The Call

One of my favorite songs written and performed by Regina Spektor for the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

I love the lyrics; they relate to Peter and Susan (haha) but also to my life this summer and probably to everyone's life at one time.

It made me cry for both reasons :)

The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling that no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye

Suburban Life

Here's a new song I wrote today:

Suburban Life

Day in, day out
Everything is so repetitive
I can’t explain
I can’t explain
This feeling but I know I’m stuck
And I’m not getting out

‘Cause I’m afraid
That everything is gonna be this typical way
Forever

What can make my life spectacular?
Pull me out of this average cycle
I’m getting tired of myself
Me and my suburban life

A nine to five
Lifestyle is not what I want
But I’m living it
Sometimes I feel
Like simply running away
To anyplace but this

‘Cause I’m afraid
That everything is gonna be this typical way
Forever

What can make my life spectacular?
Pull me out of this average cycle
I’m getting tired of myself
Me and my suburban life

Valentine's Day

Today was just an awesome day.

It was one of the best days in a while.

I even wrote a letter to myself about it.

But no way am I posting it! :)

Hope you guys had a great Valentine's Day; mine was possibly the best Valentine's Day I've ever had! (well I guess it IS the best Valentine's Day I've ever had)(and no it is not because of a creature of the XY chromosome)(well partly... ;)

If I didn't get to spend it with you, I really wish I had :) That would've made my day out of this world! (Wow, I can't believe I just said that)

And if your Valentine's Day didn't rock, I'm sorry I'm rubbing mine in and call me up so we can make up for your day and PARTY!

I just think I should be grateful for the good things in life, not dwelling on the bad :)

Valentine's Day 2009. One to remember.

BarlowGirl

My favorite band.

Has been for about 2-3 years?

They are amazing. And they deserve a post.

Yes, they're Christian. But their music ranges from rock to acoustic and is awesome! I have seen them in concert 3 times, twice at Club 3 Degrees and once at Sonshine Fest. They ROCK in concert!

Also, they're their own band, which rocks.

I got one of my CD's autographed at Sonshine Fest! I was so excited.

Except for the group before me that met them KNEW them, I guess, so they got a posed picture. But I didn't know that. So the drummer talked to me and she was awesome (which is why she's my favorite, but also she drums which is amazing) but the other two were preoccupied :( And then I was kicked out of the line because I was trying to get a picture with them but I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO. Boo. But oh well. They rock anyway. And they are inspiration to many failed songs I write :) I try to be all cool and write songs, but 99.5% of the time they end up as failures. Oh well.

And I liked them BEFORE they were super popular! Kinda proud of that fact

Like I thought Pattinson was hot BEFORE he became Edward.

Did I mention the Barlow sisters are gorgeous? They are. I'm jealous.

Oh yeah. And their music is amazing :)

"Million Voices", "Never Alone", and their cover at their concert of "Rain Down" by Delirious? are all amazing!

BarlowGirl rox my sox off. Except for I could probably think of a better name for them. Such as Kirspink!. Hahaha

Ask Me Again

Here's a song that I wrote.

Inspired by Lisa (actually the first line is taken from her poem, I hope she doesn't mind).

Definitely pertaining to my life right now.

Ask Me Again

Ask me again
In a little while
When I have everything figured out
Ask me again
In a little while
When I can give you the answer you’re looking for
‘Cause I hate to upset you
But some day I gotta do what I want to do
So later on
Ask me again

Ask me again
When I’m better off
When I’m more capable of answering
Ask me again
‘Cause right now you’ll find
I can’t tell you a simple yes or no
I don’t mean to upset you
But right now I’m not prepared for change
So later on
Ask me again

Ask me again
When I finally know
What I want to do with my life
Ask me again
When I realize
That all my dreams might not come true in the end
And I don’t want to upset you
But in the meantime I gotta learn on my own
So later on
Ask me again

Wrock

Wrock rocks my sox off.

Wrock (or wizard rock) is music completely and utterly devoted to Harry Potter.

I know. Nerd City!

Really, though, it is hilarious. Even though I myself am a newbie to it, I would suggest starting out with either Harry and the Potters or Draco and the Malfoys. Both are on iTunes.

My personal favorite is "Save Ginny Weasley from Dean Thomas" by H & the P. It is such a dance song and is so cheerful! The lyrics are hilarious! I love it!

I also like "Potions Yesterday", "My Dad is Rich", and "99 Death Eaters" (parody of "99 Red Balloons), all by D & the M. They are my faves so far. You can find the whole songs on YouTube.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, check these out! They are a great clean source of entertainment!!!

Heroin

Here's the song exclusively written by me:

Heroin

Chorus:
Heroin kills
Heroin kills
Heroin kills
So don't inject yourself
(repeat)

You think you scored big at some random party
But heroin kills so don't do it buddy
It flows through your body like spandex is tight (yeah!)
So we're gonna stand up and fight (it)

Chorus 6x

Okay, so maybe not the best song for the first post under songs. But oh well.
