Bloc Party - Talons



Artist: Bloc Party
Song: Talons
Album: Intimacy
Year: 2008

"Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes, you saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers..."

"When did you become such a slut?"

"And when it comes it will feel like a kiss, silent about it, and when it comes it will feel like a kiss and I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled, and when it comes it will feel like a kiss..."

"And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame, and I didn't think it would catch up as fast as I could have run, fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way, a new disease came in the post for me today..."


*A QUICK COMMENT: This song, from what I've read and heard, is about AIDS, and it sure makes sense, has a fitting context, that's why I put big chunks of the lyrics in the quotes... Also the music is so energetic and active... Good lyrics and good music... ENJOY YOUR FRIDAY!

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Death of You and Me



Artist: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Bids
Song: The Death of You and Me
Album: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
Year: 2011


"High tide, life is getting faster, no one has the answer, I’m trying to face the day in a new way, the botton of a bottle is every man’s apostle, let’s run away together you and me..."




*A BELATED POST: Last night I fell asleep, and I did have in mind the post but as sleep was taking over me, I began to care less about it and so it happened... I said "to hell with it, I'll do it in the morning". So here it is Noel Gallagher's new stuff... It is hard not to compare it with 'Oasis', because when you have a great thing going and then you are onto the next one, you already have a benchmark... But enough said, let's just enjoy it...

The Verve - Appalachian Springs



Artist: The Verve
Song: Appalachian Springs
Album: Forth
Year: 2008

"Does anybody know where we're really gonna go? I was wondering if we've got that real soul, you know the thing we cannot trade or ever own..."

"Solitude, my sacred mood, Appalachian Springs, all my things... Took a step to the left, took a step to the right and I saw myself and it wasn't quite right..."


*A QUESTION: Have you ever gotten this weird feeling on Sundays? And I'm not talking about the feeling of knowing that Monday comes after... I'm referring to the one you get when you start to wonder about stuff, like why are we here, where are we going, what's our purpose, you know some questions about life, questions that mankind has been trying to answer since the beginning of times... I don't know, it happens to me on a frequent basis, and it used to happen a lot more often when I was in school... The weird thing here is that when I start to wonder that kind of stuff, I get a bit anxious and feel a bit empty, nothing to worry about, I guess it is just because I don't get that far getting answers, even though in my thoughts I'm a thousand miles away...

*A QUICKIE: It's been awhile since I last posted something I had heard on 'Chuck'... Whenever I hear this song (and some others from this CD) I immediately go back in time and have this remembrance of me sitting in my living room, doing a college project where I was supposed to "apply" for some internship at some organization like the UN or a bank. But what do you care... So here it is... Enjoy your Friday! Enjoy your weekend!

Silversun Pickups - Substitution



Artist: Silversun Pickups
Song: Substitution
Album: Swoon
Year: 2009

"I know you've heard it before, but then it wasn't enough, you don't want to be held back from the substitution, I know you've seen this before and now enough is too much, you don't want to be set back when the substitution comes... I'm sorry..."


*A QUICKIE: It should come as no surprise, and as a matter of fact it did not, it was just as expected... 'I know I've seen this before, and now enough is too much, you don't want to be set back when the substitution comes, I'm sorry' I should be saying... At least something good came out of it...

By the way... Muffler Bummer :S

Our Lady Peace - Is Anybody Home?



Artist: Our Lady Peace
Song: Is Anybody Home?
Album: Happiness... Is Not a Fish You Can Catch
Year: 1999

"Tonight, your faith has come down to money & a TV, psychics who've never been to Mars and Nazis breast feeding..."

"Hey, is anybody home? Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness that everyone becomes? Is anybody lone? Has anybody painted fear on the bedroom walls that save us from the day? Is anybody home? Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness that everyone becomes when they're not alright?"


*A COMMENT: I think this song basically talks about finding a true meaning to it all, to life... I think it is saying that we live in a convulsed world where there are "gurus" that claim to know THE right way of living a life, a world that has become so materialistic where it seems that the items you own define you, make you who you are... And to some that becomes a goal, having more stuff, living the "cool" way, but maybe they do so to compensate the lack of meaning, to compensate some kind of emptiness, the loneliness, the fear of the unknown, of what is beyond...

Limblifter - Jumbo Jet Headache



Artist: Limblifter
Song: Jumbo Jet Headache
Album: I/O
Year: 2004

"Sacrifice your pilot and navigate yourself, hijack fleeting moments, we hit the fear note... Bring on the headache, bring on the headache, bring on the headache, yeah..."

"We need to complicate things that wind us up, drooling on what blooms up in a garbage dump, now ring the dinner bell and chew bad beats, a virus eats at the music and in the movies..."

*A QUIKCIE: 1396.47 days have passed since my last headache... I need to get some sleep soon... I'd be bullshitting you if I told you how many hours or days it takes you to recover from your sleep debt, all I know is I want to pay it now... If you know the answer let me know...

"But oh no where are you tonight? And how'd we get here? It's too late to break it off, I need a release, the signal's a cough, but that don't get me off, I summon you to appear, my love..."

"Remember the weight of the world, it's a sound that we used to buy, and all that you can, all that you can give is a cold goodbye..."


*AN 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT': I don't really know what to write about this time... If didn't know me and I was a follower of this blog I would say 'that is one bored motherfucker' but since I know me... I actually did some stuff this weekend but maybe not stuff that you'd find relevant or super interesting, just the normal stuff... And to be fair I do write when I'm bored as hell... Could it have been a more exciting weekend? Perhaps it could have, but I was content with the way it wound up... HAVE A NICE START TO THE WEEK!
