I'm going to use this journal to post songs I enjoy (mp3 and lyrics). I'll probably cycle the mp3s out, so get them within a week or they'll probably be gone. Hopefully I can use this to spur interest in some bands you haven't heard of, although given my penchant for listening to pop music, you've probably heard all these bands...

Please leave comments if you enjoy a particular song or suggestions that are similar to the song I post.

 

A change of pace, I'm going to post some melodic metal music... check this out (no lyrics, all melodies). In Flames - Man Made God.

The Delgados - I Fought the Angels (MP3)

I fought the angels here today
Hope my defeat will end this play
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly softly wins the game

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew all the time that they came out
Wish I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody knows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking out of bounds
If it's practiced by a fool

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend
So lend me an ear to lean upon
To speak to and learn my speaking form

Dexter Freebish - Tomorrow (MP3)

To all that came before me
To all that left their mark
To all that tried and failed so
To all that now are gone
I see myself in your words
I see you in my smile
Your wisdom's like a lighthouse
that guides me when I'm lost

I find myself at these crossroads, broken dreams
and I don't know what tomorrow might bring

I'm like a half of clay
that you molded with your hands
Raised me without shadows
and baptized me in the light
To those that came before me
I know I'll see you soon
And like a distant star in the night
I'm reaching out for you

I find myself at these crossroads, broken dreams
and I don't know what tomorrow might bring

Augustana - Boston (MP3)

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh dear, you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
Some world you must have crossed

You said, You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah - yeah

The essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts cross an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you

You said, You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah

She said, I think I'm going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
No one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
I'll fly 'em out to Spain

I think I'm going to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of the sunset
Here it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah

Boston... no one knows my name
