Kelly Might Be a Little Bitter

Here are the lyrics to the first song off of Kelly Clarkson's new album, My December. I don't know about you, but she seems a little bitter. What do you think?

(It isn't that good.)

Never Again

I hope the ring you gave to her
Turns her finger green
I hope when you’re in bed with her
you think of me
I would never wish bad things
But I don’t wish you well
Could you tell
By the flames that burned your words
I never read your letter
Cause I knew what you’d say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try make it all okay

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
bet it sucks
to see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
you knew
exactly what you would do
And don’t say
You simply lost your way
She may believe you
But I never will
Never again


If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife Oh, how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
And he’s through with you
And he’ll be through with you
You’ll die together, but alone
You wrote me in a letter
You couldn’t say it right to my face
Well, give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

Brand New - Milestone

Milestone

I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared for.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.
I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my Father's work.

Well Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
My own around my neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray a God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed.
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

Throw me that lifeline,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
My own stone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Never hit the brakes
There's no time to save him,
He's run out in the street
Anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
(Sure it's him?)
He's made from our mistakes

So take me out tonight.
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
My own stone around my neck.
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I haven't heard this song, or any of Brand New's songs for that matter. I will find some tonight. But these lyrics are powerful. Unfortunately, this song reminded me of some friends of mine.

Bright Eyes: 'Make a Plan to Love Me'

I think that these are potent lyrics.

I heard you're scheming new pyramids
Another big idea to get you rich
Make a plan to love me sometime soon

You said you had your foot in the door
You buy and you sell, you buy some more
Make a plan to love me sometime soon

Life is too short
Death doesn't ask
It don't owe you that

Some things you lose
You don't get back
So just know what you have

And make a plan to love me sometime soon

Life is too short
To be a fool
I don't owe you that

Do what you feel
Whatever is cool
But I just have to ask

First you want to ride off into the Sun
Then you want to shoot straight to the Moon
Make a plan to love me sometime soon

When you are young the world is a Ferris Wheer
I know we will grow old it is lovely, still
Make a plan to love me sometime soon

Will you make a plan to love me?
Will you make a plan to love me?
Will you make a plan to love me sometime soon?

Hillsong United: All of the Above

This is the new United album that is coming out in a few weeks. It is pretty rockin'! This is their first attempt at a studio album. Honestly, I figured that it would fall flat in terms of passion. However, they proved me incorrect. It is passionate and driving. The song list is strong. My personal favorites are # 4 and 14.

Tracks:

1. Point of Difference
2. Break Free
3. Desperate People
4. Devotion
5. Draw Me Closer
6. Lead Me To The Cross
7. Found
8. Hosanna
9. For All Who Are To Come
10. Solution
11. My Future Decided
12. Never Let Me Go
13. You
14. Saviour King

Ragamuffinsoul also has a copy.
Rich Kirkpatrick is jealous.

Muse: Starlight

This song has been in my head all morning. I love the lyrics.

Far away

This ship is taking me far away

Far away from the memories

Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight

I will be chasing the starlight

Until the end of my life

I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms

I just wanted to hold

You in my arms

My life

You electrify my life

Let’s conspire to re-ignite

All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I’ll never let you go

If you promised not to fade away

Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations

Black holes and revelations

Our hopes and expectations

Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms

I just wanted to hold

You in my arms

Far away

This ship is taking me far away

Far away from the memories

Of people who care if I live or die

And I’ll never let you go

If you promise not to fade away

Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations

Black holes and revelations

Our hopes and expectations

Black holes and revelations

Fix You - Moving Experience

We always think of moving musical experiences as done by young bands. Check this out.

Here is the youtube description:

This is from a documentary shown on Channel 4 in the UK called 'Young@Heart'; the name of the New England octogenarian chorus line. The performer here is Fred Knittle, who suffers from congestive heart failure. This song was intended to be a duet between Fred and another chorus member, Bob Salvini. Sadly, Bob died of a heart attack and it was left to Fred to carry the song on his own. If I'm correct, the people you see crying at 01:13 are Bob's family. The lady you occasionally see mouthing the lyrics in the audience is Fred's wife.

There were some very touching scenes where we see Fred rehearsing alone soon after Bob's death. It was an incredible film.
