Would it be cliche to just post a list of song lyrics? Part II

I really almost could think of something more witty and thrilling to post today, I tried so hard. Then I remembered the massive amounts of biology and english homework I have, and realized I didn't want to use the energy I need to conserve for those when I already had a plan for today!

I promise, I'll be original tomorrow. Also, just like last time I will be using the lyrics from the albums, as those are the versions I have. :P There may be live versions with different lyrics.


Joseph Arthur - Tattoo: "I wonder what you must think about me. What I heard is you consider me dead. I guess that's fair of you, I never was good to you. I'm ashamed for making you feel all my pain. When I sleep, sometimes I still think we speak. Is it a dream, is it a dream?"

Camera Obscura - If Looks Could Kill: "Tell me where it all went wrong, maybe I can make it better. Tell me where it all went wrong, don't you know that you really upset her?"

The Postal Service - Nothing Better: "Tell me, am I right to think that there could be nothing better, than making you my bride and slowly growing old together. Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future, your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures."
sidenote about this song: the same lovely artist who I discovered Elliott Smith from? I found him through this.

Say Anything - A Walk Through Hell: "I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes, these soles are useless without you. Through hell for you, let the torturing ensure, my soul is useless without you."

Would it be cliche to just post a list of song lyrics? Part I

Yes, yes it would be. But that is not going to stop me, because all I want to do today is listen to music, feel angsty, and sleep. So now I will just post a line from a song, and the name of it, and the artist.

In interest to try to make this less catering to my own selfish boredom, I won't repeat artists, and I will pretend this is an experience of introducing you to new music. Really. And because of that, I won't even use their super obscure music... as much as I'd love to.

Tegan and Sara - Back in Your Head: "Build a wall of books between us in our bed, repeat, repeat the words I know we both said. Relax into the need, we get so comfortable. Remember when I was so strange and likeable?"

Joanna Newsom - Peach, Plum, Pear: "But it's late in the day, and you're well on your way. What was golden went gray, and I'm suddenly shy."

Elliott Smith - Angeles: "Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made. Go on lose thr gamble, that's the history of the trade. You add up all the cards left to play to zero. Sign up with evil, Angeles. Don't start me trying now. Because I'm all over it, Angeles. I could make you satisfied in everything you do. All your secret wishes could right now be coming true. Be forever with my poison arms around you."
Edit: Some versions of this song use "poison arms" and some use "broken arms". The album version is poison, that is what I quoted.

Sufjan Stevens - Chicago: "If I was crying, in the van, with my friend. It was for freedom, from myself and from the land. I made a lot of mistakes, I made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes, I made a lot of mistakes."

I have more. Really. I can sense this complete lack of creativity will be here tomorrow too. Stay tuned. <3

Weird musical taste the past week.

For the past week or so, I've been listening to different music than usual. I don't have any real reason for it, I just know I haven't turned on Joanna Newsom, or TV on the Radio, and even have listened to less Elliott Smith than should be healthy.

In fact, my musical taste has been strangely reminiscent to my music from junior high. (Other than wrock. I've been listening to a lot of wrock, but that is a very new addiction).

I should elaborate that a little. For most of the 9th grade, the only bands I would listen to were Armor for Sleep, Hawthorne Heights, and Within Temptation. However, once I started high school, their music faded to the background. They did each fade for different reasons though.

Hawthorne Heights was a little bit too...loud for me, I found. Armor for Sleep did as well, mostly since I was listening to acoustic type music. Within Temptation just felt a bit too dark. Hawthorne Heights also seemed a bit too dark.

Lately though, despite not feeling into dark-type music for years, I re listened to Within Temptation and fell back in love. From there, I went back through my old playlists, taking in a few of the songs. Hawthorne Heights was then fallen back in love with too.

As for Armor for Sleep... I used to write a lot of short stories. Like, way too many. I was going through them as well (I was in a reminiscent mood). I found one that I had written about the song The Truth About Heaven. For the record, the story was awful. Absolutely terrible. It was very apparent I had written it when I was 13. xD

I turned the song on while I read, and realized while my writing was terrible, the music wasn't. So I turned on all of the songs I had of theirs, and just remembered how amazing it is, and how deep their lyrics are. Really.

Which makes me a little curious. Has anyone else found themselves just going through music they haven't heard in years and loving it? Or have you gone back and wondered what you were thinking when you bought that stuff? I really would like to know if I'm in the minority.

In which high school is my own personal hell.

I really, really hate high school.

I wasn't this way at first. I spent the first half of grade ten trying my hardest to like it. I tried to make friends. I even tried to not want to smack everyone that pushed me in the hallways between class.

Really, that last thing is next to impossible when you need to go through the Intersection of Death to get to your lunch spot. I still tried!

However, after that first semester, it wasn't working. Infact, it was trying to make friends that ruined quite a few things, such as my boyfriend at the times life. (Really, that song that's like "Don't trust a ho" is so true).

So since then, I have made my personal stance on high school "this place really sucks." Honestly, it does suck. I don't like it at all. And everyday I'm stuck in here makes it even worse. Take today for example. I am in my creative writing class, and my teacher decides we all need a chance to get to know each other. I strongly disagree, so I turn my music up louder and continue working. It turns out we were going around the class and saying something about ourselves.

Needless to say, I did not respond when it got to me.

I wasn't the only one at least. My best friend (HI ERIN!) didn't either. Neither of us are game for that kind of bullshit.

After this lovely, super fun activity, I turn to her and tell her how much I thought that what just happened was painfully stupid. She agrees. The girl beside her, who is exactly the type of girl who has made the last 12 years of my schooling terrible, turns to us and says "Stop being dicks!"

...Excuse me? You want me to stop being rude, when all of you people have never, ever done a nice thing for me? Yeah, right. I'll get right on that.

So we just tell her no. And now I just remembered exactly why I hate high school.

Stupid little bitch.

Why I really wish I could vlog as well as blog.

I spend a lot of my time watching various people on YouTube. As a fun fact, I'm subscribed to 159 channels, with a combination of gaming channels, skit type channels, music channels and vlog channels. Nothing makes me happier though than seeing my favourite vloggers upload something.

I don't know why I like it so much. It just feels like a snapshot of somebody's life that you wouldn't know otherwise, and it is generally thrilling. I like it a lot.

As for why I can't do it, I'm painfully awkward in front of a camera. In fact, anyone who just knows me through the internet, they'd be shocked to meet me in real life, because I just find talking impossible. I'm just... awkward.

I really, really wish I could vlog.
