My take on Maroon 5

I have been considering writing this blog for awhile. You see, I was putting it off because I wanted to find just the right thing to say to get my point across. The words may never come, and I can't afford to miss this opportunity.

Maroon 5's new CD (It Won't Be Soon Before Long) kicks a%$ you see I have found that listening to the CD puts me in a different place. My mind almost wanders, but not in the way that would cause you to miss your turn off on the freeway, or zone out completely. But the kind that makes it so you can think of nothing more then the music. As if you ARE the music. You may not even know the feeling he is expressing, but you become that feeling. You are who he is talking to or talking about.

Adam Levine's (lead vocals) voice is not like a voice at all, but an instrument that you can feel without understanding what he is even saying. Although his voice is heard over the awesome background music, it doesn't cut through, but flows with the sounds. It's all one easy flowing masterpiece.

The slow songs are sweet and leave a satisfied feeling in the pit of your stomach, and the up beat ones make your blood almost rush to your ears in hope that the sound will get sweeter. I LOVE THIS CD. Here is an example, put any other way and sung by any other group this would be thought of as dirty or derogatory:

See I touch myself like it's somebody else,
But to you I touch oh,
Oh na na oh I miss you

When you hear the song, as he says it, you won't even hear it, it's like it's part of you.

My musical taste has never been picky, but I know AWESOME when I hear it, and this my friends is awesome. No matter who you are, this CD will make you a fan.

Fourth of July

This year I am really excited about the 4th of July. I'm not sure why, I have never been extremely patriotic,however, I do love the US of A. But I have this undying need to buy all that is red, white and blue and wear it around town for the next week or two. I also would like to catch an awesome fireworks show sometime soon. I always see good ones on t.v., but i want to be there. Well, this was something to write because I'm bored and needed something to do.
I'm going to share this with all of you because it's fitting for this blog.


Mariah Carey Lyrics
Fourth Of July Lyrics:

Trembling starry eyed
As you put your hand in mine...
It was twilight
On the Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there
and leave the world behind
On that Fourth of July

So starry eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions
As it swept over me
Like the wind trough the trees
I felt you sigh with a
Sweet intensity and baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we floated away
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze
A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain
Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I've never truly felt the way that I
Felt the Fourth of July
Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July

Mondegreen ( incorrect lyrics)

I bet you didn't know that all those wrong lyrics you belt out in the shower actually have a name: Mondegreen To give credit where it's due, Sylvia Wright, as a child heard a poem as a child "They had slain the Earl of Moray/And the lady of Mondegreen. (Actual Lyrics "they had slain the Earl of Moray/And laid him on the green." So here are a few of my ( and I'm sure your) Mondegreens, feel free to add more.

Shakira ft. Wyclef:"You make a brotha wanna see spandex" (curtosy of my hubby)
Actual Lyrics:"You make a brotha wanna speak spanish"

Elton John: " Hold me closer Tony Danza"
Actual Lyrics: "Hold me closer tiny dancer"

Michael Jackson: " Thiller, Thiller Knife"
Actual Lyrics: "Thiller Thiller Night"

George Michael: "If you were the dentist, I'd be the sea"
Actual Lyrics: "If you were the desert, I'd be the sea"

Earth Wind and Fire : "Do you remember?.blahblahblah September!"
hahahaha

And does anyone really know what the hell Aretha Franklin is saying: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find out what it means to me, R-E-S-P-E-C-T....???????"
I'm utterly clueless to that one.
The funny thing about these, is even after you learn the proper words to the song, you will find that you will forever sing them "your way" so go ahead, with my blessing at least, roll down your windows and let tony danza hold you closer, be my dentist, watch out for that thiller knife and blah blah blah to Aretha with the rest of us!
