Mini Videos and Lyrics Session V- Mutineers--Indiana



Indiana
All those anti war hippie kids who cry for life, but don't give a shit
they organize their sit ins wearing flowered shirts and peace sign pins
while the children who have courage are far across the sea
I wish that I was like them, unfortunately I can't be

Singing songs like Indians or make that Native Americans
You can't open your mouth today without starting a protest parade
or inciting one more riot, "I'm just trying to fight it"
and now I'll close my eyes, and in disappear into my best disguise

Do razor blades and shotgun shells decay
Ungrateful little children run and play
Today we're all ok
Today we're all ok
Today we are ok

Caught up in middle America our dreams won't lead us out of here
watch the current of the river, its steady flow will live forever
like the men who came before us, singing backup in the chorus
I'll lead the charge as we push along and I'll light the match at the fireworks display

Buildings crumble to the ground like clay
Brick by brick we'll build them back to stay

Today we're all ok
Today we're all ok
Today we are ok

Mini Videos and Lyrics Session IV-Ce N'est Rien--I Didn't Come Here To Lose

Another installment of our award winning series Mini Videos and Lyrics.  Here you go...one take from Ce N'est Rien.  Song is I Didn't Come Here to Lose




I DIDNT COME HERE TO LOSE

I looked my old life in the face
It smiled back and got its way
It's just a fever it'll pass but it still hurts all the same

Screw the note screw the key
There is no one here but me,
  And I didnt come here to lose

I held your hand and then your shoe
You left so fast I thought you flew
I try to forget the kiss and harness the excuse
Why you said your tongue was fused to mine:
  'Still had that accent to lose
  And the South to leave behind

And "I'm sorry I'm leaving, dont you know I live my whole life acting out?
I'll dream about you wherever I can..."

Just got too darn real for you now
Go the way of all my dancing girls
I hope you find what you're looking for,
  I'm sure you lost a few steps
  Spinning in circles on the floor

You trust me, dont you?...

I spent all my good years in a bath
I first had you go in, I first had you goin'
My skin has shriveled up into ash--

Let's go towards the light and try to smoke it
I will be born again in your lungs and in your breath I withhold from you

I give and give as you take
I made the choice sun-blackeyed-burned
I wont be coming back for what you keep trying to...
  It's like you're trying to lose

  I didnt come here to lose...

Adele Tiny Desk Concert

I usually don't care too much about singers with great voices.  At least conventionally great voices.  I don't know what about Adele's voice that is so great but its pretty amazing.  The first song is why I am posting this and if that song was 30 minutes long it would still be too short.  Have a listen.

A Couple Great Songs To Welcome You Back To Work

Here are a couple of songs for your first day back after a long 4th of July weekend.  I don't think you will be able to listen to these songs just once.  I haven't been able to stop listening to them today.  They are great catchy songs.

Song/Video #1 Abducted by Cults
I'm addicted to this song and am probably going to buy this album tomorrow
Have a couple listens


Song/Video #2 We Sing In Time-The Lonely Forest
Good catchy pop song.  I like it.


Enjoy it
