I'm the one you thought you'd never find
a sudden coastal holiday makes you see me in a
different way
your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
listing off my favorite things
you say I have too many dreams
but first I wished and now it's true
I'm becoming awfully fond of you
your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
you didn't know me and still you called
I didn't find it strange at all
seeming like the thing to do
I knew it then and so did you
your voice was so hollow
I'm glad you've come to follow me
follow me, follow me
follow me, follow me
It's a good thing songs like this keep coming along for me... I don't know what I'd do without it.
I might explode into a murderous rage and kill the first 13 people I see. I might dissolve into a thin dust and coat everything in my room. I might fall asleep... forever... and never wake up.
Instead I listen to this song, over and over, and it keeps me right there on the edge of sanity. Thanks Page France... I owe you one.
Needless to say this song belongs aside the others on the current mix.
Another addition to my current mix tape project. great great words, listen to Viva Voce, they rock.
in the center of the universe is a star sucking hole,
and the and the lives of every planet
are in danger as it grows.
But it's not the thing that gets me down,
no it's not the thing that brings me down.
In the center of the Earth,
where the heat can melt your brain,
and all the molten lava
comes pouring out like rain.
But it's not the thing that gets me down,
it's not the thing that brings me down.
In the center of my heart, is a beautiful girl
and one tear from her face
could destroy the world.
It's the only thing that gets me down,
it's the only thing that gets me down,
it's the only brings me down.
I've been picking songs very slowly for this mix I'm working on inspired by the last Menomena post. The mix is called "Dear God: Take Notes..." and it's going to be really good. The songs on this mix have lyrics that line up with the premonition I have of what is coming, or are significantly appropriate for how I feel right now.
The general idea is that things are changing for me and I feel it, I felt this way last February and I'd missed this ambition and restlessness. I'm afraid that I'm callousing romantically, but I think that everyone feels like that while they are alone.
I'm hoping that during the process of picking songs and weeding them out, I'll find a conclusion that is more optimistic. I've only used mixtape making as a form of therapy on two other occasions, neither of which were this calculated.
here's the most recent addition to my list, although there's no way to know if it will make the final cut.
New York is lovely in the winter time
All the sidewalks are white as snow
The buildings, all the people that pass me by
How the smile on his face says he's in love
I took the train all the way to Brooklyn Heights
I remember when you took it there with me
We sat side by side and held hands for some time
We saluted the Statue of Liberty
I have much farther to go
Everything is new and so unpredictable
I should just kick my heels together and go home
But I'm not sure where that is anymore
Oh how I wish I could go back in time
To the night when I heard my mother cry
She held me in her arms and we talked for some time
And I sang a song her mother sang to her
And it goes something about paper dolls and what men prefer
Something about the cross and how her Jesus died for her
Something about love and how it's worth living for
I wonder does love like that exist anymore?
I have much farther to go
I'm so confused I know
I should just kick my heels together and go home
But I lost my way when I lost you
Sometimes I cry when it's late at night
And you're not there to lay next to me
Morning breaks and the sun warms my face
How I wish it was you warming me
I swear that Menomena is the music I want to hear all the time right now. This song is foreshadowing... I can feel it.
I'm waiting for the rest of them to come together over me, all the songs that will tell me the future. Once I do, I'll have a prophetic mix tape on my hands and I'll pass it on to God to make sure he gets it right.
I think I can believe in you, who ever you are.
and it depends more on who I am, than who you are.
I will make my love even stronger, and even more foolish.
And when you unravel the secret will travel
It's hard to take risks with a pessimist
I hope that this shaking will help us awaken
Separated by skin ‘til we let ourselves in
It's hard to take risks with a pessimist
It's hard to take risks
I hope one will burn me, I know you’ll desert me
(This is the closest I’ve come to touching you the way I want)
The hope can be painful, I’ll try to be faithful
(It’s hard to take risks)
Ruin My Day
I know it's today, so I guess you could say one recovers
It's odd you should call me but then after all we were lovers
I don't wait by the phone like I used to
I don't hope for kind words you might say
You don't prey on my mind like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You're telling me now you regret how we never connected
Oh, as if you forget that it's me you regret you rejected
I don't easily forgive like I used to
And I seldom get carried away
No, you don't have the pull that you used to
But you can still ruin my day
Oh, you can still ruin my day
"Love, it was nothing
It hardly hurt a bit,"
Sounds good to me, but unfortunately I remember it
Now, I don't lose my place like I used to
I'm not moved by your artful display
No, you can't draw me in like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
I said you can still ruin my day
"Until 6pm"
I'll probably enjoy this more than anyone else, but this is quickly becoming a music journal, and that's ok with me. At least I'm blogging. so one more sotw next week, and then on the 1st of jan the marathon will begin.
"Live On Mars"
My sister heard this randomly listening to user made radio stations on some site she used to frequent. She dragged me into the other room to hear the song, and we both fell in love with it. It took a while to find out who was singing with him, and not till last week did I find out what album it was from (I'd always assumed it was just a bootlegged live recording) The Black Sessions are performances of live music broadcast on the French radio station France Inter. It's a great collection of Live tracks from Yann Tiersen, where he often preforms with others. There's so many good songs on this album, and I was thrilled to obtain it.
Anyway, any fan of any of the three people involved with the making of this track should enjoy it.
