A Day In Music #5

"Tonight

We are young

So let’s set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight

We are young

So let’s set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight

Carry me home tonight

Carry me home tonight

Carry me home tonight

The moon is on my side

I have no reason to run

So will someone come and carry me home tonight

The angels never arrived

But I can hear the choir

So will someone come and carry me home"

"This world is such a fucked up place

My mind's such a fucked up shape

Everything down here sucks

Maybe what's up there is great

We all gotta go one day

I just wanna cut to the chase

I wanna stop these nightmares

I just wanna touch her face

All you see is all my feats (feets)

All you see is all my flaws

All I hear is all my demons

Even through your applause

All you see is all my flights

Well all I see is all my falls

All you see is all my rights

All I see is all my wrongs

Door, keep telling me to fight

Gun on my table telling me to come home

Telling me to to put him inside my hand

Then put it up right next to my dome

Door keep telling me to find a reason

Anything to keep me from squeezing

Simplest things, yea you really like summer

You really like music, you really like reading love

I can't win if it's me against me

One of us ain't gonna survive

And my heart been broke for a while

Your's been the one keepin' me alive

Your's been the one keepin' me alive

Your's been the one keepin' me alive"

Song of the Day #80

Thanks Claire haha >.<

Hinder- "Lips of an Angel" from Extreme Behavior

Song of the Day #79

Third time I've used this song of my blog. I love the lyrics in this so much, the chorus is amazing and the beat is incredible.

Childish Gambino- "Heartbeat" from Camp

"[Hook x2]

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

[Verse 1]

I know what your boy like

Skinny tie and a cuff tight

He go and make breakfast

You walk around naked

I might just text you

Turn your phone over, when it's all over

No settling down, my text go to your screen

You know better than that

I come around when you least expect me

I'm sitting at the bar when your glass is empty

You thinking that this song's coming on to tempt me

I need to be alone like the way you left me

You start calling, you start crying

I come over, I'm inside you

I can't find you

The girl that I once had

But the sex that we have isn't half bad

The text say that "It's not fair"

That's code for "He's not here"

And I'm-a flirt with this new girl

And I'm-a call if it don't work

So we fuck till we come to conclusions

All the things that we thought we was losing

I'm ghost and you know this

That's why we broke up in the first place

Cause

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]

It's late night Thursday

I know that you heard me

But you don't want the same thing

Well two can play that game

So I'm chilling with my girlfriend

But she not my real girlfriend

She got a key to my place but

She's not my real girlfriend

Stupid, so dummy

Say the wrong thing and wrong girls come runnin'

I'm paranoid that these girls want something from me

And it's hard to make a dime go one hundred

And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate

She on time, but she late for they first date

Cause he went and tried out all new condoms

Slipped off in a threesome, good problems?

Right? Wrong

Askin' him if she gonna play games

We the super smash brothers, but none of them you

I miss the sex when you kiss whenever you through

Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two

I was wrong, but would you have listened to you?

Uh, you were crazy

I got a heart, but the artichoke

Is the only thing girls want when you in that smoke and light

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3]

So we're done? This the real shit?

We used to hold hands like field trips

I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick

I read his post on your wall and I feel sick

He ain't cool, he ball and all that

But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps

You couldn't wait to date

I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate

I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you ate

You know that I’m the best when I’m a-fake-tionate

I'm the best that you had, face it

J and Keyshia are related: racist

I give you money, then you burn me, then you made off

She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off

I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?"

That we dated like raps about Bin Laden

Ayo, fuck this

Are we dating? Are we fucking?

Are we best friends? Are we something in between that?

I wish we never fucked, and I mean that

But not really, you say the nastiest shit in bed and it’s fuckin’ awesome"

Song of the Day #73

The last three days have been Binding of Isaac filled. I'm working on getting all the achievements before the expansion comes out. It's no secret that I love this game either. I gave it my #2 game of 2011 and have sunk almost 80 hours into this fantastic game. The song isn't really a song, more of an opening. But whatever, it's what you all get.

The Binding of Isaac Opening

Song of the Day #72

"What's a God to a non-believer, who don't believe in anything?

Will he make it out alive, alright alright, no church in the wild"

Kanye West & Jay-Z feat. Frank Ocean- "No Church in the Wild" from Watch The Throne

Song of the Day #71

Don't judge. Popped on the radio. I dig Taylor Swift. I like her voice and think she's adorable. This, I guess, would be one of her "classics."

Taylor Swift- "Teardrops On My Guitar" from Taylor Swift

"The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star"

"The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart

...the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do"

Hollywood Undead- "Everywhere I Go" from Swan Songs

The Secret World of Arrietty [A Fat Jesus Movie Review]

Oh man, Studio Ghibli. I missed out on Ponyo in theaters, so I knew I was going to see this right away. They're widely considered one of the best animated movie companies in the world. And rightfully so. The aforementioned Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are all wonderful films which should been seen by all in my opinion. And The Secret World of Arrietty is no different. It follows the story of, you guessed it, Arrietty (Mendler) and her mother and father, Homily and Pod (Pohler and Arnett). They are tiny people who live under the floorboards of a house in Tokyo, avoiding contact with humans ("Beings" as they call them). They only venture out when they need to borrow a necessity. Such as a cube of sugar or a tissue. One day a kid, Shawn (Henrie), arrives at the house because his parents want him to have a bit of rest from the city life. He sees Arrietty and the story of "The Borrowers" begins. 

First off, this is Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, so I almost don't even need to say it but I do. The art in this movie is FANTASTIC. The colors are vibrant from the opening scene, the characters are drawn so well and the environment (especially for the little people scenes) are just fun to watch. The story is also very good. Obviously cause Miyazaki part-did the screenplay. Haha. But I've never read The Borrowers, but if I were a book reader I go back for this. The characters, both large and small, were easy to identify with and I felt myself drawn to Shawn's character for some reason. Like there was this thought connection we both share. The English voice acting was done well too. Bridgit Mendler and David Henrie were very good as Arrietty and Shawn. Pohler and Arnett were also solid as Arrietty's parents. Even Carol Burnett had me and the audience chuckling at some parts. But if I were to have a gripe with this film, it's that Arnett didn't seem like he was into the voice over. But as the movie wore on, he filled the dad role quite nicely. Another thing, which I have to praise Disney for, is leaving this movie alone. They didn't add or take anything away. They just facilitated the dubbing in English and produced and made available to everyone in the US this wonderful film. One last thing I like to mention, the movie never felt long. It started and I was into it the whole time, not caring about how long I'd been there or checking my phone to see what time it was. I love when a movie can captivate me, yet keep me from being aware of the time or how long its been on. All in all, at least for me, The Secret World of Arrietty was a damn near perfect movie. Great adapted story, great characters and great animation. What more could you want out of a movie experience?

"My heart is stronger now, because you're in it."

Kanye West feat. Mos Def and Al Be Back- "Good Night" from Graduation

Song of the Day #66

Gary Jules- "Mad World"

Song of the Day #65

This is from Kno's (of Cunninlynguists) first solo album. They're great as a group and Kno is one of the best producers in hip-hop. Death is Silent is a fantastic album and this is my favorite track off of it. Also Kno samples a Kanye West song (from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) months before it even came out AND a quote from the movie Dinner For Schmucks. I just love this song from beginning to end.

Kno- "Come Die With Me (La Petite Mort)" from Death is Silent

"If we die in each others arms

Still get laid in the afterlife"

Song of the Day #64

Kanye West- "Addiction" from Late Registration

"What's your addiction? Is it money? Is it girls? Is it weed?

I've been afflicted by not one, not two, but all three

She's got the same thing, about me, but more, about us

She's coming over, so I guess, that means, I'm on drugs

Just let me peek now, I mean damn, I'm so curious

She's got a lover, so the lies, and the lust, is a rush

Time's of the essence, I need, you to be, spontaneous

Roll up the doge, henny and c-c-c-cola, then I'm co-coming over

Cuz its ne-never over

Why everything that's supposed to bad make me feel so good?

Everything they told me not to is exactly what I would

Man I tried to stop man I tried the best I could

But (You make me smile)"

A Day In Music #4

Not much listening to music today, but I did drive a bit. And rather than just choose one of these songs as my song of the day I'm doing this. I popped in Kanye West & Jay-Z's Watch the Throne as I ran to get dinner for me and mom. Love the record and love all these songs to death.
