song of the moment - i'm not your hero

song of the moment
i'm not your hero
tegan and sara

standing where i am now, standing up at all

i was used to feeling like i was never gonna see myself at the finish line

hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all

i was used to seeing no future in my sight line

sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me

send all those villains after me

i'm not their hero

but that doesn't mean that i wasn't brave

i never walked the party line

doesn't mean that i was never afraid

i'm not your hero

but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

feeling like i am now lighting up the hall

i was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart

learning all i know now, losing all i did

i never used to feel like i'd be standing so far ahead

sometimes it feels what i recovered you lost

sending your peaceful loss to me

i'm not their hero

but that doesn't mean that i wasn't brave

i never walked the party line

doesn't mean that i was never afraid

i'm not your hero

but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

sometimes it feels like the side that i'm on

plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand

sometimes it feels like i'm all that they've got

it's so hard to know i'm not what they want

sometimes it feels like the side that i'm on

plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand

sometimes it feels like i'm all that they've got

it's so hard to know i'm not what they want

i'm not their hero

but that doesn't mean that i wasn't brave

i never walked the party line

doesn't mean that i was never afraid

i'm not your hero

but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

i do my best to walk the finest line

‘til i've had all that i can take

I saw this video (the first one) a few years ago and absolutely loved it, but didn't know what the name of the song was.  I couldn't remember enough of the lyrics to do a search, and I was bummed.
I was watching a show yesterday, and heard that dude's voice in the background music (he does have a very distinct voice).  I was psyched, cuz I knew I could look up the band from the show.
I did.
Yay!
Why did I feel the need to share all this?
That is an excellent question.
Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
Ummm....   ooh, coffee  :-)

song of the moment - lovesick mistake

song of the moment
lovesick mistake
erin mccarley

oh dear, what can i say?

i'm high here, up and spinning away

from a kiss of a thrill to be filled

can someone hear me?

love, what do you say?

your mystery winds me up to be playful

oh here goes my curious sinner within

is someone listening?

i hope no one is listening

how do i slow down?

i can't relate to my heart now

i’ve thrown what i've known is enough of me out

i'm running on empty

i've gotta find someway

to fumble right through this new heartache, it's torn me apart

oh lovesick mistake, turn me away

time says it's the end of the day

my inside says for your lips to forget what time says

how do i let go of the feel when you steal the logic around me?

oh god save me, i'm trying

how do i slow down?

i can't relate to my heart now

i’ve thrown what i've known is enough of me out

i'm running on empty

i've gotta find someway

to fumble right through this new heartache, it's torn me apart

oh lovesick mistake, turn me away

i think i'll disappear

leave my head in the air for a chance to feel

so far far away from here

i know i can't stay too long

cause i don't belong here

i've gotta find someway

to fumble right through this new heartache, it's torn me apart

oh lovesick mistake

turn me away

turn me away

(featuring jose gonzalez)





strange face, with your eyes
so pale and sincere
underneath, you know well
you have nothing to fear

for the dreams that came to you
when you were young
told of a life where
spring has sprung

you would seem so frail
in the cold of the night
when the armies of emotion
go out to fight

but while the earth
sinks to its grave
you sail to the sky
on the crest of a wave

so forget this cruel world
where i belong
i'll just sit and wait
and sing my song

and if one day
you should see me in the crowd
lend a hand and lift me
to your place in the cloud

hey, maybe the time

just wasn’t right to hang on

when are you gonna learn

things sometimes turn instead of turn out

hey, when are you gonna stand

stop looking over your shoulder

me, with a head full of words

and not one useful expression

hey, hey, let go

we, with holes in our hearts

were whole at the start

our story began

we film ourselves ’til the end

try to suspend our lives in the dark

hey, when are you gonna stand

stop looking over your shoulder

see, there’s a sun in the sky

and a moon that will take us ’til morning

when are you gonna stand

just stop and begin this moment

hey, hey, let go

(will we be the ones to understand)

let go

(will we be the ones to understand)

let go

(will we be the ones to understand)

let go

and tonight i lack the strength to even move, 
when you walked, now watch me die
but i know this is harder for you,
for love has let you down

yeah c'mon
i am not alone

and the road ahead is lined with broken dreams,
so walk, yeah walk on by
and i failed to give you everything you need,
for the fears, behind your eyes

when i can't feel you,
i'm not alright, i'm not alright,
when i can't feel you,
i'm not alright, i'm not alright i'm not alright


when i can't feel you

Jesus as you throw me on the rocks,
for love i left your side
cuz i believed in love and beauty's wiles, 
where heaven shone from your eyes

chain me to your tree
i wanted you to say
i wanted you to say
i wanted to believe
chain me to your tree
i wanted you to say
i wanted you to say

so tell me that it wasn't all for naught,
and it's such a waste now, it's such a waste now c'mon
cause i know your scared but baby don't you hide,
and it's such a waste,
and you'll stand alone now, you'll make it somehow

I'm not actually sure it it's "chain me to your tree" or "chained to your tree" so I went with what I thought it was.  
So there.

song of the moment - in my veins

song of the moment
in my veins
andrew belle (featuring erin mccarley)

nothing goes as planned

everything will break

people say goodbye

in their own special way

all that you can rely on

and all that you can fake

will leave you in the morning

but find you in the day

oh, you're in my veins, and i cannot get you out

oh, you're all i taste, at night inside of my mouth

oh, you run away, cause i am not what you found

oh, you're in my veins, and i cannot get you out

everything will change

nothing stays the same

nobody here’s perfect

oh, but everyone’s to blame

oh, all that you rely on

and all that you can save

will leave you in the morning

but find you in the day

oh, you're in my veins, and i cannot get you out

oh, you're all i taste, at night inside of my mouth

oh, you run away, cause i am not what you found

oh, you're in my veins, and i cannot get you out

no i cannot get you out

no i cannot get you out

oh no, i cannot get you out

no i cannot get you…

everything is dark

it's more than you can take

but you catch a glimpse of sunlight

shining

shining down on your face

your face

on your face

oh, you're in my veins, and i cannot get you out

oh, you're all i taste, at night inside of my mouth

oh, you run away, cause i am not what you found

oh, you're in my veins, and i cannot get you out

no

no, i cannot get you out

no, i cannot get you out

oh no, i cannot get you...

My favorite line is "hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to, hello."

Mine won't always talk to me, I think I pissed it off.

I haven't heard this song in years, and it randomly popped into my head about ten minutes ago.  Actually, just the word cry popped into my head (but it was a very specifically voiced "cry"), and I couldn't place it until I turned off the show I was watching so I could listen to my brain in silence (then it popped more fully into my head).

song of the moment - time lapse lifeline

song of the moment
time lapse lifeline
maria taylor






keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
and they can run they can run from the font to the last rites
and we can hear we can hear the first beat to the flat line
i'm keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
and once it's done

oh we dreamed a life
it was just like that, was just like that
and just like that, and just like that it's done

back it up, back it up
stop, fast-forward, rewind
and watch the sun, watch the moon taking turns in the same sky
and you were dead as the leaves, now you're new like the spring-time
back it up, back it up
stop, fast-forward, rewind
and once it's done

oh we dreamed a life
it was just like that, was just like that
and just like that, and just like that it's done
oh we dreamed a life
it was just like that, was just like that
and just like that, and just like that it's done

still we stand with the help of a steady hand
capture images of boy and man
until it's done
and seven years combined is just the flicker of a neon sign
little negatives of hopes refined
until they're done, oh they're done

oh we dreamed a life
it was just like, was just like that
and just like that, and just like that it's done
oh we dreamed a life
it was just like, was just like that
and just like that, and just like that it's done
oh we dreamed a life
it was just like, was just like that
and just like that, and just like that it's done
