Strictly Music

haven't listed some of the great music I'm listening to these days..

heard this and made me think I should have music-blog night .. really beautiful song.. love this song because the tone of it is just so pure and clear.. greatness..

Nickel Creek - Reasons Why

Where am I today?... I wish that I knew
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead.

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this short of a love that we once knew ..
I'm calling this home when it's not even close -
and playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses - I have my reasons why

We get distracted by dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why

With so much deception it's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away



(following songs from my enormous playlist.. in no particular arrangement/selection)



Dashboard Confessional - Living In Your Letters

I'm aways assuming the worst.. but you're going on nonetheless.. and there's nothing to cushion your heartlet fall... letters from further away.. keep pulling me close to home.. and there's something to cushion my callous sighs.. and I know that you hope for longer goodbyes.. embracing forever.. and falling in your eyes.. in your eyes.. your eyes..
Pouring over photographs - I'm living in your letters
breathe, deeply from this envelope.. it smells like you.. and I can't be.. without that scent.. it's filling me with all you mean to me..
to me..
continually filling these trows.. but you stand by me nonetheless.. and you won't let me sink though I'm begging you.. I'm begging you..
phone calls from further away.. and messages on my machine.. but I don't ever tell you.. this distance.. seems terrible
and there's no need to test my heart
with useless space
these rows go on forever
there will always be a place
for you
in my heart
So I'll hit the pavement it's got to be better than waiting
and pushing you far away
cause I'm scared
so I'll take my chances and head on my way up there
cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten.


Awwww. heehee. Dashboard. mmm.


Dishwalla - Once In A While

When you close your eyes.. do you like what you see.. inside your mind?
And do you like to dream, about the stars above?.. once in a while.
Don't go to the other side
for nothing at all.
Did I make it worth your while? Gonna break down that wall.
Gonna take the fall..

Cause when you close your eyes.. do you like what you see.. inside your mind?
And do you like to dream about the stars above... once in a while? Once in a while.

Don't go to the other side
you might mess up that hair
just wait till you might change your mind
to think that people might care
about your hair anyway

cause when you close your eyes.. do you like what you see.. inside your mind?
And do you like to dream.. about the stars above.. once in a while?

Don't go to the other side
just get down on your knees
and show me what you are made of
I'm begging you please
just please go away

Cause when you close your eyes.. do you like what you see..inside your mind?
Do you like to dream about the stars above.. once in a while..
(repeat)

... thanks to Ky for that song on a cd given to me .. past Christmas..



Norah Jones - The Nearness of You

It's not the pale moon
that excites me
that thrills
and delites me
.. oh no
it's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
that brings this sensation
..oh no
it's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
and I feel you
so close to me
All my wildest dreams
came true
And in those soft lights
to enchant me
if you
will only grant me
the right to hold you ever
so tight
and to feel in the night
the nearness of you

... pretty piano in that

oop.. the new song is getting ahead of me in lyrics (fast)!

Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder On The Dance Floor

It's murder on the dance floor
but you better not kill the groove!
DJ I'm gonna burn this goddam house right down
oh I know I know I know
about your kind
and so and so and so
I'll have to play
If you think you're getting away
I will prove you wrong
I'llt ake you all the way
boy just come along
hear me when I say hey

It's murder on the dance floor.. but you better not kill the groove! hey hey hey
(repeat) but you better not steal the moves

Oh I know I know I know
There may be others
and so and so and so and so
you'll just have to pray

(repise)

... whew.... haha.. pretty fast to type this.. done... haha.. catchy song.. thanks to Al for that ;)



Yaaay.. one of my favorite Tonic songs...

Tonic - Take Me As I Am

I Never knew my father
I never knew his pain
in an empty homelife
broken down again

so when I feel like running
I have to look inside
I want to find the answers
I want to break my life

Fear falls down like rain
and it makes me whole again
Fear falls like rain

Take me as I am
I'm not broken
Pieces of my life(love?) are not tokens

I want to let you know
that I'm still learning
how to love again
and stop hurting

I want to roll my darkness
into a million suns
I need to find forgiveness
when all the pain is done
I want to hear I'm sorry
I have to let you go
I have to find my own life
I want to learn to grown

Fear falls down like rain -
and it makes me whole again!
Fear falls like rain

Take me as I am
I'm not broken
pieces of my love
are not tokens
I want to let you know
that I'm still learning
how to love again
and stop hurting

and it makes me whole again!

(repeat)

So much power behind that song... gosh.. so wonderful

Favorite Yellowcard song up..

Yellowcard - Something of Value

All that I needed to hear from you
something of value
but something untrue
all that I wished that I'd find within you
See how what she wanted
and needed
tore it all down in the end
Somehow
like a sickness
she infects me
she's simple but deadly my friend
all that I needed to hear from you
something of value but something untrue
All that I wished I'd find within you
these things that I see when you took me for granted
and told me it's threw
picked from my pockets and smiled
empty is nothing
and nothing is you
I think that I'll sit for a while
for a while
See how what I wanted and needed wasn't enough in the end
somehow in the quickness I forgot her
I realized she wasn't my friend
All that I wished that I'd find within you
something of value
something untrue

Thanks to Aly for first recommending this awesome band. Too bad I won't be in L.A. when they perform at the HOB :(


Vanessa Carlton - More Than Wanted

I have wandered
far and wide
for something real
something to die for
but I have found you
and you do not see
all that is me
all that is true
and I am more than you will see
and I am more than you will need
and I am more than you will see
more than wanted

And as you fall the flimsy surface
you should know life
lies beneath it
and don't pretend
you feel what I feel
for you live illusion
and I am real
and I am more than you will see
and I am more than you will need
and I am more than you will see
more than wanted
(repeat)
And I know
I know
you like the way you feel
when I play
and I know
I know
you don't really hear what I say
and I know
I know
you are waiting for something to raid (?)
and I know.. I know.. (?)
more than you say
(repeat)
More than wanted
More than you'll need
more than you'll dream
more than you'll hope
more than wanted
more than you'll crave
more than you'll cherish
more than you'll vow
more than wanted

... haha.. I love it... this is girl-emo at its best.. imo. Actually, I don't know what the heck this should be.. yep.. girl-emo :P

Coldplay - Shiver

So I look in your direction
but you pay me no attention
I know you don't listen to me
because you say you see straight through me
don't you
but out of town
from the moment I wake
to the moment I sing
I'll be there by your side
just try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
just to see if you can
Did you want me to change?
Well I changed for good
and I want you to know
that you'll always get your way
I wanted to say
don't shiver
shiver .. (mmm)
I'll always be waiting for you
so you know how much I need ya
but you never even see me
do you
and this is my final chance of getting ..?
but on the dawn?
(repeat)
I'm singing loud and clear!
I'll always be waiting for you
so I look in your direction
but you pay me attention
and you know how much I need ya
but you never even see me


Coldplay... Mmmm. Must see him in concert. Yesss.


Trembling Blue Stars - Nobody But You

What am I gonna do..
I don't want to live without love
but I don't want to love
nobody but you

someone who doesn't want.. me anymore.. me anymore
someone who no longer wants me
what am I going to do?

Anyone else
I'd always be thinking
how they're not you
I'll always be thinking
how they're not you

I just wish that
you'd give me the chance to
never never hurt you again

why must it be that
I was too late in seeing that?
and thinking my love gone -
I couldn't have been more wrong.

(repeat)

What am I going to do
I don't want to be alone in the world
I want you only
but only want you


.... thanks to Derek, for that. Really beautiful song.. especially in how simple it is.


Sophie Beeee...


It felt like soring time
on this february morning
in a courtyard
birds were singing your praise!
I'm still recalling things you said
to make me feel
alright
I carry them with me today
now as I lay me down to sleep
yes I pray
that you will hold me dear
though I will fall away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
and I will wake up happy
I wonder why
I feel so high
though I am not above the sorrow
heavy hearted until you call my name
and it felt like church bells!
or the whistle of a train
on a summer evening.. ... (missed) barely breathing..

(repeat)

It's not too near for me ... (my favorite part all here)
and I will see you.. when the sun comes out again!! ...haha..

Never never do I get tired of this song. It's perfect.. all of the music that compliments it in the background.. her voice.. beautiful lyrics..



Getting tired.. so this is the last song..


Unwritten Law - Follow The Leader

I'm seeing red
I don't think you'll have to see my face again
I don't have much time for sympathy -
cause it never happened to me.

You're feeling blue now
I think you bit off more than you could chew

and now it's time to make a choice

and all I want to hear is your..

so follow..
the lead now
swallow your pride and drown

when there's no place left to go.. maybe that's when you'll know

so follow
the lead now
swallow your pride and drown

when there's no place left to go.. maybe that when you'll know

Them foolish lies.
Well can't you see I try to compromise?
Cause what you say aint always true.
And I can see the tears in your eyes
and what you said now
can't stop the words from running through my head
and what I do to get through to you
but you always do it again

(repeat)

Ooo.... I can confess.. I don't know what to make from all this mess.. don't have much time for sympathy..
but it never happened to me..
you're feeling down now..
I don't know where I'll be when you come around
and now it's time to make a choice
and all I want to hear is your voice.


Another classic favorite of mine. G'night.
