song of the moment
apple
by cat jahnke
**UPDATED**
i love you, need you, want you to stay
i placed it up high on my shelf for a day
i longed for a bite as it rotted away
it goes, it goes, it just goes to shows
that anything can happen
oh woes, woes, pile up to your nose
cuz good enough just isn't good enough
badum pomme pomme pomme
a brush and a comb and a mirror and blade
a horse and a cart and a river and glade
every note, every voice, every song ever played
all collected and lovingly at your feet laid
it goes, it goes, it just goes to shows
that anything can happen
woes, woes, hop til you knows
cuz good enough just isn't good enough
badum pomme pomme pomme
i'll kiss your closed eyes so the love will not show
i'll bask in your radiance that dulls the sun's glow
i'll sing so softly that no air will blow
and no one will know
and no one will know
it goes, it goes, it just goes to shows
that anything can happen
woes, woes, hop til you knows
cuz good enough just isn't good enough
badum pomme pomme pomme
if you would but ask i could turn myself blue
by pausing the rhythm that pushes blood through
or i'd stoke up the fire blush a blazing red hue
for i gave you my heart and it pulses for you
it goes, it goes, it just goes to shows
that anything can happen
woes, woes, hop til you knows
cuz good enough just isn't good enough
badum pomme pomme pomme
*Thanks, Darren, for correcting the lyrics (check the comments for that explanation, people).
I'm even more impressed with this song, now.*

Okay, I had to search high and low to even find this link. Who knew it would be this hard to find an awesome song? WTF?! And the lyrics? Forget about it! I finally had to give up and just type the damn things out myself, so if there are any errors, please let me know, cuz this is the best my brain could do at one in the morning. There’s only so much playing/pausing/rewinding a girl can take before she has the urge to defenestrate her computer, or any handy throwable object.
The chorus of this song was the theme song for the web comedy show Ctrl. I heard it, and, as often happens with me, became obsessed. So my obsession becomes your good fortune and education in music. Because you care. You do!!! I’ve decided you care, so don’t argue with me! It’s just so fun and bouncy, although, after listening to it like eleven times in a row just now, I think I might need to take a break from it for a bit before I can enjoy it again. Some chocolate and an episode of Firefly should do the trick.
My hair smells good. Just thought I'd share.
I’ll try to find a better link, but in the meantime, let me know if either one of those cease being viable.
Delicious song! Thanks for posting the lyrics too. It's like sinking your teeth into a granny smith... crisp and exhilarating with a bit of a bite while circumscribed by a million tiny bubble all simultaneously bursting. I'm only on listen number seven. Funny. Thought about watching Firefly too prior to reading your blog and after the song. What does your hair smell like (brand)? I recently changed my shampoo and much to my dismay it has not been a positive modification. Keep listening. :)
ReplyDeleteHey there. Just FYI; the end of the chorus goes:
ReplyDelete'cuz good enough just isn't good enough
"badum pomme pomme pomme". "Pomme" is "Apple" in French. Now the chorus is even more clever, huh? Just thought you'd be interested to know that. :)
ooh, that is interesting, i like it
Deletethank you so much for sharing that with me
i appreciate the info
