Thursdays Tunes: Cadillac Blindside - True and Cold

Hey guys! This week at the top of the charts!? Cadillac Blindside... Zaq's old band... im feeling a little nostalgic today... you may not know this... but I actually married a rock star ;)  They were on Fueled By Ramen  and toured with favorites such as The Lawrence Arms, Motion City Soundtrack, At the Drive In, Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music and Dashboard Confessional... Theyre even in Wikipedia! Oh how I wish i knew him back then... or maybe i dont... haha im not sure... but i sure as hell love him as he is now... He has traded in the life on the road for a life with screaming fans to a life at home for dinner with two toddlers... screaming "daddy! daddy! your home!" the second he walks in the door... I hope he is as happy about that decision as i am... ;) Love you baby... you'll always be a rockstar in our eyes :)







Cadillac Blindside - True And Cold



Found at skreemr.com


Lyrics:
believe me, your time has come to walk away. you didn't need me, except for your own punching bag. you can't convince me, that you changed yourself all around. how could you use me, to cover your own failures now? maybe if you died, i could live a little more. there'd be no teary eyes, just a body on the floor. wish i could see your face lifeless, cold, and blue. your epitaph might say, "i was never there for you". you didn't take time to accept changes in my life. oh how time flies, digs a hole like a rusty knife. and the infection, seeps through veins of family. a new direction, it found the cure inside of me.

Thursdays Tunes: Jack Johnson - Better Together





I Wub this song... i begged zaq to let me use it in the wedding but he denied it, lol 
There's no combination of words 
I could put on the back of a postcard, 
No song that I could sing 
But I can try for your heart, 
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things, 
Like a shoebox of photographs, 
With sepiatone loving,
Love is the answer 
At least for most of the questions in my heart ,
Like why are we here? And where do we go? 
And how come it's so hard? 
It's not always easy,
And sometimes life can be deceiving, 
I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together 

[Chorus:] 
MMM, it's always better when we're together 
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together 
Well, it's always better when we're together 
Yeah, it's always better when we're together 

[Verse 2:]
And all of these moments 
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight 
But I know that they'll be gone, 
When the morning light sings 
And brings new things,
But tomorrow night you see 
That they'll be gone too, 
Too many things I have to do, 
But if all of these dreams might find their way 
Into my day to day scene 
I'll be under the impression, 
I was somewhere in-between 
With only two, 
Just me and you 
Not so many things we got to do, 
Or places we got to be 
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together 
MMM, We're somewhere in-between together 
Well, it's always better when we're together 
Yeah, it's always better when we're together 

MmMMmm MmMMm MmMMm 
I believe in memories 
They look so, so pretty when I sleep 
Hey now, and when, and when I wake up, 
You look so pretty sleeping next to me 
But there is not enough time, 
And there is no, no song I could sing 
And there is no combination of words I could say 
But I will still tell you one thing, 
We're better together

Thursdays Tunes: Bright Eyes - First Day of my Life

I just love this song... for oh so many reasons... #1? Because its just plain adorable... you MUST watch the video... its just so sweet and expresses love in all its forms... #2: Because at the end of our wedding ceremony we walked back down the isle with this playing... we even tied it into the Pronouncement...
Cole:  Amber & ZaQ, This is the first day of your life. You stood before your friends and family here today and spoke your vows and sealed them with the exchanging of the rings. It is with great honor that I now pronounce you as Husband & Wife.

Zaq, you may kiss your bride.

It was pretty much perfection, and the perfect song to play as we started our new journey together...




This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Thursdays Tunes: Against me! - Trash Unreal

This is the PERFECT song to bring in the New Year... You can never go wrong with Against Me! But this song... all about partying hard and makin changes... *cheers mates* Thanks for an amazing year of support... you all "rock" ;)



If she wants to dance and drink all night, well there’s no one that can stop her.
She’s going until the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor.
This night is gonna end when we’re damn well ready for it to be over.
Worked all week long now the music is playing on our time.
We do what we do to get by, and then we need a release.

You get mixed up with the wrong guys.
You get messed up on the wrong drugs.
Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn’t really plan on going.
When people see the track marks on her arms she knows what they’re thinking.
She keeps on working for that minimum,
as if a high school education gave you any other options, you know.
They don’t know nothing about redemption.
They don’t know nothing about recovery.
Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family.

No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone.
[x2]

She’s out of step with the style.
She don’t know where the actions happening.
You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be.
You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world
that you could use to make the boys believe you're still in you twenties.
But they keep getting younger, don't they baby?
She’s not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege.
She can still hear that Rebel Yell just as loud as it was in 1983, you know.
There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her and she doesn’t care.

No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone.
[x2]
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
And if she had to live it all over again you know she wouldn’t change anything for the world.
