Daughtry - "Waiting For Superman"

11/29/2013

0 Comments

 
I always get excited for new music from Daughtry. He was always a favorite on the little bits of "American Idol" I caught, and consistently puts out music I love to blast loud. His voice is different and still really beautiful.

Anywhos, this song's been a good one. And it's good for today, because someday the right superman will come about.



She says...Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day"
She says...If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this
Left without a kiss
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah

She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms

Kelly Clarkson - "Thankful"

11/28/2013

0 Comments

 
I'm thankful for my family, who drive me up a wall sometimes but do it with more love than I've ever witnessed in this insane world (not to mention provide the best stories ever). I'm thankful for and proud of my friends from all over the country and in every corner of the world who seem to be there every crazy moment I need them and all of the seconds in between. Even sitting in a kitchen while they play games and I slave over the oven is still, somehow, a delight. I'm thankful for great roommates, planning weddings, and the most random of happy hours, because they're all that - happy. I'm thankful for my new job and the world of music that fulfills my professional life. I'm thankful for my pups and their sweet snuggling. I'm thankful for blankets to sleep under and windows to see out of.

While there are still some holes to fill in and hardships to deal with, this life is beautiful and I give thanks for it every day.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all.


That I'm thankful
For the blessing
And the lessons that I've learned with you
By my side

That I'm thankful
For the love that you keep bringing in my life
In my life
Thankful, so thankful

Cher - "Believe"

11/21/2013

0 Comments

 
Throwback Thursday! This was the #1 hit in 1999 apparently. Do you remember hearing Cher make a comeback? And the feathers in her hair?



What am I supposed to do 
Sit around and wait for you 
And I can't do that 
There's no turning back 
I need time to move on 
I need love to feel strong 
'Cause I've had time to think it through 

And maybe I'm too good for you Ohh Oh 

Do you believe in life after love?

Hanson - "Crazy Beautiful"

11/20/2013

0 Comments

 
I say this every time, but Hanson is by far the best band to see live, ever. Yesterday night I saw them for the... 8th time? I've sort of lost count. But they just get better and better. This time around (points if you get that reference) they even did stuff off of "Snowed In." And "With You In Your Dreams" got me completely. The entire show was out of this world. Thanks Hanson. 



Listen, all I need is you 
Won't you tell me what to do 
'Cause you drive me crazy 
Baby, is it pulling on you heart 
Is it tearing you apart 

'Cause you drive me crazy 
'Cause you're crazy beautiful

Keith Urban & Miranda Lambert - "We Were Us"

11/16/2013

0 Comments

 
What do you do when you're driving around Nashville and two familiar voices are in the same song? You Shazam, figure out it's your two favorite country singers, and FLIP OUT. 

That's what happened when I discovered this song a couple of months ago. So good, such a great pairing of voices, and just a great time.

It's actually a little bit of a heartbreaker when you hear the actual words, but hell, it's still great.

In a sleepy town, just jumping in
Far too young to know that summers end
We were us, we can't go back
It's what it is, but God I miss

Back when that song was a song
I could sing along without thinkin bout you every time it came on
Every beat, every line, every word, every time
When a road was a road
I could roll on through without wishin that empty seat was you
Money was gas, dreams were dust
Love was fast and we were us

Saves the Day - "Nightingale"

11/13/2013

Ever have a song that just makes you smile? Even if it's just from a bitty memory from way back when? This is one for me. Ah, high school.
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.
I'll have to walk a thousand miles just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
You could throw me down and walk on me 
and I'd just look on through my love and through the haze.

"The Last Real Record Store On Earth" from "High Fidelity"

11/11/2013

Is anyone else seeing these way-too-formal-of-font titles on my pages? Or is it just Chrome being a jerk? Sigh.

Anywhos! Thanks to our Musical Theatre editor, Jonathan, we have today's song from "High Fidelity." His reasoning? Well he was oh so kind as to dedicate it to my new job in music licensing. =)



I get by, relying on the 
Freaks who can't survive
Without their Japanese import o
Or their Zappa 45.
They're really kinda sad
Hell, I'd be making fun of them,
If it weren't for the fact
I'm really one of them.

Parachute - "Kiss Me Slowly"

11/6/2013

0 Comments

 
I can't place Parachute on a normal basis. I've never sat through a whole album or chased down tickets for a show. But maybe I should because every single time I hear a song of theirs, I fall more and more in love with the sound.

Also, Lady A co-wrote on this. GASP. =D



Oh, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.

Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

Miranda Lambert - "All Kinds of Kinds"

11/5/2013

Gotta love some Miranda!

Why do I love this though? Well, it's funny (clearly that hubbie Blake Shelton has been rubbing off on her humor even more), but it's true when it all comes down to it. Well played!



Ever since the beginning
To keep the world spinning
It takes all kinds of kinds
