Falling Down by Atreyu

I don't know much if anything about this group but I do know this song grows on me every time I hear it.

You're always looking back,

Runnin' from the past.

You're always sweating me about the next big heart attack.

You're lookin' over your shoulder starin' down the path.

(I'm fallin' down)

Fallin' down

Fallin' down

[Chorus: x2]

It's in your head all the voices mistaken,

Shake it off shake it off.

We're all dyin' in the end.

I fear I'll find the evidence so horrible,

So horrible

To clear my thoughts I drill a hole into my skull

Clean up my brains and sweep them underneath the rug

I need them more than I needed any other drug

I'm fallin' down

Fallin' down

Fallin' down

[Chorus: x2]

It's in your head all the voices mistaken

Shake it off shake it off

We're all dyin' in the end.

Hey, hey, hey

Come on

I'm fallin' down

Fallin' down

Fallin' down

[Chorus: x2]

It's in your head all the voices mistaken

Shake it off shake it off

We're all dyin' in the end

Go Ahead and Break My Heart by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani

This is one of his newer songs so I don't know it as well but I do like this with his girl helping out.

[Blake Shelton:]

The sun is setting on your last good try

Here I am again with half a goodbye

Wonder if you're really gone this time

Just when I'm about to lose my mind

There you are again on my phone

The moon is rising and you're all alone

Maybe we could just hang a while

Maybe we can make each other smile

Oh no, here I go

[Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani:]

Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

Why are you waiting, is it way too hard?

If moving on is what you wanna do

Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it, baby?

You can't tell me that we'll still be friends

And maybe someday we can try again

If you really need a brand new start

Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

[Gwen Stefani:]

I'd never ever meant to get so into you

Thought I was using you just to get me through

You know I'm broken, I don't trust anyone

Last thing I needed was to fall in love

You've got me dreaming, got me thinking, I've got some hope

There is nobody else I wanna get to know

But I'm so scared, I don't know what to do

How did you get me so into you?

Oh no, here I go

[Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani:]

Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

Why are you waiting, is it way too hard?

If moving on is what you wanna do

Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it, baby?

You can't tell me that we'll still be friends

And maybe someday we can try again

If you really need a brand new start

Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

There's your reasons

There's your cards

What are you waiting for?

Go on and break my heart

Yeah, you can't tell me that we'll still be friends

And maybe someday we can try again

If you really need a brand new start

Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

Oh, go on and break, go on and break my heart

Go on and break, go on and break my heart

Over

One by Ed Sheeran

I've heard a bunch of Ed Sheeran in the last week or so, so I guess it's fitting that I end on one. This is the first one from his older album though.

Tell me that you turned down the man

Who asked for your hand

'Cause you're waiting for me

And I know, you're gonna be away a while

But I've got no plans at all to leave

And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I

Have ever been and I'll never leave again

'Cause you are the only one

And all my friends have gone to find

Another place to let their hearts collide

[Regular version:] Just promise me, you'll never leave again

[Acoustic version:] Just promise me, you'll always be a friend

'Cause you are the only one

Take my hand and my

Heart and soul, I will

Only have these eyes for you

And you know, everything changes but

We'll be strangers if we see this through

You could stay within these walls and bleed

Or just stay with me

Oh lord, now

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I

Have ever been and I'll never leave again

'Cause you are the only one

And all my friends have gone to find

Another place to let their hearts collide

Just promise me, you'll always be a friend

'Cause you are the only one

I'm stumbling off drunk, getting myself lost

I am so gone, so tell me the way home

I listen to sad songs, singing about love

And where it goes wrong

All my senses come to life

While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I

Have ever been and I'll never leave again

'Cause you are the only one

And all my friends have gone to find

Another place to let their hearts collide

Just promise me, you'll always be a friend

'Cause you are the only one

This Is Gonna Hurt by Hoobastank

I had an older album of theirs that was pretty good so I checked out some of their newer stuff when I started my playlist and added this.

I was supposed to post this last night and I got lazy so there may be another post later today.

I’ve been living for too long

With a feeling something’s wrong

Like a thorn stuck in my side

Just out of reach for me to pull it out 

Now the picture’s crystal clear 

I can see that the end is near

We no longer to have pretend

All things have got to come to an end 

[Chorus:]

This is gonna hurt

This is gonna hurt you

This is gonna hurt you

More than it hurts me.

And I don’t wanna hurt

That’s why I’m gonna hurt you

That’s why I’m gonna hurt you

That’s how it’s gonna be.

And they say what doesn’t kill you

Well, I’m sure you know the rest 

If you’d shut up for a second 

I could get this off my chest 

Cause I’ve been though way too much 

And we’ve grown so out if touch

Now we can’t see eye to eye

It’s time to kiss it goodbye.

[Chorus:]

This is gonna hurt

This is gonna hurt you

This is gonna hurt you

More than it hurts me.

And I don’t wanna hurt

That’s why I’m gonna hurt you

That’s why I’m gonna hurt you

That’s how it’s gonna be.

This is gonna hurt you

That’s how it’s gonna be

This is gonna hurt you

Can’t you see the writing on the wall?

One more step before I end it all.

Closing my eyes, holding my breath,

Finish it now, get it over with. 

Can’t you see the writing on the wall?

One more step before I end it all.

Closing my eyes, holding my breath,

Finish it now, get it over with. 

[Chorus:]

This is gonna hurt

This is gonna hurt you

This is gonna hurt you

More than it hurts me.

And I don’t wanna hurt

That’s why I’m gonna hurt you

That’s why I’m gonna hurt you

That’s how it’s gonna be.

Thriller by Michael Jackson

You know I'm going to have this song on here. I'm sure there is probably not to many people who don't know it. I think I remember having a folder in school with this album cover on it.

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurkin' in the dark

Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,

You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run

You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun

You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl

But all the while you hear a creature creepin' up behind

You're outta time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes, girl

Thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call

And the dead start to walk in their masquerade

There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)

This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side

They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial

Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together

All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,

I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night

'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try

Thriller, thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, chiller

Thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try

Thriller, thriller night

So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

[Vincent Price:]

Darkness falls across the land

The midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

And whomsoever shall be found

Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the hounds of hell

And rot inside a corpse's shell

[Michael Jackson:]

I'm gonna thrill you tonight...

[Vincent Price:]

The foulest stench is in the air

The funk of forty thousand years

And grisly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive

Your body starts to shiver

For no mere mortal can resist

The evil of the thriller

[Into maniacal laugh, in deep echo]

Earth Song

Seven Bridges Road by Eagles

This is the 2nd song off this album which is my favorite of theirs. Probably because it's like having a greatest hits album. I normally don't like live albums but I don't remember this one bothering me.

There are stars

In the Southern sky

Southward as you go

There is moonlight

And moss in the trees

Down the Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby

Like some lonesome child

And I have loved you in a tame way

And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me

Has to turn from here and go

Running like a child from these warm stars

Down the Seven Bridges Road

There are stars in the Southern sky

And if ever you decide

You should go

There is a taste of thyme sweetened honey

Down the Seven Bridges Road

Life's Been Good

Super Freak by Rick James

Every time I hear this song, I find it hard to believe they allowed it on the radio back in the early 80's. Of course, before today, I thought it was from the 70's too so what do I know.

She's a very kinky girl

The kind you don't take home to mother

She will never let your spirits down

Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band

She says that I'm her all-time favorite

When I make my move to her room

It's the right time

She's never hard to please

Oh, no

That girl is pretty wild now

(The girl's a super freak)

The kind of girl you read about

(In new-wave magazines)

That girl is pretty kinky

(The girl's a super freak)

I really love to taste her

(Every time we meet)

She's all right, she's all right

That girl's all right

With me, yeah

Hey, hey, hey-heeeey

She's a super freak, super freak

She's super-freaky, yow

Everybody sing

Super freak, super freak

She's a very special girl

(The kind of girl you want to know)

From her head down to her toenails

(Down to her feet, yeah)

And she'll wait for me at backstage

With her girlfriends

In a limousine

(Going back in Chinatown)

Three's not a crowd to her, she says

(Ménage à trois)

Room 714, I'll be waiting

When I get there she's got incense

Wine and candles

It's such a freaky scene

That girl is pretty kinky

(The girl's a super freak)

The kind of girl you read about

(In new-wave magazines)

That girl is pretty wild now

(The girl's a super freak)

I really like to taste her

(Every time we meet)

She's all right, she's all right

That girl's all right

With me, yeah

Hey, hey, hey-heeeey

She's a super freak, super freak

She's super-freaky, yow

Temptations sing

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oooooh

Super freak, super freak

That girl's a super freak

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oooooh

She's a very kinky girl

The kind you don't take home to mother

She will never let your spirits down

Once you get her off the street

Changes by David Bowie

I didn't realize how old this song was until I saw the cover and looked it up.

I still don't know what I was waiting for

And my time was running wild

A million dead-end streets

And every time I thought I'd got it made

It seemed the taste was not so sweet

So I turned myself to face me

But I've never caught a glimpse

Of how the others must see the faker

I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Don't want to be a richer man

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Just gonna have to be a different man

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size

But never leave the stream

Of warm impermanence and

So the days float through my eyes

But still the days seem the same

And these children that you spit on

As they try to change their worlds

Are immune to your consultations

They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Don't tell them to grow up and out of it

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Where's your shame

You've left us up to our necks in it

Time may change me

But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me

Changes are taking the pace

I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Pretty soon now you're gonna get older

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

I said that time may change me

But I can't trace time

The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra

This is cover from 30 years prior but I know this version more. So that's 2 songs of his on here and they are both covers. I made my kids tell their great grandmother that I made them listen to him in the car.

Some day, when I'm awfully low

When the world is cold

I will feel a glow just thinking of you

And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm

And your cheeks so soft

There is nothing for me but to love you

And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearin' my fear apart

And that laugh..wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Never, never change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

It touches my foolish heart

Lovely ... Don't you ever change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you

a-just the way you look tonight

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,

Just the way you look tonight

New York, New York

Smoke Break by Carrie Underwood

I know this song but not as well as a lot of her other music. I just don't think it's come up a bunch on my playlist.

She's a small-town, hard-working woman just trying to make a living

Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths in a run-down kitchen

When you never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving

It's hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian

She said, "I don't drink"

"But sometimes I need a stiff drink"

"Sipping from a highball glass"

"Let the world fade away"

She said, "I don't smoke"

"But sometimes I need a long drag"

"Yeah, I know it might sound bad"

"But sometimes I need a smoke break"

He's a big-city, hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder

First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor

Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter

It's hard to be a good man, good son, do something good that matters

He said, "I don't drink"

"But sometimes I wanna pop that top"

"Take a swig and make the world stop"

"And watch it fade away"

He said, "I don't smoke"

"But sometimes I wanna light it up"

"Yeah, when things get tough"

"Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah"

So here's to you and here's to when the day gets long

Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off

I don't drink

But sometimes I need a stiff drink

Sipping from a highball glass

Let the world fade away

Yeah, and I don't smoke

But sometimes I need a long drag

Yeah, I know it might sound bad

But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a

When the day gets long

When the work's all done

When the sun sets

When you need to forget

Grab that cup,

Fill it up

Sip it slow

And let it all go

Rihanna by Fleetwood Mac

I don't think I realized how many of their songs that I knew. I've always really liked this song and I can't help but sing along with it when it comes on.

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night

And wouldn't you love to love her?

Takes to the sky like a bird in flight

And who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind

Would you stay if she promised to you heaven?

Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark

And then she is the darkness

She rules her life like a fine skylark

And when the sky is starless

All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind

Would you stay if she promised to you heaven?

Will you ever win?

Will you ever win?

Go Your Own Way

Berzerk by Eminem

This is the 2nd song from this album which you'll end up seeing a bunch of different albums because awhile back, I listened to an Eminem playlist that Spotify had and added some more songs that I wasn't as familiar with. Plus, I already had probably 5-6 songs before then.

I love this song mainly because of the Billy Squier background but when this comes on, I have to crank it as loud as possible.

Now this shit's about to kick off, this party looks wack

Let's take it back to straight hip-hop and start it from scratch

I'm 'bout to bloody this track up, everybody get back

That's why my pen needs a pad cause my rhymes on the ra-ag

Just like I did with addiction I'm 'bout to kick it

Like a magician, critics I turn to crickets

Got 'em still on the fence whether to picket

But quick to get impaled when I tell 'em stick it

So sick I'm looking pale, wait, that's my pigment

'Bout to go ham, ya bitch, shout out to Kendrick

Let's bring it back to that vintage Slim, bitch

The art of MCing mixed with da Vinci and MC Ren

And I don't mean Stimpy's friend, bitch

Been public enemy since you thought PE was gym, bitch

Kick your shoes off, let your hair down

(and go berzerk) all night long

Grow your beard out, just weird out

(and go berzerk) all night long

We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down

So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.

So baby make just like K-Fed and let yourself go, let yourself go

Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket

Life's too short to not go for broke

So everybody, everybody (go berzerk), shake your body

Guess it's just the way that I'm dressed, ain't it?

Khaki's pressed, Nike shoes crispy and fresh laced, so I guess it ain't

That aftershave or cologne that made 'em just faint

Plus I showed up with a coat fresher than wet paint

So if love is a chess game, check mate

But, girl, your body's banging, jump me in, dang, bang-bang

Yes siree, 'Bob', I was thinking the same thang

So come get on this Kid's rock, Baw with da baw, dang-dang

Pow-pow, chica, pow, chica, wow-wow

Got your gal blowing up a valve, valve-valve

Ain't slowing it down, throw in the towel, towel-towel

Dumb it down, I don't know how, huh-huh, how-how

Least I know that I don't know

Question is are you both so smart enough to feel stupid

Hope so, now hoe...

Kick your shoes off, let your hair down

(and go berzerk) all night long

Grow your beard out, just weird out

(and go berzerk) all night long

We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down

So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.

So crank the bass up like crazy and let yourself go, let yourself go

Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket

Life's too short to not go for broke

So everybody, everybody (go berzerk) shake your body

[Scratch]

And they say that love is powerful as cough syrup in Styrofoam

All I know is I fell asleep and woke up in that Monte Carlo

With the ugly Kardashian

Lamar, oh sorry yo, we done both set the bar low

Far as hard drugs are though, that's the past

But I done did enough Codeine to knock future into tomorrow

And, girl, I ain't got no money to borrow

But I am trying to find a way to get you alone (car note)

Oh, Marshall Mathers

Shit head with a potty mouth, get the bar of soap lathered

Kangols and car-heart-less cargos

Girl, you're fixing to get your heart broke

Don't be absurd, ma'am, you birdbrain baby

I ain't called anybody baby since Birdman, unless you're a swallow

Word, Rick, word, man, you heard, but don't get discouraged, girl

This is your jam, unless you got toe jam

Kick your shoes off, let your hair down

(and go berzerk) all night long

Grow your beard out, just weird out

(and go berzerk) all night long

We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down

So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.

So baby make just like K-Fed and let yourself go, let yourself go

Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket

Life's too short to not go for broke

So everybody, everybody (go berzerk), shake your body

We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down

So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.

So crank the bass up like crazy and let yourself go, let yourself go

Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket

Life's too short to not go for broke

So everybody, everybody (go berzerk) shake your body
