Song of the Day: Caroline Spence - Who's Gonna Make My Mistakes

Don't you love finding out about a new artist before they're widely known?  I sure do.  One of my podcasts picked up this song, and I love it.

Who's Gonna Make My Mistakes

Caroline Spence

Produced by Dan Knobler

Album Mint Condition

  

[Verse 1]

Walking through the bar with a glass half-empty

Wonderin' what I'm gonna do to fill it up

Shouldn't have bought the one that I'm drinkin'

Nothing to my name but a couple hundred bucks

[Chorus]

But who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

Who's gonna take me, take me back home?

Who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

[Verse 2]

Talking to this man's like looking at an ashtray

Something was there but there ain't much left

Maybe in a minute he'll ask me a question

Stop sitting there talking about himself

[Chorus]

But who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

Who's gonna take me, take me back home?

Who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

[Bridge]

Yeah I tell my myself I know what I'm doing

Even if I'm doing it wrong

Yeah, I tell myself I'm not looking for answers

Just something to put in a song, oh

[Chorus]

But who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

Who's gonna take me, take me back home?

Who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

Who's gonna take me, take me back home?

[Outro]

Who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

Who's gonna take me, take me back home?

Who's gonna make my mistakes if I don't?

If I don't?

Song of the Day: Quivers - You're Not Always On My Mind

Ever had a song catch you completely unexpectedly, forcing you to listen over and over?  Well, that happened the other day.  This is the song.

Song of the Day: Marina Diamandis - Too Afraid

And here's the second Marina song that YouTube played for me, part of Marina's new album.  I haven't listened to the new album much, but this song was one that initially jumped out at me.  I think it's because I, like Marina, seem to be more attracted to sad songs sometimes.   :(

"Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid"


MARINA - Too Afraid [Official Audio]

Too Afraid
MARINA
Produced by Sam de Jong
Album LOVE + FEAR
   
[Verse 1]
I wanna change, but I don't know how
I've been trying to turn my life around
I've been to every party, every bar
Nothing thrills me in this city anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I didn't know if I was happy (Ah)
I can't pretend, I can't pretend
Been feeling like I don't belong, and I see (Ah)
I've reached an end, I've reached an end

[Chorus]
What, well, what can I do?
I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

[Post-Chorus]
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay

[Verse 2]
Get on the train, I go underground
People look so lonely with eyes turned down
This isn't living, this isn't how I thought my life would be
God, I need to get out

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel (Ah)
I can't pretend, I've reached an end

[Chorus]
What, well, what can I do?
I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

[Post-Chorus]
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay

[Bridge]
Ah, it could all be different
Ah, in this life
Change your future in an instant
Ah, just to feel alive

[Chorus]
What, well, what can I do?
I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you
Why, well, why can't I change?
I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid

[Post-Chorus]
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay
Just too afraid, just too afraid
Just too afraid, that's why I stay

[Outro]
That's why I stay
That's why I stay

Song of the Day: Marina Diamandis - Only Want You (Rita Ora cover)

Two more songs from that YouTube list that I mentioned a couple days ago, and introducing a new trend...

Did you know Marina just released a new album?  YES, SHE DID!  You, my seven readers* know how much I love her.


First, here's a live cover of a Rita Ora song.

Have I mentioned how much I love her?   :)

Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ritaora/onlywantyou.html

"Only Want You"

I don't want another night of tryna

Find another you, another rock bottom

I don't wanna wear another mini dress

To impress a potential problem

I don't wanna spend the night at someone's place

To fill the space that you used to walk in

I don't want another number in my phone

Someone to hold at three in the mornin'

I don't want somebody like you

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Don't want somebody brand new

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya

Just to need, just to need ya, oh

I don't want somebody like you

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

I'm the one that went and ruined everything

And made you think that it was all your fault

And I know that sorry's only just a word

And when it hurts, it isn't that simple

But I know that if you look me in the eyes

I can't deny that we're somethin' different

And I know I'm probably lookin' for your kiss

On someone's lips to know that I miss ya

I don't want somebody like you

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Don't want somebody brand new

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya

Just to need, just to need ya, oh

I don't want somebody like you

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

I don't want another night of tryna

Find another you, another rock bottom

I don't wanna wear another mini dress

To impress a potential problem

I don't want somebody like you

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Don't want somebody brand new

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Guess I had to leave, had to leave, had to leave ya

Just to need, just to need ya, oh

I don't want somebody like you

I only want you, I only want you, yeah

Song of the Day: Rosalia - Pienso En Tu Mira (And YouTube, you know me so well!)

So I was looking at YouTube on my TV the other day, and it had a list of songs recommended for me.  I hit "play" on the pre-made mix it had for me and you know what?  It was really good.  Scary to say, but YouTube seems to know me really well.

Anyway, some of the songs I've already posted on this blog.  Those posts are:

• Song of the Day: Rosalia - Malamente (December 4, 2018)
• Song of the Day: The Weepies - Jolene (December 31, 2018)
• Song of the Day: Broods - Sucker (February 4, 2019)

Back to the matter at hand, some of the additional songs YouTube suggested.  Let's start with Rosalia.  Wow, I love the vibe of her music.

ROSALÍA - PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ (Cap.3: Celos)

Song of the Day: Greg Holden - Nothing Changes

Not sure if I've posted a song by Greg Holden before.  I'd never have known about him, except he opened for Ingrid Michaelson at a concert I saw years ago.

Greg Holden - Nothing Changes (Audio)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlicFnUR_2s

Lots of his songs have upbeat messages, and this one is no different.  Sounds a little depressing: "...keep doing the work and nothing changes."  But if you listen a bit longer you'll hear: "...keep doing the work and nothing changes easy."  That one word changes everything, I think.  Just my opinion.
