Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you
this song It's meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, like an ukulele
Mama made a baby
I really don't mind to practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me
Because I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside
And we could pretend that all the time

Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Can't you see, can't you see

Rain all day and I don't mind

The telephone singing, ringing, it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
…

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that they’ll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene

Durch Zufall via Jeweloree auf ein schönes Stöckchen gestoßen – eigentlich das erste schöne Stöckchen seit mindestens zwei Jahren. Die Aufgabe:
Post your top 20 bands/artists, the first song you heard of theirs, the song that made you fall in love, and your current favorite.http://www.lastfm.de/user/jeweloree/journal/2009/03/19/2kuij6_how_i_met_my_top_20

Die zwei Probleme für mich dabei:
1.: Bei einigen Interpreten stimmen alle drei Punkte überein. Zugunsten der Abwechslung habe ich deshalb wo nötig (Muse, Capricorn, The Fratellis und Mando Diao) die Wahrheit etwas großzügiger interpretiert.
2.: Ich kann mich nur bei den wenigsten Interpreten noch an das erste Lied erinnern, das ich von ihnen gehört habe. Im Zweifelsfall habe ich daher nachgeschaut, welches Lied als erstes gescrobbelt wurde, auch wenn das einige seltsame Ergebnisse zutage fördert – sogar Titel, die ich gar nicht (mehr) habe.
Außerdem ist es doch sehr auffällig, wie viele Coverversionen (nämlich fünf von 30…

Because it's been almost two years since I filled this out...I thought it would be fun to see how this has changed.

1. How did you get into 29? (Martina Sorbara)
My friend Christina loved her first. She has excellent taste in music, so I looked her up.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Clay Aiken)
Haha...umm...I guess something he sang on American Idol? I don't remember whether I watched the auditions that season or picked up the show later.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Chris Isaak)
No idea. I don't really pay attention to his lyrics...more his music and his voice.

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Spice Girls)
Haha, I guess I prefer Spice World?

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Mariah Carey)
Five.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Billy Joel)
First, how is Billy only #50?! That's disturbing. I love so many of his songs (so many!!), but if I have to pick just one, I always go with The Longest Time. …
