Favorite Song Of The Week

This has always been my favorite song off Lucy Gray, but after seeing the video (click link below), I've been slightly more obsessed. Envy On the Coast still stand as some of my favorite song-writers. This song has a ton-o lyrics...and they're all great! Anyone can feel free to buy the video and send it to me. Or an Envy On the Coast t-shirt for that matter...

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS:

Mirrors
by: Envy On The Coast

Dear Ms. White,

Put down this night
You wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat with red iron feet
You'll be nursing a bloody nose

Princess, rest
We talk in our sleep
But wouldn't dare to sit too close
I can't be your prince
Though your secrets are safe
I am the mirror who can't let go

With hair as black as night
Her skin a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

Let this apartment breathe
Cause it's what it needs
I'm suffocating the clock to keep you
I think like a saint
But swing like a thief
And inadvertently leading you
To believe I'm your prince
Adorn your bedroom with hints
Take the red from your eyes
And ink it into your skin
Now watch what you say
Cause there's nothing gray
About the color of your sin

With hair as black as night
Her skin a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

A fix
Just a little bit
Give the girl enough to sleep through this
So stop staring at the mirror before it tells you the truth
Cooperate or it'll kill you, too

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
You're bleeding, you're bloodshot
Tired mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(You need to see the pieces you've thrown away)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
Keep your body
Get the hell away

From,
Me

It Was A Thereputic Chain of Events

So, this afternoon upon leaving school I accidentally left my brand new copy of Viva La Vida by Coldplay and my beloved copy of Lost In The Sound of Seperation (Underoath) on top of my car. And drove away. So I'm hoping they're shattered somewhere around the school grounds for me to retrieve tomorrow. I'm positive most of you already know this, and are probably getting annoyed already, but it deeply saddens me. Such a waste...

In memorial of Viva La Vida and Lost In The Sound of Separation:

Favorite Song Of The Week

Well, I was going to post Family Force 5's Fever but just by looking at the lyrics I can tell everyone will be bored instantly. A lot of repition. Of the word 'fever.' Its a great song and you should all love it. But for something more creative that most of you probably haven't heard...

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Hotel Aquarium
by: Falling Up


Is this another complication I face?
Here is the mistake, coming back to catch me.

To you, to you I hold.

Now I know that I'm alive.
All the loneliness is filled by you inside.
And as I finally breathe the air, you open up my eyes.
Now I'm alive.

A lesson in breathing is never using control.
Seconds from this place, I've never been so unsure.

To the heights, to the heights, there is hope.
It's been waiting all along.
To the heights, to the heights, there is hope.
Waiting.

But really. Family Force 5, Remedy Drive and Underoath's album are on this list. Thats just a few too many...

Hardkore Tambourine

Well, I don't know what to tell you. I've actually been avoiding this post lately. (It's the 80th, by the way). I sat with my internet open on the "Create New Page" page for a couple of hours last night. Obviously I never accomplished anything. Well we'll start from the last post and work our way up. Shall we? We shall.

Remedy Drive. They should really be the basis of most of my posts, they're very much deserving of it. But alas, they aren't THAT interesting Melanie...(they are, but we don't need to go there). The album is great and amazing live, as predicted. I met them all at LifeLight and they are friendly and gregarious (take that Klawonn!), as they were last time. I was just more knowledgeable as to what their names are.


Underoath. *cough* Lost In The Sound Of Separation...despite the general lack of Aaron Gillespie (other than his preeminent drumming skillz) it pretty much makes you want to rip off your face and stick your skull in acid bath. In a good way. I don't know what else to say, the love of Underoath only applies to a select few, so most of you probably aren't reading this at all.

HEY COME BACK! You should really leave a comment if you came back. Wow. That was so lame. Moving on... (But really, I like comments).

LifeLight. Despite my mysterious, cadaverous sickness, it was a blasty-blast. The Family Force 5 mosh left me in a less-than-appealing state, 'specially after dry heaving...twice. Well, thats what you get for attempting to leave during Luv Addict. Seeing FF5 twice left me in a state of adoration, though. Their album Dance Or Die is currently floating around at the top of my playlists. I also got to see Remedy Drive twice. They were great, I really don't want to describe with words. Or feelings. I'm just so glad I got to see one of my most favorite bands again. They should be coming back to Sioux Falls again in the near future too! I'll be there!


Well, in school, I'm maintaining my 4.0 GPA as far as I know and such. It's going well, I guess. I sometimes feel bad though, learning and acing stuff and things just comes so easy for me. But I guess that makes up for my complete lack of being capable of doing anything else. Like boys...or dancing...like having a date at winter formal. *glare* You know who you are. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just pity me, please...

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Radiator - Family Force 5
See what I mean?
See you again in about a month!

Exactly.

Well I'd rather not talk about school, seeing as most of you reading my words here attend to the same pit of hell I do. And if you don't, I'm sure you don't want to here about anything miserable such as high school. Exactly.

But music, see, spreads the joy. Along with bashing your head against a SmartBoard and needing more coffee (*coughcoughPsychologycoughcough*).

YAY REMEDY DRIVE!!! Daylight has come! AND IT ROCKS MY WORLD!!! And it should yours too! I'm so excited to see them at LifeLight in a couple of days (AAAHHHH!). Hopefully knowing the songs by the deepest part of my heart will make it even more enjoyable. I'm not quite sure how...but it will! Somehow! Stand Up and All Along are most definitely amazing. Along with Daylight, Hope, What Happens (At The End), Something Made To Last, Belong With You, Heartbeat, Get To Know You, The Sunshine Above The Weather and Valuable. Exactly.

I'm pretty much as equally, if not even more excited for Lost In The Sound Of Seperation, to be delivered September 2nd from Underøath. Hand delivered? I wish. But still. It's exciting stuff. I've only heard the Purevolume version of Desperate Times, Desperate Measures but that song has motivated me to buy the album the day it's released. Along with my obsessive compulsive need to have physical copies of CD's. And seeing as I already have two of Underøath's... Exactly. I sure wish they were going to be at LifeLight. Maybe next year? As long as I see Remedy Drive's shows (yes, plural. AAAHHHH!) I'll be good. Not to mention Switchfoot and Family Force 5.

But enough chatter from me, don't you have something better to do? Exactly.

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Heartbeat - Remedy Drive

And I Thought I Hated Summer

Well Back To School day was a blast. Not really. My picture is horrendous. You don't even know. Bring out the duct tape to cover up my face until retakes! And of course, it wouldn't be high school unless you had to make the trek from E wing to A wing or vice versa between every period all Sophomore year. And I do take offense to the fact that they put my locker in the Special Ed. hallway. My Ad Room's in the gym for God's sakes! Well, here's my schedule. Please inform me if you're in any of my classes with me. Please.

Favorite Song Of The Week

I've been rocking out to this song at top volume for a couple of weeks, so here's to you Whoa Oh!

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Whoa Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone)
by: Forever The Sickest Kids

(And they have so many good pictures I might just add two...or four...)


I candy-coat and cover everything
But I'm still hiding underneath
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
A thousand faces looking up at me
Hands all pointed to the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling

I've got friends in highly low places
I'm standing on post, and I'm posted up
Can't afford to lose them
I've got friends in highly low places
I'll go inside when I wanna party
Grab a girl and dance
(Don't touch me)

Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
I keep pushing myself
Even though I can't take it at all

Girl, who taught you how to move like that?
At this pace you're at you're moving way to fast
I, I saw you from across the room
It's me versus every guy
It's your choice
You choose

I've got friends in highly low places
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
And maybe baby, you could rise above the rest to meet me

Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
I keep pushing myself
Even though I can't take it at all (x2)

You're worth losing my self-esteem
Your clever words mean nothing more to me
Than a lot I've heard in a movie
You're worth losing my, losing my
Losing my self-esteem
You're not worth
Putting myself in these situations

Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Why do I put myself in these situations?
Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
I keep pushing myself
Even though I can't take it at all (x2)
