Best of 2007

The year's almost over, thought it seems it's only just begun. This is making me feel really old and nostalgic...

Anyway. I'll post my Best of Two-Thousand-Seven lists shortly.

Head Automatica for life.

Elliot Smith (RIP) - my heart aches whenever I think about Elliot.


...and now I'm crying. Fuck, I wish he wasn't gone.

Rise Against - BLOGWHORING!!!!!11ONEZ111

Rise Against is definitely my huge new love right now. Not that I recently became interested in them, I just fell in love with Tim and those goddamn harmonies all over again.
They're truly everything I need and aspire to be. Politically aware, politically ACTIVE, they use their passion for music to further their beliefs. Yeah, that's all I want to be.

Swing Life Away


Prayer Of The Refugee


Blood To Bleed


Ready To Fall


Hold on slow down
Again from the top now and tell me everything.
I know I`ve been gone for
What seems like forever
But I`m here now waiting
To convince you that I`m not
A ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said just go on to what you
Pretend is your life but
Please don`t die on me

Wings won`t take me
Heights don`t phase me
So take a step
But don`t look down, take a step

Now I`m standing on a rooftop ready to fall (ready to fall)
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion the image wont focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down take a step

Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall (ready to fall)
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

I count the times that Ive been sorry (I know I know)
Now my compassion slowly drowns (I know I know)
If there's a time these walls could guard you (I know I know)
Then let that time be right now

Now I'm standing on a rooftop
Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall (ready to fall)
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

'This Modern Love'

The Killing Lights

5 AM on the bathroom floor
From the night before
Do you find me dreadful?

Such a shame
Such a sad disgrace
Such a pretty face
But she's not regretful

Am I beautiful?
AmI usable?

It's killing time again
Put on your face and let's pretend
These killing lights won't kill us all again

Three AM on the city street
When the air is sweet
I have had my mouth full
But it seems that outside the screen
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful

Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?

It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.

It's killing time again
Cover your face and we'll pretend
These killing lights can't kill us all again

You see, they always remember
They never forget a face...


When they
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up
Cut cut cut cut they remember,
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up
Cut you up...

It's killing time again
Put on your face and let's pretend
These killing lights won't kill us all again

It's killing time again
Cover your face and we'll pretend
These killing lights can't kill us all again

All again, all again
It's time again...

It's killing time.
