Day 389 - The Odds - The Last Drink

DAY 389
The Odds - "The Last Drink"
From "Good Weird Feeling"



This song just hits me in all the right ways, mainly because the lyrics are morbidly brilliant and touching in a strange way.

The song is about losing a friend and the way the character in the songs decided to handle that and saying goodbye. The last verse is truly my favorite because I could see me being this way if one of my friends passed.... sometimes it is just right or appropriate to be totally wrong and inappropriate... :) Read the lyrics... it is a fun read.

Carrying your ashes from bar to bar
I'm in a mess & you're in a Mason jar
With you under my arm like a football
I'm not ready to let go & that is all
you were never big on conversation and that hasn't changed since your cremation


And I feel most times like you do
You know I feel most times like you do


I wish that I was hardnosed
Fight a forest fire with a garden hose
And be brave enough right now to start on something new
You were right there in the urn light as a feather
If my hands weren't shaky I'd glue you back together
This watering hole was our favourite stop
So I'll take off the lid and pour a drink down the top, for you
And I'll pull down on that magic lever
That makes it stay the past forever


And I feel most times like you do
You know I feel most times like you do


Someone's stabbed my voodoo doll
Now it hurts each time that nature calls
And you're lucky that nature's finished calling out to you
You were down to your very last little belt loop
But you were tougher than a pitbull in the paratroops
And if you're afraid of getting hurt you suffer more ills
Like the hypochondriac who dies choking on his pills
So I should swallow really hard & deal with this pain
Cause I'm as wasted as a neatfreak in a hurricane


And I feel most times like you do
You know I feel most times like you do


I thought I was the one that died
And this was heaven's weird amusement ride
But you pinched me in the dream & I saw it wasn't true
So I'm dumping your ashes on the floor
And we'll laugh as people slip on you while coming in this door
And I'll drink on what you said to stop my feet draggin'
"No one dog's bark should ever stop the wagon

Day 388 - Ben Folds Five - One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces

DAY 388
Ben Folds Five - "One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces"
From "Whatever and Ever Amen"



So I have been BAD about getting my songs picked this month. I suck. :P

So I have become a big Ben Folds fan over the years and this is definitely one of his most shining moments for me.

"One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces" is such a lyrical masterpiece. This song is a ballad for the nerdy less popular folks in the world.... The track is pretty obviously a big middle finger towards to A-holes in school who make us all angry dwarfs. :P

Ben Folds is such a talented pianist as well. Check out the video and watch his crazy antics. I had never watched the video until today and enjoyed it thoroughly. :)

Day 387 - The Police - Every Breath You Take

DAY 387
The Police - "Every Breath You Take"
From "Synchronicity"



I was listening to this song on the way home from work and though I am not huge on a lot of 80's music this song is quite enjoyable to my ears.

Glenn and I were just chatting about how a lot of couples back when this song first came out danced to this at their weddings and made it "their song" and how the lead vocalist, Sting, found that odd as the song is not so much about being romantic and in love but more so about surveillance. :) That is pretty funny... :)

As far as what attracts me to this song.... I think it is the portion of the bridge where it appears to be more romantic...

"Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please.."

Something about using the word embrace.... sexy...

Day 386 - Marbles - Dracula

DAY 386
Marbles - "Dracula"




Back again.... sad that this is my first entry all month long... oh well.. that is the point of this experiment, pick a song when you are really feeling it... :)

So Glenn introduced me to this song and I am in love with it. It is fun and kicky and has awesomely smart and sassy lyrics. It is a little nerdy and a little odd. The hand clap sounds are awesome and add a lot to the fun!

"He's on the radio, he gives fellatio, to the radio programmers" is definitely the best line in my opinion... :)

Check out Marbles MySpace for more info and some more great music!
