The Knife: "Pass This On"


I'm in love with your brother
What's his name?

I thought I'd come by

To see him again

When you two danced
, Oh what a dance
When you two laughed
, Oh what a laugh

Has he mentioned my age love?

Or is he more into young girls with dyed black hair?


I'm in love with your brother

I thought I'd come by
I'm in love with your brother
, Yes I am
But maybe I shouldn't ask for his name
And you danced , Oh what a dance
And you laughed
, Oh what a laugh
Does he know what I do?

And you'll pass this on, won't you?

And if I ask him once what would he say?

Is he willing?
Can he play?
If I ask him once what would he say?
Is he willing?
Can he play?

Does he know what I do?
And you'll pass this on, won't you?

And if I ask him once what would he say?

Is he willing?
Can he play?

...
a few things on my mind.

one, this track sounds so serious,
like it
should be in some movie where something
almost
apocolyptic is about to happen...
but the lyrics
are kind of comical to me.
what kind of dance?
and what does she do?


also, for the longest time, i thought

"can he play?" was really "can he pay?"

that changed things a little for me.


finally, the main thing i'm thinking about is
how often, when freelurving, we rely on other
people to say the things we cannot seem to say
to the person we need to be saying them to.

sometimes it works... but rarely. and we are
all
guilty of doing this, myself included.

it's taken me years and years to even recognize

the value of being straightforward and honest
when
it comes to relationships, yet it still
takes me
so long to actually say whatever has been
racing
through my mind, over and over, to the
person i need
to tell. fear of being dramatic,
fear of hearing
a response i don't want to hear,
fear of things
changing, fear of making myself
vulnerable... all
of the above are often in my way.

not sure what mix cd you would want this
song on...
but i do think it's good to take
a minute sometimes
to reflect on the things we
have to say that we avoid
and the reasons we want
someone else to say them for us.
i am doing exactly
that today and realizing
i have a few things
that need to come out. and
i think i might finally
be ready to say them for myself.

another bettye lavette moment...


so, you know those bettye lavette moments
that i have mentioned more than once?
well, this one just hit me yesterday while
listening to her on youtube. it's so
strange how since day one on this blog business
she has somehow crept up on a regular basis.

...
here me now. ooo girl!
ohhh now now. ooo now.

when you give more than you get

you're in danger
you might find out you're lovin' a total stranger...

danger! heartbreak's dead ahead...

...

not that i've fallen in love
with a total stranger...
not that i know of at least.
but i have definitely been in that
give more than you get situation.
it always ends with my crush reminding
me why they're called
a crush.

have a friend in need of a little
nudge, a gentle reminder, that they
should watch out, that the person they
are lurving now isn't worth lurving
tomorrow? throw this on a mix cd
and nonchalantly play it while you're
in the car with them. music is a powerful
thing, bettye lavette may be what you
need
to get your point across.

[[and, if for any reason you or a friend
is in legitimate danger, like not just
heartbreak... click here for more info]]

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: "Home" (original and Fromage Disco remix)



sorry for the lack of updates recently, freelurving
has been in cali and without internet connection.
so here's a two in one special for you!

...

[Her:]
Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my ma and pa,
Not the way that I do love you.

[Him:]
Holy, Moley, me, oh my,
You're the apple of my eye,
Girl I've never loved one like you.

[Her:]
Man oh man you're my best friend,
I scream it to the nothingness,
There ain't nothing that I need.

[Him:]
Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie,
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ,
Ain't nothing please me more than you.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

La, la, la, la, take me home.
Mother, I'm coming home.

[Him:]
I'll follow you into the park,
Through the jungle through the dark,
Girl I never loved one like you.

[Her:]
Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alley-ways and pay phone calls,
I've been everywhere with you.

[Him:]
We laugh until we think we’ll die,
Barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

[Her:]
And in the streets you run afree,
Like it's only you and me,
Geeze, you're something to see.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

La, la, la, la, take me home.
Daddy, I'm coming home.

(Talking)
Him: Jade
Her: Alexander
Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
Her: Yes I do.
Him: Well there's something I never told you about that night.
Her: What didn't you tell me?
Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is where I'm alone with you.

[Him:]
Home. Let me come home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

[Her:]
Ahh home. Yes I am ho-oh-ome.
Home is when I'm alone with you.

[Her:]
Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my ma and pa...
Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alley-ways and pay phone calls...

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is where I'm alone with you...

...

[me:]
why aren't you ever there when i'm there?

[boy:]
you're never anywhere

[me:]
i'm with you a decent amount of the time.
i'm a gypsy.

and there you have it.
a love song for nomads, gypsies, and others,
who have learned that the allure of home
rests not in the bricks or boards,
the street signs or landmarks,
but with those that you share your being with.
whether that's in the car, la, boston, vermont,
tennessee, on a boat, colorado, whatever.
you'll know it when you find it.

to my you(s),
can't wait to come home.

Hideki Naganuma: "The Concept of Love"


Understand, understand, understand, understand,
Understand, understand the concept of love

[3x]


Ready to kick some

Ready to kick some


What is love?
What is free love?
What is love?
Love is free.

Understand, understand the concept of love,

Understand, understand the concept of love,
Understand, understand,
understand, understand,
Understand, understand the concept,

the concept of love.
The concept of love.

Ready to kick some

Ready to kick some

The concept of love,
Free love was too tame for him.

Love, what is love?
What is free love?
What is free boy?
What is boy? What is girl?
What is free girl?
What is....

Love is free (x4)
Ready to kick some ass.

Free love was too tame for him.
Free love was too tame for him.
Free love, free love
too... too tame for him,
Tame for him.
[2x]

Understand-destand-unders,
The concept of, the concept of...
[4x]

Understand, understand the concept of love,
Understand, understand the concept of love.
Understand, understand, understand,
understand the concept,
The concept of love-love-love-love-love.

Free love was too tame for him,
Of love. Tame for him, Tame for him.
Of love. Free love was too tame for him,
Of love. The concept, the concept of love.

What is love?
What is free love?
Love is free.
Love is free...

...

a real freelurving song.
use this one as you wish...

the concept of free love has roots
in many different historical periods.
the term "free love" as a noun is defined as,
the doctrine or practice of having sexual
relations or living together without legal
marriage or continuing obligation. the origin
of this (according to dictionary.reference.com)
is 1815-25. 1815-25?

you may be thinking,
what about the 1960s and 1970s?
orgies and such? that's free love too,
but often referring more to promiscuity
than the free of any regulation type of
love that was developed in earlier times.

so free love was too tame for him?
what's next freelurvers?
you can reflect upon that while
dancing to this Jet Set Radio hit.

Simian Mobile Disco: "Cruel Intentions" (ft. Beth Ditto from Gossip)



Baby baby baby I don't want to
Ever give you the wrong idea
Call me up we'll hang out I'm down for whatever
Tell me am I making myself clear?
Love can be a meaningless emotion
Pretty words that we're obliged say
Rest assured I won't ask for your complete devotion
Let's not let our hearts get in the way

Whooaaaa finally, the weight is off our shoulders
Play for keeps until the night is over oooh

Now you know of my cruel intentions
I can play a hard game I'll admit
So it goes, we both know
You're worthy of my affection
You're not the one who I'll spend my life with

Call me up, we'll hang out
Call me up, we'll hang out
I'm down for whatever

Whooaaaa finally, the weight is off our shoulders
Play for keeps until the night is over oooh

Call me up, we'll hang out
Call me up, we'll hang out
Call me up, we'll hang out
I'm down for whatever

Call me up, we'll hang out
(finally)
Call me up, we'll hang out
Call me up, we'll hang out
(finally)
I'm down for whatever
Until the night is over

Call me up, we'll hang out
I'm down for whatever
...

perfect follow up to yesterday's
(not so yesterday anymore, apologies
for being a slacker lately
) remix.

and, i know i have friends
who know exactly what this song is
all about... yes, you do
and that is more than fine

The Cribs: "Men's Needs (CSS remix)"


two in one special today!
the cribs original from their
"men's needs, women's needs, whatever" album
AND the CSS remix of this wonderful track,
for your listening, mix cd'ing, and dancing pleasure

...

have you noticed,

i've never been impressed by your friends

from new york and london?

i'll level accusations like the press
until you realize
that you've dressed yourself in tatters


because the man's needs
, man's needs
are full of greed
, full of greed
a man's needs
, man's needs are lost on me

a man's needs
, man's needs
are full of greed,
full of greed
a man's needs


i'm not bothered

what you say or how you dress
i'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting

but really

this all seems quite meaningless and i remember

that you never seem to see
the fact that

man's needs
, man's needs
are full of greed
, full of greed
a man's needs,
man's needs are lost on me

a girl's needs
, girl's needs
just don't agree
don't agree
with man's needs


have you noticed,

i've never been impressed by your friends

from new york and london?

but really

this all seems quite meaningless and i remember

that you never seem to see
the excuse that

man's needs
, man's needs
are full of greed
, full of greed
a man's needs,
man's needs are lost on me

you say your man's needs,
man's needs
have lots on me

i don't agree

a man's needs
oh oh oh oh


...

girls are greedy too. not that any guy would
argue with this,
but it's too often scripted in
relationships that the guy
just wants to have
sex and the girl wants a relationship.
it
doesn't always work this way.
the most true statment in this
song, is right
in the middle, that girl's needs just don't

agree with man's needs (and vice versa).

girls, tell me if i am wrong. boys, take note.

Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS): "Music is My Hot, Hot Sex"

From all the drugs the one I like more is music
From all the junks the one I need more is music
From all the boys the one I take home is music
From all the ladies, the one I kiss is music
Music is my boyfriend
Music is my girlfriend
Music is my dead end
Music's my imaginary friend
Music is my brother
Music is my great grand daughter
Music is my sister
Music is my favorite mistress
From all the shit the one I gotta buy is music
From all the jobs the one I choose is music
From all the drinks I get drunk of music
From all the bitches the one I wanna be is music
Music is my beach house
Music is my hometown
Music is my king size bed
Music's where I meet my friends
Music is my hot hot bath
Music is my hot hot sex
Music is my backrub
My music is where I'd like you to touch

Claro que sim, fui escoteira mirim
direto da escola não não ia cheirar cola
nem basquete, pebolim
o que eu gosto não é de graça
o que eu faço não é faaarsaaa
tem guitarra, bateria, computador saindo som
alguns dizem que é mais alto que um furacão

Perto dele eu podia sentir
saía de seu olho e chegava em mim
sentada do seu lado eu queria encostar
faria o Tigela até o sol raiar
debaixo do lençol ele gemia em ré bemol
fiquei tensa, mas tava tudo bem
tudo bem
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também

...

music never sounded so dirty.
for anyone who really loves music,
this can be your love song to it.
wonderfully danceable as well.
