Apparently this week I am just very into dissecting song lyrics to get the meaning of the songs. To many times people know all the words to a song but cant put together the songs meaning, or rather they don't think to. It seems most people are really just concerned about the way the words sound together. I will admit I have been guilty of this before. Although sometimes when I listen to a song a few words catch my attention emotionally and than I actually listen to what it is that the song is trying to say.
So I'm dissecting the lyrics of The Dolphin's Cry which also happens to be by Live.
The way you're bathed in light
Reminds me of that night
God laid me down into your rose garden of trust
And I was swept away
With nothin' left to say
Some helpless fool
Yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
You're all I need to find
So when the time is right
Come to me sweetly, come to me
Come to me
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Oh yeah, we meet again
It's like we never left
Time in between was just a dream
Did we leave this place?
This crazy fog surrounds me
You wrap your legs around me
All I can do to try and breathe
Let me breathe so that I
So we can go together!
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Life is like a shooting star
It don't matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
We are lost 'til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over
Over
Over
Singin' la da da, da da da
Over
Come to me
Singin' la da da da, da da da
Come to me
Though after reading the lyrics to the song you get the feel that its about sex on the beach, which is true, I feel like there is more to it than that. I think its more about loving someone so much that you can barley control yourself, and that when you leave nothing really matters until your back again, its all a "fog" "Love will lead us"
Life is like a shooting star
It don't matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
We are lost 'til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over
These lyrics to me strike a lot of meaning, they're saying that love will find anyone and everyone, whether you're ready or not, no matter what has happened to you in the past, love doesn't care. love is what leads us ;)

Lightning crashes
This is going to be a little harder, I am going to dissect they lyrics of a song; it's one of my favorite songs. The song is called Lightning Crashes and its by the band Live.
Here are the lyrics to the song
Here are the lyrics to the song
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
This song is a very powerful song if you have ever heard it. If you haven't heard the song you definitely should!
In terms of the meaning of the song, its really pretty simple. It's about life transferring from one life to another. As one women dies, a baby is born, almost as if taking her place in the world. As people die, their life goes on, new life is created. While its sad that the mother dies, there is happiness in the little baby.
Dirty Heads
The Dirty Heads are a band that I used to listen to all the time, I don't know why, but I kind of just stopped listening to them. Recently when in the car my friend put them on in the car and I forgot how much I love them. They kind of remind me of the band 311. They are a reggae band but they also include a hip-hop, punk kind of sound.
The band includes Jared Watson, who does vocal, Dustin Bushnell, Who plays guitar and (in my favorite song (Sloth's Revenge)) sings, There is also Jon Olazabal, he plays percussion, Matt Ochoa who plays drums, and finally David Foral, who plays bass. Together they are crazy amazing! they have played for a long time but have been a band since 1996, a great year!
If you haven't ever listened to them I highly encourage it! they are what I listen to before bed. They have a nice tune and it can be crazy soothing. They have a very eclectic tune sometimes, its weird and amazing, it totally works for them.
Honestly I don't really have much more to say about them. I really just want people to be more aware of them, I think they should be listened to a lot more than they are. They are amazing! So please, the next time that you're bored and don't know what to do, listen to these guys.

they way we choose
The way we develop our musical interest varies in many different ways. At a young age your parents probably listen to whatever they listen to and as a result you grow up listening to the same type of music, and same artist, because you don't really know about many other types of music or other artists.
Growing up both of my mom and dad listen to the same thing, they listen to classic rock, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, rolling stones, etc. So as a result I am actually one of the few people in my generation who actually knows who these bands are, not even just knowing them, but listening to them too, because everyone knows who the Beatles are.
As I started school, in class me and my little friends would all talk about what we like and don't like, this means that we would also talk about music. When we didn't share interest in the same types of music we would go home and ask about it or we would look it up. When I was in first grade I had this friend that was obsessed with country. When we talked about it I grew up knowing that both my mom and my dad detested country, so I automatically said that I hated it, without even listening to it first. Your parents have a huge influence on what it is that you do and do not like as a little kid.
By the time I got to middle school I got more and more friends, they all listened to different types of music, but I never got to experience what they did because I refused to listen to anything other than rock, however the types of rock that I listened to broadened, I had friends that listened to heavy metal and such, so I listened to that with them because it was rock, I didn't disapprove. So as a result in middle school the only broadening that happened with me and music was that my rock interest grew as I learned and listened to new bands.
When I reached freshman year of high school I had never fully heard a country song. I started dating this guy and he was definitely a country boy, all he listened to was country, and because he was a couple of years older than me, he could drive. In his car all we did was listen to country all the time, at first I complained and complained because I hated it, but I had never really listened to it all the way through. After awhile however it kind of grew on me. I don't know how, or why but I think its just that I actually listened to the songs and they lyrics and what they actually meant, although they are all the same in meaning, they are all also very different in style.
As a Sophomore after my old best friend stabbed me in the back, I eventually got a new best friend: Allie. We hit it off instantly, and because we were both 16 we could both drive. the first time we hung out was actually when we became best friends, the one thing we didn't have in common was music. she listened to rap, hip hop, pop, and country. so we settled on country. The only rap I knew was Eminem, MGK, and Tupac. So we agreed to listen to country. Eventually however we both got bored of it after awhile because its all that we listened to, so every so often we would switch off listening to what the other liked. In return we both began to enjoy each others taste in music! So I now listen to pop, hip hop, rap, country, and any type of rock. And as a result I gradually started listening to everything. Other than classical music I enjoy all types of music, I have the most eclectic taste in music that I know of. I urge you to listen to different types of music, enjoy and experiment, what you find will definitely surprise you. Don't let your parents interests hold you back! even if they are unintended.

When its Appropriate
Music, although its amazing, isn't always appropriate in the setting that you're in, so I'm going to inform you on some times where it isn't and when it is.
I don't know about everyone, but I pretty much always have my headphones in, I actually used to get in trouble at home because I never really did anything with my family I was either always in my room blasting my music (which angered my family.... A LOT!) or I was chilling with my headphones in. Although you might want to do this too, don't, if there is anything I learned from this its that you need to be social, even with your family. You can end up feeling kind of alone after awhile.
Another place I always love music, is when I'm taking a nice warm bath, I don't know about you, but when I'm cozy in the bubbles its nice to listen to some Jasmine Thompson. Its nice even when your taking a shower, however be aware that if you are going to listen to music in the tub that it has to be a lot louder which can in return anger some family members.
Some times when it wouldn't be appropriate is when you're having a conversation, take BOTH headphones out, its kind of rude to be not fully paying attention to who is talking to you. Also in class, I know you don't want to hear this, but unless the teacher says its ok, you probably shouldn't listen to music. Imagine yourself giving a speech and people are listening to music instead, I think this is probably how teachers feel when their students are listening to music.
Make sure that if you're listening to music its the right time, and if its the right time and your playing it so others can hear too, make sure its appropriate for the situation, and that you aren't going to anger anyone around you. Another thing to make sure of is that music doesn't run your life, try to still talk to people, don't just get stuck in your musical world and shut everyone out.

Techno
Ok, so I have done a lot of stuff with music, from country to rap, but I do not think I have really done much with techno.
Techno over the years has gotten more and more advanced and finds its way into a lot of different music genres. You can find rap songs with techno mixed into it, as well as most pop and some rock. Techno can also be by itself. One of the first bands that I can think of that started techno (it is actually one of my favorite bands) is depeche mode. They are like the originals of techno, most people wont know who they are, but I grew up listening to them with my dad and my sister. As you listen to their albums by year (so first one ever to last) you can actually see the progression as the music gets more and more techno like.
There are a lot more bands that are techno, many of which are well known, like deadmau5, daft punk, skrillex, etc. All of these bands are pretty well known and they preform more of a techno based sound. Techno music is more like disco than any other type of music. If you ever get the chance, before you just decide you don't like a type of music, listen to more than one artist from the genre, listen to a full song as well. but don't knock it till you try it.

traffic laws 2
this is just part 2
In drivers ed they teach you to steer hand over hand, but studies
have shown that doing this can cause you to break both of your wrists if in and
accident while doing this. This does not mean that you shouldn't keep both hands
on the wheel at all times, it just means that you should adjust the way that
you steer.
Following the traffic rules is very important while driving. You
should move forward only when the road is clear. Avoid overtaking other
vehicles. While crossing an intersection you should be more careful. The most
important thing is to follow the signal. Start the engine only when the light
is green. Stop the car when red signal is shown. Slow down the car at
crosswalks and let the people cross the road. And only pass cars in front of
you if it is necessary and when doing so make sure that it is safe to do so.
While making a turn the driver should be aware of a number of
things. Avoid making a last minute turn. Slow down before making a turn. Give
turn signals to other vehicles while changing lane. If you want to make a turn
in an intersection and you can not find proper lane move on to the next
intersection and make the turn. It is better to miss the turn and ensure your safety and make it and risk an accident.
When driving near a motorized vehicle it is important to make
sure that you know where it is they are around you, they unlike you in your
inclosed vehicle are in more danger of getting hurt in an accident, because
they don't have anything (other than (hopefully) a helmet)it is important that while
they are driving you stay in one lane and let them pass you or continue at a
constant speed.
Do not drive drunk, driving drunk has become a huge problem. If
you are going to drink make sure that you have a designated drive to ensure
your safety as well as others. Driving under the influence will impair your
reaction time, your decision making skills, your motor skills, awareness is
decreased and judgment is impaired. If you are intoxicated it is very dangerous
to drive and a lot of lives have been lost to drunk driving.
Driving laws and regulations were made to ensure the safety of all
people on the road, make sure that when you are behind the wheel of a car that
you fallow them to the best of your ability to keep you and others safe.
Traffic laws
I have lost my license twice now and i have decided to raise awareness and write some basic information on laws of the road. Here is what i found
We came up with traffic rules and such so that the roads would be
safer and we would know who is liable for the accident. Every year over 1.17
million people die in road crashes around the world, this is mainly because
people don't always obey traffic laws, or use smart driving skills.
When driving people should always make sure to never speed. speed
limits are made to insure the safety of you and the people on the road around you.
It is important to make sure that not only do you not speed but that you don't
drive to slow. if people around you are driving 10 mph faster than you it can
increase the risk of an accident. Also when speeding if you crash at a faster
rate the crash will be a lot more dangerous. We made speeding limits because it
is greatly believed that if we didn't have them people would speed all the
time. Speed limits are different in different areas of town to make sure that
everyone is safe. In residential areas the speed limit is much slower because
there can be children at play, dogs roaming around, etc, so no matter where you
are make sure that when driving you obey the speed limits.
It is very important that while driving a person should always
make sure that they can see to the best of their ability. Not only should one
be wearing their glasses or contacts if needed they should also make sure that
their windshields are clean and scraped as needed. seeing is a huge part of
driving if you cant see then you are at risk of getting in an accident. Not
only should your windshield be clear, but your windows and rear windshield as
well. It is difficult enough to see behind and around you while your windows
are clean, let alone when they are dirty. Many accidents can happen if you cant
see properly.
For a lot of people (mainly teenagers) distractions in the car are
a big issue, weather it be their cell phones, their music being way to loud,
their friends being crazy while in the car, etc. getting rid of or even
limiting these distractions makes a huge difference on how well a person
drives. distractions can cause the drivers eyes to be off the road for even a
second and this makes them at big risk. make sure that (especially if you are a
teen) when driving you should never have your music to loud, (you need to be
able to hear what it is that is going on around you) that if you do have
passengers in your car that the number should be limited and that they are not
to much of a distraction, and that you NEVER text and drive, or even talk on
the phone and drive, it limits your thinking ability while you are driving.
Keep your eyes on the road! When driving you need to have your
eyes on the road at all times, you never know if something like a kid, dog,
deer, etc might jump in the road in front of you. maybe even the driver in
front of you might stop suddenly and you wont even know it because your eyes weren't on the road. even if for a second your eyes are off the road it can be
dangerous. make sure to be limit distractions in your car when driving. Not
only should your eyes be on the road at all times, they should always be
moving (seeing whats going on around you) you should be looking at whats going
on everywhere in your line of sight. Weather its the car that is right behind
you, or the kids playing with the ball on the sidewalk to your left, you can
not control what others are doing around you, but you can control how fast you
react to it, or changing your speed to the things around you. you should always
know whats going on around you.
When driving never assume that everyone else knows what their
doing drive defensively. most people will trust the other drivers will stop
when their supposed to and fallow all of the traffic laws without even
thinking, but that's how accidents happen. you can not always trust that
everyone on the road is going to do as they should. You shouldn't assume that at
a four way stop after you stop that the car that is coming to the intersection
is going to stop, wait a few seconds and make sure that they really are going
to stop, then proceed.
Drowsy driving is extremely dangerous, your reaction time is
slower, awareness is decreased and judgment is impaired, it can be just as
dangerous as driving drunk. not only are you putting yourself at risk by driving
when tired, but you are also putting those on the road around you at risk. If
you are drowsy don't drive, if you absolutely need to be somewhere you can have
someone else drive, don't put others at risk.
Adjusting your driving habits to the weather is very important
while you are driving. if the road is slick or wet you should be sure to drive
a little slower, and to increase your breaking distance (distance it takes you
to come to a complete stop). If a huge storm is coming it may be necessary to
pull over and wait for the storm to pass over, even if it interferes with your curfew, yours and other peoples safety is more important.
Obey traffic signals and signs. If no one obeyed traffic signals
or signs that driving world would be chaos. there are reason for traffic signal
and obeying them will limit your risk of getting in an accident.
Night time driving for beginning drivers can be dangerous, it is
harder to drive at night because it can be difficult to see, sometimes street
lights and head lights are not good enough for people to be able to see, if you
feel that it is difficult to see at night then you should have another person
drive, or limit your night driving time. Make sure that if you do drive at
night to keep a close eye on everything around you.
Teens are the most likely age group to not wear a seat belt, and i
can not stress enough how dangerous that it is. when you don't wear a seat belt
you can be thrown through the car windshield. Wearing a seat belt can save your
life in an accident.
Dancing and music
Dancing and music go together like 2 peas in a pod. I do not
know about everyone but everyone that I know cannot help dancing when there is
a good beat playing. There is something about it that just makes you want to
move. Whether you are a good dancer or not dancing can always be fun. You can
do anything from the salsa to wall twerking.
Some dancing can be playful and flirty, while others can be
graceful and beautiful. Some can be naughty and sexual, some can be just simply
dorky (like the robot) dancing isn’t just something to do when you are bored,
it is a sport. Its watched by people all over the world, there are competitions
that are held and can win people a large sum of money.
There are dance competitions at young ages, and people
devote their lives to dance just like they do music, they go hand in hand and
can make something beautiful! Not only can music sound beautiful but it can
create people to preform beautifully!
I myself have never been a good dancer, but music has always
been a big part of my life and because of this I watch competitions a lot. I
judge based on how the dance makes the music come to life. A dance can tell the
story of the song, or it can tell a story of what a song means to that person.
It makes the music have even more feeling and gives it a little oomph. I love
dance almost as much as I love music itself.
Next time you dance with your friend let the music speak to
you and base your dance moves come from the music, If you aren’t an actual
dancer you will probably look like a huge dork, but you will also have way more
fun!

Father Daughter Dance
Me and my father have always, and hopefully always will be, close. When I was little I would always play princess and he would be my prince and dance with me. This is kind of weird to think about now, however it also makes me miss my father, and makes me not want to grow up!
This post is less about music and a little more about growing up. Its sad to think that one day you grow up and you're just "to old" to play princess with your dad, or have tea parties etc. But let me tell you something, you are never to old! never think you're to old to do anything (except for wearing piggy tails when you're over the age of 10) Last night my nephew was watching the movie Frozen and my dad decided out of the blue to get up from his seat come over to me give me his hand, bow, and ask me to dance. I of course said "Why thank you kindly sir! I would be honored to dance with such a lovely gentleman!" So we got up and started to dance! he twirled me around as my nephew clapped and clapped, and this is what made me realize that I didn't want to grow up! That no matter what, it always felt good to dance with my father!
I love my dad more than just about anything, and he can always cheer me up, whether it be something as simple as giving me a hug or making a huge effort and trying to dance with me! If you love your daddy, I'm more than sure that he would love it if you would like to dance with him, because I know for a fact that every dad, as they watch their little girl (who may not be so little any more) grow up they miss the little things you did as a girl. I remember the day I stopped playing princess, the day I started hanging out with my friends more and more and my father less and less, my dad is my best friend, he always will be, however sometimes things get in the way. As you grow up you grow apart, and you develop into your own person. That is what scares every parent the most! did they raise you up well enough to be a well developed person on your own? Did they mess up somewhere along the line?
Parents are who mold you into who you are, and if you have good ones like I do, remember who you were when you were young, and show them that you are still that little girl, but that you are also so much more! Give your father that dance he misses! You're NEVER to young!

As you grow up you grow apart, and you develop into your own person. That is what scares every parent the most! did they raise you up well enough to be a well developed person on your own? Did they mess up somewhere along the line?
Parents are who mold you into who you are, and if you have good ones like I do, remember who you were when you were young, and show them that you are still that little girl, but that you are also so much more! Give your father that dance he misses! You're NEVER to young!
Babies and music
I don't know about all babies, this is just based of the ones that I know well. Like my nephew for instance, he LOVES music! Any kind of music really. I don't know what it is but he loves to dance, he totally puts himself out there. He likes everything, if its rock music, he will head bang, if its rap he baby break dances, he twirls with some types, sways with others. He has this one specific toy that plays music that he will turn on and dance to, when it turns off he cries and goes to turn it back on.
Like I said I don't know if this is the same with all babies, but I do know that music can even bring babies extreme happiness, and change their emotions entirely. I love my nephew more than anything in this world, and so far we share a common love for music. Not only does he dance to music, like I’ve said 100 times before, he loves all kinds of music. He will literally dance to anything.
To show you that even babies love to dance, I’m going to post some baby dancing videos!

simple fun with music
Music is an amazing thing, i know i stress this in every post, however i
completely agree with it! Since I'm having a bad case of writers block, I've
decided to go into detail about a time that i had a great time listening to
music.
The summer of 2013 was the summer i became best friends with Allie Payne, she is still my best friend to this day. Although we are very different we are also similar in a lot of ways and are pretty much perfect as best friends.
Some of my best memories were from last summer. Allie had a foreign exchange student named Cilea and Allie and I showed her all about what it was like to be a teenager in Cedar Rapids Iowa. This involved pretty much just driving around town blasting music. Me and Allie don't really listen to the same thing music wise, however we both agreed that we should listen to more of a pop type music because that's what Celia seemed to like.
One day we all decided to go to Palo beach and so we all piled into Allies little two door Ford Escort and book it to the beach, on the way there we were blasting Katy Perry and we were all screaming it on the top of our lungs while speeding waaaay to fast down the road! We were having a blast and didn't care about anything else. We were literally carefree. This is and forever will be one of my favorite summers. we danced in the rain, splashed in puddles, drove everywhere (also with the music blasting) and were inseparable, all three of us were always together, and sometimes they guys were there too. We jumped in the river from the docs, we swam all the time, we were constantly outside and constantly having a blast!
Although this doesn’t have much to do with music, I thought that they were good memories and they remind me of how music can bring us together. Allie is my best friend, and although we fight, there is nothing that will ever truly separate us, and music is one of the things that will keep us together, we listen to very different things, but both of us will always listen to what the other wants, we take turns and sometimes find that we like what it is the other chose. Oath is our song and it is so perfect to describe our relationship. I love Allie, and I love music.
