Day 28 - A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty

...

I'm sorry that I haven't posted lately.

Exam are done now!

I was able to dig out my computer from underneath my school supplies.

And I still can't think of anything for this post...

...

A bit of a fail...

Gah!  I can't think of anything so I'll just post a song that I like!

Hummingbird -- Wilco

His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her

She appears in his dreams
But in his car and in his arms
A dream can mean anything
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
But he never could

Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird

His goal in life was to be an echo
The type of sound that floats around and then back down
Like a feather
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans
No one could hear him
Or anything

So he slept on a mountain
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars
He would lie awake and count them
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way
Would never let him
Die alone

Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird

Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird

A hummingbird
A hummingbird 

I love this song!  I hope you do too!

Day 27 - A Song You Wish You Could Play

Sorry that I didn't post yesterday... I was studying for my social studies exam (that I wrote today) and then I had Karate.
I can't think of any songs that I want to play, at least nothing comes to mind at the moment.
...
*thinks hard*
I know!  "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica!  On acoustic guitar!  (learning guitar slowly on my own)

Nothing Else Matters
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters 


I hope you like it!

Day 25 - A Song That Makes Me Laugh

If you want to laugh at a song, listen to any Arrogant Worms song, they're a comedy group.  Well... another song that came to mind is actually an ACDC song, if you think about it (and if you're teenager with their mind in the gutter like, sadly, me) then you'll think of the same song
...
Figure it out yet?  Gah!  I know patience is a virtue, but I can't wait.  I'll just tell you.
"Big Balls".
Yes.
THAT song.
I love the word notoriety that he uses at the beginning... he sounds so smart...
Then he starts singing about his balls.
...
Well here you go!  "Big Balls" by ACDC.

*too stunned by lyrics to post them*


I hope that you like the song!  See you tomorrow!
