Song Of The Week Archive



The following are blogs from Martin's MSN Space. This is the archive of his Song Of The Week idea, as the blog is replaced by a new one every week.

You can check out his current blog at his MSN Space.

I will try my best to update this archive as quick as possible, but there are many other things to get done. So be patient! Consequently, don't have a panic attack if you missed a blog on his space and it isn't here. It will be shortly as I always have them, even if they are not published here.


List of Entries:




WEEK #1
aight well...i'm SUPPOSED to be studying for my calculus midterm that's gunna take place in about 7 hours...but i'm a procrastinator and i've never learned how to study anyways, soooo i'm here on my blogspace! woot woot! well i've been toying with the idea of putting up random songs and their lyrics up on my blogspace, i can't really put music right now because...well i gotta learn how to do it, lol, plus it's kinda annoying sometimes to have random music playing in the background...but yeah! so i've been thinking of puttin' up a "song of the week" but i never really found the good opportunity to...so yeah now that i'm supposed to be studying i'll do it! it's a tough choice for the first song because...well yeah so many good songs out there and so many different types of songs! so yeah...not even quite sure which song to put right now... might be a Bad Religion song... Naked Aggression... SNFU...(not gunna be puttin up my own songs, as of yet anyways, if people really wanna see them they can ask me) but yeah I'll try to change it up every week or whatever and you can click on the "SONG OF THE WEEK" link to see it if it gets buried under blogs or whatever...but yeah, i'm sure nobody's gunna bother reading the songs anyways so yeah, haha. Aight! well first song to go up is....

Bad Religion - Broken

She said
Thanks but I'm broken
I guess
You must have misspoken
What a laugh
I've never been chosen by anyone

She was barely a teen
Hanging out in between
Just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile
And incurable style
She was only a dream
How's that
He didn't know a thing about
Making love to the kind of girl you read about

He said
I'm bound to be broken
My Daddy bet
That I'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything

He was a troubled child
Had been down for a while
Always kept to himself
No she couldn't defend
He only wanted a friend
Now he's made something else
It's so sad no one saw it coming
The paper said that he hit the ground running

Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But still I'm not broken
I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality

When the
World is turning for you
Don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair
Well I don't know what you mean
You could never resist
Glorifying despair
Well now it's coming to you and I don't really care

Well I'm not
The kind to insist
You couldn't have missed
We must co exist
So please listen to me
There is no such thing as human debris

Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But that amounts to nothing
I wanna laugh
I'm not joking

I'm unbroken
Oh yeah I said I'm unbroken
I said I'm unbroken
A little cracked it's just a token
I'm really not broken
What a guess I'm unbroken

wel there it is! first song of the week! dunno exactly how it's all gunna work out with this shit...i'll probably end up being too lazy to update more later, haha. so yeah... next week...i'm thinking an 88 Fingers Louie song... we shall see! Bey Bey illiotths!

P.S. got the background music type thing as you all already must have noticed if you're reading this right now lol

WEEK #2
Aiiiiiiiiight! well! it's the end of the week and we all know what that means! it's time for a new song of the week! well i've got quite a few good songs lined up but i figured since i had a song playing in the background for a week i thought i'd put up the lyrics for it! so here it is! (notice how i changed the background music just when i'm about to put up the lyrics) so without further ado! here's the SONG OF THE WEEK!

Naked Aggression - Every Day Another Conflict

Don't got no cash or a future and most people don't like me
I don't get so hung up, I don't get so hung up
I'll worry about that tomorrow baby, I've got things to do
Oh yeah? So what'd'ya gonna do?
I'll tell you - I ain't gonna worry about nothin'
Got worry lines by your eyes cause you stress way too much
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
I take it one day at a time and do the things I need to do
See me laughing at my problems See me laughing at myself
Every conflict every hassle just another card that's dealt to me
I have a friend who lives in a warzone across the sea
Lives in a place where there's constant destruction, death and misery.
He said I wish I had your problems cause they're nothing compared to mine.
Think about what he is saying.
You have a choice in your mind, Is it open or closed?
You think you got it rough You think you got it rough
You've got it easier than most So don't feel sorry for yourself
See me laughing at my problems See me laughing at myself
Every conflict every hassle just another card that's dealt to me

PS The archive has been made on my website!

WEEK #3
well! this is the third song of the week, and nobody but Ryan has commented on my blogs about them, wtf mates?! cmon people! comment! ...or at least comment on my previous blog about starting a band! you sack of wankers! bah! aaaaanyways! i've got a tough choice of what song to put...(as always) so many choices...i think this might get easier once i've gone through like...100songs...which means tht i'll havta wait 2 years...well then... k...well I wanna put a song by 88 Fingers Louie cuz it's such a kickass song...but I think it would be better if i put up a different one up this week, so I'm putting up this next song up for a friend, they (should) know who they are. So without further ado, the song of the week!

Ten Foot Pole - Still Believe

So the walls are closing in to sufficate you
Like you're trapped and flailing blindly in a garbage bag
You're sinking in a tar pit like a saber tooth...
You struggle but the blackness sticks to you
Like a disease that you can't wash off
So you go into the kichen for a carving knife
But you've tried to cut it out before
It only left you hurting more

I still believe in you
I hope that you'll pull through
Don't let this moment last
Let's put it in the past
If you believe in me
Sit down and try to breathe
Let this dark moment go
Turn back to the you I know

You're convinced your friends are hatching plots against you
And your family conspires to watch your misery
Everyone keeps saying it's just chemical
Can't they see that chemicals are killing you?
Just as surely as heart failure
Why not another failure now you're on a roll
Odd that the thought of dying makes you cry
When all you dream about is suicide

I still believe in you
I hope that you'll pull through
Don't let this moment last
Let's put it in the past
If you believe in me
Sit down and try to breathe
Let this dark moment go
Turn back to the you I know

WEEK #4
Alright! it's that time again! time to update my msn space with...that's right...the song of the week! it's what everybody (nobody) has been waiting for! alright! well...what will the new song of the week be? well...fuck...i don't even know yet...but i will know shortly! and then you will also know! (if you bother to read it). K! I've got it! this one is about highschool and bullshit some people have to go through (i'll just let the song speak for itself here...). people have no respect for other people's feelings, only about their own. Fuck other people over so you can get what you want... so without further ado i present...

Dead Kennedys - Straight A's

Sixteen, on the honor roll
I wish that I was dead
Parents hate me, I got zits
And bruises round my head
Pressure's on to get good grades
So I can be like them
Do my homework all the time
I can't go out just then
People they ain't friends at all
They tease and suck me dry
Yell at me when I fuck up
And party while I cry
I look so big on paper
I feel so fucking small
Wanna die and you don't care
Just stride on down the hall
Suicide suicide
Read the paper, wonder why
Turn the light out, then you cry
It's your fault, you made me die

Touch me won't you touch me now
So frozen I can't love
When I was born my mama cried
And picked me up with gloves
Girls, they kick me in the eye
Want answers to the tests
When they get them they drive off
And leave me home to rest
Hold my head
Make me warm
Tell me I am loved
Give me hope
Let me cry
Make me feel
Give me touch

The window's broken; bleeding, screaming
Lying in the hall
I'm gone no one remembers me,
A picture on the wall 'He was such a bright boy The future in his hands...'
- Or a spineless human pinball
Shot around by your demands

Suicide suicide
Goin' to sleep and when I die
You'll look up and realize
Then look down and wipe your eyes
Then go back to your stupid lives
Aw shit

WEEK #5
yeah! it's already been 5 weeks since i started with this "song of the week" thinger mabober so yeah! haha well i'm actually tired now and i havta wake up early tomorrow (what up wit dat?!!) so yeah! ummmm i was gunna put up a song...but it requires an explanation (well not really...but i feel like putting an explanaton) so instead i'll put up the 88 Fingers Louie song that i've mentioned in like...every other song of the week update before this one, hahaha! alright! well yeah, it's a really good song and i think it reflects me on many a days of the week, lol. so without further ado...the song of the week!(i so need to find the mp3 so i can put it up with the song...)

88 Fingers Louie - I Hate Myself

Walking down a crowded street
I stop to get something to eat
And I hope I see no one I know
Out of the blue I see my ex
I think she's looking for some sex
But I tell her I don't want to go

Some people ask me why I feel this way
I look at them and tell them just to go away
I hate myself and everyone else

I just wanna be alone
No one to call me on the phone
Then I know I can be by myself
Just my luck I get a call
I can't get any sleep at all
So I tell 'em all to go to hell

Some people ask me why I feel this way
I look at them and tell them just to go away
I hate myself and everyone else

Some people ask me why I feel this way
I look at them and tell them just go away
I hate myself and everyone else
I hate myself - I hate myself
I hate myself - I hate myself


Comments (2)

I think what Martin means is that he doesn't want to have sex with his ex. Speaking of ex... what were you doing at the EX this year Martin? Stripping? And I think there were some people there that you just met that day... like Charlotte? haha
I remember you were trying to pick between this song and the previous one for last week! Random comment there... but yeah... MEP!

WEEK #6
k...well i'm like...a day...or two late... for the song of the week, but whatever, i was busy this weekend and then i had an exam today that i ummm...prepared...for...yesterday...yeeees, but yeah! so basically that's why i didn't put up the new song of the week...that very few people read anyways, lol. so yes! today i shall put up... the new song of the week! it's a pretty kick ass song, in fact i only found the RX Bandits about a year ago, but they're such a kick ass band! fucking rights! anyways! so here's the song of the week comming up!

RX Bandits - Overcome (The Recapitulation)

We've had enough
We've had enough
We've had enough of the politicians
We've had enough yeah
Of these politicians' wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love, come on
We've had enough of these politicians' wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these politicians' wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
All we need right now is love

Turn it up!
The future is held in the hands
(of those) Who right the textbooks
Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught
To the youth instead of
Past mistakes and mind elevation,
Like the graves that manifest destiny has created
So we can build our
Capitalist consumer based economy,
To build, market,
And sell commodities we don't need
But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging
Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope That you will all be with me

I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh,
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all singing together,
Ooooohhhhhh
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all singing together,
Ahhh,

I can't wait for the day
When I hear us all screaming,
HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.
When every race color
And creed of militant human beings stand up
With fists together for substance and true meaning
Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement
We're too caught up in
A material status quo punishment
And one thing is for sure
And that's the sun will always set,
Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite
So baby take an axe to your makeup kit
Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive
And strive for your desire
Just cause you can't see
Your cage doesn't mean that you are free
When there are laws against nature
But its ok for you to be
Addicted to over the counter prescriptions
And magazines that dictate all our human relations

I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
To a culture that objectifies all of our women
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
The apathetic dribble on the news media's chin
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
The lies that are sold through textbooks to children
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
Cause the positive will
Always overcome the negative right

And we stay inside, its right outside,
We stand in line
We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay
But I'm not giving in

WEEK #7
Blaaaaaaah! it's been now 3 weeks since I haven't put up a new song of the week (meaning I've missed two weeks when I was supposed to update). but now, back by popular demand(meaning Ryan keeps nagging me to do it so he has stuff to update to his website) the song of the week returns! my excuse...other than i'm lazy is that the past two sundays were christmas and new year's! i mean cmon! but yeah...also i didn't update because i posted a serious blog, but as usual people don't seem to want to read anything that questions what they're taught to believe by society. never questioning, you people suck. so in light of this, i believe the song of the week this week must be fitting of this. so without further ado, my song of the week update

Dag Nasty - Minority Of One

Look back on what they told you
and see what truth can't hide
the government controls you and brother that's not just a line
but don't trust them to tell you what is right
no one can tell you how to live your fucking life

question priorities
don't trust the majority
question priorities
don't trust the majority
even when you're a minority of one

now some will try to dictate and tell you what to say
they say that they control you but don't give yourself away
but don't trust them to tell you what to say
burn free and bright and walk your path today

question priorities
don't trust the majority
question priorities
don't trust the majority
even when you're a minority of one

Look back on what they told you
and see what truth can't hide
the world wants to control you and brother that's not just a line
but don't trust them to tell you what is right
no one can tell you how to live your fucking life

question priorities
don't trust the majority
question priorities
don't trust the majority
even when you're a minority
when you're a minority of one

I haven't written a comment at the end of a song since like the first song of the week I think but I just havta say, think for yourselves you fucking wankers! goddamnit!

WEEK #8
aight, well another week is over/beginning and all you hardcore fans of the song of the week are eager to see what crap-err.... excellent song lyrics i have to offer you so you can rejoice since your reason for existence still remains. I know, I know, a few of you might have gotten suicidal when I stopped updating for two weeks, but i'm back in business baby! so you can all relax and enjoy the cunning words i write for the pre-song of the week statement and pasionately read the magnificent lyrics i have to offer from bands that i listen to! so without further ado...i present my opening statement and reasons for choosing this song... Well, after continuously pestering Charlotte to comment on msn space day in and day out she FINALLY commented on one of my blogs, that blog being my Tsunami blog. So her comment inspired a bit of conversation and whatnot and that made me think of a song... a song which will be...THE SONG OF THE WEEK! so NOW without further ado...the song of the week!

Citizen Fish - Charity

As the Charity Department at the Treasury
Dispenses licenses so you can do one too
The etheopians are running out of weaponry
So their leaders stock it up instead of food
And charity begins at home
So get out on the streets
And help the refugees
And the manager of E.M.I. technology
Seems reluctant to discuss his business deals
Cos the weapon sales are paying for his meals
He'll go to withering heights
To keep it out of sight

Profit! Weaponry doesn't feed refugees
It's a hit! McCartney's saying please on T.V.'s royalties to feed the world with guns

Wembley Stadium forever on the video
And a million spent to raise that sixty more
Nothing ever quite as big as this before
And it broke our hearts
As it topped the charts

But when the overkill exploited the reality
We forgot the facts and revelled in the noise
We didn't see that while we had the voice
Companies and laws were pulling vocal chords

If the western world was less obsessed with proprety
And the need to keep it safe with threats of war
Then the third world wouldn't need a war economy
That we're supplying at a cost they can't afford
So we buy up all their crops and grain
And sell it back again
When there ain't no rain
And have a big campaign
Using famous names
And as the penny drops
Into the Oxfam box
Take off the V.A.T.
Then call it charity

And the public think the government is wonderful
For promoting our assistance to the poor
But their profits are a whole lot more
They create the need to feed the refugees
And delegate the guilty feeling to the public eye
Via pictures of starvation on T.V.
And get the public conscience back out on the streets
With the empty tins
And little flags on pins
Lets call it charity
Lets call it charity
Ha! Make it pay!

well! there it is! the song of the week for this week! read it and think people... of course if you're reading this you're probably Ryan laughing at the things that i'm writing soooooo.... Don't throw chickens at stones! mep mep! she-BOP!

WEEK #9
woot! alright well i missed a week again... but whatever, there's too many good songs for to choose from sometimes that i get frustrated, and then there's the fact that nobody reads them... so it's almost not worth the effort... but then again, i feel like doing it today so i will! alright well last week or whatnot my computer messed up as i was putting up the song of the week so i got uberly pissed and i didn't put up the song, i was gunna put the background music as the same as the one for the song of the week. so i should put that this week, but instead i'm putting a Leftover Crack song. I was talking with Ryan and this song popped into my head relating to the topic of conversation...soooo i'm putting it as the song of the week! i kinda don't want to because there are a good 4-5 songs from Leftover Crack that I also wanna put and I wanna make sure i put a song from every band before i start rotating...but that might take a while.... anyways! enough with the rambling and on with the Song of the Week!

Leftover Crack - Life is Pain

Fucking like bunnies; Breeding like rats
We're shitting out the babies and I'm telling you that that's
Mad against the better judgment in our human history
Take some time to think it over; It's not difficult to see
You can wait until you're older; Or you're in a better place
Just remember there's no winner in this fucked-up human race
I know you might be searching for some meaning on this earth
(But) Don't be stabbing nature in the back by giving into birth

You're too ugly and I'm too fat
What kind of seed are we to spawn with genetic cards like that?
Plus addiction and depression is just swimming in my cum
And we are weak and dumb

Fucking like bunnies; Breeding like rats
We're shitting out the babies and I'm telling you that that's
Mad against the better judgment in our human history
Take some time to think it over; It's not difficult to see

We're mostly runts and too high strung
In nature, mother eats the young
Who are we to breed?; Put away your seed
We can't evolve an iron-lung

And you're too ugly and I'm too fat
What kind of seed are we to spawn with genetic cards like that?
Plus addiction and depression is just swimmin' in my cum
And we are weak and dumb

Too many people on the way
World's growing smaller every day
As quantity grows, life quality goes
Our lives are sick and in decay

mep!

yeah, so i got your email with the last blog and i was like "8th blog? no way! this is the 9th, i remember getting the 8th last week because it had the title with the '8! not 8 factorial' ness!" then i came here, and realised that it WAS blog number 8. so i'm like riiiiiiight... then i go to geocities to update the blog, and it's already there! i'm like "jwa?!" and then i realised... YOU DIDN'T UPDATE THIS LAST WEEK WHEN YOU SENT ME THAT BLOG! so basically the point is that you have to keep to your schedule man! here are the reasons:

a) it can give us some pretty wanky discussion convos

b) you may get some random congrats like agodamongmeremortals' approval

c) you keep my website alive with this stuff!

anyway, i'm spending waaay too much time with this crap! gotta bounce and study fackin' calculus before i fail myself again! MEP le MEP!

lyk, omg, you got the stamp of approval! and not just ANY stamp of approval, but from agodamongmeremortals! do you know what that means!?

yeah, neither do i. however, here's MY comment on your blog!

firstly, the font is randomly too small... but that's ok, gotta love notepad! anyway, it's interesting to read this after listening to your views of birth and such. (now's when i throw in a bunch of crap about myself that no one will really care about) i must say, i hadn't given the whole idea much thought before. by that i mean i knew i didn't currently want a kid, so i figured i would leave the decision until "prime child making time". as of now, i have no reason to create that kind of a family when i'm older. however, i think it's safe to stick with my original plan and see what happens later! aaaanyway, commenting on the song itself... i like the reference to rabbits and rats (not just because of crack whore bunnies and horny german rats) and also the "addiction and depression is just swimmin' in my cum". that makes me tihnk of nature vs nurture argument. the problem with that is that nature and nurture (for a lot of cases) can be thought of as the same thing. specifically, if you're born and raised by your parents, than by nature you will be like them, AND by nurture because they have raised you with their beliefs etc.

anyway, i've got a calculus midterm tomorrow... and an assignment due at 2pm... so you damn well better appreciate my comment! haha, but yeah, i'll jwankya on msn about this at some point faux shizzle man! peace oot!!

Okay, first off, I'll tell you that this is a copied and pasted comment. Why? Because I like to read a lot of blogs and I'm not creative enough to come up with a unique one for each. Also, I'm quite lazy.

But then I started thinking about how I could make an ordinary copied and pasted comment meaningful. Then it hit me, I would only leave this comment on the best blogs, not all the lame ones.

So, if you are reading this on your space, congratulations! This comment is my stamp of approval, so to speak. Your blog represents the good things about MSN Spaces, and I hope you keep up the good work. Well, all the best,

Nathan

WEEK #10
Alright! well in light of the stupidity coming up in a few days I've decided to make the song reflect the theme of "Love". Now, at first I was thinking of putting up the song "Love is..." by the Subhumans about how "love" is tied to so much bullshit, lies and deception. In doing so, also reflecting my bitterness about the subject... but instead I chose a different path. I think it would be much better to inform people about the things to watch out for in relationships and to watch out for abuse (abuse is not only physical, it comes in a variety of forms, emotional, intellectual, monetary, etc.) and to help people understand the types of behaviour that they don't need to put up with. The song obviously doesn't deal wtih all of them, but it's still good. Alright, well I'll let you people read the song and then I'll continue with my half-rant. So without further ado! the song of the week!

SNFU (Society's No Fucking Use) - One Last Loveshove

guy:
Give me your shoes and them I'll lick
Give me your feet and them I'll kiss
Because I would never want to hurt you
And if I did, you know just what I'd do...

I'd throw myself off of a bridge
Toss myself off the highest cliff
Hang myself from the rafters above
Because I could not live without your love

When you drop your dress, I drop to my knees
You know me, so eager to please
Because I would never want you to hate me
And if you did, you know just what I'd do…

I'd throw myself off of a bridge
Toss myself off the highest cliff
Hang myself from the rafters above
Because I could not live without your love

girl:
But wait I just had a change of heart
I no longer need you to cater to my wants
You need care to make it work both ways
You are now free to go your own way…

guy:
I'd throw myself off of a bridge
Toss myself off the highest cliff
Hang myself from the rafters above
Because I could not live without your love
love love love love! love!

well there it is... the song of the week. I'd just like to say, nobody has to deal with guilt-tripping or anything else like that. Don't stay with someone just because they threaten to kill themselves. You should not make your own life miserable just to make someone else content. You cannot have a healthy relationship if there is not mutual respect. as the song says "You need care to make it work both ways". Don't put up with put-downs that make you feel belittled. Don't let anyone control who you are or what you do. Now this song talks about romantic relationships in particular but that doesn't mean that you could be faced wtih abuse in other places in your life. Nobody has the right to belittle you, make you feel worthless, or hurt you in any way; not your gf/bf, nor your friends, nor your parents. You do not need people like this in your life and you shouldn't let yourself get down because of these people. It is your life to live, no one else's.

ho ho hO! i like the message, it's very true and very real. i was expecting something dirtier (not in the sexual sense) from you around valentines day, but this is a very good choice instead. and i mean really, SNFU is just such a cool lookin' name! haha :P

keep up the wankiness brotha!

WEEK #11
yes! that's right! it's that time of the week again, time to rejoice as a new song of the week enters the archives of Martin's weekly song of the week! what song will be showcased this week? who knows! ....well i guess i'll havta know before this blog is over or else it kinda doesn't really work too well... and i guess you guys'll know if you read it... okay, well the point is: NEW SONG OF THE WEEK! now...what song to put... that's the real question... i have an idea... but not quite sure... alright well i think since i showcased a song about abuse last week i will continue with that theme (yes, i know from Mrs.MacGregor's english class that themes cannot be one word but rather must be a concept written in phrase or sentence form... but yeah!) so, this time i will put a song that speaks of a different type of abuse, so here we go! the new song of the week!

Dystopia - Diary of a Battered Child

Smack!
My head hits the wall
Don't know why this is happening to me
A role model for me in this world
"do as I say and not as I do"
Another slap across my face
Just to show me that you care
How can I fucking love you?
What love do you have to share?
None!
Someday theres gonna be hell to pay
For treating your son this way
You can't take my dignity
Without destroying your love for me
And you wonder why I hate your fucking guts
No time left for apologies
Fuck you
Grown apart from you
I'm told that I am stupid
You taught me all I know
That I'm so fucking worthless
And that my life's a joke
Curled up in a ball
Is how I spent my fucking life
I tremble in fear and I'm bloody
And I cant stop the tears from flooding my eyes
What have I done to deserve
The agony you call love
I got a broken arm and stitches
While other kids got kisses and hugs
Love / Abuse
Ever since I was born
I get them confused
You never cared
You never will
When I die
Don't come to my funeral

alright, well there it is! that's the song of the week... and i just have to say... no child has to put up with that bullshit, none at all... there are better ways to discipline a child than to hit them... that's all i have to say. good bye all and have a nice day/night!


Comments (1)

man, i really like the lyrics of this song!! for example:

"do as I say and not as I do"

"When I die
Don't come to my funeral "

the message is great, and by that i don't mean it's a good thing to do, but yeah you know what i mean. also, it's awesome how the lyrics are purple. they stick out nicely from the rest of the blog. i also noticed you haven't changed the song in here yet! not complaining though, weakerthans are really awesome.

haha i love how it's a deep song, and then you're like "have a good day/night everyone!" haha anyway, i gotta bounce now! so YOU have a good night!

~ RDawg! ~

PS just incase you forgot, you HAVE to put Black Screen of Death on here at some point man!

WEEK #12
mep! alright alright... this is tough... what shall be the song of the week for this week... I asked Ryan to choose between a few songs... but he based his decision on the fact that he thought the artist's name was cool... so I'm still undecided... okay fuck it! I'm gunna go with the song that I originally thought of putting up, this is the last song of the week for february so it works well... sorta... anyways! the song of le week!

State of Alert - Girl Problems

Call her on the phone
Oh shit she isn't home
And you never know
That she aint with somone else
You'd better say the right thing
She might think you're a fool
You've gotta lie through your teeth
To make her think you're cool

I don't need no girl problems
I've got troubles as it is
I don't need to waste my time
I don't need more shit

You lower your fucking pride
Cause you think she's what you need
You dont mind the pain
Or the way you always feel
It's just a fucking game
She's got you on a line
She'll throw your feelings through the wind
She's fuckin with your mind

I don't need no girl problems
I've got troubles as it is
I don't need to waste my time
I don't need more shit

alright! well there's the song of the week, now I know there are better songs for me to put up for the song of the week but I thought I should put this song up and make a mini-rant of it while i'm at it. Relationships are such a fucking waste of time! like hoddaimn! always having to worry what you're saying so you don't hurt the other person's feelings, bla bla bla, what should i say? am i talking too much? am i talking too little? what's going on? baaah fuck it all! it's just a bunch of mind games and bullshit. I'm not gunna change who I am just to make some chick happy, fuck it, I am who I am. ...Of course you actually can find happiness in a relationship... i think... but it seems nowadays that most people aren't looking for happiness, but rather just to have a relationship... yes it would be nice to find someone to date or whatever and be happy, but I'd rather not have a relationship at all then have to deal with mind games and bullshit; I've already got other problems to deal with in my life, i don't need something else on top of that. bah, people suck. aaaaanywho! i should make a more coherent blog of all that at some point but I'm not in the mood for it right now... so yes! that's it for of the song of the week! tune in next week for the 13th song of the week! Bey Bey every le one, take care and have a nice day!


Comments (5)

yES Charlotte!! nice comment!!! anyways, it was good to get your opinion about the song, and i totally get what you mean about when you said about how girls are sterotyped or whatever. like whenever i listen to certain songs i think "i wonder what a girl would think about this" or whatever. but some songs are just like that, there's other songs that have the girl's point of view in the song. in this particular case it's a (straight) male talking about (straight) teenage girls in general. it's a song about a guy that's fed up with stupid bitches. (obviously there are cool and smart girls out there who are worth the time to date and get to know) but yeah. okay i'm done defending this song. i really like the comments you (charlotte) and ryan have put up. i must agree with most of the things you guys have said. i still like this song though, lol, i guess i just look at it from a different point of view. oh well, i liked the controversy that was stirred up over this! ...unfortunately it wasn't over one of the blogs that was designed to stir up controversy... but at least this is something! thanks for commenting you guys! and Charlotte you also have balls!(metaphorically speaking!) fucking rights! aight, that's all, hope to see comments on my other stuff soon! :@ :P

Okay, I agree with a lot of the points that were made. But songs like this really tick me off inside. Well not songs but jsut messages portrayed. I'm really sick of females (in a relationship situation) are always stereotyped. Now Don't get me going about the guy but I'm just going to defend the females right now, cause well... actually no! Haha! I was about to say "cause I'm a female and I'd like to stand up for us" but then when you think about it, I stereotype females SOO much ... Okay I'm going to stand up for myself and those who are similar to myself. SCREW IT! you know what I mean...

I don't like the "I don't need girl problems" excccuuuse me I think it would be better put as relationship problems. Like who's to say that this guy's not fucked up himself! Anyways! Yes girls can be bitches but ... wait I'm going to link this commment to my next point.

Relationsips are not a waste of time unless someone were to date just for the sake of dating. But that doesn't mean a person has to find their "true love" while dating. I find it an experiance to learn more about other people, and learn about yourself. How you react to things, what you do and do not like, and you develop the way you look at things, and develop who you are. Someone might have a really bad time in a realtionship but everything is a learning experiance. And there are a lot of dumb girls (and boys) out there, but don't forget those who actually have a sense of what's going on. If you were to think about your frinedships and how your frineds are so unique and so understanding, there's others out there in the sea of stupidity that can actually have an impact on a person.

Having someone care for you at that level, even if the whole thing didn't work out. It's a boost of confidence for one thing, and everything you learn from it. Sure many problems can spawn from relationships but kinda like what Ryan said, it depends on how you handle it and how it will effect you. If someone is really unhappy with their girlfriend/boyfriend, then don't go through with it instead of continueing and building the pain.

There Martin I commented no more getting mad at me now ha ha

yes yes Ryan, i have to agree with you (partly anyways) about the first four lines thingy and that always having to know where someone is, is a little stalker-ish but yeah. okay this song (to me) isn't about bashing girls, it's about how relationships suck. also where you say "Rest of the song: who's problem is the lowering of pride? who's problem is the pain? as i said before, YOU are responsible for what you do with your life. don't blame your weakness and laziness on those who are taking advantage of it. DO something about it. if you don't have control of yourself, you are hopeless." that's the point the song IS making, that you (people in general) should take control of their own lives and not get sucked into mind games that lead nowhere. it's talking about (teen) relationships in general, not ones that are actually founded on trust and compassion. so yeah. basically i agree with most of what you say, and to me the song is a kind of social commentary on the the status quo of relationships and how it is not a good thing (mixed in with a bit of bitterness of course!). reread the song comparing the notes you took, it all fits in exactly with what you're saying, that's basically what it's commenting on... anyways... good fucking comment man! i like that finally SOMEONE has the balls to write a comment stating what they believe, not caring whether they offend me or not, fucking rights!

okaayyy many thoughts about this blog!

firstly, you bastard! haha, not putting up the song i schwanted! justin case you were wondering (haha i made a funny!) i was actually interested in Youth of the Modern World (i think that's what it was called?) but oh well, this song is causing some crazy thoughts!

okay, time to discuss! :D

alright, random thoughts first... if relationships are a waste of time, why purposefully waste your time complaining about them? that's just replacing one waste of time with another. get on with your life instead! ahh ok i have too many things to think about with respect to the song

COMMENTS ON THE SONG:

First 4 Lines:
are girls not allowed to have lives? you have to know where they are at all times? but you're allowed to go out whenever you want, because that's different. true, you don't know if she's with someone else. suggestion: don't spend your life worrying about what COULD happen. if it happens, it happens, and you deal with it. if you suspect something, deal with it, but otherwise don't be a stalker. let the other person live their life. if you are wanted as a significant part in it, then effort will be made.

Next 4 Lines:
ok, the decision to be with a girl like this is up to you. YOU decide whether or not you want to change yourself. if she has a problem with who you are, why are you dating? i view this as a desperate guy dating a girl for her physical and social advantages. it's up to YOU to be put in that situation, as it is up to YOU to stay in it. there are many many girls who fit into the description given by this song, but there are those who don't. JUST as there are many many guys who do things that are similarly and moreso ignorant. let's not stick to bashing women.

Rest of the song:
who's problem is the lowering of pride? who's problem is the pain? as i said before, YOU are responsible for what you do with your life. don't blame your weakness and laziness on those who are taking advantage of it. DO something about it. if you don't have control of yourself, you are hopeless.

bahh i've got way too many things going through my head. fackja, i gotta leave for some engineering meeting now so i'll h'wankyalaterjwanksta!

Ok, I completely agree with the relationship issue, but for once I'm going to be positive and say that if you find the right person, they won't want you to change and will love you for who you are. lats.

WEEK #13
Well well well, this operation has been going for 13 weeks now! (well more actually since I've skipped a couple of weeks of putting up songs for various different reasons) incredible! who would have thought I would have made it this far?! I know I wouldn't! I woulda been sure I'd have quit after like 2 weeks, actually a lot of credit is due to Rayn for pushing me to continue the song of the week so that he would have something to put up on his website every week, kudos to him! if it weren't for him I'd never get any comments on the songs and I probably would have discontinued the song of the week due to lack of interest, but it keeps on going strong! so, in honour of the 13th song of the week (13 being my favourite number, because even I am just as stupid as anyone else in believing that a certain number could posssibly be better than any other number... actually, that's not true, I just like 13 because it tends to be "bad luck" for most people ) aaanyways! in honour of the 13th song of the week I've decided to treat you, my loyal viewers, with a song that I've written! , yes, in spite of the fact that I said I WOULDN'T be putting up any songs written by me in my first song of the week blog, i'm breaking my own promise to bring to you a song written by yours truly. still haven't figure out exactly which one... but we shall see ... I know Ryan would like me to put "Black Screen of Death" but that's not really a lyrical piece of art... well actually it's pretty ingenious, but that's not why it's great, it's great because I recorded myself singing it! In fact, if you wish to hear it, you can find it at Ryan's website! http://www.geocities.com/conscious_matter/Funnies.html there! go check it out now! there's plenty of AWESOME stuff you should check out there! anyways! hmmm, well I've got a few in mind... Tribute to Atheism is pretty good... but I wanna keep my blogs free of too much religiosity (if that even is a word). people are free to have their own beliefs as long as they're not hurting other people. let's see... i've got plenty of depressing songs, but i wanna put something (relatively) positive, there's plenty of time later for me to put up depressing songs. so that leaves me with a few politically charged songs (these range greatly from straight-forwardly political to socio-political, which a lot of people don't really consider political songs...) and a few other random songs... alright, well I was considering Social Suicide and Slaves to the Masses, but they're slightly on the long side and since you wankers tend to have the attention span of about 5 seconds I can safely expect not many people would have read it (not like many are going to read this anyways, lol) alright! well I have zee song of the week! and without further ado...actually, I just changed my mind... actually no... baaaah, okay, I've got a song, I like it, but I wanna say beforehand, it's not my best lyrically... not my worst either... but I have written better (in my opinion anyways) so yeah! NOW without further ado! the song of the week!

Martin Gomez-Riviere - Sometimes You Just Gotta...

Sometimes you gotta be down to know what it’s like to be up
Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom to be able to cheer up
Sometimes you gotta lose everything to appreciate what you’ve got
Sometimes you gotta give just a little bit more when you think you’ve given it all you got

Life’s tough, life’s a bitch
You can’t get through without a hitch
You gotta keep fighting and give it all you can
Life is too complex and short to make a plan
Just make the most of your time the best you can

Sometimes you gotta keep walking when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel
Sometimes you gotta keep fighting when it seems you’re being ganged up and pummeled
Sometimes you gotta take the long and hard road when the easy path is right around the corner
Sometimes you gotta live through winters to remember the glory of summer

I know it’s hard to keep going and push yourself through
But sometimes it’s the only thing left to do
Just when it seems like all hope is lost
Just when it seems there’s no line to cross
Just when it seems like there’s nothing left to do
Just when it seems like you’re absolutely screwed
You find that what you really needed was right in front of you

anyways! so yeah! that's the song of the week! some background information... that song was written in august of 2004, which was the summer after grade 11 and before grade 12. I really like this song, it always inspires me whenever I'm down, cuz I can read it and remember, it is possible for me to be happy and I just gotta work at it and take it easy and not stress myself out. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, please comment, I would like to hear your opinions on my song, if there's anything that I should improve, or to tell me that it's awesome, or to tell me that it sucks, whatever, just leave a comment expressing what you think about it. Anyways! this concludes another episode of "The Song of the Week"! See you next week folks! Take care, have a nice day everyone!

DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SQUIRREL TO YOU?!?

yeah, just had to get that out of my system. and hey hey, look at this, i'm commenting on your song of the week! and i'm NOT online! in fact, i'm not even appear offline! my msn isn't working, but i typed in your blog url from memory JUST to read the song of the week. see the dedication?

first off i'd like to say it's awesome that you put one of your own songs up to be criticized and picked at (possibly again... mm no actually i don't think this song was in the daily dawg... haha) it isn't black screen of death... but i like the link haha. i still think you have to put those lyrics up somewhere... not necessarily in a song of the week blog.

OK holy scheisse enough rambling there rayn! onto the song!!

h'ok, so i can't remember the last time i read one of your songs... but i DO remember most of them weren't as flowing as this one haha. it reads übernicely (wtf? me using über??) also, it's weird to see you writing something with such a positive message. it's really good though. lyrics kick ass. very true. i read a quote somewhere - in fact it might be in my hallway on the quote board... brb...

"only those who are willing to risk going too far can possibly know how far they can go"

so overall, i like the written aspect of this song. definitely would like to see what happens if you tried to add music to it. i'll pitch in your mo-ney!

~ RDawg! ~

PS you know damn right i posted the 12th song of the week last night!
