Rise Against - Satellite

This is a song I have heard on the radio, but I was happy to find the video today. Powerful lyrics.



Rise Against - Satellite

You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
You won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit
And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it

That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, cuz these are the things we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has
You can't understand what lays ahead
If you don't understand the past
You'll never learn to fly now
Till you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, cuz these are the things we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

She told me that she never could face the world again
So I offered up a plan

We'll sneak out while they sleep
And sail off in the night.
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.
When we're gone, we'll stay gone.
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's not too late,
We have the rest of our lives.

We'll sneak out while they sleep
And sail off in the night
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives
When we're gone, we'll stay gone
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's not too late,
We have the rest of our lives.
The rest of our lives
The rest of our lives

Because we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah cuz these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

No, we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah cuz these are the things we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
Cuz these are the things that we can't deny now
This is a life that you can't deny us now

Mario Vasquez - Gallery

Another song about not letting yourself settle for less.

Mario Vasquez - Gallery


Mario Vasquez - Gallery

God broke the mold,
When he made this one I know
She's breathtaking but so much more
She walks in the room, your lungs close
Making you never want to breathe again
Her boyfriend has got so much dough
So much ice his neck and wrist froze
Is he faithful to her? Hell no
But she chose to be with him, shorty

Tell me is the money worth your soul?
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you?
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime

Because

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cause I know exactly what you'll be,
In his gallery
Just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery

She's so confused
She knows she deserves more
Someone who will love and adore
But his money's hard to ignore
She really doesn't know what to do
Girl it's just a matter of time
Before he finds another more fine
After he's done dulling your shine
You're out the door and he's through with you

Tell me is the money worth your soul?
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on,
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you?
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cause I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
Just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery

You're a masterpiece
I know that he
Can't appreciate your beauty
Don't let him cheapen you
He don't see you like i do
Beautiful not just for show
Time that someone let you know

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cause I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
Just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cause I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
Just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery
In his gallery

J. Rome - Take You From Here

This song shows that it isn't worth settling for less. There will always be someone who can treat you better.

We Love Katamari - Everlasting Love

From a video game soundtrack. It's got such a happy upbeat sound to it, so it never fails to put me in a good mood. It's in Japanese, but the translation is below.



We Love Katamari - Everlasting Love
English Translation

The white clouds float in the blue sky, the flower of memories is in full bloom
Our days pass away with harmonious talk
With the soft wind brushing my cheek, feeling its gentleness, I ask a bird
If this endless road is everlasting love

Hold me tight enough to break me
Don't end, happy days

I love you- so my breath almost stops, yeah
I miss you- hold me tight, always
It's my love- so time almost stops
So it's your love- be with me like this, forever

I can sing a song for you and me.
I can make a song for all who feel love.
I can sing a song for you and me.
I can make a song for all who feel love.

The white birds swim in the blue sky, the grove of trees blows in the wind
Like the distant mountains, my feelings won't change
Looking up at the big tree on top of the hill and feeling its strength, I ask the trees
If this long road is everlasting love

Doze until you start to melt
Listen again to the gentle song
I love you- so my breath almost stops, yeah
I miss you- hold me hard, always
It's my will- entrusting myself to gentle time
So it's your will- I just float along

I can sing a song for you and me.
I can make a song for all who feel love.　（I Love You）
I can sing a song for you and me.
I can make a song for all who feel love.
I can sing a song for you and me.
I can make a song for all who feel love.
I can sing a song for you and me.
I can make a song for all who feel love.

I love you- so my breath almost stops, yeah
I miss you- hold me tight, always
It's my love- so time almost stops
So it's your love- be with me like this, forever
I love you- so my breath almost stops, yeah
I miss you- hold me hard, always
It's my will- entrusting myself to gentle time
So it's your will- I just float along

이정현 Lee Jung Hyun - Brighter Than Sunshine

Even if you can't speak Korean, it's such a happy song to listen to.



1. 쌔근쌔근 잠든 니 얼굴은 입 맞추고 싶게 날 만들어

까만 눈동잘 가린 두 누눈에 아이같이 귀여운 두 볼에

혹시 이런 내 맘을 알면 어쩌나

니가 깨면 널 보지 않은 척 해야지

"You bright than sunshine You cheer me up
I feel your kiss is deeper than the sea
You bright than sunshine You cheer me up
I feel your kiss is higher than the sea"

2. 눈이 부신 아침엔 뭘 하니? 나른해진 오후엔 뭐 하니?

어두워진 저녁엔 뭘 하니? 집에가면 맨 먼저 뭐하니?

<혹시라도 내 생각 가끔 하는지 다가가서 내 맘을 말해도 되는지?>

Riva (featuring Michele) - Time is the Healer

Stumbled upon this song. Very profound lyrics. Time heals all wounds. But you must take the initiative to start the process.

"Put the hurt behind you
Break the chains that bind you"



Riva (featuring Michele) - Time is the Healer

Move on, look to new horizons
Seek and you will find
Let go, you've been here for too long
Just follow the signs

Time is the healer
Love is the stranger
Put the hurt behind you
Break the chains that bind you
Time is the healer
Life is the teacher
Put the hurt behind you
Break the chains that bind you

Forgive, does it really matter?
Make a brand new start
Forget, could be for the better
Just follow your heart

Goldfrapp - Alive

Happy song. Happier remix!



Goldfrapp - Alive

I woke up with the rising sun
I was blinded by the light
Jump up and pull on my jeans
It feels good, they're a little tight

Step out in a crazy world
But then the sun resets your mind
Feel the weight of it all just drift
Off on a cloud to another time

Hello hello
Hello hello

I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

Like the way that you drive your car
I like the way that you turn the key
Can't stop thinking about you baby
You don't know we are the real deal

Here we are on a perfect night
The sky is clear and the moon is full
Looking out at the universe
I thank the stars and the heavens for you

Hello hello
Hello hello

I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I

We're all alone
We're all alone

I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I

Feeling alive again
Alive again
Feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

Jennifer Lopez - Brave

Song about gaining the courage to move on and start over again.



Jennifer Lopez - Brave

It's a new day, new day, and it's evident
You must have been heaven-sent
Sometimes we should be hesitant, but I'm not at all
Just feelin more confident
Just using my common sense
Just trust in it, I'm lovin it

I can't refuse an offer so benevolent
Can't assume he's gon' use me
And after he'll never call again
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
This is your day, this is your day

[Chorus:]
It's time to be brave
Say I'm not afraid, not anymore
I used to be cold, now the temperature's changed
It just ain't the same
I'm not afraid, i'm not afraid
Cus I've become brave
As the light of day straight into a cave
To show me the way, that I might be saved
Now I'm turning the page
Thanks to the power of love I can love
Because I am brave

I am brave, I am brave

I heard him say this thing moving too fast for him
It's a feelin I was straddeling
Foolishly adamant, but It's all in his eyes
Really wish he would let me in
Cus the same way I'm scared of him
I'm scared of being hurt again

It's time to let go, let go of your heart
It's time for a brand new start
Never know, we might never part
Baby don't be afraid, don't be afraid
This is your day, this is your day

[Chorus]

I wouldn't take back anything that I've gone through (no)
I pray for strength for anything that I'm gonna do
Whether joy, or it's pain, I'm still okay (I, I'm still okay)
I'm a be alright cause I'm not afraid
No, I am brave (brave)

[Chorus]

I am brave

P!nk - Perfect

For those who have ever felt they couldn't measure up to the expectations of others, this is a great song. You shouldn't look for perfection in the eyes of others -- you are perfect within. You were born perfect, and you will always be.

Drugs and self mutilation and other addictions are not the answer to finding perfection or happiness. The answer is within yourself.

This song would have helped me when I was growing up. I hope it helps you, too.

WARNING: Visuals might be a bit graphic, but the message is very uplifting and real.

P!nk - Perfect

Made a wrong turn
Once or twice
Dug my way out
Blood and fire
Bad decisions
That’s alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, missunderstood
Miss, no way it’s all good
It didn’t slow me down
Mistaken
Always second guessing
Underestimated
Look, I’m still around…

Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than
less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing
You are perfect to me

You’re so mean
When you talk
About yourself
You are wrong
Change the voices
In your head
Make them like you
Instead
So complicated
Look how big you’ll make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It’s enough
I’ve done all i can think of
Chased down all my demons
see you do the same

Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than
less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing
You are perfect to me

The whole world stares while i swallow the fear
The only thing i should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we tried tried tried
But we try too hard, it’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cuz they’re everywhere
They don’t like my genes, they don’t get my hair
Strange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?

Ooh, pretty pretty pretty,
Pretty pretty please don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than
less than perfect
Pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel
Like you’re nothing
you are perfect to me
You’re perfect
You’re perfect to me
Pretty, pretty please if you ever ever feel
like you’re less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever ever feel
like you’re nothing
you are perfect to me

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

OK. It sounds a lot like Madonna's "Express Yourself" but the lyrics are great. It's all about loving yourself.



Lady Gaga - Born This Way

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
(Born this way)

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
(Born this way)
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice the truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey)
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way

Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
(Born this way )
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

( Queen ,
Don't be , Queen )

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi
lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
chola or orient made
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, yeah!

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
(Born this way )
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

I was born this way, hey!
I was born this way, hey!
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, hey!

I was born this way, hey!
I was born this way, hey!
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, hey!
