A lame attempt to keep this blog alive. Love her accent when she says "come" back.
Ah :)
| Lyrics | [−] |
For you I want to sing a happier song
For you I'm gonna try to right all my wrongs
For you I'm gonna break my bad habits
There's a golden ring and I want you to have it
There's a golden ring and I want you
For you I'm gonna sit and patiently wait
It's great if you're early but if it's fine if you're late
For you I feel love and I just want to show it
You're a beautiful girl and want you to know it
You're a beautiful girl and want you to know it
You're a beautiful girl and want you to know it
It's an infinite world and I want you
Once again I am opened
Once again I am opened
Once again I am opened
Once again I am opened
For you I'm waiting on the ticket line
I gotta get back I don't wanna waste time
But the people are tired and the line is so long
So all I can do is sing this song
For you I'm gonna try to right all my wrongs
For you I'm gonna break my bad habits
There's a golden ring and I want you to have it
There's a golden ring and I want you
For you I'm gonna sit and patiently wait
It's great if you're early but if it's fine if you're late
For you I feel love and I just want to show it
You're a beautiful girl and want you to know it
You're a beautiful girl and want you to know it
You're a beautiful girl and want you to know it
It's an infinite world and I want you
Once again I am opened
Once again I am opened
Once again I am opened
Once again I am opened
For you I'm waiting on the ticket line
I gotta get back I don't wanna waste time
But the people are tired and the line is so long
So all I can do is sing this song
The video is a little creepy, sad, intriguing and classy at the same time. And it tells a story. My first introduction to Duncan Sheik was through a friend. Subsequently, Spring Awakening put him on my mind's map. But I guess, it had to do with the time I discovered him (I had other things happening in my life) - that I never really dug deeper. Today some random YouTube browsing brought me to his music again. And this time around, I was in the perfect mood to explore.

Check out the website of the new album Whisper House and know the story behind it.
| Lyrics | [−] |
What are you looking at, what do you see?
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy?
Whenever you're watching
You're changing the scene
Time is a place, this place is a song
Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone
He too may be watching but he's not letting on
Can't dry your eyes
Or say it's alright
Even though he might
And she can't kiss your cheek
As the days become weeks
No rewind
No repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
Hey, are you listening?
What is the sound of things that you lose that you never have found?
You're finding the way
Or turning around
Dancer with destiny
Tempter of fate
The life that you lived is only a taste
Sometimes the sweetest is the time that you waste
I won't dry your eyes
Or say it's alright
'Cause sometimes that's the lie
[ Duncan Sheik Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Even if she kissed your cheek
Still the days become weeks
No rewind
No repeats
Steal your heart
Life is hard
Never easy, believe me
Need no more questions
Maybes are mights
Darkness descends, run out of light
When you go blind
You get second sight
The deeper you dive
The greater the heights
So don't dry your eyes
Or say it's alright
Life is hard
It's a fight
Even if she kissed your cheek
Still the days become weeks
No rewind
No repeats
As the days become weeks
No remind
No repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy?
Whenever you're watching
You're changing the scene
Time is a place, this place is a song
Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone
He too may be watching but he's not letting on
Can't dry your eyes
Or say it's alright
Even though he might
And she can't kiss your cheek
As the days become weeks

The song which made me come back to listening to Dave Matthews again. Courtesy my friend's YouTube playlist.
Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I’ll move on
One more drink and I’ll be gone
Acoustic guitar duets dont get more melodious than this. One of my favorite Dave Matthews songs. And this version is special.
Stay Or Leave (YouTube Link)
Very different but the acoustic guitar riffs in this are terrific and wonderfully melodious.
And again, the lyrics need some doing!
And again, the lyrics need some doing!
Times Like These
| Lyrics | [−] |
yes indeed im waiting for
times like these
you and me layin on a floor
on times like these
what on earth is worth livin for
but times like these
as i turn to you and ask in vain
but still you dont say
a moment please is all i ask from you
to stake my case
as i lean in ever close to kiss your face
i've seen a thousand times we have replayed all this what ....
still i turn to you and ask in vain
but still you dont say
love alone will never save us
this wicked life might never leave us
take it down to peter's lounge
and wait around till familiar sound of
penny drops on ....
gonna go straight down to live a life.............
and you dont say
times like these
you and me layin on a floor
on times like these
what on earth is worth livin for
but times like these
as i turn to you and ask in vain
but still you dont say
a moment please is all i ask from you
to stake my case
as i lean in ever close to kiss your face
i've seen a thousand times we have replayed all this what ....
still i turn to you and ask in vain
but still you dont say
love alone will never save us
this wicked life might never leave us
take it down to peter's lounge
and wait around till familiar sound of
penny drops on ....
gonna go straight down to live a life.............
and you dont say
Around the same time last year, I had listened to this song. And it had really moved me. I don't know why I didn't put it here. May be because the blog itself did not exist back then. A lot has changed since then. Better days are indeed here. But I still love this one
Better Days
I didn't find the lyrics anywhere so tried to listen to the song and write it down. A couple of words still beat me. If you are able to follow, please let me know.

thinkin of times and of places that felt so real
yesterday
holdin on tight
feelin alright thinkin of
yesterday
and even though i never said it to you
im waitin in line to give it to you
and even though i never got it from you
im still wasting my time tyrin to give it to you
still i try
to hold on for better days
so let it slide
still i pray
prayin for better days
so let it slide down and down and down and down
today .. today .. today im gonna fade away
standing on my own two feet
walking on what i feel is
solid ground
........ another man's
dreams just until i find my own
way home from here
isnt it strange
that as we grow old we tend to walk away from
a little less pain
to something that's easier to fit into our frame
still i try
to hold on for better days
so let it slide
still i pray
praying for better days
so let it slide down and down and down and down
today .. today .. today im gonna fade away
yesterday
holdin on tight
feelin alright thinkin of
yesterday
and even though i never said it to you
im waitin in line to give it to you
and even though i never got it from you
im still wasting my time tyrin to give it to you
still i try
to hold on for better days
so let it slide
still i pray
prayin for better days
so let it slide down and down and down and down
today .. today .. today im gonna fade away
standing on my own two feet
walking on what i feel is
solid ground
........ another man's
dreams just until i find my own
way home from here
isnt it strange
that as we grow old we tend to walk away from
a little less pain
to something that's easier to fit into our frame
still i try
to hold on for better days
so let it slide
still i pray
praying for better days
so let it slide down and down and down and down
today .. today .. today im gonna fade away
