The song just stills my heart. It freezes me. Puts me in a moment I remember somewhere back in my mind beyond the to-do lists and present paranoias, past the judgement and despisement...somewhere where love and safety and happiness were synonymous, somewhere where I never thought I would be.

I do not think that is a feeling that you duplicate. I am not holding out much hope. But I suppose that's why sad songs are good for the soul. It means maybe something else is out there.

"Desire has known us well
Living dreams is living hell but
They brought us through the times

I wanna light myself on fire

I spent thirty years not knowing you
I can't afford to waste more time
Running 'round the world
When all I know is you're my girl"

I'm probably making this judgement with far too much rash, speedy assumption behind it, but "Sythentica"  probably isn't as good as "Fantasies."

Not even sure how I feel about Metric, they sort of fit into a scene I don't know much about, but I do know I like several of their songs I've heard here and there over the years. I know who Emily Haines is. This song I like especially. It's afraid, brazen, tense.

I'm sick of watching people being too afraid to be real for five seconds. It's socially acceptable in far too many situations, most of which are probably holding everyone back.

Then again, who am I to say I've lived out my every whim? Who could say I'm not the scardest one on the stage?

"I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me aliveCan you hear my heart
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer

Hard to be soft

Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer..."
