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

iris - goo goo dolls

"iris" is the eleventh track on dizzy up the girl by the goo goo dolls, and written for the city of angels soundtrack. [punk rock]

i believe i first looked up the song after seeing an avatar with a quote from the song: "when everything feels like the movies, you bleed just to know you're alive." the lyrics appealed, so i looked it up.

i thought a good part of the lyrics applied during the few months after course selections in grade ten and i realized i was not allowed to continue band. therefore, there are strong associations to that time and feeling when i listen to the song. which is why it makes me rather masochistic to always pull it up and listen to it, especially these few days.

sick, eh?

the theme of "iris" ties into the movie it was made for, in which an angel falls in love with a mortal woman and has to decide whether or not to give up his angelic nature and become human to be with the woman. that sounds an awful lot like a story i was going to write. huh. guess i can't now.

don't know why i keep listening to this over and over again. has a tendency to make me cry.

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.

i bring it to you - jessica andrews

"i bring it to you" is the fifth track of now by jessica andrews. [country]

i saw the cd in the library and thought her name seemed a little familiar, even if it was country, and i decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to try some country, so with both those thoughts, i took it out.

jessica andrews was born in tennessee and made her debut at 15. she learned of her passion for singing when she sang "i will always love you" in a talent show in grade four.

i am listening to the cd for the first time. there is a slight hint of country in her songs, but for the most part, a lot of it seems like pop-rock.

the beginning of "i bring it to you" reminds me very very much of "iris" by the goo goo dolls. speaking of which...ha, band... the song seems to indicate a girl giving so many parts of her life to someone... some of her songs indicate a GOD or a maker. probably the reason this song stuck out enough for me to listen to and like is because of the chording that resembles "iris". i don't usually pick up on a song on the first run through a cd.

All of these words on paper
All of these thoughts in my head
Deals I've made with the maker
The need that sleeps in my bed

All of these stones in my pocket
Daydreams I've left on the shore
The jagged half of a locket
I lay it all at your door

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

Songs I've shouted to heaven
Secrets I've kept in a box trust never given
Keys that don't fit

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

But more than anything
I bring you love, I bring you love

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
I bring it to you

a thousand miles - vanessa carlton

"a thousand miles" is the third track of be not nobody and also a 2002 single by vanessa carlton. [piano pop]

vanessa carlton is a soft rock/piano pop artist. she started interest in music at a young age and has also taken ballet in her younger years. she refers to herself as being jewish.

i had previously heard of vanessa carlton but had not shown any interest until i heard "a thousand miles" played by karmiela in info tech for a sound editing project. i started liking a fair amount of carlton's songs from there. "a thousand miles" will stay an i.t. song. grace did a pretty good job of singing. i also have a piano score for this song.

the lyrics are fairly cliché in the romantic genre, but the song is catchy and sounds nice, and i like it.

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight

bu pa bu pa - guo mei mei

"bu pa bu pa" is the second single by guo mei mei. [mandarin pop/mandopop]

jocie kok is a chinese-singaporean singer, also known as jocie guo or guo mei mei (郭美美). "bu pa bu pa" is a mandarin version of "dragostea din tei" by o-zone; the words "bu pa" (不怕) mean "not afraid", and the song is about fear. that's the best i can do considering i don't read chinese, and three translations of the chinese is not enough for me to verify what the song is about aside from perhaps overcoming fear.

personally she does not sound good in this song, and i don't like it very much.

please come back - michelle tumes

"please come back" is the ninth track in michelle tumes' debut album listen in 1998. [acoustic pop]

"please come back" i first heard on extreme praise on praise 106.5. the song appears to be expressed from GOD's point of view in which HE calls for a wayward child.

I can't breathe
It's agony
Wondering where you are

Picture me on my knees
Have you run too far?

Can you hear
Can you hear the sound of my heart break
With each step you take
Can you feel
Can you feel me when I say

Please come back to me
I miss you, will you come to your senses
Please come back to me
I await the day when I prepare the feast
And I embrace you running to me

All I am
All I have
Is yours to find
You hide and seek
You think you're free
But you're wasting time

I can hear
I can hear the sound of footsteps pounding
Regret resounding
I believe
I believe the hour is near

What would you give for a ransomed heart
Would it cost too much
I'm telling you now, if you run to me
You will be free

You'll be running, you'll be running back to me

caelum infinitum - michelle tumes

"caelum infinitum" is the sixth track in michelle tumes' third album, michelle tumes. [acoustic pop]

tumes is a contemporary christian musician with a soft acoustic pop style. "caelum infinitum" has an ethereal sound, very soft, and very easily brings to mind the scenes described in the song, a sense of flying over beautiful, quiet landscapes and scenery. it feels as if it could be in the soundtrack for a movie.

Under the starboard sail I glide
Floating on seas that paint the sky
Into the eternal maritime
Laden with troves of seraphic
Under the leaves of clementine
Bathed by the moon at eventide
Whispering breeze has reached my soul
Tarrying not to take my woes
Tarrying not to take my woes

Caelum Infinitum
Caelum Infinitum
Caelum Infinitum
Caelum

Like ribbons that dance in a summer fair
I'm overjoyed oh Sacred Head
You shower the roads where angels tread
The blessings of heaven seers foretold
The blessings of heaven seers foretold
