caramelldansen - supergott

"caramelldansen" is the first track of swedish group caramell's album supergott. [bubblegum dance]

this song has become very popular as an internet meme that began in 4chan. like most internet memes of this sort (such as the leek and the hamster dance), "caramelldansen" has a video made with the speedycake remix and flash animation with characters from japanese pc game popotan.

bubblegum pop is annoying to listen to for too long but is also generally extremely catchy; therefore, "caramelldansen" is much a favourite of mine, not to mention the fact that it is swedish. an english version of the song has been made, called "caramel dancing" or "caramelldancing". naturally, the content deviates some from the original lyrics, but the sound is much the same. both the original and remixed version are good, though after listening to the decidedly more upbeat remix, it is hard to slow back down for the original, which is good in itself. all videos are done with the speedycake remix.

mostly the lyrics are composed of people inviting others to join them and dance...

*twitch* cannot find original version. all speedycake remixes.

also available is a piano instrumental which has a very different mood from the original, sounding almost romantic as opposed to cute.

Vi undrarar ni redo alt vara med
Armarna upp nu ska ni fa se
Komigen
Vem som helst kan vara med
So ror pa era fotter
O-a-a-a!
Och vicka era hofter

Sa ror pa era fotter

Miss inte chansen
Nu ar vi har med Caramell Dansen!

daddy dj - daddy dj

"daddy dj" is the debut single by daddy dj, consisting of david le roy and jean-christophe belval, based off paris, france. [dance/electro/pop]

if you listen to basshunter, you should recognize "daddy dj" right off from the start, from which "vi sitter i ventrilo och spelar dota" got its melody, in the main chorus of the song.

the song seems to feature - father and son? or is it really? either way, i'm not putting too much speculation to it at the moment.

listening to "daddy dj" and daddy dj's songs in general is faintly reminiscent of sarina paris and other past music i've listened to, perhaps tiësto, perhaps hixxy...dance songs. it's alluring and rather addicting, with just the slightest dash of daft punk. as a fan of basshunter, sarina paris, and a few songs by the aforementioned djs, it's hard not to like "daddy dj".

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party
And let me dance along, until the lights are on

You leave me once again home alone
The fridge is full but my heart is achin'
You think I can make it on my own
Just a kiss and you are gone

Another night like a million before
Another party where I'm not invited
As always you'll heat the dance floor
In front of your turntables going mad

Why don't you keep me close to you
I'm not anymore the kid you knew
Why should I stay deep in the blue
I wanna move my body too

(Chorus)
Daddy DJ, please take me to the party
And let me dance along, until the lights are on
Daddy DJ, please take me to the party
And let the music play, until the break of day

We've been aside since I meant to be
A part of you that was just awaking
My life with you is a fantasy
I am your prince and you are my king

You say your thing drives sometimes you insane
You think you're no good father and so you're ashamed
But all I want is to share your pain
Clubbin' the night along and having fun

Why don't you keep me close to you
I'm not anymore the kid you knew
I wanna feel this part of you
I wanna move my body too

(Chorus, x2)

Daddy DJ
Daddy DJ

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party
And let me dance along, until the lights are on

it's your life - francesca battistelli

"it's your life" is the tenth track on the album my paper heart by christian artist francesca battistelli. [contemporary christian music]

francesca grew up in a family very involved with music and the stage, and loved it from the first. on her style of music, which is a blend of ccm, soul, and pop: "I really longed to bring something authentic to the [Christian music] scene that even non-Christians could listen to."

"it's your life" was used as the music backing for a compilation of shots put together into a video for the camp i just attended. it was shown on the last night as a video to give people an idea of some of the highlights of the camp and what we girls did. i liked the song and came back and looked it up and only now realized i probably could have found the name in the program instead of taking forever and a day to find the right song online.

in this song, i'd actually thought the singer was male...from listening to this, francesca doesn't have a very obviously feminine voice, but i haven't heard any of her other songs, so i can't say.

the meaning in the song is fairly clear and mentions choices in your life, to live life as you and to stand up for the things you believe in. however you act reflects what you believe, and the world will see that.

i like the song. i think i might incorporate it into "hell's angel" some way, as in perhaps a soundtrack for a chapter.

This is the moment
It’s on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle between
Wrong and right
But you know after all

(Chorus)
It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life

Are you who you always said you would be?
With a sinking feeling in your chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me when did you forget

(Chorus)

To live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
To let your life be one that lights the way

(Chorus)

i'm so sick - flyleaf

"i'm so sick" is a single by flyleaf and also the first track on the album flyleaf of all releases except for the dvd. [rock, alternative metal]

not sure why i couldn't come up with a proper explanation to the lyrics last time i tried. it's not that hard. they're/she's tired of the way things are. corrupted, wrong...the "you" seems to be sin in some form. this isn't a shallow song, per se - there's just not much to go into in depth. that was probably why i didn't use it.

flyleaf doesn't like to be labelled as a christian rock band...so they're just a band. it just so happens that they're all christians. lead singer is lacey mosley, who has an okay voice that is redeemed by the fact that she can scream when she has to.

it's a pretty good song. i looked it up a while after taylor and vasya first mentioned it, and now there are several flyleaf songs i'm pretty fond of. this is one of them.

I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now

Hear it! I'm screaming it!
You tremble at this sound

You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so
I'm so sick

ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge - guo mei mei

"爱是你眼里的一首情 (ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge)" is the first track on guo mei mei's album 不怕不怕. [mandarin pop/mandopop]

this song i heard about from dave. i'm pretty much hooked. i like both the original and the central seven radio remix, the latter more maybe because it's more upbeat and more techno-ish.

this song isn't too hard to sing. enunciation and everything is pretty clear.

lose yourself - eminem

"lose yourself" is the first song on the 8 mile soundtrack, also a single, by eminem. [rapcore]

now i get one part of a robot chicken episode where bugs bunny has to rap and chokes. from the movie "8 mile".

this is, despite the few swear words which i don't begrudge him, is very good, even the meaning. it also has a very negative sound. the beginning lines sound angry in an almost sarcastic way.

if a lot of eminem's songs are like this, i commend him. the rhyming and rhythm is amazing, how even reading the lyrics aloud does not bring out the full potential in this where eminem stresses different words and chops apart words to bring out the pattern and rhythm and beat.

it's quite catchy, and i like this one a good deal, despite the fact that it's rap. i don't hate all rap.

and just for the record, i really do believe it says "rhapsody" instead of "rap shit". that just don't sound right.

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

[Hook]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

i don't know - erika

"i don't know" is a popular dance song by italian artist erika. [eurodance]

erika de bonis is an italian artist, whose bio was not easy to find. at all. and a correct version of her lyrics was - ugh. some people need their hearing checked.

her songs became very popular in some dance clubs. i was introduced to this song by dave, and i like the lyrics, provided what i hear are the right ones. took me ages to find ones that sounded right, too. stupid weird versions floating around on the web with syllables that don't even match. the lyrics are pretty applicable to anyone, i think, and i was told to look up the lyrics...they're very general, but very common.

this is the best version i've found. since erika is italian, her pronunciation is a bit off and "world" to me always sounds like "word", but if it is "word" and by it she means "love", then that works quite well for me. and, aside from having good lyrics, the bpm of this song is such that it makes for a brisk walk, very precisely, not too fast.

I am not a baby, anymore
I am not as innocent, as before
I see it in the mirror, in my room
And I can feel it stronger, in my soul

But I am not so ready,
for this world
Now I see things I didn't,
see before
I need an explanation,
tell me more
Why I'm in love now,
I don't know

How can I live forever?
I don't know
Where can I find the heaven?
I don't know
What is going to happen
I don't know
Why I'm in love now
I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Why I'm in love now
I don't know

I live it through my diary
and I read
That all my little problems
Now are big
I want to live my feelings
Day by day
I let you give emotions
In my way

But I am not so ready
for this world
Now I see things I didn't
see before
I need an explanation
tell me more
Why I am in love now
I don't know

How can I live forever?
I don't know
Where can I find the heaven
I don't know
What is going to happen
I don't know
Why I'm in love now
I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

killin' me - faber drive

"killin' me" is the sixth track on seven second surgery by faber drive. [pop rock]

another song i like off this album. and i hope the contents of this song are something genuinely experienced by a band member, to make it all that more real and them all that more human, not just singing about something common but that they haven't experienced, because it does a good job of expressing extreme frustration over a girl who's just being a total tease.

i mean, "when will i win?" kinda probably means he wants to score and sleep with her, so morals, iffy, but still very real. a note to flirty girls. be nice. ha ha.

having been so enthralled with imeem for its consistent sound, i had forgotten for a while that youtube also has songs for linking to that imeem may not have full versions for. youtube, you're back in the business!

She takes me to the edge
This waiting, so frustrating
She puts me to the test
To break me
She takes me round and round
When will I win?

(All right, here we go again)

Oh no, here we go
She's killin' me
(All right, here we go again)
I can't say no
I can't believe she's killin' me
Teasin' me again
Why does she play with me
(Why does she play with me?)
Like it's just pretend?
She pulls away from me
(She pulls away from me)
Oh no, killin' me again

Her kiss is just like wine
Intoxicating, just maybe
She'll give me more this time
Cause I'm cravin' what she's savin'
Round and round
When will I win?

(Alright, here we go again)

Oh no, here we go
She's killin' me
(All right, here we go again)
I can't say no
I can't believe she's killin' me
Teasin' me again
Why does she play with me
(Why does she play with me?)
Like it's just pretend?
She pulls away from me
(She pulls away from me)
Oh no, killin' me again, again...

She takes me to the edge
This waiting, so frustrating
She puts me to the test
To break me, she takes me
Her kiss is just like wine
Intoxicating, just maybe
She'll give me more this time
Cause I'm cravin' what she's savin'

Oh no, here we go
She's killn' me
(All right, here we go again)
I can't say no
I can't believe she's killin' me
Teasin' me again
Why does she play with me
(Why does she play with me?)
Like it's just pretend?
She pulls away from me
(She pulls away from me)
Oh no, killin' me again

Oh no. Here we go
She's killin' me
(Killin' me again)
I can't say no
I can't believe she's killin' me
Teasing me again
Why does she play with me
(Why does she play with me?)
Like it's just pretend?
She pulls away from me
(She pulls away from me)
Oh no, killin' me again

sleepless nights (never let her go) - faber drive

"sleepness nights (never let her go)" is the fifth track on faber drive's seven second surgery album and is also a released 2008 single. [pop rock]

marvellous song. number one, of several punk/pop/rock boy bands i've listened to, faber drive rawks. state of shock isn't bad, but that's not what this is about, now, is it? naw. (anyhow, simple plan is kinda whiny now. oddly enough, one or two songs by faber drive sound a little like simple plan, so much so that once i labelled a song as simple plan because it sounded so much like them.)

the song's content is very obvious. and i so want to make a music video for it. it's sad, a bit heart-wrenching, and makes well for mental imagery for stories. it's really about the parents. but i'm sure it could be tweaked. and the emotion's sort of the same, a bit. i've tried the "cornering" bit. didn't work. maybe i should attack my brother instead of my mom all the time. but whoa, i'm supposed to be in a good mood right now.

anyhow, definitely one of my favourites. love it. (ha ha, there's that word, love.) but seriously, sweet song. shoulda talked about it way earlier than now. not that seven posts is very much, for all my supposed addiction to music. ah yes, that's why i don't post. too busy listening. well, some, like this one, are actually meaningful, real-life songs, so.

actually, i think it has to be said that the overall sound of this song can be rather depressing. just to...put that out there.

Another sleepless night
I'm still starin' at the ceiling
I can hear him fightin'
With her for no good reason
Will this ever end?
Will this house be a home again?
If I had my way
I'd corner him and say

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
Screwin' up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever

Another day goes by
And nothing changed, he's still the same
I can hear her cryin'
Thinkin' she's the one to blame
Will this ever end?
Will this house be a home again?
If I had my way
I'd corner him and say

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition

Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
Screwin' up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go

Screwin' up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Another sleepless night
Nothing changed, he's still the same
Another stupid fight
And someone's gotta say

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
Screwin' up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go

hands on me - vanessa carlton

"hands on me" is the second track of vanessa carlton's most recent album heroes and thieves. [pop]

the song seems to sound a bit like wishful thinking for vanessa, but that doesn't detract from the sound of the song itself, which i like a good deal (or else it wouldn't be up here). the majority of songs on this album are more preferable than past albums.

"hands on me" has a wistful sound to it and i think some people have hinted that "just put your hands on me" is a sexual reference, but i don't really agree with that.

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me
I lay awake at night for you
And I pray

We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met and still I cross the street to your door

We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
1,000 years they'll be singing
Nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah, nah

We'll climb Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I'll see the Dali Lama
I'll feel him blessing me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
Your hands on me...

First saw you at the video exchange
