Take Me to Church cover

Fall Out Boy covers the Jungle Book

This is such a strangely modern song

I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time

I don't wanna blow your phone up
I just wanna blow your mind
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take your time

Sam Hunt - Take Your Time

Freddie Mercury reborn: That dude from the Macklemore video

The Decembrists - Why Would I Now

Alessia Cara - Outlaws

Flashback: Platinum Blonde - Not in Love

I think this one holds up better than a lot of other 80s pop.

Head of the Herd - Ain't My Day

Gabrielle Goulet - Juste Toi

Hawksley Workman - Make Up Your Mind Tonight

Sam Fermin - Emily

Coffee - Miguel

Skrillex & Diplo with the Bieb

Thomas Rhett - Crash and Burn

John Legend & Jennifer Nettles - All of Me

Joss Stone - Stuck On You

Sinead O'Connor - Take Me to Church

I feel like I've posted this before. Ah well, just in case. Great song.

Seinabo Sey

This woman's pretty fuckin' A.

I can't keep track of all the "I will survive" type songs out these days

Leona Lewis - Thunder


Rachel Platten - Fight Song


Jessie J - Masterpiece


Well, hey, here's some more... make it a theme day:

Grace Jones 80s flashback

Lady Gaga - Till It Happens to You

You when you hear a song on the radio, but you're driving and you're not really listening to the lyrics, the song just sounds good?

And then you get home and watch the lyrics and it's about rape? (Well, it could be about other traumatizing events, but the video is very graphically about rape. But ends with some survivor bonding.)

Ack!

Young Galaxy - Factory Flaws (play the lyrics game!)

I tried working out the lyrics, since it hasn't been done online. See the stuff in bold if you want to help out! That last verse is just a hot mess, I can barely understand a thing.

 Update: I changed the lyrics still missing to xxx because sometimes it's easier when you don't first read someone else's preconceived and oh so wrong ideas.

RED = CORRECTIONS Thank-you Barb and my brother! Anyone else? Help!!

Update 2: As per my brother's brilliant solution, I wrote to the band on their facebook page and just remembered to check for a response. All lyrics now correct and accounted for!



You told me you were broken from the start
You used your hand to put mine to your heart
You said: I can't feel this
I'm not sure I exist

Spoke of all the trouble in your town
Too prevalent for you to step around
Forcing you to bury
A burden too heavy

You warned me of the potential cost
Of losing myself to those who are lost
I said it's much better
To be lost together

And devote ourselves to a dream
And never fall into routine
To keep our lines open
And live with what's broken

I know you're in pieces
I know I'm at sea
But something about you keeps calling to me
I know all your secrets
You know all of mine
The past is the past and it's better left behind

Your crooked paws

Your factory, factory flaws
Your highs your low

I love it all more than you know
Your whirl your woe
Your factory, factory clothes
Your crooked glow

I love it all more than you know

A still enjoyable oldie

From Corey Hart. Heard it on the radio one day and was like--Oh yeah, good song!

Gibraltar - Beirut

At work I use a French keyboard setting, so I can have easy access to è and é and so forth. But it's messing up my English typing! I keep mistaking where the apostrophe and question marks are.

My French is slowly improving, but really... rather than feeling like I'm improving, I tend to instead feel like my English is getting worse, and now I'm just mediocre in both languages!

Tanicka Charles - I Am Your Woman

Downtown - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (and a bunch of old school rappers and a Cher Dude)

You know, I'm not sure if I'm as much a Macklemore fan as I am a Ryan Lewis fan. What I love hard about this song is that chorus with the Cher-sound-alike. Lewis just makes really beautiful music.

Bryan Adams - Brand New Day

Corb Lund - Run This Town

Boy I really haven't been around! I think I've been pouring my extra energy into the ongoing task of getting this apartment back into shape.
