The Cello Rocks Hard

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

I fell in love with a band called Rasputina when I was 15 years old (I'm now 20) all thanks to my elder sister - who, I must say, has rather good taste in music. One of the first songs of theirs which I really fell in love with and connected to on some level was "Things I'm Gonna Do". It's one of those songs that has a memory attached to it and made itself stand out to me in my mind for whatever reason. If you haven't heard it yet I highly suggest listening to it (try searching for it on Project Playlist). Anywho, here are the lyrics for it:

"Things I'm Gonna Do"
Against the law to talk about
The rocket in the park
I send it off to be examined by a scientific team
On the moon (x4)
I organize a council where the prize goes unannounced until there's
In the trees a city
Just some leave, we left them pretty
Long ago (x3)
Oh so long ago
I have half a mind
It's cracked and breaking
It's recommended as great for tasting
Spit in the face of the tried and true one
These are things that I'm gonna do
My cave is lit with tiny lights
I climb the stairs and catch the sights
Of other people far below
I've heard of them
They think they know
I make no friends
I've got no spark
In my defense I take apart
What's put together easily
This is all true, I'll make it be
Everyday like Jesus
He's not up there He can't see us
Maybe
Eyes uplifted slowly for effect
The land below me
Far away (x3)
Oh so far away
I have half a mind
It's cracked and breaking
It's recommended as great for tasting
Spit in the face of the tried and true one
These are things that I'm gonna do

I love that band so much :)...
