A Song a Day

Give Me Hope - New Politics
Summer's come
But I don't know why
It's so damn hard for me to do things right
Maybe if you just let me try
I can make you a believer
Make you a believer

You keep me hanging on the edge of time
You keep me hanging on the edge of time

Give me hope
And give me love
Give me whatever I want
'Cause what I want is someone
Like you
So give me truth
And let us pretend that we make love to the end
So give me hope
(make love to the end...make love to the end...)

So, tell me baby what's your point of view
Like how am I doing here
Does it lead anywhere
And is there any way
For me to be sure
I can make you a believer
Make you a believer

You keep me hanging on the edge of time
You keep me hanging on the edge of time

Give me hope
And give me love
Give me whatever I want
'Cause what I want is someone
Like you
So give me truth
And let us pretend that we make love to the end
So give me hope

All she wants is a funky rockin' rolla
She knows she's got the look
That's why she gives the cold shoulder
She keeps it hot even in December
This ain't about the weather
You're too hot!
Get out the sweater
I got the beretta
Without the sweater
It's so much better
We could all get wet
Or just all get wetter
It really doesn't matter I can make you a believer
You know what they say about rock n' roll

Give me hope
And give me love
Give me whatever I want
'Cause what I want is someone
Like you
So give me truth
And let us pretend that we make love to the end
So give me hope​

Did not know you liked Grimes @Snake on the Moon :D I am going to a show on St Patrick's Day where composers re-interrupt and deconstruct the music from her album Visions. It should be interesting :)
 
Yeah, heard that song in my car today. Been a while. Loved it then, love it now. My song for today.


Steve Lee - I like guns

I like guns I like the way they look
I like the shiny steel the polished wood
I don't care if there's big or small
If there for sale, hell i want em all
I like guns, I like guns, I like guns

I really like my .22 mag
My .45 Lever with the Winchester tag
I like my double barrel, I've had it most my life
My .357 was a present from my wife

I like guns I like the way they look
I like the shiny steel the polished wood
I dont care if there big or small
If there for sale, hell I want em all
I like guns, I like guns, I like guns

I don't really get all the fuss
Why there trying to take our guns off of us
Cause I ain't gonna shoot anymore
And no-one shoots at me cause I've got a gun

I like guns I like the way they look
I like the shiny steel the polished wood
I dont care if there big or small
If there for sale, hell i want em all
I like guns, I like guns, I like guns

God made the animals 'n God made the trees
God made you, Hell he even made me
He gave me this voice so I could be a singer
So you tell me why I've got a trigger finger

I like guns I like the way they look
I like the shiny steel the polished wood
I dont care if there big or small
If there for sale, hell i want em all
I like guns, I like guns, I like guns
I like guns, I like guns, I like guns

For my British friends here... None of which I think ever look in this thread lol


It's at night when they come,
When I'm alone, and not with anyone,
Through the shouts and music,
of the crowd down the road boozing,
Near the free car park,
The bins and the alleyway, of the Chinese restaurant,
Number 3 for 2, and number 4 for 1

We're going down like BHS,
While the abled bodied vultures monitor and pick at us,
We're going down and it's no stress,
I lay and hope for the knuckle dragging exodus,
We're going down like BHS,
While the abled bodied vultures monitor and pick at us,
We're going down and it's no stress,
We're going down like BHS

I think about the E,
As it lowers it's self on me,
Past the closing hour,
When the light in my phone starts to lose power,
Through the karaoke it screams it's name,
You can't blame the betrayed,
In the snakes and ladders,
We are the Baldricks son, and Blackadders

We're going down like BHS,
While the abled bodied vultures monitor and pick at us,
We're going down and it's no stress,
I lay and hope for the knuckle dragging exodus,
We're going down like BHS,
While the abled bodied vultures monitor and pick at us,
We're going down and it's no stress,
We're going down like BHS

(Ooh) Well laying on a boat well what do you do,
(But ooh) Laying on a boat mate look at you,
(Ooh) Well laying on a boat well what do you do,
(But ooh) Laying on a boat mate look at you (Look at you!)

We're going down like BHS,
While the abled bodied vultures monitor and pick at us,
We're going down and it's no stress,
I lay and hope for the knuckle dragging exodus,
We're going down like BHS,
While the abled bodied vultures monitor and pick at us,
We're going down and it's no stress,
We're going down like BHS

Since I missed a day.. I have yet to post any rap so here is some :)


Wa-lah!
Pullin' rabbit food out of parker
Carrots catch the light right, up the block from the farmer
He got that lettuce, that cabbage, that broccoli
Tryin' to catch a fire
Locks like Marley
That Chevy frame rattling like a Caribbean roof-top in the rain, and the window panes wiggle following suit
And the black suites sell bean pies, and the cream suites shout soap box
And the lime-green suites send angles to the streets with botox (Shh)
Don't talk
Cuz there's rollers in the corner (whoop!)
Football on the blacktop
Little C rush the quarter
Five alligator, six alligator, seven alligator, car!
Game on, till the street lights came on
Crowd out by the Save-On
Paper bags 'round tall cans, talkin' that old manishness like
"Man, when I was 22 I woulda coulda used to be the shit!"
Or the high-waisted bikini model standee
Two eleven in penny candy

It's a storm comin'
Everybody inside
It's a war comin'
Stack your bread, get high
Gotta pour somethin'
Out for the homies
Turn that beat up
Get loaded
It's a murder on the outside, everybody inside
Murder on the outside, everybody inside
Murder on the outside, everybody inside
Inside out now, lock n' load, lets ride

Donald Duck, Sunny D, Tampico, Capri-Sun
Orange couch, plastic wrap, what's happening re-run
Oak frame hologram Jesus portrait
Brown shag carpet, broken screen door to the back porch
Tykes in the toilet gurgle every six minutes like clock-work
Grandfather's clock not working
Great grandmama's Crock Pot chocked full of stew meat
'Who, me?' said a speech bubble on a dog on a Sunday morning comic
Clipped and stuck up to the fridge with big chip bag magnet
Big chips stacked in the [?]
Behind glass, where the dominoes and the Bicycle cards are
And the thick, yellow and crystal tumblers
One sits on the table
With a single ice cube melting into a thimble full of Jack Daniels
The telephone receiver hangs
Swingin' by the cord
And the front door is swingin'
Wide open, accordingly
image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif


And that big block engine turnin' over in the Caprice
That's peelin' out of the driveway, lettin' the tires schreech

It's a storm comin'
Everybody inside
It's a war comin'
Stack your bread, get high
Gotta pour somethin'
Out for the homies
Turn that beat up
Get loaded
It's a murder on the outside, everybody inside
Murder on the outside, everybody inside
Murder on the outside, everybody inside
Inside out now, lock n' load, lets ride

Orange cones and yellow tape
Palm trees swayin', passers by all look the other way
Nobody speak to police this or any other day
They comb the streets, knock door to door asking for mother's sake
Trying to catch another break
Body on the pavement 'bout 10 steps from the front porch
Photographer snappin' pics to go with the coroners report
Of the seven exit wounds, three in the skull four in the torso
Blood spread dry, red black red snapback even more so
Lays three paces to the south
The direction of the wind
New deputy [?] picking up shell casings again
Finds one in the browning grass by the sagging four foot high chain link fence
Drops it in a bag marked 'Evidence'
Here come that Caprice again
Rolling too slow up the street men sit four deep in
They seats and slow up by the scene, bandanas hide they faces
But all they heads are shakin'
They nod in unison and hit the coroner without breakin'

It's a storm comin'
Everybody inside
It's a war comin'
Stack your bread, get high
Gotta pour somethin'
Out for the homies
Turn that beat up
Get loaded
It's a murder on the outside, everybody inside
Murder on the outside, everybody inside
Murder on the outside, everybody inside
Inside out now, lock n' load, lets ride

Breaking my own rules too because I forgot as a joke (I can enjoy but have a hard time taking nerdcore seriously) I wanted to post this as my first rap song and it is too late to delete that past one.. This song is not that great but it always makes me smile.. The power of being a Scorpio!


When I go out, almost every time
People wanna ask me "What's your sign?"
I think it's kinda silly, but I really don't mind
I pause... then I reply

"Guess!", with a little grin, and then they go
"Yes! Of course it just makes so much sense!"
Cuz everybody everywhere knows
That answer only comes from a Scorpio

And with that little line I know I've got 'em
Other signs in the crowd slide down to the bottom
It seems a little odd that it would make me awesome
But it does, just cuz I was born in autumn

All my other Scorpios are much the same
Looking for love and out running the game
Doubt nothing, full power now, without shame
This song is about you; you're so vain

So it goes in zodiac, our egos tend to be the worst
Born October 23rd to November 21st
We live in houses filled with mirrors in which we peer upon the hour
Often the envy of the other eleven, and drunk on our own power

Passionate, jealous, obsessive and intense
Magnetic and ambitious, completely self-obsessed
Narcissistic, secretive, dark and emotional
Brooding, stubborn, resentful, very, very sexual!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers, and the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns, and Leos
All will fall and face their fate at the feet of the Scorpio!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers, and the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns, and Leos
All will fall and face their fate at the feet of the Scorpio!

Take a look here, do you like what you see? (Yeah!)
Don't answer that, I was talking to me (Oh.)
I own every room when I enter a place
I got a wall full of photographs all of my face
And it isn't my fault, I was born into it
Doesn't this beat sound like porn music? (Yeah.)
Doesn't it even kinda make you want to do it? (Yeah!)
Sex is a dialect, Scorpio is fluent

Here's a little bit of odd irony (Huh?)
I couldn't care less about astrology (No?)
Never read my horoscope's a policy (No?)
Do my Scorpio's here all follow me? (Yeah!)
Have you ever got it on after terrible weather? (Yeah!)
Have you ever gotten married and then barely remember? (Yeah!)
Have you ever yelled out that you'll live forever? (Yeah!)
Is your birthday in the first two thirds of November? (Yeah!)

Don't you other signs go lose your minds and have an episode
Or I'll declare you Scorpio haters are all arachnophobes
If you try to challenge us, then surely you will truly fail
Get your fixtures between our pincers, poison you with our tails

Passionate, jealous, obsessive and intense
Magnetic and ambitious, completely self-obsessed
Narcissistic, secretive, dark and emotional
Brooding, stubborn, resentful, very very sexual!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers, and the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns, and Leos
All will fall and face their fate at the feet of the Scorpio!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers, and the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns, and Leos
All will fall and face their fate at the feet of the Scorpio!

Once upon a time the mighty hunter called Orion
Stood defiant on the Earth with sword and draped in skins of lions
And he cried that he could slaughter any monster that would fight him
So incited by this Hera sent a scorpion to find him

From a single sting that son of Poseidon did die and
He was made a constellation and placed high into the sky and
So was Scorpio but they were placed on opposite horizons
So one would never have to face the other one when rising

To this day the Scorpio is still the water sign and which
So many underestimated monsters died on finding
All the signs identify the body parts they are assigned
And so the Scorpio is the genitals which I don't find surprising

And I wonder if it's cuz we stung the crotch of old Orion
Symbolizing lust for Artemis Orion had inside him
Or perhaps we are the vanity that blinded and defied him
Either way we Scorpios are known both to entice and frighten

Everyone wants to hate a Scorpio
Everyone wants to date a Scorpio
Everyone wants to mate with a Scorpio!
 
I had an obsession with these guys a while ago. I've listened to their music so much that I can practically play their songs in my head to myself without actually listening to them. It was hard to pick just one, so I did a random shuffle game. This was the winner!

Utopia – Collide
Underneath the stars
Where I
Underneath the stars
Breathe in
Where you are
Unraveling

Sensation
And I know you're there
Under the surface
Utopia
Unraveling
Utopia
Breathe

Somewhere out there
Where I am
Somewhere out there
I know you feel the same
Where you are
Breathe in

Sensation
And I know you're there
Under the surface
Utopia unraveling
Utopia
Breathe

Where you are
You've been traveling
And you're searching
As I lay sleeping​

Five Finger Death Punch - Hell to Pay

Feels like I'm running in place
A past I can't erase
I'm breaking, breaking apart (I know they're after me)
It's like I'm fading each day
They took it all away
Left nothing, nothing but scars (they make it hard to breathe)

Don't know where it went wrong
But my love for this is gone

I tried to numb the pain
But I can't get away
Hiding behind this disguise
The games I had to play
The hell I had to pay
Everything comes with a price

You're waiting for me to fail
That ship will never sail
Keep pulling and pushing me down (but I just won't let go)
I know you wish I was dead
I'm stuck inside your head
I'm taking and breaking your crown (I'm better left alone)

Don't know where it went wrong
But my love for this is gone

I tried to numb the pain
But I can't get away
Hiding behind this disguise
The games I had to play
The hell I had to pay
Everything comes with a price

I tried to numb the pain
But I can't get away
Hiding behind this disguise
The games I had to play
The hell I had to pay
Everything comes with a price

So this is Razor - Cross me fool
Born a bastard
The baddest in the land
Never done
I take whatever I can

Live the age
Live it fast
Crash course riot
Kicked my teacher outta class

Cross Me Fool, I'll even up the score
What you'll get, revenge and a little more
You know I'm bad, I've done it all before
Stay clear of me, I'm rotten to the core

You know me
Don't like my style
Wait and see
It takes a little while

Play the fool
When it comes I go
Piece o'tail
When it's you I'll let you know

Hiding out
Never catch me in the act
Crime is time
I've done some, won't go back

Remember me
When deeds are done
When I'm back
I'm back for a bit of fun

I LOVE BABYMETAL!! lol.. I would really like to see them live. yes I understand it is gimmicky. But it is so upbeat you can't be sad while listening to Babymetal and also if you understand how the Japanese music industry works they are not as odd as you think. I know when they first showed up on TV here American audiences acted like space aliens have landed but it still sticks to the same formula that exists in most "J-pop" acts.
 
I can't hate Babymetal as much as I want to. Their songs just....get stuck in your goddamn head.



Blues Saraceno - The River
[Chorus]
Oh my lord
Take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river

[Verse 1]
Oh my lord
Take this hand
Save me from the gallows
Hear this news
Bear my gold
Lay me in the shallows
Evil comes if you call my name
The wicked, they shall rise
The river sand's gonna wash me clean
The river don't run dry

[Verse 2]
Oh my lord
Hear my woe
There's blood upon the valley
Deliver me from worry
The devils hand is gonna strike me down
Gut me to my grave
The river's song is gonna pull me through
The river she can safe

[Chorus]
Oh my lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the -

[Bridge: Children]
Oh my lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
Oh my lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
Oh my lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom

[Chorus: Singer & Children]
Oh my lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river

[Outro: Singer & Children]
Oh my lord take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river
