SOTD: Flashback 25!!!

I've liked Jack Conte for a long time. He is half of the famous Youtube group Pomplamoose. And here is a random fact: Jack Conte was the voice of young adult male in Sims 2. Anyway, this is one of his early mashup videos and he is mashing up "First Day Of My Life" by Bright Eyes (which was SOTD 21) and Aphex Twin. Enjoy the flashback!!!




This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am 
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you 
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up 
And you said "this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you 
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Song of the Day 85!!!

HEY! *I say nervously. Hoping you wouldn't notice my absence.* Sorry it has been so long. I know I promised I would try for at least once a month and I have been slacking. I apologize profusely. I now I have two jobs and have recently moved, so there is that. ANYWAY! I will post a few videos this month to make up for it, so get ready for that.

On to this edition. A few weeks ago, my roommate, Brooke, was humming and singing this song and it seemed like a song I had heard before, so I looked up the lyrics. I got re-hooked on Metric instantly. Technically, they are appearing on my list for the second time since they wrote and performed SOTD 71 "Black Sheep" from the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World soundtrack, but I think you will really enjoy this one. The song is called "Help, I'm Alive.". Enjoy!!!

I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive 
My heart keeps beating like a hammer 
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive 
My heart keeps beating like a hammer 
Beating like a hammer 

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need 
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still 
Beating like a hammer 
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive 
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft 
Tough to be tender 
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive 
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer 

If we're still alive 
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer 
Beating like a hammer 
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
