U in a Song 2. Songs that You dig on, but have no clue why. Its a Fun Game.

I was listening to this last night. Southern feels this.
Its Magnolia Electric Company, a great southwest alt country band that kicks ass.
Java it reminds me of your emotionally unavailable tude with wimminz.


something held me down and made me make a promise
that i wouldn't tell when the truth forgets about us
but saying it now comes easily
after finding out how you've been using me

at least the dark don't hide it (x4)

you said you only wanted friends for long enough
to get rid of them
you found the kind you knew would only kill you
so you surrounded yourself with them

at least the dark don't hide it (x4)

the world was empty on the day when they made it
but heaven needed someplace to throw all the shit
human hearts and pain should never be separate
the wouldn't tear themselves apart both trying to fit-

This just sounds live your general vibe, I mean its kinda jaded, but it moves on.
at least the dark don't hide it (x4)

now death is goning to hold us up in the mirror
and say we're so much alike we must be brothers
see i've had a job to do but people like you
have been doing it for me to one another

at least i don't hide it (x4)

I mean the song is so like righteous, and it even convinces you that it has a point.
Anyway Java it reminds me of ya.

I love Ugly Cassanova, a side project of Modest Mouse.
This song reminds me of just WalliWalbus being a guide and you just following, and, the ironical thing is the cultural change happens to us, and we don't notice it, cause the knowledge we rely on in the technological model, makes you forget the past. It encourages this phenomenon. I always picture Walli as that Avi Beaver. I always picture him as this:

Just pointing out how fucked up everything is today. He's the voice of reason. The irony of this vision is that he is supposed to be the strange one, yet his voice and questioning takes you out of the familiar, and you see how really strange we all have become. How the norm has become 'weird'.


things i don't remember
how the hell'd we get here?
how the hell did we get here?
things i don't remeber
dressed up alligators
how the hell'd we get here?

things i don't remember
there were dressed up alligators
there was come on the piano
disco dancin' neighbors
who were born in mashed potatoes
caught with our pants down
hidin' in the dollhouse
figured out what we're good for
you're the sailor and i'm your port
things i don't remember
we undressed for the tailor
the skin was lightly salted
opened up a can of loud mouth malted
high-fives in your eyes
push the gas and now i'm kissin' good-byes
looking for a purpose
how the hell'd we get here?
I so can see Walli Saying this.
Especially the last two phrases.



there were things i don't remember
there were messed up alligators
there we endless conversations
no one's mouths were really moving
all that dust was overflowing
all my mellow-bellied temptations
I totally can just hear Walli pointing out how shallow and caught up in appearances we all are.
things i don't remember (x21)

figured out what i'm good for making anything look better
how the hell could our neighbor?
even then i was a sailor
there were jokes that didn't land
every end was too diciple in sand

ALL I NEED IS ONE LIFE, ONE TRY, ONE BREATH I'M ONE MAN
WHAT I STAND FOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical
Talkin all that slick shit, the same way these bitches do
Wonder what my secrets is, niggaz'll move on you
only if they know, what your weakness is I have none
Too late to grab guns I'm blastin cause I'm a cool nigga
Thought I wouldn't have that ass done? Fooled you niggaz
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin
War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Complete with thick scars, brothers knifin each other
up in prison yards, drama, where does it start?
You know the block was ill as a youngster
Every night it was like a, cop would get killed body found in the dumpster
For real a hustler, purchased my Range, niggaz throwin dirt on my name
Jealous cause fiends got they work and complain
Bitches left me cause they thought I was finished
Shoulda knew she wasn't true she came to me when her man caught a sentence
Diamonds are blindin, I never make the same mistakes
Movin with a change of pace, lighter load, see now the king is straight
Swellin my melon cause none of these niggaz real
Heard he was, tellin police, how can a kingpin squeal?
This is crazy, I'm on the right track I'm finally found
You need some soul searchin, the time is now

All I need is one mic.. yeah, yeah yeah yeah

You got my k message right? Its so fucking true. You feel me.

This is the sickest part of that song, I mean just him droppin numbers and lyrics... fucking sick.

All I need is one blunt, one page, and one pen
One prayer - tell God forgive for one sin
Matter fact maybe more than one, look back
at all the hatred against me, fuck alla them
Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you
Nice fucking pick MW.

 

[walliwalibus]

Wow, that kinda hit a home run....... over the wall and up in the stands, and some little boy caught it and took it in as if it were all his own. Nice.... Your observations are wild and obscure, yet when really thought about..... (repeat the paragraph)

Okay last night I bumped into my Ex and we hit it off. It got like dangerous. I dodged a bullet, but put an end to her shit talking bout me. I hate shit talkers post any kinda relationship. I mean grow up and move, ya know? Anyway She was a big Counting Crows fan, and I did dig them, I grew up with them, but didn't really listen to them after like 97 or whatever. Anyway, yeah this is a shout out to her and someone who reminds me of her, Now that I think bout it, they could've been soul twins. Both assertive, driven, kinda cold, but sexy as hell.



She comes out on Fridays every time
Stands out in a line
I could have been anyone she'd seen
She waits another week to fall apart
She couldn't make another day
I wish it was anyone but me
I could have been anyone you see
She had something breakable just under her skin
I love this line cause its so them, not nearly as tough as they pretend, so fragile underneath the surface.
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my head
Making me feel so incredible
I can't lie, she did make me feel to just be the man, ya know.
She comes out of closets every night
But then she locks herself away
Where she could keep everything from me
I could have been anyone you see
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin

American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my head
Making me feel so incredible

Little shiver shaking me everyday
But I could get this same thing anywhere
So if she goes away
Well, it's alright and I'm ok
Hey, she said come back again tonight
And I said, I might, I might, I might
She said, well that's alright
If it's alright, it's alright with you
If it's alright, if it's alright with me

I waited for an hour last Friday night
She never came around
She took almost everything from me
I'm going through my closets
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday
Here He is talking bout trying to figure out what she is thinking. Good way to put it.
I could have been anyone you see
I wish it was anyone but me
Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin
Lipoflame and Weed...lol

American girls are weather and noise
So fucking true. I love em though.
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible

If I make you cry, you tell me why
I'll try again, if you'll let me try

American girls are feathers and cream
Coming to bed so edible

American girls, oh
American girls
American girls
Oh, oh, oh, oh

American girls, oh
American girls
American girls
Oh, oh, oh, oh

You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
Yeah, you made me cry
You made me cry
Hey, Miss American Girl
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

ha! Its kinda funny if you listen to that song while watching the gif in your signature.

So last night, high and happy that I got a coveted TA project that fell into my lap through some synchronicity, I was reading this excerpt on language, and it blew me away, cause I've just sensed for awhile with the rise in technology, and how fast the nature of our reality is kinda changing, we are now like living in a cultural atmosphere where simple words and labels can no longer adequately identify our reality. Like how do you explain the internet? Its not a location. Its like asking if space gets wet when it rains, ya know?

So this thought led me to the next one of thinking of songs that I dig on, am unsure of what the content is specifically referring too, but just for some reason, the combination of emotional expression, the backbeat, voice, and overall feel is like inviting, pacifying, and I feel understood or relate to that sound, and am unsure exactly why.

So I started listening to some songs that I grew up with and always felt like really close too, but always unsure why. I will go later, as mine are prodigiously long, but make for good stories. But yeah, the stories that came up, like just revealed so much of me to me. Anyway, post whatever song you dig on are unsure why, or what they mean and we both can have some fun like seeing ourselves reflected through the metaphor of music. Its like a house of mirrors, but the images aren't distorted.

ok, well I'm sure exactly why, but I've always liked this song a lot.

Hey what is up Crazy Joe, love the location, yeah no pain there... lol
Yeah, I don't know U, obviously, but I kinda get the feel that you dig on your solitude, and while you are pretty much a laid back dude, once your fuse is lit, well some crazy shit happens... I dunno, great song though. I do dig on the Skynrd. Always reminds me of highschool though. Had a friend who dug on them alot, and would listen to them before our football games though... I know, such a prosaic anecdote, but yeah, it is.
