Ofrivillig tema vecka -john mayer




Is there anyone who ever remembers
changing their mind from the paint on a sign?,
is there anyone who really recalls
ever breaking rank at all
for something someone yelled real loud one time?
oh, everyone believes
in how they think it oughta be
oh, everyone believes
and they're not going easily

belief is a beautiful armor
but makes for the heaviest sword
like punching underwater
you never can hit who you're trying for
some lead the exhibition
and some have to know they tried
it's the chemical weapon
for the war that's raging on inside
oh, everyone believes
from emptiness to everything
oh, everyone believes
and no one's going quietly

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

is there anyone you can remember
ever surrender with their life on the line?

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

what puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
belief can, belief can
what puts a folded flag inside his mother's hand?
belief can, belief can

Magnus Tingsek  - World Of Its Own

 
Oh, how I love to be around this particular face I found
No stress at all would waste our time
Nobody's letting anybody down, it's a world of it's own in here
We get to do what we decide to

Oh, how I love to be around this particular face I found
So full of life and possibly the most positive fields of energy
It's a world of it's own in here, we get to love each other deeply

Just a couple of years ago, I hooked up with some people I just knew would know
How to live their lifes clearly based on themselves
I'm so lucky we get to inspire each other
I'm so glad we got together
My whole world was falling apart

Oh, how I love to be around this particular face I found
No stress at all would waste our time
Nobody's letting anybody down, it's a world of it's own in here
We get to do what we decide to

Oh, how I love to be around this particular face I found
So full of life and possibly the most positive fields of energy
It's a world of it's own in here, we get to love each other deeply 





 


Say



Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ?em in quotations

Say what you need to say
[x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you only could . . .

Say what you need to say
[x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]

Ofrivillig Tema vecka -John Mayer

Egentligen borde John Mayer stå i sin egen kategori, för hos mig är han kung. Hans senaste album Continuum har jag spelat över 100 gånger, jag skojar inte, bara älskar honom. Här är en av mina favortier. 



Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me

Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it

Don't give up give up

Sister Hazel - Change Your Mind

Sommar är inget utan Sister Hazel.


Hey, Hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way?
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today

Oh no-
If you never want to have
To turn and go away,
You might feel better
Might feel better if you stay.

Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard a word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough of all your trying
Just give up
The state of mind you're in:

[Chorus]
If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself.
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind, change your mind.

Hey hey-
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no! Take it all in
The world's a show,
And yeah, you look much better,
Look much better when you glow.

Yeah yeah
I hope you heard every word I've said.
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough of all your trying
Just give up
The state of mind you're in:

[Chorus]

Hey hey-
what ya say
We both go and seize the day.
'cause what's your hurry,
what's your hurry anyway?

Yeah yeah
I hope you've heard every word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in:

If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of losing battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else,
Change your mind, change your mind.
Change your mind, change your mind.

Out of your mind, out of your mind,
Just close your mind.

Dagens Låt

Jag vet att det är tema vecka, men ibland måste man få lov att brya mönster. Jag har fått denna på huvudet och har hunnit spela säkert 30 gånger under denna morgonen. Alla känner nog igen Anouk från Nobodys Wife och nu har hon släppt ett nytt album "Who's your momma" och första singeln heter Modern World och är helt underbar, bra text och fantastisk röst.

Anouk - Modern World


Crazy way to get ur kicks
They shoot the silicone in ur lips
If your figure makes u sad
They suck the fat right of ur back

Make up ur mind about ur tits girls
They can puff em up so no bra will fit girls
Theres only one thing they cant fix
No I wont let u be mislead
And that's the hole in ur head
Cant do nothing about that

hell hell modern world
hell hell to all u boys and girls
hell hell hell the colour green
hell hell to what ive seen
hell hell hell this modern world

you tell her that she's beautiful
and put her on a pedestal
but as u cook a triplex
Imagination kicks in

The more u think about sex boys
With someone else the better it gets boys
U have a purpose in ur life
Besides cheating on the wife
For fuck sake show some sense

hell hell modern world
hell hell to all u boys and girls
hell hell hell the colour green
hell hell to what ive seen
hell hell hell this modern world

yeah yeah yeah yeahh 2x

these days adoption is a hot thing
u can get a child for nearly nothing
you take them home to a nanny
buy off ur guilt with toys and candy
but all the money that u work for girls
cant compare it to love boys

theres only one thing they cant fix
No I wont let u be mislead
And that's the hole in ur head
Cant do nothing about that
hell hell modern world
hell hell to all u boys and girls
hell hell hell the colour green
hell hell to what ive seen
hell hell hell this modern world

When you only got 100 years to live

Denna kommer faktiskt från One Tree Hill, jag hade fått för mig från the OC men det visar bara hur bra One Tree Hill är på musik. Five for Fighting spelar jag ofta när jag är lite deppig och trots att 100 years är så lugn och sorgsen blir man glad av den. I den fantastiska världen av Youtube gick det inte att linka orginal videon, så här är en med Bambi.




I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you�re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

John Mayer och Ginza

Mycket musik hittar man av en slump, Matt Nathanson hittade jag när sökte efter John Mayer på ginza.se och på något sätt fick jag upp hans album, inte alla låtarna är så fantastiska men det finns en hel del godbitar. Bland annat denna. När man sen letar hittar man även hans musik i bland annat Scrubs.


I'm wide awake and so alive
Ringing like a bell
Tell me this is paradise
And not someplace I fell
'Cause I keep on fallin' down

I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
'Til I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
'Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright


Just push me 'til I have to fly
I've shed my skin, my scars
Take me deep out past the lights
Where nothing dims these stars
Nothing dims these stars

I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
'Til I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
'Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright

So right
It's all wrong

I'm wide awake and so alive

I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
'Til I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
'Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright

Instrumentbrädets bekännelser

Jag hade hört talas om Dashboads Confessional från någon TV serie, förmodligen från One Tree Hill, men det var efter Maroon 5 konserten i December, där de var förband som jag verkligen fick upp ögonen för dem. Sångaren var söt, bandet coolt och konserten var så bra att man nästan hoppades på att de var huvudbandet. I alla fall tills Maroon började spela.
 

This is where I say I've had enough
And no one should ever feel the way that I feel now.
A walking open wound,
a trophy display of bruises
And I don't believe that I'm getting any better.
Any better.

Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment
is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.

Wandering this house
like I've never wanted out
And this is about as social as I get now.
And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you
Cause they would never do,
I would never do.
Never

Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.

So don't be a liar
Don't say that
"everything's working"
when everything's broken.
And you smile like a saint
but you curse like a sailor
And your eyes say the jokes on me.

But, I'm not laughing
You're not leaving
Who do I think I am kidding?
When I'm the only one locked in this hell

Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
And I'm thinking awful things
I'm pretty sure that few would notice.
And this apartment is starving for an argument.
Anything at all to break the silence.

So don't be a liar
Don't say that "everything's working"
when everything's broken.
And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor
And your eyes say the jokes on me.

Dubbelt Upp; October Road och Ryan Adams

En TV serie som fortsatten en bra stund under strejken var October Road, en mysig serie där Bryan Greenberg , som spelade Jake i One Tree Hill har huvudrollen. Klart sevärd, men det bästa med den serien är musiken, mycket gamla godingar och som ett resultat av detta hade jag bland annat haft Ace Frehley (Kiss) -New York Groove på huvudet under strörre delen av jullovet., för mig är det mycket Odd. Follow the light spelades även i serien och Ryan Adams har jag gillat sedan hans Oasis cover Wonderwall spelades på the OC. Eftersom det är så vintrigt väder ute, spelar jag den just ofta på iPoden. Videon innehåller många klipp från October Road. Och Ja, tjejen i videon är ingen annan än Donna från that 70´s show, hon spelar Nicks (Bryan) highschool sweetheart.

These very moments as they pass
It's like you're just dreaming of busting someone else
Hands they hold a candle to the pages
These days they go so fast
These days are ours

Follow the lights that line the streets
connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home
They will lead you home
Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home

If every second year is true
Our love is strong enough to guide the way we walk through
Hands inside of hands
Hearts inside of hearts
Like eyes closed
Side by side and through

Follow the lights that line the streets
connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home
They will lead you home
Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home

If everything we are is true
Our memories are attics in those houses on the hill
Our love is there above us holding everything so still
And we are always here
Yes we are always here

So follow the lights that line the streets
connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home
They will lead you home
Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home, home

Lazy Eye

Varje sång har igentligen en historia, i många fall ett minne eller typ när man hittade den. Jag hämtar mycket om inte nästan allt från amerikanska tv serier och under strejken har det varit tunt med ny musik, ett av banden jag hittade undertiden var Silversun Pickups, den spelades på Life of Ryan, en MTV serie av tveksam sevärdig klass, men har man inget annat så. Men denna låten räddade mig.


I've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment all my life
but it's not quite right

and this 'real'
it's impossible if possible
at who's blind word
so clear but so unheard

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this silence all night long
it's just a matter of time

to appear sad
with the same 'ol decent lazy eye
fixed to rest on you
aim free and so untrue

everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with such shine

everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with such shine

lost and loaded
still the same 'ol decent lazy eye
straight through your gaze
that's why i said i relate
i said we relate
it's so fun to relate

it's the room the sun and the sky
it's the room the sun and the sky

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment...

Dagens Låt

Dagens musik kommer ifrån en av mina absoluta favoriter Jack Johnson. Jag måste säga att jag var inte så imponerad av detta albumet för än efter kanske den fjärde gången jag hörde det. Då var jag förälskad.

Jack Johnson - Hope




If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that
You looked good
As I walked away

And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
You would've never been hungry
But you never really be

The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore

Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not at all
Just stand still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
that won't let me in

Always looking out

Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time

Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not all
Just stand still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always looking out
Always lookin

OC klassiker

När jag hör denna kommer jag ihåg min tid då jag gick på gymnasiet i Lysekil, Jag spelade alltid denna när solen lyste över vattnet, så underbart vacket. Lite samma känsla får man  när man som idag kan titta ut över Oslofjorden och se solen gnistra. Idag älskar jag denna Staden. Så vackert!


Imogen Heap
Say goodnight and go

Skipping beats, flashing jeeps
I am struggling
Daydreaming, been sitting, the corner cafe
And I'm left in bits, recovered tectonic, trembling
You get me everytime

Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home
You've got your headphones on
And your dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot
You're taking everything off

Watch the curtains, wide open
And you fall in the same routine
Flicking through the TV
Relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone

Oh why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

One of these days
You'll miss your train, and come stay with me
It's always say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks and talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
You'd sleep here, I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good, we'd be great together
Go

Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Why is it always, always

Goodnight and Go

Dagens Absoluta Favorit

Denna låten tar jag alltid fram när solen tittar fram tillsammans med Imogen Heaps låt Say Goodnight And Go (se nästa inlägg). Det är dock farligt att spela den i iPoden eftersom jag börjar nästan alltid omedvetet sjunga med, vilket kan resultera i en pinsam situation. Dagens låt altså I'm Yours av Jason Mraz.  


Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
i love peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what i'ma saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is your's!

Dagens Soundtrack

Hade egenligen tänkt att detta skulle vara en lugn "Perishers"-dag med tanke på regnet som öser ner, så där små deppig men jag kan inte släppa Panic! At The Disco's nya album och framför allt That Green Gentleman. Jag sitter här och små trallar för mig själv på kontoret och är betydligt gladare än vad jag borde vara så det får bli en låt till.

Albumet Pretty Odd är faktiskt pretty odd och jag gillar inte alla låtarna, men just denna fastnar och jag tror att det är för att den påminner mig mycket om Fall Out Boy och texten beskriver lite hur jag känner mig, fast betydligare gladare och trallvänligare.

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I'm someone I've never met.

You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes.
They spill unfound from a pretty mouth.

Everybody gets there and everybody gets their,
Everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I'm the only one to blame.

Things have changed for me, and that's okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say
Things have changed for me, and that's okay.

I want to go where everyone goes,
I want to know what everyone knows
I want to go where everyone feels the same

I never said I'd leave the city,
I never said I'd leave this town.
A falling out we won't tiptoe about.

Everybody gets there and everybody gets their,
Everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I'm the only one to blame.

Things have changed for me, and that's okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say
Things have changed for me, and that's okay.



Dagens Låt

I dag ska the Perishers spela i Malmö och för att jag är fast i Oslo. Ibland är det inte kul att bo i en ny stad då alla vänner bor där hemma. Men jag kan inte göra mer än minnas deras fantastiska spelning i höstas, vilken känsla, jag får fortfarande gåshud när jag hör albumet. Dagens blir min absoluta favorit från deras nya album Victorious, Come out of the shade. Jag ska faktiskt ut och äta eller spise som det heter på norska och se på bio med jobbet idag. Vi ska se Vantage Point, och det kan nästan lika kul ( who I'm I kidding?!) the Perishers spelning.



Was it love, or just something that reminded me of
Something that felt a lot like, but wasn't, love
Just friends, friends then, until the end
You know I still pretend, just friends.

Take a step and come out of the shade
I can tell you're no longer afraid
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Take a step and come out in the sun
I can tell it's already begun
I'm helpless without your warming smile

Was it love, I think it was but I'm far from sure
I'd never felt that way before, was it love?
Just friends, am I a fool to be asking for,
a fool to wish that we could be more than friends

Take a step and come out of the shade
I can tell you're no longer afraid
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Take a step and come out here in the sun
I can tell it's already begun
I'm helpless without you,
Helpless without you,
Helpless without your warming smile
Your warming smile

Dagens låt komemr ifrån den norska duon Something Sally, ft. Joss Stone - Tip of My Tongue


It's been a long time since I saw you smiling
It's been a long while since you shed a tear

Baby sometimes
Sometimes words stay on the tip of my tongue
There's an easy way but hard to let them out

Gotta let them out for me boy
Sometimes words stay on the tip of my tongue
Someone help me please help me get him trough
Help me get him trough
Get him trough

It's been a long time since you and I were fighting
It's been a long while since you've shown me you care
It's been a cloudy time, no sunshine or light, it's been raining
I wanna tell those eyes it will be all right
cause baby sometimes
