Song of the Day - Kenny Chesney - All I want for Christmas is a Real Good Tan

Okay so just in case you don't know, one of my regular entries is what I call the "song of the day." The SOTD is a song that i will either discover or revisit and become obsessed with for the rest of the day and sometimes for a series of days. Really it has morphed into a song of the month but due to laziness i refuse to change it. For the first time ever the song of the day is a Christmas song, but not your traditional type of Christmas song, its a song with a kenny chesney spin! If you don't know about Kenny, he adds a "coastal" or "island" theme to many of his songs that really do leave you dreaming of walking on a beach with no shoes and a corona in your hand! well anyway, this is the last song of the day/month for 2010: Kenny Chesney's "all I want for Christmas is a real good tan... enjoy!



Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for christmas is a real good tan..

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan,
take me to the Islands put my feet in the sand,
rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean.
singin Silent Night with the palm trees ablowin'..

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for christmas is a real good tan.

Well, if you're thinkin' bout getting me a present this year,
let me put a bug in your cute little ear,
How bout two tickets to a tropical shore,
where we don't have to wear these winter clothes anymore,
instead of turkey we'll have mahi-mahi grill,
and Pina Coladas in the blender chillin'..

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan,
take me to the Islands put my feet in the sand,
rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean,
singin Silent Night with the palm trees ablowin'..

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?(its a real good plan)
All I want for christmas is a real good tan..

Well everybody's praying for a Christmas so white,
come to think about it, that'd be alright,
as long as it's sand and not snow on the ground,
and everyday our skin gets a little more brown,
We'll string some lights in a coconut tree,
I'll rub some oil on you, and you can rub some on me..

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan,
I can see us baby on the beach hand in hand,
rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean..
Baby won't you say you and me we'll be going?
Ooooo, I can almost feel my toes in the sand,(my toes in the sand)
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan..

Don't worry baby, we'll celebrate plenty,
I'll buy you some shades and a brand new bikini..
We won't have to worry about the holiday rush,
it'll be you and me fallin' deeper in love..

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?(its a real good plan)
All I want for christmas is a real good tan..
(a real good tan)

All I want for christmas is a real good tan..

Song of the Day - Anberlin - Impossible

I thought that I had already used this song as my song of the day this year but apparently I didn't. Today's selection has been stuck in my head more than once this year due to it's "catchiness." The beat is infectious, the lyrics are deep, and stephen Christian sounds wonderful on it. The song of the day is Anberlin's "Impossible" off of their "Dark is the Way Light is the Place" album which if you remember didn't have extremely favorable review on this site. Nonetheless this song is probably one of the best that Anberlin has come up with and that is why it is my song of the day... well that and i can't get it out of my head! enjoy!!


You make my teeth clinch and my hands shake
Do you ever see what you do to me?
Wearing me out, it's wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down

You're impossible love me
So impossible to .....
I'm wearing you out just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want

What I can do to you
is wearing you down
Can I begin to wear you down?

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want from me

I'm impossible to figure out
So impossible you had to doubt

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want from me it means nothing now
Take everything from me it means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive, harder to forget
Take what you want from me

Take what you want from me ..

Song of The Day: Kenny Chesney - Just Not Today

Feeling Nostalgic today and listening to an old Kenny Chesney CD... Enjoy!

She played third base on a softball team
Had a pretty good arm and real nice swing
I was working part-time out at Gentry's farm
I had thing for a girl in a uniform
After the game she was mine, young, wild and free
Yeah old Mr. Gentry was pretty cool
He said son I'd know where I'd be
And what I'd say if it was me

One of these days
We're gonna have to grow up
Have to get real jobs and be adults, someday
Just not today
Have to worry about things out of our control
Like kids, love and money and gettin old, someday
Just not today, just not today

Had a rope swing hangin from a sycamore tree
By a deep little spot on white sand creek
Used to walk barefoot, down a little dirt path
We'd throw out the beach towels and
Lay on our backs
Had four wheel drive trucks parked up in the shade
With those speakers blasting
We never knew how much we really had it made,
Without a care in a world we'd say

Have to show some maturity, responsibility
Pay the old fiddler, face reality
Maybe tomorrow the older and wiser
Will be, god love us we'll be

Just not today
Just not today

lyrics corrected above-
I was workin part out at Gentry's farm
Were guna have to grow up
By a deep wood spot on white sand creek
We'd through out the beach towels and
With those speakers blasted

Song of the day (september) - You and Tequila

Okay so Music Month is nearly over now. I figured that I would end it with my song of the day. This month it is Kenny Chesney's "You and Tequila." now, I think this might be a remake of an old song but I'm not too sure. either way it is a good one! the video is not an official video but at least this way you guys can listen to it... enjoy!



"You And Tequila"

Baby, here I am again
Kicking dust in the Canyon wind
Waiting for that sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive
Hell bent on getting high
High above the lights of town

'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

Thirty days and thirty nights
Been putting up a real good fight
And there were times I thought you'd win
It's so easy to forget
The bitter taste the morning left
Swore I wouldn't go back there again

'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

When it comes to you
Oh, the damage I could do
It's always your favorite sins
That do you in

'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

Never enough
You and Tequila
You and Tequila

Song of the day (August) - Everlong

i guess maybe i should start calling these song of the month, but that would be more confusing (for me, lol). Either way, please enjoy The Foo Fighters - "Everlong."



Foo Fighters - Everlong

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang


Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang


And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Song of the Day (back in July)

My song for July is an easy one - "Boston" By Augustana. I was OBSESSED with this song for about a month and it is currently on many of my playlists. i am including the video and the lyrics. Hope you guys like it!



In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,

Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Yeah Boston...
Where no one knows my name.

Song of the day (back in June!)

I guess my song for June would have to be Kenny Chesney's "Ain't back yet." I downloaded that track and I played it all throughout june. enjoy!

I heard a song 'bout a ramblin' man

Bought a guitar and I started a band

I got a gig at the local Am Vet

I was gone and I ain't back yet


'69 bored, out and jacked up

A quarter mile that was all it was

I burned the cool off of that Corvette

And I was gone and I ain't back yet


Lookin' back at the moments, black and white

I wouldn't change a thing that changed my life

For the worse, for the better

Man, I was gone, gone forever


She was a cut offs pepper sauce queen

Man, we were matches and gasoline

First taste of love never will forget

I was gone and I ain't back yet

I was gone, gone and I ain't back yet


Lookin' back at the moments, black white


I wouldn't change a thing that changed my life

For the worse, for the better

Man, I was gone, gone forever


The laughs, the smiles, the trials, the tears

It's hard to hate what got me here

What got me here


She was a straight out of Hollywood smile

We missed it all by a country mile

Went out one night for some cigarettes

And I was gone and I ain't back yet


I was gone, gone and I ain't back yet

I was gone and I ain't back

Ain't back, ain't back yet

Song of the day: Dashboard Confessional - The Brilliant Dance

This song has been on my mind for the past few days! i'm seeing a Dashboard theme here... oh well, enjoy!

Song of the Day: Deluge - Come In My Courts

This is seriously one of the best and most intimate worship songs that I have ever heard. -J.

Welcome in the way is open
Come on in you are My temple My tabernacle
I've chosen you
Come abide my Spirit's calling
Deep inside you're My beloved
There is none other I love more than you

So come oh My beloved come

Come in My courts
Come in My courts
Come in My courts
I am calling you
I am calling you

Come in My courts
Come in My courts
Come in My courts
Won't you run to Me won't you come to Me

Just come
Lay all your burdens down and come
All who are weary and are thirsty lay your
Burdens down and come
All who are hungry and are hurting leave your
Burdens there and come

February Song of the week... or Month!

Okay so My song of the MONTH for February was most definitely Fire By Augustana! I listened to it and sang it all month! lol

No it don't come easy
No it don't come fast
Lock me up inside your garden
Take me to the riverside

Fire burning me up
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me whole

There you were in your black dress
Moving slow to the sadness
I could watch you dance for hours
I could take you by my side

Fire turning me on
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me whole

Song of the Day - Ruthless by Something Corporate

This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor littering my shore
This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world
Created to destroy

But if I built you a city
Would you let me?
Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
And I could still be ruthless if you let me
But there you go when I'm not done
You're waving goodbye well at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me

This is your ghost that kneels before me
Razors on her tongue, a body full of oxygen
It won't be the last time she'll ignore me
Thinning in my skin
Without the strength, to go
Winter setting in
To cover you in snow

But if I built you a city, would you let me in?
Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time
I finally know what I should have known then
And I could still be ruthless if you let me
But there you go when I'm not done
You're waving goodbye well at least you're having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me
forget me
forget me, yeah

I'll raise towers and climb them
Rivers and walk them
Oceans to drown in
you won't make a sound in

But there you go for the last time
I finally know what I should have known then
And I could still be ruthless if you let me
But there you go when I'm not done
You're waving goodbye well at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me

Song of The Day - Aerosmith - Dream On

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On

Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......

Song Of The Day - Dashboard Confessional - The Best Deceptions

I heard about your trip.
I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights,
and the cool guys that you spent them with.
Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.

Don't you see, don't you see,
that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you.
So kiss me hard
'cause this will be the last time that I let you.
You will be back someday
and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service
to keeping you away.

I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us.
Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers,
I'll be all right when my hands get warm. Ignoring the phone,
I'd rather say nothing. I'd rather you'd never heard my voice.
too late to be gracious and you do not warrant long good-byes.
You're calling too late

Song of the Day - Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

Originally performed by blues musician Lead Belly, "Where did you sleep last night?" rose to legendary status when covered by Nirvana In their MTV Unplugged in New York set. Cobain does an amazing job of bringing this 1944 song to Generation X'ers and all nirvana fan's to come.

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the
whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

Song of the Day - Anchor & Braille - Rust (The Short Story of Mary Agnosia)

We're just machines rusting to breathe
Hopeless, helpless, deconstructing ourselves
Wanting to be wanted, willing to waste our lives
Disillusioned, i may never find a sense of home

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going
Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here
Take me anywhere, wherever you're going
Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here, here, here

Robots are rising while the rest of us keep writhing
We're just inferior after all
With the lights out, inspiration, we're a tired nation
Faulty, i don't want a sense of home

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going
Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here
Take me anywhere, wherever you're going
Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here, here, here

Take me anywhere, wherever you're going
Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here
Take me anywhere, wherever you're going
Take me anywhere, 'cause nobody wants me here

The song of the day! - August 5

Anchor and Braille - "Wedding/ Funeral"
From the "Felt" Album (2009)

The Fray - You Found Me....

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where've you been?" He said, "Ask anything."

Where were you, when everything was falling apart.
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Chorus
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me

Chorus

The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, Where were you? Where were you?

Chorus

Thinking about this song today : Song Of The day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
