Song of the Day #200

This is one of those songs I wish I could truly believe the lyrics to...Happy 200...Woo.

fun.- "It Gets Better" from Some Nights

"It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile

If you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers

Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better"

Song of the Day #195

fun.- "Carry On" from Some Nights

"Whoa

My head is on fire

But my legs are fine

After all they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor

Close the door

Hold the phone

Show me how

No one’s ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are

We are shining stars

We are invincible

We are who we are

On our darkest day

When we’re miles away

Sun will come

We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on"

Song of the Day #193

fun.- "Some Nights" from Some Nights

"Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck

Some nights, I call it a draw

Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle

Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know anymore...

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?

Why don't we break the rules already?

I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white

I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight

She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am

Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...

Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end

Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again

Some nights, I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Washed my hands of that for this?

I miss my mom and dad for this?

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are

When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on

Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

Well, this is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again

Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands

This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go

Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"

When I look into my nephew's eyes...

Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...

Some terrible lies...ahhh...

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me

I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh..."

Song of the Day #160

fun.- "Why Am I The One" from Some Nights

"I got enough on my mind that when she pulls me by the hair

she hasn't much to hold onto

She keeping count on her hand One, Two, Three days

that I been sleeping on my side

I finished kissing my death, so now I head back up the steps

Thinking about where I've been, I mean the sun was never like this

I wanna feel with the season. I guess it makes sense

cause my lifes become as vapid as a night out in Los Angeles

and I just want to stay in bed, and hold you like I used to

You know that I am home, so darling if you love me

would you let me know...

Or go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff

For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff

She got enough on her mind

that she feel no sorrow

I let my fate fill the air

so now she rollin down her window

Never been one to hold on

but I need a last breath

so I ask if she remembers when

she used to come and visit me

we were fools to think that nothing could go wrong

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff

For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that im right where I belong

Why am I the one always packing all my stuff

I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much

I'll move back down to this western town

when they find me out make no mistake about it

I'll move back down to this western town

when they find me out make no mistake about it

I'll move back down to this western town...

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packin up my stuff

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packin up my stuff

For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that im right where I belong

Why am I the one always packin up my stuff

I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much

and I'll move back down..."

Song of the Day #129

fun.- "All Alone" from Some Nights

"I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir

I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you

She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep

Now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold

And I feel so all alone

No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke

How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I gave her to you

I thought you might appreciate

The way that she dances

The painted look upon her face

She must have come from the sun

I want to take her through the park

Where she'd tell me I'm all that she wants

If she could even talk

I feel so all alone

No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke

How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

And she sits on my shelf

It makes me think of you

The way she carries the things that remind me of who

We used to be before we became antiques

She's a lot like you

But when I hold her too tight, I know she'll break

She just takes some glue to stay

I feel so all alone

No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke

How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone

I feel so all alone"

Song of the Day #103

Another Fun. song. Ha. Really been listening to Some Nights a lot lately. A song I wish I could believe the lyrics to.

Fun.- "It Gets Better" from Some Nights

"What have we done, oh my god

What have we done, oh my god

This is really happening

You never looked so bored

Can you feel my fingernails?

They've never been so short

It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around

It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers

Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

I can taste your summer sweat

It's never been so warm

So can we kick the covers off?

They're always on

It's never been so warm

It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile

If you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers

Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

There's a fire in sky

Some snow on the ground

Not quite enough cigarettes

To calm me down

What have we done, oh my god

What have we done, oh my god

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

(This is really happening)

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better

(This is really happening)

It gets better, it gets better

It gets better, we'll get better"

I Guess Its All Alright

It's all about me. Haha, dat ego. But I mean it as in this blog post is all about me. The past couple of weeks streaming NBA 2K12, Uncharted, Luigi's Mansion, BioShock, etc, have been fantastic. Helping out LookAtMyChicken by hosting a Skype call during his 2 million view marathon. Awesome. Couple that with being able to watch Wrestlemania and a spectacular Monday Night Raw with my two best friends. Just amazing. But my own screwed up mind always keeps the bad in the back of my mind. The fact that while I'm having fun, or what I've deluded myself to think is fun, that I'm not happy. I'm still the giant asshole I've always been. I may sound excited, happy, joyus, etc. But in reality it's not true. Sure there are fleeting moments of genuine happiness, and I wanna thank ALL of you, reading this and not, for helping me have them. So in closing of this paragraph, vent, blog thingy, thanks for be there though the good, the bad, and the fake happiness. It really means a lot that people take the time to watch me stream or reading these emo blog posts of mine. I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright...

Fun.- "All Alright" from Some Nights

"...I've given everyone I know

a good reason to go.

I was surprised you stuck around

long enough to figure out...

...I've given everyone I know

a good reason to go.

But I came back with the belief

that everyone I love is gonna leave me...

And it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest,

but it's all alright.

Yeah, it's all alright.

I guess it's all alright.

I got nothing left inside of my chest,

but it's all alright."

Song of the Day #102

Fun.- "Carry On" from Some Nights

"Well I woke up to the sound of silence

the cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight

and I found you with a bottle of wine

your head in the curtains

and heart like the Fourth of July

You swore and said

"We are not

We are not shining stars"

This I know

I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that

I've closed enough windows

to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends

at the edge of the night

At a bar off 75

And we talked and talked

about how our parents will die

All our neighbours and wives

But I like to think

I can cheat it all

To make up for the times I've been cheated on

And it's nice to know

When I was left for dead

I was found and now I don't roam these streets

I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Whoa

My head is on fire

But my legs are fine

After all they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor

Close the door

Hold the phone

Show me how

No one’s ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are

We are shining stars

We are invincible

We are who we are

On our darkest day

When we’re miles away

Sun will come

We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on"

Fun. feat. Janelle Monae- "We Are Young" from Some Nights

Song of the Day #83

Fun. feat. Janelle Monae- "We Are Young (Acoustic)" from Some Nights

"Give me a second I,

I need to get my story straight

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State

My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar

My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and

I know I gave it to you months ago

I know you’re trying to forget

But between the drinks and subtle things

The holes in my apologies, you know

I’m trying hard to take it back

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I’ll carry you home

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

Now I know that I’m not

All that you got

I guess that I, I just thought

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart

But our friends are back

So let’s raise a cup

‘Cause I found someone to carry me home

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 (Nananananana)

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

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

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

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I’ll carry you home tonight"
