Against Me - Stop!

Artist: Against Me
Song: Stop!
Album: New Wave
Year: 2007

"Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you. Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you. Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you, you’ve got to make a serious decision..."

*A COMMENT: So, tomorrow elections are held in Mexico to see who is going to be the new president... A lot of weird stuff has been happening, the regulatory entity of these elections is said to be stimulating a specific party and its candidate and there is the latent possibility of an electoral fraud... And damn, it is somehow difficult to know who to believe anymore, I just really hope that it turns out for the best, that people accept the winner because of that, because he/she won, because it was earned legally, but if there is the evidence that it was a crooked victory, question and take action because we are really tired of bullshit, Mexico is in no position to be accepting this kind of shitty behavior anymore, no country is... So let's be very vigilant, wary and critical.

Starsailor - Silence Is Easy

Artist: Starsailor

Song: Silence Is Easy

Album: Silence Is Easy

Year: 2003

"Everybody says that I'm looking for a home now, looking for a boy or I'm looking for a girl now,  I can still let it go, I can still learn to grow into a child again..."

"Silence is easy, it just becomes me, you don't even know me, why lie about me... Silence is easy, it just becomes me, you don't even know me, why do you hate me..."

*A COMMENT: I read that this song might be about shyness, it makes sense, and since I'm a very shy guy I can relate to it in a very clear way... Let's see, in the quotes above, the concept of home, it means to me a place where you feel at ease, where you feel protected, but outside, you look for someone (a boy or a girl) who you feel comfortable with. The 'grow into a child again' part hits the nail right in the head for me, as a child I remember being shameless and mischievous, I was outgoing as can be but somehow that changed...

Now the chorus, being shy and quiet could lead to misconceptions, which often happen to me. People tend to think you are a boring guy or even a jerk, as they think you don't like them or you don't speak to them because you are rude or something, but the truth is that, in general, it is just shyness and for a shy guy silence it is always easy, it overcomes you.

If you take a look to the rest of the lyrics you can see it fits the concept of shyness too, the shelter, the liberation, and stuff...

"I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make corrections..."

*A QUICKIE: I just wanted to note the wind instruments in this song, if I'm not mistaken is a trombone and a trumpet... Anyhow, they sound so good...

Jack Johnson - Situations

Artist: Jack Johnson

Song: Breakdown

Album: In Between Dreams

Year: 2005

• Situation Number one, it's the one that's just begun, but evidently its too late.
• Situation Number two, i'ts the only chance for you. It's controlled by denizens of hate.
• Situation Number three, it's the one that no one sees, all too often dismissed as fate.
• Situation Number four, the one that left you wanting more, tantalized you with its bait.

Album: 12 Desperate Straight Lines

Year: 2011

"Nothing's free in your family tree, but when it's dark again, you can believe again, we were in love in another way, in another city, oh, oh, in another day, but when you look in my eyes, I start shivering, I get a fever chill, I get a fever chill..."

*A COMMENT: When bad timing has got it there's little you can do... For example, let's take the quote above, 'we were in love in another way, in another city, oh, oh, in another day'... See, TIMING is everything... Those fuckers were in love, in love man, can you believe it? But timing didn't do its part and now it all went to hell and they might as well not dwell on the past and on something that could not last O.o
