.
Ahh Ee Yahh
You know what's gonna happen.
He's gonna go down and he's gonna come back again.
Sad I'm gonna die.
Hope it's gonna happen later than I think.
They'll tie me up and send me off
To set me off on someone's lawn

Kid Cudi - Highs N Lows

2010-02-14T17:11:00.000-08:00

Highs N Lows, you know we all experience them. They are a simple part of life, with out one the other just wouldnt be the same. This song, for me, really shows a honest look at how we move through the Highs and Lows of life, and thats why I love it.
KiD CuDi – Highs N Lows

I be high when I split a dutch and fill it up
I be high when I get my money doubled up
I be high when a model wanna let me cut
I be high when I'm signing cus my diamonds blush

I be low when a nigga cant get away
I be low when I cant seem to make a way
I be low when I can't even feed myself
I be low when I realize I'm by myself

But I be high when I'm shopping for expensive clothes
I be high when I get what I couldn't before
I be high in the club while I'm poppin bub
I be high when im cruising sitting on them dubs

But I be low after shows in my dressing room
I be low when i see that I'm a different dude
I be low on the plane looking at the sky
I be low but my highs keep a nigga tied

[Chorus ]
I be high then I be low
I be low then I be high
Its like a battle knife to a gun fight
But I be cool this the story of my life
I be high then I be low
I be low then I be high
Its like a battle knife to a gun fight
No need to worry this the story of my life

I be low when I gotta get ready for work
I be low cus after bills my pockets be hurt
I be low when I can't take a girl out
I be low cus they can't even figure me out

But I be high when the phony chicks show me love
cus in my mind I read them but I dont give a fuck
I be high when a nigga get attention
I be high when your girl catch feelings

Then I be low when i go into that empty space
I be low when I'm looking at a stressed face
I be low cus my brother's facing hard times
And I be low cus my nigga ryan close behind

Then I'm high when I know the places we can go
I be high when I think what the future holds
I be high when she asks for my room number
I be high but my lows keep a nigga humble

*Chorus*

I was high when the label said that I was dope
I was high in my eyes cus i had hope
I was high when I first had the taste of love
I was high when I left the city I was from

And I was low when I had a recent heartbreak
I was low cus I truly thought I had a mate
I was low when I lost her over sillyness
I was low cus she twisted what my words meant

But I was high when I finally had the chance to see
Everything thats pretty aint always good for me
I was high when she first said i liked you
Man I must be too high to even write dude
And these things show you growth
Some niggas show a little but I show you the most
Highs n' lows and succeed fo sho
The only thing left to do is say a toast
CUS
