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?

Untitled

The Song of The Day is Untitled by Simple Plan.
So in court there's this thing that lawyers and such can do. If a comment offends somebody and they yell out "objection" or whatever the hell else they say, the offending lawyer-person can say "withdrawn." Which is basically saying "Ohshit I take it back!" So they can legally do that, but nobody else can. Why not? Why do they have the power to take back the bad things they've done, have them stricken from their record, and the regular folks like us can't? "Oh well they worked hard to get where they are in life to be able to exercise that ability in court." Shut the fuck up. They worked hard? So according to you nobody else in the world works hard enough, even those that work harder (factory workers, miners, gun-smiths and such), to be able to use this magical ability that lets you take things off the record? Well fuck, I withdraw everything I did that caused Smiley-the-judge to put a no-contact order on Rocket and I. All better? What's that? No? There's still a no-contact order. OH I KNOW! They have to hear me say it.
Readers, what's your song of the day? A pointless question as I will not get a response, so I guess that makes in an unintentionally rhetorical question. That's fucking great.

Bullet

So, here's the summary of how my fucking day went.
1. Wake up
2. Go to court
3. Get No-contact order saying that I can't see or talk to Rocket for a fucking year
4. Get home, trash my room screaming profanity at the fucking walls
5. Find out my Grandma is in the hospital because of a fucking heart attack.
6. Go downstairs and vent my anger by playing Borderlands 2 and killing every. single. thing.

So world, I invite you to bend over, introduce your fist to your ass, and go fuck yourself.
Goodnight.

Kickapoo

The Song of The Day is Kickapoo by Tenacious D. I'm not really into explaining right now. Just listen to the song.

Darkness Within (Acoustic)

So, as many of you know already, I'm a lyricist. That means that I write song lyrics with the intention of producing music with them or selling them for profit. Now I'm sure right now a lot of you are thinking "That sounds like the easiest shit ever! I'm gonna go out and write a hit song right now!", if only it was that simple. The Song of The Day is Darkness Within (Acoustic) by Machine Head. It's about music. I'm using this to tell you that it's not easy writing good lyrics, it's especially harder to sell them. You need to have inspiration, a story, a strong beat in your head while you write, luck, and I've been told that hallucinogenic drugs can help a bit too (not that I'd know anything about that.). Overall, it's like a minigame in Life. Not the HASBRO board game, but the metaphor of comparing life to some suck ass game where the general public has literally no hope of ever making it to the last godsdamned square. Fucking rich folk and g-men have all the cards with the matching color-squares (10 points for candyland reference! Somebody should pay me for all this advertising. lolz.). I've probably gone through at least 20 different versions before I submit my best work for criticizing from my friends. And they can be pretty harsh sometimes. But I never give up on a set of lyrics or a song. Even if I'm just working with 2 chords and a single verse, I'll keep going till I'm happy with it, and that's what matters. You don't do this because it's some get-rich-quick plan, you do it because you want to. It's just like writing poetry, only with music behind it and it doesn't take 6 fucking hours in a smokey coffee house to listen to ONE GODSDAMNED STORY (ALL CAPS RAGE ON YOU FUCKING SLOW ASS POETS! LEARN TO SPEAK NORMAL SPEEDS!). I'm just putting the final touches on Rocket's song right now as I copy it into my official songbook. Only my best work goes in the song book. The rest gets incinerated along with any original copies.
I also write music to tell my stories, or to let out all of this pent up rage that builds from my environment. Somebody pisses me off beyond the point of no return, I don't murder them and their entire family out of revenge (although sometimes I wish I had), I write a song. When I have something to say that I couldn't say in a regular conversation, I sing it out in a song. I'm not saying it's for everybody, I'm just saying music has power. Whether it's the music in your ipod, or the music in you.
So Readers, if any of you will answer the fucking question this time, what's your song of the day?

Swing Life Away

I've been thinking about the future. Where I'll go, what I'll do, that kind of stuff. And I've decided that I want to live somewhere peaceful. Somewhere where I can just sit out on the front porch and enjoy the weather. Enjoy the silence in the air. I want to live somewhere away from people. Out in a mountain cave. Or just carve an entire home into the side of a canyon. Reinforce it against earthquakes and stuff like that. Have an entrance at the top with stairs to the main chamber, where there'll be entrances to the other hallways and rooms. And a Safe Room, or rather, all the bedrooms would be Safe rooms. Peace. That's what this song makes me think of. A peaceful, safe, quiet place all to myself and whoever else I want with me. Of course the idea for the rocker mountain mansion wasn't solely my idea (Rocket). The Song of The Day is Swing Life Away by Rise Against, it's one of their acoustic songs. It's amazing. It's peaceful. It makes me think of a bright future. I know this one is a bit earlier than when I usually post, but there's really nothing going on today. I can't go see Rocket because we don't have money for gas, or we probably do and they are just trying to keep some semblance of control over my life. One more year. If everything moves smoothly (it won't), then I'll have a job and be out of this house within the next 14 months. I have a plan this time.

Tribute

So I've been trying to write this damn song for like 4 fucking months now, I know how it ends, I know the chorus, but I also know it's not finished. So I started writing some other lyrics. And It ended up sounding something like Tribute by Tenacious D. So The Song Of The Day is Tribute by Tenacious D. No I'm not going to post my songs lyrics here, because everybody would hear something different going with the lyrics. I promise though, the moment you can look up my song on youtube or itunes I'll let you guys know. Today kinda sucked, I was planning on skipping school and chilling around the park until 4th class, but I didn't cuz I thought Rocket was going to school today, and we were playing Bingo in 4th class and the winners get candy, but I mainly went for Rocket, and she was sick today. Anime Sad Faceness *I cry blood*. I tried calling to see how she was doing, but nobody answered, and I couldn't get on facebook in time to chat with her because I had to babysit today. Not a good start to a weekend.

Readers, what's your song of the day?
