Anything other than yes is no. Anything other than stay is go. Anything less than ‘I love you’ is lying.
John Mayer, “Friends, Lovers or Nothing”


part of the plan

You all know how I feel about lyrics and this song is no exception.  While the song itself is pretty and enjoyable to listen to, it’s the words that make it great.

Do you know that I set you apart?
Can I borrow some room in your heart?
If this is my moment then I want my moment with you
I can see it whenever you smile
That your soul is no longer on trial
The faint recognition that life is much more than you knew

And it’s true
You were meant to be free
And you’re through
Leaving dreams in your sleep
It’s all right
If you just now believe
The world is in your hand
It’s all part of the plan

What you do doesn’t have to be big
It’s okay if you just want to live
So pull up the covers my dear if you wanna sleep in.
It’s like that present tucked under the tree
Was always there but you just couldn’t see
And just cause you want it, it doesn’t mean that it’s a sin

And it’s true
You were meant to be free
And you’re through
Leaving dreams in your sleep
It’s all right
If you just now believe
The world is in your hand
It’s all part of the plan

Just take a moment and let it all in
Don’t stop dreaming
This is the part where the magic begins
Don’t stop dreaming (Repeat)

I could only find a video of a live performance on YouTube, so if you want to listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljrNl5TeatY

Enjoy!

Lilith Fair

I don’t know if you guys remember Lilith Fair from the late 90s (a music festival, founded by Sarah McLachlan and consisted solely of female solo artists and female-led bands) but it’s back! They’re scheduled to start touring again this year and some of the people included (so far) are: Sara Bareilles, Colbie Callait, Corinne Bailey Rae, Tegan and Sara, Sheryl Crow and tons more.

So even though no dates have been announced yet, I’m requesting that we think about going.  What do you guys think?

There’s something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you’re so worth the fight

My biggest fear will be the rescue of me
Strange how it turns out that way
Could you show me dear..
Something I’ve not seen?
Something infinitely interesting ..

“Echo” - Incubus

@hellochelly inspired me to post a music video related post!

I’m a new fan of Lady Gaga. Her music didn’t catch my attention until I saw this video and now I am OBSESSED. The piano version of Poker Face is good too! Enjoy!



You all know I’m a huge Sara Bareilles fan and I’ve heard her cover this song before (by herself and as a duet) but I really love this version.  She’s singing with John Torres, who’s got a pretty amazing voice as well.

Enjoy!

Still Here // The Perishers

When you’ve gone I’m still here
Waiting for your call
I’m waiting patiently
When you’ve fired your last shot
You’ll come back for me

So this world has left you bare
I’m sorry I no longer care
I wonder who’ll be there for you
when I’m not?
Take your problems
somewhere else
I could use some help myself
I wonder who’ll be there for you
when I’m not?

When you’ve gone I’m still here
I know you’ll come around
I’m waiting patiently
When you’ve tried all other ways
You’ll come back for me

Conspiracy // Paramore

please speak softly for they will hear us
and they’ll find out why we don’t trust them
speak up dear, cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don’t trust them

explain to me this conspiracy against me
and tell me how I’ve lost my power

where can I turn?
cause I need something more
surrounded by uncertainty, I’m so unsure
tell me why I feel so alone
cause I need to know to whom do I owe

explain to me this conspiracy against me
and tell me how I’ve lost my power

I thought that we’d make it
because you said that we’d make it through
and when all security fails
will you be there to help me through

explain to me this conspiracy against me
and tell me how I’ve lost my power
I’ve lost my power

First entry of the new blog! This time .. everyone please participate!

my mood lately

So originally I had planned to rant on here tonight but — (1) One Tree
Hill distracted me, (2) I sorta forgot and (3) now that I’ve
remembered, I really should be sleeping instead of typing this. But to
get an idea of my mood lately .. here are three songs currently on
repeat on my pink ipod.

Mozella - Light Years Away
It’s
how you wanted it to be / It’s like you played a joke on me / And I
lost a friend / In the end / And I think that I cried for days / But
now that seems light years away / And I’m never going back / To who I
was

The Fray - Over My Head
And
suddenly I become a part of your past / I’m becoming the part that
don’t last / I’m losing you and its effortless / Without a sound we
lose sight of the ground / In the throw around / Never thought that you
wanted to bring it down / I won’t let it go down till we torch it
ourselves

Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream
I
tell you how I feel, but you don’t care / I say tell me the truth, but
you don’t dare / You say love is a hell you cannot bare / And I say
gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care / I got my feet on
the ground and I don’t go to sleep to dream / You got your head in the
clouds and you’re not at all what you seem / This mind, this body, and
this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways / So don’t forget
what I told you, don’t come around, I got my own hell to raise.

I think you get the idea. Need quality time with theedorks ASAP.
