And I would kill to be with you tonight...
Aside from my innate ability to ruin things, another habit of mine is falling out of love for songs once they make the local radio stations. Take Marie Digby's Say It Again. I used to play that song 10 times in a day, listening to it till the words come out of my ears, memorizing it by heart. That song used to be so cool (it rated high in my book) but then I heard it being played on some mundane radio station a few months back and then my feelings changed. Bummer. Thank God they haven't made a “Tagalized” version of it. Please, don't destroy it for me.
Ergo, I listen to songs that have long enjoyed their share of the airwaves (old favorites) or those from artists who haven't made it “big” yet. I google, download, and listen to it till I fall asleep with an open mouth. In the past months of my DVD-induced nights, I've discovered several alternative bands who, in my opinion, are amazing lyricists.
I can't help but post the lyrics here. Try looking it up on youtube.com. It's amazing.
"The Glass Parade"
Just a voice inside you head
Whispering all the hope is dead
All the times you had to prove
That no one really loves you
I found you in a reflection
You didn't want me to see
I will give you all I have
Just look up, break down and believe
This is a glass parade
A fragile state
And I am trying not to break
And the stars are shining
The moon is right
And I would kill to be with you tonight
Wish you told me all the truth
So afraid to face an absolute
All the fights you had to lose
All the fear was put upon you
I found you when you were broken
Too many cracks of deceit
I will give you all I have
Just look up, break down and believe
This is a glass parade
A fragile state
And I am trying not to break
And the stars are shining
The moon is right
And I would kill to be with you tonight
This is the feeling, falling
So much I want to say
Show me the same emotion
Show me what's at stake
And how much can you take
When you realize your fate?
Hold me now as the car lights fade
And we are dancing in the glass parade
Dancing in the glass parade
We are dancing in the glass parade
It's just a voice inside your head...
