Walk The Moon - Iscariot


Artist: Walk the Moon
Song: Iscariot
Album: Walk the Moon
Year: 2012

"Perhaps I lack some foresight, should have known,brother, you were so right, sure as the setting sun, can't trust just anyone..."

"That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for, I said that's what you're asking, but you're gonna get more than you bargained for, I said that's what you had, but you don't have it any more, you had it coming..."


*A COMMENT: Do you remember I posted a song from this band almost a year ago?(HERE IT IS) Well, that song also comes in this CD, the thing is that that was a self-released album and this is their major label one, so, you know how that works... Anyhow... I'm going with the obvious with this song meaning: Betrayal... I'm digging this song so much...

The National - Sorrow

Artist: The National
Song: Sorrow
Album: High Violet
Year: 2010

"Sorrow found me when I was young, sorrow waited, sorrow won, sorrow that put me on the pills, it's in my honey it's in my milk..."

"Sorrow's my body on the waves, sorrow's a girl inside my cage, I live in a city sorrow built, it's in my honey, it's in my milk..."


*ANOTHER QUICK ONE: You know, when sorrow (any kind) comes at a young age (actually at any age, but it is sadder when your young), it's a double-edged sword, if the person gets over it, the fact strengthens him, but if he doesn't, oh boy, it's a vicious cycle and all downhill from there...

Artist: LCD Soundsystem
Song: All My Friends
Album: Sound of Silver
Year: 2007 

"You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can and the next ten people who are trying to be polite, when you're blowing 85 days in the middle of France, yeah, I know it gets tired, only, where are your friends tonight?"

"And to tell the truth, oh, this could be the last time, so here we go like a sales force into the night..."


*A QUICK ONE: This song just reminds of memories and the different path that you and your friends choose to follow... Mixed feelings now and in a few years those mixed feelings will be bigger...

Stone Temple Pilots - Sour Girl

Artist: Stone Temple Pilots
Song: Sour Girl
Album: No. 4
Year: 1999

"She turned away what was she lookin' at? She was a sour girl the day that she met me... Hey! What are you lookin' at? She was a happy girl the day that she left me..."  

"Don't turn away what are you lookin' at? He was so happy on the day that he met her... Say, what are you looking at? I was a Superman, but looks are deceiving..."


*A COMMENT: Back in the day, when MTV was still MUSIC TELEVISION and not some reality show crap channel,  I was so hooked with this song and this actually could have become the first CD I ever bought. I remember having asked in every in 'Plaza Tangamanga' store where CD's were sold. I was 10 or 11 years old back then, so I remember my parents taking me everywhere they knew but I wasn't able to find it... The "funny" thing is that to this day I haven't bought it, maybe someday soon I will... But I wonder, had this been my first CD, would something have gone dramatically different when it comes to my taste in music? 




And remember... If you liked it, buy it... Or keep it in your wishlist for more than 10 years...

Angus and Julia Stone - Silver Coin


Artist: Angus and Julia Stone
Song: Silver Coin
Album: A Book Like This
Year: 2007

"I'm in the days of throwing rocks when I saw your picture on a silver coin, stole a kiss through your golden locks, I had a dream that you were gone, woke up and you were gone..."

"All the love has gone away, 'cos I didn't have the heart or strength to say: I'll miss you when you're gone..."


*A COMMENT: Let's call it coincidence, or you just call it what you want, I'm not even sure about it. The thing is that today, literally all day, I had this certain person, with whom I have not spoken for long, in my mind. I kept on wondering the things that could have been done differently, I don't know lots of stuff came to mind regarding her, but mostly it was if I ever crossed her mind... And apparently I did, but then again I'm not sure, I've chosen I'm going to think I did cross her mind and that the universe weirdly conspired to make this happen...

"Hold tight for heartbreak, buckle up for loneliness, right time to get away, where I'm going I couldn't care..."

"I'm numb and getting off, getting real numb with you, big plans that never come, holding out for something new..."


*A QUICKIE: I'm busy trying to fix my gray-striped hoodie, which was cleverly thrown into chlorine by my oh so thorough aunt... This fact has had me so pissed since last Friday, I had only worn it twice, it wasn't even dirty or stained, but guess what... It smelled like a fucking ton of cigarettes and guess what... everyone fucking smokes in this fucking house but me... So I'm gonna be really busy trying to fix it and let me tell you even if it comes out perfect, it will smell a fucking ton like 'Sharpie'... I'm getting high here... Enough with whining... Enjoy the song...

"Alive! Dead! I was inside your head, had time well spent, I got your mind well bent, snuck back into shade..." 

"That's me all right like purity white, like viciousness black, I give a little then I take it back, can you take it?"


*A COMMENT: You know those days when you let your mind wander and you start thinking all kind of thoughts, some leave you wondering deep stuff, some others just leave you amazed on how much shit can go through your mind. And I don't know, I think that precisely those thoughts (the 'shitty' ones) end up letting you have a bigger scheme of things... Just saying...

Year: 1994


"Is it my imagination or have I finally found something worth living for? I was looking for some action but all I found was cigarettes and alcohol..."

*A QUICK ONE: Well, not for me... just the smoke which wasn't mine (I don't smoke) and not a single drop of alcohol which translated into the man in blue letting me go after being pulled over for a burned out rear light... Oh yeah!
