Song of the Day: "Only If You Run" - Julian Plenti

"Only If You Run" 

Interpol frontman, Paul Banks (a.k.a. Julian Plenti) is genius...

I´ve had my frustrations about the pains of daily life
I´ve tasted degradation and found the lace and candle light
But we have the weights we have the measures of our days and nights
I´ve had my frustrations but now I´ve found my place

And you will make it
But only if you run

These lonely dedications I´ve found they bring me peace and light
When three-fold applications of doubt surround my fate you might say
We have the weights we have to wage an assault on what it is
´Cause harmless medications abound and you´re not sick

You will make it
But only if you run

Surprise
Surprise
Surprise
Surprise

You will make it
But only if you run

Song of the Day: "If I Ever Feel Better" - Phoenix

Great walking to work song...

Song of the Day: "Peace Of Mind" - Boston

"Peace of Mind"

The lyrics of this song are the current story of my life...

Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind. (yea

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can'tcha see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...woa!

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin'
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be.

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. Look ahead.
