Love Song #5

another one

lyrics:

well i believe the time is so free it pins itself bloody and straight to my heart, it cuts me softly and without a care; a pistol pointed stare concieved from a dream. And i woke up yesterday with your words on my skin, a cold mess we're in, a distorted chance. And the phone's been ringing for days on their end -- caustic and violent, an idiot fucking thing; and with god as my guy to record all my woes i'll bludgeon him slowly to a senseless death. Here's a figure of thought: if you stay awake for a thousand creeping hours you won't be sure if you're having the dream or if the dream's having you.

Bled into my strings: thoughtful enough for a kid, but it doesn't mean anything, never will never did; call it self-abuse and a tireless wind over and through... oh, over and through, cause I've grown up in a spiral with the small town reminder of how to drink fast enough so you get fucked in an hour, and my god, my holy, i steal from your church; without the slightest regret I steal back all my sins, in your alleyway i hide from all the policemen and i sort of hate my country -- you know the one for which you stand. But let's not talk about that, let's just face the facts -- you killed my love and I want it back.


I know the last line's messed up when I sang.

I saw your comment on a a Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah video about how the guy's voice "sucks" so i thoght i'd check out your stuff. Well, there's a reason the lead singer of Clap is in a band that makes a lot of money and has appeared on david letterman and you are...not. Im not saying this just to be an asshole, really, just before you trash people who are much more successful than you make sure you have the talent to back up your insults. On the bright side, really good lyrics.

As it was a rather involved quasi-putdown, I thought I'd give it an involved response:

Thank you for the lyrics comment; you obviously have taste. As for the talent thing... this was a bit of a different song, with not a whole lot of melody or structure, and I would ask you to check out a couple of my other videos before you so definitely levy judgement. In my case, I looked at about eight CYHSY videos before coming to my conclusion, and I do stand by it.

awful voice, no melody, song blows

[SurfaceToday]

Well, thanks for being honest.

[SurfaceToday]

Just trying to cut through the bullshit.

But, thank you -

I did like She Makes Me Tired.

[hellohandgunxx]

ehhhhhhh its alright

one of those love it or hate it songs

i think its alright though

so its not one of those love it or hate it songs

you know?

[TheGingerKid1771]

Yeah i watched christmas red you do have talent no doubt about it. Still disagree on CYHSY, but i don't really care that much so you can pretty much just ignore that other post. Keep it up man.

[TheGingerKid1771]

well, agree to disagree. and i was by no means saying you have no talent i was just saying to make sure you are good enough to be able to say that about a relatively popular band. But, its a personal taste thing, so i respect your opinion.

[mrpitifulband]

Crazy stuff man.

I don't want to like this because you were such an ass commenting on my last vid.

But you've definitely got something here.

Rock on brother.
