Listening to it as I was coming back from shopping tonight.  Amazing how it used to be me.  Now, I know it's not.

Build a wall
Of books
Between us in our bed.
Repeat,
Repeat the words I know we both said.
Relax into the need we get so comfortable.
Remember when i was so strange and likeable

I just want back in your head.
I just want back in your head.
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray -
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little...

When
I jerk away
From holding hands with you.
I know these habits hurt
Important parts of you.
Remember when how sweet and unexplainable
Nothing like this person unloveable.

I just want back into your head.
-Tegan and Sara, "Back Into Your Head"

What were your top 10 favorite songs or albums of 2007?

Hmmm...things that I discovered in 2007 that may be older or new music?  And why 10?
The ones that come to mind (in no particular order):

• Ike Reilly Assassination - We Belong to the Staggering Evening
• Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC
• The Stooges - The Weirdness (this was a surprise - it's a very good album)
• Tegan and Sara - The Con
• She Wants Revenge - This is Forever (good but not as good as their first)

I've been meaning to post some more Tegan and Sara after the concert last Wednesday.  This is one of the many songs from the new album that I like.

I miss you now
I guess like
I should have missed you then.
My body moves
Like curtains waving
In and out of wind,
In and out of windows.

I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I feel and what would matter most.
I can't get close,
I can't get close.
And now there's just no point,
In reaching out for me
In the dark.
I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark.
It won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud
That nothing will seem easy about me.

But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life
Telling you I don't need.
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life
Telling you I don't need.

I'll tell you now
I guess like
I should have told you then.
The thunder moves
Like damn drawers
Slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework.

I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I know and what should matter most
I can't get close,
I can't get close.
And now there's just no point,
In reaching out for you.
-Tegan and Sara, “Relief Next To Me”
 

I know I've posted Tegan and Sara lyrics before, but I've had this one in my head for a couple days.

I won't mistake you
For problems with me.
I won't let my moods ruin this
You'll see.
I won't take everything good and move it away.
I won't be left dancing along
To songs from the past.

Would you stay home and keep our memories warm with me?
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me?

I know you're sad
Even though you say that you're not.
I know you're scared
Even though you say that you're not.
I won't get mad
When you say things are getting too hard
I won't make all of your love so scared to come through our yard.
I won't scream in my head
And let it isolate me.
I won't be left dancing along to songs from the past.
- Tegan and Sara. "I Won't Be Left"

From a cute duo that I just discovered.

Well, there's not a lot for you to give
If you're giving in
And there's not a lot for you to feel
if you're not feeling it
You bring it up and bring it in and we'll get you fixed up in no time.
What I wanted most
What I wanted most
What I wanted most
Was to get myself all figured out.
-Tegan and Sara "Fix You Up"
