That Moment

All Things Music, Lyrics, , , , , , , ,

The club is so hot I’m sweating through my dress
And the musics too loud it’s beating in my chest
Singing and swaying to the songs that we hear
Nothing else matters as we cheer
Then the lights come on and closing time starts to play
I always knew tonight was going to end this way
In the Uber ride home my head starts to clear
That moment has come that moment I fear

And as soon as I’m through the front door
I am all alone once more
And no matter how happy I think I am
It all comes crashing down again
There’s no more audience no need for a show
Only the bad thoughts that no one can know

Champagne on ice dressed to the nines
The rounds keep coming all night
And as we pub crawl down the street
We wake people from their sleep
Singing and dancing and slurring our words
Ours the only voices that can be heard
But then someone decides to call it a night
And I feel the silence reach out and grip me tight

As soon as I’m through the front door
I am all alone once more
And no matter how happy I think I am
It all comes crashing down again
There’s no more audience no need for a show
Only the bad thoughts that no one can know

My walls are down I am defenceless
That voice so loud leaving me senseless
You’re all alone because they all hate you
You cannot be loved no one will date you
Sooner or later the voice is gone
It fades away at the brink of dawn
But the scars made can’t be fixed with a smile
It just holds it at bay for a little while

As soon as I’m through the front door
I am all alone once more
No matter how happy I think I am
It all comes crashing down again
There’s no more audience no need for a show
Only those thoughts that no one can know

Little Girl

All Things Music

There once was a little girl
Who knew what she wanted from the world
Her heart was open with nothing but hope
Hands full of the future she held
What happened to all that drive
To the fight you had inside
For everything you ever wanted
When did you feel it die

Get off your ass
Get out of bed
You need to pick yourself up
You need to get out of your own head
There’s no point in tomorrow
If you give up today
So pull yourself out of it
And get on your own way

What will your future hold
If your heart is dead and cold
How do you get up each day
Without that fight in your soul
You won’t get what you want by standing still
You won’t live you dream if you don’t climb that hill
Nothing changes if you stay the same
And there’s always a way so just find the will

Get off your ass
Get out of bed
You need to pick yourself up
You need to get out of your own head
There’s no point in tomorrow
If you give up today
So pull yourself out of it
And get out of your own way

You can hide all you like
But time will pass you by
Til you’re old and grey
And never lived a day in your life
But the girl you buried inside
She’s going the wither and die
If you don’t stop just waiting
If you don’t start to fight

Get off your ass
Get out of bed
You need to pick yourself up
You need to get out of your own head
There’s no point in tomorrow
If you give up today
So pull yourself out of it
And get out of your own way

All Things Music, Lyrics

I can’t open my eyes
Can’t remember his name
Where am I?
Am I to blame?
Dazed and confused
The words stuck in my mind
With quiet acceptance
All I want to do is hide.

My head is spinning
My phone in my hand
Following the bread crumbs
This didn’t go as planned.
The night was still young
But now it’s long gone
And this is all I remember
Prague’s cold at dawn.

It wasn’t my choice
Screaming on the inside
You swallowed my voice
How did I get here.
If I could remember
I’d want to forget
To start this September
All over again.

My head is spinning
My phone in my hand
Following the bread crumbs
This didn’t go as planned.
The night was still young
But now it’s long gone
And this is all I remember
Prague’s cold at dawn.

My memories were gone
They washed away
With my child like hope
I’ll remember this day.
There’s distance between us
To keep her at bay
To keep me from breaking
I’ll remember this day.

My head is spinning
My phone in my hand
Following the bread crumbs
This didn’t go as planned.
The night was still young
But now it’s long gone
And this is all I remember
Prague’s cold at dawn.

Panic! At The Disco

All Things Music

I just watched Panic! At The Disco doing a cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and I had to show you guys.

I don’t know about you, but I think they did an awesome job. Not even Queen used to do the crazy part towards the end when they played live. They would play the film clip of that part on a screen in the background.

When doing Bohemian Rhapsody live, the entire song, it’s either going to be a hit or a miss. Congrats to the Panic!
boys for doing an amazing job.

Canadian Love

All Things Music, , , ,

I thought would to share with you some of my favourite bands. Well, the Canadian ones at least, because I recently discovered that a lot of my favourite bands are from Canada. Here are the first songs I ever listened to from some of my Favourite Canadian bands.

Three Days Grace is from Ontario and here is their song ‘Are You Ready’. If you think you see Hilary Duff in there, you are not mistaken. I started listening to them after watching Raise Your Voice.

Simple Plan is from Montreal and this is their song ‘Addicted’. This isn’t technically their first song I heard. I first heard the is song ‘Vacation’ and the only copy I could find of that had parts of the movie New York Minute in it. Yes, I found this band while watching a teenage girl movie too, but in my defence, I was a teenage girl.

Marianas Trench is from Vancouver and this is ‘All To Myself’. I really liked this film clip, so I looked up the rest of their songs. I found this one myself. No girly movie required.

So how great is Canada, eh?

I knew that was lame as soon as I said it.

Queen

All Things Music,

I thought I might talk to you about, what is arguably the greatest band there ever was, Queen. What can one say about Queen? (the band in case you were wondering) Their songs are incredible. They are lyrical geniuses.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a master piece.

Then there’s Freddie Mercury. His connection with the crowd, his vocals, his energy. He draws people in, makes them want to listen.

The clip below is when Queen played at Wembley Stadium 11th of July 1986. They played Radio Ga Ga and he has the entire audience just hanging off his every word.

Let’s not forget the other members of Queen. Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon also played their part. A front man is nothing without his band members. Even after Freddie’s passing Brian May and Roger Taylor went on tour again recently, with the help of Adam Lambert.

I went to their concert and Adam may not be Freddie but he came as close as one could get and put on a great show.

I grew up listening to Queen’s greatest hits album and Bohemian Rhapsody is still a favourite in our house. Whenever it’s on my family and I yell out the lyrics at the top of our lungs. We get out the air guitars and everything.

What can one say about Queen? Only that they are amazing and it’s tragic that Freddie Mercury left us too soon.

Nickelback

All Things Music

I love music videos that have a story to it. Nickelback’s Someday is about a guy trying to get his girlfriend to stay but she’s determined to leave. She drives away and he follows her… right up until she crashes. She dies and then they are reunited because it turns he was dead all along. I like stories with a twist. There are clues along the way that hints something’s not right with him, have you questioning what’s going on.

If I ever get to make music videos, those are the ones I’ll make. Stories. Drama. Action. Plot twists. I think about what the music video would look like when I write lyrics.

I hope they get to be made.

January 1993

All Things Music

So it was my birthday today and I thought I’d post about what was happening in music when I was born.

The number one song at the time of my birth, according to take40.com, was Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You.

That song is amazing and spent 10 weeks at the top of the charts.

Something else that happened in music around the time I was born was on January 13 Bobby Brown was arrested for simulating a sex act on stage.

So not a lot happened.

Love
Roxanne
