Arcade Fire - My Body is a Cage

Artist: Arcade Fire

Song: My Body is a Cage

Album: Neon Bible

Year: 2007

"My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love but my mind holds the key..."

"I'm standing on a stage of fear and self-doubt, it's a hollow play but they'll clap anyway..."


*A COMMENT: Speaking of limitations and hindrances: It's Monday, Monday, go fuck yourself on Monday! No, but seriously, go fuck yourself :D, I'm thinking my next move and just my mind holds the damn key... If someone grinds my gears today, that's it, I'm already out of the room...

We Are Scientists - Jack and Ginger

Artist: We Are Scientists

Song: Jack And Ginger

Album: Barbara

Year: 2010

"Well its about that time, I probably ought to go, no matter what I do, it's way too late for self control..."

"If you liked it I was hoping I would know..."

*A THOUGHT: I'm just thinking about the huge role of the media and the importance of a contact to make it in the music business... What makes one album to sell well and then the next one sell "poorly"? Talent? Yes. Willingness? Yes. Luck? It has got to be there... but what if those things are not enough? Then I guess you must have a "rope" you can pull... How twisted can the exposition and good reviews be? Perhaps someday I'll get to know.

By the way... GRACIES PEP.

Millencolin - Man or Mouse

Artist: Millencolin
Song: Man or Mouse
Album: Home From Home
Year: 2002

"See me as a chameleon, a cheap shot, I change my cast for anybody's best, but I'm not free I feel more like a robot that is programmed to please the rest, so whatever you want I'll do, whenever you want me to I will agree with you..."

"Mouse more than man, yes I am, you know I wanna say no and just stick to my own plan, mouse more than Man, yes I am, 'cuase yet I go with the flow before the shit hits the fan..."

*A COMMENT: I feel this should be a song where I'm supposed to make a deep comment, but somehow I'm a bit distracted and uninspired, but I guess I'll try to be precise... The most important person should be yourself and yourself always. One thing is to be a selfish motherfucker, and a different one is to give more importance to your own interests over what others may think or say, have a mind of your own, have your own say, doing things because you truly want to and not because you want to please others.

The Stills - Let's Roll

Artist: The Stills

Song: Let's Roll

Album: Logic Will Break Your Heart

Year: 2003

"Lie on the floor of the runway, baby... Wait for the ride; we'll have a comfortable fly..."

"And don't be afraid, to be afraid here with me and plunge, little worm, into the worm-hole with me..."


*A JUSTIFICATION: I really have no idea what to write, so I guess I should tell you a little story of great bravery and passion, a story that will transcend for ages, one that will touch hearts and change lifes... Once there was this little chicken who was afraid of crossing the street, he wanted to do that so he could reach the other side, he wanted it so badly, but he couldn't help it but to be afraid. He didn't know why, as almost no cars went through that way. But one warm day of summer he gathered the courage and decided he would do it... And there he was, on the verge of the kerb, the blowing wind moved his little quiff, the sun reflected in his eyes and the few clouds in the sky seemed as if they were contemplating his next move. So, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to walk... And then he was run over, poor little chicken, he should have looked both ways instead of closing his eyes... But as "assholish" as this story might be seen, it has a bright side, he lost his life trying, facing his fear, although he should have been more careful... Tuturu, THE END!

Garbage - Special

Artist: Garbage
Song: Special

Album: Version 2.0

Year: 1998

"I used to adore you , I couldn't control you, there was nothing that I wouldn't do to keep myself around and close to you..."

"Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own? I thought you were special, I thought you should know, but I've run out of patience, I couldn't care less..."

*A COMMENT: Yesterday I found out I was not that special after all, I thought I was but it turns out I was just one more, it was not that big a surprise, although I must admit it felt like I was the back-up plan all along... When I drive I tend to think a lot, reflect, analyze, so, on my way home I started to think of possible reasons, and after analyzing some of her patterns and some of my mind paths I came (again) to a harsh conclusion, to a lesser extent looks, and in the main frame, money and status. Yes, you read well, I'm not going to delve into the matter, perhaps another time, but yes, it turns out IT might be a major cause, a determinant trigger. So sad and shocking, indeed...

In other issues... FUCK THE GUY WHO CRASHED INTO MY CAR (WHILE IT WAS PERFECTLY PARKED OUTSIDE MY HOME) AND FLED... YOU LITTLE COWARD! FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I HOPE YOU HIT YOUR PINKY TOE WITH YOUR BED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE...

Modest Mouse - Satellite Skin

Artist: Modest Mouse

Song: Satellite Skin

Album: No One's First and You're Next

Year: 2009

"You can say what you want you're forgiven, well happy fucking congratulations, well everyone, everyone wins..."

"Just like being my own solar system, doing good things but then totally eclipse them, oh what's the use, oh what the hell..."

*A QUICKIE: Yes, you cannot win everything all the time, sometimes you have to taste failure, and as bitter as it tastes hopefully you will gain wisdom from it... I remember once I was playing as a goalie, in a team where everyone was older than me, against a team also older than me, I was shitting my pants to be honest, and after I received a goal which might have been result of my fear, a guy comes and tells me "I don't care if we lose 10-0, but bust your ass"... I don't even remember how the game ended, but that' was the lesson I took from it... When it is up to you and you fear or laze then you'll have to live with it...

Year: 2008


" ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ "

*A COMMENT: Today I should run wisely, I don't want the memory of the race some years ago to haunt me again... So with the aim of inspiration, here is a good song from a mexican band, it is from their first CD, which is entirely in English. They have released a second one, which I don't have, but in my opinion they should have stuck with English as language... In other news, should I take the title of the sun literally?

Kings Of Convenience - Misread

Artist: Kings of Convenience

Song: Misread

Year: 2009

"How come no-one told me all throughout history the loneliest people were the ones who always spoke the truth, the ones who made a difference by withstanding the indifference, I guess it's up to me now, should I take that risk or just smile?"



*JUST AN OBVIOUS THOUGHT: Being an upfront person could be a double-edged sword, some people will appreciate it and some other will think of you as the biggest prick that ever lived. And of course, there will always be a difference between being frank and honest and just being a nagger or a fucking attention whore, or both...

"You've got the strength within, don't give up there's so much more to see, so many things beyond your wildest dreams, nothing can stop you if you just believe..."

*A COMMENT: This is one of the cases when you wonder 'what the hell happened?' Such an enjoyable CD, maybe not the success deserved, but yet a good impression was made. A quality follow-up CD would have placed these guys even further on the right path they were already leading. But now 5 years and a hiatus have passed and things have cooled down.

Year: 2000

"When yer lonely and you start to hear the little voices in your head at night you will only sniff away the tears so you can dance until the morning light, at what price?"

*A QUICKIE: This should have been yesterday's song, but what the hell... This was actually the first CD of Oasis I ever bought, I was 12 or something like that, that was 12 years ago... I think this touches the anxiety of being confused, not knowing where your life is heading, as you are falling through the rabbit hole, and somehow I think that right now I'm in that phase and it sucks but I guess it is natural, everyone must bear this phase right? The thing here is I've been experiencing this phase quite often lately...

*A COMMENT: It is funny how shit works these days... You know, I've always been keen on not messing with other people's businesses, and I will stick by that philosophy, but there are certain attitudes, certain ways that just let you down and you can't help it but to wonder and to try to find out stuff... But that is life and people will be people and there is not much one can do about it...
