above is the youtube link for this song. it's called C.O.T.E (cote = centre of the earth) by a band called Karnivool
I absolutely love this song. once vocals come in it starts off quite soft and takes you in with a feeling of empathy. The vocals take you on an emotional journey.
the tone quality in the lead singers voice when he sings "No, I don't think you like me," is just beautiful as he reveals a sense of vulnerability. The repetition of this line in the song suggests a reoccuring event. the title expresses a sense of what the song is about as well, how society works. This song is all about being yourself, and how he sees the world.
my favourite lyric section in this song is the bridge:
"Sing alone, sing aloud, to be alive, its so good to feel you near
swim alone, live a dream, see me drown, all this in apathy
Be still for a moment
so you can face this world, you face it all for a moment
so you can face this world, you face this world"
This verse is pretty self explanatory really. It is about exactly what it possess. the first line of this verse "Sing alone, sing aloud, to be live, it's so good to feel you near," presents a sense of gratitude to just being "alive," being hear and now! why do we sing? to express ourselves, we sing when we're happy we sing when we're sad, it's our form of expression, and here the lead singer is doing just that.
"Swim alone, live a dream, see me drown, all this in apathy." a sense of having it all, and not caring - apathy meaning a sense of lack of concern, therefore the world as we know it. take it for granted, you can have it all and not care, be the centre of the earth (C.O.T.E) and not appreciate it. And so you must "be still for a moment; so you can face this world, you face it all for a moment." take that moment in, appreciate what has been thrown at you and what you have, face the world and take it all on. Moment of confrontation.

SORRY - Bic Runga
gahh it's so annoying..i youtube bic runga - sorry and all i get is bic runga sway! wanted to post the link so, if you can ever find it let me know...it's off the abulm "Drive". I really like this song. The melody is quite powerful as are the lyrics, thus the two tieing in well together. What I find interesting is although the song is called sorry, I dont think she ever actually says the word "sorry" and uses it as a lyrics throughout the song. "Sorry" I lie, (see what I did there =p) the closest she comes to saying "it" (Idid "it" again) is the use of the word "sorries," in the first verse. (I was not aware that I had even done this until proof reading )
I also really like how musically the song builds. before the lyrics even come in, the music starts really soft and each bar just gradually keeps building ever so slightly. My favourite lyrics in this song are the first 2 verses... I think here Bic turns her stubborness to apologise through lyrics.
And again, I feel this song something everyone can relate to. Well I know I can anyway. We all have our stubborn and proud moments, where we don't know how to swallow our own pride and be the bigegr person. They say "sorry" and "I love you" are the hardest things to say. I personally can see how the two come hand in hand, and I feel in this song that Bic feels the same way. Given that in the first line it says "wring out my guilt" my interpretation is that Bis is at fault, but she is to stubborn and proud and finds it hard to face up to this.
Bic procrastinates what she needs to say by "looking round the pantry for a box of sorries."
I love the imagery created in the verses as well. I also love how the listener is to assume what "it" is in the line "say it now"... given the title of the song I have assumed the word "it" being figuritive for "sorry."
***
Wring out my guilt and hang it on the line
Its been raining all week, it won't get a chance to dry
I've been looking round the pantry for a box of sorries
I'm all run out yeah
I'm all run out
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say
So why can't I say it now?
And its been swelling up inside like the kitchen sponge
Its on the back of my throat, its on the tip of my tongue
If I could sweep it out the door that would be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say
So why can't I say it now?
Say It now, say it now, say it now!
Say it now, say it now, say it now!
And I've been locking all the doors and drawing all the blinds
It always seems to find its way back inside
If I could sweep it out the door that would be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again
So I can say it now
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
It's not that hard to say I know

12 worlds apart
"12 Worlds Apart," is something I wrote in compostion/songwriting class one monday at tafe. Really just about miscommunication and the inability to be able to clearly express and reveal yourself to someone and the frustration and consequences that can come of it. I feel it's something most people can relate to. Basically just being in the same room as someone but feeling exactly that "12 worlds apart." Something/Someone, so close yet so far away.
12 worlds apart
how did it come to this?
They're standing in the same room,
yet they're 12 worlds apart.
How did they end up there?
He says if she doesn't stop then he'll leave.
12 worlds apart, and where to go from here?
she says she's not afraid of the climb!
That she's afraid of the fall;
because last time she almost lost it all.
He wants to see her everyday.
but she doesn't wanna be where he has been before.
Standing in the same room they are 12 worlds apart.
12 worlds apart in a land she can not stand.
she sees them everyday.
mind over matter, her head explodes.
they can not go on this way.
12 worlds apart;
It must come to an end.
12 worlds apart;
she wonders if her heart will ever mend!
Forever, 12 worlds apart.
12 worlds apart
how did it come to this?
They're standing in the same room,
yet they're 12 worlds apart.
How did they end up there?
He says if she doesn't stop then he'll leave.
12 worlds apart, and where to go from here?
she says she's not afraid of the climb!
That she's afraid of the fall;
because last time she almost lost it all.
He wants to see her everyday.
but she doesn't wanna be where he has been before.
Standing in the same room they are 12 worlds apart.
12 worlds apart in a land she can not stand.
she sees them everyday.
mind over matter, her head explodes.
they can not go on this way.
12 worlds apart;
It must come to an end.
12 worlds apart;
she wonders if her heart will ever mend!
Forever, 12 worlds apart.
crappy attempts at poetry...(lyrics without a melody)
hiding in shadows, I've fallen behind.
Trembling in your footsteps, invisible again.
Wishing on a shooting star;
memories folded up and put away;
hopefully to be opened up some other day.
We were never any good at good bye's.
refrain: Sometimes life gets a little crazy
Ignorance is bliss, but now I feel alone.
Left behind; I've fallen back into the old days.
Day dreams of you and me, when we would stay out all night.
under the stars counting all the constellations;
And you'd promise me forever.
Refrain: Life gets a little crazy sometimes.
Folded up and put away.
Four seasons gone;
It's time to fly
Trembling in your footsteps, invisible again.
Wishing on a shooting star;
memories folded up and put away;
hopefully to be opened up some other day.
We were never any good at good bye's.
refrain: Sometimes life gets a little crazy
Ignorance is bliss, but now I feel alone.
Left behind; I've fallen back into the old days.
Day dreams of you and me, when we would stay out all night.
under the stars counting all the constellations;
And you'd promise me forever.
Refrain: Life gets a little crazy sometimes.
Folded up and put away.
Four seasons gone;
It's time to fly

John Butler
John Butler is a huge musical influence to me both lyrically and musically. This song "Revolutions" off the album April rising, really speaks to me along woth another song off this album "One way Road. My interpretation was that they both came across political and about the bigger picture and the bigger world and standing up for yourself and what you believe in. The world past yourself. And how screwed up this world can be. It's time for people to take a stand. This song meets a lot of my beliefs towards todays society. I would love to change the world and make it a better place but I'm just one person and John Butler makes a difference through his music writing about this stuff. He has power to be heard and I feel John But ler to be an amazing artist using his power to speak up.
Revolutions
So tell me family now what do you think ?
Watch it all go down the great big sink.
Watch how the scum it rises to the top.
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,
serving the dodgy companies we keep.
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place -
dictionary definition of a rat race.
Pay off those losers we elect to lead,
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed.
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,
I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm saying
Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame,
revolution already underway.
Big Heavy Pirates man digging those holes,
messing with something that they can't control.
Tresspassing lands where they don't belong,
all I hear is screaming where there once were songs.
I got my brothers there fighting those wars,
fighting over scraps and scraping their souls.
Under a blanket of a fire and pride
that can't keep us warm for the cold inside,
inside, I'm saying
Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame,
revolution already underway.
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes?
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,
open my fist my destiny I take!
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,
we call them kings but I see no crown.
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up,
say enough is enough is enough,enough I'm saying
Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame,
revolution already underway.
Take back your feet, take back your hands.
Take back your words, take back your lands.
Take back your heart, take back your pride.
Don't got to run, don't got to hide.
Revolution.
One Way Road
They come they take
It's never enough because they cant relate
To the real world, thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl
They start those wars
They want to own the land sea and all the stars
And right those wrongs
They change their history with their poison forked tongues.
All right, whos they?
A maybe its the government of today
Or B for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him
Or C for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle
Or D for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.
Doesn't mean I aint gonna fight now
Just because I dont got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and
This guitar is my canon
Just like my Martin and Mahatma
I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come
Maybe it's E for all of the above but I dont want to be
Wrong way going down the one way road
Wrong way going down the one way road
Wrong way going down the one way road
Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one way road
Wrong way going on a one way road
Wrong way going down the one way road
Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
These men who they say we should follow
But we cant follow men if their hearts are hollow and
Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect?
Straight up straight up staight up like Pinocchio
And every time they lie man the fire just grows so
I'm gonna be a part of the solution
Raise up your fists if you believe in revolution
Doesn't mean I aint gonna fight now
Just because I dont got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and
This guitar is my canon
Just like my Martin and Mahatma
I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come
Maybe it's E for all of the above but I dont want to be
Livin' in a pantomime
Livin' in a fantasy
I don't wanna be dont wanna be
I don't wanna be dont wanna be no
Livin' in a pantomime
Livin' in a fantasy
I don't wanna be dont wanna be
I don't wanna be dont wanna be no
Wrong way going down the one way road
Wrong way going down the one way road
Wrong way going down the one way road

Free me now, for I can not free myself.

jealousy
So this week being our first composition and song writing lesson for this term , we were given the instruction to write something/anything that resembles "jealousy." With this, we were to use a sense of taste, feel, look and smell.
This is what I wrote.
The tangy burn seeps into her nostrils.
Her eyes on me always.
A grey aura surrounds her.
He confornts her glare as I stare right on through.
My victory tastes bitter sweet, as SHE skips her rocks pondering and waiting for the man that she'll never meet.
The use of she is delibertae, particularly in the last sentence, hence the caps. I am me and she is she.
Two songs that i thought of when hearing the terms jealousy were Paramore's "Misery Business," and Spill canvas ( I am nto sure what the song is called butI shall find out and get back to y'all. (yes I am gangster now )
Paramore - Misery Business
Spill Canvas - "Himerus And Eros" (yes! I discovered what the song is called :] )
You're captivating while evading
All the questions I have for you like,
"What exactly makes you tick?"
When the guilt sets in tell me
What are we going to do?
Your tongue is wet with a top secret passion
I hope I am the cause of it
I'll navigate this unsturdy vessel
Filled with a soft sea of pillows and blankets
And I fight the urge to explore
The vastness of your curves I adore
You know I, I hate you
No, I hate you more
You know I, I love you
No, I love you more
Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you
I've sunken in the quicksands of love
And I don't want you to rescue me
Screw what my supposed friends
think
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
And I fight the urge to explore
The vastness of your curves I adore
You know I, I hate you
No, I hate you more
You know I, I love you
No, I love you more
Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you
I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired 4 A.M. lips
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing and the friction of hips
Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you
In this song I really love how they lyrics are written! They really create a sens eof taste, feel, look, and smell. It even uses the word "jealousy" in it. Howveerr, it was not till after thinking of this song that made me think of that particular lyrics. The part that triggered my memory of this song in class was actually the bridge.
I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired 4 A.M. lips
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing and the friction of hips
I love those lyrics. I think they are highly intelligent and to me are inspiration, as I wish that is how I could write. to be able to put thoughts and actions down onto paper like that without it sounding corny. It creates imagery fo natural occurences of different relationships in day to day life.
This is what I wrote.
The tangy burn seeps into her nostrils.
Her eyes on me always.
A grey aura surrounds her.
He confornts her glare as I stare right on through.
My victory tastes bitter sweet, as SHE skips her rocks pondering and waiting for the man that she'll never meet.

Paramore - Misery Business
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's tickin like a clock
It's only a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks later, we caught fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Ooh, it was never my intention to brag
And steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Acting as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Ooh, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so goodSpill Canvas - "Himerus And Eros" (yes! I discovered what the song is called :] )
You're captivating while evading
All the questions I have for you like,
"What exactly makes you tick?"
When the guilt sets in tell me
What are we going to do?
Your tongue is wet with a top secret passion
I hope I am the cause of it
I'll navigate this unsturdy vessel
Filled with a soft sea of pillows and blankets
And I fight the urge to explore
The vastness of your curves I adore
You know I, I hate you
No, I hate you more
You know I, I love you
No, I love you more
Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you
I've sunken in the quicksands of love
And I don't want you to rescue me
Screw what my supposed friends
think
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
And I fight the urge to explore
The vastness of your curves I adore
You know I, I hate you
No, I hate you more
You know I, I love you
No, I love you more
Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you
I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired 4 A.M. lips
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing and the friction of hips
Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you
In this song I really love how they lyrics are written! They really create a sens eof taste, feel, look, and smell. It even uses the word "jealousy" in it. Howveerr, it was not till after thinking of this song that made me think of that particular lyrics. The part that triggered my memory of this song in class was actually the bridge.

I love those lyrics. I think they are highly intelligent and to me are inspiration, as I wish that is how I could write. to be able to put thoughts and actions down onto paper like that without it sounding corny. It creates imagery fo natural occurences of different relationships in day to day life.
Lyrics take 2
So I finally worked out how to create a blog. woo go me..only 10 weeks too late but it'll get there. Even stayed back at atfe to finally do it as i currently have no internet atm =(
here are some lyrics that I love.
Missy Higgins - Warm Whispers
your warm whispers
out of the dark they carry my heart
your warm whispers
into the dawn they carry me through
And I am weeping warm honey and milk
that you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
your warm whispers
letting me drown in a pool of you
your warm whispers
keeping the noise from breaking through
And I am weeping warm honey and milk
that you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Yeah, I am weeping warm honey and milk
that you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
your warm whispers
your warm whispers
And I am weeping warm honey and milk
that you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Yeah, I am weeping warm honey and milk
that you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
For me this song is one of those songs you wish that you wrote yourself.
To me, the lyrics speak and is a really pretty instrumental too.
My interpretation and what I think:
"Warm Whispers," the use of these words creates a feel and atmosphere. This song creates a lot of visual imagery fro example "Drowning in a pool of you". It creates a sense of taste with "honey and milk." foods that everyone can relate to.
The use and repetition of "surrounding you," can be both literal and metaphoric. It could be a reference to the materialistic surrounds that are memories of you.
