Song of the Day: Soccer Mommy - circle the drain

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here.  Hey, life gets in the way.

Like many of the songs I love, this song captures a vibe.  Positive, negative, does it matter?   :)

Soccer Mommy Lyrics

"Circle The Drain"

I wanna be calm like the soft

Summer rain on your back

Like the fall of your shoulders

But everything just brings me back down

To the cold hard ground

And it keeps getting colder

It's a feeling that boils in my brain

I would dial back the flame

But I'm not sure I'm able

I'm wobbling out on the wire

And the lights could go out

With the break of a cable

Things feel that low sometimes

Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days

Split open watching my heart go round and around

Round and around

Circle the drain

I'm going down

(Round and around and around and around)

(Round and around and around and around)

I'm trying to seem strong for my love

For my family and friends

But I'm so tired of faking

'Cause I'm chained to my bed when they're gone

Watching TV alone

Until my body starts aching

And I think there's a mold in my brain

Spreading down all the way

Through my heart and my body

'Cause I cling to the dark of my room

And the days thin me out

Or just burn me straight through

Things feel that low sometimes

Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days

Split open watching my heart go round and around

Round and around

Circle the drain

I'm going down

(Round and around and around and around)

(Round and around and around and around)

Things feel that low sometimes

Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days

Split open watching my heart go round and around

Round and around

Circle the drain

I'm going down

(Round and around and around and around)

(Round and around and around and around)

Round and around

Round and around

Circle the drain

I'm going down

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

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

By kings and presidents with slashed little faces.

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

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?

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.

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
