Together by The Fray

I decided to play The Fray's Together EP and listened to the first track. Fortunately I discovered my love for this song. I like how the bass is played, with it's rests and short attacks. I'm not sure if that's a guitar that plays in the intro, but the this features some neat guitar playing as well. I also like how he sings the 2nd "We go together", which I've italicized in the lyrics below.


As the spring in its bloom
The summer stars and the moon
Come and dance with me my love
And we will be...

One, we go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you. We go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you.

As the leaves and the trees
The oceans celebrate you and me
We will live to see many days
And we will dream, we'll dream.

We go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you. We go together,
I promise forever,
everyday together,
I live with you.

Polly by Nirvana

I just finished reading a Kurt Cobain bio by Charles Cross entitled Heavier than Heaven. Also with news about Nevermind's 20th Anniversary, my appreciation for Cobain and his songs have increased alot. I like the sound of the guitar on this song, as well as the multi-layered vocals. It's amazing how something beautiful can come out of something that's really terrible, as the song was inspired a news article about a girl that was raped and tortured by a blow torch. In Charles Cross's book he highlights the lyric "It amazes me, the will of instinct"... and somehow I just can't get that off my head.


Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself


Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She ask me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some my help
Please myself
I've got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some my help
Please myself

Looking' Out Forever by Paul Westerberg

Paul Westerberg is one of my favorite song writers. I just like how he catches a feeling and translates it to a song that I can relate to. This one especially. There's just a ball of energy that waits to be released.

The one who loves you most
Is giving up the ghost
And taking to the stage
Like a stone on a grave
Yeah I think of her
Every once in awhile
Every once in awhile
Forever
I'm lookin' out forever now
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now yeah
I'm lookin' out forever now
I'm lookin' out forever now
I'm lookin' out forever now yeah
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now yeah
I'm lookin' out forever now
I love you now forever now yeah

Ain't nothing else I can say
Nothin' left to give her
Abandon the wind
I'm a bend in the river
Standing by the bank
They're calling me across
Think of me sometimes
When the river flows because
I'm lookin' out forever now
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now yeah
God I know I'm going home
God I don't belong
Taste me in his kisses
Waste me in my prime
Replace me with another
Think of me some time

Stand by Me by Oasis

I was just listening to the Be Here Now album on the way to work. Hearing this song and the subsequent song from the album just made me feel alive today. There are some things that you take for granted, hearing the nuances in the vocal stylings of Liam and Noel Gallagher, how they harmonize and all... such an amazing thing. Reminds me of why I became an Oasis fan in the first place...


Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn

So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
The things we find behind the door

So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows
Yeah nobody knows the way it's gonna be

If your leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home

So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows
Yeah nobody knows the way it's gonna be

The way it's gonna be, yeah
Maybe I can see, yeah
But don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
Nobody knows
Yeah God only knows the way it's gonna be

Strip My Mind by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This song comes from the Jupiter disc of the Stadium Arcadium double album. The main reason I like this song was the backing vocals applied (the one singing "ohhhh", "yeahhhh") by, according to information from the internet, RCHP guitarist John Frusciante. I would have bet that it was Zakk Wylde singing that parts. But then again I could be wrong and I wouldn't want to lose money over a silly bet.

Arthur J. did,
indicate
d
The boulevard will never be
So full of life and love again - hey
(Aw, say goodbye to your boots, man)

Hot as Hades,
early eighties

Sing another song
Make me feel like I'm in love again - hey
(You gotta lose to win)

Oh yeah
Oh
Please don't strip my mind
Leave something behind
Please don't strip my mind


All in favor sign the waiver
Bloody Carolina
Won't you take another look inside - hey

El Dorado won the lotto
All the cash and not a clue
But now you know what I've been through - hey

Oh yeah
Oh
Please don't strip my mind

Please don't strip my mind

Dive by Nirvana

I don't know what made me like this song. It could be because I was in a recent Nirvana-appreciation binge in alignment with Nevermind's 20th anniversary. It's most likely the gritty-dirty feel of the song. And oh yeah, Kurt singing "Pick Me, Pick Me" as if he's taunting the person he's talking to.




Uhg.Pick Me, Pick me, yeahLet a long, low signalAt ease, at least, yeahEveryone is hollow

In Bloom by Butch Walker and the Black Widows

I just love this version by Butch Walker and his band. Why? Because for me, I've gotten used to hearing the original version that the lyrics doesn't already come across to me. Today, I find the genius in Cobain's lyrics. Short of saying that Cobain's GOD! It also helps that Butch Walker is one of my favorite artists.





Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

And he's the one who likes
All our pretty songs and he
Likes to sing along and he
Likes to shoot his gun but he
Don't know what it means
He don't know what it means
He don't know what it means
And I say aahh

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

And he's the one who likes
All our pretty songs and he
Likes to sing along and he
Likes to shoot his gun but he
Don't know what it means
He don't know what it means
He don't know what it means
And I say aahh

Anino by Wolfgang

Saw Wolfgang in their concert in the still broken and down trodden Metropolitan Theater in Manila with Astrud. It was a fun night. The takeaway from that concert is better appreciation of this song, which was apparently written by Mon Legazpi and not Basti Artadi. They also said that the Tagalog songs from Serve from Silence is actually a sort of rock opera, similar to a concept album, which if I remember correctly they executed in Wurm. The song, by it's own merit, stands the test of time. My favorite line is the one where Basti sings "Kung alam ko lang kung papaano, Kung alam ko lang..."


Lumpong naglalakad
Katabi niya'y haring nakahubad
Binging nakikinig
Sa iyak ng piping mayroong tinig

Alisin ang yong maskara
at idilat ang mga mata
Ang isipang tangan ay buksan
sa walang kabuluhan

Iligtas nyo ako sa sarili kong anino
Daan ay hanapin palabas sa salamin
Kay dami daming hugis ng salamin

Nakatitig na bulag
sa mga haliging nabuwag
Baliw na sumasayaw
sa liwanag siya'y ikaw

At ang diwa ko'y litong lito
ito'y balatkayo
Ang nakikita'y kabaliktaran
Hindi ang kinagisnan

Iligtas nyo ako sa sarili kong anino
Daan ay hanapin palabas sa salamin
Tangay sa agos ng mundong puro abo
Hindi mundong ito
Bato ay abutin
at basagin ang salamin
Pirapirasong bubog ng salamin

Kung alam ko lang kung papaano
Kung alam ko lang

Iligtas nyo ako sa sarili kong anino
Daan ay hanapin palabas sa salamin
Tangay sa agos ng mundong puro abo
Hindi mundong ito
Bato ay abutin
at basagin ang salamin
Pirapirasong bubog ng salamin

Courage and Control by Brandon Boyd

For some reason, I was reminded by the melody of this song. Quite possibly because I saw some tweets with regards to the upcoming Incubus concert here in Manila. I don't remember the words exactly, but somehow I just feel that I needed to listen to this song today. I initially thought it was an Incubus song,trying to go through my iPod for this. Since it's an unusual song, I was even thinking it may have come from the Monuments and Moments album.


The boulevard is bustlin’
A vast and wrinkled muslin
is pulled over my eyes and
I know I don’t belong

There is a noise inside of me
That bustles asymmetrically
Oh how have I to balance
Those sounds into a song?

It’s time to let your hair down
and give yourself permission
It takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

The city’s an analogy
for things building inside of me
There’s chaos in this discord,
but still we move along

The chaos sings of symmetry
and all her words are poetry
That’s the kind of city
which I want to belong

It’s time to let your hair down
and give yourself permission
It takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

Oh, I think, I feel, I see
Oh, that this place is not me
I want to belong
but be wild and free
Oh, he who asks
receives

It’s time to let your hair down
and give yourself permission
It takes courage and control
But you start by letting go, oh

It’s time to let your hair down
and give yourself permission
Oh, it takes courage and control!
But you start by letting go, oh

Aso't Pusa by Hale

I tried listening to Hale's first album and rediscovered a few good opm songs. I tried my luck on buying what would the band's last album, Kundiman, and surprisingly it didn't disappoint me. Probably because of the lowered expectations? Not really. The album's got some neatly structured songs such as this one chronicling a couples infighting.




Hindi na tayo natapos
Ang simple-simple na bagay
Hindi ka magpapatalo
Hinding-hindi ka aatras

Kapitbahay sa kanto
Nabibingi na sa ingay

Pag di ka pa huminahon

Kilay mo ay liliyab

Walang humpay na away
Hindi na ako lalaban
Aah..Ahh..Ahh..

Ahh..Ah..AH...

Aso't pusa


Pumunta na si Hepe

Pati na rin ang nanay mo
Mukhang kailangan ng helmet

At tangke sa gerang ito


Konting masahe
Konting humas sa braso mo

At pag ako'y ay sinuwerte

Mamayang gabi makakascore


Walang humpay na away
Hindi na ako lalaban
Aah..Ahh..Ahh..

Ahh..Ah..AH...

Aso't pusa


Away ng away
Huwag ng magalit
Hindi na kita

Sasabayan

Walang humpay na away
Hindi na ako lalaban
Aah..Ahh..Ahh..

Ahh..Ah..AH...

Aso't pusa


Pag-hug naman
Pa-kiss naman diyan
Pa-hug naman

Pa-kiss naman diyan

I Don't Care What You Call Me by David Ford

It's just one of those lonely, sincere and heartfelt songs that I've come to love.




I never made time
You never made much sense
We never stood a chance
If we're honest

You were not the first
And I won't be the last
But if it makes it better
Well you can call me what you will

Get Home late
No-one's here
Pace around the house
And sit in my chair

And if you think of me
It doesn't mean a thing
So why don't you just tell me what you really think again?

I don't care what you call me
Oh I
I don't care what you call me
No I
I don't care what you call me
'Cos it won't hurt any more

I know I let you down
And Christ you let me know
Every time and time again

Just another afternoon
Get drunk and disappear
So call me what you will

Rain it on down
What else can you throw at me?
I haven't heard before

And tear me on down
I am unforgivable
So why don't you just tell me what you really think again

I don't care what you call me
Oh I
I don't care what you call me
Oh I
I don't care what you call me
'Cos it won't hurt any more

Rain it on down
What else can you throw at me?
I haven't heard before

And tear me on down
I am unforgivable
So why don't you just tell me what you really think again

Scream me on down
I am so forgettable
Yes I know

Shoot me on down
Don't you think this isn't killing me
So why don't you just tell me what you really think again

I don't care what you call me
Oh I
I don't care what you call me
No I
I don't care what you call me
'Cos it won't hurt any more

Pigeons and Crumbs

Someday, I would like to write a song like this. Simple but full of textures. It's somewhat lonely but it's a good start for the day.

Gotta get back
Gotta figure out a way
I'm losing - My senses to you
Where'd it go, the bluebird I should follow
Back home, but where is home
Guess it won't amount to much
Won't be long before I crush
I'll stand in line

Don't believe a thing they say, today
Seems we all get lost amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

All alone
But I'm in a crowded room
I'm sinking, in quick sand tonight
You pick me up, And I shine across the sky till morning,
Then you colour me in
Guess it won't amount to much
Seems to me I've lost my touch
I'm back in line

Don't believe a thing they say today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way, I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

Gotta get in time
Gotta get it last time

Don't believe a thing they say today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way, I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

Don't believe a thing they say today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way, I pray
Seems we all get lost amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

Amphetamines by Eve 6

I was listening to this album just last Saturday while waiting for the MRT Train on Buendia Station. It just clicked that I began to appreciate this song. I just love it's energy and Jon Siebel's guitar work especially on the pre-chorus part. It just strikes me as something beautiful in it's own way. Of course, the lyrics don't hurt either.


Amphetamines and jellybeans
She was pretty in her teens
Waiting for the month of come what May
I smelled you on my shirt today
Of course the hardest part is letting go
But you've got to or you know
You'll end up waiting by the

Phone me once in a while
Let me know you're alright
Tell you again that I'm fine
Then we go about our separate lives

Was it nasty scheme or lazy dreams
I left you cold two blankets deep
This is the last song I'll send your way
I smelled you on my shirt today
Of course the hardest part is letting go
But you've got to or you know
You'll end up waiting by the

Phone me once in a while
Let me know you're alright
Tell you again that I'm fine
Then we go about our separate lives

Phone me tell me that you're waiting
By the phone for me to phone you
Once in a while
Then we go about our separate lives

Phone me once in a while
Let me know you're alright
Tell you again that I'm fine
Then we go about our separate lives

Before You by Chantal Kreviazuk

This is one of my favorite songs between my HS and College era. I believe I was already in college when I heard this. I just love the rhythm guitar and the song's cadence. I also like how Chantal Kreviazuk looked in the video for this song. I got a huge crush on her by virtue of this song.

I still don't have a copy of this song in my CD collection, I remember around the years 2004 to have seen a copy at a discount, but I regrettably passed on it.



Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin' me love you
I think I can get through

Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin' to happen
On the way to nowhere

And now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Bein' a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
And now I think I'll get through

Now honey around you
I'm feelin' so good
'Cause you picked me up out of the rough
And you polished me up and made me brand new

And baby before you, ho ho
There was just a black hole
Yeah I was beat down, blacked out
My darling you couldn't even know

But ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Oh ... ho ...
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ....
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ... ho ...
And now I think I'll get through

And now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through

Next Year by Foo Fighters

There's Nothing Left to Loose was the Foo Fighters album that I didn't own outright, as during the time this was released I was sort of in a limbo with the music I like OR was it because I was buying CDs already, which are more expensive that the cassette, thus I had to make well chosen purchases. Among the hits from the album, this is one of my favorites. Probably because it was more mellow that most Foo Fighters songs that I've liked.

I'm in the sky tonight,
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I'll be coming home next year

Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year

Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now,
Living with our heads underground

Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
When I come down
I'll be coming home next year

I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I'll be coming home next year

Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now,
Living with our heads underground

I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year
Say good-bye

Thinking About You by Radiohead

While everyone is probably digesting and absorbing Radiohead's latest album, The King of Limbs, I just rediscovered this song of theirs from Pablo Honey. I suddenly remembered it while watching the movie 127 Hours, because there was a line that mentioned the title/hook of this song.



Been thinking about you
Your record's a hit
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better

All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When I'm not there.

All the things you've got
That you'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I'd bleed to please you
... honey

Been thinking about you..

I'm Waiting for the Day by The Beach Boys

I've been trying to understand the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds to no avail. While eating my 2nd lunch earlier (damn a very "bitin" korean beef stew), I was able to take a listen at this song. I guess I was able to relate to it with my experiences from last year. Oh well. +1 for the Beach Boys/Brian Wilson I guess.


I came along when he broke your heart
That's when you needed someone
To help forget about him

I gave you love with a brand new start
That's what you needed the most
To set your broken heart free

I know you cried, and you felt blue
But when I could I gave strength to you
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

I kissed your lips
And when your face looked sad
It made me think about him
And that you still loved him so

But you know that pretty soon
I made you feel glad
That you belonged to me
And love began to show

He hurt you then, but that's all gone
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

He hurt you then, but that's all done
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

You didn't think that I could sit around and let him work
You didn't think that I could sit around and let (watch) him take you
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him go
You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go
You didn't think . . .

Just Breathe by Pearl Jam

This song is one of my favorite new tracks from the last Pearl Jam album, Backspacer. This acoustic ditty is heartfelt and is the usual welcome reprieve from PJ's hard rocking songs. Well done guys.


Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh...
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh...
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love...

Some folks just have one
Others they got none, aw huh...

Stay with me
Let's just breathe

Practiced are my sins
Never gonna let me win, aw huh...
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh...
Yea, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
To make me bleed

Stay with me
You're all I see


Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean

I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face, aw huh...
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh...
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me 'till I die
Meet you on the other side

You Get What You Give by New Radicals

I saw the video for this song the summer of '98. I was in high school and I guess for the people of the same age as me, this is one of the songs that encapsulates that period. It was fun. It was not that reckless (not reckless for me I guess).

I just realized how great the bass lines on this are. After years and years of listening to it.





Wake up kids we got the dreamers disease
Age 14 they got you down on your knees

Souls polite, we're busy still saying please
Friendnemies, who, when you're down ain't your friend
Every night we smash their Mercedes-Benz
First we run; and then we laugh till we cry

But when the night is falling and you cannot find the light, light
You feel your dreams are dying

Hold tight

You've got the music in you

Don't let go
You've got the music in you

One dance left

This world is gonna pull through

Don't give up

You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give


I'm coming home baby
You're tops,
Give it to me now


Four a.m. we ran a miracle mile

We're flat broke but hey we do it in style

The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial

But when the night is falling
You cannot find a friend, friend

You feel your dream is breaking

Just bend
You've got the music in you

Don't let go
You've got the music in you

One dance left

This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget

We only get what we give


This whole damn world can fall apart

It'll be ok, follow your heart

You're in harms way
I'm right behind

Now say you're mine
You've got the music in you

Don't let go
You've got the music in you

One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
Don't let go

I feel the music in you,you,you YOU!


Fly ....... high .......!
What's real ....... can't die .......!
You only get what you give


Health insurance rip off lying
FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes run to your mansions
Come around, we'll kick your ass in!

Don't let go
One dance left
Don't give up
Can't forget

You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC

AC/DC made some really good songs based on the catchiest guitar riffs. I remember reading about the Back in Black album in guitar magazines, it being one of the best guitar albums of all time. I only came to realize it when I bought the album during 4th or 5th year college. It was a day that I got my grades from school and went to SM Manila after.



She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Tellin' me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Takin' more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you -

Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long

Workin' double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me, and come back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you -

Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Knocked me out and then you
Shook me all night long
Then you were shakin' and you
Shook me all night loooong
Yeah you shook me
Well, you took me

You really took me and you
Shook me all night long
Oaaaaaahhhhhh you shook me all night long
Yeah yeah you
Shook me all... night... long
Ya really took me and you
Shook me all night long

Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
All night loooong!
