The Blood :: The Cure

Sorry for yet another "Golden Oldie."

This is from off of "The Head on The Door." When Robert Smith sings, "I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ..." he is singing about the pain of his alcoholism. I love this song for the lyrics, the great imagery, and the flamenco influence. The video is cool too- it reminds me of some old Bunuel film from the 60s.

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
Its as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all

I am paralysed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop

How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears
All the broken words

I am paralysed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop

When the sunsets glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know
If any of this was really true at all

Noticed :: Mute Math

my sincerest apologies for being entirely late with this post...but as of today, i am no longer a student! i have completed my master's degree program in sociology so now it's time to find a job...so, hopefully i will be on time from now on!

anyway, i want to talk about a (new to me) band that my roommate passed onto me. this group is called Mute Math and they're from New Orleans, Louisiana. if you have a special place in your heart for the 80's and the music that era produced, then you will hopefully dig this group!

this group caught my attention upon the first 4 seconds of hearing them for many reasons, including the following:

a driving drum beat
catchy lyrics and melody
kickin bass lines
sweet guitar licks
counting out loud
and last but not least...a keyboard guitar


hopefully y'all will enjoy this song and this band as much as i do. special shout out to my roommate for passing this group onto me!!

the end.
<3,

Careful when you open
It's easy to be broken
In the strangest fashion
You start a chain reaction
When you look my way
Something's pounding away
And I wonder if I ever felt this before

And all this time oblivious to what you make so obvious
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before

You are reaching for something that is beating
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before
Over and again racing out of my skin
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before

At least it was never until I noticed you
And your ways capture what I've misplaced
In the perfect fashion
Just watch my hearts reaction
This point of view is nothing that I'm used to
But I won't close my eyes cause they're onto you

And all this time it was staring me blind
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before

You are reaching for something that is beating
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before
Over and again racing out of my skin
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before

At least it was never until I noticed you
Woah-oh
The only time I ever noticed my heart was when I noticed you-yeah
The only time I ever noticed my heart was when I noticed you-yeah
You-yeah, you YEAH!

1-2-3!

You are reaching for something that is beating
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before
Over and again racing out of my skin
I can't believe I never noticed my heart before

Till I noticed you-yeah
I noticed you-yeah
You, yeah
When I noticed you-yeah
I noticed you-yeah
That's the only time I ever noticed my heart before
