99 Problems- Hugo

"Make the devil change his mind"

I got all this scamming thing figured out.  They didn't get any of my money so HA! Take that asshoes!  And yes, I meant to spell it like that. Besides that, I have been crocheting all day.  I'm making a blanket that looks like a tetris screen. Pretty awesome.  Plus some hot pads.  Why pay for it when you can make it?

 Today's song has absolutely nothing to do with what happened today.  Sorry for the disappointment.  But I really don't know how you would be disappointed in learning about Hugo's 99 Problems.  Well, we all know that 99 Problems is a Jay-Z song.  So, apparently, Hugo is fan of the song.  He heard a natural melody in it, changed some of the lyrics, and made it new.  And, I have to say, it is brilliant. 

If your havin' girl problems
I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one

Tip my hat to the sun in the west
Feel the beat right in my chest
At the crossroads a second time
Make the devil change his mind

Its a pound of flesh but its really a ton
99 problems and a bitch ain’t one

If your havin' girl problems
I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one
99 problems but a bitch ain’t one

Like broken glass under my feet
I can lose my mind in the sea
Looking for prize but I don’t want blood
All I wanna drink that are drink the flood
You can come inside but your friends can’t come
99 problems and a bit ain’t one

If your havin' girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one
I got 99 .. 99 .. 99 .. 99
99 problems But a bitch ain’t one

99
99 problems and a bit ain’t one

Liar (It Takes One to Know One)- Taking Back Sunday

"Your spotless insticts are valid"

I may have been scammed.  I really don't want to talk about it too much.  I'm pretty embarrassed.  But it makes me sad that those kind of people are out there.

I love old Taking Back Sunday.  Ah, the good ol' days of alternative rock with band like TBS, Brand New, and Dashboard Confessional.  My friend is really into early 2000 alternative and insists that new music is never going to be as good as those days.  Hmm....I don't know.

All our secrets they are tailored trouble
Draped loose now around your hips
Your spotless instincts are valid
We co-exist

Got 26 days to work with (got 26 days)
Got 26 days to work with
(It moves, it moves, it moves)
We'll see what all gets done

I'm an addict for dramatics
I confuse the two for love
You can tell me that you don't beg

Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
(Intrusive and arrogant)
Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
(Intrusive and arrogant)

Got 26 days to work with (got 26 days)

Then back on that island that you swear by
Still barely can afford
It's still a question of How long will this hold?
Is it any different now that we are
(I said we are patient)
Oh, don't you go there, not here, not now
(It moves, it moves, it moves)
Not here, not now

I'm an addict for dramatics
I confuse the two for love
You can tell me that you don't beg

Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
(Intrusive and arrogant)
Liar (liar)
If we're keeping score
We're all choir boys at best
(Intrusive and arrogant)

We're all choir boys at best!

If we're keeping score

Liar (liar) Liar (liar)
It takes one to know one

 

Surprise, Surprise- Brett Dennen

"Songbird sitting in a tree house with a trumpet to her lips"


I know this is a day late.  It's because of that dumb site maintenance yesterday....ugh.  But, that guy I'm dating surprised me late night.  Surprise date!

http://sjdahlman.wordpress.com/author/sjdahlman/

I have recently just discovered Brett Dennen which I know is blasphemy since he is kind of the quintessential indie rocker.  Eh, my bad.  But, so far, I like his stuff.

Dark clouds gather in the afternoon
Come together just to cry
Seagulls struggling against the wind
Falling out of the sky
Grandma's gathering aluminum cans in a rusty shopping cart
Born-againers getting their lives together while my whole world's falling apart

Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well You know it's just a matter of time
Surprise surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know It's just a matter of time

Songbird sitting in a tree house with a trumpet to her lips
I'm laying on my back in the tall green grass staring up at the eclipse
Whispers lurking in the alley behind where the children where no shoes
Call girls and corner kids hustling saying what do you got to lose

Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well You know it's just a matter of time
Surprise surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know It's just a matter of time

And there's nowhere you can run to because the eyes are upon you
Some of the coming up hard and hungry
Stepping up to take your turn
Some of them throwing their money in the fire
Just to watch it burn

Open up your eyes
It's happening all around you
If it hasn't found you
Well You know it's just a matter of time
Surprise surprise
What do you think the world owes you
It's not the way it's supposed to go
Well you know It's just a matter of time

Back Broke- Swell Season

"Don't give me false hope"

My doggy is hurt. We woke up this morning and she was shaking uncontrollably.  At first, we thought it was  a seizure but it lasted too long.  We finally took her to the pet hospital and they think she did something to her back.  I mean, she is a weiner dog, so it seems probable.  I hope she's ok.

http://ronjoewhite.blogspot.com/2010/09/neighborhood-dog-attacks.html

I love Swell Season.  They are so folky, and sensitive, and harmonic.  I loved Once.  I thought the soundtrack was fabulous. And I especially love Glen Hansard's voice.  Raspy awesome.

Back broke and dancing
cause you're here
beside me
cause you're here
cause you're here
here with me

Back broke and happy
cause you're near
cause you're near
nearer to me

I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
I'm back by big demand
Don't give me false hope

Back broke and smiling
cause it's clear
cause it's clear
you still want me

I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
We're back by big demand
Don't give us false hope

Back broke and crying
cause it's near
cause it's near
Our pardon

Stay (I Missed You)- Lisa Loeb

"You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong"

I am currently watching the 40 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 90s on VH1.  Boy, do I miss the 90s.  Best days of my life for sure. Plus, the music was amazing.

http://spinningmusic.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/gonna-make-you-sweat-spin-mix-43-minutes/

Stay is my favorie 90s song.  Actually, it's my favorite song lol.  My favorite song from my favorite move Reality Bites.  I seriously cannot not sing to this song. I love how it really doesn't have a chorus, but just multiple verses like it a sung dialogue.  I love that.  It's like she's singing a conversation, or at least a profession of love.

You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time so

And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you
Yeah yeah, I missed you

You say I only hear what I want to

I don't listen hard, don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
To anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative
No, No, No, Bad

So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up (turn the radio)
And this woman was singing my song
Lover's in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born
Well, well, this is not that
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown

And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you

You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong
Oh, I thought, hey, I can leave, I can leave
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you
Yeah, I miss you

You said, You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me
Cause you know you're just so scared to lose
And you say, Stay

You say I only hear what I want to

 

My Body- Young the Giant

"Fools in a spiral round this town of steel"

I've started a new workout routine.  I really need to get back in shape.  I hate it when I tell people that because they look at me and say why.  I am skinny but that no way means I'm healthy.  Plus, I'm a nutrition major and need to stop being a hypocrit.  I type this as I'm eating cheesecake. 

http://ohheyitshil.blogspot.com/2009/04/marathon-monday-t-7-days-yes.html

So, my body is pretty good song.  Really catchy.  I really like the lead singer's voice.  Reminds me of someone else but I can't think of who.  Hope to hear more from them.

Stop, the train is riding
Down to the station
Where you lived
When we were school kids

Hey, the rails are gone now
And I am falling down
Fools in a spiral
Round this town of steel

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more

Stop, the train is riding
Down to the station
Where I lived
When I was a cool kid

Hey, is it my fault that
The fallen embers burn
Down in a spiral
Round your crown of thieves

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
My body tells me no
But I wont quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more

It rides out of town

Oh, it's my road
It's my road
It's my road
It's my road
It's my road
It's my road

And it's my war
It's my war
It's my war
It's my war

His eyes are open
His eyes are open

Oh, cause I want more
I want more
I want more

His eyes are open
His eyes are open

Hey, hey, hey
My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more
My body tells me no
But I wont quit
Cause I want more
Cause I want more

It rides out of town

Mama- Spice Girls

"I never thought you would become a friend I never had"

Happy Mother's day mommys! I love my mom.  She really is my best friend and I tell her everything.  I've got something a little special up my sleeve for her tonight.  I'm cooking dinner....and let me tell ya, I'm a good cook.  So, give your mom a hug today, or if that's not possible, call her up.  She raised you into who you are, so show her that you care.


http://www.wallyhood.org/2011/05/mothers-day-dining-wallingford/

 I do love me some spice girls.  Oh, man, childhood! I loved them.  I had the spice worldmovie, and a purse with them on it, and a poster, and about 3 years ago I got their greatest hits cd.  Girl Power!

She used to be my enemy and never letting me be free
catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line
I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become a friend I never had

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood (mama)
So now I see through your eyes
all that you did was love

Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
You're my friend

I didn't want to hear it then but
I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about
about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then I didn't know why
why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
all that you did was love

Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
You're my friend ,you're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why (I know why)
why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
all I can give you is love (all I can give you is love)

Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
You're my friend, you're my friend

Ohh, my mama my love
Ohh, my mama my love

In love in you, in love in me
And love is true and guaranteed

Im loving you,you loving me
our love thats true so true
