Hey guys! I have covered Lana Del Rey's beautiful track "Video Games".
I love her voice and this song. Anyway, it is one of my first few recordings. I always had that itch to sing; so here it is. Hope you like it. Hit the link below to hear it. Thanks.
Nada Surf is a lesser known American alternative rock band, that has produced nothing but beautiful songs.
Here is one that I am really fond of. Feelings of a new beginning, after a rather sad ending of a certain phase in one's life, after absorbing the fact that wrong was done and allowing others to help; the start of a new era in one's life is described in Beautiful Beat.The excitement, the happiness, the over-whelming feeling.
If not the words, then the tune of the track will definitely make you hope for a beautiful life ahead; it will make you, smile. Indulge!
"Beautiful Beat"
Leave me alone, and there'll be
No one to get hurt
Nobody move and there'll be
Nothin' to disturb
The sum of it all is that you
Don't know where to turn
Despite all your promises you
Don't keep what you learn
Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress
Sometimes all i want is another
Drink or another pill
If i could get anything done
Maybe I'd hold still
I'm trying to levitate I'm
Trying to leave the ground
Tryin' to remember when i could
Fix anything with sound
Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I want to redirect myself with you
Do you understand?
Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress
(Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat lift me up from distress)
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that it can
I gotta reinvent myself for you
Can i be your man?
I believe our love can save me
Have to believe that i can
I wanna redirect myself with you
'Cause you understand
Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress
I love the band Death Cab For Cutie for the metaphors that they use in their lyrics and the way they write about the small things, little moments that affect us more than anything that is big and obvious. Hence, I love writing about their songs, spreading the word around, letting all know how wonderful music and lyrics can be. This particular song Photobooth has one of the best lyrics I have come across. Of course, there are a lot better songs, but then, the one that touches you at the right time, becomes dear to you, doesn't it?
I remember when the days were long,
And the nights when the living room was on the lawn.
Constant quarreling, the childish fits, and our clothes in a pile on the ottoman.
All the slander and double-speak
Were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean
Anything but the blatant proof was your lips touching mine in the photobooth.
Still from A Lot Like Love
And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will put your hard heart away.
You were so condescending..
And this is all that's left:
Scraping paper to document.
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.
Cup your mouth to compress the sound,
Skinny dipping with the kids from a nearby town.
And everything that I said was true,
As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth.
Well, I lost track, and then those words were said.
You took the wheel and you steered us into my bed.
Soon we woke and I walked you home,
And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love.
And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left:
Scraping paper to document.
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.
And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending,
As the alcohol drained the days.
And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left:
The empty bottles, spent cigarettes.
So pack a change of clothes, 'cause it's time to move on.
