"The High Road"

I've been listening to a lot of music lately. It's my vice. Music is how I deal with the world around me. It's my escape, my inspiration, my salvation, my amusement. One of the albums I've been listening to a lot is the new Three Days Grace's album, Transit of Venus.  My favourite song on it is a track called "The High Road". I just love it. The lyrics are awesome and so's the music that goes along with it. I actually find the song to be rather romantic.

So for tonight's blog, I've simply pasted in the lyrics to the song (thanks to azlyrics.com for them!)

"The High Road"

"I told you I was hurt
Bleeding on the inside
I told you I was lost
In the middle of my life

There’s times I stayed alive for you
There’s times I would’ve died for you
There’s times it didn’t matter at all

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around
I took the low road in
I’ll take the high road out
I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without

Standing in the dark
I can see your shadow
You’re the only light
That’s breaking through the window

There’s times I stayed alive for you
There’s times I would’ve died for you
There’s times it didn’t matter at all

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around
I took the low road in
I’ll take the high road out
I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without

We’ll I’m not gonna give it away
Not gonna let it go, just to wake up someday gone! Gone!
The worst part is looking back
And knowing that I was wrong

Help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around
I took the low road in
I’ll take the high road out
I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without

I’ll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can’t live without"

 

 

I hope you liked them as much as I do.

Good Night!

Calm and Rockin'

Friday agrees with my brain. For the first time all week, my head is a fairly quiet place. All the things I've had on my mind this week have been compartmentalised or ignore so I'm feeling much better. Now I'm just mostly tired. The sheer insanity of work has a lot to do with that. I was very happy to get out of the office only 45 minutes late tonight. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am that I'm able to sleep in tomorrow. Yes, I'm excited about sleep. I know, I know. I need a life. That's a work in progress.

I decided to share some of my favourite music tonight since I don't quite feel like writing.

First up is "Chalk Outline" from Canadian band "Three Days Grace". I'm digging it. I'm not totally in love with it yet, but it's growing on me.

Next, this is "Still Swingin' " by Papa Roach. I love this one and have since the first time I heard it. I also like the video. It's got a cool 'zombie' theme to it.

About a month ago I happened upon a band called "Throw the Fight". They're American and they're pretty damn good. Their new single is "Not So Hollywood" The song is good but I like several of their other songs on their album much better.

Here's another Canadian band, "Art of Dying". This is my favourite song off their album. It's called "Raining". It features the lead singer of Three Days Grace, Adam Gontier.

Last one is "Second Chance" by Shinedown. This is off their last album and I got to see them perform it live this summer and it was amazing. Their new album is pretty cool too.

I'd better turn off the rock and head to bed before the neighbours complain. LOL.

Good Night!

Sarah

A little fuzzy but this is Shinedown at Bluesfest this summer.

There sure were a lot of critters out there tonight. I saw 2 rabbits, 2 ducks, had 2 chipmunks nearly run me over and had a dragonfly try to fly into my head. And a nice and rather cute dude on rollerblades stopped to chat with me for a minute :) All in all, a very nice walk this evening, even if it was 30 with the humidex.

Count On Me - Default
Falling On - Finger Eleven
Forever - Papa Roach
The Good Life - Three Days Grace
Use Me - Hinder
Small Town Dead - Bleeker Ridge
Every Lie - My Darkest Days
Get Thru This - Art of Dying
