"Time Stood Still" from "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown"

9/30/2013

Funk is the last thing I expected to hear from this show. Granted, I'd never heard anything from this show every before, but somehow a 60's groove just wasn't expected. So thanks for a fun surprise on this gorgeous Musical Monday, Jonathan!

The Veronicas - "Everything I'm Not"

9/29/2013

0 Comments

 
One of my best friends put it best once by saying "The Veronicas are one of those bands that I love to re-discover." It's so true. These girls are incredible rockers, really taking a no-holds-barred approach to their music. They incorporate elements of electronica into their very hard-hitting tunes, never giving over to typical pop sounds. I can, as a rarity, sit and listen to every track, front to back, on their albums without skipping. I hope you enjoy this little sampling as much as I do!


I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not

Uncle Kracker - "Smile"

9/28/2013

0 Comments

 
This song does, quite literally, make me smile. It's downright adorable, and really was completely unexpected from the guy who used to be Kid Rock's right hand man. It's sweet and steady and just a great listen out in the sun.
You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record,
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Throwback Thursday - a great one from high school. Enjoy!



Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know) 
you've had your chance and folded 
Don't hold your breath 
because you'll only make things worse

Switchfoot - "This Is Home"

9/24/2013

0 Comments

 
So, a few things today.

I wrote this on a wall in my friend Sam's childhood home. His mom was building a bookcase over the wall, and we all wrote something on it, since it's where we hung out most weekends.

Today, I'm writing this from the Curb Cafe at Belmont University. I went to college here for three years, and am visiting today after a beautiful weekend of wedding happenings for my little. I'm desperate to be back here full time, but the job situation seems to keep working against me. But really, when I think about it... especially compared to New York... this is home.
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide it's not over yet
We are miracles and we're not alone

And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I've got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I'm gonna call it home

Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back
Yeah, this is home

Relient K - "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"

9/23/2013

So this is an old one. The acoustic version comes on my Pandora allllll ttthhhhheeeee tttiimmmeeeeee!! It's always been a general background favorite though. That opportunity to make a new start for yourself is always going to be right and encouraging at one time or another, and this song accentuates that so well.



Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

Queen - "Somebody To Love"

9/14/2013

This just has always and will always be an awesome song. Queen really has done some amazing things with their music. The incorporation of opera alone has always just been astounding and appreciated. I feel like the world goes in waves of loving them out loud, and while we may not really be on one right now, their influence and talent cannot be undersold, ever.



I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

Puddle of Mudd - "She Hates Me"

9/13/2013

0 Comments

 
This is an awesome song to rock out to, and probably border-line guilty pleasure. You've got to jump on the bed and head band when it comes on. You've got to scream it out. It was underplayed on the radio as a single, mostly because it looses a lot when you have to blur out the cursing. But damn, is it fun.
In a trap, trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She fucking hates me
trust
she fucking hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away

Orianthi - "According To You"

9/10/2013

0 Comments

 
All right, awesome song alert. Orianthi actually had a really fantastic album altogether, but admittedly this song was the biggest hit of them all. The video was a little weird, what with the guitar-hero-like point of view. But it's still a song that empowers girls to be happy and stick it to their exes.

When a girl constantly hears what's wrong with her, she starts to wonder if anything is right. This is a song about finding an appreciative relationship that you never really knew you could have before.
According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult,
hard to please,
forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress,
can't show up on time,
even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

"Who's Crazy/My Psychopharmacologist and I" from "Next to Normal"

9/9/2013

This is brilliantly composed. It's methodical, for sure, with a story strewn throughout. I've never seen the show itself, but I believe this has got to be a really wonderful and confusing and pivotal moment in the show and the development or at least explanation of this character. Yes, I know, another one I desperately need to see.
They say love is blind, 
But believe me— 
Love is insane. 

Doctor Fine: [Spoken] 
Goodman, Diana. Seven weeks. 

Diana: [Spoken] 
I don't feel like myself. I mean, I don't feel anything. 

Doctor Fine: [Spoken] 
Hmpf. Patient stable.
