the worst of unmotivated weeks.

All of these songs jumped out at me this week for strange reasons in coffee shops, Tv, and parties... Innitialy I just liked the melodies. However, on a rare occasion I sat on my computer and googled the lyrics, they all freak me out how meaningful every single one of them is to my life right now. Amazing.

1. Time to move on -Tom Petty
2. Numb - Sia
3. Full Moon - The Black Ghosts
4. Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard
5. Standing in the sun - Howie Day
6. Just Wait - Blues Traveler

Meaningful song 4/13/09

Glen Hansard - Falling Slowly Lyrics

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Neighbor friend Mr. Kevin Cadogan from 3EB. a about a month ago


in person hes so shy, and so awkward..but of coarse like a true musician he comes alive when he performs. apparently he was the heart of third eye blind when they started, he wrote half of that huge first album third eye blind did. According to other neighbor friends of ours Kevin got in a tiff with lead singer Steven Jenkins, whom my brother says is &iqutoe a jackass. lol go figure. and please go listen to "chill" or "million times the sky". he is so talented; fucking weird that i babysit his girls and that he lives right across the street.

just found the meaning in this wonderful wonderful song...

Stop This Train by John Mayer

No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"

"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
stop this train by john mayer

And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"

Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

conclusion: keep moving forward. "thats life". must experience the tough to experience the wonderful .....

up where the answers fall like leaves...



"Going North" -Missy Higgins

I wanna dance the tango with chance
I wanna ride on the wire
Cause nothing gets done with dust in your gun
And nobody respects a liar
So goodbye for a while I'm off to explore
Every boundary and every door
Yeah.. I'm going north

I wanna know where children would go
If they never learned to be cool
cause nothing's achieved when pushed up a sleeve
Till nobody thinks you're a fool
So goodbye for a while I'm out to learn more
About who I really was before
Yeah.. I'm going north

Up where the hunted hide with ease
Under the arms of eye-less trees
Up where the answers fall like leaves
Oh and your love is all I need
Yeah ...I'm going north

(this song explains what went through my head when I decided to go north to Oregon for school. I wanted to get away from the catty people that thought they were cool, I wanted to explore every boundry and door, i wanted to dance the tango with chance, I wanted to go to a place where I could find the answers and truly find myself...where the answers would fall like leaves)
