create the soundtrack to my life

35. Closing credits: Hourglass ~ The Hush Sound

^{As we sift through the hour glass
We realize that an hours passed
And not a person here is innocent
Were both as guilty as a sin}

It must have rained all through the night
The tires just couldn’t grip right
So I took another long sip
And wiped away my chapped lips

This is how it ends
We believe every lie and say we’ll be friends
How long will it last
Before we scratch all the scripts and we rework the cast

As the hour met the minute hand
We kept racing through this foreign land
With no direction or a telephone
Together we were all alone

That’s when the puzzle was finally pieced
We compromised until our bodies seized
To some we seem like colder creatures well
We were warm until we went to hell

Cast the first stone
Let’s pretend that we don’t have a
Past the worst one
Forbid forget forget that you exist

Well, that’s all. This goal was great fun—you remember all of the songs (old and new) that you love and just why you love them so much. <3

34. Closing credits: We Intertwined ~ The Hush Sound

^{In a field outside of town we could always be alone
Carry a blanket maybe a basket – and that’s it
Innocence was the key I was locked up never free
Until you turned me}

Like vines we intertwined (like vines we intertwined)
Carelessly growing up and growing old
Life was on our tongues (on our tongues)
And it tasted heavenly so good

I wake up and I feel alone
I was just asleep
Right where I belong
Inside this sad, sad song

I knew this was a dream it was too good to be true
Coincidences were a bit much too
Who wants to wake up?
Who wants to lose it?
Who wants to live in this place?
I don’t, so I’ll be sleepin in

Like vines we intertwined (like vines we intertwined)
Carelessly growing up and growing old
Life was on our tongues (on our tongues)
It tasted heavenly so good

I wake up but I feel alone
I was just asleep
Right where I belong
Inside this sad, sad song

Blankets here keep me from cold
Holding tightly my pillow
Frantically searching for her
Inside my head she is somewhere
She is somewhere

I wake up and I feel alone
I was just asleep
Right where I belong
Inside this sad, sad song

I wake up and I feel alone
I was just asleep
Right where I belong
Inside this sad, sad, sad song

I recently discovered The Hush Sound a few weeks ago—they’re absolutely fantastic. All of the members are so young and talented—they’ve got a great career ahead of them already.

33. Death scene: Time is running out ~ Muse

^{I think I’m drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you’ve created}

You’re something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me

Bury it
I won’t let you bury it
I won’t let you smother it
I won’t let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can’t push it underground
You can’t stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I’m addicted

Now that you know I’m trapped sense of elation
You’d never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won’t let you bury it
I won’t let you smother it
I won’t let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can’t push it underground
You can’t stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh

You will suck the life out of me

Bury it
I won’t let you bury it
I won’t let you smother it
I won’t let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can’t push it underground
You can’t stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?

Muse is probably one of my most favourite bands at the moment—their sound is so diverse, their lyrics are brilliant, and their videos are equally intriguing.

32. Death scene: What’s it feel like to be a ghost? ~ Taking Back Sunday

^{And then you said a little more about your dreams,
like it was my call (my call)
If you would only listen
Bypassed everything and went straight for the neck
(I start it)
Well, start it
(up nightly)
Dragged you out into the streets
before you buckle at your knees (buckle at your knees)}

What’s it feel like to be a ghost?
(Well, louder now, louder now)
So what’s it feel like to be a ghost? Ahh
Are you up for, are you up for this?
(Well, are you up for, are you up for..)
Are you up for, are you up for this?
(Well, are you up for, are you up for..)

This is quick but not quite painless,
It sits perched on your arm.
Tacky and irrelevant (So what?)
A permanent reminder that I’m crushed
(I’ll start it)
Well, start it
(up nightly)
Drag you out into those streets
before you buckle at your knees (buckle)

What’s it feel like to be a ghost?
(Well, louder now, louder now)
So what’s it feel like to be a ghost? Ahh
Are you up for, are you up for this?
(Well, are you up for, are you up for..)
Are you up for, are you up for this?
(Well, are you up for, are you up for..)

I said so, look closely
there might be something you’d like
What was it like?
(oh and I…)
looked so close, it’s been months who knows if I,
will get this right.
(Oh and I..)
look so closely, there might be something you’d like
What was it like?

Oh and I…

So, what’s it feel like to be a ghost?
(Well, louder now, louder now.)
So what’s it feel like to be a ghost? Ahh
Are you up for, are you up for this?
(Well, are you up for, are you up for…)
Are you up for, are you up for this?
(Are you up for, are you up for…)

They may have changed their sound in their album Louder Now, but to be honest, I rather enjoyed the album nonetheless.

31. Death scene: I want to be buried in your backyard ~ Nightmare of You

^{The streets are all violent with murderous excitement
The hunter and the prey are dancing every day
That waltzing gibberish where inter becomes outlandish
I’m in a bad way every passing day}

So where do we go from here I’ll say
You’re a shining star
You’d do great in LA.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Meghan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you’re still in my heart
You’re still in my heart

A flash of dark interest steers us into a car crash
Uniting our remains a fiery hurray
Our hands touch unnoticed, pressed up against melting glass
You’re calling out my name as the air escapes

Where do we go from here I’ll say
You’re a shining star
You’d do great in LA.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Meghan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you’re still in my heart

Where do we go from here I’ll say
You’re a shining star
You’d do great in LA.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Meghan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you’re still in my heart
when the flowers grow just know you’re in my heart
when the flowers grow just know you’re still in my heart

One of my favourite song of theirs—so sweet.

30. Long night alone: The days go by oh so slow ~ Nightmare of You

^{Take a seat, and catch your breath
You’re only working towards your death
For as the days go by
They go by oh so slow
But your blonde hair and gaping eyes
Send tingles down my nervous spine
And now the days go by
They go by oh so slow}

But I’m yours if you want it
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world

And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
Out there

In the grass at Union Square
I touched your face, pushed back your hair
And said, “The days go by…
They go by oh so slow.”
(Days go oh so slow)
And in a room, upon your bed
We tangled arms and crossed our legs
When you sleep alone
The days go oh so slow

But I’m yours if you want it
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world

And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
Out there

I am yours if you want it
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours; we’ll hide indoors
Petrified of the world
Oh!

And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart’s dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there
I’m out there
I am out there

I’m surprised that Nightmare of You isn’t a huge, famous band (not that that matters, of course). There isn’t one song of theirs that I don’t absolutely fall in love with.

29. Long night alone: Sitting, Waiting, Wishing ~ Jack Johnson

^{Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you’d see the signs}

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain’t the Lord, no I’m just a fool
Learning lovin’ somebody don’t make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn’t worth never having you

Maybe you’ve been through this before
But it’s my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they’re directed at you

I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it’s not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I’ve had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I’m already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well, if I was in your position
I’d put down all my ammunition
I’d wonder why’d it taken me so long

But Lord knows that I’m not you
And if I was, I wouldn’t be so cruel
Cause waitin’ on love ain’t so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

No, I can’t I always be waiting, waiting on you
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool

I love Jack Johnson’s music, lyrics, and voice. His music is so soothing. =)

28. Long night alone: Title and Registration ~ Death Cab For Cutie

^{The glove compartment is inaccurately named
And everybody knows it.
So I’m proposing a swift orderly change.}

Cause behind its door there’s nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all I find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your taillights fading east
To find yourself a better life.

I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When I stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget
And that’s how this idea was drilled into my head

Cause it’s too important
To stay the way it’s been

There’s no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it’s gone it’s like it wasn’t there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night

There’s no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it’s gone it’s like it wasn’t there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night (up all night)
When I’m lying awake at night.

No comment really, the whole song speaks for itself.

27. Regretting: Look What You’ve Done ~ Jet

^{Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to prove}

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
‘Cause I just can’t think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

I nearly forgot how much I used to love this song—until it came up when I shuffled my songs on my computer.

26. Partying—Can’t Stop ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers

^{Can’t stop addicted to the shin dig
Cop top he says I’m gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunkt the pistol that you pay for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
Eastside love is living on the westend
Knock out but boy you better come to
Don’t die you know the truth is some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burnin’ so bright I wonder what the wave meant
White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
Go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with 50 belly dancers}

The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can’t stop
Ever wonder if it’s all for you
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave can’t stop
Come and tell me when it’s time to

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone
So smart she’s leading me to ozone
Music the great communicator
Use two sticks to make it in the nature
I’ll get you into penetration
The gender of a generation
The birth of every other nation
Worth your weight the gold of meditation
This chapter’s going to be a close one
Smoke rings I know your going to blow one
All on a spaceship persevering
Use my hands for everything but steering
Can’t stop the spirits when they need you
Mop tops are happy when they feed you
J. Butterfly is in the treetop
Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

Wait a minute I’m passing out
Win or lose just like you
Far more shocking
Than anything i ever knew
How about you
10 more reasons
Why I need somebody new just like you
Far more shocking than anything I ever knew
Right on cue

Can’t stop addicted to the shin dig
Cop top he says I’m gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunkt the pistol that you pay for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
Eastside love is living on the westend
Knock out but boy you better come to
Don’t die you know the truth is some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burnin’ so bright I wonder what the wave meant

Kick start the golden generator
Sweet talk but don’t intimidate her
Can’t stop the gods from engineering
Feel no need for any interfering
Your image in the dictionary
This life is more than ordinary
Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
Come from space
To teach you of the pliedes
Can’t stop the spirits when they need you
This life is more than just a read thru

Catchy song, great lyrics, superb band.
