Bodegas and Blood by Butch Walker and The Black Widows

I re-listened to this song back in December of 2012 and discovered this song. It was also opportune that I downloaded a copy of Butch Walker's visit to the Daryl Hall's web show Live at Daryl's House. I actually didn't realize the Daryl in the title of the show was THE Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates. 

Butch Walker's song is always fun. Somehow I'm just able to relate to his music, similar to how I relate probably to Paul Westerberg's. They are both genius in my opinion.



Walking into a bodega while she's cleaning out her nose
Stuck here in Kenmare Square without a place to go
And it's a beautiful day
And she's a beautiful face
And she'll be fine
 
And the car wash water oozes down the sidewalk city street
Runs like the flow of blood from her legs 
down to the bathroom sink
And as she looks at the street
And then she looks at her feet
And she is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me

And Mr. Harris runs the consignment store where she likes to get her jeans
He was a regular at studio 54 
Hanging out with the other queens
And he's the last of the five, to make it out alive
And he is fine
So it seems

Yeah
 And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
 
Little girl, she was an orphan she lost her folks when she was young
Nobody never gave her nothing, she taught herself to get things done
But if she smiles at everyone
And she is made and loved
And we are fine
Yes we are
 
Oh and it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me

Ooh La La by Faces

I recently saw the movie Rushmore by Wes Anderson. I enjoyed watching the Royal Tenenbaums that I decided to look into other movies by Wes Anderson. From my recollection, the movie was co-written by the brilliant Owen Wilson, one of my favorite actors.

The song was used in the latter part of the movie. The music just resonated in my soul without knowing who the artist was. I googled and lyrics and found out that it was from Faces, written by members Ronnie Wood and Ronnie Lane. Faces launched the careers of Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, who's playing for the Rolling Stones. I read that Rod Steward didn't want to sing this song, so Ronnie got the gig and the song was way better for it.



Poor old Granddad, I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you when they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far to kind
Don't ever let it show

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way

Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters

I recently watched the Foo Fighter's documentary Back and Forth after shelving the idea for more than a year. I've been in a sort of movie/video binge the past few weeks. So far I've seen the following: Easy Rider, The Thing, Prometheus, Six Degrees of Separation and Rushmore. I haven't gotten around watching Reservoir Dogs.

On topic, this was one of the songs that made me buy the 1st Foo Fighters album. The music video made an impression on me especially after learning that the band was led by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. I liked the idea of someone trying to start something new. I guess that resonated with me (for reasons I really don't know) and have been generally a fan of Foo Fighters music ever since.
 

 


I thought I knew
All it took to bother you
Every word I said was true
And that you'll see

How could it be
I'm the only one who sees
Your rehearsed insanity (And I)

I still refused
All the methods you abused
It's alright if you're confused
Let me be

I've been around
All the pawns you've gagged and bound
They'll come back and knock you down
And I'll be free

I've taken all and I've endured
One day it all will fade I'm sure


I don't owe you anything

I had no hand
In your ever desperate plan
It returns and when it lands
Words are due

I should've known
We were better off alone
I looked and I was shown
You were too

I've taken all and I've endured
one day it all will fade I'm sure

I don't owe you anything

I'll stick around
I'll stick around (and)
Learn from all
That came from it


Tornado by The Black Crowes

It seems a "bad day" arrived today. And I feel weary and tired. I put the ipod on shuffle and this song came out before a Notorious B.I.G. song. I liked it. I would have missed it if I was not having a bad day. So I guess bad days are not totally bad after all.



Sit down by the window and watch the tornado
We'll wait for the sheriff to bring some dirty water by
Help yourself out to some of my disaster
Its movin' faster
Than the last time I was on speed
Don't you know what I mean
Cause it's ways and means and your ways are mean
By definition
I could fill this page up with this boys ambitions
But I don't audition
Oh yes that's true
I could never act for you

Heard you saw some friends of mine last winter
Then again, I heard you disappeared into ether
I don't laugh and you smile because I'm tired
I'm feelin wired oh so weary
And oh so old

Am I being too bold
Bold enough to ask you if you really love me
In my shadows and in my breeze
And just one last thing
Please let me say
And that is please,
Oh please, please stay away, from me

With A Little Help from My Friends by Joe Cocker

I first encountered this song via my favorite TV series, The Wonder Years, where it is featured as the show's theme song. Of course, I'm familiar with the Beatles's original version of the song. Joe Cocker definitely made it different, where you could be mislead that it's a different song. Just this weekend, i revisited the song, by watching Woodstock, wherein Joe Cocker won over the crowd.



What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home by Butch Walker and The Black Widows

I originally thought that I've blogged about this song already. One of my recent favorites from Butch Walker. He sounds like Ryan Adams on this one. The song's just short of perfect.


Her hair is like a crow's nest
She's got glitter in her eye
Her smile is like a jack-o-lantern
Trying not to cry
She's been living been living pretty hard
Since her old man up and died a year ago

And I see her every morning
While she's walking to the check
She holds her head like she's got something heavy
Hanging 'round her neck

Puts some money in her purse
And hides some where he won't expect before she goes

Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home

Well she stole more than a little
From her folks in Cartersville
With that wrong foot in that right boot
Left a lot of room to fill

With one foot on the platform
And a lot of time to kill
They shoulda' known

Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home

Well I haven't seen her lately
Guess I just assumed the worst
But I think I kinda miss her
Standing there with her lips pursed.

First thing in the morning
Leaning up against the church
Like it's your own

Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home

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
(Aw, it will make me cry)

Operator, co-creator
Come on radiator
Won't you blow another top and sing - hey
(Ah, you only get what you bring)

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

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

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
Pick me, pick me, yeahEveryone is waitingPick me, pick me, yeahYou can even pay them

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
