I was going to post some lyrics from the new Dark Tranquillity album, and I had the post typed up before deciding to post this. But then I cut it, went to make a music post, and copied that url before pasting the lyrics I had copied. Oh well.
Weird that these guys aren’t on Darklyrics at all. I also don’t really love the lyrics to any of their songs, but I listened to this song and loved it, so there it is. It seems like every single one of their songs is about heaven/angels, but I haven’t found awesome lyrics that match an awesome song yet. I hate opening a dozen tabs to get song lyrics, so I haven’t read all their lyrics like I might have on Darklyrics, but meh. Post is done.
This band, Kickback UK, put their album, Persevering With Positivity, out online for free, which was pretty cool of them. I downloaded it, enjoyed it a lot, and decided to buy a cd and a shirt. The bundle I got also came with a compilation of a bunch of other punk/ska bands on the same label, and I checked out a number of those and plan to make some more purchases. I bought a shirt and cd for Stand Out Riot, and I’ll probably make a post about them when those get here.
Lyrics are in a myspace blog along with a bunch of other songs, so I shall paste them:
ALL THE WRONG REASONS
So it’s not enough, you’ve not gotten what you want, jaded and broken down by unaccomplished goals. Your head’s in the future, but your heart’s in the past. So I guess we’ll drag this out and see how long we make it last.
And we’ve seen it all before, you’re holding out for more. But when that call never comes, it’s time to face what you’ve become, there’s no point doing all of this unless you know you’re having fun.
You’re doing this for all the wrong reasons.
‘Let’s look at this from a business point of view’ - when you think like that, well then I guess we’re through. Throw the marketing books out the window, you should have guessed this wasn’t profitable long ago. When you put your heart and soul into something you all enjoy, there’s ups and downs, but the experience is what should count. Making friends, making music, making the best of what we’ve got.
And we’ve seen it all before, you’re holding out for more. But when that call never comes, it’s time to face what you’ve become, there’s no point doing all of this unless you know you’re having fun.
You’re doing this for all the wrong reasons.
I’ve found out you’re not who you claim to be, I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say.
We’ve found a reason.
You’re doing this for all the wrong reasons.
Easy by Holden Avenue, from their self-titled album
I know that living is not easy (easy) Surrounded by nowadays world The faces all over are grinning (grinning) Showing off how much they care Market is endlessly selling (selling) So far better days And people all around are buying (buying) Ideals made in USA
This style of life is expanding Coursing every day You have no place to run to You have to live this way
Can we walk all along Leaving this world on its own Can we ease up our lifes Living without stars and stripes
I know that it is not easy (easy) To be with such peculiar man I know that it is hard to please him (please him) Doing everything that you can Now everytime he needs bigger (better) More expensive things And every single night he’s dreaming (dreaming) Fucked up American dreams
This style of life is expanding Coursing every day You have no place to run to You have to live this way
Can we walk all along Leaving this world on its own Can we ease up our lifes Living without stars and stripes
No one said that nice and easy Will be your life But that’s only one you’ve got no No second try You don’t have to buy all crap they They send to you Don’t stare at the stars and stripes like Some blinded fool
Video this time, because I couldn’t upload two things today and wanted to get these posts done for the future before I forgot. Innovation at its best!
These guys also uploaded their album for free, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Unfortunately, I haven’t given them any of my money yet, but I likely will some day.
edit: goddamnit tumblr this was supposed to be published IN TWO WEEKS
Vote For Heresy, by Darzamat, from their 2009 album Solfernus’ Path.
What’s that? Where have I been, and why didn’t I update my tumblr even when I wasn’t busy? Well, I didn’t really have anything to post. It’s not like the novelty wore off or anything, I will post when I have things for it! I will also try to have things for it, because I know I don’t need to write a short story every time I post.
Speaking of things for tumblr, here’s another band.They’re a recent acquisition, but they seem pretty sweet so far. I was going to wait until the 14th so music posts could be a weekly thing, then I listened to this song and went man I need to post these guys.
So I did.
Chasing Hamburg from Polar Bear Club’s 2009 album, also titled Chasing Hamburg.
I know everyone does, but seriously, I love Polar Bear Club. I’d spend money on merchandise for them if I could justify needing some of it, but unfortunately I have enough t-shirts and hoodies right now. Maybe I’ll pick something up if I see them live.
