Songs of the Week

A very diverse set of songs for this week with a few old favorite sneaking in as well.  I had a very eventful week so a lot of music got listened to so I could try to put things in perspective.

Songs Tally

32nd tally for All Time Low, 3rd tally for Forget About It

Forget About It - All Time Low

You know, there are some days where I feel like this could work, like, you and I are finally gonna get it right.  Then there are days like today, when you make me wanna tear my fucking hair out.

33rd tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for Break Your Little Heart

Break Your Little Heart - All Time Low

A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize.

3rd tally for Matchbook Romance, 3rd tally for Playing For Keeps

Playing For Keeps - Matchbook Romance

You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

37th tally for A Day to Remember, 3rd tally for Another Song About the Weekend

Another Song About the Weekend - A Day to Remember

Nobody can give so much and never get anything.  Everyone I used to know says they don't know what I've become, but I'm still the same, not much has changed, I still know where I came from.

5th tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for Choke on This

Choke on This - Senses Fail

Can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me.

6th tally for Senses Fail, 1st tally for Let It Enfold You

Let It Enfold You - Senses Fail

I'm just a bad actor stuck with a shitty script.  All of my lines are cheap and the cast is weak.

10th tally for The Lonely Island, 2nd tally for The Creep

The Creep - The Lonely Island

I was six years old when I starting creeping.  My parents took it to their room and I starting peeping.  You can't imagine their surprise when they lifted their heads and saw my little ass creeping at the foot of the bed.

3rd tally for Jimmy Eat World, 1st tally for Hear You Me

Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World

There's no one in town I know, you gave us some place to go.  I never said thank you for that.  I thought I might get one more chance.

16th tally for Simple Plan, 2nd tally for Can't Keep My Hands Off You

Can't Keep My Hands Off You - Simple Plan

Sorry to all my friends and to anyone I offend.  But I can't help it, no, I can't help it.

Songs of the Week

I suppose I can go back to doing these posts per week.  Blink-182 was probably the go-to artist for the week.  I have a song/band getting their first tally, which considering I've been doing this for over a year now, is kind of rare.  One of those songs that gets played in the background of a TV show and it really catches my attention, so I go out of my way to look it up.

Songs Tally

30th tally for All Time Low, 2nd tally for Do You Want Me (Dead?)

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty, but I'm smiling at everything.

10th tally for Childish Gambino, 4th tally for Freaks And Geeks

Freaks and Geeks - Childish Gambino

I have worked all winter, I will not fail summer, in the back of the bush like Gavin Rossdale's drummer.

11th tally for Childish Gambino, 3rd tally for Not Going Back

Not Going Back - Childish Gambino

I refuse to go back to not liking who I was.

46th tally for Blink-182, 9th tally for After Midnight

After Midnight - Blink-182

I can't get my feet up off the edge, I kind of like the little rush you get when you're standing close to death.

47th tally for Blink-182, 2nd tally for Don't Tell Me That It's Over

Don't Tell Me That It's Over - Blink-182

Most girls do mean trouble because they are rarely honest.

Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful.

2nd tally for Matchbook Romance, 2nd tally for Playing For Keeps

Playing For Keeps - Matchbook Romance

You're so good at pretending everything is alright. You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

1st tally for The Gabe Dixon Band, 1st tally for All Will Be Well

All Will Be Well - The Gabe Dixon Band

All will be well even after all the promises you've broken to yourself. All will be well. You can ask me how but only time will tell.

Song of the Day

     Matchbook Romance has never been a band I hugely followed, but I always liked the songs I did hear from them.  They have several tracks I find to be pretty damn awesome and today's song of the day, Playing for Keeps is one of them.  I couldn't tell you the last time I actually listened to this song, but for some reason while lying around today, its chorus was running through my head.  I like the way it just grabs you, from the opening chord and never lets go.
