Listened to a podcast on them and it reminded me why they're one of my fave bands. Brock has a great way with lyrics. This might be the only film clip to make cry; really simple, but devastatingly heart-breaking at the same time:

I'm on my way to God, don't know or even care
My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs

Inland from Vancouver shore, the ravens and the seagulls
Push each other inward and outward

In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo

We tore one down and erected another there
The match of the century, absence versus thin air

In this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
The days go so slow

@hotelbeneathground do you want me to turn ghey for you? Cos that's how I'mma turn ghey for you. This is one of my fave older MM songs. I especially dig:
In this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
The days go so slow


I feel that ensapsulates adult life in the 9 to 5 daily grind. Always thought it would be good for a montage depicting the grind.

If you have Spotify and dig Modest Mouse check out this podcast

Finding dads vinyls, most of them are trashed, but...



This was such a cool song when I was about 7 or 8...

I really love Belle and Sebastian. They're my favorite band, and I really enjoy Beirut and Death Cab for cutie. I mainly like their older stuff, though. I'm also really in to happy hardcore, psytrance, hardcore, jungle, DnB, and french house

Belle & Sebastian are great but I only listen to first 2 records. I like them when hungover. Do you like The Decemeberists? We have an electronic music thread, too.

Just make me fucking numb―Deaf, blind and fucking dumb―Return to sacred sleep
This could be my requiem, and I'll feel no pain―This could be my requiem, but don't bury me too deep

This may have been posted before but I wanted to post the Piano Version with the original.

Sixx A.M.-Life Is Beautiful :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:







"Life Is Beautiful"

You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don't
I've done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Alive...
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I wasn't aware of Take That doing How Deep Is Your Love. I think Relight My Fire I have heard before... It may have been posted in a music thread before, I'm not sure.
I do remember their song Back For Good... Reminds me of an ex gf.

Code Orange-Out For Blood :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:




"Out For Blood"

Check, check

War for progress
Another backstab to reverse the process
Fold under pressure
We break bread and play pretend
It makes me sick
War for the airwaves
I look around and ain't shit worth saving
We're so far from the future
Moving fast and moving backwards
Moving backwards

(Out for blood)
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through
(Out for blood)
Do it like I told you to
I wanna get inside your flesh machine
(Out for blood)
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through
(Out for blood)
Do it like I told you to
Because now we're out for blood

You were
I am
We break bread and play pretend
That's how the story begins

Hands tied
I'm foaming from the mouth
Ask me if I'm human
Barely
This is the top of the food chain, baby
After tonight we'll both be history

(Out for blood)
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through
(Out for blood)
Do it like I told you to
I wanna get inside your flesh machine
(Out for blood)
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through
(Out for blood)
Do it like I told you to
Because now we're out for blood

You were
Motherfucker, I am
We break bread and play pretend
That's how the story begins

You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through

(Out for blood)
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through
(Out for blood)
Do it like I told you to
I wanna get inside your flesh machine
(Out for blood)
You know what you wanna do
You know what you wanna do
Twist the knife and stick it through
(Out for blood)
Do it like I told you to
Because now we're out for blood

You were
Motherfucker, I am
So don't pretend we can connect
I'm motherfucking possessed

☆♤♡◇♧☆♤♡◇♧☆♤♡◇♧☆♤♡◇♧☆♤♡◇♧☆♤♡◇♧



The Labyrinth Song...
Evening rises, darkness threatens to engulf us all

But there's a moon above it's shining and I think I hear a call
It's just a whisper through the trees, my ears can hardly make it out
But I can hear it in my heart, vibrating strong as if she shouts
Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my head
I came here like you asked, I killed the beast, that part of me is dead
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my head
If only I'd have listened to you when you offered me that thread

Everything is quiet and I'm not exactly sure
If it really was your voice I heard or maybe it's a door
That's closing up some hero's back, on his track to be a man
Can it be that all us heroes have a path but not a plan?
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
I wish I had that string, it's so damn dark, I think I'm going blind

Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
For the life of me I don't remember what I came to find
Now tell me princess are you strolling through your sacred grove?
And is the moon still shining? You're the only thing I'm thinking of
The sword you gave me, it was heavy, I just had to lay it down
It's funny how defenseless I can feel here when there's nobody around

Oh Ariadne, I'm coming, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
I was blind, I thought you'd bind me, but you offered me a chart
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
If I'd known that you could guide me, I'd have listened from the start
Somewhere up there there midnight strikes, I think I hear the fall
Of little drops of water, magnified against the barren wall
It's more a feeling than a substance, but there's nobody around
And when I'm in here all alone, it's just enough to let me drown
Oh Ariadne, I was coming, but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and we'll make each other last
Oh Ariadne, I have failed you in this labyrinth of my past

Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and we'll make each other last

Scorpions-Still Loving You ❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔







"Still Loving You"
("Love At First Sting" Version)

Time, it needs time to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

Fight, babe, I'll fight to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there

If we go again all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again? I'm loving you

Try, baby, try to trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again?

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know what you've been through
You should give me a chance, this can't be the end

I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I need your love
I'm still loving you

Still loving you, baby

Still loving you
I need your love
Still loving you
I need your love, oh
Still loving you
I need your love, oh
I need your love
I need your love...

Lloyd Cole & the Commotions :: My Bag



Hey I was walking my bag
Through a 20 storey non stop snow storm
Pirrelli calender girls wrestling in body lotion
My head's swimming with poetry and prose
Excuse me one moment whilst I powder my nose
Me and my good thing are just about as close as can be
We gave up sleep at the age of 17
My world's getting bigger as my eyesight gets worse
I can't see the lines on my idiot board
What about love?
I don't let that stuff in my house
This is the glamorous life there's no time for fooling around
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?
Hundred million dollar jam
Got some traffic yessir in my nose
Motorcycle speed cops burning up my dust roads
My baby left me heck ain't that a shame
She's over in the corner with my new best friend
I'm doing fine with my whisky and wine
And meet me in the john john meet me in the john john
Lord have mercy
... What's your bag?
Spin spin whisky and gin I suffer for my art
Bartender I got wild mushrooms growing in my yard
Fix me a quart of petrol clams on the half shell
Feels like prohibition baby give me the hard sell
More give me more give me more more more
I'm your yes man yes maam I'm your yes man

Lord have mercy...
