It's a Lyric's thing...

Seems I have been tagged by Fiona Carson Photography...

I only tagged FIVE people too - not six like the last one says - oh well..

Here are the rules!
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 songs you are embarrassed to admit to others you like and tell why.
3. Tag 5 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Now I have added links to both the songs to listen and the lyrics to read cause I realise not all of my ashamed to love songs may be known by you.. So have a listen and tell me what you think??




Share 5 songs you are embarrassed to admit to others you like and tell why.


1. It's Too Late (Ride On) - Evermore.... I just like the piano and guitar riff - and I guess the lyrics too - haahaha... Oh god and apparently it was on the O.C. soundtrack - haahahaha..

2. Yellow - Coldplay (actually their whole first album - Parachutes) - It got me through a bad break up and every time I hear it now it reminds me of how much it helped me (even though I don't like Coldplay - and it isn't really a breakup song hahaha).. Actually you have to read the lyrics to really get it...

3. Swiss Army Romance - Dashboard Confessional.. Adding this song here made me realise I only know the MTV unplugged version... Do I dare listen to the original version in case it ruins this version for me? I mean come on it's an EMO band singing an EMO song.. I think what is even worse about me liking this "EMO" band is that they are an EMO band for the good kids.. Know what I mean.. They are clean cut EMO, no PUNK or pretend PUNK insight :( But damn it people read the lyrics...


4. Love Me or Hate Me - Lady Sovereign... Not the best hip hop artist out there but she's young and sassy and I like that.. Again this one is more about the lyrics so read them...

Ps - does anyone find if funny that who ever wrote the lyrics on that website censored shit but left fuck intact? Like fuck isn't a swear word - hahahaaha


5. Memories & Dust AND Middle of the Hill (I actually like the alternate video better) - Josh Pyke.. Ok I couldn't choose - maybe my 5th choice should have just been JOSH PYKE... I wouldn't tell MY friends about this because previously I have bagged him as boring and well I think that is what all my friends think too, Fona is the only one I know I could tell without any repercussions ;).. Then one day I actually read the lyrics to his songs - and guess what - they took on a whole new meaning to me.. Now I actually like his music - it's simplicity and innocence, maybe I am getting older - or turning into an Indie kid... Let's face it - he has a beautiful voice..

Ok, so 6 quirks of mine, here we go.

1. I LOVE recommending books to people - I am so passionate in getting them to read the books I love.... BUT I really am not good at reading books that are popular and recommended to me. For instance The Da Vinci Code - only read it this year (also only saw the movie this year too - within a week of each other hahhaah)

2. Following on from this one.. I LOVE finding new Authors to read, exploring new worlds genre's and so on.. BUT I am really reluctant to read something when I don't know the quality of toe writing - what if it is a waste of time (don't EVER read Sliver - Ira Levin)

3. Most of my all time favourite movies I have only ever seen once.. At the cinema and never again. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Pan's Labyrinth are two I can think of... While I always go to watch them I just never quite manage too - who knows maybe I am scared it won't have the same effect on me or what have you..

4. I play with my piercings waaaaay too much. People must think I pick my nose all the time when in fact I am just turning around the ring.. My lip piercing too - I bite it (it's too long) from the back; I pull it from the front... I am weird

5. I love cooking but never have dinner parties. I think it might be cause my table is outside and well the lights don't work - we need an electrician around to fix the "transistor" I think it is.. I end up cooking mainly at my sister's (Fiona) house - wish they had my kitchen though...

6. I have a dream guy.... Every now and then I dream (always different dreams) about this guy. I always wake up aching from the loss of him. As far as I can remember this dream guy is no one I have ever met. I doubt he even exists... But what I love most about this dream guy is that he isn't Mr Perfect, in my dreams we have been broken up, he's been drunk (apparently in one dream I was a recovering alcoholic). He has been with other women (not while we were together but while we were at a wedding of a mutual friends together but platonic together) and blah blah blah.. Yet I have always loved him and he has always loved me too... I have NO idea when these started but I can remember having them for a long time. I had 3 dreams with him in them a few weeks ago in one night and I finally could remember what he looked like.. But I have forgotten - it's just a memory of a memory... Wow how weird has that made me sound...
