Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

Go on and close the curtains
All we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
Going to hold you tonight

We know I'm going away
How I wish....wish it weren't so
Take this wine & drink with me
Let's delay our misery

Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone

There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away....it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I......that I could stay
Girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone....

Second Half Life Source Condition Zero

So.. Linden's Second Life has been in the news alot lately and I've been reading about it here and there. I'm trying to figure out the allure and all the attention it's been getting. So the short quick description.. it's like playing the Sims.. but with other people.. and with the chance of making or spending *real* money. Now given I would spend money on MMOs like Final Fantasy Online or Phantasy Star Universe etc.. sure, I'm curious about Second Life, but that doesn't mean I'd want to pay for it.. I mean there's no plot to it.. it's not really even a game, its more.. an advanced chat room or a newer version of Sims. Anyway.. just trying to figure out all that. I do think it would be cool to use to chat with family and friends that are far away though. Watch out instant messaging.. this is going to replace you one day.

- D -

PS. It's Saturday.. and I've been in the office since around 9am. Wow. This is the suck.

What exactly do you mean?

It's funny when you look up lyrics for a song and you're like.. oohhhh is that what they say.. I always thought they were saying I am the sun, and the air, which didn't really fit in with the rest of the chorus.. wow learn something everyday I guess. Shaddup I'm tired.. took a nap after I got home from work yesterday.. woke up at 10:30pm and have been up since then. Makes work more interesting when you can barely focus on how to properly drink coffee from a cup. Yes.

And yeah I've been linking whatever songs are in lyrics to sites you can download my song of the day from because.. I can.

The Smiths - How Soon is Now (tatu, Snake River Conspiracy and Love Spit Love are among many bands that do a decent cover of this song)

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See i've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Somewhere

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

This railroad

Jack Johnson - Breakdown

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roam through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for me now

So for now..

I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

This engine screams out loud
Saying the beat gonna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound
Cause its gonna sting me when I leave this town
And all the people in the street
That I'll never get to meet
These tracks dont bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I don't need to be

So I
I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now
Let me break on down

But you cant stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in you know
You dont know nothing
But you dont need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You can't stop wishing
If you dont let go
The things that you find
And you lose and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now

Freaking November...

Guns N Roses - November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Well that wasn't expected

It's the strangest thing. I haven't thought about this movie / story in a long time. Earlier today I was speaking to a friend of mine about it. Sure enough when I got home it was on. Certain stories can have an impact on you or stay with you without you even knowing it. There's many of them out there. Stuff from Shakespeare, Dickens, Hawthorne, whatever. Some things you may have been told to read in school growing up, some you randomly stumble upon. Many things make up the person we are today, all I can say is.. try not to forget about the things that make up the core of your being because in the end, the only one that can be held accountable for your thoughts and actions is yourself.

What are a couple old stories that I still like that may have influenced me?

The Good Earth by Peal Buck
On the Beach by Nevil Shute
Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Mono - Life in Mono (Ingenue)

The stranger sang a theme
from someone else?s dream
the leaves began to fall
and no one spoke at all
but I can?t seem to recall
when you came along
Ingenue

Ingenue
I just don?t know what to do

The tree-lined avenue
begins to fade from view
drowning past regrets
in tea and cigarettes
but I can?t seem to forget
when you came along
Ingenue

Ingenue
I just don?t know what to do

Ingenue
I just don?t know what to do

Grip

Sometimes I wonder why I just post lyrics instead of ya know.. posting stuff. I guess the general feeling / mood / things can be explained by songs sometimes so maybe I'm just lazy and let people get what they want from the lyrics that I posted. Course some days its just what's on repeat while I'm at work and I figure if this song's in my head then damn let's spread the love hehe.

Aerosmith - Amazing

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
To see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through the pain
And when I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I tought I could leave
But couldn't get out the door
I was so sick n' tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishing that I would die
(Chorus)
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
It's amazing
That when the moment arrives
You know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
To the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And a how high can you fly with broken wings
Life's a journey - not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen
To all that righteous talk
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
(Chorus)
"To all of you people out there
Wherever you are - remember:
The light at the end of the tunnel
May be you - goodnight"
