Raw Sugar - Metric

Sort of wonder why No one said a word
Don't you like it on the sly?
Don't you like it till it hurts?
Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?
Something in your head You've been fighting all along...

I don't want to say it, The news is not so good
We'll never get away, And even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine Around an open flame
Oversleep and burn To be back in the game

'Cause summer never comes Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave
I pay to call home
(same black day, high rise grave)

No I'm not complaining, Yes it could be worse
Ferment on the wish bone, Match the lips to the purse
Neighborhood's a runway, Fry the ass and thighs
Dirty denim dealers, pushed behind the ire's

And summer never comes Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave
I pay to call home
(same black day, high rise grave)

Still I wear the red dress, Paint my toes and twirl
Take it back to old times,when I was still a girl
'Cause now I'm all vavoom boys, Cootchie Cootchie Coo
Sort of wonder why I missed a kiss for you

'Cause summer never comes (same black day, high rise grave)
Winter never comes (same black day, high rise grave)

Texico Bitches - Broken Social Scene

The Stone - Dave Matthews Band

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Now I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear

Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh, but this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake
And now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I go a long way
To bury the past for I don't want to pay
Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again
Now I'm just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
And oh it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Tell me you will.


Bold awareness. Makes my Heart tear up, but makes my face smile.

Choices - Joey Hundert

Embodiment of consciousness can also occur as a grand receiving and allowing of all that is, while clearly tracking a different path. There is a gloriousness about your choices, and if they are held as just-fascinating-choices, then all that can happen is appreciation. If anything other than appreciation is happening, then meaning is being created - the sort of meaning that can only make things more dense. There is the meaning that is required for understanding, and then there is the meaning that is borne of interpretation. I am fully trying to wrap up all the interpretations in my life so that choice can just be choice and nothing else. That way, it is the most inoffensive thing in the world to provide leadership-through-life-lived. If others are inspired, FANTASTIC. However, if not, FANTASTIC.


Thank you Joey! Thank you thank you thank you!

World Container - The Tragically Hip

There’s a world container with your name on it
and a billion ways to go berserk
when the country quits on you
it must be dinner
and the Himmler on this one is, there’s no dessert
(he’s the one who couldn’t imagine
all the people living life in peace, yoo hoo oo oo oo)
Good news! You get to vanish
go to Cleveland, be an indie smash
the good news is now you’re smaller
the bad news is you can be smaller than that
Go suck some souls, be a reader, get used
laugh at a funeral or two
laugh and laugh til all the chameleons turn black
laugh and laugh til you’re told, ‘Please don’t come back’
then fake incredulous, say, ‘I just can’t believe!
How’d it get this late so early?’
say, ‘Ain’t life a grand’ and ‘I’m in awe of y’all’
then drop into your haunted bunk
go to your touchless times
out where the water’s drying
go past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
what you’ll find there are all flaws in progress
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
yea, all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget

Yea, I‘ve faked incredulous, said, ‘I just can’t believe.
How’d it get this late so early’
said, ‘Ain’t life a grand’ and ‘I’m in awe of y’all’
I’ve dropped into my haunted bunk
been to the touchless times,
out where the water’s drying
been past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
what we have here are all flaws in progress
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget

Rebellion - Arcade Fire with an amazing firework show


Montreal is hosting the 2010 International Firework Show, just so happened to be an Arcade Fire show going on. I watched this firework performance from a rail road track in Vieux-Montreal just steps away from the mighty Saint Laruent. Surrounded by thousands of people during the spectacular 30 minute performance. Also happened to be the night before two of my best friends got married. Not a bad night.
