I know I havent put up a SOTD in a while. I have been uber busy, but here is a good one. In honor of The Beatles: Rock Band, which I have been waiting for for a year, here is a promo video for a song that will be on the track list. Its the LOVE remix which they made for the Cirque Du Soliel show. Its still awesome. The song is "Within You Without You/ Tomorrow Never Knows". Enjoy!
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

Song of the day 41!!!
I know, I know. Its been a long time. Well, I have been busy. As you all know, I moved recently and I have been settling in. By the way, I am doing great! Anyway, this song of the day is by a band you probably have heard of called The Killers and the song and video I am showing this issue is "Spaceman". I heard this song was up for DLC on Rock Band 2 so I looked it up and became addicted. Not only is the song catchy, bit the video is weird as hell, which, if you keep up with the songs of the day, I enjoy. Without further ado, here ya go! Enjoy!
It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed;
And then they took my blood type,
they left a strange impression in my head.
You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind;
But when they cut me open,
I guess I changed my mind.
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time,
'cause they're calling me by my name!
And the zipping white light beams
disregarding bombs and satellites!
That was the turning point;
That was one lonely night!
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"
Well now I'm back at home and-
I’m looking forward to this life I live;
You know it's gonna haunt me,
So hesitation to this life I give.
You think you might cross over,
You caught between the devil and the deep blue sea;
You better look it over,
Before you make that leap!
And you know I'm fine, but I hear those voices at night
sometimes... they justify my claim,
and the public don’t dwell on my transmission
'cause it wasn’t televised...
But, it was a turning point,
Oh what a lonely night!
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"
My global position systems are vocally addressed;
They say the Nile used to run from east to west,
They say the Nile used to run from east to west.
I'm fine,
but I hear those voices at night,
sometime...
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!"
The star maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down...
Its all in your mind!"

Song of the Day 40!!!
Sorry its been a while since I posted one of these, but you cant blame me. I moved to a whole other state! Anywho, this editions SOTD is by a previous artist, Architecture in Helsinki. The first time I posted them, it was for the song "Heart it Races". Well, they are coming out with a new album and released this video and song as the first single. Mind you, the video is a little strange as is the song, but I think you will enjoy it!
beep beep beep beep beep
kid can you wake up
boy it aint long til the warning arrives
and its the shake up
thats got me waiting for your dynamite
i never knew your middle name
no need to play that game
i called your doctor up and he promised me pain was fun
tried a little bit of moving on
it lasted way too long
dressed up as bubblegum
im stuck to your shoe lets run
can you give me that
beep beep beep beep beep beep
two timed in your state of mind
these feet got left behind
we dive so deep we keep in touch with your buried bones
can i get a little fading on? (fade it fade it)
don't be long
dressed up as bubblegum
im stuck to your shoe lets run
can you give me that
beep beep beep beep beep beep
do they mistake us for an 8 thats turning into a 9
said if i played the evil lover can i trade you for your alibi
done living like a runaway
break those hearts so carefully
done living like a runaway
everytime that i turn around
i let you down, you read my mind
bring the beat back
beep beep beep beep beep beep
you got that beep, that beep, that bobobom
beep beep beep beep beep beep
beep beep beep beep beep
kid can you wake up
boy it aint long til the warning arrives
and its the shake up
thats got me waiting for your dynamite
i never knew your middle name
no need to play that game

Song of the Day 39!!!
Todays song of the day is by a band you may or may not have heard of. I have been listening to them a few years. They were on the SXSW cicruit a few years back. I have loved the music ever since. With the wonderful mesh of all the instruments topped of by the wonderful singing voice(s). This is one of their most famous songs called "Lost Coastlines". The video is definitly unique and I hope you enjoy.
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay. No one waving for me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet.
Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye, there might not be another stop, farther on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that light you love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high and far in some other sky.
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set and decide what her hands might be doing. Ruining the play and in the ensuing melee escape. We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered rattling our swords in service of some feted, foreign lord.
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him but we find that the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon these signs.
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la...

Song of the Day 38!!!
Ok, so this is the first song of the day of the New Year. Yay! This song of day is from a previous offender. Minus The Bear is one of my favorite bands. The harmonies of the guitars, the awesome bass line, the unbelievable drums and the eccentric keyboards and electronic sounds. They are all around a great band. This song is called "Knights" from their latest album "Planet of Ice". THe video is wonderfully done. I really hope you enjoy.
I owe you, don't I?
A little light today
But tomorrow, oh tomorrow
I owe you, don't I?
I know it ain't the money girl
There never was money
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
And it's alright
Let's call it good
A little more
Let's make this even
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
Is it really a sing
If we both come out even?
Come out even
I owe you, don't I?
A little light today
But tomorrow, oh tomorrow
I owe you, don't I?
I know it ain't the money girl
There never was money
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
And it's alright
Let's call it good
A little more
Let's make this even
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
Is it really a sing
If we both come out even?
Come out even
