The Best of U2: 1983-2004

The Best of U2: 1983-2004

U2 is a pretty awesome band and they have been around for years. “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” from War, is always one of my favorite songs by them. “Pride (In the Name of Love),” from The Unforgettable Fire, is also quite well-done. “With or Without You,” from The Joshua Tree, is a beautiful song. “I Still … Continue reading

The Best of Justin Timberlake: 2002-2013

The Best of Justin Timberlake: 2002-2013

It is not surprise with me watching TRL that I heard of ‘N Sync, during the early 1990s Boyband hayday. “Cry Me a River,” from Justified, is a particularly great song. “Rock Your Body,” from Justified, is also pretty awesome. “My Love,” from FutureSex/LoveSounds, is also pretty wicked. “What Goes Around… Comes Around,” from FutureSex/LoveSounds, is well worth listening … Continue reading

Californication

Californication

Psychic spies from China Try to steal your mind’s elation And little girls from Sweden Dreams of silver screen quotation And if you want these kind of dreams It’s Californication It’s the edge of the world And all of western civilization The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final … Continue reading

Drive

Drive

Sometimes I feel the fear of the uncertainty stinging clear And I can’t help but ask myself how much I’ll let the fear take the wheel and steer It’s driven me before, and it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal Lately I’m beginning to find that I should be the one behind the … Continue reading

The End of Heartache

The End of Heartache

Seek me, call me I’ll be waiting Seek me, call me I’ll be waiting This distance, this dissolution I cling to memories while falling Sleep brings release, and the hope of a new day Waking the misery of being without you Surrender, I give in Another moment is another eternity For comfort (Call me) For … Continue reading

On Queercore

On Queercore

I really enjoy hardcore music, I have inspired by some of the music within the genre, such as B4MV, A7X, and Breaking Benjamin. This music was quite popular with my co-workers at Sears, and McKesson, though I had particular exposure at McKesson because they would play it in Shipping/Receiving, with no way for me to get … Continue reading

Land of Confusion

Land of Confusion

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They’re moving into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger has gone away But I can see the fire’s still alight They’re burning into the night There’s too many … Continue reading

A Little Bit Stronger

A Little Bit Stronger

Woke up late today, and I still feel the sting of the pain. But I brushed my teeth anyway, got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face. I got a little bit stronger. Riding in the car to work, and I’m trying to ignore the hurt. So I turned on the … Continue reading

Through Glass

Through Glass

I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed Oh God, it feels like forever But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home Sitting all alone inside your head ‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass Don’t know how much time has passed All I know … Continue reading

Paper Bag

Paper Bag

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star To pray on, or wish on, or something like that I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had But then the dove of hope began its downward slope And I … Continue reading

The Best of Third-Eye Blind: 1997-2000

The Best of Third-Eye Blind: 1997-2000

Growing up, I heard Third Eye Blind all the time. “Semi-Charmed Life,” from Third Eye Blind, is always a good one. “How It’s Going To Be,” from Third Eye Blind, is about “that condition surrounds the idea of lost love, of realizing that there may come a despairing day when the two meet and no longer know each other. … Continue reading
