(Part2)..plz scroll down read the first part first!

*..continuation

Foundations-Kate Nash
In her sweet brit accent she casually starts describing her crumbing relationship with her lover. Ridiculing each other infront of people, winding each other up..te end of a relationship but theyr both still hanging onto something..they fight like crazy but dont want to let go of one another-"my fingertips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation..and i know that i should let go but i cant.." and she sings it all without so much as raising her pitch- i mean maybe kelly clarkson or carrie underwood could learn a thing or two from her..that you dont have to rip car seats and shout out teh lyrics to get a point through!
(if you havnt heard it, download it-its brilliant)

I tried to do handstands for you-Chairlift
i think i mentioned this one in another post, sicne its a new fav of mine lately! i must admit i get a bit obsessed..this one is interesting because at first i thought it was about a girlfriend bending over backwards to please her man n he wasnt acknowleging her.."im permanently black and blue..for you"..and witht he cooing and sweet bass in teh background, i thought what a lovely song, this could be my status one day..AND THEN he sang.."I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruisy knees.. I got bruises on my knees for you And grass stains on my knees for you.." hahaha cmon you didnt think what i thought? well all i can say is its teh sweetest song about sex iv come across..not dirty at all, since they neevr mention the three letter dirty word haha and they even include strawberries in the mix so its love and games and SO not dirty! i love it! who knows i might still make it my status ;)
(Download it trust me its a Great song!)

Sweet Disposition-The Temper Trap
"..a moment, a love, a dream, aloud, a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs, a moment, a love.."
Its actually one of the most straightforward and simple to understand songs on my list..and my early sweeping statements about not liking simple song..sorry :s but this song is beautiful..its cue in the movie trailer of '500 days of Summer' just makes the movie seem just dreamy and beautiful.
the song(combined with the lyrics) perfectly describe a relationship..and quite frankly made me want to watch the movie..which i saw and fell in love with too!
so it made me watch the movie and made me feel little tingling feelings in my stomach everytime i heard it..
sweeeeeet. i want that. all of it. NOW!

Honerable mention:
Mushaboom-Feist
if you havnt heard this song please download it-infact download all these songs..it will not dissapoint trust me.
now this song..i havnt really figured it out as yet, will have to probably google it coz im confused..but the song is great, gives me a sense of a song about two people growing old together and about everyday little things that normally one would look past as everyday happenings, but actually are milestones or memories. And thats some deep stuff right there, warm and deep. Read the lyrics and you will know what im talking about/feeling.
*dont know what a mushaboom is..but i like the word!

So far thats all i got..

Mushaboom about nothing..!
(good closing line??-doesnt make any sense-but then thats the purpose of alll of this)

More lyrics..Loving it?!!! (Part1)

*off topic but id like to dedicate this one to a friend 'Z'.. may we always listen to good music, fine wine and GREAT discussions-in that order ;) -please read it and dont tell me you dont think like me too..coz i know you do!

SO this post will consist of..songs that sound sooo sweeet with the ukelele and light bongo's playing in the background make you feel like your sitting by a camp fire on a beach watching the sunset while Jason mraz and Colbie calait are singing a soft tune...but when you listen closely you realize..theyr actually very subtly singing about some really woah big/touchy topics like sex, relationships, kinkyness etc. and not just about a girl squeeling "the party dont start till i walk in." *(although i kinda like that song too)

I'm a lyrics-lover (if that's a word-or two)
more then the music i LOVE lyrics..they have this weird effect on me..some 'Greats' can even make my stomach do swirls..and that doesn't happen often!

Let me start by saying that I'm not a big fan of songs that tell you EXACTLY what they mean in their lyrics.. i like thinking, coming up with my own conclusions, and often even hearing other peoples interpretations.
i mean i know Taylor swift is awesome, blah blah, girl with a guitar writes about everything that happens in her life, blah blah..her next song titles will consist of 'my butt itches.." and "today a mosquito flew by me "

Instead i like songs like..
Bad Romance- Lady Gaga
Im a big fan of the Gaga..shes highly entertaining(no matter what anybody says) and this song, may not have the ukelele and bongo's but in between all her "rarara's" and her "roma roma" ga ga gaa's...shes actually talking about a relationship thats not perfect, but she wants to know about every aspect of her lover's life , good and bad! its sweet, in a Gaga way!
-or then im losing it and reading too much into it and what she really wants is a bad boy! i could live with that too..

Crash into me- Dave Mathews
Seriously anyone who's heard this song thinks about sex, instantly..."come crash into me, and i come into you..in a boys dream" but its slightly deeper then that..he loves this girl so much that he thinks shes perfect in every way "Sweet, like candy to my soul" and he fell in love with her without really knowing her too well..almost prematurly, "If iv gone overboard..forgive me In my haste"
but its mostly about him fantasizing about doing her-in a nutshell!

Closer-Kings of Leon
they have got to be one of the best bands to come out of the last decade! The Vocals that quite honestly give me goosebumps and lyrics that are so deep and broody...ooohh i LOVE everything about them!
This particular song i chose because i heard somewhere that its about the love between a human and a vampire-please before you start judging me thinking im going to talk about twilight and true blood-please dont! i dont liek either-they have commercialized something that was mythically epic and sacred-it hurts.
-The song..beautifully depicts the love for a (human) girl that a vampire feels.."driven by the strangle of veins..you keep on crying, ill bleed you dry" and "..200 years of chasing taking its toll"

*...continued in next post!
