I’m back!!!!!

This week song of the week is “Creator” by Santogold from the Album Santogold.

Enjoy!

Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me, no, I say, yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion

Can’t say it’s gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Sit tight I know what you are
Mad bright but you ain’t no star
Polish up ’til you make it gleam
Your M.O, I know what you mean

Tail ridin’ and I know it’s true
While they screamin’, I love you
Down deep you know there ain’t no flow
A soul decay, was D.O.A

I know what you here for now
Words out you’re an idea whore though
Now don’t you crush on me
I’ll see you in your pipe dreams

Whether or not you know it’s true
You’re who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
Fakin’ what you wish you had

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Here all the folks come ask about me
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
You should heed the warning, get a body guard

Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin’ in just like an itch
So far I got the last laugh
Still the rich rise up, still I live fast

Wouldn’t know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste

All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
On the grind ’til the gig is up
I’ma smash ‘em down
Put a muzzle on them like, “What”

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

Me, I’m a creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar

Me, I’m a taker
Know what the stakes are
Can’t roll it back, it’s understood
Got to play our cards

This week song of the week is “Hide and Seek” a.k.a “Whatcha say” Although there’s has been many versions of this song the original song is by Imogen Heap but the version that I’m putting up is a remix by Dj AfroJack.

Enjoy!

But just incase you would like to hear the original here it is:

Lyrics to original song:

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can’t be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won’t catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it’s all for the best?
of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it’s just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no I don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
you don’t care a bit,
you don’t care a (you don’t care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
oh no, you don’t care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit
you don’t care a bit

This week song is “Big Jet Plane” by Angus and Julia Stone

She said “hello mister, please to meet ya”
I wanna hold her, I wanna kiss her
She smelled of daisies, smelled of daisies
She drive me crazy, drive me crazy

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Hey hey

Be my lover, my lady river
Can I take ya, take ya higher

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Hey hey

Gonna hold ya, gonna kiss ya in my arms
Gonna take ya away from harm
Gonna hold ya, gonna kiss ya in my arms
Gonna take ya away from harm

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Hey hey

This week song of the week is  “That I do” by Wye Oak

Here is the remix version of this song featuring Mickey Free :

I wish you didn’t need it anymore.

I understand exactly what you use it for.

And better isn’t always doing well.

I know because I’m better now myself.

And it’s true, I need it to, but not the way that you.

I wish I didn’t love you quite as much.

The reason that we never took another touch

Is the same reason that I could never have done enough

To show that you never needed to earn my love.

And it’s true you love me too, but not the way that I do.

I wish I didn’t hold you to your word

It knotted undecidedly, all undeserved

And never discovered when to stop.

The giant made of stone came down on every touch

You see it’s true I lie to you but not as well as you do.

And it’s true I need it too, but not the way that you do.

This week song is “Wheelpusher” by Anny Rossi…

Enjoy!)

to be a beekeeper
in the himalayas
they’d sting me in the knee
and make ‘em weak like paper
but of all the men immune
i’d collapse in pain at his gathering

nomadic wheelpusher
you make me shift and sway
nomadic wheelpusher
you are influenced by the bees
who migrate
who migrate their mama miles away
to california
out of denver

to find a beekeeper who puts up with the stinger
he’d whistle “lightly row”
and be numb in the fingers
but of all the men immune
he would stand in pain at his gathering

nomadic wheelpusher
you make me shift and swing
nomadic wheelpusher
you are influenced by the bees
who migrate
who migrate their mama miles away

This week song is a new favorite of mine “If We Ever Meet Again”, by Timbaland Feat. Katy Perry.

Enjoy!)

Or if you happen to like a little faster version:

What’s somebody like you, doin in a place like this?
Say, did you come alone, or did you bring all your friends?
Say, what’s your name, what you drinking
I think I know what you’re thinking
Baby what’s your sign, tell me yours I’ll tell you mine
Say, what’s somebody like you doing in a place like this?
(1, 2, 3, 4)

CHORUS:
I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

Say if we ever meet again

Do you come here much? I swear I’ve seen your face before (before, yeah)
Hope you don’t see me blush, but I can’t help but want you more, more
Baby tell me what’s your story
I ain’t shy, don’t you worry
I’m flirtin with my eyes, wanna leave with you tonight
So do you come here much, I gotta see your face some more, some more

Cuz baby

CHORUS:
I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

If we ever meet again
I’ll have so much more to say (if we ever meet again)

If we ever meet again
I won’t let you go away (said if we ever meet again)

If we ever ever meet again
I’ll have so much more to say (say if we ever meet again)

If we ever ever meet again
I won’t let you go away

CHORUS:
I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

I’ll never be the same – if we ever meet again
Won’t let you get away – said if we ever meet again
This free fall’s, got me so
Kiss me all night, don’t ever let me go
I’ll never be the same
If we ever meet again

This week song is, “Those Days”, by Peasant

Yes i know

yeah i know what i should say

and ive been

yeah ive been around this way

should we go?

well id rather go than stay

make it feel like yesterday

you were my lover

and now just another

when you were my other

you left me a lover

those days are gone

dont you know

don’t you know thats how it goes

well I feel

well I feel bad for you but I dont

cause its stupid and I wont

and I never should have known

you were my lover

And now just another

you were my other but I gave up on you

I dont know

who you think we are

you cant miss this nearly healing scar

I dont care  cause I will stare right through you

well you were my lover

but now just another

and you were my other

you left me a lover

Those days are gone

This week song is “New Romantic” by Laura Marling

I know I said I loved you but I’m thinking I was wrong,
I’m the first to admit that I’m still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
but a guy that I could never get ’cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
and I made you leave her for me and now I’m feeling pretty mean,
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,
give up trying to be thin,
give up and turn into my mother,
god knows I love her.

and I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
I would never love a man ’cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can’t do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
but I couldn’t get into his head just what was going through my mind,
and I think he knew where I was going
he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak
it only ever makes me strong.
I’ve got this friend who sounds just like him,
now he’s the man I’d leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.
The same man, he turns to me he said I’ve got to tell you how i feel,

if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you
and my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella?”
I don’t know more everyday
not in this new romantic way.

I’ll always be your first love, you’ll always be my first love.

And I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware,
I will never love a man ’cause I could never hurt a man in this way.
I will never love a man cause I could never hurt a man, not in this new romantic way.

It’s empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you’ve left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I’ll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker’s hand

So make your siren’s call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it’s meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways

I’ll know my name as it’s called again.

“So here we are”, by Bloc Party

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home… home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again
