Some songs...

We're in the house today, thanks to the snow (welcome to an Alberta Spring!) and I'm downloading tons of music I have been meaning to for a while now. Including Our Lady Peace, whom I have loved forever. Since, in fact, I saw them when they opened for Alanis Morrisette. Who, by the way, sucks ass in concert and was the biggest waste of money EVER. EVER!! (Kandice and Jen are nodding in agreement at this very moment)It was like listening to her cd at home, no talking, no interaction blech.

However, we were fortunate enough to hear these guys and they saved the night for us. Too bad Alanis showed up and interrupted them. Boo-hiss.

I adore Raine...here's his blog if you want to read it for shits and giggles LOL! Man, you can find everyones inner thoughts on the web...

So here's one, called Life, I remember being pregnant with Kade and watching this video and sobbing while watching it. This would be on my top 10 list of favorite songs and videos too. The lyrics are just amazing. Dare you to watch it without tearing up. I couldn't make it a minute in while previewing it on Youtube without starting to cry.



The lyrics:

How many times have you been pushed around?
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
And how many times have your friends let you down?
Is anybody there?
Did anybody stare?

And how many times have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
And how many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?

Oh, life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we'll survive

Do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do

And how many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high?
Is everyone afraid?
And how many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart?
Have they ever seen your pain?

Oh, life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we'll survive

She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, and all her life

She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, and all her life

Life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we'll survive

Oh, life is waiting for you
It’s all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you, oh
It’s all messed up, but we're alive
It’s all messed up, but we’ll survive
It’s all messed up, but we're alive
It’s all messed up, but we’ll, oh we’ll, survive



And this one is awesome too...called 4 AM



Hmmmm I am very melancholy today...
