Please God, Tell Me That I'm Still Asleep
I havent sang in awhile. I mean really sing. For fun; for the pure hell of it.
I normally sing in the car, but thats been a rarity as of late. I guess that really doesnt matter. It pretty much tortures anyone else that happens to be in the car.
So when I saw that the Barenaked Ladies had this accoustic series of videos, I liked that they had to rely on their singing. Especially since they were doing this in the bathroom.
Ignore the flushing sounds and sing along with me.

I found this poem by accident and it sort of fit. I cant say how exactly, but it seemed to strike a chord with me. So on that note...
The Music by Kathryn Thompson
I hear the music
The music is playing
The music is soft
The music is now fading
The music is gone
Which means so is my life
No music means no life
The music is gone
Come back to me music
The music is beginning
I have a life
The music is pretty
The music is wonderful
Oh no
The music is fading again
I love the music
The music is gone
Good bye Music

Pride (In The Name Of Love) by U2
One man come in the name of love.
One man come and go.
One man come,
He to justify.
One man to overthrow.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love...
One man caught on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist,
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love...
Nobody like you...
Early morning.
April 4.
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last.
They took your life,
They could not take your pride.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...

Maybe I didn't really know you. Maybe you were just a mirage. Maybe the world is full of food and sex and spectacle and we're all just hurling towards an apocalypse. In which case it's not your fault. I've been thinking about all these things and... You're probably standing there monitoring. And one more thing: about the letter. Nuke it. Flame it. Destroy it. It hurts me to know it's out there. Later.

A lifetime ago I sang this song in a karoke bar. I've always loved the movie and tend to use it here in the blog alot. So when I saw this vid I had to show it. Fairly well done, but the ending could have been a little better. Still, an excellent job done.

I Feel The Dream In Me Expire
Inspiration comes to artists at the strangest times. Why should we average folk be any different?
I always remembered how this video struck a chord with me. Bob Dylan and INXS did videos that used the wordplay and signs, but they didnt impact me as much as this did.
Fine Again by Seether
It was probably the song combined with the video that sticks with me. Who am I to argue? I know nothing.

Given Up by Linkin Park
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of living
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of living
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
God!
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery
I've given up
I'm sick of living
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me

I Can See It In Your Eyes by Men At Work
By your leave
I think that I'll be going now.
I think I've stayed a little long.
I looked up all my mother's recipes.
I can't think what I did wrong.
We go to a restaurant,
But you don't like wine
You say it's love you want,
But there is no time.
I realize,
I can see it in your eyes.
You keep staring at the floor.
I used to look at your school photographs,
But I don't have them anymore.
I wonder who's in my old college rooms
Or stuck on my old locker door.
I dream of the ships at sea,
On a stormy night
I wish that it was me,
But I wake in fright.
I realize,
I can see it in your eyes.
I've only got myself to blame.
Winter kisses when your lips were blue,
Like chasing wild geese in the snow.
Pressing faces
On the window panes,
But that's a long long time ago.
We go to a restaurant.
You say its love you want.
I realize,
I can see it in your eyes.
You're moving on to something more.

The Endless Fields
I had a real hard time with this entry. Part of it is because of the sensative subject, but also because its about someone I only know by a name. I only knew Ashley as a fellow blogger and a mother. Matter of fact, she and her husband had their second child just last month.
So when I was shown this article about her death, I was at a loss of words. Other than giving your sympathy to the family and friends, what else can you say?
You remember the things that made them special. In this case, Ashley would joke about her little sproglets as well as trade barbs with the UF fans since she was a LSU fan. Last night, she was simply estatic as her precious Tigers won the national championship.
And today she's simply gone. Just a void that was just filled yesterday.
I'm not sure there is more that can be said so I toiled to find something that a better wordsmith could say.
From the Declaration Of The Free by Robert G. Ingersoll
Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day?
Is death a door that leads to light?
We cannot say.
God speed, AshPeaMama.

Game On
I had got into the Yoshida Brothers music inadvertantly when I first heard them on the Majic Monkey song Change. I even posted the video the other day. And every time I heard it, I kept thinking how their string instruments sounded so damn familiar.
Then it hit me. They are the ones playing the music on the Nintendo Wii commericals.
Sure enough, the main theme is a remix of one of their songs, Kodo (Inside The Sun remix). The downside is that Nintendo shortened the song by 2 minutes so to fit on their first commercial.
There really isnt a good video available for the full version right now. The original song is available, but is missing the dance beat that the remix gives.

Tossed Like A Stone
I've tried to listen to more Lacuna Coil after their cover of Enjoy The Silence. Here is a very haunting song along with a very fitting fan based video. I'm liking the lyrics more and more.
And now the beat inside me
Is a sort of a cold breeze
And I've never had any feeling inside
Ruining me
Bring my body
Carry it into another world
I know I live
But like a stone
I'm falling down
