New song :)

Uploaded a new song! It's not that I'm tired of the Final Fantasy VII Theme that's been up here since way back in history from the first day of this blog (last month). It's just that I'm experimenting with new background music. And those people who know me well enough know that I'm a rock music kinda guy, and to tell you the truth the local rock scene (appreciation, local bands, outlook, etc.) is deplorable. I have people (mainly Christians...go figure) telling me how Linkin Park is satanic. So am I going to the "Dark Side" for that? (See previous entry) Dimmu Borgir is truly satanic, drinking goat's blood during concerts and all. I might post a DB song here just to show them, but nah... Linkin Park is what used to be a good nu metal band, but after Collision Course they've lost most of their credibility.

So yeah here's the new song, Artist In The Ambulance by Thrice. Thrice is one of the best in the field; they're not too heavy, kinda like Yellowcard...only nicer :P

"The Artist In The Ambulance"

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel lift me up
and i open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and i am gone

now i lay here owing my life to a stranger
and i realize that empty words are not enough
i'm left here with the question of just
what have i to show except the promises i never kept?
i lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets

[Chorus]
i hope that i will never let you down
i know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
it gets me down but i'm still gonna try to do what's right, i know that there's
a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
there's a line drawn in the sand, i'm working up the will to cross it and

[Chorus]

rhetoric can't raise the dead
i'm sick of always talking when there's no change
rhetoric can't raise the dead
i'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel steal me from the
greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
they've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

[Chorus]

can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound

Love this song. Kudos to Thrice for being so good and to tpjc.net for giving me personal webspace to put this song up in the internet. No thanks to whoever decides what CDs get sold in Singapore in what amounts cuz for the life of me I can't find Thrice albums anywhere here.
