Song of the Week

Hey! I’m here with the new Song of the Week(s)!!!!And yes, there is going to be two. This week I found a whole bunch of new, amazing music, and I couldn’t narrow it down to one song. So, the two songs are “Say (All I Need)” by One Republic, and “I Love Rock and Roll” by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I first heard ‘Say’ in a Twilight music video, and it was just such an amazing song. The lyrics are iffy as a parallel to Twilight, but I LOVE the sound of it, if that makes any sense. As for “I Love Rock N Roll”, I’m going through a Joan Jett phase right now. And no, of course that doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with the fact that KStew’s going to playing her *wink wink*. Some other amazing songs that I ‘found’ this week and that I strongly recommend for you guys to check out are: “Lullaby” by the Spill Canvas, a very sweet, romantic, soft, and lilting . . . . well, lullaby; “What About Now” by Chris Daughtry; “Shakin’” by Rooney, just a cool song; “Breathe” by Angels & Airwaves, a song that is really Twilight-y and reminds me of when I very first read the book, it just has that sound, and it touches me; and “Jai Ho” by the Pussycat Dolls. I have to give a shout out here to Megan for introducing me to the song “Jai Ho”, because it is such a freaking awesome song. It’s Bollywood and dance-y and cool. I love it. Oh, and BTW, “Jai Ho” won the Oscar for Best Song. Just a little fun fact.

Lyrics:

"Say (All I Need)"

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and
Your best look
You're praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it

“I Love Rock N Roll” by Joan Jett and the Black Hearts

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
