A Bed of Songs & Stories

"(Kissed You) Good Night" - Gloriana I originally wanted to write about this back on April 12th. I have a huge draft list I gotta filter through, but my mind is so scattered I'm posting to make sure it's up and ready for me to add to later. Hopefully, it won't be much later. Ya, I'm late but better late than never. Lyrics: I dropped you off Just a little after midnight Sat in my car Till you turned off your porch light I should have kissed you I should have pushed you up against the wall I should have kissed you Just like I wasn’t scared at all I turned off the car Ran through the yard Back to your front door Before I could knock You turned the lock And met me on the front porch And I kissed you Goodnight And now that I’ve kissed you It’s a good night good night baby goodnight You couldn’t see me Watching through the window Wondering what went wrong Praying that you wouldn’t go You should have kissed me You should have pushed me up against the wall You shou

"Breath of Life" - Florence and the Machine It's 4 minutes passed the time I should've left work. I'm only doing this to show you how much I love you and of course, that no matter how irritated I am at the fact that Playlist screwed this all up for me...I'll still blog. I'll blog not because you told me to, but because I'll admit you're right. It's in my blood and though I may go on a hiatus, I'll come back eventually. Good things always do. Lyrics: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I was looking for a breath of a life For a little touch of heavenly light But all the choirs in my head say no oh oh To get a dream of life again A little vision of the sun at the end But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh But I would need one more touch Another taste of heavenly rush And I believe, I believe it's so oh oh oh And I need one more touch Another taste of divine rush And I believe, I believe it's so oh oh oh Whose side am I on? Whose side am I? Whose

"Garden of Your Mind (remix)" - Mr. Rogers I want to write about this when I'm not so flustered, but here it is now because it's too good to wait for me to get it together.

"I Can't Go For That" - Hall & Oates (Cover by Nicki Bluhm & the Gamblers) I love it when I'm introduced to something so fascinating as this awesome video that I have to show it off (even if over 1.5 million viewers watched it before me). Now normally I'm anti-cover, but I can't help but appreciate a version almost as good as the original (and one that I actually enjoy more than the original). This was like the time I saw the 5-on-1-guitar rendition of the now overplayed Gotye feat. Kimbra song, "Somebody That I Used to Know" except I doubt this song will flood the airwaves since it's ions old. But...they did bring back the ridiculous fashion sense of the 80's and 90's, so I can't be too sure this isn't going to happen. The only difference is that I'd embrace it because unlike clothes, music gets better with time. On a different note, I found the title of this song fitting for what I just discovered a few days ago. As

It came in a small, square box. No ribbon. No wrapping paper. No need. It was perfect and it was mine.

"It's My Party" - Brenda Lee Is it wrong to sit here with newly polished nails holding a fresh Starbucks in my hand? Is it wrong to wanna stay in my blue CSULA sweatshirt with my hair wrapped up in a claw clip? Is it wrong (as I attempt to type this without smudging this awesome shade of gray), to just enjoy? No, because today is my turn. The only day of the year when I allow it to ONLY be dedicated to me. It's my party and I'll love if I want to. Love if I want to. Love if I want to. You would love to if it happen to you! Lyrics: It's my party and I'll cry if I want to Die if I want to, lie if I want to You would cry, too, if it happened to you! Nobody know where my Johnny has gone But Judy left the same time Why was he holding her hand When he's supposed to be mine? It's my party and I'll cry if I want to Die if I want to, lie if I want to You would cry, too, if it happened to you! Play all my records, keep dancing all night I may be alon
