Song of the Day: ROSALÍA - F*cking Money Man (Milionària + Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero)

More Rosalia.  Yes, I'm cheating on Shakira with her, as one of my friends put it.  She's that hot!      :)

ROSALÍA - F*cking Money Man (Milionària + Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQCpjOBJ5UQ

Love these two songs put together, quite the contrast.  First song, she was born to be a millionaire.  Second song, God save us from money!

Milionària (English translation)

English translation
Millionaire

La Rosalía, uh

[Verse 1]
I already knew I was born to be a millionaire
As if it was raining, throwing bills in the air
One day in Mumbai and the next in Malta
Always well guarded and bulletproof

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And what I would like is to have a Bentley
One black and one green
But I know that all this I cannot do
Until the day that I have lots of money
And what I would like is to have..

[Chorus]
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind

[Verse 2]
I already knew I was born to be a millionaire
To close the Louvre as well as the MACBA (Fucking Money, La Mixtape)
Every day celebrating my birthday
And two leopards running in the house garden

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And what I would like is to have

[Chorus]
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind

[Bridge]
I hear two Audemars
Handmade, covered in diamonds
And a Hublot Black Caviar Bang bang
Which I could give to you
I have hired a man
Just to open my Christmas presents
I close the mall
And I eat an ice cream by myself
Cava or champagne
Poppin' bottles
I baptize the yacht
I buy a star
I have an island which has my name

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And what I would like is to have

[Chorus]
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind
Fucking money, man
I just want to see one hundred bills
Fucking money, man
Dollar signs on my mind


Catalan
Milionària
La Rosalía, uh

[Estrofa 1]
Que jo sé que he nascut per ser milionària
Com si plogués llençant els billets pels aires
Un dia per Mumbai i al següent a Malta
Sempre ben escoltada a prova de bala

[Pre-Tornada 1]
I el que voldria és tenir un Bentley
De color blanc i un de color verd
Però tot això sé que no ho puc fer
Fins el dia que tingui molts diners
I el que voldria és tenir...

[Tornada]
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment

[Estrofa 2]
Que jo sé que he nascut per ser milionària
Perquè em tanquin el Louvre així com al MACBA (Fucking Money, La Mixtape)
Cada dia celebrant el meu "cumpleanys"
I dos lleopards corrent pel jardí de casa

[Pre-Tornada 2]
I el que voldria és tenir

[Tornada]
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment

[Pont]
Porto dos Audemars
Fets a mà coberts de diamants
I un Hublot Black Caviar Bang bang
Que te'l puc regalar
Tinc un xaval contractat
Perquè m’obri els regals de nadal
Tanco el centre comercial
I em menjo jo sola un gelat
Cava o champagne
Poppin' botellas
Bautitzo el iot
Compro una estrella
Tinc una illa que té el meu nom

[Pre-Tornada]
Però el que vuldria és tenir

[Tornada]
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man!
Signe del dollar dintre la ment
Fucking money, man
Només vull veure bitllets de cent
Fucking money, man
Signe del dollar dintre la ment

God save us from money

Song of the Day: Asia - Church

I love the vibe of this song.  So sad.  We all feel that way sometimes.

"asia - church"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mjyq5tgSDM

i won't be sad
i knew it would happen
i'm sorry i'm such a disappointment
im so altered

Lyrics posted in the comments to the video.  A comment asked:

Lyrics, please?
This song is GORGEOUS!!!


And Asia Boselli answered:

Thank you so much! there you go:

i just wanna go to church
so god can tell me what to do
but if i'm being honest
i'm too skeptical to believe in anything
but it feels like
the shelter of a cathedral
can bring me peace
can bring me what i need

im so altered

so light a candle for me
i'll be playing in the graveyard
burying my dreams
deep down next to my dad's
i won't be sad
i knew it would happen
i'm sorry i'm such a disappointment

im so altered

lord tell me why
i can't believe in you
and mom tell me why
this house doesn't feel like home
i'm just so sad
there's too much light in this place
please don't be mad
i tried so hard

i'm so altered

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.

Caroline Spence "Who's Gonna Make My Mistakes" (Audio Only)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLf1eMd8mAQ

Take a listen to the lyrics as well, I think they're very well done.

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]

Song lyrics, from Genius.com:

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.

Marina Diamandis - Only Want You (Audio) (Live cover) (Dermot O’Leary BBC Radio 2 27-04-2019)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3kHwBSn3Fw

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)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_4coiRG_BI

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.

Song of the Day: Amanda Palmer - The Ride

Here's a song from one of my favorites, Amanda Palmer.  This song is so simple, and yet .... I can't stop listening.  So direct and profound.  I can't stop listening.  It's a long song.  But as the reviews say, grab a tissue and listen.

Amanda Palmer, The Ride, Live, Dublin 28/5/2018

Lyrics from Genius.com:
https://genius.com/Amanda-palmer-the-ride-lyrics

The Ride
Amanda Palmer
Album There Will Be No Intermission
 
Everyone’s too scared to open their eyes up
But everyone’s too scared to close them
Everyone’s frightened they don’t know what’s coming
But everyone’s frightened of knowing

Everyone’s reading the rules of engagement
And everyone’s starting to doubt them
Everyone’s reaching to put on a seatbelt
But this kind of ride comes without them
I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you
I wish we could meet all the people behind us in line
The climb to the crest is less frightening with someone to clutch you
But isn’t it nice when we’re all afraid at the same time

And it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
And you’ve got the choice to get off anytime that you like
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
The alternative is nothingness
We might as well give it a try

Everyone’s terrified that they’ll be justified by the collapse that will happen
Everyone’s placing their bets just in case
The whole thing’s a profound disappointment
Everyone’s trying to stay on the side where the water's just boiling more slowly
Frogs in a pot, well that’s one thing I’ve got
At least some of the frogs in here know me

I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you
The chain pulls us up and we know that we’re all gonna dive
The blur and the noise of the screaming can blind and distract you
But isn’t it nice when we all can scream at the same time

And it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
And you’ve got the choice to get off anytime that you like
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
The alternative's nothingness
Might as well give it a try

And as we all go down
And as we all go round
And as we pitch from side to side
Everything is gonna be alright

Everyone’s getting real scared to come out because coming out's going down badly
Feel the city breaking and everybody’s shaking
And I just want someone to hold me
Some are too scared to let go of their children
And some are too scared now to have them
Suicide, homicide, genocide, man, that’s a fuck-ton of sides you can choose from

I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you
I wish we could meet all the people who got left behind
The ride is so loud it can make you think nobody's listening
But isn’t it nice when we all can cry at the same time

And it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
And you’ve got the choice to get off anytime that you like
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
The alternative's nothingness
Might as well give it a try

And as we all go down
And as we all go round
And as we switch from side to side
Everything is gonna be just fine
Everyone you love is gonna die
Hopefully, this song will come remind you

That’s it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
From the sister you miss
To the father you don’t want to write
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
From the lover you loved to the one that you're frightened to find
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
From the baby you lost to the one that you’re growing inside
Come out darling
And don’t you cry

Song of the Day: Laura Stevenson - Living Room, NY

Have I mentioned that I love songs that capture a certain vibe?  Yes?  Fine, I guess I have.  Remember, it's my blog, and I'll type what I want!   :)

Laura Stevenson - Living Room, NY (Official Audio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0zcVEaAua0

So I’ll fold the world to be there tonight
Because I want to fall asleep on your time
I want to fall asleep where you lie
I want to fall asleep with you shifting by my side
I want to fall asleep where you lie
I want to fall asleep with you, I
With you, I
With you, I
I miss you, I

Living Room, NY

Laura Stevenson

Album The Big Freeze

  

I want to feel you restless

I want to wake up from it

I want to see you stare at ceilings until you fall back to sleep

I want to feel you restless

I want to wake up from it

I want to see you stare at ceilings until you fall back to sleep

In the waiting room

In the waiting room

In the waiting room

It's a little stuffy in here

I want to wring my hands in open elevators

A shaky finger I am pushing the door open button

I want to feel the urge to press against my neighbors while I keep you in my mind

I keep you in my mind all of the time here

In the waiting room

In the waiting room

In the waiting room

One is moving one is standing

In the waiting room

In the waiting room

In the waiting room

Wonder where we’ll land

Will we fall straight into routine

Or we'll be strangers for a week, stir-crazy, lazy until I leave again

Then I jump out of my skin until you tell me where I am

Living Room, NY

Living Room, NY

I'll give an arm just to hear you in the dark saying, “Living Room, NY”

So I’ll fold the world to be there tonight

Because I want to fall asleep on your time

I want to fall asleep where you lie

I want to fall asleep with you shifting by my side

I want to fall asleep where you lie

I want to fall asleep with you, I

With you, I

With you, I

I miss you, I

Song of the Day: Sasha Sloan - Older

I love this song.  As a father to two beautiful daughters, and as a son with some fucked up parents, this song really touches me.  Sad and true.  Maybe it hits too close to home.  Regardless, I like the message.  I haven't shared it with my daughters yet, as I type this, but I surely will.  I sincerely hope they love it as much as I do.  I hope you do, too.

Sasha Sloan - Older (Lyric Video)

Song lyrics from AZLyrics.com:

Sasha Sloan Lyrics

"Older"

I used to shut my door when my mother screamed in the kitchen

I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen to every little fight

'Cause neither one was right

I swore I'd never be like them

But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see

My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

Loving is hard, it don't always work

You just try your best not to get hurt

I used to be mad but now I know

Sometimes it's better to let someone go

It just hadn't hit me yet

The older I get

I used to wonder why, why they can never be happy

I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family

Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine

I swore I'd never be like them

But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see

My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

Loving is hard, it don't always work

You just try your best not to get hurt

I used to be mad but now I know

Sometimes it's better to let someone go

It just hadn't hit me yet

The older I get

The older I get the more that I see

My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

Loving is hard, it don't always work

You just try your best not to get hurt

I used to be mad but now I know

Sometimes it's better to let someone go

It just hadn't hit me yet

The older I get

Handmade Ego

Tender

Produced by Luca Buccellati

Album Fear of Falling Asleep

    

[Verse 1]

I’ll be looking for the scent when it goes cold

I’ve been trying to beat the maze with a blindfold on

I’ve been foraging through mud and sticks

Searching for that power that don’t exist

Gather my strength and I’ll pull my weight

Run so hard I can only taste blood in my mouth

And I’ll do my work and I’ll break a sweat

Feel your nails drag across my chest

It's all worth the pain

Your sex and savage ways

[Chorus]

So caught up, so caught up in my self-indulgence

I tell myself that I'm not hopeless

When I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

So wrapped up, so wrapped up in my handmade ego

Well knock me down a peg and watch me wallow

'Cause I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

[Verse 2]

I’ve been trying to find the path, keep me on track

Trying to solve the puzzle with my hands tied behind my back

I’ve been keeping my head in the sand

Won’t get involved in what I don’t understand

Sink my teeth into what is mine

I hunt and kill so you can wine and dine

It's all worth my time

Our bodies intertwine

[Chorus]

So caught up, so caught up in my self-indulgence

I tell myself that I'm not hopeless

When I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

So wrapped up, so wrapped up in my handmade ego

Well knock me down a peg and watch me wallow

'Cause I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

[Bridge]

So draw the line, it's there to cross

I think we’ll find a cause we lost

So draw the line, it's there to cross

I think we’ll find a cause we lost

A cause we lost

[Chorus]

So caught up, so caught up in my self-indulgence

I tell myself that I'm not hopeless

When I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

So wrapped up, so wrapped up in my handmade ego

Well knock me down a peg and watch me wallow

'Cause I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

Song of the Day: Death Cab for Cutie - Summer Years

You, my seven* readers, know by now how much I love moody, sad songs.  Well, here's another one, in the "you can't go back" category.  :(

Death Cab For Cutie Lyrics

"Summer Years"

Sometimes I wake at night

And watch the rain fall through the street lights

'Cause you're standing still in my mind

Fading out, waving goodbye

And I wonder where you are tonight

If the one you're with was a compromise

As we're walking lines in parallel

That will never meet and it's just as well

Sometimes I'm overcome

By every choice I couldn't outrun

The junctions all disappear

You can't double back to your summer years

And I wonder where you are tonight

If the one you're with was a compromise

As we're walking lines in parallel

That will never meet and it's just as well

And I wonder where you are tonight

If the one you're with was a compromise

As we're walking lines in parallel

That will never meet and it's just as well

It's just as well

And I wonder where you are tonight

If the one you're with was a compromise

As we're walking lines in parallel

That will never meet and it's just as well

And I wonder where you are tonight

If the one you're with was a compromise

As we're walking lines in parallel

That will never meet and it's just as well

It's just as well

Song of the Day: Better Oblivion Community Center - Dylan Thomas

Phoebe Bridgers has another band?  Well, I think I love everything she does.   :)

"Dylan Thomas" lyrics

Better Oblivion Community Center Lyrics

It was quite early one morning

Hit me without warning

I went to hear the general speak

I was standing for the anthem

Banners all around him

Confetti made it hard to see

Put my footsteps on the pavement

Starved for entertainment

Four seasons of revolving doors

So sick of being honest

I'll die like Dylan Thomas

A seizure on the barroom floor

I'm getting greedy with this private hell

I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

These cats are scared and feral

The flag pins on their lapels

As the truth is anybody's guess

These talking heads are saying

"The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"

There's flowers in the rubble

The weeds are gonna tumble

I'm lucid but I still can't think

I'm strapped into a corset

Climbed into your corvette

I'm thirsty for another drink

If it's advertised, we'll try it

And buy some peace and quiet

And shut up at the silent retreat

They say you've gotta fake it

At least until you make it

That ghost is just a kid in a sheet

I'm getting used to these dizzy spells

I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel

I'm getting greedy with this private hell

I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

Song of the Day: Virginia Wing - Be Released

You know what I'm going to say ..... I love the vibe of this song.   :)

Be Released
Virginia Wing
Album Ecstatic Arrow
 
Tell me: where do you go from here?

I saw a photograph from the past
It showed your family tree all red and gold
It showed your place of birth
And all the colours blurred
Like chalk on a blackboard

And now that you look
It all seems so far away
It's further than it seems

Progress is slow
But it will be easier, it's easier now to say
"I'm home, four doors and all the furniture I own-
Dissolved, I chose to be released from all of this"

It's funny how quickly you forget
And how the smallest of details remain
Flawless and bright
Like the curtains hanging loose
And open in the room
Or your first class when you went to school

And you were last to arrive
You asked your friends for advice
But nothing they said could reach so deep
Or even describe the moment you felt
All alone in your mind
It was the first of five years now -

You're free of all those places
Tell me: where do you go from here?

And now that you look
It all seems so far away
It's further than it seems

Progress is slow
It will be easier, it's easier now to say
"I'm home, four doors and all the furniture I own -
Dissolved, I chose to be released from all of this"

You found a story for yourself
Built from a dream
Removed all inheritance and debt
From here there's nowhere else

And now that you look
It all seems so far away
It's further than it seems

Progress is slow
It will be easier, it's easier now to say
"I'm home, four doors and all the furniture I own -
Dissolved, I chose to be released from all of this"

Four doors
A shelf
A wall
Windows
Chairs
Carpets
And stairs

Song of the Day: Wet - Love is Not Enough

Yet another new band whose vibe I love.

Wet Lyrics
"Love Is Not Enough"

Roll her over in the knee high water
And they [?] a part of her that's never been seen before
And mine is flowing like a scene from the autumn
People showing just to look and laugh

Because love is not enough
No, love is not

Call your sisters and your little cousins
And hide the kids they're laying out on the corner
And they come runnin' when it's all [?]
All their wounds are gone, and you're left with memories

Love is not enough
Don't let them tell you
Love is not enough

And I told you once, but I will say it louder
The love we had — it grew tall like a flower
Then all at once it will [?] over
And it left with yourself and the ghost of another

Love is not enough

Oh, I dreamed you last night
You, you whispered to me
The water is fine, but now the
The wine is flowing
And I wish that we could stay there
Right there forever, but I promise you that I will always remember

Love is not enough
Don't let them tell you
Love is not enough
Don't listen to them
Love is not enough

Mirah Lyrics
"Hot Hot"

If anything tries to hold you back we won't let it
We'll make it stop stop
We'll make it stop stop
Try to keep your tires on the road even when the wind picks up
You can keep it calm calm
Even if you roll on
You've got a good thing baby don't waste it, don't waste it no
Keep keepin' it hot hot
Keep keepin' it hot hot

If we were clouds we'd be makin' prisms of light
Holding up the rain all cool and bright
Wouldn't that feel good, wouldn't that feel so right?
Keep movin' along long
Keep keepin' up what you want

So when I heard that I heard that I could stay
And hold me and hold me so I'm safe
I like when I know me I'm okay
I'll get back to myself one of these days

You got the whole team on your side
We've got this one we do
We've got the life life
We keep the power on for you
If the clouds stay low
Oh sometimes they do
You just might get a little wet
Before they burn through

You know beauty comes with age
You can't help, but keep on
Getting more hot hot
With every brave thought
Hot hot
With every brave thought

So when I heard that I heard that I could stay
And hold me and hold me so I'm safe
I like when I know me I'm okay
I'll get back to myself one of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days

Don't listen don't listen when they say goodbye
Gather up get on the porch take it on back girl take it on back
Keep your heart together
Get your mind relaxed
Step in time together
Let's feel the power coming back

Hot hot
Hot hot
Hot hot

Song of the Day: Squirrel Flower - Conditions

No idea who this artist is yet, just heard this song recently, but I LOVE the song.  It just captures a vibe that makes me want to listen all day.

Squirrel Flower - "CONDITIONS" (Official music video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg7UPNf6MTU

Lyrics:

I'll be gentle and I'll take it slowly,
Just as long as you say you don't need me.
I'll do you right and I'll take it steady,
But when I say go you better be ready.

Keep you guessing, I swear I won't tell you.
Make you want me and then I'll desert you.
But it's alright 'cause you said you don't need me.
It's alright cuz I kept it steady.

Don't look at me like that, like you'll kill me.
I can outrun you and I'll do it gracefully,
Cause I'm gentle but I can't move slowly.
Don't you dare say you do not know me.

Song of the Day: Broods - Sucker

Looks like Broods have some new music out.  As with a lot of their songs, I just love the vibe.

Speaking of which, I have a bunch of new (to me) music that I need to post, all of which has a great vibe.  More to come in subsequent days...
