The Lyrics
Life, Love, Randomness, YouTube, depression, music May 19th, 2008
There’s no real music video for this song, but it’s the lyrics I want you to pay attention to anyways.
They Weren’t There, by Missy Higgins
You breathed infinity into my world
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
Then you said, “wait for me we’ll fly the wind,
We’ll grow old and you’ll be stronger without him” but oh,
Now my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I’ve drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong…
But they weren’t there beneath your stare,
And they weren’t stripped ’till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren’t taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away…
So I couldn’t say “no”.
You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could’ve past for all I knew.
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn’t say,
I wouldn’t say “no”. But they all said, “you’re too young to even know,
Just don’t let it grow and you’ll be stronger without him”
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I’ve drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong…
But they weren’t there beneath your stare,
And they weren’t stripped ’till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren’t taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away…
But they weren’t there beneath your stare,
And they weren’t stripped ’till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren’t taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away…
So I couldn’t say “no”.
Longing for Yesterday
Life, Love, YouTube, music March 20th, 2008
I think a lot of situations in life can be expressed in Beatles songs.
You know I heart Jason, but a lot of those performances were atrocious this week, yes including his. But Syesha just did a phenomenal job with “Yesterday.”
Her version is what I’m really connecting with right now- as I really wish I could go back to yesterday.
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
“Don’t Let me Down” is after the cut…

Why Don’t You Stay
Life, Love, YouTube, music February 11th, 2008
Sugarland- Stay
I’ve been sittin’ here stairin’ at the clock on the wall
And I’ve been layin’ here prayin’
Prayin’ she won’t call
It’s just another call from home and you’ll get it and be gone and I’ll be cryin’
And I’ll be beggin’ you baby
Beg you not to leave
But I’ll be left here waitin’
My Heart on my sleeve
Oh for the next time we’ll be here seems like a million years and I think I’m dyin’
What do I have to do to make you see
She can’t love you like me
Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of bein’ lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay
You keep tellin’ me baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don’t think that’s the truth
And I don’t like bein’ used and I’m tired of waitin’
It’s too much pain to have to bare
To love a man you have to share
Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of bein’ lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay
I can’t take it any longer but my will is gettin’ stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can’t waste another minute
After all that I’ve put in it
I’ve given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine
Why don’t you stay
I’m up off my knees
I’m so tired of bein’ lonely
You can’t give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don’t have to live this way
Baby why don’t you stay
You Are My Sweetest Downfall
Life, Love, YouTube, music February 11th, 2008
And I loved you first.
Regina Spektor- Samson
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go
I have to go
Your hair was long
When we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonderbread
And went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn’t mention us
And the Bible didn’t mention us
Not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin’ on our heads
But they’re just old light
They’re just old light
Your hair was long
When we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
He told me I was beautiful
And came into my bed
Oh, I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I’d done alright
And kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me till the morning light…
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonderbread
And went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn’t bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn’t destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn’t mention us
Not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Joshua Radin
YouTube, music January 14th, 2008
I just posted Joshua Radin’s song, “Star Mile,” on my DI Soundtrack page, but really, he just has one amazing song after another. And since nobody really visits my music vid blog, I feel compelled to share Joshua here with you all.
This one is titled “Closer.”
