Would? by Alice in Chains

I remember encountering this song on a lazy saturday MTV show. They were showing a sort of 'best of mtv unplugged', a series of songs from the program. I was expecting them to show Pearl Jam's or Nirvana's as they were the guys i was more familiar with who did the show ( and Oasis too!) I didn't realized that i would be encountering another band from Seattle. Alice in Chains.



Layne Staley's stare and half scream made me realize that this AIC is not just a Grunge Band. IT WAS THE GRUNGE BAND!!


All the rock music that i listen to were the ones that my older brother fed to me! Once i got the opportunity, I asked my Mom to buy me a cassette of the Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged. When my brother heard me listening to this one, he was 'jealous' that he had not thought of listening to this band. I one upped him that time. A few years went when we were already collecting CDs, he brought home the same album on CD. This is one instance when it was I feeding him the music, instead of him feeding it to me. RIP Layne!

Know Me Broken By My Master Teach
Thee On Child Of Love Hereafter

Into The Flood Again
Same Old Trip It Was Back Then
So I Made A Big Mistake
Try To See It Once My Way

Drifting Body Its Sole Desertion
Flying Not Yet Quite The Notion

Am I Wrong?
Have I Run Too Far To Get Home?
Am I Gone?
And Left You Here Alone
If I Would Could You?

Shellshock by New Order

I typed this entry after listening to this song. WOW! i never really thought i'd enjoy a new wave song like this song has made me. It could be because of the overall sound (i really like the way a synth sounds), it sounds too complicated at times. Cool lyrics too, i can really appreciate the chorus!

That's the way - Shellshock

Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating



You call me on the phone, you left me all alone
All I get from you is shellshock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shellshock


I'd tell the world and save my soul
But rain falls down and I feel cold
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart

But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hold you've had on me
By causing the changes that you never see

Hold on! It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating


When we walk through open doorways,
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find our peace of mind
And life becomes a life of crime

And that's the day I call your name
I came to you, I called in vain
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start

Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating



I've been good and I've been bad
But common sense I've never had
No matter how I try and try,
I hide the truth behind a lie

But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start

Hold on!It's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by George Harrison

George Harrison was never my favorite Beatle. As a kid that was brought up with a fascination with the Beatles ( my dad avidly listened to them), it was always about John and Paul, never about George and Ringo ( Ringo even had more clout as he is a drummer and kids love to see guys bang on drums). When I was trying to learn the guitar, i learned many things about this man. He wrote Something, which is said to be one of the best loved songs out there.

In this song, George plays a ukulele which, I read on a guitar magazine , he is a master of. Brainwashed also is his last album, im not sure though if this was released posthumously.

I don't want you
But I hate to lose you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

I forgive you
Cos I can't forget you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

I want to cross you off my list
But when you come knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more

I should hate you
But I guess I love you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea


I want to cross you off my list
But when you come knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more


I should hate you
But I guess I love you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea


You've got me in between
The devil and the deep (The devil and the deep)
The devil and the deep blue sea
