[public] this and that
one: Today is Brian McBride's 34th birthday. May he not need any stitches and be happy all day.
two: Why is it that, after having little tolerance for RPF since I first learned of its existence, the World Cup has filled me with not only the urge to read it but to write it as well?
three: Does anyone have any copies of national anthems for countries other than the USA that they'd be willing to upload via yousendit or sendspace for me? I kind of want to have all of the countries from the World Cup but there are 32 of them and that's a lot more than I want to buy from iTunes.
four: I give you all "Ashes" - Embrace. I have this because it was used in Veronica Mars but it has become my USA World Cup song. Lyrics and explanation behind the cut.
Verse 1
I've waited, and given the chance again,
I'd do it all the same, but either way
I'm always outplayed, up on your down days
I left it the right way, to start again
Chorus 1
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I've agreed
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I've agreed
Refrain
Verse 2
Out of place, like a gem on a coalface
Lost on the right way, it's all the same
'Cause I've had my hopes raised, riding the wrong waves
Scared when you feel safe to start again
Chorus 2
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, look how wrong I could be
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Awaaaaaaay
Chorus 3
Outro
I sink like a stone, I lost my control x3
It's a) the concept of rising from the ashes, b) being outplayed, and c) damn, I lost the last thing. If/when I remember it I will edit this. I might be insane and stretching this but whatever.
