Song of the Day
No reason for this one, just one I love:
Kokomo by the Beach Boys
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Jamaica
Off the florida keys
Theres a place called kokomo
Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
Well be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo
To martinique, that monserrat mystique
Well put out to sea
And well perfect our chemistry
By and by well defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo
Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse
Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
*sits on beach and relaxes*
Mindy, of Kiss My Code, did the current theme (check it out), and man, oh man, I adore it. It totally suits me, and since I’m seriously considering just smooshing TM2TS and TWOOD into one site (just making it easier on myself, but keeping the domain for when the wedding gets closer, XD), this works out perfectly!!
But, come on, admit it!! It’s gorgeous, ain’t it?
Oh, don’t forget about the contest going on!! So far, sawcat‘s in the lead with 2. Anyone wanna knock her out of the running?
Music
Last post for today, I swear,
Music has a strong grasp on my soul. There are songs on my playlist that are guaranteed to make me cry:
Alyssa Lies – Jason Michael Carroll
Skin – Rascal Flatts
There are songs guaranteed to transport me back in time:
Basket Case – Green Day … it’s the first day of 6th grade, and VJ’s singing it as annoyingly as possible
Hero – Enrique Iglesias … we’re (Josh and I) standing in the parking lot of Grace’s apartment, and Josh is dancing with me, whispering the lyrics in my ear
In The End / Crawling – Linkin Park … I’m in the car, hearing about 2 towers getting slammed with planes (I heard one in the shower, and the other on the way to class)
There are songs that make me wish my wedding was tomorrow:
One Boy, One Girl – Collin Raye
The songs that make me wanna just bust out and dance always make Josh crack up:
Glamorous – Fergie
Call Me When You’re Sober – Evanescence
Some just make me think of my wonderful aunt, whom I don’t get to see enough:
Keep The Candle Burning – Point of Grace
Red Letters – dcTalk
Some just make me giggle with glee:
Miracles Happen – Myra … I love the Princess Diaries
I Dare You to Move – Switchfoot … A Walk to Remember is my “I need a good cry movie”
Cry – Mandy Moore … even the video makes me cry, but makes me appreciate my love
So, what songs touch your heart? Which ones are guaranteed to make you smile?
Now, a little game:
I’m gonna randomize 10 songs (already happens anyway), and post a line, and then you guess!! The one who gets the most correct gets a free month at Sigs ‘n More.
Please don’t cheat. I mean I can’t stop you, but that wouldn’t be fair, though, would it?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no…
When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
U Got It Bad – Usher
–Megan- I’m gonna clean the house
I’m gonna fix the fence
In my final hours
I’m gonna tie up these loose ends I’ve heard all the stories
I’ve seen all the signs
Witnessed all the glory. Yeah
Tasted all that’s fine
Nothing Compares – Third Day
–KellieWe both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Every Rose Has It’s Thorn – Poison
SkyI hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
Martina McBride / Ms. Womack (I can’t spell, XD) – I Hope You Dance
–sawcatI keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
Ive got one for every selfish thing I do
In The Light – dcTalk
–MeganI like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you’re not there
I Love The Way You Love Me – JMM or Boyzone
–SkyDum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de de da da.
Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de da da, la la la.
Well, I walk into the room passin’ out hundred dollar bills.
An’ it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grille.
Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy
–sawcatThere are days when I feel
The best of me is ready to begin.
Then therere days when I feel
Im letting go and soaring on the wind.
On My Knees – Jaci Velasquez
SkyI wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last nights bed
Blaze of Glory – Bon Jovi
–sawcat
Song of the Day
If You’re Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins
Well you know those times
When you feel like there’s a sign there on your back
Says I don’t mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You’d think they can’t get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
And you don’t know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you
That’s when you learn the truth
If you’re going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If you’re scared, don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I’d fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah
But the good news
Is there’s angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one’s that you’ve been dragginig for so long
You’re on your knees
You maight as well be praying
Guess what I’m saying
If your going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If you’re scared don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Yeah, If you’re going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there
If you’re going through hell
Keep on going, don’t slow down
If your scared don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows your there
Yeah, If your going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there
Yeah, you might get out
Before the devil even knows your there.
–Early, but oh well,
