Song of the Day: Dragonette - Detonate

Not sure when this came out, but I think I missed it.  No matter, I found it now.  I love the vibe, just as I do with many Dragonette songs.    :)

"Detonate"

Another level into another obstacle course

We fall another ten feet through another trap door

And I don't wanna find a safe way home

I'm right where I want

And I believe we belong somewhere in between lost and found

And I, I don't think it can be wrong flying too close to the sun

I swear this love is so precarious

If you're a spark then I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

We'll light on, we'll light on in flames and detonate..

We detonate

We light up and detonate

Detonate

Living in our own natural disaster

Not really what we want, but kinda what we've asked for

We don't need to find a place to hide

'Cause we've come alive

And I believe we belong somewhere in between right and wrong

And I, I don't think that [?] flying too close to the sun

I swear this love is feeling dangerous

If you're a spark then I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

We'll light on, we'll light on in flames and detonate

We detonate

We light up and detonate

Detonate

If this is our, our time to go

Is there a better way to explore

Fill up the sky with ashes and dust

And when it settles down, we will never ask for more

I swear this love is so precarious

If you're a spark then I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

Oh, well this love is feeling dangerous

You are a spark and I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

We'll light on, we'll light on in flames and detonate

We detonate

We light up and detonate

Detonate

Song of the Day: Molly Tuttle - Sunflower, Vol. 6

Have I mentioned to you, my seven* readers, how much I love finding new music?  Well, it's true.  I do.  This is a perfect example.  So talented, such a delicate touch.  Perfect.

Sunflower, Vol. 6

Molly Tuttle

Produced by Tony Berg

Album ...but i’d rather be with you

  

[Verse]

Sunflower, my eyes want you more than a melody

Let me inside, wish I could get to know you

Sunflowers sometimes keep it sweet in your memory

I was just tongue-tied

[Bridge]

I don't wanna make you feel bad

But I've been trying hard not to talk to you

My sunflower

[Chorus]

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more

Tonight, tonight, tonight

[Verse]

Wondering headshake, tired eyes are the death of me

Mouthful of toothpaste before I got to know you

I've got your face hung up high in the gallery

Out of this shade, sunflowеr, sunflower

[Verse]

Your flowers just died

Plant nеw seeds in the melody

Let me inside

I wanna get to know you

[Bridge]

I don't wanna make you feel bad

But I've been trying hard not to act a fool

My sunflower

[Chorus]

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more

Tonight, tonight, tonight

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more

Tonight, tonight

[Verse]

Sunflower, my eyes want you more than a melody

Let me inside, wish I could get to know you

Sunflowers just died, keep it sweet in your memory

I'm still tongue-tied, sunflower, sunflower

Song of the Day: The Cranberries - Dreams

Classic song, from a great band.  Came up in my YouTube suggestions, after listening to some songs from Allie Sherlock busking on Grafton Street, Dublin.  If you don't know where that is or why it's cool, let me just say this: It's worth a trip, in my opinion.

I don't like seeing stars from my youth dying, by the way.  Makes me feel old.  And reflective.  Dolores O'Riordan was younger than me, something I didn't realize until just now.  Did her dreams come true??   :(

The Cranberries Lyrics

"Dreams"

Oh, my life

Is changing everyday

In every possible way

And oh, my dreams

It's never quite as it seems

Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before

But now I'm feeling it even more

Because it came from you

Then I open up and see

The person falling here is me

A different way to be

Aaah, la-a-la-aaah

La la laaaa

La-a-la-aah

La-ah ah aaah

I want more

Impossible to ignore

Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true

Impossible not to do

Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly

You have my heart so don't hurt me

You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind

So understanding and so kind

You're everything to me

Oh, my life

Is changing everyday

In every possible way

And oh, my dreams

It's never quite as it seems

'Cause you're a dream to me

Dream to me

Song of the Day: Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love

Another thing to talk about with my daughters.  Why is Eddie Van Halen, who died a few days ago on October 6th, significant?  Maybe this song, the opening guitar work, will help them understand.  This is what I think about when I hear "Eddie Van Halen."
