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
