For a year



This record has been on and off so many times this past year, Black Keys - Attack & Release, and so it is tonight. I think it is the best record they've made this far. The tracks has followed me through so many states of mind ive been in now.

Here follows two of their songs...


Went around the way for you
Did all the things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
To see just open love to say

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kinda overgrown
And all those happy times are gone

But it doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be


You're just like time
Except you can feel the shame
All hands on deck, now
The sea is getting rough again
You see me out your window
Even when you close the blinds
And all you ever wanted
Was someone to treat you
Nice and kind

Take a step before running
Take a breath now before you die
When you work the streets, darlin'
Make sure
Your sneaker laces they get tied
I'll be your black bird darlin'
Hanging on your telephone wire
Flap my wings, oh yeah
And set your heart to fly

in the night with study books and wonderful Nina Simone

i just love Nina so much, her own songs, her covers. Such an amazing voice, such a performance, such feeling and soul. and the lyrics in all these songs, so reflecting on feelings of my own both now and then and sometimes. Dr. Nina Simone, may her soul rest in peace and may her songs forever spread their greatness on this earth Like a flower waiting to bloom
like a light bulb in a dark room
I am sitting here waiting for you to come home and turn me on
like the desert waiting for rain
like a school kid waiting for spring
I am sitting here waiting for you to come back home and turn me on
My poor heart, it's been so dark
since you've been gone
after all you're the one who turned me off
now you're the only one that can turn me back on
uh
my hi-fi's waiting for a new tube
and my glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on
back home and turn me on.



Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I die a little,
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little,
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
They think so little of me
They allow you to go.
Oh oh oh when you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer,
But how strange the change
From major to minor...
Ev'ry time
Ev'ry time
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
