Song of the Day 37!!!

The name of the band, Leisure Alaska, may throw you off. They are actually from Denmark. They make awesome music and from what you will see, bewildering videos. Its intriguing. Warning: This song will get stuck in your head. The song is called "Hey There Mr.". Enjoy!

As a side note, I painstakingly had to listen and type the lyrics because you cant find them anywhere else. So, you better enjoy....or else.





Hey there, mister
Whats the time?
Hey there, sister
What's your crime?
Whatever he might do
Whatever she might say
Hey there, mister
Where's the switch?
Whatever he might do
Whatever he might say
I'm on my way
Hey there, twister
Where's your mind?
Cook your body
Please be kind
Whatever it might do
Whatever it might say
I'm on my way
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)

Song of the Day 36!!!

I am so surprised I havent used this band as a song of the day. They are in my top 5 and have seen them live, which I recommend. This is a video they did themselves, probably while bored, called "Needlepoint" and the band is the ever wonderful Spinto Band. Enjoy.






I am, just for a moment, carefully spoken, broken
Wearing what I just woke up in.

I end without a warning, reasonably worn out.

I got the sense that you won't be too miserable.


And everybody knows
It aches the heart to go on
And so often I'll knit
A pattern taken from the thirteenth levels
Wrapped in bubble bobble again

You'll ask whether I'm mad.

I'm better at acting sad,
But you'll refrain I rarely strain my voice,
But now that you've taken all of the other waking
Hours ahead of it out, forget it

And everybody sews,
But it takes a girl with know-how
To know how to plow through
An autumn-colored scene depicting
You and me careening on a see-saw

But now that you've shown disinterest in the thought
I've taken that it's not
What I've sewn that's driven you to leave
It's got to do with me.


You can, just for a moment, see if it's torn or not
And if it is then you might as well stood the chance

Walking at night, drinking again,
Sulking at sight of your girlfriend.

Loiter and sigh, needle in hand,
Embroidering myself as planned but
Stranded across an empty seat.

Since you've shown disinterest in the thought
I've taken that it's not
What I've sewn that's driven you to leave.

It's making me believe
That what you've done to me
Has got to do with me.

Song of the Day 35!!!

I literally just stumbled across this band and video. Not only is the song really good, but the video is interesting and informative. How much better could it get? This is "When I Wake Up" by Wintergreen. Enjoy!




At 10 past 9,
A feeling that's hard to define
I pass you by
And wonder what you have to hide
So I
Get drunk
Enough
To care
I stare and I'm waiting to find her

At 10 till 1
And I've lost track of everyone
My friends are gone
There's no one here to rely on
And all that
We share
We breathe
The same air
You take my hand
And there's no turning back now

And when I wake up
You're wearing makeup
You are leaving everything that we had behind
It doesn't make sense
But it makes no difference
The way you looked at me made it feel alright

So I lay in bed
Knowing I've been so misled
Just let it go
Tomorrow I won't let it show
It's never
Too soon
To meet Again
In the wind I am floating like paper
It's 10 to 1

And when I wake up
You're wearing makeup
You are leaving everything that we share behind
It doesn't make sense
But it makes no difference
The way you looked at me made it feel alright

When I wake up
You're wearing makeup
You are leaving everything that we share behind
It doesn't make sense
But it makes no difference
The way you looked at me made it feel alright
