The Last Post

Here. For now. I've set up a new email account and rather than try and go through this Google sites ridiculous settings to try and figure out how to transfer control of this page over to my new email, I'm just going to start over. I'll make the first post on the new Song of The Day blog a link to this old page, and probably include the link in a couple posts after that. Most likely until I get everything transferred over to my new email address. So you want some songs? Here's a little farewell playlist that will be entirely off the top of my head (which means it'll pretty much be the last ten songs I listened to before coming to the library.)

Ridiculous by Bowling For Soup

Paralyzed by The Used

Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin

Devils Dance Floor by Flogging Molly

Two Weeks by All That Remains

Bleed It Out by Linkin Park

See you soon! Hopefully.

Still Alive

So I recently beat Portal 2, without ever having played the first one (*gasp!* it's so horrible!). I was, however, introduced to the ending song from Portal, Still Alive, back in freshman year; Instant addiction.
I was slightly more disappointed with Portal 2's ending song, Want You Gone. It just didn't have the feel to it, y'know? Anyway, onto the body of the post!
The Song of The day is Still Alive by Jonathan Coultman, written for the video game Portal. Here's the most kickass kinetic typography video you'll ever watch in your sad, pathetic lifetimes.

These Days

Okay, so I recently bought the game Rock Band Blitz on PSN, and it's the best Rock Band game ever, I don't care about your opinion on this because you're wrong.
Now, to the point. On this game is one of my favorite Foo Fighters songs, and I know a lot of people didn't like the Wasting Light album, but a lot of people are dumbasses. The song is These Days, and it is the Song of The Day (Formal form of that announcement; The Song of The Day is These Days by Foo Fighters)
This is the song that pops into my head whenever somebody, well not just any somebody only specific somebodies, tells me "it's going to be okay."
"Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet
Not yet"
Those lines in specific. Because you don't know, so stop telling me that it's going to be okay. Unless you are several years my elder in experience and age, YOU KNOW NOTHING!
So what's your SOTD?

Happy Birthday To Me!

So yeah, I turned 18 yesterday. Now I'm really fucked. Got papers telling me that if there's ever a draft I have to comply, even if I leave the country. First response was "fuck that" and I nearly reached for a lighter until I was reminded that I'm already in trouble and the federal government calls any independent person a traitor (despite that they're taking all our money and giving it away to countries that don't need any American assistance). So I have to keep the stupid papers.
On the upside I got a new ps3.

Valentine's Playlist 2013

So as you all know, yesterday was the entirely commercialized Saint Valentine's Day! Hooray for plastic foil and chocolate! Well, I didn't have the opportunity to share my SOTD or holiday playlist with you all! So here it is! Yesterday's Song of The Day was I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz.  Now for the Holiday Playlist! It's either shorter or longer than usual, I'll let you decide.

1. Yellow by Alex Parks
A song about a color! No. The Color Yellow is just there. Everywhere. Listen to it.

2. Gang Of Rhythm by Walk Off The Earth
"I got this old guitar, the strings are rusty but it's all I need" Here's to the broken-hearted musicians reading this. At least you got a song out of it right?

3. Last Train Home by Lostprophets
For every broken heart in general.

4. Have Faith In Me by A Day To Remember
For the ones that are always there for eachother, and the ones working on getting back to eachother.

5. Heels Over Head by Boys Like Girls
I actually don't remember why that one is on here. I can't even remember the lyrics. Strange...

6. You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi]
Who hates their ex? Show of hands? Now who raised their hand at the computer screen?

7. Bruised by Jack's Mannequin
If you take one thing away from this song, it should be that this should never happen to you.

So that's it for this Holiday! Just wait for Saint Patrick's Day!
What was your Valentine Song?

Stupid battery

So as I might have mentioned before, I'm using an older MP3. One that doesn't recognize any charger not made by the company that made the device. WHICH IS STUPID in terms of consumer convenience, but genius for the company because I'll bet they make the chargers so they only last a week or something so anybody dumb enough to buy one in the first place has to go back and buy more.
Anyway, I just use a USB cable and charge it from the desktop at home. That doesn't work at the library.
SUPER LAME
So no song for today.

Honestly

So that band that did the song This Should Have Been A Love Song? Well I finally got in contact with them, which was a lot easier than getting in contact with the chick that showed me their music in the first place. Anyway, look them up on soundcloud or something, it's Lost Without Lacie. So their song Honestly has absolutely NOTHING to do with my day or week or feelings as far as I know. (I didn't really listen through the whole song, but don't tell them that it might hurt their feelings.)
So yeah, the Song of The Day is Honestly by Lost Without Lacie. What's your song of the day?

Honor For All

So as I mentioned a month or so ago, I got the game Dishonored for Christmas. I beat it (with high chaos, meaning I didn't do stealth very well.) within days of getting it. I LOVE this games soundtrack. The background music, the combat music, even the voice acting, but my absolute favorite song from the game is the song played at the ending credits. Honor for All by Jon and Daniel Licht. You may recognize the second name from other game soundtracks (ex. Silent Hill Book of Memories).
not the song of the day, maybe, just thought I'd share.

Photograph

The Song of The Day is Photograph by Def Leppard. Not sure why actually, I just get a good vibe from the song today.
Comment with your song of the day if you want.

Smile

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCKET!!!! I know you won't be reading this but fuck it I'm writing this to you anyway. Well, in a way don't I kinda write all of them to you sorta? No? Whatever.
The Song of The Day is Smile by Unkle Kracker, and yes it's a country song. BE SURPRISED!!! So yeah, happy birthday love <3 Sorry I'm not there, but some prick judge decided that it's a good idea to separate two people who left to be together, not like that's a reason to try again or anything. (I take a small bit of pleasure in knowing that this all goes back to the judge. Just a small bit though, because there's a chance this may come back to bite me in the ass, and that never feels good.)
Anyway, despite how sappy this is gonna sound; This song always makes me think of you. No matter how low I get, some song like this comes on and thoughts of us come back and I'm smiling again. So here's the lyrics, be embarrassed that all of my 23 readers, most of which live in Iceland (do they speak English in Iceland or am I going to have to start writing these in another damn language? Just asking.) will know that this one's for you Rocket. Happy Birthday love

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

What the fuck happened to my font? seriously. 

Sanctuary (After The Battle)

So those of you who are my friends on Facebook, which would require you knowing who I am which unsettles me a tad bit, know that I recently (yesterday) acquired a copy of the greatest Playstation 2 game ever (Kingdom Hearts 2). So I got the game, and yesterday afternoon I started a new game. Since then, that profile is now a lvl 58, I've unlocked the Secret Ending, and done pretty much everything but make the Ultima Weapon, which is pissing me off. Anyway, the Song of The Day is the credits music for Kingdom Hearts 2; Sanctuary (After The Battle) by Utada Hikaru. That's all. Back to gaming.
Readers, what's your SOTD?

99 Red Balloons

So yeah, I can't sleep. Mum was just down here bothering me about getting up to bed though, so this one will be quick, no ranting tonight. At least I hope not.
The Song of The Day is 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger. Again, I remember Rocket and I half-singing-half-reciting it this one time. I can't remember if it was when we were making a cake at her place (which I didn't even get to try!) or our last picnic in the park though. I think the park one was when I sang Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold as she spun me around on the "Spinning Circle of Dizzyness and Death" (y'know, those things that you lie in the middle of in the playground and have your friends spin you till you puke. I don't know what they're actually called.) no wait, that wasn't Nightmare, it was some A7X song though so whatever.
When I first heard this song I didn't really get it, so I was talking to my mum about it and her understanding of it is that every balloon represents a dream or hope. As he's letting the balloons go off, he's letting go of the hopes and dreams he held in the past. Which is kinda sad...
Anyway, the song is a cover of some German song, 99 Luft Balons by.... well shit, I can't remember who played it originally. But the original sounds all funky, in a good way.

Help Is On The Way

Do you know what my top things that I hate in this world are? Well I don't have time to write down the list, but one of those things is relying on other people, especially when those people think that I rely on them because I don't know what to do or what needs to be done. I know exactly what needs to be done, I don't need you to tell me what needs to get done, I need you to get off your ass and get it done because you're the only ones who can! The Song of The Day is Help is On The Way by Rise Against.

Far Away

I wen through a couple songs today. Picture by Kid Rock (featuring Sheryl Crow), Paralyzed by The Used, Mad World by Alex Parks (lots of different versions of this song, but she does it best. Until Sarah of Walk Off The Earth does a cover. Then she'll do it best. Until Rocket agrees to sing it for me, I'm sure I could get her to sing it for me). Anyway, the Song of The Day is Far Away by Nickelback, take it how you want it, it's a sad, meaningful song.
Moral of the story is; I miss Rocket.
But hey, here's the good news! That no-contact order is about to be shot up! METAPHORICALLY. Gods, maybe I shouldn't make gun/bullet/shooting jokes with all the recent gun issues, what with people trying to nullify the 2nd amendment and the constitution in general. But hey, fuck the principles that American society was founded on right?
I really hate that I can't stay on topic. EVER.
Readers, what's your song of the day? Song title and artist in the comments section below, along with a brief description of why, if you want. Not like I'm begging or anything. And to all my readers in Iceland, which is for some reason my highest demographic; HI!!!! How's Iceland?

People Are Strange

So if I had any readers I imagine somebody would be pissed about me calling this song alternative, but I don't really know where else to put it. Doesn't really have that rock feel to it.
Anyway, the Song of The Day is People Are Strange by Doors, I wasn't sure if the bands official name is The Doors or just Doors everywhere I look it's different. Reasoning for this being my SOTD is that I got to take a crazy test today! Find out just what's wrong with my personality, I tell you there's nothing more gratifying than being judged by doctors and legal-pricks. Nope, just nothing like it. (CAN YOU TASTE THE SARCASM?)

I Miss You

The Song of The Day is I Miss you by Blink-182, only because I can remember Rocket singing it once. Of course, she'd never sing anything if asked. She just kinda sang sometimes when she was in the mood to sing. Small memories y'know?
