This song is a gorgeous guitar/vocal piece sung by Robert Pattinson. My interpretation of this song is how much he loves a girl, but he can't be with her. He wants her, but he knows he'll hurt her. He wants her to run, to stay away from him because he's no good for her, but he's admitting that he's not strong enough to stay away from her. He shouldn't even think about being with her because they can't be together, but she loves him, too. He doesn't want her to love him, but at the same time, he does. And she'll loose everything for him, but it's her choice because he's too selfish and weak (in a good way) to stay away even though he knows he should.
This song is so emotional, at least for me. It's about hurting and anger and selfishness and weakness and giving up and holding on and dreaming and loving. It's about love, but the real kind. Pain and hurt and sacrifice and weakness. But there's a sort of peace and happiness to the song. Like he wants to be mad at her for loving him, he wants to hate her, he wants to make her understand how they can't be together, he wants to be strong, but he's relieved and happy that neither of them have the strength.
The music and lyrics just paint a beautiful picture and in that whole description I don't think I was even close to capturing the full essence and full meaning of this beautifully sung piece: Never Think.

Another Way To Die
This is a duet by Jack White (from The White Stripes) and Alicia Keys made for the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. It's a beautiful combination of alternative and pop. I think their voices really compliment each other. Her smooth and powerful voice matches beautifully with his rough and mysterious voice.
Enjoy!
Another Way To Die
Another Way To Die- Jack White and Alicia Keys
Another player with the slick trigger finger
For Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tone voice
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer
Turned a thriller into a tragedy
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Oh, someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
Another tricky little gun
Giving solace to the one
That will never see the sunshine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother,
In the nick of time
Another dirty money “heaven sent honey”,
Turning on a dime
Well, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
Hey! Another way to die!
(Another way to die…)
Shoot ‘em, bang bang!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Yeah
Hey hey hey!
Another girl with her finger
On the world singing too
Don’t you wanna hear?
Another gun thrown down and surrendered
Took away your fear
Hey!
Another man that stands right behind you
Looking in the mirror
Oh, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die
It’s another way!
Shoot ’em up, bang bang!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Another way, another way…)
Yeah!
(Another way, another way…

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid
I discovered this band and song on Fuse while I was watching the #1 Countdown: Alternative. Their video came in number 1 and I can see why. It fails to bore anyone and it's incredibly fun to dance to; it definitely gets your adrenaline rushing! I actually like this guy's voice, too. I don't know why, it's not really special or anything, but then again there could be a perfectly good reason but I just wrote my Rock Band Live review and my brain is fried lol.
So enjoy, enjoy!
You're Gonna Go Far, Kid-****
Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against one
is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
a mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance
man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit em' right between the eyes
Hit em' right between the eyes
when you walk away,
nothing more to say.
see the lightning in your eyes
see em' running for their lives
slowly out of line
and drifting closer in your sights
So play it all, I’m wide awake
It’s a scene about me
There’s something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can’t get what you want
Well, it’s all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance
man he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you lead the way
show the light of day
nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
Trust deceived!
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit em' right between the eyes
Hit em' right between the eyes
when you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See them running for their lives
Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit em' right between the eyes
Hit em' right between the eyes
when you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
see them running for their lives
clever alibis
lord of the flies
Hit em' right between the eyes
Hit em' right between the eyes
when you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See em' running for their lives

Risky Business
As some of you may know (even though inside I know I'm only talking to two people who do know) I went to a Rock Band Live concert on Sunday. The bands that played there were The Cab, Plain White T's, Dashboard Confessional, and Panic At The Disco (respectively). Today I am reviewing one of the songs by The Cab that stuck with me.
This song is called Risky Business. Before The Cab started playing, the front man told us that whenever he said "Stop asking" we say "Keep dancing!". I just can't get through that song without singing that line lol :P (see short video below)
