Owl City - Hello Seattle

Because it’s a rainy day, which reminds me of Seattle, which reminds me of the 2003 road trip (Spokane-Seattle-Bellingham). Perfecto.

Julian Casablancas - ”11th Dimension”

“Everybody sees me but it’s not that easy/ standing in the light field waiting for some action.” This line, accompanied by what sounds like a 14 year old Iron Maiden freak attempting the Batman theme song on the bass guitar, begins “Juicebox,” the first single released from The Strokes’ First Impressions of Earth. And what was my first impression of First Impressions?

I am never going to listen to this band again.

It’s a claim on which I’ve made good. Knowing that First Impressions exists has been enough for me to turn my back on the truly great Is This It? and it’s very listenable (from what I remember) sister, Room on Fire. Like walking in on your girlfriend and a tearful, naked Glenn Beck in your bedroom, First Impressions was enough to not only dump the band, but burn the photo album filled with memories from that great vacation you took to Honolulu. I have guiltily viewed their recent demise with gleeful spite. My initial reaction to the news that frontman Julian Casablancas was releasing a solo record: scoff. My initial reaction to its title (Phrazes for the Young): a Monty Burns laugh. My initial reaction to its first single, “11th Dimension:” unadulterated awe.

The drums keep the song poppy and light while the synths bounce around in the foreground. The tasteful Strokesy guitars know their place behind Julian, who returns to full-yearning precocious punk mode. The lyrics are still stupid, but I’m dancing too much to care. C’mon girl, I forgive you for the whole Glenn Beck thing. Come back to me. I’ll take you with open arms.

Quelqu’un m’a dit (Someone Told Me)” by Carla Bruni

TRANSLATION:

I’m told that our lives aren’t worth much,
They pass like an instant, like wilting roses.
I’m told that time slipping by is a bastard
Making its coat of our sorrows.
Yet someone told me…

That you still loved me
Someone told me…
That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?

I’m told that fate makes fun of us,
That it gives us nothing and promises everything,
When happiness seems to be within our reach,
We reach out and find ourselves like fools.
Yet someone told me…

That you still loved me
Someone told me…
That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?

Well ? Could that be possible?

So who said that you still loved me?
I don’t remember any more, it was late at night,
I can still hear the voice, but I can no longer see the face,
“He loves you, it’s secret, don’t tell him I told you.”
You see, someone told me

That you still loved me
Did someone really tell me?
That you still loved me
Well, could that be possible?

I’m told that our lives aren’t worth much,
Passing in an instant, like wilting roses,
I’m told that time slipping by is a bastard,
Making its coat of our sadnesses.

That you still loved me
Someone told me…
That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?

Hey There Delilah - Plain White T’s

Hey there Delilah

What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension.

I’m really craving some new Strokes, but until then I guess the lead single from Julian Casablancas’s solo debut will have to do.

Lenka - Knock Knock

A second, a minute, an hour
A day goes by
I’m hoping just to be by your side
I’m turning the handle, it won’t open
Don’t make me wait
‘Cause right now I need your smile…
Knock knock
When life has locked me out
I turn to you
And you open the door
‘Cause you’re what I need right now it’s true…
Nothing works like you
Little louder, little louder, little louder
A warm bath, a good laugh, an old song
That you know by heart
I’ve tried it, but they all leave me cold
So now I’m here waiting to see you
My remedy
For all that’s been hurting me…
Knock knock
You seem to know the way
To turn my frown upside down
You always know what to say
To make me feel like everything’s okay
When life has knocked me down, I turned to you
And you opened the door…

The Verve -The Drugs Don’t Work

4 hours traffic jam. Small car that fits only the four of us filled with cigarettes smoke. Stale, outdated and silly conversations. You and me both tugging each others’ heart strings. Then you sang this song in the middle of boredom, amidst the honking and the roaring of vehicles’ machines. Softly, dramatically, passionately.

That was what? 3-4 years ago? When you’re still breathing the same air that I breathe. When you’re still laughing and living and dreaming. When I still crave for your attention and your heart. When I still thought you were the one for me, the boy of my dreams, the man I want to spend the rest of my life.

Illusions, it were. We both know you and I could never be together. You were a good friend, my guardian, the one that brought up my smile. And now in heaven you are. Shining on everybody you love on earth. I hope I’m one of them. If I were to have a chance to talk to you again now, the stories I’d tell would span for days and days. I’m happy now, not so lonely anymore. Not so hopeless anymore. He’s good to me, maybe better than you were, but I still miss you. We all miss you.

Will I see your face again?

Lenka - Dangerous and Sweet

“I should put on my armor, the next time I see you so I won’t be harmed.
But I know I can shoot my own arrows. I’m sorry I hurt you
I know that like me you can be oversensitive.”

I feel like somehow this song speaks my mind much. I’m oversensitive at times, and yes we think we speak casually, but we never know how often we hurt someone’s heart.

I’m sorry if I’ve ever hurt you. I never mean to.
