Penny's Song - Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Penny's Song
Music by Jed Whedon
Lyrics by Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon
Performed by Felicia Day
--------------------------------------------
Here’s a story of a girl
Who grew up lost and lonely
Thinking love was fairytale
And trouble was made only for me

Even in the darkness
Every color can be found
And every day of rain
Brings water flowing
To things growing in the ground

Grief replaced with pity
For a city barely coping
Dreams are easy to achieve
If hope is all I’m hoping to be

Anytime you’re hurt there’s one
Who has it worse around
And every drop of rain
Will keep you growing
Seeds you’re sowing in the ground

So keep your head up Billy, buddy
----------------------------------
Well, thre's always my first note of, Dr. Horrible Is amazing. It's sad, but really good. Joss Whedon is a brilliant person. But anyways. I picked this one because I fell like this a lot. It's the two conflicting sides of me, the one who is dismal and feels like Love is a fairytale never meant to happen to me though I want it dearly. Who feels like People always say you can be or do whatever you want, but if you tell someone you want to be something that isn't practical, they all oppose and tell you to do something better. I mean... being a musician for example, you have no guarantee that you can make it, no guarantee of anything, so dreams are easy to achieve, if all you want to do is hope. But then there's the other side of me who knows there are always people who have it worse off, who are more hurt than you. Even in the darkness every color can be found, you can still see everything that's been good when you're in the darkest places in your mind, or your life. You just have to believe, hope, know that if you really believe and try things can and will get better, and you can have your dream, or the fairytale love.

But sometimes it gets hard to believe. Just gotta keep Hoping.

Stand in the Rain - Superchic[k]

Stand in the Rain - Superchic[k]
--------------------------------
She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain
------------------------------------
I love this song, because it takes that feeling that all of us have at one time or another, the fear of moving forward and taking another step, being so sad or depressed you just want to freak out and cry, but can't becaues you know if you start it won't ever stop. It takes that feeling and tells us to be strong, hold on and you'll make it through everything. Stand in the rain, because no one can see your tears, but once you're through you can come back to the world and though the only way out is through everything you were afraid of in the first place... Maybe now you'll have the strength to beat it.

So, A) Lady GaGa is awesome. XD But B) I had a dream that played in my mind like the shoujo anime i've been watching, but of my life. It was really nice... I miss it now, I'm still waiting for the love stuff to happen in my life. =/ It would be kinda nice if I could live a while like my dream, happy and in love. But ya know, I gotta live with the life I've made, Right?

No Rain - Blind Melon

No Rain - Blind Melons
----------------------
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
Escape......escape......escape......
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane......it's not sane
-------------------------------
Well, my life is pretty weird, but deep down, the substance of it, I would like someone to say to me "I'll always be there when you wake" Maybe that's just boring, but a little love in my life would be nice. I do read to stay awake and escape from the world I'm in. I love rain, and complain when there's none, and I always (depending on who you talk to - too much) Speak my mind, and in some people's minds it's not sane. But I'm me and love it, and I'm content to watch the puddles gather rain. =D

Thunder - Boys like Girls

Thuder - Boys like Girls
-------------------------
Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder, and I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder
-------------------------
This song is brought on by a couple of things. First is the damned rain that has left me with a never-ending pressure headache. =/ Second is I just love this song, it's really sweet. <3 But third (and the important one) is that sometimes i just feel like life is running away with me and there's nothing I can do about it. I've never liked feeling helpless, and I too often am. When it concerns other people there is often just... nothing you can do. But I think the message of the song is yeah, life drags you along by the belt loop, but i've got you, so bring it on.

When You're Gone- Avril Lavigne

When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This applies two ways. One is my best friend. Not in any weird way, But she moved away and I really miss her, and it bothers me sometimes to live life without her here with me. We were always together, now... And the other was (also not weird) is I have another friend who is moving away, and I'm gonna miss 'em. I hate when my friends leave, it makes me sad. =(

Sorry about the break, my laptop decided no to connect to my internet anymore.

You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift

You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift
---------------------------------
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
------------------------------------------
Taylor swift is one of my guilty pleasures, And I totally relate to this song. I'm not perfect or classically pretty, I wear a lot of t-shirts and ill fitting jeans, I'm not in shape, I'm a bit obnoxious and never stop singing (can be good or bad depending on who you talk to)... I've never had a boyfriend, and I suppose I feel sometimes the one who gets to watch the happy endings (not literally, we're in high school) but never gets to have mine. I go to games, but only to hang out with my friends, I hate high heels, I listen to weird obscure music... But that's who I am. I am comfortable with that, I just wish sometimes that more people were I guess. Maybe that's a lot to ask, I'm not sure.

My biggest Quarrel with this song (Well more the video) is that.. Taylor Swift can't possibly pretend to be quaint and unattractive, even with her glasses and stuff, I mean, She's gorgeous, and can't even pretend otherwise. It just doesn't work like that. ^_^;;
