Ke$ha - "Boots & Boys"

Jackson Browne- Lives in the balance (1986)

I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone

There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names

They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die

And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

Last: Ladytron - "Seventeen"
Now: Roisin Murphy - "Dear Miami"
Next: Goldfrapp - "Twist"

Hedley- Cha-Ching

Bob Dylan- Make you feel my love

From the album Time Out Of Mind (1997).

Train- If It's Love. I didn't know this song existed until a few minutes ago, and I'm already listening to it for the 2nd time. They're a band who I've always enjoyed the singles of but never bought the albums...I think I should rectify that situation.

Dora Luz - "You Belong to My Heart"

Bobby Darin- Dream Lover <3

Also from Bobby Darin: 'Simple song of freedom'.

Written by himself, with this song Bobby proves he's more than a rock 'n' roll teenage idol. This is a sadly unknown and underrated 'protest song'. It brought some tears to my eyes. (The acoustic demo version, which is better because you can concentrate on the lyrics better.)

^ Is that the song that was in the biopic with Kevin Spacey? I prefer his teen-idol stuff (:p), but the man was definitely talented, and I admire him for doing the music that he wanted to do.

Barenaked Ladies- One Week. Good times.

And right now, Cascada- Everytime We Touch. Yes, I'm dancing while eating tortilla chips. Definitely good times. Yay for days off with nothing to do.

Currently delving into the contents of this. Thank you, torrents, for your stellar hookups.

The last song I can identify that I remember listening to is:

Pseudo Echo - "His Eyes"

I've been listening to a lot of Juliana Hatfield as of late.

my chicken is infected wrote:

Ohhhhhh, I say. In Christina Aguilera's song "Back in the Day," she mentions "Lady Day", and I had no idea that it's Billie Holiday!

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young- Ohio

"Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio"

That songs still gives me the chills. Especially that guitar solo in the middle, and the repeated question in the background at the end: "how many more?"

I've been listening to the new Broadway cast recordings of A Little Night Music and Promises, Promises. Oh, and Gay Dance Classics Mix Vol 1!
