I used to be obsessed with this song. The lyrics are very creative and the video is very very well done.
Definitely this song is underrated. I remember listening to it time after time in 90 something, I was obsessed with it.
Read the lyrics, what do you think this song means?

MMM MMM MMM MMM - Crash Test Dummies lyrics
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm
Once there was This Kid Who got Into An Accident And Couldn't Come To School but When He Finally Came Back his Hair Had Turned From Black Into Bright White he Said That It Was From When the Cars Had Smashed So Hard
then There Was This Girl Who wouldn't Go To Change With The Girls In The Change Room but When They Finally Made Her they Saw Birthmarks All Over Her Body she Couldn't Quite Explain It they'd Always Just Been There
both Girl And Boy Were Glad one Kid Had It Worse Than That
'cause Then There Was A Boy Whose parents Made Him Come Right Home Directly After School and When They Went To Their Church they Shook And Lurched All Over The Church Floor he Couldn't Quite Explain It they'd Always Just Gone There
OMG I love this song sooooo much. I totally forgot about it.
You're the voice by John Farnham
Here are the lyrics
You're the voice by John Farnham
We have, the chance to turn the pages over We can write what we want to write We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older We're all someone's daughter We're all someone's son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o We're not gonna sit in silence We're not gonna live with fear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
This time, we know we all can stand together With the power to be powerful Believing, we can make it better ooooh, We're all someone's daughter We're all someone's son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun?...
You're the voice, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o We're not gonna sit in silence We're not gonna live with fear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
[Instrumental(Bag Pipes)]
ooooh, We're all someone's daughter We're all someone's son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun?...
You're the voice, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o We're not gonna sit in silence We're not gonna live with fear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o (x3)
You're the voice, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o
This year the talent on American Idol is AMAZING. They are original. Talented. Can sing and they have a personality.
My number one choice would be "Brooke White", she is very good. She sings with emotion and you can tell she loves to sing and loves the songs she is singing. She plays the Piano and the guitar.
Sometimes I really want to lie down and just forget the world.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars Lyrics
We'll do it all, everything, on our own We don't need anything or anyone
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me And just forget the world
I don't quite know how to say how I feel Those three words are said too much They're not enough
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me And just forget the world Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace to remind me to find my own
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me And just forget the world Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes They're all I can see I don't know where Confused about how as well I just know that these things Will never change for us at all
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me And just forget the world
Love the song, love the lyrics and love the video.
Matchbox Twenty - Let's See How Far We've Come Lyrics
(Hello, hello, hello)
I’m waking up at the start of the end of the world But it's feeling just like every other morning before Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I Started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
But I believe the world is burning to the ground Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Well I believe it all is coming to an end Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know And I can't remember caring for an hour or so Started crying and I couldn't stop myself I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street, took a look at myself Said where you going man, you know the world is headed for hell? Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to
I believe the world is burning to the ground Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out Let's see how far we've come (right now) Let's see how far we've come Well I, believe it all is coming to an end Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend Let's see how far we've come (oh yeah) Let's see how far we've come
It's gone, gone, baby it's all gone There's no one on the corner and there's no one at home Well it was cool, cool, it was just all cool Now it's over for me, and it's over for you It's gone, gone, baby its all gone There's no one on the corner and there's no one at home Well it was cool, cool, it was just all cool Now it's over for me and it's over for you
I believe the world is burning to the ground Oh well I guess we're gonna find out Let's see how far we've come (oh yeah) Let's see how far we've come Well I, believe it all is coming to an end Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend Let's see how far we've come (oh yeah) Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come
I don't care what some grinches say about Christmas tunes but I love them and they make Christmas so special. Every single store front out there is broadcasting the music and I can't get enough.
So here are my favourites in no particular order.
1) Jingle Bell Rock: One of the holiday songs that ROCK sung by Billy Idol. See Dave? He's family friendly too.
2)Jingle Bells: It's not Christmas without this classic, I chose a jazzy version by Diana Krall who happens to be Canadian.
3)I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas: Don't ask me why but I love it and I think it's cute. Apparently there's a story behind it, check it out
4)The Christmas Song - Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire: sung by Nat King Cole
5) Deck the halls: sung By twisted sister. A rock version.
6)Let it snow: by Michael Bublé. He has the most amazing voice and he's good looking AND he's funny! Ahhh, I love Bublé .
Here's an interview with him...SIGH...so hot! And funny AND he's another Canadian.
7) ROCKIN' AROUND : By Brenda Lee Another rokin' song Thanks to Moi for reminding me of another favorite.

This is , I think , my favorite movie soundtrack ever.

The next one might put you to sleep but I like it, makes me think. Apparently Link Wray was a great very influential guitar player...never heard of him, heheeee.
Rumble - Link Wray
Next is Glad and Sorry by The Faces from their Ooh La La album.
I couldn't find it :( I love this song, I found the "The Black Crows" singing it, it was sung best by the faces so , sorry people, try to download the original, it's great.
Now this is good, ok I am biased so I can't give you an unbiased opinion because I like the whole soundtrack.
Strange Brew - Cream
I already featured the next song on the blog before, a bunch of fugly dudes but damn, I like this song, but honestly, dudes, you ugly, lol.

All The Tired Horses (Bob Dylan)
I like this one
Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See
Nikka Costa - Push & Pull

One observation, why are all the 70's singers wanting in the looks and style department? Seriously? wus up with that?
Nothing to say about this song, I really enjoy listening to it a lot.
No Heaven - DJ Champion
No Heaven lyrics
Oh lord (oh lord)...
Oh boy I thought I told you Well I told you but I thought you know There ain't no heaven Oh lord, there ain't no heaven There ain't no heaven On the county road
Don't talk about it Boy oh boy, don't talk about it Don't talk about it If you do, I'll cry Don't come around me Oh lord, don't come around me Don't come around me If you do, I'll die
Oh lord, there ain't no heaven Oh lord, there ain't no heaven
Down at the station stood my dear old mother She keep on, keep on screamin' and cryin' "Oh lord I wonder what my son has done"
Oh lord, there ain't no heaven Oh lord, there ain't no heaven Oh lord
Did you bring me, bring me any silver He didn't bring me, bring me any gold Oh did you see me, workin' on South Carolina Just to see me work on the county road
Oh lord (oh lord), there ain't no heaven Oh lord (oh lord), there ain't no heaven (Oh lord, oh lord)
There ain't no heaven (there ain't no heaven) (Oh lord, there ain't no heaven) Oh lord (oh lord), there ain't no heaven
I really really like this song. Her voice is just great. By the way, the first time i heard her talk I was shocked, she sounds like a girl from da hood and it was a shock cos she looked so dainty and beautiful singing fallin on the piano.

So did you notice how T-Pain is like almost in all the songs? what's up with that?
I am not sure if this is accurate but it is very interesting. I also never knew that the song killing me softly is about Don McLean!
Don McLean - American Pie
American Pie - Don McLean
A long, long time ago... I can still remember How that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver With every paper I’d deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride, But something touched me deep inside The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie. Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die. "this’ll be the day that I die."
Did you write the book of love, And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock ’n roll, Can music save your mortal soul, And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you’re in love with him `cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym. You both kicked off your shoes. Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died.
I started singin’, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die. "this’ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone, But that’s not how it used to be. When the jester sang for the king and queen, In a coat he borrowed from james dean And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down, The jester stole his thorny crown. The courtroom was adjourned; No verdict was returned. And while lennon read a book of marx, The quartet practiced in the park, And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died.
We were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die. "this’ll be the day that I die."
Helterskelter in a summer swelter. The birds flew off with a fallout shelter, Eight miles high and falling fast. It landed foul on the grass. The players tried for a forward pass, With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune. We all got up to dance, Oh, but we never got the chance! `cause the players tried to take the field; The marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died?
We started singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die. "this’ll be the day that I die."
Oh, and there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space With no time left to start again. So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick! Jack flash sat on a candlestick Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage. No angel born in hell Could break that satan’s spell. And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite, I saw satan laughing with delight The day the music died
He was singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die. "this’ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news, But she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store Where I’d heard the music years before, But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed, The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed. But not a word was spoken; The church bells all were broken. And the three men I admire most: The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died.
And they were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die. "this’ll be the day that I die."
They were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."
This song has been always one of my favourites, year 93 is when I started getting obsessed with music, and I have to tell you , years 93- 94 had SO MANY amazing songs and this is one of them.
Now, why are all talented artists troubled either they OD or kill themselves or something.
Do you need to have a tortured soul to produce good music?
Blind Melon - No Rain
Blind Melon - No Rain
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two and speak my point of view But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want someone to say to me oh, oh, oh, oh I'll always be there when you wake yea, yea Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape escape......escape......escape......
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain ya don't like my point of view ya think I'm insane Its not sane......it's not sane.
I just want someone to say to me oh, oh, oh, oh I'll always be there when you wake yea, yea Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey So stay with me and I'll have it made
(I'll have it made I'll have it made You know we're really gonna, really gonna have it made Gonna have it made ahhh,ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)
This blog has been neglected in my absence :'( .... sniff sniff .. don't worry blog your mommy is here :p
Starry Starry Night - Don Mclean
Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey, Look out on a summer's day, With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and the daffodils, Catch the breeze and the winter chills, In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night. Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue. Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain, Weathered faces lined in pain, Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you, But still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night, You took your life, as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls, Frameless head on nameless walls, With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met, The ragged men in the ragged clothes, The silver thorn of bloody rose, Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will... _______________________________________________________
And more Suzie ... she's Canadian, eh...all those American show's like rockstar Inxs and Rockstar supernova were won by Canadians...what can I say, we Canadians are talented .. hehehehe..did you notice the we? As if inno for real, I just became Canadian last year ... hahahaha ...anyways, enough of my silly talk, enjoy the song.

NAH.. A more realizable question would be what are the winning lottery numbers for this week...lol.
Joan Osbourne - One of Us
If God had a name, what would it be And would you call it to His face If you were faced with Him in all His glory What would you ask if you had just one question Yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What if God was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make His way home

Beauty queen of only eighteen She had some trouble with herself He was always there to help her She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles And wound up at your door I’ve had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don’t mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful I know I tend to get insecure It doesn’t matter anymore
It’s not always rainbows and butterflies It’s compromise that moves us along My heart is full and my door’s always open You can come anytime you want
I don’t mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved
I know where you hide Alone in your car Know all of the things that make you who you are I know that goodbye means nothing at all Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
I love this song soooooooooooo much, for real, like a lot!
the white stripes - seven Nation Army
I'm gonna fight 'em all A nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message coming from my eyes Says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that aint what you want to hear But thats what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones Says find a home
I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will sing no more And the stains coming from my blood Tell me go back home
OMG ... I LOVE IT ... I'm gonna listen to it again...the guitar play is just amazing!
