Same Mistake (James Blunt)

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake,
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.

DIVE IN (DMB)


I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read 'will work for food'.
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green...

I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water...
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear...

Wake up, sleepy head.
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

Tell me everything will be OK if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
believing in something...
Tell me everything is all taken care of by those qualified to take care of it all.

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising...
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on it's way to getting better?
and if so can you tell me...
how?

I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though we would like to beleive we are
we are not in control
though we would love to believe

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.


pretty powerful song, off their new album....which is kickass-so expect to see more lyrics from this album, because frankly:  im OBSESSED....my personal opinion:  it's the best since UTTAD :)

A Wish for Something More (Amy Macdonald)


A Wish For Something More - Amy Macdonald

Oh the sun is shining far too bright
For it to still be night
Oh the air feels so cold
So cold and old
How can it be light
Oh let's take a walk outside
See the world through each other's eyes
I wish I was your only one
I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied, but that's what I love best

And I, I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairytale romances every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more

Oh the grass is so green
But I can't see anything, past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile
Your cherry lips make life worthwhile
I'm thinking these things
What I'm trying to say is
Life gets in my way
Every single day

And I, I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairytale romances every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more

Now the sun is fading and the rain is coming down
And I'm looking at your face but your looking at the ground
I see diamonds in your dreams I see pearls around your neck
I see everything that's beautiful, everything that's beautiful

I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairytale romances every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more


Huge fan of this lovely lady!

PokerFace (Lady Gaga)

I'll post the song at a later time...I'm obsessed!

She's Leaving Home (The Beatles)

Argueably (sp check? ha) their greatest song ever....and my current obsession...hmm?

enjoy!






Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free
She (we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
(bye bye)

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
(bye bye)
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
She (what did we do that was wrong)
is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
(bye bye)
She's leaving home
(bye bye)

Well Worth The Wait!!

I do appologize, I am a day behind in posting this...you can't blame me, I've been moving and hav yet to hook up the internet in the new apartment. In the mean time, the most beautiful song to have graced my ears (recently, anyways) was released yesterday...DMBs new single


FUNNY THE WAY IT IS




And the lyrics are equally as beautiful...I CANNOT imagine how amazing the rest of the album will be...CANT WAIT ! :)

Lyin’ in the parkOn a beautiful daySun shine on the grassAnd the children playSiren’s passin’Fire engine’s redSomeone’s house is burning downOn a day like thisThe evening comes and we’re hangin’ outOn the front stepAnd a car goes by with the windows rolled downAnd that war song is playin “why can’t we be friends?”Someone is screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairsFunny the way it isAnd if you think about itSomebody’s is goin’ hungryAnd someone else is eatin’ nowFunny the way it isNot right or wrongSomebody’s heart is brokenAnd it becomes your favorite songThe way your mouth feels in a lover’s kissLike a pretty bird on the breezeOr water on a fishBut a bomb blast brings the building crashin’ to the floorHear the laughter while the children play warFunny the way it isAnd if you think a bout itOne kid walks 10 miles to schoolAnother’s droppin’ outFunny the way it isNot right or wrongOn a soldier’s last breathHis baby’s being bornStandin’ on the bridgeWatch the water passin’ under meIt must have been much harderWhen there was no bridge just waterNow the world is smallRemember how it used to beWith mountains, and oceans, and winters, and river’s and starsWatch the sky in a jet planeSo far out of my reachIs there someone up there lookin’ down on me?Boy chase a birdSo close but every timeHe never catch herBut he can’t stop tryingFunny the way it isAnd if you think about itOne kid walks 10 miles to schoolAnother’s droppin’ outFunny the way it isNot right or wrongOn a soldier’s last breathHis baby’s being bornFunny the way it isNot right or wrongSomebody’s broken heartBecomes your favorite songFunny the way it isAnd if you think a bout itOne kid walks 10 miles to schoolAnother’s droppin’ outStandin’ on the bridgeWatch the water passin’ under meIt must have been much harderWhen there was no bridge just waterNow the world is smallRemember how it used to beWith mountains, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and star

I Want You (KOL)


This song has a very sexy beat that makes me want to roll down my window on a nice warm summer day, crank it up, and take long drags of
a cigarette. His voice is SO sexy! Ow. Ow.

I'll Back You Up (DMB

I remember thinking 
I'll go on forever only knowing 
I'll see you again 
But I know 
The touch of you is so hard to remember 
But like that touch I know no other 
And for sure we have danced 
In the risk of each other 
Would like to dance 
Around the world with me 

I'll be falling all about my own thing 
And I know you're the heaviest weight 
When you're not here that's hung 
Around my head 

And your lips burn wild 
Thrown from the face of a child 
And in your eyes 
The seeing of the greatest view 
Do what you will, always 
Walk where you like, your steps 
Do as you please, I'll back you up 

I remember thinking 
Sometimes we walk 
Sometimes we run away 
But I know 
No matter how fast we are running 
Somehow we keep 
Somehow we keep up with each other 

I'll be falling all about my own thing 
And i know you're the heaviest weight 
When you're not here that's hung 
Around my head 

And your lips burn wild 
Thrown from the face of a child 
And in your eyes 
The seeing of the greatest view 
Do what you will, always 
Walk where you like, your steps 
Do as you please, I'll back you up

hehe, i adore this song on many levels :)

Chose What You're Watching (thenewno2)


I'm telling you...you've got to check out thenewno2

or that Dhani is his son and is half the band
or that I'm extremely jealous Dhani has such a kick ass name

you should check them out because it's good music.

appreciate! :)

June come faster!


Two Words: FUCKING STELLAR! Holy shit!

According to the new Rolling Stone:

"Even people who don't like Dave Matthews Band are going to like this record
-and if they don't, then they just don't like music." - Dave Matthews

Oh my god. Then I Twitter WDS, and discover Tim Reynolds (guitar god, for real)
has been pictured playing the SITAR on the new album. WHAT!? This is just too
good to be true, but I found evidence!!! Side Note: Tim did play it in studio, but
it is not verified that it will be on the final project (as much as I know).



tim reynolds with sitar and dmb at new orleans studio

I do believe, after hearing this album...I will die a happy person.

A VERY happy person.

Getting excited for Festiesss


Rothbury...whats better than doing yoga, in nature, with michael franti singing to you? (My new musical obsession) Ok, one thing might make it better...
Maybe if John Butler was your mat :)

The Inner Light

Strange that I was meditating to this new style which is called the inner sound/sight.  I like it a lot.  It's taking me to another level than my simple breathing texts.  Much needed in my life.  Anyways, I was doing this and listening to the beatles in my iTunes (i realize...multitasking while meditating is not always smart.  But i was feeling it...anyways.  The Inner Light came on, and I was getting lost in the lyrics like I always do and then hit a realization (not the great light, but you know, that smack in the face 'whoa' moment) that I was doing what the George was singing about.  Seeing the world without opening my door.  Amazing...I've posted the youtube video of the song so if you have not heard it, you should.  It is beautiful, and so is this little slideshow of pure George Harrison through the decades.

Pickapart (JBT)

So there aint no need to pickapart me
Cause what you get aint what you see
I said a little fucked up, a little crazy
But there aint no need to pickapart me

Going down the road nobody gonna get in my way
Nothing gonna stop old me from finding myself a new day
And as long as I don't hurt no one, I don't be hurting no one I still say
Nothing gonna stop old me from finding myself a new day
I said and nothing going to stop me or you
Hell no...

So there aint no need to pickapart me
Cause what you get aint what you see
I said a little fucked up, a little crazy
But there aint no need to pickapart me

I got four hail marys flying over my head
Trying to make me sad everyday
Gonna shot those little motherfuckers down
With my positive artillery
Cause it doesn't really matter who you listen to or who
Ya gonna believe
I said nothing really stopping me or anybody else
From going and being free
Nothing gonna stop you
Or me hell no
No nothing gonna stop me or you. Hell no

Dancing Nancies (DMB)

Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in bel air
Could I have been
Lost somewhere in paris
Could I have been
Your little brother
Could I have been anyone other than me
Could I have been oh, anyone other than me
Could I have been anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money
Could I have been anyone other than me
Twenty three
Im so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other then me? 
Then i
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, like and taste
Whats the use in worrying, whats the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am i
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me? 
And then ill
Sing and dance and Ill play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But Ill work it out
And then i
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been dancing nancy
Dancing nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?

To the point.  dramatic.  standstill.  it's got me dizzy and wishing for dancing nancies.  soak it up.  devour it.  groove with the sound of your own music.  live it.  peace out!

Hammer and Strings (Jack's)

I need something to believe in
A breath from the breathing
So write it down,
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming
So what's the point in sleeping?
It's just that at night,
I've got nowhere to hide

You wanna feel good?

Check out Live at Radio City DVD...its Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds amazing acoustic set.  They have such great chemistry on stage together.  Truly incredible.  I happened upon Lie In Our Graves (in my opinion is always best acoustic) today.  It always puts me in a great mood, and this version is just undeniable.  Listen to it all if you've got 8 minutes to spare :)

Love Always Remains (MGMT)

There's a place I'd like to go somewhere out west, 
It's not specific, and the pictures show it best.
I know there's trees I know there's sand and I know there's grass, 
I know it's somewhere in the past.
There's a girl out there who's lookin for it too, 
She's not sure when she'll go or exactly what she'll do.
If I am doomed am I the first on or the last?
Am I just someone from the past?

No one has to hear, the sound of people laughing at their fear, and the ocean and sun are always there, to make you happy if you're feeling scared of the darkness.

If I ever saw a ghost it'd change the way I think.
I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink.
I wouldn't struggle, I'd just let it all out fast, 
And then start living in the past.

If we hold the hand that rapes the hand, 
And everyone can feel the hand, 
And nothing's gonna change, 
It could be the time we're living in, 
We'll never feel so safe again, 
But love always remains

 Love It

Orphans (Jack's Mannequin)

I am looking for a sign
My spirit's faded
She holds on like a vine
Patterns in traffic
They sound just like my heart
Race in the dark
In time to catch you.
No one should let you
Go wandering off into the night
You're not an orphan.

I keep waiting for my breath
To come back never
So take what I have left
Patterns in traffic
That pulls just like my heart
Race in the dark
In time to catch you
No one should let you
Go wandering off into the night
You're not an orphan.
Right there to catch you
I won't forget you.
Now you're wandering to the night
But you're no orphan
You're not an orphan

I never thought the day would come
(you're not an orphan)
They tell me that you've finally run
(you're not an orphan)
I guess you always said you would someday
(you're not an orphan)

I never thought the day would come
(you're not an orphan)
They tell me that you've finally run
(you're not an orphan)
I guess you always said you would someday
(you're not an orphan)

It's more Jack's...I just cannot stop..

Under My Skin (Rachael Yamagata)

I hesitate to say I was bait for you
Could that be something that you all would do?
I'd be lying if I did now say I wasn't intrigued
But timing is everything here
And for the moment the "we" is reprieved
But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes
I discover
That I like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

I'm in the dance, and it's a chance
But stay and watch awhile
I'll be singing a tune just for you with a smile
And maybe, if I'm lucky
You'll tip your hat to me, and you'll discover
That you like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

Crazy as it all plays out
I think I'm lonelier than I've ever been before
'Cause I was so close
To going through that door
But I don't want to be to blame for them
I don't want to be to blame

Oh, would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

Oh, would you please get out
Deep, deep inside, I'm not as strong as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go, go, go, go, go

I'm sure you have all heard her most popular song, Be Be Your Love and Reason Why, but her other songs are just as good.  If not better, in my opinion.  I encourage you to check her out. :)

Kings of Leon

Okay, I've been aware of Kings of Leon.  I've seen them posted to many of my friends myspace pages, and I just assumed they were some shitty band everyone else liked because everyone else liked them.  I was clearly wrong.  Lauren sent me a text that went something like this: "I want you" by Kings of Leon :)"  We have similar tastes in music, so of course I had to check it out.  They freaking rock.  I've listened to three of their albums, and I'm extremely impressed.  Music is fantastic, vibe is kickin, lyrics are great, and his voice is SO SEXY! Their newest album, Only by the Night, is my personal favorite.  I've been debating which song to post lyrics too, because I'm mad obsessed with half of them.  I've decided to post Use Somebody, because it feels good currently.  Note:  Dreaming of Revelry, I Want You, and Sex on Fire were all very close to being posted as well.  If you haven't heard of this band yet I encourage you to check them out.  They're killer.  

I've been roaming around 
Always looking down at all I see 
Painted faces, fill the places I cant reach 

You know that I could use somebody 
You know that I could use somebody 

Someone like you, And all you know, And how you speak 
Countless lovers under cover of the street 

You know that I could use somebody 
You know that I could use somebody 
Someone like you 

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep 
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat 
I hope it's gonna make you notice 
I hope it's gonna make you notice 

Someone like me 
Someone like me 
Someone like me, somebody 

Someone like you, somebody 
Someone like you, somebody 
Someone like you, somebody 

I've been roaming around, 
Always looking down at all I see

Clean Breaks (Dashboard Confessional)

I believe in clean breaks, I keep the old troubles away

But you're making sure
I was lying when I said

"I can leave,
This behind"

I need you to ruin me
For this, finally,
'Cause it's burying me

Now, I'm in these old knots
Each move keeps me locked away

With each new embrace,
I have tied myself up.

More tightly,
Into you

Oh, but the more I fight
Then the deeper I'm trapped
And I can't break free of this hold that you have

And I crave you more
Under the heat of your touch
And I need your skin

To ruin me
For this wicked town
Where your ghosts are bound
To me

One last sacrifice
Of this ritual escape

I was lying when I said...
"I believe,
in clean breaks"

Thanks to Angie, who let me know about Dashboard's new cd.  I haven't been into Dashboard since my freshman year at Ball State, but I recently revisited their music when I was organizing my iTunes.  Their new Cd, The Shade of Poison Trees, has such beautiful musical composition.  I couldn't bring myself to stop listening after the first song.  It is difficult to not fall in love with their music, because Chris Carrabba writes lyrics that are so intimate.  It's just so beautiful.

What You Are (Dave Matthews Band)

I walk into this room
Oh, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside
They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize, realize what you are...

What youve become,
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
Huddled here, you,
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Dont you know if you live life
Then you become what you are

The seasons sparing
Were all drifting away
Away from you
I pray for you now

Hoping to God on high
Is like clinging to straws
While drowning, oh
Realize, realize what you are...

What youve become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
Huddled here, you,
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Dont you know
When you live life
Then you become what you are

What you are
Is the beast in a lovers arms
What you are
Is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss
What you are
Is missing a piece
What you are
Is a puzzle to me

What youve become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
I dont hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
What the world gives to you
Dont you know
When you give life
Then you become what you are?

Dont trust me
Trust you...
Up to you...
Trust you...


I think too many people fear if they dance they might die...live life, take chances...what else are you waiting for?

When you were young (The Killers)

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

I rock the shiz out of this song in Rock Band :)

Miss Delaney (Jack's Mannequin)

Finally, I'm letting go
Of all my downer thoughts
In no time there'll be
One less sad robot
Looking for a chance to be
Something more than just metal
Now I'm going part time
With a film projectionist
And she's the vinyl queen
From my surfer dream
She likes the beach boys
More than radio metal
And she's so good
But, she's no good for me

Oh, Miss Delaney
What's the matter?
You waited by the window
(You waited by the window)
I waited by the door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven, so
Why treat him like he's dead

It's not that everyday
Everyday is coming up
With the green grass
But the times pass, when
I think of you
Whenever I'm at dinner

Finally
I've found someone to dull this lonely scene
I don't spend my nights searching for earthquakes (oh)
It's biblical how fucked my sleep can be
But she won't sleep with me

Oh, Miss Delaney
What's the matter?
You waited by the window
I waited by the door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven, so
Why treat him like he's dead
Like he's dead, like he's dead

From here you can find everything
Arin, I
Would never lie to you

Oh, Miss Delaney (Miss Delaney)
Whatcha sad for?
You waited by the window
And I was kicking down your door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
(Where's your boyfriend)
He isn't up in heaven, so
Why treat him like he's dead

Oh, Miss Delaney
