The Black Keys

I love love love love this album.

Here's some lines:

I've been tried
And I've been tested
I was born tired
And I never got rested
Harder than Marble stone
I'm better off,

Better off left alone

Cause I'm not the one
No I'm not the one
You wanted it all
But I'll give you,

give you none
I'm not the one

"Spring Cleaning"

Spring Cleaning by DJFlavio

This song describes my whole weekend. Thanks Charlie :)

My Body is a Cage

One of my favorite songs of all time. Its the kind of song that gives you goosebumps and makes you think about yourself and your true inner freedom. Anyways I hope you guys like the music video as well. There's several different good videos people have added to the song, I just happen to really like this one. It goes well with the lyrics.

In a Lose, Lose Situation

Don’t be late
There’s no time to be afraid
There’s a way
To clean up the mess you’ve made

If I could tell the truth
or lie, would I
attempt the two at the same time
expect you to apologize for trying
to make me so uptight
Don’t say
"it’s just a game you play"
I can’t lose the taste

If you regulate how the blood is pumping
through the veins from my heart into my head
In time this blood supply
Will change me from red to white
Every thought that you know I’m thinking
may as well be the knife stuck in my back
This taxing fever makes me gravitate
To this place

This is still my life
Not yours to define

Anyone in their right mind would never let you inside
Anyone in their right mind

I've broken ties with the neighborhood,
I'm feeling like a bum in the city
waking only to take a drink
from an empty glass of nothing good
Then sinking like a stone in the sea
without the oxygen I need

Deciding as I wait for it to entertain
Careful not to breathe in
to breathe in, to breathe in
The right time and the right way to elevate
Careful not to breathe in
to breathe in, to breathe in

To breathe in the air
that so proudly puts to death
my own father's name
I remember when your hands started shaking
There's a better way
to clean up the mess you've been making

"Boston"

"Boston"

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed...

You said...
"You don't know me, you don't even care"
She said:

"You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains.."

Essential yet appealed,

Carry all your thoughts across an open field,
When flowers gaze at you,

They're not the only ones who cry when they see you

"You don't know me, you don't even care"

Oh yeah, She said:

"You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains.."

She said:

I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice..

Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Yeah Boston...
Where no one knows my name.

Lyrics + Photos = Love and Bliss

My mom had a great idea tonight that she things I should try. Its pure brilliance, so I think I will! Her idea was to take music (which I can't live without) and photography (which is my heart) and combine them by having a photo tell the story of some lyrics then post them together as art. Brilliant, I know! This is why I love her. haha But I've decided to take it a step further and create an entire photo shoot for a song. So the first song I think I'd like to do is "Gravity Rides Everything" by one of my all-time favorite bands, Modest Mouse.

Here's the lyrics:

Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I wanna go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place

I've made bold all the lyric bits I think I could use as parts of the shot since they're more like objects and actions than vague thoughts and comments. Gosh, I love Modest Mouse!

Lily Allen

You’d take me out shopping
And all we’d buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain us
The first time that you introduced me to your friends
And you could that tell I was nervous, so you held my hand
When I was feeling down, you’d make that face you do
There’s no-one in the world who could replace you
