song of the moment - 28

song of the moment
28
lorene scafaria




here it comes
guess for years i have tried to calm
what's inside me but something's wrong
i don't know what to say
to give me away

the dream's the same:
i'm alone on a moving train
wake up here and i can't complain,
and there's the first mistake
i tried not to make
next time around that's a habit to break
when i turn 28
things are gonna be great at 28

so don't sit so close
can't you see that i'm already yours?
every day i've been living indoors
tell them i was brave
tell yourself the same
tell everyone that i plan to go straight
when i turn 28
things are gonna be great at 28
ah 28

they said that i would get used to the change
but i can't keep my eyes on the page
shouldn't be writing these songs at my age
the candle's lit
waiting patient for me to sit,
but none of last year's clothes still fit,
and i keep waiting for you to enter the room
i made my wish let me give it to you
when i turn 28
things are gonna be great at 28

at 28, tell everyone that they'll just have to wait
when i turn 29
things are gonna be fine at 29

Just watched Whip It again. Oh, how I love that movie.

song of the moment - hazy

song of the moment
hazy
rosi golan featuring william fitzsimmons





i watched you sleepin' quietly in my bed
you don't know this now but
there's some things that need to be said
and it's all that i can hear
it's more than i can bear

what if i fall and hurt myself
would you know how to fix me?
what if i went and lost myself
would you know where to find me?
if i forgot who i am
would you please remind me?
oh, cause without you things go hazy

i watched you sleepin' quietly in my bed

what if i went and lost myself

Disappointingly shy in the harmony department for a duet.
I do love me the harmonies, and what was there, like two lines with harmony?
I shake my head.
Oh well, still a ridiculously pretty song, the voices match it all kickasslike.

song of the moment - hands up baby

song of the moment
hands up baby
camera obscura




i've been hanging round
everywhere you go in town
watching you forget me
i want to see you crack
i'm going to get you back
put your hands up baby

you're talking to me like i'm in your debt
you don't remember things i can't forget
now you don't look so well
turn that gun back on yourself
and take a load off baby
i've had enough this time
give me back my boots you swine
it's your fault you hate me

i only hate you 'cause i hate myself
it breaks my heart that i can't wish you well
now i could end this here
die and take you with me dear
it could be so easy...

i don't care what you do
i’ll still be rid of you
just make your mind up baby

i'll turn around and walk away from you
if i turn back i'll be the death of you

The third paragraph reminds me of someone I wouldn't date.

song of the moment - numb

song of the moment
numb
diana vickers




i feel numb
my every nerve has lost its feeling
no air left in my lungs
a gasp of breath is all i'm craving

it's the opposite of love
all things decay and rust
it's the ugly side of us
oh mother hold me

n.u.m.b.
i feel empty
of feeling, of feeling
even god is grieving
n.u.m.b.
elevate me
i'm drowning, i'm drowning
please god, i'm numb to life

i feel numb
all my dreams have lost their meaning
total eclipse of the sun
the guilty part is yours for keeping

it's the opposite of light
i'm the owl, of the night
set me free so i can fly
let me go don't hold me

n.u.m.b.
i feel empty
of feeling, of feeling
even god is grieving
n.u.m.b.
elevate me
i'm drowning, i'm drowning
please god, i'm numb to life

n.u.m.b.
i feel empty
of feeling, of feeling
even god is grieving
n.u.m.b.
elevate me
i'm drowning, i'm drowning
please god, i'm numb to life

please god, i'm numb to life
please god, i'm drowning
please god, i'm numb to life

song of the moment - when you thought you'd never stand out

song of the moment
when you thought you'd never stand out
copeland




in other lives
in a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine
i wrote the plotline
only i knew who survived
who survived
and through the night
in a really fast car on an uphill climb
blew past a danger sign
and fell through darkness sublime
but awoke just in time

they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
but not for the last time

in younger days
i do my schoolwork while the neighbors play
but stare into space
with no feeling to convey
with no look on my face
in younger days
i’m stealing bases while my mother prays
and dreading to wake
longing for one more play
one more play

they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
but not for the last time

i don’t know what everyone was looking at
i don’t care what everyone was laughing at
i don’t know what everyone was staring at
i think, i think that it’s me

i don’t know what everyone was looking at
i don’t care what everyone was laughing at
i don’t know what everyone was staring at
i think, i think that it’s me

didn’t i tell you that i could hear you running out?
didn’t i find you when i knew you were hiding out?

in mixedy mashedy overlappediness:

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
didn’t i find you? didn’t i find you?

i don’t know what everyone was looking at
i don’t care what everyone was laughing at
i don’t know what everyone was staring at
i think, i think that it’s me

they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight

didn’t i tell you that i could hear you running out?
didn’t i find you when i knew you were hiding out?
didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
didn’t i find you?

in understandable and articulate overlappedy endiness:

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
didn’t i find you?

they’re gonna come to light tonight

i think, i think that it’s me

song of the moment - not going anywhere

song of the moment
not going anywhere
keren ann




this is why i always wonder
i'm a pond full of regrets
i always try to not remember rather than forget

this is why i always whisper
when vagabonds are passing by
i tend to keep myself away from their goodbyes

tide will rise and fall along the bay
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
people come and go and walk away
but i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere

this is why i always whisper
i'm a river with a spell
i like to hear but not to listen,
i like to say but not to tell

this is why i always wonder
there's nothing new under the sun
i won't go anywhere so give my love to everyone

tide will rise and fall along the bay
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
people come and go and walk away
but i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
tide will rise and fall along the bay
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
they come and go and walk away
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
they come and go and walk away
but i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere

song of the moment - look what you've done

song of the moment
look what you've done
jet



take my photo off the wall
if it just won't sing for you
cause all that's left has gone away
and there's nothing there for you to prove

oh, look what you've done
you've made a fool of everyone
oh well, it seems like such fun
until you lose what you had won

give me back my point of view
cause i just can't think for you
i can hardly hear you say
what should i do, well you choose

oh, look what you've done
you've made a fool of everyone
oh well, it seems like such fun
until you lose what you had won

oh, look what you've done
you've made a fool of everyone
a fool of everyone
a fool of everyone

take my photo off the wall
if it just won't sing for you
cause all that's left has gone away
and there's nothing there for you to do

oh, look what you've done
you've made a fool of everyone
oh well, it seems like such fun
until you lose what you had won

oh, look what you've done
you've made a fool of everyone
a fool of everyone
a fool of everyone

song of the moment - everything at once

song of the moment
everything at once
lenka





as sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
as fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
as free as a bird, as neat as a word
as quiet as a mouse, as big as a house

all i wanna be, all i wanna be, oh
all i wanna be is everything

as mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
as deep as a bite, as dark as the night
as sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
as long as a road, as ugly as a toad

as pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
strong like a family, strong as i wanna be
bright as day, as light as play
as hard as nails, as grand as a whale

all i wanna be, oh, all i wanna be, oh
all i wanna be is everything
everything at once
everything at once, oh
everything at once

as warm as the sun, as silly as fun
as cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
as hot as fire, cold as ice
sweet as sugar and everything nice

as old as time, as straight as a line
as royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
pure as a melody, pure as i wanna be

all i wanna be, oh, all i wanna be, oh
all i wanna be is everything
everything at once

My head is fucking killing me.
Not like this is new, in any way, but I do enjoy stating the obvious.
Oh, hey, have you heard water is wet? Shocking, I know.

let me know if the links don't work

so i can give a stern talking to, or maybe even fix them
(depends on how much coffee i've had)
