Song of the Week

The new song of the week is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" by John Mayer. I'm not a huge huge fan of John Mayer (I could have lived very happily without ever hearing "Say"), but this song of his I absolutely love. It is entirely coincidence that this song was played on CSI in Season 7. It was where I first heard the song, but I didn't really hear it until I downloaded it in a Twilight fanmix. One of the items on my bucket list is to slow dance to this song sometime in my life.

This song kind of reminds me of early on in New Moon from Edward's POV. He has the mindset where it's never going to work and it's going to end badly, so this song is very appropriate for that. The song is also very melancholy and almost resolved to the situation, which DUH, is totally Edward.

Plus, this song has just been my mood lately.



I used a GSR video to the song because I couldn't find any vids of the song that weren't live. So, if you want, just ignore the visuals and the voiceovers.

Anyways, love the song to death, strongly recommend it, and all that.

Lyrics:


It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?

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

Song of the Week: Not Meant to Be

Wow! I’m actually on top of this!

So, this past week, there wasn’t really a song that popped out and hit me, but there was one new song I heard that was really really good, called “Not Meant to Be” by Theory of a Deadman. First of all, weird band name. Srsly, where do these names come from? So, I heard the song on the radio and liked it so much I downloaded it. It just had that *zing* that a good song has, y’know? The lyrics are at the bottom.

Also, there are two songs that are not new in my iTunes library, but which I shamefully had never listened to for some reason: “You are Mine” by Mute Math and “Everything” by Lifehouse. I have quite a few songs that, like these, are waiting for me to discover them. This is because I have a lot of songs that I downloaded in fanmixes and that type of thing, and unless I listen to the playlist right then and there, I forget to go back and check it out. The only reason I gave “You are Mine” a second glance is because it’s by Mute Math, and they have a song on the Twilight soundtrack, “Spotlight”. It plays when Edward and Bella get out of the Volvo and go into school as a couple for the first time. Yep, that’s when Edward has his omgsofreakingawesomeiwan’tsome sunglasses on. And he says the Hell quote. I would say it’s one of my favorite parts, but I say that about every part. Seriously, though, how can every part not be your favorite? I digress. “Everything” is supposedly the Smallville theme, or that’s what iTunes tells me. I, however, have never watched Smallville, and have no immediate plans to do so. Anyways, the song is just nice and smooth and lulling and somewhat calming. It’s not really a sing-a-long, but who cares? And in no way does it compare to the song of the same name by Michael Bublé. Nothing can compare to Michael B. Y’can’t touch this. And yes, I just quoted MC Hammer. Get over it.

Toodles!

“Not Meant to Be” by Theory of a Deadman

Lyrics courtesy of LyricsMode

It's never enough to say I'm sorry
It's never enough to say I care
But I'm caught between what you
Wanted from me, and knowing
If I give that to ya
I might just disappear.

Nobody wins when everyone's losing

Oh, it's like

One step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I can't change your mind,

Oh, it's like

Trying to turn around on a one way street
I can't give you what you want
And it's killing me and I, I'm starting to see
Maybe we're not meant to be

It's never enough to say I love you
No, it's never enough to say I try
It's hard to believe that's there's
No way out for you and me
And it seems to be,
The story of our life

Nobody wins when everyone's losing

It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I can't change your mind, oh

It's like trying to turn around on a
One way street. I can't give
You what you want and it's killing me
And I, I'm starting to see
That maybe we're not meant to be

There's still time to turn this around
Should we be building this up
Instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking
Maybe it's too late.

It's like one step forward
And two steps back,
No matter what I do
You're always mad
And I, can't change your mind, oh

It's like tryin to turn around
On a one way street
I can't give you what you want
And it's killing me and I,
I finally see,
Baby we're not meant to be

It's like one step forward,
And two steps back,
No matter what I do
You're always mad,
And I, Baby I'm sorry to see,
Maybe we're not meant to be

I Kiss a Wolf

I am NOT a huge Jacob fan. He's cool, and I wouldn't mind one of my own, but I'm Team Edward ALL THE WAY.

However, I found this video:



on Youtube, and it is SOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the lyrics:

This was always the way I planned

Yep, my intentions

Jake looked so brave, bold, hot man

Lost a little discretion

It’s not what I’m used to

Fire instead of ice,

I got a crush, all on you,

Ever since New Moon!

I kissed a wolf and I liked it!

Taste of his heated wolf lips,

I kissed a wolf, just to try it

I hope my Edward don’t mind it,

It felt so wrong, it felt so right

So much better than Edward in Twilight

I kissed a wolf and I liked it

I liked it!

No, unlike Edward, I like your smell

Hot, earth matter

You’re great compared to Mike Newton

He’s just got human nature

It’s not what good girls do,

Not when they are engaged!

Oh, I just can’t choose,

‘Cause this is Eclipse!

I kissed a wolf and I liked it!

Taste of his heated wolf lips,

I kissed a wolf, just to try it

I hope my Edward don’t mind it,

It felt so wrong, it felt so right

So much better than Edward in Twilight,

I kissed a wolf and I liked it

I liked it!

Those wolves, they’re great, all of the Pack

Hot skin, ripped bod, best from the back!

Paul, Quil, Embry, and Jacob Black

Too good to deny it

Ain’t not big deal, Edward ain’t here!

I kissed a wolf and I liked it!

Taste of his heated wolf lips,

I kissed a wolf, just to try it

I hope my Edward don’t mind it,

It felt so wrong, if felt so right

So much better than Edward in Twilight,

I kissed a wolf and I liked it

I liked it!

I swear, this is going to be my anthem.

Song of the Week

The new song-of-the-week is "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse,because I'm in a Twilight mood (when am I not?). Muse is pretty cool if you're into instrumental off-beat music. "Sing for Absolution" is my favorite on of theirs. Anyways, Supermassive is the song that plays during the baseball scene in the Twilight movie = bonus points!

P.S. Muse is one of Stephenie's 'inspiration' bands.

P.P.S. Hannah, this is the song that I couldn't remember. Told you I would figure it out!!!!

Lyrics:

Oh baby dont you know I suffer?
Oh baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?

You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
(You set my soul alight)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the 'supermassive'

I thought I was a fool for no-one
Oh baby I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth

You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
(You set my soul alight)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the 'supermassive'

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Dreamings . . .

So, I've been hearing about 'dream pairings' at different places online, like the 'Dream Team' for Twilight before Rob and Kris was Gaspard Uliel (sp?) and Emily Browning.

I got to thinking what my dream pairing would be, dream pairing meaning the best possible pairing of an actor and an actress. I don't really have roles in mind for them, but I think if Zac Efron and Kristen Stewart were paired together, it could be amazing. Zac has the possibility for mind-blowing chemistry, and so does Kristen, and if the two of them had chemistry TOGETHER it would SPECTACULAR. So yeah, that's my dream pairing.

Zac Efron <3 Kristen Stewart

Ta-da!!!!And it's really wierd because I saw today (online) that Kristen would not be presenting with Robert at the Oscars, but she might be presenting with Zac. I did NOT steal the idea. And no, this has nothing to do with the fact that I have an amazingly huge crush on Zac and Kristen has the same name as I do. Nothing at all. Really. : P

~Kristen

Twilight Pictures

Since I'm obsessed with Twilight now, here are some of the pictures from the movie:

I do have to say though, Edward/Rob's hair is a little crazy.

And I do think Kristen (my name!!!!!!) Stewart is perfect for Bella. She's pretty, but not drop down gorgeous.

And I FINALLY found out why Robert looks familiar. He was Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter.

Eeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!!!
