Pink singing a duet with Nate Ruess? (lead singer from Fun)

I’m going to need a new pair of pants, because I seem to have ruined these.

I think I have a new favorite song.

“Just Give Me A Reason”
(featuring Nate Ruess)

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren’t all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you’ve been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you’ve had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
We’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I’m sorry I don’t understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin’
And it’s all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin’)
You’ve been havin’ real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There’s nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You’re still written in the scars on my heart
You’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh tear ducts and rust
I’ll fix it for us
We’re collecting dust
But our love’s enough
You’re holding it in
You’re pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We’ll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
That we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit’s enough
Just a second we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It’s in the stars
It’s been written in the scars on our hearts
That we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh oh, that we’re not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

So far I’m loving this album and this song especially.

I don’t remember who posted about “Some Nights” being on sale for $5 on Amazon and I didn’t even know who they were but I listened to them on Spotify and I was like “Holy crap I love this”

Even if the “We Are Young” video was bested by this parody and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be enjoying this “ironically” or for real, I’m going to stay that I’m just enjoying it for real…

Judge the fuck away, because after this week there’s a line around the entire fucking block.

How often do I post music? Like never, right? So if I’m posting music, you know it must be a special occasion. And it is. I’ve spent a good part of the day cleaning up my old iTunes library, and I just re-discovered this song.

This is, without question, the best song about (possibly unrequited) love ever written. So feel free to stop trying to write more of them, like, ever.

This song is so awesome that even if you won’t take the 3:33 to listen to it (you heartless bastard), at least you should read the lyrics. Or you can use this to sing along.

~ “If you don’t love me (I’ll kill myself)” by Pete Droge ~

If you want, I’ll be by your side
And if you don’t maybe suicide
It’s my love that’d kill me, dear,
If you won’t hold me and have me near
But don’t you fret and don’t be scared
‘Cause baby I am a millionaire
I’ll make you a star and I’ll make you a queen
I’ll put your face in all the magazines…

(interlude)

Okay, so I lied, and none of that’s true
But not having you is making me blue
And I want you for the rest of my life
Yes, I want you to be my wife

I’ll give you a ring and a home-sweet-home
And if you want you’ll be free to roam
But not too far, I’ll be begging you please
Begging you please upon my bended knees…

‘Cause if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
If you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
And if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
And if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself

I need you more than a sailor needs a breeze
I need you more than an Eskimo freeze

I need your loving more than money or air
And if you don’t love me baby that’s not fair

‘Cause I’ll be good to you in every way
I’ll give you loving baby everyday

A loving that’s good, a loving that’s all right
A loving like an oven on the coldest night (Wooh!)

(COWBELL!)

‘Cause if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
If you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
And if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
And if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
And if you don’t love me, I’ll kill myself
If you don’t love me…
If you don’t love me…

Pink Floyd doesn’t want you to buy their songs

It’s “A Great Day For Freedom”—at least for the members of Pink Floyd. As BBC News reports, the band has emerged victorious in a legal battle with record label EMI, accompanied by a ruling that could soon lead to the band’s entire discography getting pulled from iTunes.

Pink Floyd’s original contract with EMI—inked before the rise of iTunes and Amazon and their ilk as modern purveyors of digital music—included a clause that Chancellor Sir Andrew Morritt says requires that EMI “preserve the artistic integrity of the albums.” The court’s interpretation was thus that EMI may not distribute Floyd tunes “by any other means other than the original album, without the consent of Pink Floyd.” That means no more integrity-busting individual tracks.

(I’ll spare you the rest of Macworld’s “clever” article which spared no Pink Floyd song-name pun.)

Pink Floyd, who haven’t written a notable song since —when? the late ’70s? Maybe the 80s? — would like to travel back in time to a land before the iTunes and Amazon’s MP3 store, and The Internet.

They sound every bit as delusional as JK Rowling who refuses to release her books on Audible.com but will make CDs of them, ensuring that no piracy will ever take place.

All they have done, in fact, is make sure that no one will pay for an individual track, which will be uploaded moments after it goes on sale, and which will have high demand given that they are not otherwise available, thus ensuring that it will be pretty easy to find a copy.

In short, Pink Floyd has made great strides towards “artistic integrity” today, at the cost of actually getting paid for their work. Well done, gents.

Anyway, you might want to cherry pick your favorite songs on iTunes or Amazon while you’ve got the opportunity.

“And everybody wants another piece of pie today,” he said

“You gotta watch the ones who always keep their hands clean.”

The Big Heat is the title track to Stan Ridgway’s solo album.

You may remember Ridgway as the lead singer of Wall Of Voodoo for their one-hit-wonder “Mexican Radio”. My brother gave me a (copy) of this tape in the late 80s and I wore it out in my Walkman. I don’t remember ever seeing this video. God bless the internet.

I love videos that are more creative than a bunch of concert clips of the band.
