One blog to rule them all |
Welcome to my blog! I would make some sort of clever introduction here, but most of us already know how blogs work; if you like me and like my writing, you might also enjoy my personal ramblings and assorted thoughts. If you don't like me, you're probably not reading this anyway. And if you're undecided in your opinion of me, I invite you to read as much or as little as you like and decide for yourself. Please read on and, if you find something worth discussing, don't be shy about submitting a comment! ![]() |
"Resurrection Jukebox" ![]() "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse (d. July 23, 2011) cover by Teddy Swims Full Lyrics ▼ Sometimes I look across the water I think all the things in my head I paint a picture I've missed the way you like making a fool out of me Why don't you come on over |
"Resurrection Jukebox" ![]() "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons covered by Lulu Antariksa Full Lyrics ▼ It's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top, don't hold back I don't ever wanna let you down I don't ever wanna leave this town 'Cause after all This city never sleeps at night I'm just the same as I was now you understand that I'm never changing who I am The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell This road never looked so lonely But I'm never changing who I am |
"Resurrection Jukebox" ![]() "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis Presley (d. August 16, 1977) remix by Junkie XL Full Lyrics ▼ Less conversation, more action aggravation ain't satisfaction more bite, less bark less fight, more spark open up your heart and satisfy me baby Close your eyes and drift through a summer breeze come along and put your mind at ease I'm tired of talking, let's start walking don't procrastinate, don't articulate it's getting late Come on, come on gettin' upset waitin' around satisfy me |

"Resurrection Jukebox" ![]() "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" by Beastie Boys (1978-2012) Full Lyrics ▼ Foot on the pedal, engine running hot My job's a damn good time City to city, I'm running touring the nation itchy trigger finger I do what I do best Ain't no faking your money I'm taking going coast to coast while you're working nine to five Another plane another train Another bottle in the brain Another girl another fight Another drive all night Tour around the world, rock around the clock Getting paid along the way, 'cause it's worth your while Got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack ice in the front, and Brooklyn in the back Waking up before I get to sleep 'cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week No sleep 'til Brooklyn |

"Resurrection Jukebox" ![]() "This Must Be The Place" by The Talking Heads (1975-1991, 1996-2002) Full Lyrics ▼ Home I feel numb, the less we say the better We go along, head wrong Standing here beside me, passing time Home I'm already there, this must be the place I can't tell, we drift in and out I'm just looking for a home, the same space for a minute or two Cover up the blank spots |
"Resurrection Jukebox" ![]() "Brokenhearted" by Karmin (2010-2017) Full Lyrics ▼ This is more than the jones in my bones, in a daze, I find it hard to sleep Five minutes, ten minutes, now it's been an hour I can't seem to let you go You leave me brokenhearted, that's right You leave me brokenhearted, tonight Such a crime, had me inside out I don't even think you know Anything you wanna do, everything you said, maybe I was wrong This kinda thing doesn't happen usually I'm on the opposite side of it, truthfully You leave me brokenhearted Leave me brokenhearted, tonight That's right I can't seem to let you go... |
"Barrel of Monkeys" ![]() "Need You Now" by Lady A from Need You Now (2009) This entry isn't so much about the song as the band and all of their misfortune with their name lately. For those of you who haven't heard, in light of all of the recent talk about racism and the ongoing legacy of slavery and the South, Lady Antebellum (and the Dixie Chicks) decided to change their band name to remove references to their Southern Roots. But while Dixie Chicks became "The Chicks" and both checked with and celebrated the fact that they share a name with a band from New Zealand, Lady Antebellum decided to change their name to "Lady A" without realizing that there was already a fairly prominent African American musician using that stage name... and then sued said musician over the name. I'm not sure that's really the best way to prove that you're sensitive to racial tensions, but sure. You do you, Lady A. ![]() |
"Barrel of Monkeys" ![]() "In My Head" by Jason DeRulo from Jason DeRulo (2010) This is one of the most played songs on my iTunes, thanks in large part to the fact that I put it on repeat and then accidentally left it on all night. So while I can't claim that it's one of my favorite songs in the world, I do enjoy it from time to time. But probably not as much as my iTunes listening library would imply, which has it literally with hundreds and hundreds of plays. So I guess you could say this was definitely my "most listened to" track of 2010. ![]() |
