Mike Gordon - Take Me Out, Pt. 2
[YOUTUBE]VDilh2gf1f8[/YOUTUBE]

Take me out
There's nothing left inside me
That feels like home
Take me out
Take me off the wheel of doubt

I see my own footsteps
Running at the sea
And upward in the air
To outer space
I feel my hand hanging back
Clinging to my door
Hiding in my house
Trying to save face

Take me out
There's nothing left inside me
That feels like home
Take me out
Take me off the wheel of doubt

Take me out
There's nothing left inside me
That feels like home
Take me out
Take me off the wheel of doubt

Dreaming I'd fly high enough
To see that it's a dream
But gravity is working
In my sleep
Falling back I hear
A tiny voice that seems to scream
"Get out now;
You're sinking much too deep."

Take me out
Take me out

This definitely feels to describe my feelings precisely right now. It really feels like it was written about me, which is nuts.

YES I AM DEEP. Normally, I wouldn't feel so attached to such a sad song, but some of these lyrics seem to describe aspects of my life so well that I can't help it. Somebody who I greatly care for always talks about moving away to London, and I can never quite convince her not to. Just little things like that scattered ALL OVER this song...
 
its weird to explain. but snow patrols - open your eyes kind of describes a chapter in my life.
when my gran passed away. the lyrics are so true to me. except the part about self harming.


esp. those two verses. i cry everytime the song comes on, its pretty painfull to listen to :( it was pretty much the worst time of my life.
 
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne - Richard Thompson

He said, Dear, I’m leaving, right there in the hallway
As the party roared on all around
And her head wouldn’t turn, O she couldn’t look at him
In a whirlpool she quietly drowned
And she said to herself, I won’t cry, I won’t grieve
But I’ll laugh and I’ll flow with the wine
With the fast love of strangers we’ll sing Sweet Bye and Bye
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

How I wish I knew
All the old songs they’re singing
Such comfort they’re bringing
To a heart that’s as empty as mine
O it lifts you so high
Does the Sweet Bye and Bye
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

And she said, I’ll be wearing my smile like a mask
And I’ll care for each stranger I kiss
And no-one will know that I’m wounded and cheated
So close to my moment of bliss
And sometimes you never connect with a song
Till it’s telling the way that you feel
Putting worRAB to your story, all the pain and the glory
How can it be written so real

How I wish I knew
All the old songs they’re singing
Such comfort they’re bringing
To a heart that’s as empty as mine
O it lifts you so high
Does the Sweet Bye and Bye
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

This song really feels like the POV of the woman in the song is about me. The bolded sections are particularly apt, I felt.
 
Pretty much. But winter mornings/afternoons where it's bitterly cold but the sun's out. Perfect weather. I prefer it to summer.

Seattle seems like a seedy place, is it?
Only because I've seen documentaries, mainly Nirvana ones.
And it didn't look very glamorous, but then again they were trying to paint the tortured genius rose from a shit hole and took on the world picture. What's it like? So many great banRAB have come from Seattle, a bit like Manchester.
You guys have Modest Mouse, we have The Smiths.

Manchester and Seattle's music scenes > everything.
 
it took me a year of living there to realize that 764-HERO is the nuraber you call when people are breaking the car pool lane law :)

dont forget MURDER CITY DEVILS...great band from Seattle and Sun City Girls operated out of Seattle for years....Supersuckers are also based in Seattle

i will say this about the city....absolute worst public transportation....its just horrible

edit...

Earth is from Seattle and pretty much Sunn0))) also
 
Estoy enfermo ("I'm Sick") by Pignoise (a band) together with Melendi (a pop and rock singer):

​

I've translated the lyrics:

"Since a while ago I'm on my own
and I've lost my mind.
Since a while ago I'm crazy;
don't blame me for that.

I'm a kind of weirdo preserved in solitude.
And though I aim at me, I never fire;
I always use to forgive myself.
And nobody can help me.

I'm ill...
Nobody can cure me.
I just want some calmness.
I feel how I'm dying inside.
I'm ill...

And when I close my eyes
my whole world starts spinning.
Little by little I'll try to get my mind back.
If I've never flown across the sky
it is because my wings aren't real.
When I take a run-up, I always slip,
I never manage to take off.
And no one can help me.

I'm ill...
Nobody can cure me.
I just want some calmness.
I feel how I'm dying inside...
I feel how I'm dying inside...
I'm ill..."

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement

High up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

They're all uptight

I wish that they'd swoop down
In the country lane late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my frienRAB but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life
They'd shut me away

But I'd be all right
I'm all right
I'm just uptight
