Just A Dream -Carrie Underwood

I have been in love with this song for a very long time. It's another one of those songs that is sad, but because I'm a freak I love :P Oh well. Video for you and lyrics for me :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLntFKtR66g&ob=av2e
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand
-Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
-The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
-Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
-Oh, Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
-Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

No Love -Simple Plan

Watching a group of teenage boys mutilate a dead bird that I wanted to save less than 5 minutes earlier is possibly the worst thing that could have happened today. I let my tongue slip. I shouldn't have. So here's a song. No youtube so lyrics is all I can offer. Sorry guys.
"There's only hate, there is only tears. There's only hate, there's no love here. So what will you do? There's only lies. There's only pain. There's only fear, there is no love here. Broken down like a mirror smashed to pieces. You learned the hard way to shut your mouth and smile. If these walls could talk they'd have so much to say because every time you fight the scars will heal but they're never gonna go away."
I can't believe that boys can act like that. And also that I will watch them, or others like them, act that way their whole lives. It's.... unbelieveable

Chasing Immortals

Door flies open,
You float through.
A ghost of me,
The present you.
I stare at you
Not amused
Where have you been?
I'm so confused.
Your hazy eyes and vacant stare
Have I always looked this unaware?
I want to make you turn away.
This isn't me!
I want to say.
But something in you strikes toward home
A roaring ache,
an unconscious moan.
This is what I will always be.
Somewhere deep inside of me.
I hear her whisper
'Funny right?
That I've always been here as you slept at night.
That all your dreams you thought were your own
Were my creations,
from my hand sown.'
I won't believe it,
I turn my head.
I refuse to let one tear be shed.
She is not who I am,
nor who I will be,
I will grow past her and never again will she meet me.
Back out the door, towards the sidewalk, I shove her.
The door once again closed and bolted.
Facing away I shutter.
A bitter, cold night to be chasing my shadows.
To never see her again is something that I can't even fathom.
No matter how many battles though,
She will never prevail,
as long as it is towards my dreams that I sail.

For Lucas. The boy who asked for poetry :)

Only One -Yellowcard

I love this song for the intense drops and pick ups. The music video is curious but I like it. So here it is. I present to you an Yellowcard original :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJLkcPhVi9w&ob=av2e
"I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do. you are my only, my only one"
"Here I go, So dishonestly. Leave a note for you, my only one. And I know you can see right through me, so let me go and you will find someone."

Swing, Swing - All American rejects

I revisited my Pandora today. I remembered how much of a love- hate relationship I have with it. I love the variety and new artists I can find. I HATE the fact that I can only play the song once and that I can't reverse! Also my Pandora has been skipping today. So when this song came on I heard 30 seconds before it changed. I was just staring like 'No! I love that song!!!!' So here. Hopefully you guys will give it a better chance than Pandora did!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzLBnoAf67g

Candles -Hey Monday

Here is my Hey Monday post! I picked this song because I l-o-v-e candles. A lot! I'm an outdoors-y person but little indoor fires are a pretty good big fire substitute. I like the vocals of this song. Anyway, enjoy!

Also, I'm not sure if I like the new post window... We'll see I guess!

'How Does That Make You Feel?'

I feel really witty today :P It's strange. I'm usually really wry with my humor. I kind of feel like you should earn a good laugh with your intelligence instead of having someone lend you one. But regardless I've been really wry today, but in a good way. I've been totally cute :P Anyway I hope you guys are having a good day. Standardized Testing is NOT fun :P I think it's eating my insides.
Friends are silly people. They always try to convince you that you're 'awesome'. Well, I'm going to tell you guys now. I am not awesome. I am scared of the dark (Actually it's the things in the dark if we're going to get specific :P) and I blog my feelings out. Which I love! Don't get me wrong. People who hate on this have never tried. But I'm not awesome. You guys read this, you knooowww what I mean :P But I'm alive and I'm ok. I don't need a pep talk all the time :P I feel like my friends want to be my shrink! So how does that make me feel? Awkward :)

Power Outage

Not having power is cool in a way. I kinda like the whole candle flickering ambiance. But not having Internet isn't as cool :-/ But I have power now and my candles are dying out. I'm tired. Had a really rough day. Nothing a good song couldn't fix but I'm honestly too exhausted to search. So here are a few good songs off the top of my head: Iris (Goo goo dolls), All the small things (Blink 182), Someday when I stop Loving You (Carrie Underwood), Summer Hair=Forever Young (The Academy Is...)
So, I'm thinking I need to look up who Hey Monday is. If you guys beat me to it let me know if you approve :) I reserve the right to make a post about any of the above songs later when I'm not feeling like one of the walking dead!

Also: I think it's frankly sad that I misspelled my correction to 'Scorch Trials' twice in my other post about the James Dashner series. I feel really unintelligent for that :P Oh well. I meant well! I promise.
I bid you goodnight

Don't You Remember -Adele

Adele is a pretty well known artist recently where I am. I felt a want to post one of her songs though. I don't know. This one appealed to me so I'm searching for the reason as I type.I think it reminds me of myself from a few years ago. I kind of hoped that someone would remember why they loved me and forgive me, but they didn't. That was hard and I lost a really good friendship and relationship from that. Worst part is the friendship. I could have used that still. *Sigh* Nothing I can do now. He didn't remember. But not everyone will I guess. Luckily I do. I believe I've learned a big lesson from that. I thank him for that if nothing else. I may not have healed from my actions but I'm wiser and more apathetic for them. I am sorry still if you're reading this J.

Excited!!!!!!!!

I am so excited to be going to my FIRST booth sale soon! I'll be selling my earrings, bracelets and scarves. I wasn't sure I would be excepted but I am so relieved to get word that I'm in! I hope I can raise some funds so I can get some much needed supplies! I want to get more things to make quilts out of. I think it would help me make them a little more precise :P Anyway, wish me luck!!!!

Long Time No Listen

So I haven't been on here in a while! It feels so... foreign to me. I have cool news though! I helped build a house today! It's going to a family that needs a home and they get to help build it too. It was really exciting. I also ran two races today. Can anyone say 'exhausted'?Found a song that I've known for a long time, but not heard in a while, today. It's more metal than I usually like but why not? :) Its a little hateful, so bear with me.

Look What You've Done -Jet

I have a confession: Slow sad songs are the key to my musical happiness. It's a little strange. But honestly I can listen to a happy song (or even better yet a sassy, mad song) and feel good for a little while but it's songs like this that just make me smile. Because... they hold emotion, I guess. So on this lovely Easter morning I heard this song and oh. My heart just ripped open and healed in two seconds flat. The piano part, the sad, faintly accented voice. Mmmm. Nothing better in my opinion. Hope everyone has had a good day. Maybe if you're like me this song will make it better :P

A Losing Battle

It's heavier than I am. Its more dangerous than I am. And here I am trying to push it up and down a hill. Doesn't sound like a good idea now does it? It wasn't. Having an obnoxiously heavy lawn mower just never works out. Especially when you only weigh 100 pounds. I'm surprised I didn't die :P Or that the lawn mower didn't feel bad for me and just roll over me and put me out of my misery. But anyhow, I lived! I really need some better upper arm strength though :P And maybe a lighter lawn mower!

Don't You Worry Your Pretty Little Mind

Funny how when the only person in this world who loves me is screaming at me is when I want to post love songs. Well, I hope this song brightens someone's day.

Dying For

Dying slowly.
Dying fast.
Dying adventurously.
Dying patiently.
Dying always.
Some of us may be gone this very day,
but we can't just let it end that way.
We have to keep fighting and finding our place,
a place that no other could ever fill.
If we just lay downtrodden, on a grassy hill
connections will be broken and fate will be stopped.
No more miracles or amazing works in our plot.
I don't want to die awaiting my last breathing moment.
I want to know I've made every atonement.
If one connection is left unmade,
it could result in dismay.
No human could have planned it.
It is past definition.
But we must realize that our lives are so much bigger than us.
And worth all the fuss.
Fighting for more moments of living each day.
Making sure no human can take it away.
That type of dying will be my only way.

Today's Going to be Good

I feel like today is going to be a good day. I'm happy, birds are chirping, I have some punk-pop blasting :P Yep, all my bases are covered. I just need a picnic blanket and some sunscreen and I'd be set. Or you know a creek to go swimming in :P Which is actually going to happen later. So yay! I love how all the Dogwoods are blooming. The pink ones are gorgeous! Anyway, have an awesome day :)

I'd do Anything -Simple Plan

Love the chords in this song. And the song in general of course :P Enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EbSA97tPvk
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
-And I wrote this letter in my head
Because so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone And I can't think straight
-This could be the one last chance To make you understand
-I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Because somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Because I know I won't forget you
-Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
-So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
-This could be the one last chance to make you understand

And I just can't let you leave me once again
-I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Because somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Because I know I won't forget you
-I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
And I'd do anything for you
-I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Because somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Because I know I won't forget you
-I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Because I know  I won't forget you

Carry On - Fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj44gF0H96c&feature=relatedThis song was brought to me by destiny :P I didn't listen to it as youtube recommended it to me time and time again. The my friend gave my the lyrics and said it reminded her of me. Well here it is! I listened multiple times. Thank you Maxine

You Are My Sunshine

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy

When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

-The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

-You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

-I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;

-You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

-You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;

-You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

Picture Perfect -Every Avenue

I'm not. Are you?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhJTVTBNKUw&feature=g-vrec&context=G2e33bccRVAAAAAAAAAA

Society *Sigh*

Don't you just love a nice little "I'm better than you and you had better accept that" stare off? I do! (Not) They just (do not) make my day. Our society is made up of a lot of those now a days. I especially (do not) love them when everyone forgets that you are injured so they think they are really superior. They just (do not) have the best personalities! It just amazes me! They can get so contrary and wound up over such little things. Anyway, I plan to be a revolutionary :P I will actually be nice to people. Amazing isn't it!

Only Place I Call Home - Every Avenue

To my baby. I know it's hard but I promise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b91weNkDII4
I like this song. It's sweet and  has a good rhythm. The singer has a pretty nice range as well. Help a  soprano girl out ;) Hope you guys like it too.

Not even one?

So no one has April Fools day-ed me today! I'm so confused. Usually I have to mentally prepare myself for the first day of April so that I don't make myself look too ignorant. But not a single person said a word about it to me today. It's crazy. I feel like a nice long youtube surf. Hopefully I'll bring back a good song for you guys :)

New People

Met two German girls at church today. They were very pretty and VERY tall. I had heels on and they still surpassed me by a good margin. I liked them. They were quiet but I think the language barrier was the main reason for that. The girl closest to my age smiled at me a lot. Their family was very nice as well. It was nice to have them come visit with us today :)
