Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight


Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down


Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play


Bang bang
I shot you down, bang bang
You hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
I used to shoot you down


Music played and people sang?
Just for me the church bells rang?


Now he's gone I don't know why
And till this day some times I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie


Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down.

Hang Me Out To Dry - Cold War Kids

I dedicate this song to a special person...

Suggestions - Orelia

It just takes a second for my world to come crumbling down

Oh I'm sure in the distance you can hear that awful sound

How I plead for an answer

Plead for an answer from you

But if you give me and answer that just makes no sense

Then whats the use

And just like that my life is broken

I can barely breath

And now I'm open for suggestions

At the end of the day life's a lesson

Life's a lesson

So why cant he see from my point of view

And how many seconds in the hours of a day we lose

Was it me or his feelings

Me or his feelings that day

Cause I just stood there in silence

Watched while my world away

And just like that my world was broken

I can barely breath and now I'm open for suggestions

At the end of the day life's a lesson

My life's a lesson

Hollow, oh

Feel it in the air that I breath come over me

Come over me

Now I'm broken

Oh yes I'm open for suggestions

Life's a lesson

Now I'm free cause life's a lesson

Oh why can I see it from his point of view?

And how many seconds in the hours will I make him lose?

Oh he said it was him or the answer

It was him or the answer that day

Well I kept shouting out the answer so what was the use anyway?

Katie Herzig - Hologram

Somewhere Only We Know - Keane

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Five For Fighting - "Chances"

Bullet For My Valentine - Bittersweet Memories

You turn me off at the push of a button/And you pretend that I dont mean nothing/I'm not a saint, thats easy to tell/But guess what honey, you aint no angel.

You like to scream these words as a weapon/Well go ahead; take your best shot woman/I wanna leave you; its easy to see/Well guess what honey, its not that easy.

We got so complicated/This fingers for our memories/So rip my pictures from your wall/Tear them down and burn them all/Light the fire and walk away/Theres nothing left to say so/Take the ashes from the floor/Bury them to just make sure/That nothing more is left of me/Than bittersweet memories(Memories)

I wanna run and escape from your prison/But when I leave I feel something is missing/Im not afraid thats easy to tell/This cant be heaven it feels like Im in hell/Youre like a drug that I cant stop taking/I want more and I cant stop craving/I still want you/ its easy to see/But guess what honey youre not that good for me

We got so complicated/This fingers for our memories/So rip my pictures from your wall/Tear them down and burn them all/Light the fire and walk away/Theres nothing left to say so/Take the ashes from the floor/Bury them to just make sure/That nothing more is left of me/Than bittersweet memories

Just bittersweet memories

We got so complicated/These fingers full of memories/We got so complicated

So rip my pictures from your wall/Tear them down and burn them all/Light the fire and walk away/Theres nothing left to say so/Take the ashes from the floor/Bury them to just make sure/That nothing more is left of me/Than bittersweet memories

Theres nothing left to say/Theres nothing left to say.

Over The Rainbow

I have 9 different covers of the song Over The Rainbow. It has to be one of my very favorite songs!

The newest to my collection is of course, the Glee Cast Version!

We The Kings ft. Demi Lovato: We'll Be A Dream

I'm Honest To A Fault, It's Just Who I Am

Better As A Memory - Kenny Chesney

I move on like a sinners prayer
I let 'em go like a levee breaks
walk away as if I don't care
learn to shoulder my mistakes
I'm built to fade like your favorite song
gettin' reckless when there's no need
laugh as your stories ramble on
break my heart but it won't bleed
my only friends are pirates, it's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man.

I'm never sure when the truth won't do
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
I move on the way a storm blows through
I never stay, but then again, I might
I struggle sometimes to find the words
always sure until I doubt
walk a line until it blurs
build walls too high to climb out
but I'm honest to a fault, it's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man

I see you leanin', you're bound to fall
I don't want to be that mistake
I'm just a dreamer, nothing more
you should know it before it gets too late

cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
you never know where they're gonna land
first you're spinning, then you're standing still
left holding a losin' hand
but one day you're gonna find someone
right away, you'll know it's true
that all of your seeking's done
it was just a part of the passing through
right there in that moment
you'll finally understand
that I was better as a memory than as your man

better as a memory than as your man

This. Is. You.

I had a particular friend email this video to me and left me with 3 words.

This. Is. You.

Am I the only one that finds this commical?

Collide - Rachael Yamagata

Live Version


Recorded Version


I’ll fascinate you for awhile
My hands in wait to please, so well
When I wake to realize, all I’d done
I’ll be breaking strings
And all you’re gonna feel
Is undone

I will not stay if you ask me to stay
Do not ask me to stay because I will not stay

Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides

Your resignation, don’t simply file
Its not always about your love
What I wake up to find
All I’ve done is unkind
All you’re gonna feel
Is untied
Untied

Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides

Why do we always collide
Stuck onto different sides

Why do we always collide
Stuck on two different sides

Why do we all
Why do we all

Between The Minds

I've never been the one to shout because I listen. I don't like to raise my voice. And maybe I should learn to lose my inhibition, and let my feelings make some noise...

Florence &The Machine - Drumming Song

Dear Mr.

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell



There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din

But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

Anya Marina "All The Same To Me" live at Paste

I won't run
When the sky turns to flame
And I sure won't budge
When the earth does shake
When the flood comes up
I will dance in the rain
'Cause it's all the same to me

Somebody care
Somebody care
Somebody care for me
Somebody care
Somebody care
Somebody care for me

And it's all I live for
The air I breathe
So it's all the same to me
Yeah, it's all the same to me

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe
Eyie Eyie Eyie Oh

Where you

Where you go
Well, it's all the same to me

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe

Don't you know
That it's all the same to me?

Somebody do
Somebody do
Somebody do you wrong
Don't let 'em kill
Don't let 'em kill
Don't let 'em kill your soul
So, I keep on shuffling on and on
'Cause it's all the same to me

I won't run
When the sky turns to flame
And I sure won't budge
When the earth does shake
When the flood comes up
I will dance in the rain
'Cause it's all the same to me

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe

Where you
Where you
Where you go
Well, it's all the same to me

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe
I won't holler, let me go

Don't you

Don't you know
That it's all the same to me?

Somebody

Somebody care for me

And it's all I live for
The air I breathe
So it's all the same to me
Yes, it's all the same to me
Well, it's all the same to me

Melody - Kate Earl

I spent my weekend driving all across the state of Utah. Naturally it was full of music, and thinking, and accepting of a lot of things going on around me.

I drove to Cedar City friday morning with my dear friend Marisa. She graduated from Southern Utah University, and I am so happy I was able to watch her participate in the graduation ceremony! I stopped to visit my twinbrotherIneverwantedbutloveanyway Chris. I met his fantastic girlfriend Stephy! I spent Friday night and Saturday morning with my darling Jo, where we shared so much! I love her and I am sooo happy we are family! I wouldn't have made it this far in life if it wasn't for her! After the graduation ceremony I went back to help Jo pack some of her things into my car. I had volunteered my boat sized lumina to her, and offered to drive her stuff to her. I was headed in that direction anyway. During my solitary drive to Kaysville I was able to think about everything that was going on in my life, from my dad and his current state of being as well as my current family situation, to my school and what I want out of life, etc. It was a really good time for me. I finished the night by driving to Logan to visit with a friend. The next morning I left around 7am, it was snowing in Logan (go figure... Ha!) but I found I didn't mind it. That funny little town has a comforting feel, and a gorgeous scenery. Driving back through the canyon was somewhat of a surreal experience. Logan was very green, the colors of every thing around held such depth! Slowly the world turned into a gray scale, it was sort of like walking into a black and white film after passing through one of Disneys Remastered films. It was so unique, and oddly pointed. I felt like I was watching Nature paint out my life. As the canyon walls picked up color again I finally reached a few conclusions, and made an important decision that will be seen within the next few months. I didn't go straight home. I stopped at the Jordan River Parkway, and took a little walk. I took a few pictures and let my ipod play on shuffle for a bit, while I enjoyed the color depth the rain had left.

On the drive home from the parkway this song came on. I really resonated with what she is saying, and cannot stop listening to it. I know I say this all the time, but this really fits me in this moment. I love that music is always there as an escape, and there is always, and will always be a song that sings out what my heart cannot, or will not say. I may not have my dad's ability to pull out the music in my head for everyone to share, but I at the very least am able to lose myself in the sound of my own melody.

No matter what has ever come to me
I got my own brand of company
I got da da da inside my head
And i play songs back to back until i got to bed

Wake up by myself inside an empty room
There's no body next to mine to oooh
But my skin is warm and my heart is full
It's the do do do do do do

Walking waking on a crowded street
With my headphones loud
So my hips can swing, so my head can nod
To the rock and roll to the boom boom beat

and i find that i'm never alone
and i find that my heart is my home
and the music within makes me whole
A world that i built on my own

and i know that i'm never alone
and i know that my heart is my home
Every missing piece of me
I can find in a melody

No matter what has ever come to me
I got my own kind of company
I got ba ba ba inside my head
And i sing songs back to back until i go to bed

There's a river in my mind that's never still
Swirling, soothing all the time gives me a thrill
Swimming in the notes that go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Wandering, waking in an empty wood
It is quiet here, i am powerful
I look down below serenade the world
From inside my soul

and i find that i'm never alone
and i find that my heart is my home
and the music within makes me whole
A world that i built on my own

and i know that i'm never alone
and i know that my heart is my home
Every missing piece of me
I can find in a melody

When the walls begin to creep in
And the sky is fallin down
When i'm swallowed up in feelings
I get lost inside the sound...

Save Us - Cartel

I had a friend bring this song to my attention this past weekend. 

I fell in love with the piano in the background.

Simple words we never knew,
The power behind what they put us through,
Now it's all begun,
What it takes to make it real.
We're standing on the edge of this,
When our soul is gone what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really, really feel.

And better days behind us now,
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
But who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, and can you save us?
Well I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.

We hold these truths self evident,
The lies we used to represent
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
And all the songs we used to sing, they used to tell us everything.
Now we're left with, all we're left is memories.

But the better days behind us now.
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
But who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, and can you save us?
Well I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.

Say the words, give it all the time you need.
Let it out, oh, just say anything.
Say the words and make them count,
Say the words without a doubt.
Give us truth and nothing more,
Leave us wanting more and more.

But who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
Well I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you say, you say, you'll save us?
And I can't go on, we're out of rhythm with our time. 

Pirate On The Run

It was a better than average afternoon, it had been raining, as I drove to Bingham High School to pick my sister and her best friend up from school. I was listening to Pat Monahan's solo album, when Pirate On The Run came on. I'd never listened to this song, I liked it from the start. I love when a song tells a story! As I move through the song a female starts to sing; I know I know this voice. I get this feeling in my stomache and the chords change... I all but slam my car to a halt in the middle of the street when I realize it's BRANDI FREAKING CARLILE!!!!!!!!!! Two of my very favorite music artists! Singing. Together. LOVE!

Oh it made my day!

This Ain't Goodbye.

Dear You,

I found our song.

I love you forever in our special way!

This is not where our story ends, 

As long as we've got time, then this ain't goodbye.

This is just where love goes...

Yours,

Miss Jess

F, F A, & F L 

You and I were friends from outer space 

Afraid to let go 

The only two who understood this place 

And as far as we know

We were way before our time 

As bold as we were blind 

Just another perfect mistake 

Another bridge to take 

On the way of letting go,

This ain't goodbye 

This is just where love goes 

When words aren't warm enough

To keep away the cold

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

It's not where our story ends

But I know you can't be mine

Not the way you've always been

As long as we've got time

Then this ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

We were stars up in the sunlit sky

That no one else could see

Neither of us thought to ever ask why

It wasn't meant to be

Maybe we were way too high to ever understand

Baby, we were victims of all

All the foolish plans 

We began to divide

But this ain't goodbye

This just where love goes

When words aren't warm enough 

To keep away the cold

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

It's not where our story ends

But I know you can't be mine

Not the way you've always been

As long as we've got time 

This ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye 

Oh, Oh, 

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

Na na na

na na na 

na na na na na na na

na na na

This ain't goodbye

  

You and I were friends from outer space

Afraid to let go

The only two who understood this place

As far as we know

This ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

This ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

This ain't goodbye

This is just where love goes

When words aren't warm enough

To keep away the cold

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

It's not where our story ends

But I know you can't be mine

Not the way you've always been

Oh no, don't say it

Na na na

Na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na

Don't say goodbye

If It's Love - Train

Dear Favorite couple of mine! This song reminds me of you!

Love,
Jess



P.S. This would be the 100th post for this blog!

Wonderful - Rob Thomas

Look at me I'm made of wonderful, wonderful
I'm all easy breath and steady walk, steady walking
But underneath I'm barely moving, no
Its like I'm nothing
All the ways they had to make me smile and then they go and break me

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then [x3]

Look at me, I'm made of wonderful, it's terrible
I'm all easy come and easy go
As far as you know
But underneath, man, I'm just killing time
I guess I'm past my prime
and now I'm overrated, overdressed, and overstated

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then [x3]

If I put my hands up, put your hands up
If I fall down
If I lose my place
And I don't know just where I'm supposed to go
If you'll be there when I wake
Would you love me then?

And I come home tired
And I come home late
Everybody wants me
So I give it away
I'm a wanted man [x4]

Would you love me then [x3]

Throwing Stones - Paula Cole

so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
there you go again you cut me off from talkin'
you bask in the glory
the center of the circle
all the friends think you're a comedian
so kind and generous
and i am suffering
away from here
i wanna be
away from here
away from here
away from every little thing
every little thing
i used to love your every little every little thing
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
you're the puppeteer and i'm the puppet
you manipulate me with your real catholic shit
everytime i try to talk it through
you turn it around and make it suffer
like david and goliath
away from here
i wanna be
away from here
away from here
away from every little thing
every little thing
i used to love your every little every little thing
now you call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
your arms beneath me
your lying inside me
i used to love your every little every little thing
your eyes grew stars
your hand in my purse
and now i hate your every little everything all day
oh mama
i didn't know life was this hard
oh mama
my innocence has been tarred
my inner vision, dulled and darkened
i keep myself away to you
i fuck my sorrow humbly
and throw my crown upon the ground
it's you i hope for
and us i pray for
and me that i believed that was wrong
and now my anger is my best friend
be careful i may bite your head off
liar
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll you a motherfucker
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll you a motherfucker
and we'll throw stones until we're dead

Everything - Buckcherry

Buried way beneath the sheets I think she’s having a meltdown
Finding it hard to fall asleep she won’t let anyone help her

The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her
I wannna be I want everything, I want everything

Somewhere she is on the streets trying to make things better
Praying to God and breathing deep gotta break this long obsession

The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her
I wanna be I want everything, I want everything I want everything
I wanna be I want everything, I want everything yeah

If I had everything would I still wanna be alive or wanna be high
If I had everything would I still wanna be alive or wanna be high

Now and then she talks to me and sometimes writes me letters

The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her
I wanna be I want everything, I want everything
you know I, I wanna be yeah I want everything
I wanted everything everything

Your eyes, never close your eyes and open up your mind and baby you can have everything everything
Your eye, never close your eyes and open up your mind oh and baby you can have everything

KSM

KSM has finally released their debut album. Read Between The Lines.

I Want You To Want Me:

Read Between The Lines:

Everything used to be simple with you and me
A picture perfect world
I don't know what changed, but you're not the same
You sure know how to confuse a girl

We were all about hanging out
Never had a single doubt
We would be forever more
But lately you're so distant, almost somebody different
That I never met before

You say it's all right, but something's wrong
I can see it in your eyes
If I turn around, will you be gone
Are we running out of time?
I'm not stupid I see through it
I can read between the lines

Ooh (Ooh)
Ooh, Oh

You used to call to say you miss me
Now I guess you're way too busy
It isn't hard to tell
What we had is fading and
I hear what you're saying
But I don't believe it myself

If it's all good, then I should
Feel better and I could pretend that
Everything's okay
Call it intuition or a premonition
But I can feel you walking away

You say it's all right, but something's wrong
I can see it in your eyes
If I turn around, will you be gone
Are we running out of time?
I'm not stupid I see through it
I can read between the lines

Guess I've been wasting time
I couldn't read the signs
But don't you worry 'cause
I know how to say goodbye

Beat Me Up - Allison Iraheta

You like to keep me on a chain, chain, chain
Change your mind or change your ways, ways, ways
You got me running through a maze, maze, maze
I know this isn’t just a phase, phase, phase

You always pick me up
And then you hold me down
I’ll never let you go

‘Cause baby even though you beat me up, beat me up
I still love you ‘cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that’s why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running ‘cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up

You always make me do those things, things, things
Shut me up then make me sing, sing, sing
You love it when I scream your name, name, name
But you get your kicks out of causing me pain, pain, pain

You always pick me up
And then you hold me down
I guess you’ll never know

‘Cause baby even though you beat me up, beat me up
I still love you ‘cause you heat me up, heat me up
And that’s why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running ‘cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I love you even though you beat me up, beat me up

And I really don’t care what they say about me
‘Cause it gives me everything I want
And I don’t know what it’s like when you need somebody
To the point they can do no wrong
We always fight and then I open up my door

‘Cause baby even though you beat me up, beat me up
I still love you ‘cause heat me up, heat me up
And that’s why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running ‘cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I still love you ‘cause heat me up, heat me up
And that’s why every time you hit me up, hit me up
I come running ‘cause you fix me up, fix me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
Oh baby just beat me up, beat me up
I love you even though you beat me up, beat me up

My Cowboy

And my personal favorite: Big Mouth

If it pops into my head
its coming straight out my mouth
if you ain't treating me right
its something you'll hear about
i can't be little miss sunshine
all of the time
if you want a piece of my heart
you'll get a piece of my mind

oh! if i got something to say
oh! if i ain't gettin my way
oh! if its important to me

i stand up and scream
to get what i need
i got a big mouth
i got a big mouth
don't care what you think
i don't give a beep
as long as you listen to me
when i turn it up and say it loud
cause im not afraid
to give you a taste
without the sugar coating
what can i say
the words just come out
i got a big mouth

some people go with the crowd
they never say what they think
they don't wanna rock the boat
cause their afraid it will sink
but i can't sit on my hands
when i know something ain't right
cause when you bottle it all up baby
it will eat you alive

oh! if i got something to say
oh! if i ain't gettin my way
oh! if its important to me

i stand up and scream
to get what i need
i got a big mouth
i got a big mouth
don't care what you think
i don't give a beep
as long as you listen to me
when i turn it up and sing it loud
cause im not afraid
to give you a taste
without the sugar coating
what can i say
the words just come out
i got a big mouth

haven't you ever wished
that you could go back in time
and do something different
haven't you ever wished
you could go back tonight
and say what you really meant
say what you really meant

If it pops into my head
its coming straight out my mouth
if you ain't treating me right

i stand up and scream
to get what i need
i got a big mouth
i got a big mouth
don't care what you think
i don't give a beep
as long as you listen to me
when i turn it up and sing it loud
cause I'm not afraid
to give you a taste
without the sugar coating
what can i say
the words just come out
i got a big mouth

Brandi Carlile - Again Today

I woke up this morning with a specific part of this song stuck in my head. It was very ironic, especially as I handn't heard this song in awhile. After the happenings and conversations of this morning I realize there was a specific meaning for those lyrics being there. "I'm afraid to sink I'm afraid to swim. I'm sad to say I miss my friends. But they need me to stay." 





Broken sticks and broken stones
Will turn to dust just like our bones
It's words that hurt the most now isn't it
Are you sad inside, are you home alone
If I could just pick up the phone
Maybe you could see a better day
And you won't waste away
under my watchful eye
Because I'm your hero and you're my weakness

Who's gonna break my fall
When the spinning starts
The colors bleed together and fade
Was it ever there at all
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today

I'm broken down, not good enough
The broken promises add up
To twice their weight in tears which I have caused

I'm afraid to sink, I'm afraid to swim
I'm sad to say I miss my friends
I know that I'm supposed to step away
But they need me to stay and keep a watchful eye
On all my heroes and all their demons
But who's gonna break my fall
When the spinning starts
The colors bleed together and fade
Was it ever there at all
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today

Not today
Not today

Was it ever there at all
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today

Broken sticks and broken stones
Will turn to dust just like our bones again today
I'm broken down
Not good enough
The broken promises add up again today

Was it ever there at all
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today
Again today 

Calling All Angels - Brandi and Tiffany Carlile

I really wish they had this recorded for purchase!

Sisters have a special power, especially when put to harmony as these sisters have done!

If You Think You Need Some Lovin' - Pomplamoose

I am in love with this group! I love her voice, I love the originality of the videos! I can't stop listening to them! Visit http://www.youtube.com/pomplamoosemusic




If you think i'll give you money, well honey that's just funny cuz i got none. No money, ain't got no money. If you just want conversation go somewhere in the nation, not my house. But if you think you need some lovin, that's fine. Cuz if you think you need some money, well you can't have mine, and if you want some conversation try a pickup line. But if you think you need some lovin, that's fine.

If you think you need a shrink, you're draining down the sink, go take a hike. Ain't got no time for your baggage. If you think you need a fix, don't put me in the mix, just stick to wine. Whine, wine, whine, wine, whine, wine. But if you think you need some lovin, that's fine. Cuz if you think you need a shrink, well I'm out of time. And if you think you need a fix, I'm not the fixing kind. But if you think you need some lovin, that's fine.

Joanna

I believe I put one of her songs on here once before, but I finally managed to get my hands on her full album (This Crazy Life). Love it!
So... her single 'Let Go' is my favorite, but I couldn't find a proper video to share. Instead I've given you a few of the other songs I enjoyed!

Ali Milner

I love this artist! I know I say that alot, but she is definitely someone to watch! Enjoy!

Run

Run - Originally by Snow Patrol


Now a Leona Lewis Single.
The official music video is here
This video is a live version for you!

I Know The Truth - Aida

Aida. I love Aida. Elton John. You know it has to be good if it was written by Elton John... and it is! Even if you don't particularly enjoy musicals, try listening to the music from this show. It's unbelievable!

While I love this number, it isn't my absolute favorite piece from this musical. However, it was one of the only ones with the embedding enabled.

Pride And Joy - Brandi Carlile

I have always been an avid lover of Brandi Carlile, since the day I first heard her music. This latest album of hers has been a really moving one for me. This song, particularly, has been on a constant repeat every time I hear it. Especially right now. The second chorus... can you get any more pure than that! So much said with so little. 

Time of day I can't recall
The kind of thing that takes it's toll
Over years and over time
Over smiles and over wine
All in all it wasn't bad
All in all it wasn't good
But I still care
That's the problem with the days
They're never long enough to say
What it is you never said
All the books you never read
I throw myself into the wind
Hoping somebody will pick me up
And carry me again

Where are you now
Do you let me down
Do you make me grieve for you
Do I make you proud
Do you get me now
Am I your pride and joy

I believe this to be true
There's nothing sacred, nothing new
No one tells you when its time
There are no warnings, only signs
And you know that you're alone
You're not a child anymore
But you're still scared
All your mountains turn to rocks
All your oceans turn to drops
They are nothing like you thought
Can't be something you are not
Life is not a looking glass
Don't get tangled in your past
Like I am learning not to

Where are you now
Do you let me down
Do you make me grieve for you
Do I make you proud
Do you get me now
Am I your pride, joy

Whatya Want From Me

This video reminds me of someone right now, and for some reason I feel compelled to put this on my blog. So, here you go. Whatya Want From Me - Adam Lambert

Gloriana, Welcome to the New Country Music Group!

Wild At Heart - Gloriana

How I Feel

Looks like I made a mess again
Heartbreak everywhere I step
This fire is getting hot again
But I touch the flame 'cause I'm a curious cat
Creeping where I don't belong
Finding out what I knew all along
Crying all alone
And it's all my fault, all my fault

Yeah, I did it again...again

Oh, I'm getting tired of believing
Even sicker of pretending
That it's not so bad, just wait it out
Oh, I think you're feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn't him
And that's how I feel right now so just let me be
Let me be

It seems every time I find a good man
He's got a good little wife
I'm not jealous but I won't lie
I don't want to hear about your wonderful life
And babies everywhere I look
Trophy wives with their little black books
At this rate I'm gonna end up alone
It's probably all my fault, all my fault

Oh, another dead end...again

Oh, I'm getting tired of believing
Even sicker of pretending
That it's not so bad, just wait it out
Oh, I think you're feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn't him
And that's how I feel right now 

Bitter pill that I've swallowed
Just how low can my heart sink
Fairy tales from so long ago
Save them for someone that's not smart enough to know

'Cause I, I'm getting tired of believing
I'm through pretending
Yeah I'm broken and sad so I'll sit this one out
Oh I think you're feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn't him
And that's how I feel right now

How I feel right now
How I feel right now
How I feel right now
Let me be
How I feel right now
How I feel right now
How I feel right now
Let me be.
