I want everything that I want

One of those bands from Sunset Sessions last weekend. That I have been obsessing about. Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. Gosh I am so blessed to be down here doing what I am doing. I wouldn't have seen this band play, and wouldn't have fallen in love with them. I just love them. This song is almost so perfect...I don't want EVERYTHING...I actually want very little...but the things I DO want...oh yes. I want them. And I usually get them, because I want them bad enough. I work hard, I give my 110%, I put everything I have into it if I REALLY want it. That's why I know I am going to achieve my career goals & dreams...you want something bad enough, you do whatever humanly possible to make it happen. Soooo yes. This song fits.


"I Want Everything That I Want"

C'mon
I'm a girl with the best intentions
There's something I should probably mention
I like to get just what I paid for
So I pay and I get and I pay and I want some more more more

And I want something that I want
Something that I tell myself I need
Something that I want
I need everything I see
Something that I want
Something that I tell myself I need
Something I want
I need everything I see

I'm a girl who's got a notion
I'm a gonna show you my magic potion
I can shop till I drop down to the floor..
And I get right up and I want some more more more

And I want something that I want

Something that I tell myself I need

Something that I want

I need everything I see

Something that I want

Something that I tell myself I need

Something I want

I need everything I see 

Cuz I want it
I need it
Hey Hey Hey

And I want something that I want

Something that I tell myself I need

Something that I want

I need everything I see

Something that I want

Something that I tell myself I need

Something I want

I need everything I see 

Won't you give it me now?

Cuz I want everything I see

*side note* I need to be careful and only want the things I really need. I don't want to tell myself I need something, if I don't really. I want happiness in my life, with my career, love, family & friends. That kinda covers it.
I am grateful to have everything I have, and everything that I will have in the future.  

Apologies + tumblr blog of the night = enough said

After writing my blog on tumblr, which is out of ordinary for me to actually write on that one, I felt this song was appropriate. It's time for me to accept a few things in the love department. "Apologies" by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals...so fitting. Coincides with the other blog of the night. 


"Apologies"

Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said well what do you expect
You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way
And he said

Oh he said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze

He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eye and said
I'll always tell you you're my friend
I hope i don't have to lie
Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn right

And he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That i didn't figure it out before
And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignity
It's time for apologies 

Life is Okay

I don't know if I can explain exactly why I picked this song today. Just makes me feel better for some reason. I am feeling a bit blah...due to a few different factors. I was exposed to a lot of incredible music the past 5 days...and I default to this one.  Too many great artists and songs to really pick one of them right now. My brain isn't processing as it normally is, so I got this one. Life is Okay. I am a day dreamer, a hopeless believer, just don't play games with my heart.  So for today...here it is.


Michael Johns & Brooke White...."Life is Okay" 
I remember skies are blue
There’s always someone you never knew
Life is okay…
I think about those days gone by
When there was nothing like you and I
Life, ooh, is okay…

But I’m just a daydreamer
One of those hopeless believers
I’m standin’ on the outside lookin’ in
Oh tell me you name baby
Don’t you play games with my heart
And make me feel like I’m outside looking in…

I remember days gone by when the fire-lit skylight
Where it was only you and I, gonna live forever
The thoughts of you go through my head and it would take me back to that time again
but it would never be gonna be you and me forever
Forever, baby!

I’m just a daydreamer
One of those hopeless believers
I’m standin’ on the outside lookin’ in
Tell me you name baby
Don’t you play games with my heart
And make me feel like I’m outside looking in…
Life Is Okay lyrics on
http://music.yeucahat.com/song/English/51088-Life-Is-Okay~Brooke-White-Michael-Johns.html

Ohh… ooh
Oh yeah…

Ooh…
Oh, say no, no, no!
But I’m just a daydreamer
One of those hopeless believers
I’m standin’ on the outside lookin’ in.. ohh
Oh tell me you name baby
Don’t you play games with my heart
And make me feel like I’m outside lookin’ in…ohh

But I’m just a daydreamer one of those hopeless believers
Ooh… I remember days gone by when the fire-lit skylight
I’m standin’ on the outside lookin’ in..
Where it was only you and I, gonna live lookin’ lookin’ lookin’…
Ohh...Tell me you name baby don’t you play games with my heart
The thoughts of you go through my head and it would take me back to that time again but it would...
Never be gonna be you and me

Life is okay...

Be everything I dreamed of...

When I get to be involved in music, happenings, making, promotions, anything...I just get so energetic and happy and motivated to be a success and just be awesome. I heard this song today and thought it related to me and my career of choice...


"Somethin' Special"

I found a way to be everything
I've dreamed of,
and I know it's in me
that I will become
who I want to be
and I finially found it and I'm taking the long way out
Cause it's gonna be, something special to me
Something special to me

Days go by
and I grow stronger
It takes time, but I'll never let go
Days go by and I'll try harder to make it mine, I know...
Something special to me
Something special to me
Something special to me

I've found
so many things
I've dreamed of
and I know it's in me
that I will become
who I want to be
and I finially found it and I am taking the long way out
Cause it's gonna be,
something special to me
Something special to me
Days go by and I grow stronger
It takes time, but I'll never let go
Days go by and I'll try harder to make it mine, I know...
It's something special to me

More than I hoped for
More than I dreamed of
This is how it should be.
More than I hoped for
More than I dreamed of
This is how it should be.

Days go by and I'll grow stronger
It takes time, but I'll never let go
Days go by and I'll try harder to make it mine, I know.

It's something special to me
It's something special to me
It's something special to me
Days go by and I grow stronger
It takes time, but I will never let go.
Days go by and I grow stronger
It takes time, but I will never let go. 

Make Me Smile :)

Apparently I am not sticking to the "everyday" posting...but it still has it's purpose. I actually was able to be reminded of my need/love/passion for music again today...I feel a blog waiting to get out, but I can't focus my thoughts enough to actually start one. I do know that I am so driven still for my career to happen, and I feel I am really close. I am learning a couple valuable lessons about friendship this week, and they suck. :( I am also being reminded of how nice it feels to like someone, and have them like you back. Even though I keep getting entwined into situations that who knows how they will work out...but damn it feels so good I can't stop. I have to just let it happen, however it decides to go. I know my heart will eventually let the wall down and stop being superficial and allow someone to have it again. I can tell my heart wants to be in love again. It's terrified of being shattered again, so it defaults to the physicality and the innocence of new "love". Even when I type "love", my heart feels weird. It's definitely not ready, and it's definitely scared as all hell. But at the same time, it's ready for someone to prove it's worth the fall. I want to love someone and I want someone to love me again...

Soooo even though my life, my focus, my passion, my drive...all is directed towards my career....I really want to feel some love...cuz damn it feels so good when it's the same level of want, of need, of passion, of love.  Since it feels so good to smile for those reasons...this is the song of choice for the day.

"Smile"

You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow (that's right)
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Let's me know that it's okay (yea, it's okay)
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like a sun, Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you gone
Somehow you come along just like a flower pokin through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain
And just like that

You make me smile like a sun, Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
Don't know how I lived without you
'Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

You make me smile like a sun, Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smile 

Coupla days put together...

It's been a fabulous few days...even though I missed the daily posts on this one...this song pretty much sums them all up completely. 


"Feeling Good"

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you
know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good 

Song of the day...day 2

As long as I don't stop believing...things happen for me. Happiness and wonderful things happen to those who believe they will. And that's what I do. I believe. :)




"Don't Stop Believin'"

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people 

First song of the day! Feb. 10, 2010

I don't know if I will explain the song choices or not. Maybe each day will be different. Today's song is by one of the new artists I have found thanks to my job. Dave Barnes - "Loving You, Loving Me". Most people who know me know I am a sucker for love songs. I realized I am in love with love. So yeah. No real relevance, just a new song for me and I thought it could be a good first post to this new blog of mine.


It's just me and you and the moonlight, baby
I'm staring at you staring at the stars tonight
Someday felt so hard it disappeared
And you and I can start this evening right

What I say out loud is only whatever is in my head
Tonight I would rather look at you instead

I can't get enough of you
Every little thing you do
You, the night, and this candlelight is all I really need
It's loving you loving me

Dogs are barking in the yard a few feet away
And TV in the den is on CNN
Seemed to me these clouds were showing rain
But nothing can change this mood I'm in

What I say out loud is only whatever is in my head
Tonight I'd rather look at you instead

I can't get enough of you
And every little thing you do
You, the night, and this candlelight is all I really need
Loving you loving me

I've been all day waiting
For you to come back home
Now I appreciate that
I will never be alone, baby

What I say out loud is only whatever is in my head
Tonight I'd rather look at you instead

And I can't get enough of you
And every little thing you do (x2)
You, the night, and this candlelight is all I really need
Loving you loving me

Loving you loving me
Loving you loving me
Let's get together and start a family
Loving you loving me, baby
Loving you loving me, baby, you know I'm never gonna go away
Loving you, oh, loving me, oh, baby
