FOSTER THE PEOPLE: PUMPED UP KICKS.

The First time I heard FOSTER THE PEOPLE I remember didn't like it. I thought they were the worst band I've ever heard in all the days of my life. But now, after be absolutely bewitched with songs like PUMPED UP KICKS I changed my opinion about it. And I like it. Hope you like it in the begin.

LYRICS

Robert's got a quick hand

He'll look around the room he won't tell you his plan

He's got a rolled cigarette

Hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid

Yeah he found a six shooter gun

In his dad's closet in a box of fun things

And i don't even know what

But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, outrun my gun

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

Better run, better run faster than my bullet

Daddy works a long day

He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late

And he's bring me a surprise

Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice

I've waited for a long time

Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger

I reason with my cigarette

Then say your hair's on fire you must have lost your wits yeah

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, outrun my gun

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

Better run, better run faster than my bullet

VIENNA TENG: HARBOR.

Probably "Warm Strangers", the second album from VIENNA TENG is her best work to date. Today I want (or need) to listen HARBOR. A precious but imperfect song. Hope you like.

ALBUM VERSION

LYRICS

We're here where the daylight begins

The fog on the streetlight slowly thins

Water on water's the way

The safety of shoreline fading away

Sail your sea

Meet your storm

All I want is to be your harbor

The light in me

Will guide you home

All I want is to be your harbor

Fear is the brightest of signs

The shape of the boundary you leave behind

So sing all your questions to sleep

The answers are out there in the drowning deep

You've got a journey to make

There's your horizon to chase

So go far beyond where we stand

No matter the distance

I'm holding your hand

LIVE Ft. SHELBY LYNNE: RUN AWAY.

Some dreams come true... A song with LIVE and SHELBY LYNNE, ¡together! They are my favourites band and she is one of the greatest singer-songwriters, and RUN AWAY is that song I cannot stop to sing. And I need it today. Hope you like.

LYRICS

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend" she said

And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love

I need your blissful touch to carry me away again

So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...

Run away, run away tonight

It aint no victory, but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

We can just run away, run away tonight

It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend" she said

I'm like a posse that's been ridin' for days

I've got the scars to prove that love has had its day and it's way with me

So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...

Run away, run away tonight

It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

We can just run away, run away tonight

It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

This ain't no night to be on your own

You've got to know where you're coming from

To know just where you're goin', lord

You've got to know where you're coming from

This ain't no night to be on your own

Run away, run away tonight

It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

We can just run away, run away tonight

It aint no victory but I don't care

I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care

Run away

Run away

Run away

GRETCHEN PETERS: HELLO CRUEL WORLD

Completely in love from GRETCHEN PETERS last Album "Hello Cruel World". I think it's the best album released so far this year. I'm completely hooked. This is HELLO CRUEL WORLD one of my favourites songs of the album. Hope you like.

LYRICS

haven’t done as well as I thought I would

I’m not dead but I’m damaged goods

And it’s gettin’ late

I’m a rusty hinge, a squeaky wheel

at the bad end of a shaky deal

cursed by the hand of fate

and ooooooh – I’m a very lucky girl

yeah ooooooh – hello cruel world

I’m a ticking clock, a losing bet

a girl without a safety net

I’m a cause for some concern

You don’t live this long without regrets

Telephone calls you don’t wanna get

Stones you’d rather leave unturned

but ooooooh – the grain of sand becomes the pearl

yeah ooooooh – hello cruel world

some folks go the easy route

numb the pain or put the lights out

either way they got to go

me I’m gonna stick around

in for a penny in for a pound

cause I hate to miss the show

and ooooooh – I’m a very stubborn girl

yeah ooooooh – hello cruel world

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT: OUT OF THE GAME

The new album of RUFUS WAINWRIGHT entitled OUT OF THE GAME is on sale first of May. This song with the same title is a preview of his album number ten. Hope You Like.

LYRICS

I'm outta the game
I've been out for a long time now
I'm lookin' for something
Can't be found on the main drain, no
I'm out of the game
I've been out for a long time now
I'm looking for something
Can't be found on the main drain no,

Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you Suckers!
Does your mama know what you're doin'?
Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you Suckers!
Does your mama know what you're doin'?
You're only a child
With the mind of a senile man
You're only a young thing,
'Bout to sleep with a sea of men
Just hangin' around,
Wearin' somethin' from God knows where.
Just havin' a ball
Makin' all of the thin cards fall. 


Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you Suckers!
Does your mama know what you're doin'?
Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you Suckers!
Does your mama know what you're doin'?

Say, come over here,
Let me smell you for one last time
Before you go out there
And ruin all of the world, once mine.

I'm outta the game
I've been out for a long time now
I'm lookin' for something
Can't be found on the main drain, no

Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you Suckers!
Does your mama know what you're doin'?
Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you Suckers!
Does your mama know what you're doin'?

THE SWELL SEASON: IF YOU WANT ME.

One of my favourite movies of all times is "Once". In that film, we discovered to THE SWELL SEASON, a magnificent duet formed by Glenn Hansard -An old friend from "The Frames"- and the incredible Marketa Irglova. I've just to see the movie again, and I want to remember one of the songs sung by Irglova. IF YOU WANT ME. Hope you like.

LYRICS

Are you really here or am I dreaming

I can’t tell dreams from truth

for it’s been so long since I have seen you

I can hardly remember your face anymore

When I get really lonely

and the distance causes only silence

I think of you smiling

with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure that you’d believe me

when others say I lie

I wonder if you could ever despise me

when you know I really try

to be a better one to satisfy you

For you’re everything to me

and I’ll do what you ask me

if you’ll let me be, free

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
