To follow up with last week’s Music Monday. I’m very into this new song from AM.
Next up on the TBR pile:
This is a fan mashup of these two groups doing the Arctic Monkeys, but it was just so magical that I had to add it.
Next up on the TBR pile:
Another three songs from my giant iPod shuffle...
Arctic Monkeys "Brainstorm"
Sarah Brightman "Scarborough Fair"
Florence + the Machine "Only If for a Night"
1. Paramore "Grow Up"
2. Justin Timberlake "SexyBack"
3. Arctic Monkeys "Brick by Brick"
There's a special place in heart for the Arctic Monkeys. They never fail to make me feel good and sing along. Their new album, AM, is just a treasure. They've grown so much since the first album. This is the first song and the album. The beat alone gets me up and moving. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the tide that sticks around like summat in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you're in deep? I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeatUntil I fall asleepSpilling drinks on my settee
(Do I wanna know?) If this feeling flows both ways (Sad to see you go) I've started hoping that you'd stay (Didn't we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the goods? Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts Simmer down and pucker up I'm sorry to interrupt it's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you I don't know if you feel the same as I do We could be together if you wanted to
(Do I wanna know?) If this feeling flows both ways (Sad to see you go) I've started hoping that you'd stay (Didn't we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few) 'Cause I always do ('cause I always do) Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
(Do I wanna know?) If this feeling flows both ways (Sad to see you go) I've started hoping that you'd stay (Didn't we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
(Do I wanna know?) Too busy being yours to fall (Sad to see you go) Ever thought of calling darlin'? (Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawling back to you?
Can I tell you how much I love the Arctic Monkeys? Bunches and bunches and bunches. I can't even express how much I love them. For today's Music Monday, I thought I would hightlight one of their awesome songs. As an added bonus, I included Alex Turner doing a cover of "Strange." Enjoy your Monday!
Arctic Monkeys "R U Mine"
I'm a puppet on a string Tracy Island, time-traveling diamond Coulda shaped heartaches Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning Years too late She's a silver lining lone ranger riding Through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me
I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna beAnd satisfaction feels like a distant memoryAnd I can't help myself,All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine? "
Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine?
I guess what I'm trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape lost track of time and space She's a silver lining climbing on my desire
And I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine? "
Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine? Mine?)
And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I'm mistaken, I just wanna hear you say you got me baby Are you mine?
She's a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me And I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine? "
Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow, or just mine tonight?)
Alex Turner "Strange"
As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time. To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account. Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme. Enjoy!
Gorillaz "Dare" -- The boys really enjoy this song while driving in the car. Great beat!
Arctic Monkeys "I Bet You Look Good" -- Love the Arctic Monkeys and this song gets me moving every time. Two different live versions for you to enjoy!
The Killers "Somebody Told Me" -- I was working at Best Buy when this was released and it was constantly on rotation in the store. Every time it came on, all the cashiers started dancing. Plus, they were awesome in concert. The live video sounds like what I heard when I saw them this past December.
