Covet A Brainy Tune

Ani DiFranco - Hearse

God, this woman is amazing. A true inspiration.

LYRICS:

I don’t want to strive for nothing anymore,
I just want to lie here with you,
keep the wolves outside the door,
there is nothing in this world you could ever show me that could ever matter more.

Little baby
in the next room dreaming,
is just icing on the cake,
there is nothing like dancing,
a dance of give and take,
one step forward,
one step sideways,
a helpless feeling,
when the earth shakes.

I will always be your lover,
even after our atoms are dispersed,
we will be pushing up daisies,
and my crush will just be getting worse,
I will follow you into the next life,
like a dog chasing after a hearse.

I just don’t want to strive for nothing anymore,
I just want to lie here with you,
Keep the wolves outside the door,
There is nothing in this world you could ever show me that could ever matter more…

Hark the herald angels sing
but not for us my dear
I can’t recall a single thing
worth celebrating this year

‘TIS THE SEASON! Dan Romer and I wrote this xmas song together a few years ago. 

“Things We Don’t Need Anymore” on iTunes!

Join me on Dec. 14th for an online holiday StageIt show!

I suggest you get this song, fairly immediately.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting this song, but I believe it coincides perfectly with a poem (a litany, to be specific) about same-sex marriage that I just wrote for my writing class. Similar to the style of Tegan and Sara songs, this is a deceivingly happy-sounding song with dark subject matter. Good stuff.

This video is, in no way, shape or form, safe for the work place. Or for sensitive ears.  But it did cause me and my friends to LOL uncontrollably, so I feel that I’m basically required by internet law to share it with you.

Now I also need to “get some f@#$ing rest, ‘cause it’s the best day ever tomorrow.”

that is EXACTLY what goes through Janet’s head every day…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.

BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN.

Holy wonder bread, Batman! I think this has just changed my life.

I have no idea how much the world sucks, ‘cause I have no reference level.

When I Get Up - Tegan and Sara

I don’t need company in the company of you
And I don’t need love, your love will do
I’ve got you, and you’ve got me
And that’s all you need

I’m mushy today :3


Brave Sir Robin

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin


He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin

His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off
And his penis…
Well that’s enough music for now, lads…


Brave Sir Robin ran away - No!
Bravely ran away, away - I didn’t!
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled - No!
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin


Street Song - Sylvia Plath

By a mad miracle I go intact
Among the common rout
Thronging sidewalk, street,
And bickering shops;
Nobody blinks a lid, gapes,
Or cries that this raw flesh
Reeks of the butcher’s cleaver,
Its heart and guts hung hooked
And bloodied as a cow’s split frame
Parceled out by white-jacketed assassins.

Oh no, for I strut it clever
As a greenly escaped idiot,
Buying wine, bread,
Yellow-casqued chrysanthemums -
Arming myself with the most reasonable items
To ward off, at all cost, suspicions
Roused by thorned hands, feet, head
And that great wound
Squandering red
From the flayed side.

Even as my each mangled nerve-end
Trills its hurt out
Above pitch of pedestrian ear,
So, perhaps I, knelled dumb by your absence,
Alone can hear
Sun’s parched scream,
Every downfall and crash
Of gutted star,
And, more daft than any goose,
This cracked world’s incessant gabble and hiss.
