A Song a Day

[Reverend45]

@ghosTea: Started playing music when I was 5 or 6 years old. 3 years of playing the goddamn recorder to get the basics down, and then trumpet/cornett. played in a marching band, and in a few smaller folk groups. Was fun....until I was around 16. My dad was the Chairman of our music club, and politics and assholes are everywhere. that kinda destoryed my motivation. well, that and my bad lungs...couldn't play anymore. Tried guitar, suck at it. Tried bass, was ok, but I mostly play for myself now, and bass solo is not much fun. I also always carry a blues harp with me. I'm shit at it, but I'm having fun^^ The 5 string banjo is said to be one of the easiest instruments to learn...and I love the sound. So yeah, giving that a shot. Without music I just can't be.

that's the kind of stuff and band I played in: (not mine but similar)

There’s nothing left of this day
There’s nothing left of this town
Our time has ceased with such sorrow
There’s no one left here to mourn
There’s nothing left of this day

Outside there cry wolves in the night
Dark with their howls all around
We’ll just lie here clothed in our sheepskin
Trying to pretend there’s no harm

It’s a cold twist confined
To the courage of a catalytic heart and mind
Over God’s cry and goat’s god’s goodbye
And I am bloodying the garment
Of a ghost inside
Making damn sure the body doesn’t die

Brotin – Eivør (English lyrics posted)

Broken
You are broken, split into two
Your wings are cut, can´t find purpose in anything
You feel trapped, bound in shackles

How do you unbind this knot in your soul
How do you break out between the narrow bars
Into an open world that can hold you

Dancing wildly in the black night
Don´t know the morning yet
Our broken hearts
Take one step at a time

I know that you are not unlike me
Under covering skin
Woven from the same fabric
Longing for happiness just like me

Dancing wildly in the red night
Don´t know the morning yet
Fighting against the current
Taking one step at a time

Dancing wildly in the red night
Can´t see the sun yet
We never were like them
We take one step at a time​

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tri-tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers

When you're a pirouetting, highkicking, thigh slapping cruiser
When you're a hip grinding, spellbinding, clean cut seducer
You have to be careful so people take note
I take it serious, but I still like a joke

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tri-tried
But still you say that I lied
Nobody's perfect
So leave me if you object

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tri-tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect
So leave me if you object

Music helps me to get through the day. Without I cant function . Silence can be deafening and without music I would feel dead inside.

Music helps me to get through the day. Without I cant function . Silence can be deafening and without music I would feel dead inside.

I feel the same way @Claudia UK

 

[Silverpuddle]

I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
With your hands held in mine
I'd be sure, we'd not sever

My apple tree, my brightness
'Tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am stained by the weather

When my family thinks
That I'm safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head

Calling out to the air
With tears both hot and wild
Oh, I grieve for the girl
That I loved as a child

The priests and the friars
Behold me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you're dead

I would still be your shelter
From rain and from storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm

 

[Claudia UK]

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away

Such a great song. Great fan video from the film Himiko (1974)

She kissed me and I fell ill, though I tried to keep my distance
Believing it to be a sign
She is stranger, but not from the light part of this village
I can't understand just why she picked on me
So I try to figure it out in my feverish dreams

We went up to a warm room
It was too hot, too hot for anyone
I fell asleep and when I woke up
I was so confused
Drunk on the days
that passed
No, this could never last
Nothing does

She kissed me and I fell ill, though I tried to keep my distance
Believing it to be a sign
She is stranger, but not from the light part of this village
I can't understand just why she picked on me
Though I try to figure it out in my feverish dreams

We went up to a warm room
It was too hot, too hot for anyone
I fell asleep and when I woke up
I was so confused
Drunk on the days
that passed
No, this could never last
Nothing does

(Four, three, two, one)

Don't hide the treasures you've found in a hole in the ground
How 'bout the tree back your house where the owls go
Or in between the attic and the basement
Somewhere it's not dark, dark, dark, dark

Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you
Don't hide the pleasures you've found in your rolling around
Where all the leaves have been swept and the flowers grow
And don't go finding a replacement,
I promise I'll show you heart, heart, heart, heart

Finding replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you
And you won't make a sound or be nervous around piles of pictures
So old that that it feels like it is ending

(Four, three, two, one)

Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you

And you shout out loud
And you're bursting with pride
'Cause they don't let you talk
And your heart is finally mending

It's not too late now to change your mind
The grass gets greener when you get to the finish line

An attic in a basement
Attic in a basement

And you won't make a sound or be nervous around piles of pictures
So old that it feels like it is ending
It shouldn't feel like it is ending

"If You're Going Through Hell"

Well you know those times when you feel like
There's a sign there on your back
That says I don't mind if you kick me, seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You think it can't get worse than that
And then they do

You step off the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Used the needle of your compass, to sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie in a bottle of jim beam
And she lies to you
That's when you learn the truth

[Chorus]

If you're goin' through hell keep on going
Don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

I've been deep down in that darkness
I've been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons breathin' fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled I'd fall right into the trap
That they were layin'

But the good news is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holdin' out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one's that you've been draggin' for so long
You're on your knees might as well be prayin'
Guess what I'm sayin'

[Chorus]

If you're goin' through hell keep on going
Don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah if you're goin' through hell keep on movin'
Face that fire walk right through it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

If you're goin' through hell keep on going
Don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah if you're goin' through hell keep on movin'
Face that fire walk right through it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

Krizz kaliko - bipolar

[Verse 1]
Here's the story
About a little boy who wasn't so bad
Smilin' but he feelin so sad
As a young lad he lost his dad
Momma didn't have much
But thankful for the things she had
Mom and sister was the parent and system
Tucked him in his bed at night (goodnight)
Then on his head she kissed him
The lights go out
Thats when it started yeah
Little Christopher became very scared
So then in his closet
Things began to move back and forth
That of course all in his head
Dont eat no sugar for bed
Whats the meaning
Waking up from a dream screaming
All the while singing that

[Hook]
I got an upside down
Smile and I
Got to wipe my frown
Dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar
An upside down
Smile and I
Got to wipe my frown
Dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar

[Verse 2]
Before he became a man
He almost lost his fam
Since his momma
Get in the school bathroom vomiting
Shakin up mood swings
Cool swings
From wakin up
Dude seems cool
But really breakin up
People go in and out of his life
He missed out on his wife
So he decides to go and grab a knife
And take himself to the other side of the sun
Cause if he stays here then more pain'll just come
Take him away from this
Cause he couldn't escape from this
Hed even pay to make this his last day
Then a ray from the sky (sky) shined on him
And god (god) smiled on him
Now the whole (whole) world gets to hear him sing that

[Hook]

Pull yourself up out it
Even if you doubt it
You can live without it
Just forget about it
I know you tried to drown you
Tried to get up out it
Head to the sky and shout it

I LOVE outsider music. Here is one of my favorites

Six point four equals makeout
I wouldn't kid you now
Six point four equals makeout
Why don't you come a little closer?
Six point four equals makeout
How old you say you were?
Sixteen!
Six point four equals makeout...equals makeout.

Hey, when I called you last night
You said you'd be at the party
When I got there, you weren't there
What are you tryin' to do to me, put me on a sick trip or something?
You know something?
I don't kiss on my first date
And I know you're aware of it
Hey baby, you're everything to me
But did I ever tell you

I got a real crush....on Karen

Six point four, now, equals makeout, equals makeout, equals makeout
Hey!
Six point four, oh God! equals makeout, equals makeout
Hey babe, ....I'll keep kissin you
Six point four, six point four, equals makeout, equals makeout
How old you say you were?
Sixteen!
Six point four, oh Jesus! six point four equals makeout, equals makeout, equals makeout
Six point four!

She's a real groovy girl
and she's got red lips
Yeah, she's a real groovy girl
and she's got red lips
She's a real groovy girl
and she's got red lips
Hey, she's a real, she's a real groovy girl
and she's got red lips
Can't you hear me God?
She's a real groovy girl
and she's got red lips
Man, she's so real!
Jesus, she's so real!
She's so real!
She's so real!
She's so real!
Oh...she's so real!
She's so real, god damn!
Uhm...she's so real!
She's so real!
She's real!
Can't you hear me?
Can't you hear me?
Can't you hear me, she's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!
She's real!

semi-good mood. and I just love this song.

 

[Snake on the Moon]

You are my angel
Come from way above to bring me love
Her eyes, she's on the dark side
Neutralize every man in sight

To love you, love you, love you

You are my angel
Come from way above

To love you, love you, love you
