Good choice - SotW [Week of 8-15-10]


Try things you never thought you would try... because once you have, a few fears are checked off the list. Go a little bit crazy. Not like psycho. It's healthy and a little fun to be afraid, but don't run from it. Don't eliminate it, face it. The world could always use a little more amore.


SotW 8/15:
We No Speak Americano Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup



Comme te po'
Comme te po'
Comme te po' capi chi te vo bene
Si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l'ammore sotto 'a luna
Come te vene 'capa de di: "I love you!?"

Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano

Pa pa l' americano

Fa l' americano

Pa pa l' americano
Fa fa l' americano

Whiskey soda e rockenroll
Whiskey soda e rockenroll
Whiskey soda e rockenroll

This day - SotW [Week of 8-8-10]


It's hard to know when to listen to people who love you. Sometimes you just need to do what you feel is the craziest, most right, insane thing ever. Look at what you want, and then take it. Clarity will follow.

The Man Pete Yorn




Walk me out by the water's edge
Oh, my brother
I'm coming down
We are young
We are almost there
And the man keeps coming 'round
I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
But here we are under moonlight
Words...cannot describe
Walk me out in the morning sun
Oh, sweet momma
I'm coming down
We are young
We are almost there
And the man keeps coming 'round
And I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
Here we are under moonlight
Words cannot describe

It's clear to me
You're like
The oceans and the light
Try and you'll remember what you used to be
It's clear to me this day will take you for a ride
A place that you once longed to be
And there it is...

I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
Here we are under the moonlight
Words...cannot.... words...

Walk me out
By the water's edge
Oh, my brother
I'm coming down
We were young
We are almost there
And the man keeps coming 'round
The man keeps coming

Try and tell me you don't know this - SotW [Week of 8-1-10]

We all know people who bring back ten million memories; they only have to say one thing. There are smells, moments, jokes, and definitely songs. Keep those people. Keep those songs. Keep those memories.

Angel Shaggy ft. Rayvon



Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shawty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Life is one big party when you’re still young
But who’s gonna have your back when it’s all done
It’s all good when you’re little, you have pure fun
Can’t be a fool, son, what about the long run

Looking back Shawty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shawty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

You’re a queen and so you should be treated
Though you never get the lovin’ that you needed
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Takin’ a beatin’, mission completed

Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shawty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Uh, uh
Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I’m your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)

Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, well, girl I surrender
(Said thanks for giving me your love)

Now life is one big party when you’re still young
And who’s gonna have your back when it’s all done
It’s all good when you’re little, you have pure fun
Can’t be a fool, son, what about the long run

Looking back Shawty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Girl, you’re my friend when I’m in need, lady

Flakey - SotW [Week of 7-25-10]

The amount of effort needed from each of us to steer what is going to happen anyway is insignificant. I learn this over again. Everyday. I always used to say expect the worst and hope for the best. I used to trick myself, and it worked. Lots works. But what is best? Don't fight it.


SotW 7/25:
Don't Fight It  The Panics



I have no other way
There is a price to pay
For what the man will say
That I was a million miles away
In a promise full of steam
It could take no vacant dream
To persuade me to believe

I think just don't fight it,
don't fight it, don't fight it
If you don't know what it is,
if you don't know what it is

I think just don't fight it,
don't fight it, don't fight it
If you don't know what it is,
if you don't know what it is


I left my heart in places
Forgot every one of their faces
And tried to navigate a broken path
Of which I may have helped create
In any incident, this is never no accident
To stand alone and
Let the silence make itself at home

Ah, give it up,
Those dirty tricks
No quick fix, can undo it
Ah, give it up
I won't resist
My answer's always this

I said don't fight it,
don't fight it, don't fight it
If you don't know what it is,
if you don't know what it is

Just don't fight it,
don't fight it, don't fight it
If you don't know what it is,
if you don't know what it is

Where has my light gone?
Where has my fight gone?
What keeps us burning when the fire is long gone?
When I can’t relate to that voice without a face
Should I be afraid, is it just a voice I did create?

Ah, give it up,
Those dirty tricks
No quick fix, can undo it
Ah, give it up
I won't resist
My answer's always this

I said don't fight it,
don't fight it, don't fight it
If you don't know what it is,
if you don't know what it is

Just don't fight it,
don't fight it, don't fight it
If you don't know what it is,
if you don't know what it is
