Kerli

I discovered this new artist who just came out with her debut album this July. Her name is Kerli Koiv and she's a singer from Estonia (is it just me or are all Estonian females blond? At Kathaumixw this past summer they were all blond!). She has a great voice. These two songs are my favorite, but I love most of her songs on her album Love Is Dead. I like how they're pop songs that have generally happy meanings, but they have that dark side to them. I like the video Love Is Dead better than Walking On Air but they're both a little amateur-ish. They're still great songs, though! All the embedding is disabled for her videos so here are the links to youtube. I hope you like it!

Walking On Air video

Walking On Air- Kerli

There's a little creepy house
In a little creepy place
Little creepy town
In a little creepy world
Little creepy girl
With her little creepy face
Saying funny things that you have never heard

Do you know what it's all about
Are you brave enough to figure out
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill me
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

She has a little creepy cat
And a little creepy bat
Little rocking chair and an old blue hat
That little creepy girl
Oh she loves to sing
She has a little gift
An amazing thing
With her little funny eyes of hazel
With her little funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire
No one ever thought she could do that

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill me
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

Flitter up
and Hover down
Be all around
Be all around

You know that I love you, go on

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill this
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

I am walking on air x3

Love Is Dead- Kerli

This is the hardest part
when you feel like you're fading
All that you have has become unreal
collapsing, and aching

All I want, All I want is right here
but love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)

I know that you think of me when you're
beside her, inside her
it must be so hard for you to
deny it and hide it


Oh, all I want
All I want is right here,
but love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
and love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)x2

love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)
love don't live here anymore
(love is dead, love is gone, love don't live here anymore)x4

Oooh, love don't live here anymore

Tonight, Tonight

When I first heard this song I completely fell in love. It was the first song I heard by the Smashing Pumpkins and the lyrics just really get to me. It's about hope and confidence and change and, well, believing. The message is so simple and the words so beautiful. Below is the music video and lyrics. Below that is Brendon Urie performing Tonight, Tonight in concert. I think he does it wonderfully. Enjoy!


Tonight, Tonight


Tonight, Tonight- Smashing Pumpkins

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That youre not stuck in vain
Were not the same, were different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know youre never sure
But youre sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe theres not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

Well crucify the insincere tonight
Well make things right, well feel it all tonight
Well find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

I Don't Care

I just got this song on my iPod yesterday and I am completely in love with it. It's got a great dancing-type beat and the chorus is kind of a dark/mysterious feel. I love the change in the beat in the fourth chorus (it's starred). I can definitely see it as a song that would connect with a live audience well and would be great to see in concert. Patrick's voice has really grown and it was just great to get some fresh, new material from Fall Out Boy. Yes, here is FOB's single from their upcoming album Folie A Duex called I Don't Care.

I Don't Care (not official video)- *****

I Don't Care- Fall Out Boy

Say my name, and his in the same breath, I
Dare you to say they taste the same,
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow feel flames

Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don’t love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I’m not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Palms up, I’m trading ‘em (trading ‘em)

I’m the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain’t that cheap, now

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don’t care just a-what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care just what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care (I don’t care)
You said I don’t care (I don’t care)
Said I don’t care,
I don’t care
I don’t care (I don’t care), I said-a
I don’t care

*I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery*

I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Hey There Delilah

Hi! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in over week. But I was just listening to my iPod while I was writing the other day and I listened to this song that I haven't heard in months. As I was listening to it I realized how beautiful and simple it was. Just a guitar and vocals with some cello/violin at the end. Simple, but gorgeous. The yrics are wonderful and the whole song is so pure, so sincere. I really love it. Of course I can especially relate to NYC, so it makes it that much more special. Three cheers for Plain White T's! P.S. I rate this song five stars.

Hey There Delilah- *****



Hey There Delilah- Plain White T's

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

(oh)
