memento moriFlyleaf - So Close

So Flyleaf’s new album is out now. And while doing my first listen through I totally got stuck on this song and had to repeat it. Check it out!

Here are the lyrics:

Had a dream that we were dead
But we pretended that we still lived
With no regrets we never bled
And we took everything life could give

And came up broken empty handed in the end
In the hearts of the blind, something you’ll never find
Is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead, I’m screaming

I don’t know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real
But I never felt this close before
I’ve been looking in your window
I’ve been dressing in your clothes
I’ve been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can’t go on

Had a dream that fire fell from an opening in the sky
Someone warned me of this hell, and I spit in his naive eye
And left him crying for my soul he said would die

In the hearts of the blind something you’ll never find
Is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead I’m screaming

I don’t know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real
But I never felt this close before
I’ve been looking in your window
I’ve been dressing in your clothes
I’ve been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can’t go on

In the hearts of the blind, something you’ll never find
Is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead, I’m screaming

I don’t know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real
But I never felt this close before
I’ve been looking in your window
I’ve been dressing in your clothes
I’ve been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can’t go on

Running Mix…

So I’ve been inspired to start running again and let’s be honest, priority number one is creating a killer running mix.

Well I ran today and had to create a playlist on the fly, so here it is:

Stars - Soft Revolution
MIA - Paper Planes
Muse - Starlight
Nada Surf - Weightless
The Strokes - Reptilia
Panic! at the Disco - Nine in the Afternoon
Fatboy Slim - Gangsta Trippin’
The Ting Tings - Great DJ
Modest Mouse - Dashboard

That playlist is a good 35+ min playlist, and honestly I only got halfway through the playlist before stopping however I want to know what songs get you running so I can add some good songs to this mix.

So give me your recommendations!

on the way to grab mexican food for dinner, two artists stopped me. They wanted (and challenged) me to make an impulse buy and buy a few pieces of their art. I told them if they had a picture of a quesadilla amongst their art that I would buy it. they didn’t but i did get to eat a quesadilla later.

P.S. their art was awful.

P.P.S. as was their sales pitch.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
