ArtieQ - Columbus in a car
It's been a while but here it is! ArtieQ Columbus in a car always a surprise! Nice music with a touch of humour in the lyrics as always :). I have to admit I didn't know all the explorers mentioned in the song :P... I have to say I'm a Sat Nav fan. I have to use the navigator everytime I go to a new place else getting lost is guranteed. So I get the feeling when you feel like an explorer :P. Keep it up ArtieQ! Lyrics follow:
© Robin Thomas Quinn 2012
I got a Sat Nav car
Tells you right where you are
I’ve got my Sat Nav, I’m Lost & Found
Hey yeah, yeah yeah
Lost & found, I was lost & found—Yeah!
Lost & found, I was lost & found—Yeah!
In a dream, I’m The Man and I sail away
Master Commander of the sea from yesterday
Hey—I’m in my SUV; I’ll get where I wanna be
Just like Columbus, I’m lost & found
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Columbus in car
Walter Raleigh, Robert Scott, Tenzing Norgay, Jacques Cousteau, Francis Drake; I’d rather be
Columbus in a car
Marco Polo, Leif Ericson, Pedro Escobar, Livingstone; I’d rather be Columbus in a car
Neil Armstrong and Captain Cook, Juan Perez and James Of Ireland, Sven Hedin; I’d rather be Columbus in a car
Hannu The Navigator, Edmund Fanning, Ernest Shackleton, Edmund, Roald; I’d rather be Columbus in a car. Columbus in a Car. Yeah, yeah.
In a Sat Nav car, you’ll always know where you are. You can call me Christopher; Columbus in a 4x4

Archive - Controlling Crowds
Controlling Crowds by Archive. I posted this a while ago but it suits well for the elections and the political situation in my country Greece. People are starting to wake up but still..."I'm scared of the controlling crowds...here they come" Lyrics follow:
Why are you so scared and creeping around,
taking photographs all over town,
pictures in the dark that live in the light,
the world is my playground too and I’ll do what I like.
Why are you so scared of falling apart,
intimidating me for falling apart,
stay on your knees with your cross and don’t tell me you know so,
the world is my playground too and I refuse to follow.
Fly with me falling through the night,
fly with me falling out of sight, find me hold me
in your arms,
‘cos I’m scared of their controlling crowds.
keep me calm,
‘cos I’m scared of their controlling crowds.
here they come.
Why are we so obscure and creeping around,
hiding from mirrors and screens all over town,
objects disturbing blinding taking the peace in me,
the world is my kingdom too and I'll feel what I like in me.
Killing my heart I can’t face I can’t face no more, x8
the world is my playground too I can’t feel anymore.
Fly with me falling through the night, fly with me falling out of sight,
find me hold me
in your arms,
‘cos I’m scared of their controlling crowds.
keep me calm,
‘cos I’m scared of their controlling crowds.
here they come.
Why are we so cold and breaking apart,
caught up in this storm just breaking apart,
pictures and colours I loved but don’t see anymore,
the world is my playground too I don’t feel anymore,
why are you so adored,
‘cos I’m scared of their controlling crowds.
here they come.

We are under massive intimidation from the media...with parts of truth, parts of lies and inaccuracies, we are falling apart as a country and they fill us with fear that we will fall apart if we don't do what we "have to do"!
"Why are you so scared of falling apart,
intimidating me for falling apart,
stay on your knees with your cross and don’t tell me you know so,
the world is my playground too and I refuse to follow."
I could just go on for too long...but I'll let you enjoy this one. The world is my playground too...
P.S. You can find the old post here ;).

What a wonderful world - Louis Armstrong
What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong. A magnificent song sang by a magnificent voice. Some good old jazz for this time...I chose the video with Louis himself to see that he actually meant it! That wide smile in his face... Listening to that you can see the bright and beatiful side of life...no matter how bad things seem noone can deny that we live in wonderful world. Lyrics follow:
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you."
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah

Paradise - Coldplay
Paradise from Coldplay! Its rainy here today although summer approaches so it felt like Coldplay :P. Life is actually searching for ones personal paradise and nothing should stop us from doing that even when "Life goes on, it gets so heavy". The lyrics follow:
Oooooo
Oooooo
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Oooooo
Oooooo
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night the stormy night
Away she'd fly
And dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh
She dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh
La la la-la la-la
La la la-la la-la
La la la-la la-la
La la la
Still lying underneath the stormy skies
She said, oh
I know the sun's set to rise
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh
Oh-oh oooooo
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

Firestarter - Prodigy
Firestarter from the Prodigy!!! Superb sound...needs to be heard LOUD! It makes you wanna stand up and jump around! I also like the video very much...that twisted psycho face of Liam Howlett...he really is a firestarter. Here are the lyrics:
I'm the trouble starter,
Punkin' instigator.
I'm the fear addicted,
Danger illustrated.
I'm a firestarter,
Twisted firestarter,
You're a firestarter,
Twisted firestarter.
I'm a firestarter,
Twisted firestarter...
I'm the bitch you hated,
Filth infatuated,

Fell intoxicated.
I'm a firestarter,

You're a firestarter,
Twisted firestarter.
I'm the self-inflicted

Morcheeba - The Music that We Hear (Live)
A live version of the music that we hear from Morcheeba. I love the slow downtempo beat of the song...and the voice of Skye Edwards is simply magnificent it carries you away... Now that Spring is well established with the change of the time let Morcheeba take us to faraway places...
Lyrics follow:
Sometimes I get up feeling good but greed gets me down,
I try to think about the highs, the freedom we've found,
When the business in your life don't sit with your soul,
And they treat you like a child they need to control.
The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.
We're all gonna rise above all things that we lack,
Good vibrations that we make will come bouncing back.
The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.
The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.
The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.

My favourite part is:
"When the business in your life don't sit with your soul,
And they treat you like a child they need to control."
I get this feeling a lot lately...the boundaries that peopole and society force on you it really feels like "they treat me like a child they need to control". The coming of spring always makes me a bit uneasy :).
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.

Moby Mistake
Don't speak to me this way
Don't ever let me say
Don't leave me again
Don't leave me again
Oh you never felt this lost before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more (more)
Oh you never felt this lost before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more (more)
Don't hurt me this way
Don't touch me this way
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me this way
Don't touch me this way
Don't hurt me again
Don't hurt me again
Oh you never felt this lost before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more (more)
Oh you never felt this lost before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more (more)
Don't let me make
The same mistake again
Please don't let me make
The same mistake again
Please don't let me make
The same mistake again
Don't let me make
The same mistake again
Oh you never felt this lost before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more
Oh you never felt this lost before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more
Don't let me make
The same mistake again
Don't let me make
The same mistake again
Please don't let me make
The same mistake again
Please don't let me make
The same mistake again

It is so typical of human behavior to say "I'll never make the same mistake again" and then go ahead and do it anyway...and regret it again. I guess mistakes are part of the human nature a way to learn and evolve...

Radiohead - No suprises
No Surprises by Radiohead I love the kind of fairytale music in this song. The sound that resembles an old music box is used in a brilliant way! Lyrics follow:
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent, this is my final fit my final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please
Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here), no alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) please
Remember: lyrics are property of their owners.

A bit melancholic like most radiohead songs...well a bit more maybe it actually talks about suicide?!? or is it my idea??. Well anyway I think that is futile and it is no solution to any problem no matter how difficult life may seem.. My favourite line is:
"A job that slowly kills you bruises that won't heal"
You have expectations and dreams and then one day you realize you are just a part of the machine and you slowly loose your energy.
I also like "You look so tired, unhappy bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us" it suits the politicians of my country and many countries I guess well...I hope we'll make it out of this mess.

Muse - Feeling good
And here is a post for today for the new start. I'm feeling good...
Brilliant song there is also a version by Nina Simone (I think it's the original version) very good but I like the Muse version more. More near my music taste. The video is pretty good also and it kind of contradicts with the lyrics it looks like a nightmare. Lyrics follow:
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom in the trees, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonflies all out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies are all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace
When the day is done
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Yeah freedom is my life
And you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Ooooh
(Feeling good)

Addictive
A brilliant song from faithless. It's the soundtrack of the movie cruel intentions...I didn't like the movie much though. The lyrics follow:
Change around the words that you say,
To suit me fine.
Predictable behavior,
I crave ya.
I'm driven.
You're my only living saviour.
Sometimes I hate ya,
But I'm whipped.
Being deadhead down to the crypt.
Retricted like a conscript,
You love to bully.
I place the blame with you,
Fully.
Change around the words that you say,
To suit me fine.
Make them mine.
Don't panic.
There's only we two left on the planet.
I can explain.
I know it happened again,
It's manic.
I'm standing in the flame
Trying to fan it.
You don't know what you've got till it's gone.
And by the edge of the night
Where nobody belongs, through this junk,
And that's where you come.
Change around the words that you say,
To suit me fine.
Make them mine.
Listen to the voice in your head,
It makes no sense.
Take a rest... (echo)
I'm addicted.
I have a demon for a wife.
He delights in your pretty face and he hates my life.
Takes notes on how to provoke past grief.
Makes my teeth decay with the last of my self-belief.
Feed all day from underneath
Like a thief.
I'm left weak
Barely able to speak.
I seek nothing but constant supply.
I can read every look in your eyes.
I live with a lie.
Baby, our love will never die
Or, maybe it's the last time I make you cry.
Make my appeal like the condemned.
Let's go away for the weekend.
Your life I will steal and descend with it into the pit.
I'm addicted..
Change around the words that you say,
To suit me fine.
I'm addicted..
Listen to the voice in your head,
It makes no sense.
Take a rest... (echo)
I'm addicted.. (5x) (4th time from Chorus)
I have a little problem.
I have a demon for a wife.
He delights in your pretty face and he hates my life.
Takes notes on how to provoke past grief.
Makes my teeth decay with the last of my self-belief.
Change around the words that you say,
To suit me fine.
Make them mine.
I'm addicted.. (7x, also at background of next part)
Listen to the voice in your head,
It makes no sense.
Take a rest... (echo)
My favourite part is this:
"Change around the words that you say,
To suit me fine.
Make them mine.
Listen to the voice in your head,
It makes no sense.
Take a rest..."
Sometimes people find themselves stuck in relationships where love and hate is interchangeable...The lyrics are so powerfull it gives me the goozebumps every time I hear it. It's really sad when you get in fights and try to talk things over and you get stuck in an infinite loop changing the meaning of each other's words again and again till you close to yourself and start realizing that nobody in the world can understand you...To take it a bit further beyond relationships this line could also refer to propaganda. Change around the words that you say to suit me fine....make then mine....till your minds get tired and fall asleep and take whatever is served to you. Brilliant song thumbs up...I hope I'll listen to it live sometime. Enjoy!

Sane
Sane by Archive! It's been a while since I posted....and I'm really sorry...It's been a hell of a couple weeks though in a bad way mainly...too much pressure from work, too many emotions, too many things to do for others....too much bad luck. I'm like a ghost...I feel like I'm living the life of another person. It's been an insane period the last few weeks but "step by step I'm gonna make myself feel sane again". Hope you enjoy that!

Laid
Laid by James! Makes you wanna smile and dance right??? ;) What a great dysfunctional relationship it talks about :P. Lyrics follow:
This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she’s on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you’re like a disease without any cure
She said I’m so obsessed that I’m becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you’re so pretty
Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You’re driving me crazy, when are you coming home
James will be performing live around I hope I won't miss it :)! " The neighbours complain about the noises above" ;)! Enjoy!

Smash
Smash by The Offspring! Also from the same album as the previous post "Self Esteem". A revolutionary song I used to hear when I was younger. You can find the lyrics here. Its a longer version just like the one that came out at the original disc it has a bonus in the last minutes...an instrumental version of "Come Out and Play". Sometimes I feel like I wanna scream that: "I just want to be who I want to be Guess that's hard for others to see"! Simple lines but soooo true...I really like the verse:
I'm not a trendy asshole
I Do what I want
I Do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
Don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
Cause I am alive
Big words of course...I wish I could do whatever I wanted but either we like it or not we do conform to some of societies rules. I really get that feeling though when I'm in a "trendy place" where you see different copies of persons and behaviours. It used to annoy me in the past...now it makes me laugh how some people's minds can be so narrow. Too much poison for tonight :P. "SMASH"!! Enjoy!

Why does my heart feel so bad
Why does my heart feel so bad by Moby. No words for that...just amazing...I love the sound of this song...lyrics simple and to the point ;)...for the times you just feel sad without any specific reason. I guess it's just the accumulation of pressure and mistakes from your everyday life triggered by a small insignificant event...Enjoy!

Natural Blues

Self Esteem
Self Esteem from the Offspring from the album Smash! To all those out there with low self esteem :P! Don't be afraid to do what you want! You can find the lyrics at the youtube video. The song is about a guy thats run over by a girl...of course it works the other way also ;). But what do I know? "I'm just a sucker with no self esteem". It's true though that "the more you suffer the more it shows you really care" ;). Enjoy!

All these things that I've done
All these things that I've done by The Killers! I got stuck with this band after seeing them in a live concert while raining! Very nice memory...About the song, you can find the lyrics here. Ilove the last verse:
Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
The battle is lost with all these things that I've done...brilliant line...Sometimes we sacrifice too much to win something...it makes you wonder is it worth it? Does the end justifies the means? I think I'm like that..."I got soul but I'm not a slodier". Sorry for not posting and Happy Music Monday also! Enjoy!

Can't Stop
Can't Stop by Red Hot Chili Peppers! A really good one from that band! You can find the lyrics here...you should read them line by line I really like them...it looks like it jumps from one point to the other kind of like Song2 from Blur! I love the line "Can't stop the gods from engineering Feel no need for any interfering" ;). I also like the refrain:
The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Come on tell me when it's time to
...and then the line "I wonder what the wave meant"! Brilliant we struggle we strive we fight for a cause and many times we don't even know what it's all about! "Choose not a life of immitation"! Enjoy!

Enjoy the Ride
Enjoy the ride by Morcheeba. You can find the lyrics here. I liked the animated video a lot! The song is about what it says in the title...enjoy your life! I love the line "The day that you stop running Is the day that you arrive". It couldn't be more true...At some point of our lives we have to realise who we are and how we want to live and stop running to reach for something. Enjoy!
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride
;)
