Song of the Day: Camilla Cabello - everyone at this party

Final song in my quick look at Camila Cabello's new album, Familia.

This last song I'll post is also very personal, just as intense but more wistful and sad.  The relationship is in the past tense, but it's still there in your mind.  You know the person is still out there.  You may even run into him or her.  You wonder if he or she is wrestling with the same questions.  Does he or she miss you?  Did you fuck it all up??  And you wonder if you'll see him or her again, and what you'd do if you did.

Camila Cabello - everyone at this party (Official Lyric Video)

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

A few lyrics:

Everyone at this party isn't you

Everyone at this party isn't you

You're the only one I wanna run into

But I never do

And the direct questions:

And I keep having these thoughts

Did we fuck it up or not?

Did we waste two years?

And did you get the space you needed?

Did you realize you don't need me?

Hey, did you realize you don't need me?

Camila Cabello

"everyone at this party"

Didn't wanna ask our friend if you were gonna be here and make the whole thing weird

But I was nervous in the car just in case you are, just in case the coast ain't clear

And I'm looking over people's shoulders

And that's fucked up, I know that

And I just had this vision of you looking at me different when you saw this dress

But I'd have one drink and I'd say the wrong thing, so it's probably for the best

And I'm looking over peoples shoulders

And I'm hoping that you're somewhere close

Everyone at this party isn't you

Everyone at this party isn't you

You're the only one I wanna run into

But I never do

Everyone at this party isn't you

Everyone at this party isn't you

I don't wanna search for you in every room

But I always do

I got in last night, staying on the west side

Scotty told me you're here

And I keep having these thoughts

Did we fuck it up or not?

Did we waste two years?

And did you get the space you needed?

Did you realize you don't need me?

Hey, did you realize you don't need me?

Everyone at this party isn't you

Everyone at this party isn't you

You're the only one I wanna run into

But I never do

Everyone at this party isn't you

Everyone at this party isn't you

Don't wanna search for you in every room

But I always do

Everyone at this party isn't you

Everyone at this party isn't you

Hey, did you realize you don't need me?

Song of the Day: Camilla Cabello - No Doubt

Continuing my survey of Camila Cabello's fabulous new album, Familia.  Available here:

https://CamilaCabello.lnk.to/Familia

This song is a little more personal, about a bit of an obsession.  You feel nervous, you have doubts ... until you really make that connection!  But then you can't help yourself and you get paranoid again!  Overthinkers, I feel your pain (truly I do).

Camila Cabello - No Doubt (Official Lyric Video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGYc45w5HBI

A few lyrics:

Imagination has gone belligerent

Seeing red flags that don't even exist

And that's the head I'm in

'Cause when shit is getting good, I just worry 'bout the bad again

I'm paranoid there's something I don't know

Got my demons creepin' on the low

But I don't even hear them anymore

Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/camilacabello/nodoubt.html

Camila Cabello

"No Doubt"

Buta-yuh-yuh

Buta-yuh-yuh

Buta-yuh-yuh

Seeing visions on the ceiling

Drunken kisses, heavy breathing

You're up against the wall

She's unbuttoning your jeans and you tell her that you want it all

She loves you all night, makes you breakfast

Not just sex, it's a real connection

And out of love, we'd fall

And it makes me wanna scream why I'm making up this shit at all

I'm paranoid there's something I don't know

Got my demons creepin' on the low

But I don't even hear them anymore

The way we're making love, you leave with me no doubt

The way you're biting on the corner of my mouth

You take the psycho out of my brain

Yeah

And leave me with no doubt

And I can see it in your eyes when you slow down

You take the psycho out of my brain

Yeah

And leave me with no doubt

Buta-yuh-yuh

Buta-yuh-yuh

Buta-yuh-yuh

My head is racin'

Plead your innocence

You're not guilty, I'm hyper vigilant

I'm getting bad again (I'm getting bad again)

'Cause when shit is gettin' good, I just spiral into bad again

Imagination has gone belligerent

Seeing red flags that don't even exist

And that's the head I'm in

'Cause when shit is getting good, I just worry 'bout the bad again

I'm paranoid there's something I don't know

Got my demons creepin' on the low

But I don't even hear them anymore

The way we're making love you leave with me no doubt

The way you're biting on the corner of my mouth

You take the psycho out of my brain

Yeah

And leave me with no doubt

And I can see it in your eyes when you slow down

You take the psycho out of my brain

Yeah

And leave me with no doubt

(Bésame, besa-bésame) Buta-yuh-yuh

(Bésame, besa-bésame) Buta-yuh-yuh

(La cintura, tócame pa' que no sienta los celos que estoy sintiendo)

Oh, I'm going outta my mind, I (Bésame, besa-bésame)

Outta my mind, I (Bésame, besa-bésame)

I'm going outta my mind

(La cintura, tócame pa' que no sienta los celos)

Ooh, the way we're making love you leave with me no doubt

The way you're biting on the corner of my mouth

You take the psycho out of my brain

Yeah

And leave me with no doubt

And I can see it in your eyes when you slow down

You take the psycho out of my brain

Yeah

And leave me with no doubt

Song of the Day: Camila Cabello - psychofreak ft. Willow

Did you know Camila Cabello has a new album out?  I just found out myself.  Well, after listening to one song then I listened to another, and then another, and so on.  And then I listened to them again.  It's a fantastic album.

Here is just one of many stories about it:

Camila Cabello gets 'true to herself' with new album

https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/camila-cabello-gets-true-herself-with-new-album-2022-04-06/

I have decided to share (at least) three songs from the new album.

Let's start with my favorite.  The lyrics are fantastic.  Do you ever feel like you just don't fit in?  I sure do.

Camila Cabello - psychofreak (Official Lyric Video) ft. WILLOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcr-BYQBqXw

Couple lines resonated:

I want to, want to, want to feel like I can chill

Not have to leave this restaurant

Wish I could be like everyone

But I'm not like anyone

And these:

House in the hills is a house of cards

Blink and the fairytale falls apart

Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark

Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/camilacabello/psychofreak.html

Camila Cabello

"psychofreak"

(feat. WILLOW)

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Feelin' like a psycho-freak sometimes

Tryin' to get connected, no WiFi

Tell me that you love me, are you lying?

Gimme lemonade, I give you limes

House in the hills is a house of cards

Blink and the fairytale falls apart

Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark

Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Sometimes I don't trust the way I feel

On my Instagram talkin' 'bout, "I'm healed"

Worryin' if I still got sex appeal

Hopin' that I don't drive off this hill

When we're making love, I wanna be there

And I wanna feel you pullin' my hair

And believe the words you say in my ear

Gotta go outside, I need some air

I want to, want to, want to touch you

Want to touch you, but my fingertips are numb

I want to, want to, want to love you

Want to love you, but my chest is tightenin' up

I want to, want to, want to feel like I can chill

Not have to leave this restaurant

Wish I could be like everyone

But I'm not like anyone

Feelin' like a psycho-freak sometimes

Tryin' to get connected, no WiFi

Tell me that you love me, are you lying?

Gimme lemonade, I give you limes

House in the hills is a house of cards

Blink and the fairytale falls apart

Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark

Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Sorry, couldn't focus on the movie

Everybody says they miss the old me

I been on this ride since I was fifteen

I don't blame the girls for how it went down, down

Thinkin' out loud

In the bathroom while my friends laugh on the couch

Wow, moment's gone now

Know you wanna stay, but I think I gotta leave right now

I want to, want to, want to touch you

Want to touch you, but my fingertips are numb

I want to, want to, want to love you

Want to love you, but my chest is tightenin' up

I want to, want to, want to feel like I can chill

Not have to leave this restaurant

Wish I could be like everyone

But I'm not like anyone

Feelin' like a psycho-freak sometimes

Tryin' to get connected, no WiFi

Tell me that you love me, are you lying?

Gimme lemonade, I give you limes

House in the hills is a house of cards

Blink and the fairytale falls apart

Sorry, didn't mean to get so dark

Maybe I'm an alien, Earth is hard

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Feelin' like a psycho-freak-freak-freak

Following up on yesterday, here is another song by new new favorite duo.  I bought Rosalia's new album, listened to the whole thing, and this song jumped out at me as my favorite immediately.  I didn't even know Tokischa was on it when I first listened.  What can I say, I like what I like?!

Desfilamos Dior custom en el colmadón

Con la tanga Gucci en una cola de motor

Me llevo to' el mall monta'o en un camión

Combino el rojo con el rosa, vestidas de blanco

Me visto de novia pero no soy tu esposa

Las tennis Valentino, bizcocho de Moschino

Gargantilla de zafiro con diamante azul marino

Y si hoy llevo la ropa fake, es porque soy la más real

Bitch, me creo Dapper Dan

Me doy un flow de paca, me veo original

Soy la marca más cara que tú no vas a poder capear

Valentino tennis shoes, Moschino biscuit

Sapphire choker with navy blue diamonds

And if I'm wearing the fake clothes today, it's because I'm the most real one

Bitch, I think I'm Dapper Dan

I give myself a flow of bale, I look original

I'm the most expensive brand you won't be able to afford

Song of the Day: Tokischa x ROSALÍA - Linda

I love the energy in this song, and in the next one I'm going to post tomorrow.  You remember how much I loved (and still love) Shakira?  Well, Rosalia is the new Shakira.  Wait, maybe Tokischa is the new Shakira.  I can't tell, and it doesn't matter.  I like them both.  :)

Artist: Tokischa •Featuring artist: Rosalía

Song: Linda

English translation

Pretty

What are you doing, auntie?

There is a party right now in an alley with Kitipó

Really? Do you want to go?

 

Let's dress up over there (Hahahaha, hahahaha)

I was late for the appointment, I was with La Rosalía

Friends1 who kiss are the best company

 

(Today I'm a—) Today I'm on fire, I'm Chucky

Sweet, delicious like a cookie

Today I'm on fire, I'm Chucky

Sweet, delicious like a cookie

 

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

 

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

 

I was late, I went out to where you were, but I ended up in a pary

Of how I went to a point to struggle with a capeo2

I'm always late, I spend too much time fucking

I have a black woman at home who's always horny

 

I was late for the appointment, I was with La Rosalía

Friends who kiss are the best company

I was late for the appointment, I was with La Rosalía

Friends who kiss are the best company

 

Move it like it's meant to, Tokischa, Rosalía

She makes rice with beans and I roll up her Maria3

She looks better than the three blows4, I eat5 her every day

I sing to her with bachata6 and she sings to me with flamenco songs

 

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

 

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

 

I blow a kiss to the babe who enjoys me

I bite her cheek as if it were a fruit

I'm always late because the route entered me

I spit on the guy's face like he's my bitch

To satisfy my hornyness and naughtiness I have time

 

Putting on my clothes to go around the block

Vaginal fever from D.R.7 to Barcelona

The queen of this people8, we have the crown

The sexy of the sexy's, that is no longer a secret

Nails are pointy, we wear them stiletto

Uh, Toki, I'm in love, uh, Toki, you inspire respect

 

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

 

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

You're pretty and I'm ruling

We kiss, but we are homies

 

Uh, Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki

Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki

Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki-Toki

Le escupo la cara al tipo como si fuera mi p*ta

Pa' quita'me la rechura y desacato tengo tiempo

 

Poniéndome la prenda pa' tirarme por el bloque

Calentura vaginal de RD pa' Barcelona

La reina de esta popola, tenemo' la corona

Las dura' de las dura' de eso ya no e' un secreto

Las uñas en punta, las llevamos stiletto

Song of the Day: Barrie - Jersey

Another song that immediately caught me with its vibe.

Jersey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcornC-UTg4

Lyrics, from LyricFind (according to Google):

Jersey

Barrie

I’m doing sprints on the lawn outside your place

Spitting out words like some slow paste

Running back, running up to flip a tire

Shouting, All magicians are liars

Don’t wanna give it up yet

I’m crying outside

I’m gonna crack the back step

Got some things on my mind

You didn’t dream so long

I’m just the girl that you got

I’m gonna shout from the stands, I know what’s up

Tucked your jersey, no you’re not turning

Holding a sign that says your name in hearts

I cut my hand and started running

Don’t wanna give it up yet

I’m crying outside

I’m gonna crack the back step

Got some things on my mind

Don’t wanna give it up yet

I’m crying outside

I’m gonna crack the back step

Got some things on my mind

Song of the Day: Stevie Nicks - Gypsy

This a very personal performance of a song that I already loved, so naturally I love this version more.

Stevie Nicks Gypsy (Acoustic)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msj_A9py0Xk 

I found this song from this article, which also gave a glimpse into Nicks' life.  Very sad, which informs how she sings the song, I think.

"Watch Stevie Nicks perform a stunning acoustic version of 'Gypsy':
