awesome music :)

So I am currently listening to "100 years" by Five For Fighting, and I seriously think it's one of THE best songs ever. It's got a decent piano part, too. At least at the beginning. And it's just a brilliant song altogether. And now it's over. Now I'm listening to "stay" by Lisa Loeb. She's also rather awesome, even though she's like forty. But that shouldn't be held against her, because she's one of the few artists out there today who actually sings her songs instead of yelling them into the recording device to the beat of a loud drum and some other stuff.

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.
And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong
'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
And you say
I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention
to the distance that you're running to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So I turned the radio on,
I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's in love, and the other's run away,
lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
Some of us hover when we weep for the other
who was dying since the day they were born.
Well, well, this is not that;
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.
And I thought I'd live forever,
but now I'm not so sure.
You try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow,
or anywhere with you.
You said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong,
'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I miss you.
You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you
and one day I'll let you go."
You try to give away a keeper,
or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose.
And you say,
"Stay."
And you say I only hear what I want to.

And I totally didn't just copy all that off the Internet at all... but it IS a good song. You have to hear some of her songs to hear just how rather awesome she is, because of the simple fact that she's not some crazy half-drunk singer trying to make music by yelling a lot and banging a drum-she's actually singing and she actually has something that sounds somewhat like backup music. It's rather awesome. Okay I'm done ranting about Lisa Loeb. In case you were wondering. But I have some more lyrics for you! Yes, they're Lisa Loeb Lyrics (alliteration is rather awesome). They're of "Truthfully." It's probably my favorite Lisa Loeb song ever. Here it is:

This isn't what I like to call flattery,
but I know that I believe that I've found what's true
that I've found what's you
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally
Truthfully you
you helped me find at last
Truthfully we
are finding out what's true
And truthfully I am finding out what's you
Surprise, cause I was flying the plane
Surprise, cause now I'm smiling again
Surprise, cause you showed up with your parachute
Surprise, I'm kind of happy you showed up
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally
Truthfully you
you helped me find at last
Truthfully we
are finding out what's true
And truthfully I am finding out what's you
Truthfully, I really can't explain,
I'm floating, I'm smiling again
Truthfully, I can't ignore you,
cause I've been waiting for you
Truthfully, I'm not desperate,
I haven't changed my mind since we first met
but the last thing I want to do
is tell you that I'm right for you
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally
Truthfully you
you helped me find at last
Truthfully we
are finding out what's true
And truthfully I am finding out what's you
I'm finding finally
Truthfully, I'm finding out what's you
I'm smiling again
Truthfully

And I totally didn't copy those lyrics off the Internet either! But whatever. I have to go do homework. Or rather, I have to go review geometry for a test tomorrow. And I have to review with my dad. And...yeah. So I have to go now. I'm leaving. Wait, dad's not done with whatever he's doing. And now he is. So I'm going.
