Song Share: Surf Wax America

By Ammon Shepherd

Here's another great Weezer song. This one also brings back riverboarding memories, but also the one time I tried to be in a band.... This was the song we practiced, once, and never again....

Surf Wax America by Weezer



Lyrics:
The sea is foaming like a bottle of beer
The wave is coming but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxing down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxing down because it's really a blast
I'm going surfin cos I don't like your face
I'm bailing out because I hate the race
Of rats that run round and round in the maze
I'm going surfing, I'm going surfing!

You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat

My buddies and their honeys all come along
They seem invincible as they surf along
The sea is rolling like a thousand pound keg
We're going surfing, we're going surfing!

You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat

You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat

All along the undertow
Is strengthening it's hold
I never thought it would come to this
Now I can never go home

All along the undertow
Is strengthening it's hold
I never thought it would come to this
Now I can never go home

You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat

All along the undertow (you take your car to work)
Is strengthening it's hold (I'll take my board)
I never thought it would come to this (and when you're out of fuel)
Now I can never go home (I'm still afloat)

You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat

You take your car
I'll take my board
You take your car
I'll take my board
Let's go!

Song Share: Say It Ain't So

By Ammon Shepherd

So many good memories of heading out to the river to do some riverboarding, hanging out with friends... highschool... good stuff.

Say It Ain't So by Weezer



Lyrics:
Oh Yeah.
All Right.

Somebody's Heine' is crowdin' my icebox.
Somebody's cold one is giving me chills.
Guess I'll just close my eyes.

Oh yeah.
All right.
Feels good.
Inside.

Flip on the Tele... Wrestle with Jimmy.
Somethin' is bubblin' behind my back.
The bottle is ready to blow.

Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
Your drug is a heartbreaker.
Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
My love is a life-taker.

I can't confront you, I never could do...
That which might hurt you.
To try and be cool, when I say:
This way is-a-waterslide-away-from-me-

that-takes-you-further-every-day! Hey!
To be cool.

Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
Your drug is a heartbreaker.
Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
My love is a life-taker!

Dear daddy, I write you in spite of fears of silence.
You cleaned up, found Jesus, Things are good or so I hear.
This bottle of Stevens awakens ancient feelings...
Like father, stepfather...
The son is drowning in the flood! Yeah Yeah-Yeah Yeah-Yeah!

Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
Your drug is a heartbreaker.
Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
My love is a life-taker.

Song Share: Broken Promise

By Alex Madrigal

I thought of this song during music night when we were talking about how anything that Michael Stipe touches is gold. Brian Molko is a great song writer and i love his voice. His voice is so unique and emotional. I also like that this song shows Placebo's 2 sides, their quiet sad side and the loud angstful and angry side.

Broken Promise by Placebo

Lyrics:
We'll rise above this
We'll cry about this
As we live and learn
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you’re singing

I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

I’ll cry about this
And hide my cuckold eyes
As you come off all concerned
I’ll find no solace
In your poor apology
In your regret that sounds absurd
And keep singing

I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
And I’ll wait my turn
To terrorize you
Watch you burn
And I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

And this is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise

And I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

A broken promise
You were not honest
I’ll bide my time
I’ll wait my turn

Song Share: Fast Car

By Angus McKay

I know almost nothing about Wyclef Jean (for a long time I didn't even know how to pronounce his name). I was introduced to this song through Paul Simon's website. As a devout Paul Simon fanatic I look into everything he is involved in. This was a surprising collaboration for me, but I think it works pretty well.



Lyrics:
[Intro: Wyclef Jean]
Yeah, this those Jersey boys

[Verse One: Wyclef]
I heard a man say Jesus Walks
Me myself I heard Jesus talk
Cause when I heard this beat I felt Jesus force
I heard it through the wire that he made it out the coma
from a fast car, it was a fast car
Yeah~!
Every day is like the wild wild West
Some of us are Bad Boys, some of us are Outlawz
Unsolved mystery, the killer get away
L.A., Vegas at the end of the day
in a fast car, drivin a fast car
Yeah~!

[Chorus: Wyclef, Paul Simon]
You don't gotta be no billionaire
To get a ticket up to the moon
We all know somebody up there
You need a helpin hand, look up right here
To help you see clearly now
To help you see clearly now
I hope you see clearly now
[scratched:] "AW YEAH!"

[Verse Two: Wyclef]
What would you do after your bachelor party
In the bar celebratin with all your homies
Go outside and you ready to ride
Then over 51 shots but you ain't ready to die
in your fast car, yeah, in your fast car
Paul Simon, talk to 'em

[Interlude: Paul Simon]
When that fast car picks you up
You will have no choice
You may hear the tires screamin
But you will have no voice
When that fast car picks you up
You will weep and smile and see
Heaven in the headlights
Mile after mile after mile after mile

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Wyclef]
E'rybody need some TLC
So she headed to Honduras for some TLC, yeah
Havin fun in Central America
But she was a passenger, never a driver
in that fast car yeah, ridin that fast car
Yeah~!
Sweet sixteen I see her leavin the scene
Crossin the street she won't see 17
Blink of an eye, DWI
Hit and run that's felonies
in a fast car, ridin the fast car
Yeah~!

[Interlude]
[Chorus]

[scratched:] "AW YEAH!"

[Chorus]

Song Share: Wolves

By Jake Parker

This guy, Matthew Houck, is a one man indie-folk-alternative-country band. This song Wolves was recorded live in the KEXP studio here in Brooklyn where I heard it one morning.

This song is open to many interpretations, but I personally think he's not describing wolves so much as he's talking about his own demons. It's as if the act of singing this song is flushing out something heavy that's been collecting in his heart. His voice isn't perfect. It warbles, and cracks, but I can't imagine this song being sung any other way.

Wolves by Phosphorescent



Lyrics:
Mama there's wolves in the house
Mama they won't let me out
Mama they're mating at night
Mama they wont make nice

They're pacing and glowing bright
Their faces all snowy and white
Bury their paws in the stone
Make for my heart as their home

They tumble and fight
And they're beautiful
On the hilltops at night
They are beautiful

Blazing with light
Is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
She's muscled and fine
When she runs

They're tearing up holes in the house
They're tearing their claws in the ground
They're staring with blood in their mouths
Mama they won't let me out

They tumble and fight
And they're beautiful
On the hilltops at night
They are beautiful

Blazing with light
Is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
All muscled and fine
When she runs

Mama there's wolves in the house
Mama i tried to put them out
And mama i know you're too wise
To wait till those wolves make nice

Song Share: Frontier Psychiatrist

By Martin Gonzalez

And now for something completely different. You know what I was going to try to explain this song and especially this video when I realized something very important. It just isn't possible to explain this. So enjoy!

Frontier Psychiatrist by Avalanche



I'm not even sure these lyrics are correct but they look close, you'll get what i mean when you listen.

Lyrics:
Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill
Is Dexter I'll today, Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishborne
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system

Oh Mr Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Grab a kazoo, let's have a duel
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys! M-M-midgets, the indians and, Fron, Frontier Psychiatrist
I... I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of 20.000 girls
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend I'd, the violin, violin, violin ...

Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Frontier Psychiatrist

Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
A-a a-a-a-a, a bird? Yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Hello hello hello hello
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else?
Um, a record, record, record !

Song Share: The Truth

By Francisco Manzo-Flores

There is a plethora of groups that could be introduced through Song Share in the vein of what I know is tested, tried and proven to be well liked in this venue, but the fact is that we find ourselves anemic when it comes to music that is outside the adult alternative and acoustic areas. A recent brave submission of Saul Williams has made it easy for me to follow the newborn trend when it comes to less than mainstream hip hop.

Handsome Boy Modeling School is easily one of the most amazing collaborations hip hop ever witnessed - however short lived - and unfortunately is also one of the most under appreciated. Nevertheless, the combination of Dan the Automator and Prince Paul (of De La Soul production fame) proved to be so 'money', that most people with an ear to the ground found it impressive, regardless of their background, testament to their wide appeal.

Part of their secret was the fact that both of them are producers, generally shying away from the microphone and in turn the spotlight. Instead they reached out to a multitude of artists and populated their two albums with a rather eclectic but effective mix of sounds. "The Truth", with its lingering piano and jazzy vocals provided by Roisin Murphy (another artist you must look up if you are unfamiliar, try her songs 'Ramalama' or 'Night of the Dancing Flame'), was the first song I ever heard from them and perhaps for that reason it holds a bit more of a connection with me. Hope you guys find it enjoyable as well.



Lyrics:
[Roisin Murphy:]
Go
Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
Happy would ease your troubled mind
How do the fade, just stay behind?

I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry
This is why i fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last

You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide

If happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity, dear
We can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness

And the truth is you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago
That I would have to let you go

May not be true to see that you would return one day
But in your present state
You may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall

[J-Live:]
Now presiding in this court of hip-hop
Justice, my rap fort�
is Judge, jury, bailiff or prosecuting D.A.
Et ceteras, paraphas
My modus operende
It's carpe diem whether de facto or de jure
Comprende?
The people versus, you and your Sensi
Teaching that style of word-play
Weaker than Wednesday
Regardless of what your friends say
They're all dissable
Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissable
And this long arm of the law grabs the mic to
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The death sentences of this live litigator
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
Stenographers are steady loggin, the jargon
That your counselors are barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they're saying to pursuade them
They realize exactly how i played them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin' with 'Live will
I brew skill with refills from now until
Plagiarizing MC's get their flows to steal

[Roisin Murphy:]
Baby, I don't die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms that burn
Baby, I won't die, just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn
Come to these arms that yearn

I won't die if you leave me high
I won't die if you're not by my side

And the truth hurts
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
'Cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth...

Song Share: Please Don't Leave Me

By Josh Boyle

Pink's lyrics are very honest and vulnerable sounding.

Since I'm a divorce lawyer I deal with situations like Pink sings about in this song all the time. I see spouses do the most awful things to each other. It's sad that someone would treat their spouse, the person they usually have loved more than anyone, worse than they'd treat their worst enemy. And often when the situation is finally falling apart, no matter how bad it's been, one of the spouses will want the other back.

Please Don't Leave Me by Pink



Lyrics:
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da
Da da da, da da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many time I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
Da da da, da da

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is broken
Da da da, da da

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Da da da, da da

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise
Da da da, da da

Please don't leave me
Oh please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I cannot be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry
Da da da, da da

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da
Please, please don't leave me
(Da da da, da da)

Baby please don't leave me
(Da da da, da da)
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me no no no

You say I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back
It's gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

Please don't leave me, oh no no no.
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please don't leave me
Baby, please, please don't leave me

Song Share: Metropolis

By Brad Feuerstein

This is one of the first songs I heard from Monty Are I and it wasn't so much about the lyrics that made me like the song. The musical Genius behind it was just awesome. Had an amazing rock feel a long with some great horn parts.

Metropolis by Monty Are I



Lyrics:
Wake up in this sad city, underemployed and hopes to be with diamonds in her ears.
The people all around her say,
"Good luck with that. Can't even pay this month's rent, it nears."
Girl, I'm worried for you.
But it's not like her to worry.
But she needs to follow the need to swallow pride to get to where she wants,
pride to get to where she is.
And they say she's losing the path she's choosing.
Don't count her out, she'll seize the day.
Now she's making good money.
Dreams aren't as far as they had seemed.
People now, they see.
And she keeps on running to--she's still finding her way.
She falls and rises.
But it's not like her to worry.
Through sweat and blood she'll see.
You can't break this faith from me, this faith that will not be raped.
And it fuels my life's ambition. COME. CRU$H. KILL. DREAM$.
Try quickly, cause I'll shove it back in your face,
and I'll show you what I'm made of.
And you can't make it.
Take the dreams that you're running towards.
Stop your screaming.
Run until you're not alone.
You are not alone. You can't have...

Song Share: Banged and Blown Through

By Alex Madrigal

Saul Williams (or as he is known on this album… Niggy Tardust) is a poet/rapper/actor who collaborated with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails on this album (The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!). I first heard this song at a Nine Inch Nails concert where Trent covered it. I love the idea of the character in the song being a “broken instrument” begging the conductor to “bring out the song” in them. It also reminds me of Trent always referring to NIN as being a “Broken Machine.” I hope you all like the song.

Artist: Saul Williams

Lyrics:

We are broken

Instruments.

Bust wide open

Smashed and bent.

Not what you’d expect

From these city streets.

Who serves to protect

The orchestra in me?

Conductor, conductor,

I feel electricity

Conductor, conductor,

Can you bring out the song in me?

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

We are broken

Instruments.

Bust wide open

Smashed and bent.

Not what you’d expect

From these city streets.

Who serves to protect

The orchestra in me?

Banged and blown through

Conductor, conductor!

Conductor, conductor,

Can you bring out the song in me?

I have spent countless hours slaving away to this song it just makes work so much easier when you have a good beat.
I hope you enjoy.

PS: I will bring forth a pure VNV Nation song, I just have to find the right one to share.

Kathy's Song (Victoria Mix By VNV Nation)by Apoptygma Berzerk



Lyrics:
In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form and void.
And darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And God said: 'Let there be light'
And there was light.
And God saw the light that it was good.
And God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night.
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold... it was good.
And God created man.
And man created machine,
And machine,
Machine created music.
And machine saw everything it had made and said: 'Behold'

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
You know me better than I do
I lost again, my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You knew it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me here...

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
And know me better than I do
I'm lost again my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You've known it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me here...

And machine saw everything it had made and said: 'Behold'

Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

(Please) Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one...

Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

(You know I'm not a saint...)

You know I'm not a saint...
You know I'm not a saint...

And on the seventh day, the Machine pressed stop...

Song Share: Sweep the Leg

By Kohl Glass

I dig novelty songs, especially ones that take unique perspectives of characters from pop-culture . . . so, I loved Sweep the Leg by No More Kings instantly. But it's not just the content, I really dig the song too.

From Youtube: For fans of great music and "The Karate Kid". The "Sweep the Leg" music video is for the first single by a new band No More Kings. The video features the cast of the original "Karate Kid" including Johnny (the bad guy), Daniel-son (the good guy), Sensei Kreese (the evil sensei), the original Cobra Kai (the cronies), and another special guest.

An interesting side note, the video for Sweep the Leg was written and directed by William Zabka, who played Johnny in The Karate Kid. Notice all the other references to "the 80's" in the video as well.

I often find myself wondering what the lives of 80's antagonists would be like now, decades after their defeat. Sweep the Leg kind of answers that question.

Sweep the Leg by No More Kings



Lyrics:
"Ichi, Ni, San, Shi
Ichi, Ni, San, Shi"

I didn't see it comin’
creepin’ up from behind
I was almost swallowed whole
by the thrill of the fight
it wasn't for the money
and it wasn't just for fun
I wanted to make a mark
I just wanted to be some one
I heard the devil whisper in my ear (uh huh)
he made his message clear when he said:
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
oh good god now you gotta believe me
It never really mattered
I was always under control
Monkey hear, monkey think
there is no fear in this dojo
I was a super hero
king of 1985
I showed no mercy
I was always Cobra Kai
but I caught a crane kick to the face
(uh huh)
I guess he sealed my fate when he said:
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
oh good god now you gotta believe me
good god you gotta believe me
good god, good god
oh, good god now you gotta believe me
oh good god now you gotta believe me
oh good god now you gotta believe me
I heard the devil whisper in my ear
He made his message clear when he said:
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
oooohoooh
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg (johnny)
good god now you gotta believe me
Sweep the leg (johnny)
Sweep the leg
Sweep the leg (johnny, johnny)
good god you gotta believe, you got to believe me

Song Share: McGreggor

By Angus McKay taken from www.angusmckay.net

There was a time when nobody knew the band Elbow, save the devout few who followed them slavishly. I was among those few, and count myself fortunate to be so. Then they made the album The Seldom Seen Kid which won them the Mercury Prize, the Brit award for best band, and a slew of other top awards, and suddenly they were famous and everyone knew them.

Being one of the early fans, their new-found fame is a bitter-sweet pill. Sweet in that they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Bitter in the sense that I always rather enjoyed being the devoted fan of an amazing band that no one had ever heard of.

Nevertheless, I am still a devoted fan and now wish to share another piece of their brilliance from the days before the glory.

This song, McGreggor was recorded with the Leaders of the Free World album, but only released as a B-side, tragically. It came about somewhat as a fluke: while in the studio listening back to the mix for the song Picky Bugger, keyboardist Craig Potter accidentally hit the “half time” button, slowing the track down to half its original tempo (surprise). It turned out to fit perfectly with some lyrics that Guy Garvey had been playing around with, and they cut the track.

The result is this beautiful blend of gospel and rock with the classic Elbow twist.



Lyrics:
Oohhhh
There was lying at the table
Crying on the stairs
A raven on the gables singing
'Jesus doesn't care'
A woman at the window
With her hands on her hips
Staring out across the ocean
Like the prow of a ship
No blinking or emotion
Like the prow of a ship
Just endeavor and devotion
Like the prow of a ship, Ohhh rest in your bed
Oooohhh, McGreggor's dead
The kids were in the kitchen
Carving up the will
where/when the long line of limousines
Snake down the hill
They think they're winning
And shaking hands with the prodigal
And pompous who knew the man
Father figures and mo-fos
Who knew the man
God's torment at the party
As if God knew the man
Ooohhh, rest in your bed
Ooohhh, McGreggor's dead
Recall his lies
Pick up the pen
Record his reign
For the b**** that bore him
Is in heat again
Ooohhh

Song Share: The Sprout and the Bean

By Jake Parker

Here's one: The Sprout and the Bean by Joanna Newsom from her first album: The Milk Eye'd Mender.

A bit about her from Wikipedia:
Newsom's vocal style (in the November 2006 issue of The Wire she described her voice as "untrainable") has shadings of folk and appalachian shaped-note timbres. Newsom has, however, expressed disappointment at comments that her singing is "child-like." Some reviewers have stated that her voice is distracting in juxtaposition to her harp playing.

I say it's a sublime juxtaposition. I love all of her songs as they make for great drawing music. I must have listened to The Sprout and the Bean half a hundred times while making my comic The Robot and the Sparrow. I think it's the bedtime story quality to her songs that I love so much.



Lyrics:
I slept all day
awoke with distaste
and I railed,
and I raved

That the difference between
the sprout and the bean
is a golden ring,
it is a twisted string.
And you can ask the counsellor;
you can ask the king;
and they'll say the same thing;
and it's a funny thing:

Should we go outside?
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?

And as I said,
I slept as though dead
dreaming seamless dreams of lead.

When you go away,
I am big-boned and fey
in the dust of the day,
in the dirt of the day.

and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,

who know th'outside!
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?

Song Share: Beds Are Burning

By Martin Gonzalez

Well some of you may recall these guys from back in the day and some may not. For me Midnight Oil has always been one of those bands that I wake one day with a chorus or a line playing over and over in my head. I have fond memories of putting their tape in and just jamming out. For all you youngin's that this thingy. Anyways, these guys are an Aussie band with like 10 axes to grind. They are very political and usually have a message to spread. Oh and fun fact their singer is about one steve tall (that's about 6'5"), he is very good and spreading messages.

Beds Are Burning by Midnight Oil



Lyrics:
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share

The fire will scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
we'r gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Song Share: Rock Island Line

By Alex Madrigal

So when i first see the Johnny Cash Remixes CD, i think "this can either turn out awesome! or turn out horribly." I decided to buy it and i was not let down by most of the CD, to be honest, the only song that is still growing on me (very slowly) is the big headlining song on the CD "I Walk The Line" with Snoop Dogg. But for the most part this is a great album, and i chose this song because it wasn't too unchanged but also it's not one of the more radical tracks on the album. I was really close to choosing the song "doin' my time" just because of the haunting use of johnny's vocals during that song. However, i chose this song because I particularly like the approach that the DJ took on this song. It starts out with the original and slowly adds and adds more and more to it. The best part is that the DJ adds on just enough at just the right parts of the song so that it doesn't sound forced.

Title: Rock Island Line (wolf remix)
Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: Johnny Cash Remixed (2008)



Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line
The Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleasn
And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate
They gotta pay the man some money
But of course, if you got certain things on board
You're okay and you don't have to pay the man nothin
And just now we see a change comin down the line
When you come up to the toll gate
The driver, he shout down to the man
I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows
I got sheep, I got all livestock, I got all livestock
I got all livestock
The man say, you alright boy just
Get on through, you don't have to pay me nothin
And then the train go through
And when he go through the tollgate
The train gotta have a little bit of steam
And a little bit of speed
And when the driver think he safely on the other side
He shouts back down the line to the man
I fooled you, I fooled you
I got pig iron, I got pig iron
I got all pig iron,
Down the rock island line is a might good road
Oh the rock island line is the road to ride
The rock island line is a mighty good road
Well if you want to ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station of the rock island line
It was cloudy in the west, looked like rain,
but round the corner come-a passenger train.
North-bound train on the south bound track,
you were all right a-leavin but you won't be back
Now I may be right and I may be wrong
but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Now the engineer said before he died,
there were two more drinks he'd like to have tried,
the doctor asked him "what could they be"
he said "a hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea"

Song Share: Friday I'm in Love

By Sarah Scoville

I picked Friday I'm in Love by The Cure. It's a classic song that I play frequently. Growing up I always wanted to listen to the music my older siblings were fascinated by. The Cure a funky European band from the 80's. Watching this video reminded me of jamming out with my friends band, LoTUS, when I was in high school. You just want to kick it and enjoy the music. Now when I listen to this song it picks me up if I'm feeling blue, or just pumps me up to go out on the town.

Seriously, who doesn't want to be in love on Friday?? You can check out more on the band at http://thecure.com/.

Lyrics:
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a sheik
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Friday I'm in Love Acoustic Music Video

Band Share: Small Faces

By Ammon Shepherd

shock, shock, surprise...

I've got a bunch of songs to put into one song share. From a band called Small Faces. They were quite popular in England in the 1960's, but never quite made it big in the US.

These songs are one of those few that tell a story. It's an original fairy tale about a man who goes in search of the other half of the moon. The speaking parts are done by a famous English comedian, Stan Unwin, who spoke in Unwinese (English with gobbledegook). An odd, but funny story, some pretty good 60's music (organs and all).

About Small Faces: they were a huge hit in England, not so much in the US. Some of their members went on to play with Rod Stewart in a band called The Faces.

Anyhow, enjoy all the songs, one after another...

Song Share: Tapha Niang

By Kohl Glass

In October 2008 Sony released this statement:

"During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur'an. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused. We will confirm the new launch date shortly."

This is the aforementioned background music track: Tapha Niang by Toumani Diabaté's Symmetric Orchestra



The offending phrases are:
1- In the 18th second: "كل نفس ذائقة الموت" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death').

2- Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "كل من عليها فان" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish').

Song Share: Furr

By Martin Gonzalez

These guys are weird the album this is from (same name as the song) came out last year but I only just caught it in like the last month or so. I even played this song for my wife on valentines day(results were so-so, note to self give children drugs beforehand).

Heh so yeah it's pretty much all I've been listening to since then. It's one of those albums were I quickly fell in love with two of the songs (hint another song share coming =>), but the rest just didn't do it for me right away but has slowly grown on me. Anyway whatever these guys have their own youtube channel so feel free to watch all their video's they won't call you pirates.

Blitzen Trapper - Furr




Lyrics:
Yeah, when I was only 17,
I could hear the angels whispering
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
We would gladly get our fill
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
And my thoughts, they surely were
Turned to instinct and obedience to God.

You can wear your fur
like a river on fire
But you better be sure
if you're makin' God a liar
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna' get made,
Don't be afraid of what you've learned

On the day that I turned 23,
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
When suddenly a girl with skin the color of a pearl
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
She was listenin' for the angels just like me
So I stood and looked about
I brushed the leaves off of my snout
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
So I took her by the arm
We settled down upon a farm
And raised our children up as gently as you please.

And now my fur has turned to skin
And I've been quickly ushered in
To a world that I confess I do not know
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
Across the ancient distant flow,
It fill our bodies up like water till we know.

You can wear your fur
Like a river on fire
But you better be sure
If you're makin' God a liar
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna' get made,
Don't be afraid of what you've learned

Song Share: Jeremy

By Angus McKay

Here's another familiar flashback for most of you: I recently became reacquainted with this one because I am currently in an ensemble project for school in which we are doing all Pearl Jam covers. I get to play the part of Eddie Vedder. It's a high school dream come true. But being in this position has given me new and greater respect for the man.

I consider myself a pretty good singer (4 years regional choir, 2 years All-State, etc.), but when handed the task of singing Jeremy I was blown away by just how physically taxing it is, and I still can't do it like Eddie. The man has a God-given gift of a voice and he uses it well.

Not only is this song an amazing vocal feat, but it is fascinating in so many ways. First off, it's the true story of a boy named Jeremy who shot himself in front of his classmates (Eddie Vedder being one of the classmates). "Try to forget this, Try to erase this, From the blackboard". That is such a cool line that gives the perfect sense of how strongly this event was impressed upon those who witnessed it. There's a lot of other metaphors, analogies and even straight-forward story telling that goes on in this song and it's beautifully woven together with that raw-90's-grunge energy that I grew to love back in the day.



Lyrics:
At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little f***
Oh, but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth
And bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin
Oh, dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Try to forget this... (try to forget this)
Try to erase this... (try to erase this)
From the blackboard

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Song Share: My Girls

By Jake Parker

I heard this song on a local indy radio station broadcasting out of Brooklyn and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

My Girls by Animal Collective on the album Merriweather Post Pavilion.



Lyrics:
Is it much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
With a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house

I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in a precious race
And children cry for the one who has
A real big heart and a father's grace

I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls

Song Share: Maria

By Alex Madrigal

okay, so i'm sorry that this song is in spanish. But i think it's worth it. It's by a band called Cafe Tacuba. The band is very very very eclectic and plays many different styles even though they are usually just described as spanish rock. The band plays everything from ska (rarotonga), alternative rock(eres), and; as seen in this song, more traditional mexican styles. (they even dress the part in this video)

Best of all... one of the member of the band regularly plays the melodica... what's not to like?

I love the simplicity of this song... it could be played using only the guitar (and melodion of course) and it will be just as beautiful.

This song is a ballad about a woman who was beautiful but stuck up... now... i believe that in the song... she's dead, i've had discussions with others who believe that she's not really dead, but it's just "as if" she were dead. I translated the lyrics the best i could.

If you like this song you might like Avientame (the video is crazy... and translated on youtube) it was the theme song for a pretty big indie film (amores perros) from mexico that (i believe) was all about people being the cruelest to the people that love them the most... and that is defenitly conveyed in the video. [i don't mean to double dip.. but there you go] (warning... it has pretty graphic kissing scenes.)
Back to Maria, hope it's not boring... hope you dig it.



Lyrics:
Maria
Maria goes out at night (sale sola de noche maria)
suffering(haunting) through the city (pena por la ciudad)
walking the streets where she once (recorriendo las calles que un dia)
denied kisses in the dark (nego besos en la oscuridad.)

Her eyesight gets blurry; (Y se nubla la vista Maria)
because it hurts to remember (porque duele recordar)
that the kisses once denied, maria, (que los besos negados Maria)
will never more return (nunca mas regresaran)

at night through that route/street/road (En las noches por ese camino)
something strange is apt to happen (algo extrano suele pasar)
in feeling on the lips a chill, (al sentir en los labios el frio)
from other lips that cannot be seen (de otros labios que no regresaran)
it's maria who's haunting the streets (es Maria quien pena las calles)
and under a street light (y debajo de un farol)
she steals kisses and life from the people (roba besos y vida a la gente)
while she lies in a coffin (mientras yace en un cajon)

pretty maria (Maria bonita)
maria withers (Maria marchita)

Song Share: Hero/Heroine

By Sarah Scoville

Kohl: "Did you want to say anything about why you liked the song or something like that?"
Sarah: "No, I just think it's cool!"

Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls



Lyrics:
It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time

Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And it's so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

Song Share: Heroes and Villains

By Ryan Arvay

The Beach Boys are, to most, an oldies band - long consigned to oldies radio and greatest hits cd's full of songs about surfing, cars, the beach, and girls.

Heroes and Villains had nothing to do with any of these things. It marks for The Beach Boys, and especially group leader and genius Brian Wilson, the creative peak for the band. The song was conceived as part of the ambitious SMiLE album, one of the rock era's first and only true "concept albums," and often referred to as "the greatest album never made". The full story is too lengthy and involved to recount here, but some history is essential.

By the mid sixties Brian Wilson had long since grown tired of "the formula", cranking out hits, which he was capable of without much effort. By 1965 he had also stopped touring with the band after suffering a nervous breakdown on board an airplane bound for a live show.

While the band continued to tour without him, Brian was in the studio creating music. Pet Sounds was the first full album of music in this new direction. This album is consistently in the top five on most "100 greatest albums of all time" lists. A beautiful and heartbreaking meditation on a relationship - the album goes from the first rush of excitement to the final painful soul searching question:

Where did your long hair go? Where is the girl I used to know? You said you'd never change but that's not true. Oh Caroline, you - break my heart, I just want to go and cry It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die. Oh Caroline, why?

Though not a commercial success Pet Sounds was hailed by critics and Brian continued to push the musical limits with the band's next single, Good Vibrations.

Today, Good Vibrations is just another overplayed radio staple, but in 1966 it was groundbreaking stuff. Originally begun during Pet Sounds, Good Vibrations was recorded in segments over six months. Brian compiled the final mix from hours of studio sessions, leaving several musical and vocal sections unused. Upon its release it was called a "pocket symphony."

It was now Brian's ambition to record an entire album with this new "modular approach". With the Beach Boys touring over seas in Great Britain, Brian formed a collaboration with a young lyricist and session musician, Van Dyke Parks.

In the late 1960's, "hip" was anything anti-establishment. The counter culture decried the traditions of their parents, resisted the mainstream, and resented the government. However, for Brian and Van Dyke, if being patriotic was particularly unpopular, then it was - by definition - the hippest thing of all. It was at this time the two decided they would make a decidedly American album. In an era fraut with protest and teenage angst, the tentative SMiLE was a stiff breeze of hope and optimism.

SMiLE was to be a travelogue of sorts, taking the listener from the eastern most United States to the most western, from the pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock to the Sandwich Isles (or Hawaii) all from the point of view of a European settler (or "bicycle rider.")

Heroes and Villains is a song about the good guys and bad guys of the wild west. There were also songs about life on a farm, and the building of the transcontinental railroad. It was not a white-wash of history either, revealing warts and all by acknowledging the plight of Native Americans and the Chinese laborers' contributions to the railroad.

Many of the musical statements in Heroes and Villains can be found through out the whole of SMiLE.

There were two other movements on the album, one about childhood and loss of innocence, and the other - a suite inspired by the four ancient elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. Both movements, like the first, were close to completion when, in May of 1967, Brian shelved the project and walked away.

The reasons why he did this are as varied as why The Beatles broke up.

Upon returning from their tour the other Beach Boys were shocked to hear Brian's new sounds. No one was as vocally critical as band mate Mike Love, who took serious issue with Van Dyke Parks elliptical, oblique, poetic lyrics. Love's blunt challenging of the lyrics served to sour Van Dyke's experience and resulted in his leaving the project. Without his biggest supporter and creative collaborator, Brian - emotionally beaten up - lost his confidence. He became overwhelmed with the task of sequencing his musical segments, which changed everyday. Mounting pressure form Capitol Records to finish the album was stressful. Brian also suffered from mental problems which were amplified and agitated by his drug use.

During the recording for the fire portion of the "Elements suite" Brian had all the musicians wear toy fire hats. He brought a big drum of burning wood into the studio. The violins screeched like fire engine sirens and the drums crashed like a falling wall. That day a building near the studio burned down, and Brian feared his music had caused it. He grew increasingly paranoid that people were bugging his home.

SMiLE was heavily anticipated during its eight months of production. Album cover art was produced and 400,000 album sleeves were printed awaiting vinyl, print ads appeared in magazines, countless magazine articles were written, and Brian appeared on a CBS special: Inside Pop - The Rock Revolution; hosted by Leonard Bernstien. Despite all this, he scrapped it, and the project remained untouched and unavailable for decades, except for bootlegs.

With the shelving of SMiLE the Beatles were crowned winners of the production race by default with the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in June of 67.

Eventually the band released Smiley Smile, a re-recorded, trimmed down, sparse, truncated version of the album which featured some interesting vocal exercises, but minus SMiLE's most outstanding tracks, like the fire tapes. It was a flop and a disappointment. Band member Carl Wilson called it a "bunt instead of a home run." As a result The Beach Boys pulled out as head liners at the famous Monterey Pop Festival, their glow was dulled almost over night, and their reign at the top of the charts ended.

In 1993 a five disc box set of the Beach Boys music was released called Thirty Years of Good Vibrations. It contained some 30 minutes of unreleased material from the SMiLE sessions. In 2004 Brian Wilson - minus the Beach Boys, but plus a really good backing group - faithfully re-recorded and re-created the music of SMiLE for a live tour and subsequent studio album. After being joined by Van Dyke Parks, who wrote some new lyrics for the unfinished portion of the album, Wilson sequenced the songs (something he had always struggled with) and SMiLE was finished. An album nearly forty years in the making. The new release does not have the same quality of sound or aura the original does, but like a book and the movie inspired by it, they should each be taken on their own merit. In that regard, the 2004 release is a fine, brilliant album.

If you've made it through this "brief history"...thanks for reading.

Lyrics:
I've been in this town so long
that back in the city,
I've been taken for a lost and gone
and unknown for a long, long time.

Fell in love, years ago
with an innocent girl
from the Spanish and Indian home-
home of the heroes and villains.

Once at night,
catillion squared the fight
and she was right in the rain of the bullets
that eventually brought her down

But she's still danicng
in the night, unafraid
of what a dude'll do
in a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
just see what you've done.
(Repeat 2x)

Stand or fall
I know there shall be peace in the valley
and it's all an affair of my life
with the heroes and villains.

Doo doo do doo...

In the cantina
Margarittas keep the spirits high
there I watched her
she spun around and walked in the warmth
her body fanned the flame of the dance
Margaritta, don't you know that I love you-

Woooo, wooooo, wooooo, woooooooooo

You're under arrest!

My children were raised.
You know they suddenly rise.
They started slow, long ago,
head to toe - healthy, wealthy and wise.

I've been in this town so long,
so long to the city.
I'm fit with the stuff,
to ride in the rough,
and sunny down snuff -
I'm alright by the...

Heroes and villains
just see what you've done.
(Repeat 2x)
