A Song No One Would Expect Me to Love

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love

People underestimate me a lot. They think I'm weaker than I am. They are always surprised when they find out I'm a tough tomboyish person. It's probably because I'm just quiet all the time. A song that most people (except for my friends) would be surprised to find out I love is Sick of It by Skillet.



 
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!


When everything you do
Don't seem to matter.
You try but it's no use
Your world is getting blacker.


When every time you fail
Has no answer.
Every empty promise made
Is a reminder.


No one can make this better
Take control, it's now or never!


Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance.
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...


If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!


Every single day
I chase my own tail
Like a rat inside a maze
Gotta get, gotta get, get away


I'm running out of time
For me to break this.
I'm tired of feeling like
I'm never gonna make it.


No one can make this better
Take control, it's now or never!


Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance.
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...


If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!


I'm tired of it
I'm over it
I'm bored of it


Gotta fix this
I'm sick of it!


Raise your hands
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Raise your hands
If you're sick
If you're sick of it


Sick of it!
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance.
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...


Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!


Get rid of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!



Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...


Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it


Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it


Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it


If you're sick of it
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it

A Song That's a Guilty Pleasure

Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

It was difficult to think of a song that could qualify as a "guilty pleasure" for me. A guilty pleasure is something that you enjoy that you know you shouldn't and wouldn't like anyone to know that you do. I don't have that philosophy about life. If it's wrong, I don't like it. I'm not self-righteous or anything, it's just my natural bent. So I thought I couldn't find anything, but then I remembered this song, Mamma Mia. I hate it. I love it. I love the way it sounds, it's really quite a fun song... but the message is... yeah, I don't like the message. But I still can't help liking it!








I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh


Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.


I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh


Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye doesn't mean forever


Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

A Song From a Band I Hate

Day 12 - A song from a band you hate

You know what band I love to hate? One Direction. Little Sister and I love making "Wrong Direction" jokes. They don't even make sense, really. If someone says "Oops, I'm going in the wrong direction" we'll be like "you mean, One Direction?" Honestly, I don't have anything against their music. It's just the way girls swoon, and the way they end up as girl's wallpapers and the fact that they're a boy band. But otherwise, I'm sure they're fine, and I don't mind the songs I have heard by them. So the song I'm choosing is What Makes You Beautiful.

A Song From My Favorite Band

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

I had trouble answering this prompt. The problem was in deciding which band was my favorite. No, it wasn't that I had to sift through the hundreds of bands that I listen to - only two came to my mind. None of the other group comes close. But to have to pick between Owl City and Switchfoot... now that's a problem. After some discussion with Little Sister, I've decided to go with Switchfoot, because overall I've known them the longest and seen more of their concerts and they feel more like a band, where as Owl City is a single person in my mind. To clarify, though, both are my favorites. Their songs are inspiring to both my life and my artistic style. Their beliefs and what they have to say are also inspiring and reflect my own beliefs, and I listen to as many of both of their songs as possible, and love just about every single one. I'll choose one of Switchfoot's newest songs, Fading West.






Fading West with you
Fading West with you


The sun goes down for the summer
Mirror sky for the water
I am fading westward too
Fading west with you


Life won't sing like I want it
The traffic post modern sonic
The traffic hums a dirty tune
Fading West with you


Heading back to the west coast
Where I'm from
I'm heading back to the left coast
Where I belong.
California's calling me back home
Fading West with you


Keep my mind over matter
Cause I've seen my hopes shatter
They told me lies I thought were true
Fading West with you


The sun goes down
We were already going


Heading back to the west coast
Where I'm from
I'm heading back to the left coast
Where I belong.
California's calling me back home
Fading West with you


When I'm out on my own
Feel like I'm caving in
When you leave me alone
I start to wonder
Where have I been
Where have I been


Heading back to the west coast
Where I'm from
I'm heading back to the left coast
Where I belong.
California's calling me back home
Fading West with you


Fading West with you
Fading West with you

A Song that Makes Me Fall Asleep

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

Although I don't think a song has ever made me fall asleep just because it was playing, one song is good at making me feel ready for bed. That is the song You Are Mine by Go Fish.





Your busy day is at an end
It's time to go asleep again
Before your dreams take you away
Hear me when I say

You are mine, I will never leave you
I will see you through the night and be here in the morning
Close your eyes and have a good time dreaming
Knowing you will never be alone because you are mine

Everyday I see you grow
And as you do I hope you'll know
That time brings change and that's okay
Because one thing will remain

You are mine, I will never leave you
I will see you through the night and be here in the morning
Close your eyes and have a good time dreaming
Knowing you will never be alone because you are mine

It's time to sleep so close your eyes
And let the starts shine from the sky
From up above God is watching you
And singing to you, he's singin'...

You are mine, I will never leave you
I will see you through the night and be here in the morning
Close your eyes and have a good time dreaming
Knowing you will never be alone because you are mine

A Song I Can Dance To

Day 9 - A song that you can dance to

I don't dance. Not really. Little Sister ends up making fun of me if I do. So dancing's one thing I don't do in front of other people. One song, however, Church Clap by KB and Lecrae, I can dance to and still feel pretty cool. Little Sister doesn't make fun of me when I dance to this one.
