s2309Day 11 - A song from your favourite band
Bands!! As usual, I can't pick just one, so here's my two absolute favourites :D
Hurts
This band is yet another reason why I'm so happy to be in the White Collar fandom. I heard Illuminated by Hurts in the background of a Neal/Sara vid and immediately fell in love. It's beautiful and haunting and brilliantly walks that fine line between happy and angsty.
The video I've embedded below is a live version because that's the only one they have on their official channel. I would have linked to a lyric video, but OMG, that live version is absolutely gorgeous. If you want to listen to the original studio version, the Neal/Sara vid I linked to above should do the trick :).
Time waits for no one,
So do you want to waste some time,
Oh, oh tonight?
Don't be afraid of tomorrow,
Just take my hand, I'll make it feel so much better tonight.
Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus, oh.
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding.
Swing me these sorrows
And try delusion for a while.
It's such a beautiful lie.
You've got to lose inhibition -
Romance your ego for a while.
Come on, give it a try.
Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus, oh.
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding.
We are, we are, blinded,
We are, we are, blinded. [x2]
Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus, oh,
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding
We are, we are, blinded,
We are, we are, blinded.
Seether
I have absolutely no idea why I like this band. It's a rock band, the lead singer growls more than he sings (for the most part), this isn't my usual kind of music. But beyond the growling, there's music that comes from emotion. I can feel it. That's why I love them.
It was so difficult to pick a song by them, omg. No Jesus Christ has an incredibly sexy guitar beat, Pride reminds me a little bit of Neal, Sold Me has this crazy jumping-from-ear-to-ear guitar bit.
I'm gonna have to pick Master of Disaster. It's another song that vaguely but not quite makes me think of Neal. I think of this song as Promises.
Steal my sight and then
Fill my mind with foreign words
To keep me wanting
And speak now, child
And chill my heart with all the hurt
And keep me suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold-faced lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cruel promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
Be quick now, child
And soil my bed with all your dirt
Just keep me suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold-faced lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cruel promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
Don’t let me sleep, take me back
But don’t let me be comfortable
If I get too weak (please let me feel my way home)
Cut no slack, and don’t let me be comfortable
Don’t let me sleep (please let me feel my way home)
Take me back, but don’t let me be comfortable
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cruel promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
If you say you’re alive (please let me feel my way home)
When you pray you’re alive
Oh you hate when I’m right (please let me feel my way home)
And you lay in the fire
