Song of the Day: Charli XCX - Speed Drive (From Barbie The Album) [Official Music Video]

I love this song for a few reasons.  First of all, I like it as a catchy pop song.  But the main reason I like it is because one of my daughters particularly likes it.  This is my daughter who loves driving, so this song spoke to her.  She also had the pleasure of seeing Charlie XCX in concert in Detroit.  She thought hearing Speed Drive in the Motor City was pretty cool, and I agree with her!  Lots of Toni Basil in this song, creative copying I guess.  But only old people would realize that.  :(

Song of the Day: Morgan Wade - Time to Love, Time to Kill

And another one from Morgan Wade.  I love the vibe of this one.
Time waits for no man, baby
Time can go to hell

Morgan Wade - Time to Love, Time to Kill (Official Audio)



Lyrics from AZLyrics.com:

Morgan Wade Lyrics
"Time To Love, Time To Kill"

You said you moved on
I said I did, too
The truth is I'm at the starting line
Just waiting on you
The days are getting shorter
There's cold in the air
Reminding me of the nights with you
And the smoke all in my hair

I know I've made my bed and I'm lying in it
I was hoping you'd come here and lie with me for a minute
I know it's asking for death
It won't help me heal
There's a time to love
And a time to heal
A time to love and a time to kill

That restaurant we were gonna visit, it's for sale
Time waits for no man, baby
Time can go to hell
I miss you on Tuesdays
Our evening drives
I'm on the highway alone and I just close my eyes

I know I've made my bed and I'm lying in it
I was hoping you'd come here and lie with me for a minute
I know it's asking for death
It won't help me heal
There's a time to love
And a time to heal
A time to love and a time to kill

That restaurant we were gonna visit, it's for sale
Time waits for no man, baby
Time can go to hell

I know I've made my bed and I'm lying in it
I was hoping you'd come here and lie with me for a minute
I know it's asking for death
It won't help me heal
There's a time to love
And a time to heal
A time to love and a time to kill

Song of the Day: Morgan Wade - 2AM in London

I can't believe I haven't posted this song, or any other song by this artist.

I'm not even sure how I heard of her.  I think I saw another artist, looked at that artist's tour dates, and saw Morgan Wade's name on some of those dates.  So I gave her a listen, and I loved what I heard.  Amazing to think I might not have heard of her if not for that.  What other artists am I missing??

Anyway, here's the song.  The lyrics are exquisite.
I just need you to be here
I want two shadows on my wall
It's 2AM in London, baby
And I just want to come home

Morgan Wade - 2AM in London (Official Audio)


Song lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

Morgan Wade Lyrics
"2AM In London"

There's a mini bar in my room
I asked the hotel to take it out
I know what it's like when it's late at night
And my mind talks good and loud

I slept all day with the jet lag
Tonight I won't be sleeping at all
You're in the States
Hey what would you say
It's 6 can I give you a call?

It's 2AM in London
And I hate sleeping alone
Between the neighbors that scream
And this TV screen
I wish someone would throw me a bone
I just need you to be here
I want two shadows on my wall
It's 2AM in London, baby
And I just want to come home

It's a good time to get into trouble
But I don't do that stuff anymore
My angry heart took a shot in the dark
And I found what I was looking for

I guess that's why I'm so anxious
I feel like we're a world apart
When I come back around
Hey, let's lock this thing down
Baby, I gotta give you my heart

'Cause it's 2AM in London
And I hate sleeping alone
Between the neighbors that scream
And this TV screen
I wish someone would throw me a bone
I just need you to be here
I want two shadows on my wall
It's 2AM in London, baby
And I just want to come home

It's 2AM in London
And I hate sleeping alone
Between the neighbors that scream
And this TV screen
I wish someone would throw me a bone
I just need you to be here
I want two shadows on my wall
It's 2AM in London, baby
And I just want to come home

It's 2AM in London, baby
And I just want to come home
