What song are you listening to right now?

thursday - signals over the air
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pejvzJZSLpw

i love the opening guitar part to this song. strum pause strum pause descending unraveling guitar line. i really miss this band. they threw some really great basement shows in there earlier days.

the words:

"This is what you see when you look in my direction:
Incandescent corsets draw eyes tight like wires.
This is how it feels,
Calling out but no one even hears

The signals that we send over the air
Over the air
Over the air
Over the air.

[Chorus]
When you say my name,
I want to split it from your lips
And hide like whispers in the rain.
When you say my name,
I want to stop it in your lungs
And collect all of your blood to put in the radio.

Is this how it feels
When you don't even fit into your own skin?
And its getting tighter,
Every day I'm getting smaller
If I keep holding my breath I'm going to disappear.

[Chorus]

There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on the radio.
There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on.

If I keep holding my breath, all of this will fade away.
If you keep driving we'll be lying in the wreck.
Changing the shape,
Folding like an envelope to keep each other in.
Shattered glass, broken looks, and mascara gets
Washed away by windshield wiper blades.

[Chorus]

There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on the radio.
There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on the radio.
That's where we hide
The love and lies and sex, on the radio.

mayday parade - terrible things (aka how i met your mother and how i said goodbye)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnPKBwO4-P8

nice, mostly just piano and vocals

the words:

"By the time I was your age I'd give anything to fall in love truly
was all I could think,
that's when I met your mother
the girl of my dreams,
the most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen.
She said boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
"I can't help but notice you staring at me,
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.

Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink
and we'd laugh at the stars and share everything.
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
love was a story that couldn't compare.
I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
"I made you a present with paper and string,
open with care now, I'm asking you please,
you know that I love you,
will you marry me?"

Now son I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things
you'll learn one day, and I'll hope and I'll pray that God
shows you differently.

She said boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
"It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please don't be sad now, I really believe,
you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees.

So don't fall in love there's just too much to lose
if you're given the choice, I'm begging you choose to walk away, walk away,
don't let her get you, I can't bare to see the same happen to you.

Now son, I'm only telling you this, because life can do terrible things."

father john misty - true affection

yeah im buying this tomorrow. this is how i like my electronic music to sound like. soundscape's and no dance beats. they lost a bunch on the vinyl deluxe version of this record. not only did they invest a bunch in an elaborate pop cover and insert but the fancy cover which did look admittedly great crushed the records and damaged them mean they lost the investment in its entirety but the sum of the investment was like three times the normal
 
Happy Valentine's Day


nice im a huge westerberg fan and own everything hes done. if youre put off somewhat by whats been written about his solo stuff dont be as 14 songs is better than a couple of replecement albums and granda pa boyand mono are all really good. 14 songs may be the best thing he ever done. i will warn not to buy the book all over but the shouting as its terrible.
