If I only could, I'd make a deal with god

Work... 
I'm so tired...
I've eitther biked or walked everywhere for the past few days...
the weather is getting worse...
My rice turned out too salty...
I'm going to enjoy my soft bed...
-_-


Now to more important things, today's post!  I thought that I'd talk about the song I chose for day 19, "Running up that hill" by Kate Bush. (yes I am Canadian and it IS spelt favourite)

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, It's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, There is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones who love?
Tell me we both matter don't we?

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin'
Let's exchange the experience oh...

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

Say, If I only could...
Oh...
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

If only I could,
Be running up that hill...


There are many ways to interpret this song, going as far from simply relationship issues to female orgasms(?!?!?!?!).  Look here to see all the different point of views.  They are all good and most are well defended.  I like one from another site about the relationship issues where Kate wants to switch places with her partner so he can understand how he is hurting her (not the revenge one).  I also agree with the one featuring Kate being dead and her partner suffering to the loss of his loved one (from the first site given).  I think that there isn't one simple meaning to this song because of it's depth.  Shallow songs are easily explained, others are deep, vast and complex.


I hope that you like the song!

Leave me something to breathe!

Hello!  I'm sorry that I don't post enough....
It was a nice day...
I was at the beach yesterday...
I was walking around shooping and biking today....
I also did some gardening....
Where I live you have to suck up all the summer possible because it's winter for nine months of the year...
I CAN'T SPEND ALL MY TIME ON THE COMPUTER!!!!!!! >.<
So if I don't post as much for the next two months, you understand why.

Anyways, today I chose a song from my day 10 post, A Song I Fall Asleep To.  I can fall asleep to them not because they're boring, but rather because they're soothing.  The song from the post that I'm going to talk about is "Breathing" by Kate Bush.  When I first heard this song, I thought that it was so beautiful, much like Kate's other songs on her albums.  I soon learnt that this one like others have very dark meaning to them.  If a child in her mother's womb was capable of speaking, this is what she would cry out if her mother was a smoke addict.  The toxic fumes from the cigarette makes it's way to the child, smothering her completely.  She is incapable of breathing.  The is nothing TO breath but smoke.  She wants to be able to breath.  She wants to live.

Outside
Gets inside
Through her skin.
I've been out before
But this time it's much safer in.

Last night in the sky,
Such a bright light.
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep

Breathing,
("Out, in, out, in, out, in...")
Breathing it in,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing it in,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing it in,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in.

We've lost our chance.
We're the first and the last, ooh,
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.

I love my
Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.
You and me
Knew life itself is

Breathing,
("Out, in, out, in, out...")
Breathing it in,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing it in,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing it in,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out...
("Out!")

"In point of fact it is possible to tell the
("Out!")
difference between a small nuclear explosion and
a large one by a very simple method. The calling
card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that
is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter
even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration
of this flash that we are able to determine the size
("What are we going to do without?")
of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be
seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust
and living things around the area of the explosion,
and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable
as the familiar "mushroom cloud". As a demonstration
of the flash duration test let's try and count the
number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very
small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized
bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful,
"high-yield" bombs

"What are we going to do without?"
Ooh please!
"What are we going to do without?"
Let me breathe!
"What are we going to do without?"
Ooh, Quick!
"We are all going to die without!"
Breathe in deep!
"What are we going to die without?"
Leave me something to breathe!
"We are all going to die without!"
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
"What are we going to do without?"
Oh, God, please leave us something to breathe!
"We are all going to die without"
Oh, life is--Breathing.


Another dark side to this song seems to be about nuclear after maths.  Perhaps a nuclear war took place either recently and life is quickly, or it's been years and people are still suffering.  It could also be the after maths of a n explosion that let off some radiation, but was too small to be considered a nuclear bomb.  All the same, people are suffering no matter the size of the explosion is.


I hope you like the song!

Moi qui suis dans mon rêve, t'entends ma chérie? (Day 30)

Here's something a bit different for the last post of this challenge, last year I went through a faze where I listened to A LOT of J-POP.  J-POP is Japanese pop music, and I mostly listened to Kanon Wakeshima.  Here is the song that I liked the most

Here are the lyrics in English, the words in quotations are sung in French, the rest is Japanese:

Lolitawork Libretto
"I in my dreams"
A girls mechanism
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Of a music box
"I in my dreams"
In a picture book
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Waits for her

It's a crescent moon tonight
The scent of peppermint
Softly, the city lights
Adorn the lace dress
The dripping moon
Drops into darkness
Stops time

"The girlish mechanism of a clock's been stolen"
「Is the girl in her?」
"Turn back time"
「Listen carefully to the music box」

A magical carriage stops before her
What kind of world will it take her to?

"I in my dreams"
A girls mechanism
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Of a music box
"I in my dreams"
In a picture book
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Waits for her

"Hurry"
Meaningless play
"Silence"
A waltz that buzzes in my ear
"Help"
A fantasy from which there is no return
"Stop!"
She can't hear
"Wake up"

A sky sparkling with diamonds
A castle of vanilla cream
The speed of the wheel quietly
Make a noise on the rails of the clock's second hand

A magical country spreads before her eyes
What world will she become a part of?

"I in my dreams"
A girls mechanism
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Of a music box
"I in my dreams"
In a picture book
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Is her

"I in my dreams"
A girls mechanism
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
The hand of the clock
"I in my dreams"
In a picture book
"My beloved, can you hear me?"
Remains unmoving

"Hurry"
Meaningless play
"Silence"
A waltz that buzzes in my ear
"Help"
A fantasy from which there is no return
"Stop!"
She can't hear
"Wake Up"

"Hurry"
Meaningless play
"Silence"
A waltz that buzzes in my ear
"Help"
A fantasy from which there is no return
"Stop!"
She can't hear
"Wake up"
Wake Up

「Wake Up」

I hope you've all enjoyed the songs that I've posted for this challenge.  You'll see them again in greater depth sometime soon, until then, see you all later!!!!!!

Day 29 - A Song From My Childhood

I'll get right to the point because I don't have much time, and I want to finish this challenge!  A song from my childhood, "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young.  That's the first one that came to mind.

Cinnamon Girl
I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah. 


I'm almost done the challenge!  I hope you enjoy the songs that I post!
