I find it to be a very visceral song. IMHO.

Track: District Sleeps Alone Tonight - (studio)

Blog post image preview I just finished watching this horribly depressing drama, Imaginary Heroes (2004) and realized that the only ones who could be considered abnormal are those who are least aware that life is nothing more than tragic.

Just quit my job!

Track: Such Great Heights - (studio)
(100)
Well, I quit my job and I'm feeling confused and strange. I have been there for 2 1/2 years and it was my dream job but I made the decision it was not taking me to the places I wanted to go so I had to leave. Sad moment in my life.... Hopefully my new job will take me to the great heights I need.

We'll Give Ourselves New Names

One of my favorite songs of all time has to be Brand New Colony. It's just spectacular. The imagery and the clever writing and catchy yet "smooth" tune, coupled with the great electronic music, really make this song a masterpiece. I think that it is often overshadowed by "Such Great Heights", and, while I love that song, I must confess that I enjoy this one more. First, it opens with a distinct series of notes. If the Mario Theme is genius because you only have to sing t... MORE

Blog post image preview Sleeping InSleepy Sunday, The Sunday Sleep, ah it's all the same. An excuse to glorify the right to do nothing but rest your peeps. Last week I had the strangest dreamWhere everything was exactly how it seemedWhere there was never any mystery of who shot John F. KennedyIt was just a man with something to proveSlightly bored and severely confusedHe steadied his rifle with his target in the centerAnd became famous on that day in November Don't wake me I plan on sleeping...

Happy Beat

(80)
Blog post image preview This song just makes me so happy every time I listen to it. I don't know if it's the little eletronic beats or the lyrics. Something about it though puts a smile on my face. Not like a McDonalds way though. Lyrics

I am thinking it's a sign that the frecklesIn our eyes are mirror images and whenWe kiss they're perfectly alignedAnd I have to speculate that God himselfDid make us into corresponding shapes likePuzzle pieces from the clayAnd true, it may seem like a stretch, bu... MORE

Blog post image preview The covers I've put up so far seem to be getting good reviews so I'll continue putting up some of the songs I've recorded. This time, it's back to Postal Service and once again Ben G. proves to us that he's a brilliant lyricist. I thought it classic.

Here's another one of the covers that I've recorded. I figure I might as well jump on the band wagon and throw up some of Ben G's work. This one is of This Place Is A Prison.

"Again last night I had that strange dream Where everything was exactly how it seemed No concerns about the world getting warmer People thought that they were just being rewarded For treating others as they'd like to be treated For obeying stop signs and curing diseases For mailing letters with the address of the sender Now we can swim any day in November..." hmmm, I was rewarded today with a beautiful sunny day, and I shared the evening wit...

The song from that commercial...

Artist:

Other Tags: commercial, adtunes
For anyone who's ever wondered what that song was you heard in the background of a particular commercial, here's a site where they attempt to catalog as much of it as possible. The site is called adtunes.com, and it's a great place to look if those likeable 30-second snippets aren't enough for you. I remember years ago VW had a commercial that featured "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake, and I wished at the time there was some repository of commercial songs I could search to find... MORE
