No One's Gonna Take Me Alive

Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Excellent song, it's one of those songs that just sorta sticks with you.
OR more likely, it is the song you've heard once or twice on the radio.
It caught your attention, and you craved to hear more, but here's how it happens:

1 minute after song - "OH MAN OH MAN, I'm totally gonna download this when I get home!!"

5 minutes after song - You are still trying to hum the lyrics so you don't forget them. After all, you have no clue what the bands/songs names are.

15 minutes after song - You can remember 2 words from the song. Those 2 words are not consecutive and you can't remember how the song goes anymore.

Several hours after hearing song - you get home, space out, and completely forget to look up that catchy song that you've forgotten all the words to anyway.

Next day - "I feel like I'm forgetting something..." but then again, you always feel like that, don't you?

Week and a half later - You hear the song again, and the process repeats.

Your Tunnel Vision

Lost For Words - Pink Floyd
This song stops me in my tracks, every time I hear it.
I can't tell if it is out of sadness, happiness, or just the love of this song.
Regardless, it is one of my top 10 favorite of all time.
Listen to the lyrics, I mean really listen to them.

Walking on the Embers

I have spent a lifetime
Waiting for the chance
To save you my confession
Save the one last dance

The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then
I'm begging for permission
To play the Foo Fighter's 'Burn Away'

No Words To Describe It

Sideways - Citizen Cope, feat. Carlos Santana
A sad song set to scenes from an even sadder movie. We can't control the bad things that happen to us in life. What matters is how you respond to them, that makes all the difference. "The Fountain" is a prime example of how a poor response to a bad situation can rend your world asunder. I do not recommend watching this movie. The song however, is excellent.

Take Anything You Want From Me

Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Seeing as how tis my Birthday, I choose an extra-special song that is near my heart.
Yeah Yeah Yeah Ye-Yeah Fly On, Fly On my Little Wing...

Worse Than You Would Ever Know

Today's Recommended Listening: Dashboard - Modest Mouse.
This one has one of the most fun and interesting music videos I've seen in a long time.



While we are on the subject of cool videos, you should definitely take a look
at this little show put on by Fat Boy Slim. You may recognize someone.
BTW, if you ever find yourself on a game show, where the question
standing between you and a lifetime of financial freedom is
"What is the greatest music video ever made?" here's a hint:

Pink Floyd - Echoes

Artist - Title
Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet.
I am you and what I see is me.
Do I take you by the hand, and lead you through the land
to help me understand the best I can?

This is one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. For those of you who don't understand the flow of the music, it is sort of like how Stairway to Heaven builds, like you are climbing a stairway, well, Echoes builds, dies, and then builds again, following the transition of evening into night, and night into dawn.

Can't You See That I Am Not Afraid

Touch Me - The Doors
