  • Röyksopp Forever


    Song: Röyksopp - Happy Up Here
    Vocals by Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland (Röyksopp)
    Released in 2009

    Lyrics:
    You know I really like it
    I know I'll always be here
    You know it makes my heart beat
    You know I'm happy up here

    Would you talk to me
    Would you vote for me
    Im ready for it!
    You know I really like it
    I know I'll always be here
    You know it makes my heart beat
    You know I'm happy up here

    Would you talk to me
    Would you vote for me
    Im ready for it!

    You know I really like it
    I know I'll always be here

    Whatever you do
    Whatever you say
    Nothing could push this feeling away
    Pursuing my heart
    or pursuing my head
    I feel like I'm part of the book of love
    Remember the page
    Remember the people
    Simply a part of human nature
    Sending me back to the memory lane
    this pain again

    You know I really like it
    I know I'll always be here
    You know it makes my heart beat
    You know I really like it
    I know I'll always be here

    Whatever you do
    Whatever you say
    Nothing could push this feeling away
    Pursuing my heart
    or pursuing my head
    I feel like I'm part of the book of love
    Remember the page
    Remember the people
    Simply a part of human nature
    Sending me back to the memory lane
    this pain again

    You know I really like it
    I know I'll always be here
    You know it makes my heart beat


    Song: Röyksopp - The Girl and the Robot
    Vocals by Robyn
    Released in 2009

    Lyrics:
    I go mental every time you leave for work
    You never seem to know when to stop
    I never know when you'll return
    I'm in love with a robot

    In the night, call you up and
    Wanna know when you're coming home
    don't deny me, call me back
    I'm so alone

    In the night, wait up for you
    Even though you don't want me to
    Go to bed, leave the lights on
    what's the use

    So you want to understand me
    You just see what you want to see
    there's no way I can help you out
    You don't know what it's all about

    Fell asleep again in front of MTV
    God, I'm down at the bottom
    No one's singing songs for me
    I can't wait for tomorrow

    When you're gone and rain starts falling
    I just sit here by the phone
    don't deny me, call me back
    I'm so alone

    Oh, when you gonna come home?
    Oooooh I just gotta know
    When you gonna come home?
    Oh

    Baby I can't stand it when you go to work
    You never seem to know when to stop
    I never know when you'll return
    I'm in love with a robot

    In the night, call you up and
    Wanna know when you're coming home
    don't deny me, call me back
    I'm so alone


    Song: Röyksopp - Röyksopp Forever
    Sit back and listen.

  • Day 'n' Nite


    Song: Kid Cudi - Day 'n' Nite
    Vocals by Kid Cudi
    Released in 2008

    Lyrics:
    Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh...

    [Kid Cudi:]
    Day and night (what, what)
    I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind, mind (what, what)
    I look for peace but see I don't attain (what, what)
    What I need for keeps this silly game we play, play
    Now look at this (what, what)
    Madness to magnet keeps attracting me, me (what, what)
    I try to run but see I'm not that fast (what, what)
    I think I'm first but surely finish last, last

    [Chorus:]
    Cuz day and night
    The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
    He's all alone through the day and night
    The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)
    Day and night
    The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
    He's all alone, some things will never change (never change)
    The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)

    [Kid Cudi:]
    Hold the phone (what, what)
    The lonely stoner, mr. solo doe low (what, what)
    He's on the move can't seem to shake the shade (what, what)
    Within his dreams he see's the life he made, made
    The pain is deep (what, what)
    A silent sleeper you won't hear a peep, peep (what, what)
    The girl he wants don't seem to want him too(what, what)
    It seems the feelings that she had are through, through

    [Chorus:]
    Cuz day and night
    The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
    He's all alone through the day and night
    The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)
    Day and night
    The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
    He's all alone, some things will never change (yeah) (never change)
    The lonely loner seems to free his(yeah) mind at night (at, at, at night)

    [Kid Cudi:]
    Slow moe, (what, what)
    When the temple slows up and creates that new, new (what, what)
    He seems alive though he is feeling blue (what, what)
    The sun is shining man he's super cool, cool
    The lonely nights (what, what)
    They fade away he slips into his white nikes (what, what)
    He smokes a clip and then he's on the way (what, what)
    To free his mind in search of,
    To free his mind in search of,
    To free his mind in search of,

    [Chorus:]
    day and night
    The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
    He's all alone through the day and night
    The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)
    Day and night
    The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
    He's all alone, some things will never change (never change)
    The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)

  • Be yourself

    When are you truly yourself? What do you truly define as "yourself"?
    Our friends are an extension of yourself. They are able to look past your faults and still like you for who you are.
    But why exactly are they your friends? Do they see you for someone else or think you have the lack of willpower to do something?

    It's hard to be yourself when at the same time you have to secure yourself for many different reasons. If you give too much out, you're not secured from anything. If you secure yourself too much, no one knows you or your reasons. It's too much of an obstacle. How do friendships stay together when there are underlying flaws that truly bother you? An upright resolution face to face works best but how well does that work? There are too much questions right now going on at the same time. I can see how trust can be so hard to gain from people.

    My current situation is already laid out but the only way I can really found out about something is learn by doing. I get suggestions from friends but is it really the best way through? I've learned to be myself in situations. I've mellowed out and straighten out my contacts. I don't feel miserable anymore. I actually feel great for once. To be honest, I have been feeling great for the past few months. My priorities are still defined and I believe nothing is going to change them. Those are my beliefs. I've learned to be myself.

  • Electric Feel!


    Song: MGMT - Electric Feel
    Vocals by Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden (both do vocals?)
    Released in 2008

    Lyrics:
    All along the western front
    People line up to receive.
    She got the power in her hand
    To shock you like you won't believe.
    Saw her in the amazon
    With the voltage running through her skin
    Standing there with nothing on
    She gonna teach me how to swim

    Ooh girl
    Shock me like an electric eel
    Baby girl
    Turn me on with your electric feel

    Ooh girl
    Shock me like an electric eel
    Baby girl
    Turn me on with your electric feel

    All along the eastern shore
    Put your circuits in the sea
    This is what the world is for
    Making electricity
    You can feel it in your mind
    Oh you can do it all the time
    Plug it in and change the world
    You are my electric girl.

    Ooh girl
    Shock me like an electric eel
    Baby girl
    Turn me on with your electric feel

    Ooh girl
    Shock me like an electric eel
    Baby girl
    Turn me on with your electric feel

    Do what you feel now
    Electric feel now
    Do what you feel now
    Electric feel now
    Do what you feel now
    Electric feel now
    Do what you feel now
    Electric feel now
    Do what you feel now
    Electric feel now

    Ok. I have recently been getting into MGMT if it isn't obvious now. How did I miss this release from earlier this year? I hear a couple mashup songs with MGMT in it and I suddenly became hooked to the band. A mash up of MGMT's "Time to Pretend" with Daft Punk's "One More Time" got me interested with the band as the mashup was really good! Also, this song is just perfect. The Justice remix of it is just as perfect:



    Also here is the mashup I was talking about:
