Ah... my daughters know I really like the song Sail by AWOLNation and cats... what better way to make me happy??? mash the two together??

Flo Rida Whistle... ya know doomer... if this weren't such a nasty song... I would probably like it much more.

I was surfing the UK charts and found this one, it is currently #3
Emeli Sande "Read All About It Part 3"



You've got the words to change a nation
but you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
So come, on come on
Come on, come on
You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Baby we're a little different
there's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
so stop hiding it away
Come on, Come on


I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
so put it in all of the papers,
i'm not afraid
they can read all about it
read all about it oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh


At night we're waking up the neighbours
while we sing away the blues
making sure that we remember yeah
cause we all matter too
if the truth has been forbidden
then we're breaking all the rules
so come on, come on
come on, come on,
lets get the tv and the radio
to play our tune again
its 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events
there's no need to be afraid
i will sing with you my friend
Come on, come on


I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
so put it in all of the papers,
i'm not afraid
they can read all about it
read all about it oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh


Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
so when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
so take a chance, come help me sing this
Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
so when did we all get so fearful?
and now we're finally finding our voices
so take a chance, come help me sing this


I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
so put it in all of the papers,
i'm not afraid
they can read all about it
read all about it oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh


I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
so put it in all of the papers,
i'm not afraid
they can read all about it
read all about it oh

Also on the UK charts is a song by Paloma Faith, Picking up the Pieces. YouTube has two versions, the original and an acoustic version... I am really torn as to which version I like better.

Upbeat original



watch the more mellow acoustic here

Typical "black" song, not that nasty

So I was torn, should I put this one under Hanna's Olympic thread, the Movie thread or here? When I think about all the footage from all the Olympics, this was an editors dream and nightmare at the same time. It really is a great song and an amazing piece of editing.

Survival by Muse



Lyrics:
Race, life’s a race
And I am gonna win
Yes, I am gonna win

And I’ll light the fuse
And I’ll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

You won’t pull ahead
I’ll keep up the pace
And I’ll reveal my strength
To the whole human race

Yes I am prepared
To stay alive
And I won’t forgive,
Vengeance is mine
And I won’t give in
Because I choose to thrive

Yeah, I’m gonna win!

[guitar solo]

Race, it’s a race
And I’m gonna win
Yes, I’m gonna win

And I will light the fuse
I’ll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

You won’t pull ahead
'Cause I’ll keep up the pace
And I’ll reveal my strength
To the whole human race

Yes I'm gonna win

[guitar solo]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!

Yes I’m gonna win!

Sergey, thank you so much for posting the David Garrett video. I had not heard of him before and wow O.o. And his birthday is today, how appropriate that you posted one of his songs today.

Wow, I posted about Paloma just a few weeks ago and here is an article just yesterday about here starting her tour here in the US and she is playing here in Washington tonight! I looked to see if tickets were still available and they were sold out... Grrrrrrr, and they were only $15!!!

Count On Me - Bruno Mars Lyrics

Austra "Darken Her Horse" (Album Version) - YouTube



Ride her darken horse
her tempers lie untold
it's always the same
it's always the same.
A customary trend,
the course is laid to play.
I noticed it's there,
I noticed it's there,
I noticed...

Shoot into the darkness with your hands.
Shoot into the darkness with your hands.

Ride her darken horse
her tempers lie untold
it's all insane
it's all insane.
A monster for a friend
a liar to depend.
I noticed it's there,
I noticed it's there,
I noticed...

Hold her by the reins,
the moon isn't far,
hold her by the reins,
it's worth it to stay.
Nothing stable, nothing patient here.

Ride her darkened horse
the pathway to the end
she's all alone
she's all alone.
Her trust was never there
it's yours she needs to hear.
I noticed it's there,
I noticed it's there,
I noticed...

Hold her by the reins,
the moon isn't far,
hold her by the reins,
it's worth it to stay.

Hold her by the reins,
the moon isn't far,
hold her by the reins,
it's worth it to stay.
Nothing stable, nothing patient here.

A silly/funny song that I heard on the radio today... Incidentally had discussions about a work transfer back to the UK today.

I don't understand all of it, but I believe it's a parody of people who think it's better to live somewhere other than where they are. (?) (who, me?! ) And he is wrong that there is no train from Moscow to London. Only two changes and he is there! Btw is this singer really Russian... He doesn't look it!
