Anchor

"You said open your eyes and

I said I don't like surprises

You said surprise, you're up to your knees in the water

And don't have a life-vest

I know, I know, I know, but don't worry

'Cause I've got it figured out

You said jump in the boat, man

I said, no, you reach your hand

You said, the storms that will come

Will be more than enough and alone you cannot win

You know, you know, you know without hope

You'll only sink not swim

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remember

And I'm cryin' for you to help

Please, save me

When I feel like I am drifting away

Sinking down, the sands are shifting today

I'm about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

Looking out, the skies are turning to gray

All around, the tide is pulling away

Just about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

You said, whatever happens

Don't get caught in the rapids

Hold on, I'm over the edge

And I'm reachin' for help 'cause I'm caught in the deep end

I know, I know, I know what you said

But I'm in over my head

You said, I'm not alone here

I said, throw me a rope and

I've had more than enough of the rain

And the cold and I wanna give up

And I know, I know, I know without hope

I'll only sink, not swim

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remembered

And I'm cryin' for you to help

Please, save me

When I feel like I am drifting away

Sinking down, the sands are shifting today

I'm about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

Looking out, the skies are turning to gray

All around, the tide is pulling away

Just about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remember

When I cry for you to help

You save me

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remember

And I'm cryin' out for you to help

And you save me

When I feel like I am drifting away

Sinking down, the sands are shifting today

I'm about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

Looking out, the skies are turning to gray

All around, the tide is pulling away

Just about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down"

~Satellites and Sirens

I really like this song because it brings together a mix of electronic and rock, and it fits. It also has that alternative rock feel to it. It's a great mix of feelings as well. It conveys being lost and then found by someone you love or that is close to you. Just when you're about to fail, to fall, they swoop in and save you. 

But the reason that I really like this song is that it reminds me of myself. It says, "Just about to lose my way, you anchor, anchor me down." and that sounds like me and my boyfriend, Tiger. Just when I'm about to lose myself, lose my way, he pulls me back, and he saves me. So I connect with this song on a deeper level than just music, I relate to it. I think that's what makes a really great song. When you relate to it. When you connect to it on a deeper level than just sounding good. And some people don't realize that.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

What Is Left

"I Saw You From My Window

I Let You Crawl Inside

Your Face Became My Shadow

Your Voice Became My Guide

Oh, What Is Left

I Take What I Can Get

And Black Out All the Rest

What Is Left

Some Words That I Forget

And More I Regret…

I Came Here Alone

I Thought You’d Gone

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I Came Here Alone

The Long Way Home

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I’m Trying to Evade You

I’m Trying to be Kind

One Solemn Night I’ll Take You

Down the Barrel of My Gun

Oh, What Is Left

I Take What I Can Get

And Black Out All the Rest

What Is Left

Demon Hunter is generally a Screamo band, but they have a few songs that appeal to people who don't listen to Screamo. This is one of them. It's completely devoid of screaming, but it's still one of their great songs. It's an interesting song with no real clear meaning, but what I divine from it is that it's still full of emotions, with pain and anger up front and center. It's hard to tell you what this song means, but I guess it will have a different meaning for everyone. It tells me he wanted some solitude, but someone was trying to follow him and he would like to kill/ killed them. I don't know, tell me your meaning to it. I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

America

Duece

America

"They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your veins,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

You can't tell me what to say,

Because I've got one religion,

And I've got one decision,

It's a big fuck you!

I keep spitting in your face,

Every month and every day,

Every time you hear my name,

My middle fingers up too.

You think I own you,

But I ain't go no room for these hoes,

Cause they ain't no good,

I ain't living by your rules.

You're getting older,

Full of liquor you're blowing,

And you wanna be noticed,

But you're dying so slowly.

So when they point the finger,

You flip one back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

So when they point the finger,

We'll flip ours back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your veins,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

Eenie meenie minie moe,

Each one of us gonna know,

That your time is coming soon,

Cause there ain't enough room,

In this world for us two.

Yeah, I hate to break the news,

But I'ma break it in this music,

To let the world know who,

Who you've been using,

Who you're abusing,

It's the suits you've being fooling.

But you know that you're useless,

So he's been acting so ruthless,

Deep inside you're just ruined,

Cause I keep on moving here,

To show you the truth bitch!

So when they point the finger,

You flip one back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

So when they point the finger,

We'll flip ours back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your veins,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

WHY CAN'T YOU DIE? [x2]

MOTHERFUCKER JUST DIE [x2]

NO MORE GOODBYES [x2]

JUST FUCKING DIE! [x2]

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your vein,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

So when they point the finger,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!"

This song is really hardcore, as far as most of us are concerned. Most would probably find it offensive, but I like it. It conveys a sort of anger toward our society that says "I'm not going with the flow anymore. I want to be my own person. Fuck you people." With a minimal amount of screaming but plenty of hard rock, any metal fan would most likely appreciate this song. It conveys such a strong sense of anger that most of us would appreciate, because we feel that way, too. I find this song to say what I cannot say for myself, and I think we need that rude awakening once in awhile.

It's explaining that society today, especially in America, is so fucked up that we barely function anymore. I don't know how many of you will agree with me on this, but that's how I see it. Please keep any political comments to yourself, no one really cares. I think people these days are just fucked up period, and this song conveys that feeling.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

Johnny and June

Heidi  Newfield

Johnny and June

"Oh there's something 'bout a man in black,

Makes me want to buy a Cadillac,

Throw the top back,

And roll down to Jackson town,

I wanna be there on the stage with you,

You and I could be the next rage to,

Hear the crowd roar,

Make 'em one more,

I'll kick the footlights out,

I wanna love like Johnny & June,

Rings of fire burnin' with you,

I wanna walk the line,

Walk the line,

'Till the end of time,

I wanna love,

Love ya that much,

Cash it all in,

Give it all up,

When you're gone,

I wanna go too,

Like Johnny & June,

I wanna hold you baby right or wrong,

Build a world around a country song,

Pray a sweet prayer,

Follow you there,

Down in history,

I wanna love like Johnny & June,

Rings of fire burnin' with you,

I wanna walk the line,

Walk the line,

'Till the end of time,

I wanna love,

Love ya that much,

Cash it all in,

Give it all up,

When you're gone,

I wanna go too,

Like Johnny & June,

Like Johnny & June,

More than life itself,

No-one else,

This here is promise,

They don't make love like that anymore,

Is that too much to be askin' for,

I wanna love like Johnny & June,

Rings of fire burnin' with you,

I wanna walk the line,

Walk the line,

'Till the end of time,

I wanna love,

Love ya that much,

Cash it all in,

Give it all up,

When you're gone,

I wanna go too,

Like Johnny & June,

Like Johnny & June,

And when we're gone,

There'll be no tears to cry,

Only memories of our lives,

They'll remember, remember,

A love like that."

I love this song. A classic country song quoting the lines of Johnny Cash, referring to his love with June. It was a timeless romance that will never be forgotten, and what girl doesn't want a love like that? It's an awesome love song for country lovers and even people who enjoy other types of music, too. You need to be a classic country fan to understand it completely though.

This song makes me think of my current boyfriend, Mike. I want a love like that, and I feel like that's really what we have. I love that about us. "When you're gone, I wanna go, too." So true. Anybody in love or that's searching for love can really appreciate this song, no matter what genre you listen to.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

Say You'll Haunt Me

Stone Sour- Say You'll Haunt Me

Little supernovas in my head

Little soft pulses in my dead

Little souvenirs and secrets shared

Little off guard and unprepared 

I was never good enough to find

I was never bad enough to mind

In the middle I will do my best

Take me in your arms and leave the rest

I will give you anything to

Say you want to stay, you want me to

Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me

I want to know

I belong to you

Say you'll haunt me

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

Little variations on my page

Little doors open on my cage

Little time has come and gone so far

Little by little who you are

I can see the patterns on your face

I can see the miracles I trace

Symmetry in shadows I can't hide

I JUST WANT TO BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

I will give you everything to

Say you want to stay you want me too

Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me

I want to know I belong to you

Say you'll haunt me

Say you want to stay you want me too

Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me

I want to know I belong to you

Say you'll haunt me

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

I BELONG TO YOU

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

I BELONG TO YOU

Little supernovas in my head

Little soft pulses in my dead

Little souvenirs and secrets shared

Little off guard and unprepared

I will give you anything to

I will give you everything to

Say you want to stay, you want me too

Say you'll never die you'll always haunt me

I want to know I belong to you

Say you'll haunt me

Say you want to stay you want me too

Say you'll never die you'll always haunt me

I want to know I belong to you

Say you'll haunt me

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

I BELONG TO YOU

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

I BELONG TO YOU

~Stone Sour

This is a very interesting song for anyone who likes hard rock/metal with a bit of alternative flare. It's a love story, saying he doesn't want her to go. In my opinion it's like she's leaving him, whether dying or something else, but he doesn't want her to go and he's going crazy without her.

I personally enjoy this song for it's complicated and complexing lyrics, and it's beat heavy melody. It's just an overall good song, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

This song makes me feel a mix of emotions, from confusion to sadness and anger. I like to listen to this song when I go running because the beat keeps me on a good pace. Also the emotion of the song itself fuels my run. It just works for me.

Alright, well I hope you liked listening.

It's Been Awhile

Staind- It's Been Awhile

"And it's been awhile

Since I could hold my head up high

And it's been awhile

Since I first saw you

And it's been awhile

Since I could stand

On my own two feet again

And it's been awhile

Since I could call you

And everything I can remember

As fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I've rendered

I stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile

Since I can say

That I wasn't addicted

And it's been awhile

Since I can say

I love myself as well

And it's been awhile

Since I've gone and fucked things up

Just like I always do

And it's been awhile

But all that shit seems to disappear

When I'm with you

And everything I can remember

As fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I've rendered

I've gone and fucked things up again, again

Why must I feel this way?

Just make this go away

Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile

Since I could look at myself straight

And it's been awhile

Since I said I'm sorry

And it's been awhile

Since I've seen the way

The candles light your face

And it's been awhile

But I can still remember

Just the way you taste

And everything I can remember

As fucked up as it all may seem to be

I know it's me

I cannot blame this on my father

He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile

Since I could hold my head up high

And it's been awhile

Since I said I'm sorry"

~Staind

In honor of not having posted in forever, I decided to share with you this awesome song, titled It's Been Awhile by Staind. I had to put the swear words back into it. Even though he doesn't really say them in the video. Anyway, this song is great for people who like rock, but aren't really into hard rock. It's a sort of softer song full of regret and emotion. The message of the song is basically that this guy screwed up pretty badly, and he regrets whatever he did. He probably hates himself for it, and therefor he's saying "it's been awhile since I could look at myself straight." It's a great song, and you just have to listen to it to understand.

Hope you liked listening.

Breathe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69nOZkmfWxk&feature=related

"I can feel the magic floating in the air. Being with you gets me that way. I watch the sunlight dance across your face, and I've never been this swept away.
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze. When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms the whole world just fades away. The only thing I hear is the beating of your heart.
'Cause I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me, and suddenly I'm melting into you. There's nothing left to prove, baby, all we need is just to be. Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush. Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be? I can feel you breathe. Just breathe.
In a way I know my heart is waking up, as all the walls come tumbling down. Closer than I've ever felt before, and I know, and you know, there's no need for words right now.
'Cause I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me, and suddenly I'm melting into you. There's nothing left to prove, baby, all we need is just to be. Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush. Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be? I can feel you breathe. Just breathe.

Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush. Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be? I can feel you breathe. Just breathe.
I can feel the magic floating in the air. Being with you gets me that way..."

~Faith Hill.

Personally, I love this song. I have a necklace in the shape of a guitar pick that says "I can feel the magic floating in the air." and every time I wear it, it makes me think of my boyfriend. This song perfectly describes us, because frequently we just "be." He has this habit of just staring into my eyes, and I his. I don't understand the connection, but I don't need to. I'm perfectly happy with the way we are. The way we can just "be" and not have to say or do anything. We can just sit and stare at each other for hours.

This song is perfect for country fans or anyone who's in love. It describes love perfectly. You don't have to say or do anything, you just ARE and it's okay. They don't even have to say anything for you to know they love you. It's amazing. Mike and I are that way, and it's perfect. <3

Hope you liked listening.
