Top 5 Songs! (Week Starting 25/05/09)

OK, I do have a good reason as to why I didn't post this on Friday, as I always should. I kind of thought it was Thursday and was thinking "what to post tomorrow..." all day. In fact, I only realized it was Saturday when I started posting and looked at the date in the corner of my screen. It's been a long, fantastic week (more about it all another time) and I lose track of days easily :p

So, here we are again. Another week, another 5 songs for you guys.

5. Emergency - Paramore

I found this during one of my paranoid moments with me sprawled across the computer desk with my earphones on. Sort of the first time the lyrics got through to me. It's a good song and it's come sixth a few times on my "top 5" list, but here it is, gloriously in fifth :p

Good Lyrics: "I've seen love die way too many times, when it deserves to be alive"

4. Keep On - Lightweight Holiday

This was one of the songs that hit me on my London day, it came on while i was standing at the Watford Junction platform, it kind of makes sense to me, so here it is!

Good Lyrics: "I'll take your word
You've fallen for him
(I guess that was selfish of me)
And oh by the way
What would you say
To you bein' mine someday"

"I'll drive for hours to your house
I know your inside thinking of me
For hours away"

"I wrote this song to communicate
When your locked in the trunk with your mouth taped shut
You're making it hard
to scream
You're making it hard
to leave"

3. Welcome To Oblivion - Madina Lake

My other London song. I was so tempted to put this song higher up, because I do love it, and you'll probably find it on this list again sometime. As always with Madina Lake, it's about lyrics, and the way they practically shape the tune around them. It's amazing.

Good Lyrics: "(Chorus)
Welcome to oblivion
Where panic starts to settle in
And I'm afraid of everything
Oh, I lost my head again
Welcome to oblivion
Where my whole life is caving in
And I can't stand who I am
Oh, I think I'm losing it
I lost my head again"

"Then I met you
You were standing all alone, because you felt it too
The world has broken you down
You and me are gonna make it through
Because now we know there's people like us"

2. The New Black - Every Time I Die

I listen to my music at night, and I think this song's played every night this week, and I like it. Interesting tune, pretty cool lyrics. It's been a contender for weeks.

Good lyrics: "Don't you know who I am? I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities"
"If everything I do is wrong, Then by God I do it right"
"If loving me is wrong, then God damn you do it right,"
"It turns us on to turn you down"

1. The Rumour - You Me At Six

I have a feeling that so far, You Me At Six are the only band to top my list twice, congrats :p I'm not really sure where it came from, but this week was the first time i really listened to the lyrics, and they made sense. It was the other song I heard during my paranoid moment, kinda sorted me out.

"Well I am the cancer running through your veins
I am the sweat dripping down the side of your face
I am the pain in the back of your legs, it makes you fall to you knees it makes you believe
And I am the headline, that's going to make front page news
I am that fashion that you're all into.

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.

I am that feeling, that you've done something wrong.
I am that friend , who knew all along.
We say we have our best friends yet we stab them in the back.
We try to show some love and , it's a skill that we lack.
I've had it with this crowd and I am done with this town.
I've had enough of these shows, its over with you now.

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.

Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care (x2)

Hold your hands in, into the air
Oh hold on

Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care (x6)

Josh

Behind your back, they talk about you all the time
Behind your back, they spread some shit, spread some lies"
