And I never dreamed I'd be so happy that I could die



I looove all those Lana songs describing her teen years, they are so cute cute cute (nah, at least most of them, I'm not talking about "Boarding School"; it's a good one too but in another sense). Maybe their lyrics do not reach the level of literary value of "Big Eyes" or even "Yayo" but oh my gosh, they're so adorable and most of them really make me smile.

This song seems appropriate given the "media" attention Alizée always seems to get.



Quote:
As the blogger becomes the journalist the art form dies
They don’t have the sources anymore they just have Google finds
Referencing other websites as if they’re well sourced scriptures
Focused on getting their hits up not winning Pulitzers
Their journalism is lazy in the need to be first
I do more research than some of them when penning a verse
And you know how you are, we just believe it’s the truth
We just accept it as news instead of asking for proof

Don’t believe the hype machine, death of the Journalist

And it ain’t just the news reporters it’s the muso’s too
If you got a music blog, then son, I’m probably talking to you
Don’t skim intros, listen to each track through
And maybe running a spell check before you post a review
They drop a million band names to get the Google hits
Remember, “You heard it here first” and it was in bold italics
Throw enough sh*t at the wall and some of it will stick
But make no mistake, your wall's still covered in sh*t
There’s obtrusive new remits on the promotion slog
We need exclusive new remixes to service the blogs
And half of these online networks are flattery operated
Hand feed them but let them think it was internally propagated
Your lines are recycled, you have no identity
Your words ain’t gifted when they’re lifted from my f**king press release
Your opinion's next to nothing and that’s all you’ll amount to
You’re so vain you probably don't know this song is about you

I heard this song on the radio this afternoon and the first thing I thought of was Alizée and Gregoire. From 1985.




She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night.
She was hangin' on Johnny , he was holdin' on tight
I could feel her coming from a mile away.
There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play.

[Chorus]
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced.

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls.
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune.

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced.

The endless beat she's walking my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer
The room is spinning as she whispers my name

And we danced like wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced, danced, danced.

Probably going to Indila's concert this year I thought I'd missed it (God, I'm almost as busy as the person to whom this song is written...) but then I found out it'd been put off

One of Nicole's newest songs, as enchanting and disturbing as always

i’m going to get married today
so please don’t touch me
please stay away
i know i’m not good,
i’ve never been true
but you know that i love him
and i don’t love you
Actually, I should be studying but somehow listening to songs of that talented gal turns out more fascinating than memorizing a litany of names and book titles... surprise surprise
