WEEK 3 - Just a Thought
JUST A THOUGHT - Gnarls Barkley
[Verse]
All I want is your understanding
As in the small act of affection
"Why is this my life?"
Is almost everybody's question
[Hook]
And I've tried
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind
[Verse]
I prefer peace
Wouldn't have to have one word of possession
But essentially I'm an animal
So just what do I do with all the aggression?
[Hook]
Well I've tried
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind
[Verse]
Life is a one-way street, and if you could paint it
I'd draw myself going in the right direction
So I go all the way - like I really really know -
But the truth is I'm only guessin'
[Hook]
And I've tried
Everything but suicide
Oooh but it's crossed my mind
Just a thought
[Verse]
It's even dark in the daytime
It's not just good - it's +Great Depression+
When I was lost I even found myself
Looking in the gun's direction
[Hook]
And so I've tried
Everything but suicide
But yes - it's crossed my mind
But I'm fine
I decided to put this song on my livejournal because it is fukn sweet. This is a great song with great lyrics and whenever i listen to it it always gets me thinking. Nothing bad but just gets me thinking. DJ Dangermouse is very good and i recommend lots of his stuff to anyone. Im sure you all like the Gorillaz.
i often think that music is the poetry of today and it really one of the best ways to express yourself in the modern world. Some musicians have wonderful words which mean so much to listeners and it is this similarity to poetry which i relaly enjoy. Often i just find myself listening to the words rather than the beat and this is generally what attracts me to a song. I can empathise with the composer of a song or just enjoy the concept of what the messagethey are trying to get across. This is also what attracts me to poetry, the fact that a writer can put so much emotion into words that flow so beautifully. The imagery from poetry is the key for me and Blake does this without a flaw.
