Blue Orchid
The White Stripes
Get Behind Me Satan
This song explodes like a firecracker. I first heard it a few weeks ago and was instantly a fan. Jack White sheds any trace of his recent country dabblings to give the rock world a piece of his mind. Give it a listen if you want to get the adrenaline pumping.
Lyrics:
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try keep the truth from showing up
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
You're given a flower
But I guess there's just no pleasing you
Your lips tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever)
Kasabian
Kasabian
A great addition to any chill-out mix, "L.S.F." is good for the casual drive or simply as background music. This song, along with the rest of the album, has been in my regular rotation for the past couple weeks. Kasabian is a great new electronic-rock band who have listed their influences as Primal Scream, DJ Shadow, and the Beatles.
Lyrics:
I'm on it, get on it
The troops are on fire!
Ya know I need it, much closer
I'm treading just a little more
Step on it, electronic
The troops are on fire!
I'm much deeper, a sleeper
Waiting for the vinyl trip
Come on it, get on it
I'm carving thru a letterbomb
I need it, like potions
These drugs are just an hour away
Come on it, electronic
A polyphonic prostitute, the motor's on fire
Messiah for the animals
Ahhh, oh come on!
We got our backs to the wall!
Ah!
Get on!
And watch out!
Before you kill us all!
The Truth
Limp Bizkit
The Unquestionable Truth, Pt.1
Here's a band that has had considerable problems over the past couple years. Replacement guitarists, Durst's temper-tantrums, and the slow death of rap-metal have brought Limp Bizkit to its knees. However, there is still some life in this band. "The Truth" sounds like a cross between the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against The Machine after a long night of drinking. The instrumental portion is pretty solid and fairly catchy, but Durst somehow taints the song with his usual rants. Chronologically, this album should have been made sometime between "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all" and "Significant Other". A very raw and hard-hitting album. Too bad they had to wait so long to return to their roots.
Lyrics:
You can't sleep, you're restless
and slightly obsessed with falling too deep
and malfunction, you're a virus
who's intention is fucking up something
You're a crater
on the face of a problem much greater
It's the violence, or lack thereof control
Body and soul, digging a hole
Is the blood stainless?
Enjoy the pain with accepting your grief
Are you finished?
Dumb fucking question, don't let yourself fall asleep
Ressurect the intention
Once your vision is now mass-produced,
Imagine the insults a blessing
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
imagine accepting the truth
Just imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
The pendulum swinging
Hypnosis is taking control, now you linger
on a shadow of a doubt
Have you really figured what you're all about?
Don't trust your instincts
Just open the chamber where you keep those darkest regrets
All the things you've done wrong
Rebellious at heart all along
Is your leader a voice?
Somehow you replaced all your game with a debt
Now the payback's a bitch
Why owe your life to a bitch?
Absolutely pathetic
and regret it when told you are made of mistakes
Imagine the insults a blessing
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
imagine accepting the truth
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Now speak to your leader!
Now speak to your leader!
Your father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil
Your father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
imagine accepting the truth
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
An Honest Mistake
The Bravery
The Bravery
"An Honest Mistake" is possibly one of the most addictive songs of the year. I have found myself blasting this song repeatedly without suffering from overplay. The Bravery find themselves in good company as they join the ranks of the New Wave rock bands that have ruled the radio lately. The past couple years have spawned bands (The Killers, The Rapture, Franz Ferdinand) who have breathed new life into New Wave, and many of these groups have found success commercially. Therefore, It wouldn't surprise me if The Bravery become huge in the coming months.
Lyrics:
People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I f*** up and say these things out loud
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Betrayal
The Black Maria
Lead Us To Reason
"Betrayal" is a good listen for the heartbroken and bitter. With a sound similar to My Chemical Romance and Brand New, The Black Maria are a fledgling band with a lot of potential. This song took a little while to grow on me, but it turned out to be one of my favorites for the moment. Plus, I'm kind of a sucker for the occasional piano ending.
Lyrics:
I love you used to say
It's all in your head.
You're a paranoid picture,
You're a photograph...
Exposed by the light,
When you step outside,
Burnt by the sun,
That's in your eyes...
But when I saw it in my face,
In this mirror that needs to break,
Something bothered me and left me to feel...
Betrayal, Betrayal
It rips right through me
How you lie right to me
Betrayal, Betrayal
Will world make more sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...
It's on the cutting room floor
Footage of this mess,
Flimed then packaged and ready to sell...
Betrayal, Betrayal
It rips right through me
How you lie right to me
Betrayal, Betrayal
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...
You used to live in a memory
Now those pictures are burning...now
You're a memory,
A fingerprint on the film,
You're a shadow in the sun,
Now it's your time to burn...
Betrayal, Betrayal
It rips right through me
How you lie right to me
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...
One day, you'll coming crawling back
To the same place I've been
