I like the original, too, but there's just something about Sam Beam's voice.

so soothing

song of the moment - new slang

song of the moment
new slang
the shins

gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.

only, i don't know how they got out, dear.

turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.

i was happier then with no mind-set.

and if you'da took to me like

a gull takes to the wind.

well, i'da jumped from my tree

and i'da danced like the king of the eyesores

and the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

new slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.

hope it's right when you die, old and bony.

dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,

never shoulda called

but my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

and if you'da took to me like

a gull takes to the wind.

well, i'da jumped from my tree

and i'da danced like the king of the eyesores

and the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

god speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,

and bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

i'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.

without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?

and if you'da took to me like

well i'da danced like the queen of the eyesores

and the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

Kinda funny to hear his music and actually enjoy it and take it seriously, cuz everything I've seen him in, Jason Schwartzman is such a doof. Amusing as fuck, but a doof nonetheless.

Now I discover that his side project makes me reconsider my view.

Messin with my head, man, cheap shot.

song of the moment - getting scared

song of the moment

getting scared

imogen heap

turn your ugly face

are you so surprised to see me

yeah i was your little childhood playground toy

and if i remember

yeah if i do remember rightly

i said the tables will be turned around boy

who's getting scared now

tell me, tell me how does it feel

it feels so good from where im standing

the only times of my life

the sun was meant to shine for me

you made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain

dug my pride with a knife

encaged by your obsession with me

time was mental torture and screams of justified pain

so ya gonna chase me now boy

yeah ya gonna corner me now boy

you think ya gonna threaten me now boy

somehow i dont think so

yeah ya gonna stamp me down now boy

yeah ya gonna crush me down now boy

you think ya gonna threaten me now boy

somehow i dont think so

who's getting scared now, tell me,

tell me how does it feel

it feels so good from where im standing

yeah youre getting scared now, piggy,

go ahead and squeal

it sounds so nice from where im standing

who's getting scared?

who's getting scared now?

It's hard to express how much I love this song. It makes me feel strong, and, for some reason, vindicated.

Odd.

song of the moment - feel it in my bones

I dig the eye makeup, and, you know, them.

song of the moment - skeleton key

song of the moment

skeleton key

margot & the nuclear so and sos

i did a sick, sick thing to my love.
my lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.
and she cooks me food.
she squirmed and turned like a skeleton key.

she left her man unattended to me.
don't call me that.
don't claim you love me
cause you know that ain't true.

and you're finally free
to twist and turn like a skeleton key.

you've gotta let me know.
you've gotta let me know.

i did a horrible thing to that girl.
i bred my misery and drowned it in her.
and she got me high,
and i hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes.

and i miss you less and less everyday.
this stream of whisky helps to wash you away.

and it's clear to see,
you're nothing special.
you're a skeleton key.

you've gotta let me know.
you've gotta let me know.
you've gotta let me know.
you've gotta let me know.

whooo!

song of the moment - some of us

song of the moment

some of us

starsailor

heard you today, that isn't my name, you were fast asleep,

forget what he did, can i be the kid for your soul to keep.

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

i've grown to see the philosophy of my own mistrust,

we all have our faults, mine come in waves that you turn to rust,

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

i've been hanging onto something,

you keep laughing awe-inspiring.

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

my wandering soul found solace at last,

i wanted to know how long it would last.

she's losing control, she's coming down fast,

the heart that i stole, i'm not giving back, never giving back.

I love the chorus of this song.

song of the moment - someday you will be loved

song of the moment

someday you will be loved

death cab for cutie

i once knew a girl

in the years of my youth

with eyes like the summer

all beauty and truth

in the morning i fled

left a note and it read

someday you will be loved.

i cannot pretend that i felt any regret

cause each broken heart will eventually mend

as the blood runs red down the needle and thread

someday you will be loved

you'll be loved you'll be loved

like you never have known

the memories of me

will seem more like bad dreams

just a series of blurs

like i never occurred

someday you will be loved

you may feel alone when you're falling asleep

and every time tears roll down your cheeks

but i know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet

someday you will be loved

you'll be loved you'll be loved

like you never have known

the memories of me

will seem more like bad dreams

just a series of blurs

like i never occurred

someday you will be loved

you'll be loved you'll be loved

like you never have known

the memories of me

will seem more like bad dreams

just a series of blurs

like i never occurred

someday you will be loved

someday you will be loved

This song makes me feel something, not sure what, and not sure it's good, but it's definitely something.

song of the moment - trouble is a friend

song of the moment

trouble is a friend

lenka

trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
no matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
the eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
you're fine for a while but you start to lose control

he's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
he waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
and no matter what i feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
he sees what i see and he knows what i know, oh oh
so don't forget as you ease on down the road

he's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
he waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

so don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
i won't let him win, but i'm a sucker for his charm
trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

oh how i hate the way he makes me feel
and how i try to make him leave, i try
oh oh, i try!

he's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
he waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

so don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
i won't let him win, but i'm a sucker for his charm
trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh

How fuckin kickass is that video?

song of the moment - set fire to the third bar

song of the moment

set fire to the third bar

snow patrol (featuring martha wainwright)

i find the map and draw a straight line

over rivers, farms, and state lines

the distance from 'a' to where you'd be

it's only finger-lengths that i see

i touch the place where i'd find your face

my fingers in creases of distant dark places

i hang my coat up in the first bar

there is no peace that i've found so far

the laughter penetrates my silence

as drunken men find flaws in science

their words mostly noises

ghosts with just voices

your words in my memory

are like music to me

i'm miles from where you are,

i lay down on the cold ground

i, i pray that something picks me up

and sets me down in your warm arms

after i have travelled so far

we'd set the fire to the third bar

we'd share each other like an island

until exhausted, close our eyelids

and dreaming, pick up from

the last place we left off

your soft skin is weeping

a joy you can't keep in

i'm miles from where you are,

i lay down on the cold ground

and i, i pray that something picks me up

and sets me down in your warm arms

i'm miles from where you are,

i lay down on the cold ground

and i, i pray that something picks me up

and sets me down in your warm arms

I like something about this song, but at the same time, I find the female vocals eerie.
It's offputting.
I'm offput.

song of the moment - nobody knows me at all

song of the moment

nobody knows me at all

the weepies

when i was a child everybody smiled, nobody knows me at all

very late at night and in the morning light, nobody knows me at all

now i got lots of friends, yes, but then again, nobody knows me at all

kids and a wife, it's a beautiful life, nobody knows me at all

and oh when the lights are low

oh with someone i don't know

i don't give a damn, i'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all

ah, what can you do? there's nobody like you. nobody knows me at all

i know how you feel, no secrets to reveal, nobody knows me at all

very late at night and in the morning light, nobody knows me at all

nobody knows me, nobody knows me, nobody knows me at all
