The Jukebox

I've known this song for a long time, but for some reason I can't stop listening to it as of late. The lyrics are great and keep me thinking.
Darn it, now I can't quit listening to it either.....  /default_biggrin.png

It's addicting....

ssshhh, don't let anyone know or they'll "schedule" it  LOL

Try to move on to something else.....

just that a lot of people build up xmas to be this big amazing thing,then loads of folk end up cracking up over xmas,families arguing,it seems to cause a lot of stress in some households.

I will still be round for dinner,when i am allowed my passport back,it was confiscated by border control,don't want potential thorns in their sides LOL.cluckety cluck.16 million turkeys die in the uk to celebrate the birth of christ ,xmas was stolen by christians from pagans,it was a pagan festival originally.

Hope you make nice gravy for the dinner. /default_wink.png
So, I assume you aren't in charge of carving the Turkey on Christmas?

Uh.... yeah, about the turkey...... sorry @johnnog

Just happened to have salad, stuffed baked potato fixin's, and rolls handy.   *shrug*

And desserts - oh boy, did I ever splurge on sweets this year....

Don't even need to eat for a 'sugar rush', just breathe

Holy fuck, I was trying to remember this band/album last night and I finally remembered it. This song is one of my favorites off of it, but I can listen to it from start to finish.

 
I really like that song Deperson. I've never heard of the band or the song.

I also like the song "Frayed" and "Girls Like You" by this band. Maybe more. It's been a while.

Back to the classics. A great instrumental. I've heard it way too many times, but even so, it's still good.

 
And finally a guilty pleasure. It appropriates the legendary riff from "Crazy Train," but I unironically like this song for some reason.

 
It's alright, it's OK, I'm gonna make it anyway,

I'ma make it, I'ma make it, I'ma make it.., somehow.

Sometimes I just feel like, quitting I still might

Why do I put up this fight, why do I still write

Sometimes it's hard enough just dealing with real life

Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics

And show these people what my level of skill's like

But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life

Something ain't right, hit the brake lights

Case of the stage fright, drawing a blank like

Da-duh-duh-da-da, it ain't my fault

Breaking eye balls, my insides crawl

and I clam up (wham) I just slam shut

I just can't do it, my whole manhood's

just been stripped, I have just been vicked

So I must then get off the bus then split

Man fuck this shit yo, I'm going the fuck home

World on my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Road

I'm a man, I'ma make a new plan

Time for me to just stand up, and travel new land

Time for me to just take matters into my own hands

Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back

And I'm gone, I know right where I'm going

Sorry momma I'm grown, I must travel alone

ain't gon' follow the footsteps I'm making my own

Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road

I'm walking these train tracks, trying to regain back

the spirit I had 'fore I go back to the same crap

To the same plant, and the same pants

Trying to chase rap, gotta move ASAP

And get a new plan, momma's got a new man

Poor little baby sister, she don't understand

Sits in front of the TV, buries her nose in the pad

And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand

While she colors her big brother and mother and dad

Ain't no telling what really goes on in her little head

Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had

But I keep running from something I never wanted so bad!

Sometimes I get upset, cause I ain't blew up yet

It's like I grew up, but I ain't grow me two nuts yet

Don't gotta rep my step, don't got enough pep

The pressure's too much man, I'm just trying to do what's best

And I try, sit alone and I cry

Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by

That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm begging you God

Please don't let me be pigeon holed in no regular job

Yo I hope you can hear me homey wherever you are

Yo I'm telling you dawg I'm balling this trailer tomorrow

Tell my mother I love her, kiss baby sister goodbye

Say whenever you need me baby, I'm never too far

But yo I gotta get out there, the only way I know

And I'ma be back for you, the second that I blow

On everything I own, I'll make it on my own

Off to work I go, back to this 8 Mile Road

You gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it

Or see what the big deal is, why it wasn't the skillest

To be walking this borderline of Detroit city limits

It's different, it's a certain significance,

A certificate of authenticity, you'd never even see

But it's everything to me, it's my credibility

You never seen heard smelled or met a real MC

who's incredible upon the same pedestal as me

But yet I'm still unsigned, having a rough time

Sit on the porch with all my friends and kick dumb rhymes

Go to work and serve MC's in the lunchline

But when it comes crunch time, where do my punchlines go

Who must I show, to bust my flow

Where must I go, who must I know

Or am I just another crab in the bucket

Cause I ain't having no luck with this little rabbit's foot, fuck it

Maybe I need a new outlet, I'm starting to doubt shit

I'm feeling a little skeptical who I hang out with

I look like a bum, yo my clothes ain't about shit

At the Salvation Army trying to salvage an outfit

And it's cold, trying to travel this road

Plus I feel like I'm on stuck in this battling mode

My defenses are so up, but one thing I don't want

Is pity from no one, the city is no fun

There is no sun, and it's so dark

Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled apart

From each one of my limbs, by each one of my friends

It's enough to just make me wanna jump out of my skin

Sometimes I feel like a robot, sometimes I just know not

What I'm doing I just blow, my head is a stove top

I just explode, the kettle gets so hot

Sometimes my mouth just overloads the acid I don't got

But I've learned, it's time for me to U-turn

Yo it only takes one time for me to get burned

Ain't no calling her next time I need a new girl

I can no longer play stupid or be immature

I got every ingredient, all I need is the courage

Like I already got the beat, all I need is the words

Got the urge, suddenly it's a surge

Suddenly a new burst of energy has occurred

Time to show these free world leaders the three and a third

I am no longer scared now, I'm free as a bird

Then I turn and cross over the median curve

Hit the 'burbs and all you see is a blur from 8 Mile Road

 
Wow, after listening to that goofy rap battle a bunch of times, I was curious if that integral "Newton" threw up was actually equal to the natural log of the square root of 3 (since i to the 64th is just 1). It is, so "Tyson" could have said 1, -1, or i (and also crap like the natural log of e or non-zero constants to the zeroth power, etc.) in his rap-- wait, why did I just do this?

Anyway...


This song is one of my favorite psychedelic pieces of music. Went too far down the rabbit hole to really mess with that kind of thing these days, but I still find this song oddly comforting.

  2. xenxra @ xenxra: go figure tbh
  3. A @ AnnaSofia: Yeah @Deepnorth I was sucked in hard to folklore and evermore like who am I??? my friend who is a punk purist lifestyle with no knowledge or awareness of pop or indie music, was so curious he threw on the live folklore record she did and was like “this isn’t bad” which is like a verbal grammy coming from him. never heard him say that in my life about mainstream artists 😂
  4. Deepnorth @ Deepnorth: @AnnaSofia same same. I am an avid 70’s Floyd zeppelin so on but folklore should earn everyone respect if they truly listen and realize how involved she is in her music. Should out to “Beautifully Broken “ coming out from Jelly too!
  5. A @ AnnaSofia: Btw I’m a punk chick with dare I say… tremendous taste in music 😂 and knowledge out the ass and I even came around to Taylor during folklore. Admitting it to my friends and family was not easy. I saw the disappointment in their eyes. The confusion. Looking at their calendars to see if it was April Fool’s day… But I turned a few of them 🤣 have so much fun @Kerby87 you lucky B!!!
  6. A @ AnnaSofia: Right on @Deepnorth !! Taylor is a woman worthy of respect absolutely with immense influence. Undeniable. Like her or not.
  7. xenxra @ xenxra: @RiftChems omg have fun :)
  8. CnC5 @ CnC5: Ewww🤢🤢🤮🤮
  9. Deepnorth @ Deepnorth: @Kerby87 Taylor is a Queen . Don’t care who you are or what someone things. Anyone that can go through that many set changes and clothing, play guitar and remember the words to lyrics you wrote ….sweeeeew. That’s alot. Go vote!
  10. K @ Kerby87: Taylor swift tomorrow 😍
  11. A @ AnnaSofia: Oh thanks @timyboy i see my post now but I messed up where I posted the thread I was asking people to visit lol. Hope you’re well friend!
