Song of the day- Cuckoo
So my last 10 weeks of grad school starts tomorrow. And alas I've been in fun loving summer mode for so long, the harsh reality has not hit me yet that it is over. I more feel like I'm real young again starting back to school in the fall and more excited about seeing my classmates and people I've come to know and love like family who've gotten me through this often painful, often bumpy and sometimes pretty fantastic and sometimes horrifying ride that I was picturing having to be on by myself. But luckily I found some hands to hold that I'm gonna hold on pretty tightly to the next ten weeks. For all the hands you're holding, this one's for you, cuckoo!
I walked alone
I never tried to stay in line
I didn’t know what I was doing half the time
I didn’t know that my life could ever change
I didn’t think that anybody’d feel the same way
And then you came
I said I wanna try it all without regret
I wanna meet the kind of folks I never met
Skipping school and smoking cigarettes
We hadn’t even really gotten started yet
Cuckoo
Let’s go driving
Cuckoo
Cause there’s nowhere to go
Cuckoo
We’re in hiding
There telling our story on the radio
I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you’re with us
You don’t have to be quiet no more
People said we’d have to make it on our own
We never thought there’d be another hand to hold
We didn’t care, we never did what we were told
They couldn’t break us
They could never turn us col
You and me well we were never growing old
I see you now
We talk about
The way it used to be
When we were brave
We misbehaved
Yeah you know what I mean
And you know why
Our battle cry always comes back to me
Cuckoo…
Yeah…

And i fall on my knees Tell me how's the way to be
Artist- Lissie
Song of the day- Everywhere I go
I've had one of those musical days where I've spent hours looking for a song and just can't find what i'm looking for. Mostly because I've been listening to the same four albums over and over and would love to introduce you to new music and new artists instead of repeating myself over and over. But now my sleeping pill has kicked in and I'm saying screw it, I like what I like today and really that's what this blog is all about. thanks to Spotify (if you don't have spotify or don't know what it is Google it immediately cuz it will changer your music listening life) I have been consuming large quantities of artists I love but am too poor at the moment to buy all the music my little heart desires. One has been today's artist and song. I was fairly ambivalent to the song at first but hearing it live and more of her story and sweet spirit, I couldn't get enough of it and most of her album. The video also makes me want to go on a solo adventure with a wild elephant...or watch "water for elephants again". But this song is how I seem to go back to feeling constantly throughout my life. I often walk through life only to realize, wait, what the hell am I doing? what should I be doing? is this who I'm supposed to be? who am i supposed to be? Perhaps you can relate. I seem to have to constantly fall on my knees and be like ok god, who am i again? cuz there's something about this world that makes it so easy to forget to somehow get lost in everything you don't remember if you are who you are or just pretending to be someone so people will like you more, so you'll like you more, cuz it's the social norm or cuz it's cool an alternative. whatever it may be whatever fog lines your path or lies line your heart, the cure (at least usually for me) is in taking a step back, falling on your knees and letting angels lead you back to your home. If you feel the same or wanna watch "water for elephants", this one's for you.
And i fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to be
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me all that i should know
And i fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me how's the way to be
To evoke some empathy
Danger will follow me now
Everywhere i go
Angels will call on me
And take me to my home
Well this tired mind
Just wants to be lead home
And i fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me how's the way to see
Show me all that i could be
And i fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to be yeah
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me why i feel so low
Angels will follow me now
Everywhere i go
Angels will call on me
And take me to my home
Well these tired eyes
Just want to remain closed
I don't see clearly can't feel nothing no
Can't you hear me?
And i fall on my knees
And angels will call on me
Now everywhere i go
Angels will call on me
And take me to my home
And angel will fall on me
Everywhere i walk
Angels will call on me
And take me to my home
And angels will call on me
Now everywhere i go
Angels will follow me
Now lead me to my home

But it's almost always never you Never you
Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- Lissie
Song of the day- When I'm alone
There are some artists that are just better live. And even though I have yet to experience Lissie up close, it is obvious even in live videos like today's that she can blow any audio mixes out of the water with her live vocals. Just add her to the list of people I've been dying to see and also artists I desperately wish I was. She defines the term raw talent. Everything about her music is rough, hard, a proper soundtrack to any smokey whole in the wall bar, can probably kick your ass and goes down like melted butter. Now that's what rock n roll should be according to me.
I turned my back
You were gone in a flash
Like you always do
You've always gone off somewhere else
And when the phone rang
And I thought it was you
And I sprung like a kid who's just got out of school
But it's almost always never you
Never you
I screamed like a child
My insides went wild
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
And when I reach out and I only grab air
And it kills me to think that you never did care
And it's hopeless
You've always run off somewhere else
I'm throwing a tantrum
Why are you such a phantom?
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
Reminds me of home
When you're around me
Next time you leave, don't go without me
No oh no
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one

Ra Ra-ah-ah-ah Roma Roma-ma GaGa Oh la-la
Artist- Lissie
Song of the day- Bad Romance
Since I'm on a cover song role this week (and will now not be able to think of any more good ones having said this) here's one I sang throughout class today. Lady Gaga makes for great sing alongs in case you were wondering, and Lissie adds a bit of the hard rock edge that makes the hipster in me happy. So whether you're a pop diva, tight pants and cardigan wearing indie rocker, country fool, or all of the above, get this group clapping chorus down and sing it with me...from the top!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Ra Ra-ah-ah-ah
Roma Roma-ma
GaGa
Oh la-la
Want your bad romance
I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love
I want you drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love
You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad
A bad romance
I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Ra ra-ah-ah-ah
Roma roma-ma
GaGa
Oh la-la
Want your bad romance
I want your horror
I want your design
‘Cuz you’re a criminal
As long as you’re mine
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love
I want your psycho
Your vertigo shtick
Want you in my rear window
Baby you’re sick
I want your love
Love love love
I want your love
You know that I want you (’Cuz I’m a freak bitch baby)
And you know that I need you
I want it bad romance
Your bad romance
I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Ra ra-ah-ah-ah
Roma roma-ma
GaGa
Oh la-la
Want your bad romance
Walk walk fashion baby work it
Move that bitch c-razy
Walk walk fashion baby work it
Move that bitch c-razy
Walk walk passion baby work it
I’m a free bitch baby
I want your love
And I want your revenge
I want your love
I don’t wanna be friends
Je veux ton amour
Et je veux ta revenge
Je veux ton amour
I don’t wanna be friends
(Want your bad romance
I want your bad romance)
Want your bad romance!
I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love and
All your lover’s revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
