Ted's Song of the Week - 4/01/06

In the Shadows

I know my weekly segment is getting a little behind, so please forgive the inconsistency. Fortunately, I'm starting to get some things in my life squared away, so this means a higher volume of posts that you may or may not enjoy. With that said, I will introduce my latest song of the week.

I've had "In the Shadows" in my music library for quite some time, but hadn't listened to it for awhile. It just so happened that the shuffle function on my itunes brought this gem back to my attention.

Clocking in at just over four minutes, "In the Shadows" blends a catchy chorus with a background that would make Ace of Base slightly envious. Singer Lauri Ylönen sounds like Justin Timberlake with a cold, but this actually sounds alright. Overall, this is top shelf pop-rock.

The Rasmus - In the Shadows



Lyrics:
No sleep
No sleep until I am done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes
I feel I going down and so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

In the shadows

In the shadows

They say
That i must learn to kill before i can feel safe
But I
I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

Lately I been walking walking in circles, watching waiting for something
Feel me touch me heal me, come take me higher

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
I've been watching
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been living for tomorrows

In the shadows

In the shadows
I've been waiting
