A song about temptation and waiting for the perfect man. The new single for the yet released The Killers sophmore album. I’m looking forward to this, it will be hard to beat their first, but if the whole thing is anything like this single, it should be a good album.

~david maciasYou sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now – here he comes

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don’t know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let’s take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

We’re burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil’s water, it ain’t so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young

I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But more than you’ll ever know

So, I saw 30 Seconds to Mars about 3-4 years ago. They were doing small shows promoting their first album in Houston. Good times and I got a chance to meet the band. Most should know that Jerod Letto is the lead singer and he has been on a few films, specifically on Requiem for a Dream. If you’re not watched RfaD you should.

Another song about relationships, I seem to gravitate towards those. Regardless, great song. In tune with many other songs I’ve posted before. Therefore, I will leave the interpretation to you.

Regards,

What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn’t take all this anymore
What would you do?

Come break me down
marry me, bury me
I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for
I’m not running from you

Come break me down
bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You’re killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance
I know now, this is who I really am

Come break me down
bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You’re killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
Come, break me down
Break me down
Break me down

What if I wanted to break…?
What if I…
What if I…

If you’ve never heard of Blue October or seen them in concert you’re missing out. This band is originally from Houston and they have a huge following in Texas. I’ve been to maybe 5 Blue October concerts and they have all been great.

Now, this song could have two interpretations. One of a son who’s given his mom a heal of a time and now regrets all the trouble he has caused. The other could be of a girlfriend who was mistreated along the way.

Either way, great song, lots of meaning.

If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming, if you’re dreaming are you dreaming of me? I can’t believe you actually miss me…

Hi Justin! This is your mother it is 2:33 on Monday afternoon. I was just calling to see how you were doing. You sounded really uptight last night, it made me a little nervous, and a little, well it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous too. I just want to make sure you are really okay and wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication too. You know I love ya. Take care honey, I know you’re under a lot of pressure. See ya. Bye Bye!

I have to block out thoughts of you, so i don’t loose my head
They crawl in like a *censored*roach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There’s a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months, it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so *censored*ing far away that I’ll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling make it go away,
Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

Hey Justin! x12+

So after 4 years RHCP will be releasing a new album, the first track Dani California sounds sweet and the video is hilarious. After 5 years or so TOOL will be releasing their next album 10,000 Days. I loved their last one and I’m pumped about this one. Finally, Pearl Jam will also be releasing an album, not sure how long it has been since their last one, but I think it has not been that long. Seems like we might have a good music year on our hands, because with new albums come tours!

Now I had lost this CD, actually I’ve lost two copies of this same CD and have come to possesion of a new copy. The greatness that is Mana is evident on this CD. Track for track this album just screams SING WITH ME!

That is all.

A song that received very little airplay, however the best Buckcherry song.

The lyrics talk about someone famous leaving behind a love and then trying to return to that place where they once were.

"Do you remember all our love?.. You always made me feel alive. And now we’re in the middle of a transition in our lives…"

I’m curious to know if its easier if you’re famous.

~david maciasDo you remember all our love?
Did you get back from what you gave?
I see some symptoms of a past that you forgave
You never were expendable
You always made me feel alive
And now we

This song reminds me of another song I really like, however I can not remember what song that is. Anyway, it is a pretty good song. The band sounds a little like Chevelle.

The meaning, I’m not too sure about. However, helpless seems to be a common team. Perhaps not so much helplessness, but not being helped by the one person who you want. Thus possible doing more harm than good. It is not always the help the is the one that is required, but the mere act alone speaks volumes at times.

~david maciasChange my attempt good intentions

Crouched over
You were not there
Living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears
But I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help
And please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt

Die, withdraw
Hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you’ve tried
All that you can turning you red

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
This time you’ve tried

All that you can turning you red
but I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I

Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you’ll one day know

Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition

Should I, could I
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Should I, could I

Excellent song, can not wait for their new album and if you get a chance to catch these guys in concert they rock. Dave Grohl put on an excellent show and really know how to get the fans going.

Meaning of the song? Hmm, about moving on past a bad relationship that once seemed good.

"Is someone getting the best of you?" While receiving nothing in return?

And finally the best part of the song, which really sums up how you may feel at the end.

"Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must confess"

Renew your faith.

The first single from Audioslave’s new album which is not out yet. If this song is anything like the rest of the songs in this album, then I will be there Tuesday when it hits the shelves. Song, reminds me a little of "I am the highway" from their freshmen cd, which IMHO was the best track of the whole cd.

I’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves.

~david maciasSomeone falls to pieces
sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain
spinning in the silence
to finally drift away
Someone gets excited
in a chapel yard
catches a bouquet
another lays a dozen white roses on a grave

So be yourself is all that you can do
So be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
and another only fame
Someone tries to hide themself
down inside their selfish brain
Someone swears his true love
until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united?
healthy or insane?

So be yourself is all that you can do
So be yourself is all that you can do
So be yourself is all that you can do
So be yourself is all that you can do

You can be fading out
and pulled apart
or been in love
every single memory of
could have been faces of love
Don’t lose any sleep tonight
i’m sure everything will end up alright
you may win love

but to be yourself is all that you can do
So be yourself is all that you can do

The Mars Volta comes again with a great single from their yet to be released new album. The video has a lot of Mexican folklore influences, which makes it particularly appealing to me. :-)

I consider their sound very experimental and their lyrics very dark. Not in a satanic morbid way but in a more society’s seedy underbelly sense.

Perhaps the meaning about this song is that the main character is evil or the devil, but see how they do flock to him. He provides warmth. The lesser of two evils?
