Take A Poll 1
Saw this poll and since I've read a few articles about digital downloads, etc. lately I thought it would be a good one to share
Lyrics to Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae
I just love her voice and her vibe
Here are the lyrics courtesy of metrolyrics:
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands
honour to love you
Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind
You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel I'm alive,
When everything else is so au fait
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song of your love,
Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind
aghhhh
na, na, na,na,
naaa naaaaaaa
ohhhhh
na, na, na,na,
naaa naaaaaaa
Now I have come to understand The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'Cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,
Yeah-yeah
oh
Oooh......Ooohhhh..
ohhhhhhhh....
I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I won't let my guard down for anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands.

Big Band
This morning I've been in a Big Band sort of mood. There are sometimes when life gets so AARGH that Big Bands & Standards and thoughts of relatively simpler times just seem to fit.
I guess you can say I am a moody music listener. I listen to music depending on my mood. The only music I don't ever have a mood for is hateful music, other than that there seems to be a time when I'll draw upon any of the variety of genres.
Anyway, I have my Slacker station on while I try to get things done and think through the upcoming funeral my family will have.
Tell someone they matter today. Okay?

Health & Music - Staying Alive
While watching Good Morning America this morning, there was a doctor who mentioned that you can perform chest compressions to the Bee Gees' Staying Alive. Now I can't get that song out of my head especially the doctor in his sort of flat voice "singing" LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE STAYING ALIVE, STAYING ALIVE
The song will not leave my head.

Jeffrey Phung
For about a year I have been listening to a really talented singer,Jeffrey Phung. He sings his own songs and his. One really cool thing is that even though he doesn't sale his songs on the internet he keeps making new ones. I think I've heard at least 2 this month. I think everyone should definitely keep an eye out for Jeffery to become a big hit.

Flying Songs
So the other day I saw Seal on the telli singing his new song for his album. It reminded me of one of his other songs which I consider a favorite,"Fly like an Eagle". So now that has me on a whole flying songs record in my head. So now I have Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away" from his "5" album in my head. A course that also made me think he should have a new song soon and find out he is having an album planned for release in 2008.
That made me think that I have liked every 'flying' song that I've heard. I have another in my head but cant think of the name of the artist. oh well can anyone think of any other flying songs?

Eagles' Lyrics to Hotel California
Courtesy of lyrics007 - I'm beginning to love that site
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Flashback: Eagles - Hotel California
In honor of their #1 Album thought I would share with you one of my favorites. An Oldie but a Very Goodie - Hotel California. Thanks to taketyan for uploading this to Youtube
-AnOldieButaGoodie
Eagles are #1
I was actually going to blog about this yesterday while Billboard was still going to give Britney Spears the #1 Album. I am glad to wake up and read today that Billboard has revised their policy and that The Eagles will get the #1 Album. For me it isn't about being Anti Britney Spears or anything but when one party sells 700K more than double the competitor than they have earned it fair and square.
So Congratulations Eagles from one Oldie to another.

India.Arie on the Brain
Has it ever happened to you were you get into an Artist groove. It seems that since a bit before lunch I've been on an India.Arie kick - Video, Little Things, Can I Walk With You, I Am Not My Hair. She has been on a steady loop over here. She really has some great music out and it often touches a chord within me.
Se7en - Honey I Know
Well I found the first song I heard from Se7en. Again I like the quality of his voice (not hard to look at either) Anyway, here's a youtube clip.
