Oh No!

This song always makes me stop, think, and re-evaluate the way I'm living my life.

That's pretty powerful, no?

Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after a success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip

Don't want cash don't want card
Want it fast want it hard
Don't need money
Don't need fame

I just wanna make a change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change
I just wanna change

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, Oh no! Oh no! Oh No-oh!

One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst,
So I always act like I'm the best
If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal
it has not appeal

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, Oh no! Oh no! Oh No-oh!

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, Oh no! Oh no! Oh No-oh!

I'm gonna live I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail I'm gonna die
I'm gonna live I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail I'm gonna die die die die

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, Oh no! Oh no! Oh No-oh!

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, Oh no! Oh no! Oh No-oh!
Oh, Oh no! Oh no! Oh No-oh!

Happy Wednesday!

I first heard of Brooke Fraser after I stumbled across these lyrics one day:

Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?
Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong?
We belong.

After seeing that I just had to look her up.

Boom!

Instant love.

Now, I turn to her when I need something soft and beautiful and inspiring to listen to. Which has been a lot this past few months, let me tell ya.

I've spent a lot of time listening to her and you should too! :)

My faves:

"Deciphering Me"

"C.S. Lewis Song"

and "Love is Waiting"

So...watcha think?

Happy Tuesday!

All We Need Is Right Here Inside Us All

How is it possible that I've never heard this song before today? And I thought myself a Story Of The Year fan! ;)

*click*

Now the damage has been done
And this machine has begun on a path of destruction
We need the medicine
To reverse what's been done
Before this disease has destroyed everything we know
EVERYTHING WE KNOW!

All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all

With our weapons drawn and all our resources gone
We're facing extinction
The only antidote consists of blood, sweat, and hope
And a blueprint to save us from all that we've become
ALL THAT WE'VE BECOME!

All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us
Here inside us all!

Yeah!
Oh

Now the gears they will fail to turn
As the lights go out
And the sun will be all that burns on our way down
(On our way down)
But right now we have to understand the problem
AND OVERCOME!

So arm yourself
You'll mind your gun
It's time to learn
Accept what's done, and yeah
REPAIR THIS DESTRUCTION!

ALL WE NEED IS A REASON
ALL WE NEED IS RIGHT HERE INSIDE US
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all
All we need is a reason (All we need is a reason)
All we need is right here inside us all
(All we need is a reason)
All we need is a reason
(All we need is a reason)
Whoooaaaa
(All we need is a reason)
All we need is a reason
All we need is right here inside us
Here inside us all!

It's pretty legit...

Happy Sunday!

xoxo

Miss Me?

"...So you send me your love from around the world
as if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams.
Oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel..."

New Song

I heard this song today and I'm totally in love with it. Over and over, it keeps playing in my head. It really makes you wonder at the fragility of life and of love.



"No One's Gonna Love You"
~Band of Horses

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.

Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard
