Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
(Losing my religion)
You are the star tonite
If I ever want to fly
Hollywood is under me.
Don't be scared
You are alive
(Electrolite)
when you're sure you've had enough
of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go,
'cause everybody cries
and everybody hurts
If you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no, you are not alone
(Everybody hurts)
This fame thing,
This star thing,
I don't get it.
Aluminum, it tastes like fear.
Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
(E-bow the letter)
thats sugarcane that tasted good
thats who you are, thats what you could
c’mon c’mon no one can see you cry
(Imitation of life)
you know what you are
you’re gonna be a star
you know who you are
you’ve written your own directions
(All the way to Reno)
I know you say
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
You've got all the right friends
(All the right friends)
I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
a way to make you smile
(At my most beautiful)
Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
(Bad day)
There’s a new planet in the solar system.
There is nothing up my sleeve.
I’m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I’m tossing off punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls,
Crashing to the ground.
I’m breaking through
I’m bending spoons
I’m keeping flowers in full bloom
I’m looking for answers from the great beyond
(The great beyond)
September's coming soon.
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
(Nightswimming)
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
(What's the frequency, Kenneth)
But this machine can only swallow money.
You can't lay a patch by computer design.
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs.
(The sidewinder sleeps tonite)
Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby.
Are we losing touch?
If you believed
they put a man on the moon
(Man on the moon)
I see today with a newsprint fray
my night is colored headache gray
don’t wake me with so much
daysleeper
(Daysleeper)
I'll bring you a big bouquet
I picked it myself today
it compliments your eyes
there's love at the end of the line
I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
(High speed train)
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
(Leaving New York)
Throw your love around
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Everyone around love them, love them
There's no time to cry
Where tomorrow shines
(Shiny happy people)
The flowers cover everything
Don’t look into the sun
(The flowers of Guatemala)
I want the sun to shine on me
I want the truth to set me free
Hold on world cause you don't know what's coming
Give me a voice so strong
I can question what I have seen
(Around the sun)
I used to think, as birds take wing,
they sing through life, so why can’t we?
we cling to this, and claim the best
if this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain
(I'll take the rain)
Ooooo, we were little boys
Ooooo, we were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth. Question:
Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?
(Catapult)
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
(I believe)
I used to think, as birds take wing,
they sing through life, so why can’t we?
we cling to this, and claim the best
if this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain.
Ovom prekrasnom pjesmom započinjem današnji post.
Nisam već dugo pisao o sebi, pa ću danas malo.
Počeo sam se mijenjati, ali na pozitivno.
Zadnjih 6 i pol godina bio sam u lošem stanju.
Bio sam tužan i imao sam problema.
Ali jučer, nakon 6 godina problem se počeo rješavati.
I odmah sam primijetio promjene na sebi.
Nekako mi se ne da više biti loše volje.
Uživao sam u imidžu namrgođenog, mrzovoljnog.
Ali što sam mislio? Da će ljudi to voljeti.
Živcirao sam namjerno ljude oko sebe.
Kad kažem ljudi, mislim na obitelj.
Ali istina je da to nitko nije volio, pa sam stalno ulazio u svađe.
Bilo kako bilo, od jučer (ili danas) osjećam želju da budem dobar prema drugima (možda sad mislim i šire od obitelji) i želim otjerati ružne navike.
U ponedjeljak počinje novi semestar i sad ću imati potpuno nove predmete (obično se kaže još i profesore, ali to mi nekako nije btino) i tome se jako veselim. Prvi semestar bilo je prilagođavanje na novu okolinu, ali sad (pogotovo nakon što sam riješio problem) osjećam se slobodnije, kao da sam nosio križ kroz sve ove godine uz strmu planinu. Posrtao, padao, doživljavao razne padove (obično se kaže još i uspone, ali sad mislim na posljedice problema tj. križa), ali bio sam uporan i nisam htio odustati. Nisam vidio vrh planine, ali znao sam da će vrh doći. Da ću jednog dana moći skinuti križ kad dođem na vrh. Možda sam po prirodi jednostavno optimističan i vjerujem kako svakom problemu postoji rješenje. Vjerojatno ću pasti ispit koji sam jučer pisao, ali ne osjećam nikakvu gorčinu. Znam da će jednog dana sve biti u redu. Zapravo, sad je već sve u redu u mom životu, samo sam mislio na taj jedan ispit koji je ostao. Nema veze, jer ja VjJERUJEM da ću ga proći na idućem roku.
Došlo je proljećei i to me nekako puno više veseli ove godine nego zadnjih 6 godina. I na kraju, ne mogu odoljeti a da ne kažem nešto o R.E.M.-u
Dakle, ova pjesma i spot koji su na početku posta se zove "I'll take the rain" i to je bio singl sa albuma "Reveal". Nažalost, nije dobro prošao taj singl na top-listama. Prije sam možda bio čuo samo isječak te pjesme na internetu, pa sam mjesecima nakon toga živio u uvjerenju kako je ta pjesma loša i kako mi se ne sviđa. Jučer sam iz čista mira odlučio (prvi put) pogledati spot za kojeg sam čuo da je netko rekao da je jako dobar na Youtubeu i nisam mogao vjerovati kako je ta pjesma dobra, možda najbolja s cijelog albuma (pored Imitation of life). Danas sam počačkao internetom i doznao da većina fanova ne voli ovu pjesmu i neki ih ćak svrstavaju u top 5 najgorih pjesama od R.E.M.-a. Meni to nikako nije jasno jer je pjesma jako lijepa i ima lijep tekst. Zato molim vas, RECITE da je dobra. I zbog nje mi je Reveal postao najbolji ikad album od R.E.M.-a. Naravno da ne bi bio najbolji samo zbog jedne pjesme, nego ima još 5 pjesama koje su dobre, ali možda je ta pjesma bila karika koja je nedostajala.
