Chairlift - Bruises

Artist: Chairlift

Song: Bruises

Album: Does You Inspire You

Year: 2008

"I tried to do handstands for you but every time I fell for you, I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you..."

"Got bruises on my knees for you and grass stains on my knees for you, got holes in my new jeans for you, got pink and black and blue for you..."

*A COMMENT: How did get in touch with this song? I was in this class where a guy is "teaching" miles away from the classroom and where a bunch of students, each on a different campus, are "learning" miles away from the guy who's teaching... Anyway, there was this project where we were supposed to produce a video that showed different aspects of logistics and in one video, from some guys at another campus, featured this song as a background, a friend and me liked the song, but as I said, it was used as background so we could not figure out what the lyrics were, in order to look for it... So I decided to leave it alone, rare feature in me when it comes to find a song a like, but to my surprise, later that day my friend told me she had logged in to the 'Logistics' course slot on the university web page and that she was able to find the aforementioned video and a note which mentioned the name of the band and the name of the song... About the song meaning I think it's pretty straightforward, falling for someone over and over again, even though you know you're going to get hurt... Unrequited love all over... HAVE A GOOD START TO THE WEEK...

"It was already beginning to show curses from years ago, and the ocean is already parted, will you take a walk, walk with me now til we get to December? "

"Something I was never meant to find an answer, an answer, something I was never meant to find an answer, an answer..."

*A BRIEF ONE: This applies when you've heard something you wish you hadn't... In this particular case I had an idea of somebody's intentions, I intuited it, but when I heard something related to that topic from one of the main actors, I froze a bit and now I'm uneasy... My December plans now seem, well I don't know how they seem, but I guess I have to think a lot and come up with the best plan and a decision...

Manchester Orchestra - Leave It Alone

Artist: Manchester Orchestra

Song: Simple Math

Album: Simple Math

Year: 2011

"So take me alone, 'cause if it's not with you, I've got no place to go..."

"When I was a fire I turned into ice, melting off my last feverish highs and I leapt through the sunshine and into the night singing songs of my healthiest fears..."

"So take me or don't, I've built up this kingdom you'd hopefully loathe, if we end up alone, a plague on my head and a curse in my home..."

*A QUICKIE: I'm becoming mentally tired and not the kind of mentally tired like when you're getting off work, nope, some other kind of mental tiredness... I guess I'm reaching a turning point, an important one, a decision, the idea of having something to lose, the clock ticking, the acceptance, the rejection, the distance, the future, inaction, the whole package, it scares the crap out of me... Anyway HAVE A GREAT START TO THE WEEK...

The Perishers - Weekends

Artist: The Perishers

Song: Weekends

Album: Let There Be Morning

Year: 2003

"Just remember, as you struggle through the day, relief awaits you, Friday's not that far away..."

"On the weekends we try to get our share of excitement and of fresh air, trying to forget who we're gonna be when the alarm rings on Monday morning..."

*A BRIEF ONE: This song describes perfectly the thoughts of somebody who works in an 8 to 6 job... When it gets tedious, monotonous, boring, when yo wish you could be using that time to do something else but you cannot... Sometimes it is so frustrating, and all you can think about how long until Friday afternoon arrives and when the weekends actually arrive they go by so fast... The thought of living for the weekends (and them being so short) is truly sad... U.U

Album: Liars

Year: 2006

"I was an optimist once, I scoured the streets to find tree lined parking spots until and officer stopped, we argued a bit and then I finally understood... She said, 'no matter what you say, even if you do, I don't really care, I'm not here to kill anybody's mood, no matter what you say, even if you do I don't really care, I'm a lot like you everybody's rude.'"...

"But now I am a criminal to be charged with a heart that's far too large to give to just anyone, to just anyone what a messed up world this is... 'Cause you were an officer and I was a gentleman and we played our parts so well, if there was a hurricane we were the aftermath and I'll leave you with this love...

"Now all I did was bitch and moan 'cause nothing's ever good enough for this buttercup and when I sleep the sleep alone, I blame myself and again I'm never wrong..."

*ALMOST THE WHOLE LYRICS RIGHT? I THINK THEY ARE COOL, OTHER THAN THAT, NO COMMENT... ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND.

Album: Start Static

Year: 2001

"She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and, her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men... And that's what you get for falling again, you can never get 'em out of your head, and that's what you get for falling again you can never get 'em out of your head..."

"It's the way that he makes you feel, it's the way that he kisses you, it's the way that he makes you fall in love..."

*A COMMENT: When I was a teenager I used to get up very late at night, like 2 O'clock, to watch this show that was broadcast on the MTV for Latin-america, called "120 minutos" which basically came from the US show called the same, but in English "120 minutes". The thing with this show is that they transmitted videos from artists that they wouldn't normally transmit on the regular daily broadcast, and basically they were alternative rock, punk, indie, electronica artists and to me that was, oh boy, one of the greatest things that could ever have happened, I remember myself half asleep with a little notebook taking note of the artists and songs I liked and precisely this song was one of them.. Aw man! Those were the times, those were the times :')

Year: 2007

"Floating to the edge of the world, floating to the edge of the sea, floating off the edge of the ocean, out into the galaxy..."

*A BRIEF COMMENT: This band and song was recommended to me by a friend at work about two weeks ago, and I thought it was pretty neat song. The lyrics are somehow apocalyptic and the music comes along sounding space-like, which makes me think it is about the planet ending and us leaving it, thus going into the galaxy... Well, there you go, enjoy!

If I was to make an account of the damages that this weekend left, I would say that despite that slight headache that accompanies throughout the day and the puking in two real quick and painless exhibitions, is that I have an amazing control of my mind and body, I knew I had it to some extent, but this time I surprised myself... And I repeat I'm not fond of nightclubs... HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK!

Jeremy Enigk - Make Believe

Artist: Jeremy Enigk

Song: Make Believe

Album: OK Bear

Year: 2009

"I'm in a crazy state of mind, another solitary space, you take a picture there hoping they won't stop to look inside..."

"There is more about you than all the cameras see, there is more..."

*A COMMENT: I'm very proud of this song, the reason is it has been the one song that has taken me the longest to find... Nearly 7 hours! You might wonder why 7 hours, here's the story... It was Sunday, just about to take a bus back home and I was  just a minute away from getting off the car that took me to the bus station and this song was on the radio and I liked it right away, but I just had the chance to retain the 'there is more about you than all the camera see' part and the word 'marketplace' I'm not sure about this, but I think that Jeremy Enigk (obviously at that time I had no idea who the hell he was) was at that radio program at that moment from what I heard before getting off the car...

When I arrived home, one of the first things I did was looking for the song, but the CD had been just released, I had very few words I could use and literally no site had the lyrics, or perhaps my query was pretty shitty or just a combination... Literally I spent the whole afternoon looking for it, going through several, and by several I mean a lot, Google result pages... I was beginning to become frustrated, then I recalled the radio station name and went to their website with the hopes they had the names of the song they broadcast at a specific time, after all I knew the day and the time I had heard it... I found a document with the songs and I went looking for them one by one until I got it... Then, I added this CD to my 'CD's to buy' list and I thought that if it had taken me that long to find the song, the chances of me finding the CD were going to be really really small and what was my surprise when I found it at a Best Buy in New York, the only copy in the rack, I smiled big time...
