Stina Nordenstam - Murder In Mairyland Park]]> three days in rome http://www.last.fm/user/luke_suspicious/journal/2009/02/26/2io0y9_three_days_in_rome Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:52:35 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luke_suspicious/journal/2009/02/26/2io0y9_three_days_in_rome Sheryl Crow has never been a fave of mine, but I can't ignore the sheer talent she sheds on some of her works (especially during the 90's). Lyrical brilliance and melodic honesty are two qualities I truly appreciate in any artist, and being a woman just makes it all the way better. The Book (from Sheryl Crow) is a sad, slightly angry and a little desperate song about a lover disturbed for having her life and her sweetest experiences explored and "passed out among stranger's hands" by her ex, who wrote a book about their love story using pseudonyms. This complaining woman realizes later how sincere she was with her feelings and that "a love you once made can't be undone". It could happen to you. It will, eventually. You'll read someone else's book and figure out you know that story a little too well. Some especial holiday, anything you overlooked over the years and that all of a sudden became so clear to you.

And the story is told over and over again.]]> Portrait of my Tori obsession http://www.last.fm/user/luke_suspicious/journal/2009/02/11/2hbe0g_portrait_of_my_tori_obsession Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:46:19 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luke_suspicious/journal/2009/02/11/2hbe0g_portrait_of_my_tori_obsession

How did you get into Tori: she was brought into my life when a friend sent me her song 'Spark'.
First song you heard: Spark
Favourite track: Too many to name... but, for now, Cooling.
Least favorite track: Big Wheel
Happy song: I've always thought of Wednesday as being a really happy tune :)
Sad song: Here. In My Head
Crazy Song: Too many to name, too. I'll go with Space Dog, a little crazy pearl from one of her most underrated albums to date.
If a song had to be played when you entered the room, it would be: Carbon
Best album: I can see beauty in each and every one of her albums, so that's hard to answer... let's try my most listened album according to last.fm, To Venus and Back (a truly brilliant effort).
Worst album: American Doll Posse
Best live song: I've been going insane with live versions of She's Your Cocaine.
Best cover: Hard to choose between American Pie and Angie... guess I won't be able to choose.
Song that describes you: Liquid Diamonds
Song for your funeral: Silent All These Years
Most overrated song: A Sorta Fairytale (for Tori's sake, someone's gotta agree with me on this one)
Most underrated song: Not the Red Baron
Most played on your Last.Fm: Precious Things
Song you wish you wrote: Mother

Tori Amos
Little Earthquakes
Under the Pink
Boys for Pele
From the Choirgirl Hotel
To Venus and Back
Scarlet's Walk
Crucify
Winter
Broken Stone]]> adoration http://www.last.fm/user/luke_suspicious/journal/2008/08/05/23po1x_adoration Tue, 5 Aug 2008 23:51:28 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luke_suspicious/journal/2008/08/05/23po1x_adoration Pure, crude love, in all its wildness and possessiveness - and, why not, violence?

How does it feel
To know that you are loved so much
How does it feel to be accepted
So completely
How does it feel to know that you
Mean everything to someone
How does it feel to know that
You're exactly what i wanted

How does it feel
To know that you are loved

I love you more than you can see
This is everything you are to me

Halou I'll carry you
______________________________________________________________________

Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...

Sarah McLachlan Possession
______________________________________________________________________

Jackie left on a cold, dark night
telling me he'd be home
sailed the seas for a hundred years
and left me all alone

now I've been dead for twenty years
I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears
searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

and I remember the day that the young man came
said, your Jackie's gone, he is lost in the rain
and I ran to the beach
and laid me down

you're all wrong, I said
and they stared to the sand
that man knows the sea like the back of his hand
he'll be back some time
laughing at you

and I've been waiting all this time
for my man to come, take his hand in mine
and lead me away
to unsailed shores

I've been washing the sand with my salty tears
searching the shore these long years
and I'll walk the sea forever more
'til I find my Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide

And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
For they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide

And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me

I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here
Until you're resting here with me

Dido Here With Me
______________________________________________________________________

I nearly died I suicided softly
I saw her shadow through the cafe window
I watched you lean across the table
I watched you whisper in her ear

And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And you can use me if you want to
I know you need me just like an old soft shoe

She looks like me but a bit prettier
She's a skater and a ballet dancer
I saw her on your motorcycle
In the seat I thought was meant for me

And when your mother came to Boston you disappeared
And then I saw you three together
I guess she makes the best impression
With her charming femininity...

Oh but I am the one you will call when alone
And I am the one who will give when she's gone
And so I give
So I give

I tell myself that love is truly giving
Somehow I justify this
Hoping you will understand me
Hoping you will love me back

And she is your holy Mary
And I am so ordinary
And she is your Queen Cleopatra
And I'm just your morning after
And she is your Star Spangled Banner
And I am just Frere Jaque
And you can lose me if you want to

And I am so ordinary

Paula Cole I Am So Ordinary
______________________________________________________________________

All the stars may shine bright
all the clouds may be white
but when you smile
oh how I feel so good
that I can hardly wait

to hold you
enfold you
never enough
render your heart to me

all mine...
you have to be

from that cloud, number nine
danger starts the sharp incline
and such sad regrets
oh as those starry skies
as they swiftly fall

make no mistake
you shall not escape
tethered and tied
there's nowhere to hide from me

all mine...
you have to be

don't resist
we shall exist
until the day I die
until the day I die

all mine...
you have to be

Portishead All Mine
