Song of the Day 45!!!

WOW! I bet you werent expecting a 3rd one were you! Well, whats done is done. This is the last one today, I swear. This one is by Vampire Weekend and the song is called "Giving Up The Gun". Not only is the song super addictive, but the video is great too. What other video mixes Jake Gyllenhaal, RZA from Wu tang, Lil' Jon, and a Jonas Brother? I mean, seriously! Enjoy it!






Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

When I was 17
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete

And now my body fades
Behind a brass charade
And I’m obsolete

But if the chance remained
To see those better days
I’d cut the cannons down

My ears are blown to bits
From all the rifle hits
But I still crave that sound

CHORUS

I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight

Your Tokugawa smile
And your garbage style
Used to save the night

You felt the coming wave
Told me we’d all be brave
You said you wouldn’t flinch

But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven’t moved an inch

CHORUS

I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on

CHORUS

Song of the day 44!!!

OMG! I made another post to try and make up for the time gap! Ah! Ok. This one I actually heard on the radio a few days ago. It was the acoustic version, which is good, but the album version is great as well. The band is called "Mumford & Sons" and the song is called "Little Lion Man". I think it mixes great guitar and great vocals. I also LOOOOVE the harmonies. Harmonies always get me. *sigh* Enjoy!!!





Weep for yourself, my man,
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep Little Lion Man,
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself,
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my...

Tremble for yourself, my man,
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble Little Lion Man,
You'll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face,
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Now learn from your mother or else spend your days Biting your own neck

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear? (x2)

Didn't I, my dear?

Ahhhhh......

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear? (x2)

Didn't I, my dear?

Song of the Day 43!!!

Wow! I havent done one of these for a while. Maybe its because Myspace has changed so much crap and doing this on facebook is way too difficult. I think I will just post these to my blog (sotdarchive.blogspot.com) and just post that there is a new one up. What do you all say about that? James, you have the largest say in this since you are like....really cool.

Anyway, the song of the day is by a band I recently heard of. Its a blessing ( and sometimes a curse due to the replay of songs) to have an alternative station from Portland that I can listen to all the time. I heard this song and couldnt get it out of my head. It by a band called "The Big Pink" and the song is called "Dominos". I hope you enjoy it!




These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.

As soon as I love her,
It's been too long.
Talks of future with you makes me ill.
Swallow my sugar,
'Cause I needed a loan.
Let's get out and smash any dreams of love.

These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
(Dominos.)

Three words we shared,
Said you weren't only all.
Stuck with forever,
To the point of tears.
Swimming with the villa
Where we slowly drown.
Ending at never haunting melody.

These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
(Dominos.)

As soon as I love her,
It's been too long.
And I really love breaking your heart.
These silver apples will shine on,
I was wrong.
The hardest love has the coldest end.

These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
These girls fall like dominos.
Dominos.
Dominos.
