We are tied here to one another

Two things are a shame here.  1) The sound quality on this youtube version sucks and 2) nobody else has posted these lyrics.  This is a go-to late night track for me.

All Summer in a Day - VHS or Beta



And every day
It's the same thing
I'm staring
Into the sky
And every night
It's the same thing
I'm staring
Across the sky

And when you leave
I won't be there
I'm falling
From the sky
And when you shine
I won't be there
I'm falling
From your eye

We are light, we are lovers
We are tied here to one another
In the dark, of the night
I will stay here and be your light
We are light, we are lovers
We are tied here to one another
In the dark, of the night
I will stay here and be your light
(repeated)

Give me more, more, more of the same

seriously



Love is all you need to know
And all you need to know is
Love is all you need to know

Love is all you need to know
And all you need to know is
Love is all you need to know

Skin tight
Skin tight hot as hell
You cast a deadly spell
S-P-E-L's disaster

Skin tight
Skin tight hot as hell
You cast a deadly spell
S-P-E-L's fiasco

Love is all you need to know
And all you need to know is

Love is all you need to know
And all you need to know is
Love is all you need to know

Give me pleasure, give me pain
Give me more, more, more of the same

Give me pleasure, give me pain
Give me more, more, more of the same

Love is all you need to know
And all you need to know is
Love is all you need to know

Love is all you need to know
And all you need to know is
Love is all you need to know

Skin tight, so hot

Night On Fire (Cut Copy Remix) - VHS or Beta

Suitcase packed on the side of the road
Rainin' down from my head to my feet
It seems so strange in the back of my heart
That these sounds were never meant to believe

I'm set free and I'm ready to go
You can't stop me and you already know
The best days of our lives have yet to come

Back and forth through the city we'll go
New sounds comin' out of the streets
Don't look back to the parody show
Of sellin' your souls to the beat

No one saw the night behind the sky
I bet you never wondered why
You're sitting here in the midst of nowhere

Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire

Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire
Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire

Two times back again, we're leavin' this behind
And when you hear from you'll know it when it's time
We're listenin' believin' that it's true
I feel it, you know I feel it

We'll light the night on fire
We'll light the night on fire
We'll light the night on fire
We'll light the night on fire

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

you can always come back

I will Come Back (Classixx Acapulco Nights Version) - Holy Ghost!

, originally uploaded by the five plus you and me.

Can we slow it down
Just for a moment, see
Some things never get old
Let us rearrange
We go perfectly
At least that's what I've been told

And your mother won't leave you alone
And your father won't leave you alone
In a minute things could change
At least until you get home
It's the middle of the night
That's my favorite part
Keeps me under the gun

There's a part of me
That keeps coming through
And I will come back, I will come back
To you

What a change of plans
I can't wait to see
What you come up with next
Point somewhere on the map
It's okay to leave
You can always come back

And your mother won't leave you alone
And your father won't leave you alone
So you book yourself a room
Where a video plays on a loop
It's the middle of the night, the night
That's my favorite part
Keeps me under the gun

There's a part of me
That keeps coming through
And I will come back, I will come back
To you
To you
To you

the whole world is sleeping

I just had to post this because a) I like the song (just got it free at Neon Gold) and b) nobody seems to have posted the correct lyrics! To save this pretty tune from misinterpretations like "strung out" instead of "stronger" (and thereby hugely changing the meaning), here are the correct lyrics.



Back to Back - Wolf Gang

The whole world is sleeping
I still lie up in my bed
As I came 'round to thinking
That I don't want nobody else

I want to be with you
It kills me to say
That I want to be with you
That is just the way
It's just the way, now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, back to back we're stronger
Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

, originally uploaded by wemby.

The whole world is thinking
That I must be depressed
The point that they're missing
Is that I don't want nobody else

I want to be with you
It kills me to say
That I want to be with you
That is just the way
It's just the way, now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, back to back we're stronger
Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

Back to back, back to back
Back to back, back to back

We're stronger

Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

All I can say is this feeling is the best that I have known

this is definitely a conclusion to my previous post but I'm strangely ok with how everything turned out. mainly, I'm proud of myself. I put all of last year's toxicity behind me and am ready to be happy and healthy in my relationships.
and so begins a new chapter =)

Sleepless City - PUNCHES

We're all alone in this sleepless city
I mean, I was 'til I found you
Things have changed since you've been with me
Cause night by night we make it through (Yeah)

I was lost in this sleepless city
I mean, I was 'til I found you
Y'know things have changed sinve you've been with me
Cause night by night we know what to do

I feel alive before the sunrise
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Maybe tonight we won't say goodbye
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me

We're all alone in this sleepless city
I mean, I was 'til I found you
Some things have changed since you've been with me
Cause night by night we make it through

I feel alive before the sunrise
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Maybe tonight we won't say goodbye
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me

I know a change is coming
But I'm not gonna do it alone
And I know these streets are lonely
But they're the streets that I call home
When I came here tonight
I told myself this must be better than sleeping alone
All I can say is this feeling
Is the best that I have known

I feel alive before the sunrise
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Maybe tonight we won't say goodbye
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me

Strange weather, isn't it?, originally uploaded by genevievenyc.

with the moon i run

I had my ipod on shuffle when this came on and i was like wow who is this? The only kings of leon i knew were the tracks everybody knows namely sex on fire and use somebody. i like this way more. It's super good for me these past couple of nights when i cant sleep. seriously ive been getting 5 hours per night. on a different note (or actually the same lol) i thought i recognized the intro tune. it's pretty much the same as the track "this is why i'm hot". but, of course, i like it better here. it's more spooky. Fits right in with this john lennon track i plan on posting soon. you'll see.
p.s. now im really regretting sleeping through the kings of leon set at bonnaroo =/



Closer - Kings of Leon

Stranded in this spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
The floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of veins
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry
The skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

You shimmy shook my bones
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?
It feels so good but I am old
Two thousand years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

a state of active boredom

I feel like nobody has an excuse to be bored. There is always something to do unless, of course, you're in some windowless concrete room. The way I feel is different. I'm bored but not for want of activity. I am cooking and reading and going out all the time but something's missing. Perhaps it's wanderlust, yet I feel happy in my current environment. I think I may start doing some creative writing. I just finished a "#1 New York Times bestseller!" and although the protagonist went through enough interesting stuff, it was simply not well written and the plot hung together like a bunch of cotton squares parading as a quilt. In short, I feel I can do better. Then I will also have physical evidence of my productivity to show my dad and reassure him that I am, in fact, serious about my education. I wish I could be in the woods right now and go exploring with a flashlight. The terror of the unknown would be exhilarating. If a bear walked outside my house right now I'd never hear it over the air conditioning. How boring.

empty daydream that keeps playing on repeat

I know this has been out for a little while and i actually had the lyrics all written up as soon as it was released but i was stumped about what flickr photos to post with it. Finally, i think i have it at least somewhat sorted out. The reason it was particularly important for me is not just because i love neon indian, but also because i have awful bouts of insomnia and a generally screwy sleeping schedule, as you know if you read this blog regularly. This song has become my anthem on those long nights; it's so haunting and beautiful. As is often the case, I am the first to post these lyrics online so they may be really inaccurate and i welcome corrections. thanks!

it washes over you the bruises that we trace

run to the lights of the city

i can download hundreds of unknowns and remixes from music blogs but at the end of the day i need my cut copy. i'm in a really weird place right now. hoping weird doesn't become dark but there are some academic issues weighing on me, per usual. it was easier when i had my laptop working with my 50 sticky note lists. i had such a long list of good words and phrases and then last night i called my friend crotchety and cantankerous and had nowhere to write it. i may go back to writing lists in my moleskine or even put them on here. *shrug*. i'm not saying i'm sad right now but the last time i failed a class it was really hard to find myself again. but then again, i've been through this before, i can do it again. and i have all these lists of fun things and exciting things forming in my head and in the margins of my sudoku book. the lists remind me i have so much fun stuff i could be doing. i've been home over a week now and haven't hung out with any friends. not a single one. i guess i'm punishing myself. aren't i always? i have this paper and it's 2 weeks overdue and grades are already in so there's really no point in me writing it but i'm not letting myself have fun until i write it and send it off with an apologetic email. the worst is that i really liked the class it was for and now ive probably failed it. i can be such an impulsive child when it comes to my schoolwork. hey, at least i know that and can try like hell to fix it. this adds to my list of reasons to change my life plan around and not attend law school. law school is for people who love to study. i just love to argue. i can't even think that far ahead. i'm taking it one hour at a time in my attempt to do this paper that won't count for anything anyway. hopefully at least the professor will see i cared so if/when i want to retake it he doesnt think i'm a complete goof-off... am i living in a "fantasy world" as my dad would call it? it's kinda sad how i can't talk to him anymore about academic stuff. i really could use his pushing but it leads to huge tension and he stresses himself out over my homework. i see no quick fixes here. all i know is when it comes to this end of semester bomb i feel ashamed. very ashamed. i wonder how i can redeem myself. perhaps an extended sobriety and/or a summer course. well, looks like i def need a summer course to make up credits, which will cut into my photo class plans at least financially if not also in scheduling. there are bugs EVERYWHERE in my room. i have a moth problem and i just killed a huge fly and while i was at school an ant colony invaded the bathroom and now has moved to my room. i keep myself very clean and my room very dirty. perhaps because i've always had cleaning ladies. i hate it i try to tell them not to come in my room. i feel like im living in a hotel often. all my personal things are hidden to declutter and nothing feels permanent so i try to make a nest where there may not be a place for everything but everything's in it's place and i don't find my external hard drive in my clothing closet like i did this week. i know this may sound really spoiled of me to complain about having someone clean my room but until it's forced on you, you don't know how uncomfortable it can be. i'll make my own bed for half their pay, how's that dad? once i deal with the ants. once i deal with this paper. and then i can take a deep breath and dive into my lists of projects. that is going to feel so amazing. motivation enough to work on it right now! i got my bowl of kashi and soy milk drizzled in honey and cut copy on repeat =)

tearing up the oxygen to find one another

ok ok my number 1 most played song in 2009 is tearing up the oxygen by maritime. it holds personal meaning. i played it 1322 times.


Tearing Up The Oxygen - Maritime

if you drink enough water will i fade?
when i'm out of your system, forget the things that i said
then the scenery changes.
and cars have no remorse they take the world by force
we wish we could travel so recklessly
even in our sleep we surrender
you can do anything
and i, i should be so lucky.

so now i chase my bags someday they'll take me home
my clothes are worn so thin they accent my bones
and the sleep i've lost could rest me.
but clocks keep slippery time
they paint the salt stained lines
of the best and the worst and the maritimes
when your eyes are off me, i'm alone

they could be anywhere
i should be so lucky
tearing up the oxygen to find one another

can't focus on anything

Dramamine - Modest Mouse

Traveling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out Listerine
Id said what Id said that Id tell ya
And that youd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
Ive said what Id said and you know what I mean
But I still cant focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Traveling swallowing dramamine
Look at your face like youre killed in a dream
And you think youve figured out everything
I think I know my geometry pretty damn well
You say what you need so youll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
Ive said what I said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything

let me sleepwalk

a song of modern love

The Shins - Girl on the Wing

One wound up punch of intuition
Lays flat my whole take on us.
Youre the girl on the wing of a barnstormer
The tidal rabbit who came of age before her time.

We could have been so good-natured
If id relented when you insisted,
But weve been backed against
All natures walls far too long.

You felt abandoned by me,
I recall the sunshine as you were melting
And though the comedy softens the fall
They still hear us with their ears to the wall.

I sold all my evil motives,
No icicles stuck in my hide.
Im through with riddles, i know were little
Just help me feel warm inside.

Before we take this ride and let it slide
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide.
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
Remember youre the one who summoned me above any other kind.

We could have been so good-natured
If youd relented when i insisted,
We take a week off, let the garden grow by itself
And let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory ninties.
And though the comedy softens the fall, we stall fall short.

Before we take this ride and let it slide
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide.
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
Remember youre the one who summoned me above any other kind.
