Hand In My Pocket by Alanis Morissette

I remember hearing this song on the radio while getting ready for school, 1st year high school as i remember it... it played for what seems to be a month along with the Bilanggo song by Rizal Underground. I have no idea this was a BIG song back then, placing Alanis Morissette among music elite. She would have other hits from the Jagged Little Pill album, but this is the only one placed in my videoke list :)

I'm broke but I'm happy I'm poor but I'm kind I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober I'm young and I'm underpaid I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless I'm here but I'm really gone I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be quite alright I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused I'm green but I'm wise I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing I'm brave but I'm chickenshit I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
And what it all boils down to Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet I've got one hand in my pocketAnd the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends Is that everything's just fine fine fine I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Nobody Like You by Limp Bizkit

YES! I listened to Limp Bizkit and is proud to say that i am and still is a fan of their work. 'Nobody Like You' is not one of their famous works but it stands out for me. Not because Jon Davis sings with Fred Durst on this, I like this because of the mood and the vibe it gave me, during my less happier times. It's an angry song i guess.

I'm convinced that you hate me
You like to see me cry
Its already a proven fact
And you wait and wait on me to die

Its all scary
I find it hard to confide
I will make you see it my way
You give
I take
You say
You want to be away from me

You make me
I've got a reason and I want to know
You take me down I've got a reason and I want to know

I'm convinced that you fucked me real good
You did (you did)
But I wont let her go
I've got my reasons
And I'm not leavin
So I'll wait on you to die

Please take this time for me to be unforgiven
I give my life to you
I lay my life on the line for you

You make me
I've got a reason and I want to know
You take me down I've got a reason and I want to know

I got no reason
I got no reason
I got no reason
I got no reason

New Deep by John Mayer

I was not actually a fan of John Mayer from the start. I remember my buddy of mine DRIS, talking about this guy as sort of the 'IN' thing happening in the world of rock. While I bought my Creed 'My Own Prison' CD, he was giddy about listening to John Mayer's 'Room for Squares' wearing a smirk in his face as he put down P450 in the record bar's counter. This song is from John Mayer's 2nd album (3rd if you're too much of a prick). What endeared me to John Mayer's music?!? Well this particular song was used in a video that was prepared for the 10th yr reunion of my elementary class. The INTRO's not bad either!

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my inner dwellings?
And look at the stars
Don't it remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
'This won't last longer than the rest of the day'
But you're wrong this time

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out
Deep will only bring you down
You know, I used to be the back porch poet with a book of rhymes
Always open knowing all the time I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'

Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

I actually never have been fond of the music genre they called 'blues' back then. My misconception is that blues is boring and sang by old black folks. Oh boy, I realized i was dead wrong when i encountered this song on TV. The music video featured a pretty girl (which actually got my attention). I really love the guitar solo on this one, and the tone is what i would like to emulate.

Night
falls, I'm alone
Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
You, turned and you ran,
Oh, slipped right from my hand

Hey
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack, Match on a fire
Cold on ice, its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black

Blind, oh,
now I see
truth, lies, and in between.
Wrong, can't be undone
Oh Slipped,
from the tip of your tongue

Hey
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack, Match on a fire
Cold on ice, its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black


Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack Match on a fire
Cold on ice, its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back,
Blue on black
oh yeah
Blue on Black

Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack, Match on a fire
Cold on ice its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream,
doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
Blue on black
blue on black
blue on black
blue on black
