25. Nothing Compares 2 U- Sinead O'Connor

2009-12-05T13:21:00.002-05:00

"It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you"

24. Words of Love- The Mamas and The Papas

2009-12-04T22:16:00.002-05:00

"Words of love, so soft and tender,
Won't win a girl's heart anymore.
If you love her,then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before.
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go. (No!)"

23. The Porpoise Song- The Monkees

2009-12-03T21:15:00.001-05:00

"My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
Theres so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye "

To feed, upon their prey"

18. Joey- Concrete Blonde

2009-11-29T10:18:00.002-05:00

Well I was much to busy yesterday to post anything so lucky you, you get 2 songs today!
This one I've liked forever. I just recently started listening to it again and can't stop!

"And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore"

17. San Francisco- Scott McKenzie

2009-11-27T13:22:00.001-05:00

"Sittin' down by my window,
Honey, lookin' out at the rain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Baby, lookin' out at the rain.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt just like a ball and chain"

15. O Valencia- The Decemberists

2009-11-25T14:25:00.005-05:00

The Decemberists are a fairly new band for me. I was hanging out with a bunch of people at a party, someone was asking us all who our favourite bands were. The next day I downloaded all the ones that I hadn't heard before. One girl had said The Decemberists. I found this song and I really liked it. It's kind of a Romeo and Juliet type story. I gotta say though, this is one of the worst music videos ever haha.

"All I heard was a shout
Of your brother calling me out
And you ran like a fool to my side
Well the shot, it hit hard
And your frame went limp in my arms
And an oath of love was your dying cry"

14. (Let Me Be Your) Dirty Fucking Whore- Machine Gun Fellatio

2009-11-24T20:52:00.003-05:00

;)

"When I leave your tool used-up, worn and soggy
I won't stop then, oh no no
I'll become your little leg-humping doggy
Let me be your dirty fucking whore "

13. Edge of Heaven- Wham!

2009-11-23T21:47:00.003-05:00

Should I be embarrassed that I own a Wham album on vinyl? ...Probably.

"I would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up
If I'd thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up
But don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to "

12. Casey Jones- Grateful Dead

2009-11-22T10:34:00.004-05:00

"Trouble ahead, Lady in red,
Take my advice you'd be better off dead.
Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you."

11. Colours- Donovan

2009-11-21T10:42:00.003-05:00

I'm really loving Donovan right now. Too hungover to write anything else. Just listen to it damn it! :)

"Blue's the colour of the sky-y,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best."

10. Truckin'- Grateful Dead

2009-11-20T12:43:00.004-05:00

I keep having all these sexual dreams involving Jerry Garcia... I'm not sure what they are supposed to mean lol. Maybe I've just been listening to too much of the Dead lately...

"What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"
"

9. Randy Scouse Git- The Monkees

2009-11-19T11:37:00.005-05:00

Alright, so the Monkees have been my favourite band since I was 9 years old. Laugh all you want, but I think it's pretty cool that I've been completely dedicated to a band for 13 years. I wasn't a very popular kid, the Monkees were way before my time so everyone thought I was weird. Every Saturday morning I'd watch the reruns of the show on TV. Randy Scouse Git is one of my favourites.

"Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave."

8. Renegade- Styx

2009-11-18T11:07:00.004-05:00

Last night my roommate was teasing me over my liking of American classic rock because of my dislike for one of his favourite bands The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I used to love classic rock in high school and it was what I listened to the most. The coolest kids in school were a group of guys that called themselves PureCanadian. They did Jackass stunts and made a terrible video. I bought the video and this song happened to be in it during a "stunt" where they rode around on tricycles. Pretty ridiculous but the song is great...

"The jig is up the news is out they've finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man"

7. Sand and Foam- Donovan

2009-11-17T11:24:00.002-05:00

I downloaded the entire Donovan discography and went through every song keeping what I liked, deleting what I didn't. I came across this one and really loved it.

"The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico."

6. Glass, Concrete & Stone- David Byrne

2009-11-16T10:46:00.003-05:00

A great song by David Byrne of the Talking Heads. I have another ex to thank for this one. He knew more about movies than anyone i've ever met in my life and would get most of his music from soundtracks. This is from the 2004 movie In Good Company. We would listen to this song on the bus while drumming away on the seats in front of us.

"Lookin' at happiness
keepin' my flavor fresh
nobody knows I guess
how far I'll go, I know"

5. The Book of Right-On- Joanna Newsom

2009-11-15T10:40:00.003-05:00

My roommate was playing this album one day and I was thinking "What the hell is he listening to??" Joanna Newsom has such a unique voice. Kind of child-like. The next time I heard it coming from his room I had to figure out what it was. The Milk-Eyed Mender- Joanna Newsom. GREAT ALBUM. This is my favourite off of it...

"I killed my dinner with karate
Kick 'em in the face, taste the body
Shallow work is the work that I do"

4. Train of Consequences- Megadeth

2009-11-14T11:46:00.004-05:00

I have to thank my ex-boyfriend for this song and Megadeth in general. We put this on a mix CD for the car and it was always one of my favourite songs to listen to while we drove around.

"There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is Trouble
I'm coming in for the kill"

3. Elephant Gun- Beirut

2009-11-13T10:50:00.009-05:00

Heard this song for the first time when one of my roommates was attempting to play it on the ukulele. He put on the music video and I fell in love with this song. Since then I've listened to it about 8 billion times...

"If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight"

2. Selah- Lauryn Hill

2009-11-12T00:06:00.004-05:00

One of my favourite songs of all time. I found this song after watching Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I absolutely loved the music in that movie so I quickly ran out and bought the soundtrack. This is by far one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

"Nothing can be done against the truth
No matter how we remain in denial, yeah
Wasting time
Replacing time
With each empty excuse
But that'll only work a little while"

1. Couldn't Have Said It Better - Meat Loaf feat. Patti Russo

2009-11-11T14:07:00.004-05:00

I was completely obsessed with this song for a really long time. It was written by James Micheal (Sixx AM) and Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue, Sixx AM) which makes total sense why I love it so much, I'm a big fan. It came out in 2003, when I was 16 years old.

One night the year this song came out, I could hear a lot of commotion going on outside. I looked out the window and there were some cops arresting a guy right in front of my house. My sister and brother ran in my room to look out the window. I quickly grabbed my Meat Loaf CD and put my stereo speakers up to the window. I pressed play and out came "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT" The cops and the guy getting arrested look up at my window so I jumped down, turned off the song and my siblings and I burst into giggle fits. We thought it was the funniest thing ever! Anyway, it's a great song give it a listen...

"You say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like love nobody else"
