oh my holy poo

ZOMG you guys. 

I cannot BELIEVE that I haven't posted about this song until now.

It's almost a sin. Okay, not even close...but you know what I mean.

Hmmm? What's that? You're wondering what all the hearts are for? 

Ohhhhhh well, they have to do with the SOTD, so bear wih me.

SONG: Would You Go With Me

ARTIST: Josh Turner

ALBUM: Your Man

ohhh my gosh.

Isn't he so so so hottttttt??

Wow, I'm not really sure why i'm so twtterpated right now. 

Well, okay, maybe I do know why, but that's none of your business.

Josh Turner's voice is....Incredible. 

It is SO LOW. And if you really knew me, you'd know that low voices are (one of) my weakness(es). 

Josh and I have a long relationship.

I'm sure I first heard him whilst watching CMT.

However, this song was re-introduced to me by my friend Daryn, when we were driving aimlessly around in her car listening to her vast country collection. 

The song immediately grabbed my attention: tricky banjo and mandolin finger picking with a memorable melody line. After such a hooker of an intro, I was obligated to listen to the voice.

"Would you go wiiiiiith meeeeeee"...oh man, folks...I was gone.

I realized then and there that if a boy was ever going to have my hand in marriage, he would play me one of JT's songs...preferably this one. So, because I was drawn in even further by the sexiest voice I've ever heard, I HAD to listen to the lyrics:

~~Would you go with me if we rolled down streets on fire?

Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher,

If we roll from town to town and never shut it down?

Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover?

Would we walk even closer until the trip was over,

And would it be okay if I didn't know the way?

If I gave you my hand would you take it

And make me the happiest man in the world?

If I told you to my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you girl,

Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea;

Let me know if you're really a dream?

I love you so, so would you go with me?~~

Mmmmhhhmmmmm. You're melting too. 

The music video depicts a boy and girl at different stages of life: little kids, teenagers, married couple, and then just the old man holding his wife's ashes. The whole time, it's obvious they're in love. 

At the end of the video, the old man is alone, and he's standing in the imaginative world that he and the girl created together. Then, the girl (in little girl form), runs up and puts her hands down on the "treasure box" (box of ashes) and he puts his hands on hers. (if you think about it, that's kind of weird, yet still cute due to the context of the video/song.) Then he turns into the little version of himself again, and they go laughing into the sunset. 

It really is presh. 

This song is about being able to trust the one you love--even enough to do absolutely crazy things, because you know they love you back and you wouldn't want to be with anyone else. 

You love them BECAUSE of the crazy adventures you go on and because they know how to get you, to make you fall in love even harder. You can't help yourself.

Do you have a someone like that?

Oh, and Josh? I definitely WILL go with you. Anywhere.

tangled

Alright folks,

it's that time again.

the time when i obsess over a new movie.

what is this movie you ask? 

Tangled.

It's about Rapunzel.

All of the songs from the movie are favorites. 

But, there is one that I find particularly funny right now, 

and that is the song, "Mother Knows Best"

SONG: Mother Knows Best

ARTIST: Mother Gothel/Donna Murphy

ALBUM: Tangled Soundtrack

  

This is Mother Gothel.

Evil sorceress who kidnaps Rapunzel because of the special power of her hair. Rapunzel's hair has the power to keep good ol' Mother Gothel young. 

One day, Rapunzel asks to leave the tower, and MG's response is this song:

Mother Gothel:

You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!

Look at you, as fragile as a flower

Still a little sapling, just a sprout

You know why we stay up in this tower

Rapunzel:

I know but...

Mother Gothel:

That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear

Guess I always knew this day was coming

Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest

Soon, but not yet

Rapunzel:

But --

Mother Gothel:

Shh!

Trust me, pet

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Listen to your mother

It's a scary world out there

Mother knows best

One way or another

Something will go wrong, I swear

Ruffians, thugs

Poison ivy, quicksand

Cannibals and snakes

The plague

Rapunzel:

No!

Mother Gothel:

Yes!

Rapunzel:

But --

Mother Gothel:

Also large bugs

Men with pointy teeth, and

Stop, no more, you'll just upset me

Mother's right here

Mother will protect you

Darling, here's what I suggest

Skip the drama

Stay with mama

Mother knows best

Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino

Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead

Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?

I only bathed and changed and nursed you

Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it

Let me die alone here, be my guest

When it's too late

You'll see, just wait

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Take it from your mumsy

On your own, you won't survive

Sloppy, underdressed

Immature, clumsy

Please, they'll eat you up alive

Gullible, naïve

Positively grubby

Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague

Plus, I believe

Gettin' kinda chubby

I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you

Mother understands

Mother's here to help you

All I have is one request

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel:

Yes?

Mother Gothel:

Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.

Rapunzel:

Yes, Mother.

Mother Gothel:

I love you very much, dear.

Rapunzel:

I love you more.

Mother Gothel:

I love you most.

Don't forget it

You'll regret it

Mother knows best

*shudder* she's SO evil!!! 

and yet, you can't help but laugh.

one of the funniest/creepiest parts of the song is when she says,

"the plague"

if you see the movie, watch for that part!

go listen!!

let's rethink things

I'm thinking this whole....blog everyday thing might be a wee bit difficult. I have problems...time wasting mostly. 

But anyway, I do have a song to share today.

 

Song: If It's Magic

ARTIST: Stevie Wonder

ALBUM: Hotter Than July

I discovered this song over the summer, and I have loved it ever since. 

The lyrics express emotions everyone wishes.

If something is more so beautiful and the moment should be forever, why can't it be?

I think all of the lyrics need to be posted.

~if it's magic, 

then why can't it be everlasting?

like the sun that always shines

like the poets in his rhyme

like the galaxies in time

if it's pleasing, 

why can't it be never leaving?

like the day that never fails

like on the seashores there are shells

like the time that always tells

it holds the key to every heart

throughout the universe

it fills you up without a bite

and quenches every thirst

so...

if it's special

then with it why aren't we as careful

as making sure we dress in style

posing pictures with a smile

keeping danger from a child

so...

if it's magic

then why can't we make it everlasting

like the lifetime of the sun

it will leave no heart undone

for there's enough for everyone~

so, what if it IS magic....Think About It.

dangflabbit.

wull shoot.

it's time for a double blog post.

the first song for today is dedicated to the cast of South Pacific at SHS. 

Break a lot of legs!

this song is one of my favoritest songs ever.

EVER IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER. 

when a boy wants to marry me, i'll know he's right for me if he plays or sings me this song.

SONG: Some Enchanted Evening

ARTIST: Ezio Pinza

ALBUM: South Pacific

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. 

It's about a man seeing a woman from across a room and KNOWING she's his true love. 

He never wants to leave her, he never wants to hurt her--he only wants to be with her always. No matter how scared the woman is, the man promises her that he will never hurt her, he will be there for her to protect her, and he will love her forever.

"Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger.

You may see a stranger across a crowded room.

And somehow you'll know, you'll know even then

That somewhere you'll see her again, and again...

...Once you have found her, never let her go."

The next song of the day is in honor of my friend Julie.

SONG: Two Birds

ARTIST: Regina Spektor

ALBUM: Far

Regina Spektor is BRILLIANT.

Her lyrics are so unique, and they allude to topics that are important. Her melodies are clever, the words to go along even more so, and she gets me every time. Her lyrics are so unconventional, yet they make so much sense! 

I adore her, and all of her songs. 

Thanks to Jules for introducing me!!

"Two birds on a wire

One tried to fly away and the other

Watches him close from that wire

He says he wants to as well but he is a liar."

a song i want to sing

I mentioned this in a previous post, but:

Do you ever have a song you just want to SING to someone?

you push them into a seat, get up on a stage, somehow have a band appear miraculously behind you, you are all of a sudden in an amazing dress, looking absolutely ravishing, and then...

you sing.

SONG: Speak Now

ARTIST: Taylor Swift

ALBUM: Speak Now

I have heard this song before, and I never really noticed it.

I thought it had a nice tune, a classic t-swift number,

but then I really heard it today.

I was with my cousin, and we were driving around, chatting, and she said, "Listen to these lyrics. They'll blow your mind." (as all t-swift lyrics do). 

I listened. 

Let's just say I was blown away.

"I am not the type of girl 

who should be rudely barging in 

on a white-veil occasion,

but you are not the kind of boy

who should be marring the wrong girl...

...Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

of the church by the back door.

Don't wait or say a single vow-

YOu need to hear me out,

And they say, 'Speak now.'" 

okay. so.

my situation isn't a wedding, 

but it's a situation similar.

someone i care about is making a stupid mistake.

it's one of those, "don't you see how dumb you're being?!?! i'm RIGHT HERE!!!" situations.

they say speak now....what if you're too scared?

what if it doesn't work?

what if it backfires?

what if YOU end up making the mistake?

so many things to keep a person's feelings at bay.

but then again,

who's to say that he won't 

"be glad you were around when they say, 'speak now.'"?? 

think about it.

song(s) of the day

Tsk tsk. I forgot about SOTD yesterdsay....woopsies.

So, to make up for my lack of consistency, I'll add 2!

The first song is one of my favorite songs.

Whenever I listen to it, I can't help but start dancing, and a smile immediately comes to my face.

It reminds me of being a child, sitting in the trunk of my Trooper (car), and reading books in the summer while running errands with my mom. The trooper had a big trunk...no worries, no neglect and/or abuse.

SONG: ABC

ARTIST: Jackson 5

ALBUM: ABC

"ABC, easy as 123, simple as do, re, mi; ABC; 123, baby you and me girl"

The next song is from one of my favorite movies.

My friend Paige introduced me to the movie, song, band, everything about this. The fact that I heart this so much, I owe to Paigiepoo.

This song is one of many fabulous songs from the soundtrack to the movie, and I love every single one of them. I'll probably make the rest SOTDs at some point. 

SONG: Fallen From The Sky

ALBUM: Once Soundtrack

ARTIST: The Swell Season (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)

"You must've fallen from the sky,

You must've crashed down on the runway.

You brought so many to the light, and now you're by yourself.

There comes a point in every fight 

Where giving up seems like the only way

When everyone has said goodbye

And now you're on your own.

If you need somewhere to fall apart

Somewhere to fall apart"

This song is unlike any other song on the album. 

The musicality is very...upbeat. There are other upbeat songs in the movie, but they are....very...different. This song has such a fun feel to it, and the music is so unique. These two have the ability to write the most beautiful songs--their lyrics are GENIUS. Listen to it, and you'll see what I mean.

is it cold in here?

 This song always pops up in my head at random times.

I was humming it, and then I walked into the bookstore, and BOOM! It was playing!

I was like....the radio and I are experiencing telepathy.

Probably not, but you never know!

SONG: Hot

ARTIST: Avril Lavigne

ALBUM: The Best Damn Thing (heh...damn...)

"I wanna lock you up in my closet, where no one's around.

I wanna put your hand in my pocket, because you're allowed.

I want to drive you into a corner, and kiss you without a sound.

I want to stay this way forever, I'll say it loud...

...You make me so hot."

Have you ever felt that way about anyone?

I sure have. 

This is so embarrassing, but when I see a toats hottttt guy, this song tends to come on in my head. I know, right?

Creepy.

Can't wait till I find someone who wants to sing this song about me.

Creepy.

What else is new?

let's go to greece!

why hello there.

i'm talking to no one.

oh well.

Today's song was first on my shuffle.

SONG: Part of a Painting

ARTIST: Titus Burgess

ALBUM: Pasek and Paul

Tituss Burgess

Pasek and Paul

(composers)

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

I first heard this song in January when Pasek and Paul came to the Utah Theater Association conference in Orem, Utah.

Justin Paul sang it the first time I heard it, and I....died.

Music has a way of touching my heart unlike any other.

This song is about a man who goes to find himself in Greece. 

The lyrics paint a picture as beautiful as the coast of Greece.

As the song progresses, it's revealed that the man is writing a letter to the girl he loves. He's not sure how to tell her he loves her because of apprehension, and because he's unsure if he can admit to something so strong.

Listen to this song.

You won't regret it.

It's beautiful.

MOre beautiful than I am.
