I've remixed a few of the songs that I thought sounded less than good when I hooked up the computer to my stereo. Also, I didn't post "Baggage" here and I found out that when I post songs on blogspot they are listed in google searches. It actually feels pretty nice to have my songs come up when they are keyworded, so I am just going to make a mass post with most of the songs I have up. The remixes are really worth it too, especially since I rerecorded the vocals on the chorus of "No Longer Hero" and changed the melody slightly.
ENJOY!

Okay, this is Important. I know that most people do NOT listen to the music I post here, but I need everyone who considers themselves my friend to listen to this one for a couple of reasons. First of all, it's the closest thing to an actual song that people spend money on that I have ever managed to generate. And second, these are deeply personal lyrics that in effect are like as if I was writing an actual post about my life. That said, these are probably the most depressing lyrics I have ever written and I don't need consolation or advice or anything other than for you to just take the 5 minutes to listen. Comments here should be about the quality (or lack there of) of the song, not of the subject of the lyrics. The only comment I want to read about them is if they are poetically pleasing or not. I hate to be this demanding, but it is important to me that the few people who are in my life even in the most minimal way take 5 minutes to just listen to something that is important to me. Thank you for your time & understanding. Because of the sensitive nature of the lyrics I am only posting the chorus here. The rest you'll have to listen for.

May I Please Have 5 Minutes of Your Time?

CHORUS:
I'm still wearing the 3 year old scar
From the last time you said "I Love You"
Note: Picosong continues to be having some issue with doubling the track on a 10 second or so delay. The easiest way to fix this is just to press STOP on the song slider and the ghost track will play one time. Also, this may be fixed and not relevant soon, but for now...

It's that time of the Month Again!
Don't Leave
It's been on my mind
What if you were me and I was you
Would we then have been alright
Could we have managed to pull through
I can be a pigheaded jackass
and you can be the queen of sweet
There's no question, I made this mess
But if switched would I have used my feet
Because I don't leave
You know I don't leave
Because I don't leave
I may be a lot of things, but I don't leave
You know I did it too
Stormed out all in a rage
I needed to let my mind cool
And learn how to turn the page
I know that I was the fool
But I always managed to come back
I couldn't imagine life without you
My heart always stayed on track
Because I don't leave
You know I don't leave
Because I don't leave
I may be a lot of things, but I don't leave
I've got freedom now that I don't really want
Because it feels more like a prison of loneliness
It is hard to live with myself since you've been gone
I can't seem to find a way to clean all of this mess
Because I don't leave
You know I don't leave
Because I don't leave
I may be a lot of things, but I don't leave

Welcome to the song of the month club!
No Longer HERO
When you go down to visit do your parents think
thank God it's him and not me?
I never got to tell them how I really felt
like they were my family
I did some terrible things that should have never been done,
but I also did things that helped you succeed
I bought you education and pushed you to study,
so you could someday have your dream
I know I'm the - HERO in your life anymore
But please don't make me into the Villain
I know it's not enough and I should have been more,
but I wasn't as quick as you to learn
But I want you to know I would have kept trying,
because it was your respect I wanted to earn
So now I sit alone just lamenting my loss
and wishing I had done more
I know you've moved on, I know you're with him,
I just hope you remember the good things I've done
I know I'm the - HERO in your life anymore
But please don't make me into the Villain
Because I Still...

Maybe I should just rename this thing Alex's musical blog of never ending songitude!
Not Your Lover
Like a car driving down the highway we push the accelerator
and feel our bodies pressed against the seat
But we can only go so fast because the end of this road
is a dead end; a one way street
The distance between us can't be measured in miles
because no matter how fast you drive, you still have to go
It's at that point where all things break down
and we realize that we are both covered in snow
I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone
The gleaming sweat off our bodies isn't really enough
to fool us into thinking you'll never have to leave
But just for these moments the heat coalescing
will let the truth go on to be deceived
A minute later it is Sunday and you'll be stepping out
back on the road to a place more like home
It takes a few hours for it to really sink in
and only then do I realize that we are both alone
I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone
I don't feel like a lover
No, I am not your lover
I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone
Like a car driving down the highway we push the accelerator
and feel our bodies pressed against the seat
But we can only go so fast because the end of this road
is a dead end; a one way street
The distance between us can't be measured in miles
because no matter how fast you drive, you still have to go
It's at that point where all things break down
and we realize that we are both covered in snow
I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone
The gleaming sweat off our bodies isn't really enough
to fool us into thinking you'll never have to leave
But just for these moments the heat coalescing
will let the truth go on to be deceived
A minute later it is Sunday and you'll be stepping out
back on the road to a place more like home
It takes a few hours for it to really sink in
and only then do I realize that we are both alone
I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone
I don't feel like a lover
No, I am not your lover
I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone

Depressing songs pour out of me like...
CO2 - O
As I drive around in this old car
I remember all the places we went near & far
How you put your hand on my knee
And felt my muscles flex as we gained speed
CHORUS
But now this car is breaking down
It's getting loud and full of bad sounds
It is a collection of parts
With no place to go without it's heart
CHORUS
Now how do I go?
When I've lost all that I know
Everything is falling apart
And there is no repair
CHORUS
As I drive around in this old car
I remember all the places we went near & far
How you put your hand on my knee

CHORUS
But now this car is breaking down
It's getting loud and full of bad sounds
It is a collection of parts
With no place to go without it's heart
CHORUS
Now how do I go?
When I've lost all that I know
Everything is falling apart
And there is no repair

Never Ending Winter
Never Ending Winter
This winter is so cold and is going for far too long
It seems to last forever since the time you've been gone
My head is deep & buried under this mountain of snow
Like the boy without the paddle I can't find a way to go
And I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
This winter never ends and it chills me to my core
It all started when she left and walked out through our door
Then the cold came rushing in and made all feelings into white
Like the world at the poles all day without any light
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
How can I live
Knowing what I did
I lost it all
And taken the fall
And I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
This winter is so cold and is going for far too long
It seems to last forever since the time you've been gone
My head is deep & buried under this mountain of snow
Like the boy without the paddle I can't find a way to go
And I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
This winter never ends and it chills me to my core
It all started when she left and walked out through our door
Then the cold came rushing in and made all feelings into white
Like the world at the poles all day without any light
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
How can I live
Knowing what I did
I lost it all
And taken the fall
And I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream

- diatribein
- I'm a terribly unserious guy who has a strong dislike for corporations and the lifestyle that we've become accustom to because of them. My dislike of corporations centres on how they make people feel about themselves and the brainwashing they engage in. Needless to say my politics fall somewhat further to the left of anything currently in place on planet earth. That, and I tend to go off on diatribes about similarly themed subjects, so thus I have named this blog appropriately. On the other hand I can be desperately silly sometimes as well. So you'll have to deal with both if you decide to become an avid reader of this here blog. I've been known to post music and pictures in the past too. This could either be a selling point or yet another reason to run and hide. I leave it up to you to decide.
