Eager Angels by Session Road

Whoah... i think the title is a cliche. Easy on the lyrics... super simple. I dont like the speech part of the song really. But the hook's a killer. It did it's job... it hooked me on this song.




See you walking in
hurting from what have been
as your face draws back
and open up a sigh
i hate to break it in you
it’s the hardest thing she had to
but her words meant baby
everything is through
nanananana…nanananana…
nanananana…nanananana…

I watched upon the heavens
wait till you believe our moment is true


Like eager angels falling from heavens
i’d give it all up to share the pain with you
like eager angels falling from heaven
undaunted cause your love
will see me through

How can I make you feel
how i want to hold you near
i ache to feel your hand caress my soul
i’m standing next to you
my days no longer blue
i’d shed my wings to offer what is true
nanananana…nanananana…
nanananana…nanananana…


I watched upon the heavens
wait till you believe our moment is true


Like eager angels falling from heavens
i’d give it all up to share the pain with you
like eager angels falling from heaven
undaunted cause your love
will see me through


I still can taste the scent of your voice on my lips
every moment i close my eyes and breath you
it was a moment that would linger on in my stubborn disbelief
in the magic that was woven…stolen


Like eager angels …
like eager angels …
you’re my angel …
you’re my angel …



Out of Reach by Rivermaya

I remember owning a copy of this album... a cassette tape during high school. I really didn't like the album at first... but it really grew on me.

The song's about a guy... admiring a girl from afar. This is my story.



You are the best
That I’ve ever seen
Out from your apartment
And into my dreams
Up on the rooftop
The comets and me
One of ‘em tells me
You’re out of reach
Don’t turn your head this way.
I need a magic potion
To make you feel the same
Way that I feel
O, static photograph
(The one that you wouldn’t give to me)
Stolen from your best friend’s diary
(The one that I stole from her)
Talk to me
Talk to me!!!!
Beautificent scenery from seventeen rows behind you
I whisper a thought pretending you would hear
I was never gonna ever call you!
Was never gonna waste my time
Was never gonna see you
But I just changed my mind

Unemployed Boyfriend by Everclear

'nuff said!




[Answering machine:] “Hi, this is Peggy. Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya."

“Hey Peggy, it's me. You are never going to believe what happened to me today. I'm sittin' at the unemployment office, waitin' on my loser of a caseworker, in one of those nasty chairs, when from out of nowhere, this total stranger walks right up to me, sits down, then leans over and says something like, ‘This is gonna sound a little obsessive.'"

This is gonna sound a little obsessive
This is gonna sound a little bit strange
I have one thing to say
Before I turn and I walk away

This is gonna sound a little impulsive
This is gonna sound a little insane
I know you don't know me yet
But you and I, we will be together someday
Someday
I know, I know, I sound like I'm on drugs
Listen to me when I say

That ever since when I first saw you
Sittin' on your car outside
You asked for a cigarette
I couldn't stop starin' at your eyes

Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights of the office around you
Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
Yeah you want people to think that you just don't care

Hey you can be with me
Yeah 'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're perfect
Who will always make you come
Hey you can be with me
Yes I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend

“Can you believe he said that to me? To me, of all people! I can't even remember the last time a guy took me out on a date and actually paid for it!”

This is gonna sound a little bit out there
This is gonna sound a little insane
I keep having the same dream
You will be the mother of my children someday
Someday

I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you are with him
Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand

Yeah you can be with me
Yes I will treat you like a queen
I will go to all those chick flick movies
That I really don't want to see
Yeah you can be with me
No I will never let you down
I will never make out with your girlfriend
When I know you're not around
Yes you can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're special
I will always make you come
You can be with me
Yes I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend

“Can you believe this? I mean, can this be for real?"

No!

"Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away."

Whoa!

"I mean, wow. But you know, the weird thing is, he's actually kind of cute, in a really intense way. Kinda like Perry Farrell, you know. Intense, but sensitive. Anyway, I told my bitchy sister about it, and she just laughed at me. I told her I'm really excited about this! That I have a really good feeling about this guy! I told her, ‘This could be the guy.' I'm like.

Pardon Me by Incubus

The song and the band that broke my musical barriers. It was summer of 2000 when I chanced upon the music video of Pardon Me. I was into rap-metal at that time with the likes of KORN and Limp Bizkit. I've read in a magazine the band's name being thrown around by local artists as if it a license to be cool. If you were in to rap-metal in those day's you'd instantly feel that the other bands' vocalists were sissies compared to Brandon Boyd. After watching that particular video, my life was changed.



A decade ago, I never thought I would be,
at twenty three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me.
But I guess that it comes with the territory;
an ominous landscape of never ending calamity.
I need you to hear, I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a definite possibility
to me.


So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same.

Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees.
I said, "I can relate," cause' lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from the burdens of the planet earth.
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
and thinking so much differently.


So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same.

Missing Your Love by Jonny Lang

I was introduced to Jonny Lang through CNN back from the days when still have those Hollywood reports. The kids a guitar genius they say. Years after, I encountered his debut album... for P20 at that. Missing Your Love's your classic love song. Its just him, the guitar and his feelings. Remarkable considering that he was only 15 when he recorded this.




You lay me down, whisper in my ear
Well, it may be my name you call
But it's his name I hear

You promised me through thick and thin
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
'cause you love him

And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me,
I'm still missin' your love

And when we talk, you look into my eyes
Your talkin to me but baby I can see
He's on your mind

And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me, I'm still missin' your love
I reach out for you and you turn away
It takes all I can do to make it through the day
And I'm missin' your love And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me,
I'm still missin' your love


Crash Crash by Murderdolls

Whats the best about buying CDs? Finding a bargain and a new musical territory thats what. The Coldplay CD I bought turned out to be a lemon, and this is what I got in return 'The Heart of Roadrunner Records'. There's a lot of heavy music here but this one standsout. Murderdolls is a band of Joey Jordison, the Slipknot drummer. Crash Crash is straight on heavy metal without excuses... just in time for the new year!





I'm at the end of my noose,
I've got nothing to loose.
I'm digging my own grave,
And thats the truth.
My self esteem is low and I'm so high,
And I dont give a fuck if I live or die.
Just bury me in my self pity,
Can't even get myself to talk to me.
I'd kill myself, but it wouldnt help,
Can't someone put me out of my misery?
I'm going down I was born to die.
I'm going down, now I'll say goodbye.
[chorus]
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
Throw in the towel its over for me,
I fell right out of the ugly tree.
I cross my heart and I hope I die,
But I sure fucking hope, if I even try.
To dumb to die, to smart to live,
Those are the choices that I'm left with
Eeny - Meeny - Miney - Mo
Bombs away motherfuckers here I go.
I'm going down I was born to die.
I'm going down, now I'll say goodbye
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.

Where You Goin' Now by Damn Yankees

I'm not really familiar with this band (except that Ted Nugent's the guitarist) , it just so happened that my oldest brother bought this CD and always plays this song (he never really does listen to the other songs... just this particular one). Months ago, he played this song and our mother quipped that whenever she hears this song playing on the radio... she remembers us, her 3 sons, so there... a glam rock song holding a special place in our mother's heart.



There's a face in the mirror
and you close your eyes
much easier to turn away
than to take a look inside

So you're thinking it's over
Walking away
Let your little world crash and burn
oh, what a price to pay

Didn't anybody tell you
it's not who's right or wrong?
Hold the line
is this what's going on?

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
gonna be there yes I will

There's a crack in the mirror,
there's a hole in the sun
Fullmoon in the midnight sky
and you feel like you wanna run

So you blow out the candle
and you turn off the light
then you stumble into darkness
Do you believe that love is blind?

Didn't anybody tell you
it's never too late to try?
Hold the line
before you say goodbye

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
gonna be there yes I will

Now I'm not talking 'bout what's good for me
and I'm not saying, how you ought to be
But if there is a message shining on through to you
Take a little piece of mind
and let your love light shine

Didn't anybody tell you
It's never too late to try?
Hold the line
before you say goodbye

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
gonna be there yes I will

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
gonna be there yes I will
gonna be there yes I will

Shine by Mr. Big

One of my recent favorites is this song by Mr. Big. Culled from their last album 'Actual Size', I first encountered the song via a pirated DVD concert i bought for P60 (or P55, i really don't remember). The guitar intro got me hooked... something about it makes me wanna get up and dance.


I never really feel quite right
I don't know why, all I know is there's something wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive

Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it
I'll follow in every footstep

Baby on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to

SHINE
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out

I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction is all I was looking for

When you looked through me,
You really knew me like no one has ever looked before

Baby on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to

SHINE
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out

(I know, I know, girl you got something)

SHINE (shine it on to me)
Shine down on me (I wanna feel it)
Shine on this life that's burning out

Baby on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to

SHINE
Shine down on me (just show me something)
Shine on this life that's burning out (you give me something that I've never known)

Shine (if you could show me the way)
Shine (I wanna know what's going on in your life)
Shine on this life that's burning out
