Flashback: SOTD 3 & 4

We are finally moving away from Modest Mouse. Sad, I know. But there are great artists to come!

Song 3 is by the band, Mates of States, and the song is called "Fraud of the 80s". I love Mates of States for their simple drum and keyboard mix and how they make it sound so complex. So many wonderul layers in all of their songs. They later become the 10th song artists, but you will have to wait for that. Meanwhile, enjoy!



Don't put your hand in the pockets that feed you
You might not get it out
Remember the weight of the yellowish night
No cat is for this dull world

I spent a long time trying to see through
People trying to call me out
Remember the weight of the glorious night
That's just so we drink it in

See the glow up above
See it glow telling us to reign the streets of London
Like the lords of other towns
The glistening of make-up helps to construct a better clown

And you will surely find this news pleasing to your ears

See the glow up above
See it glow telling us it rained the streets of London
Like it pours on other towns
But the glistening of make-up helps to construct a better clown

And you will surely find this news pleasing to your ears

You can surely try to be more alive




The 4th song is by a man that goes by the name Gotye. This was the first song I put on where I was just as much in love with the video as the song. They are both so whimsical and bizarre that you wont be able to forget them that easily. Please enjoy!



Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine

Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this

You have lost
(Too much love)
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart

You don't get burned
('Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see.

Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love

Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this

Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you cant live like this

Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don't wanna waste my love
