At Home(Homeschool Rap)-JaladK


Lyrics:
We were at the library one day, readin books
Some public school kid was watching us, shootin looks
He came over and said, "you guys are so bizarre
Homeschooling always gives you a huge social scar
You're so antisocial, that you probly have no friends
You're such major dorks and you never follow trends
You guys are so nerdy look at what youre readin
Everything I see you do makes my eyes start bleedin"
We laughed at the hater and his ignorance
Then we broke it down with our lyrical brilliance
"Hey now man, why ya bein such a jerk
Listen now cause we gonna make you go berserk"

Oh, this is how we do it at home (at home) Yeah, You public school kids, we always own (always own) Oh, this is how we do it at home (listen son) And were about to show you how its done (how its done)

Homeschooling doesnt make you socially damaged.
We've got so many homies they can hardly be managed.
Now you say our clothes are practically illegal
Well check it out yo theyre from
American eagle We think that cursing makes you sound like a dope
If we did wed get our mouths washed out with soap
Our mom is our teacher, our dad our principal
They taught us all we know from the Holy Bible
And if you think were lame, hillbillies and such,
Well check it right here I got an iPod touch.
If you think were strange, well listen to this....
Thats actually kinda' true

Oh, this is how we do it at home (at home)
Yeah, You public school kids, we always own (always own)
Oh, this is how we do it at home (listen son)
And we're about to show you how its done (how its done)

We wake up in the morning, a little past twelve,
And straight into our school we begin to delve.
We start with physics, the sciences you see
And on certain days we go to BCC
We eat when we want, and snack as we please
IF we need a break we can take one with ease
Public school kids stick to the middle of the curve
While home schooled kids to the right we often swerve
For homeschoolers academics are a breeze
We always get good scores on the SATs
So, dont be hating on the home school family
We deserve respect, and Im sure you now agree.

Oh, this is how we do it at home (at home)
Yeah, You public school kids, we always own (always own)
Oh, this is how we do it at home (listen son)
And we just went and showed you how it done (how its done)

This song is in honor of all my homeschool buddies. Why yes, we do rock.

A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope





I will let this wonderful song speak for itself. <3
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as i stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven.

I dont wanna waste the weekend
If you dont love me, pretend a few more hours, then its time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
Its too late to cry
To broken to move on
And still i cant let you be
Most nights i hardly sleep
Don't take what you dont need from me

Its just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as i stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven.

Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
But a grace of god i do not rest at all
In new England as the leaves change
The last excuse ill claim, i was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
And still i cant let you be
Most nights i hardly sleep
Dont take what you dont need from me

Its just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as i stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my,

Heaven doesnt seem far away anymore no no
Heaven doesnt seem far away
Heaven doesnt seem far away anymore no no
Heaven doesnt seem far away

A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as i stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven.

You are my heaven

Twisted Every Way, "The Phantom of the Opera"




"We Have All Been Blind"

Raoul: We have all been blind and yet the answer is staring us in the face.
This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend.

Firmin and Andre: We're listening. Go on.

Raoul: We shall play his game, perform his work, but remember we hold the ace.
For if Ms. Daae sings, he is certain to attend.

Firmin/Andre: We are certain the doors are barred.
We are certain the police are there.

Raoul: We are certain they're armed.

Firmin/Andre/Raoul: The curtain falls, his reign will end.

"Twisted Every Way"

Christine (speaking): Raoul I'm frightened. Don't make me do this. It scares me.
Don't put me through this ordeal by fire.
He'll take me. I know. We'll be parted forever. He won't let me go.
What I once used to dream, I now dread. If he finds me it won't ever end.
(singing)
And he'll always be there singing songs in my head.
He'll always be there singing songs in my head.

Raoul: You said yourself he was nothing but a man,
yet while he lives he will haunt us 'til we're dead.

Christine: Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought. He murders all that's good.
I know I can't refuse, and yet I wish I could.
Oh God, if I agree what horrors wait for me, in this, the Phantom's opera?

Raoul: Christine, Christine don't think that I don't care,
but every hope, and every prayer rests on you now.

"Seal My Fate"


Phantom: Seal my fate tonight. I hate to have to cut the fun short.
But the jokes wearing thin, let the audience in, let my opera begin.

-------------------------------------

If you know me, you probably know that my favorite movie is The Phantom of the Opera. It's just such a beautiful story. "Twisted Every Way" has to be my favorite song in the whole film. (starts at 1:08. I couldn't find a video that didn't include "We Have All Been Blind") I just love the way she sings it, and the lyrics. It's just so beautiful.

Happy Together-Simple Plan

Here you go momma! Happy song!

This song, "Happy Together," has been remade a few times. It's originally by The Turtles. For some reason, the Beatles decided to remake the song, even though both versions of the song sound the same to me . . .(not a Beatles fan myself). In 2003, Simple Plan rocked the song out for the Disney movie starrig Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.






I, myself, can't really decide which version of the song is better, while I appreciate the rocker touch to the newer song, and it is more my taste, the original has more charm.

She Will Be Loved-Maroon 5

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls, yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
(Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
(I don't mind spending every day)
(Out on your corner in the pouring rain)
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye


This song is so bittersweet :') About a guy who is so loyal to a girl, who has had emotion hardships. However the relationship would never work as she "always belonged to someone else." This is an anthem for all the guys who could never get the girl (Phantom anyone?)

Red Eyes-Switchfoot


Lyrics:
what are you waiting for,
the day is gone?
I said I'm waiting for dawn

what are you aiming for
out here alone?
I said I'm aiming for home

holding on, holding on

with red eyes
What are you looking for?
with red eyes
red eyes

all of my days are spent
within this skin
within this cage that I'm in

nowhere feels safe to me
nowhere feels home
even in crowds I'm alone

holding on, holding on

every now and then I see you dreaming
every now and then I see you cry
every now and then I see you reaching,
reaching for the other side
what are you waiting for?

This is without a doubt my new favorite song in the absolute WHOLE wide world. It didn't take long for it to wrap itself around my heart. I first heard it . . .late saturday night and since have probably listen to it a million times and even drew a picture inspired by it. It's a very relatable song in the saddest, but most beautiful way.

About A Girl-The Academy is...

Lyrics:

One song about a girl
Can't breathe when I'm around her
I'll wait here everyday
In case she'll scratch the surface
She'll never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

WOO!

Last night I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines so well rehearsed
Tongue tied and overloaded
You'll never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl.
I'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl.

To be loved, To be loved
what more could you ask for?
To be loved, To be loved
everyone wants
To be loved, To be loved
what more could you ask for?
To be loved, To be loved
Everyone...
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

I'm not in love
(To be loved, To be loved, what more could you ask for?)
This is not your song
(To be loved, To be loved, everyone wants)
I'm not gonna waste these words
(To be loved, To be loved , what more could you ask for?)
About a girl.

Let me just start by saying, I think I am the only person I know that liked this song the first time they heard it. Honestly. Everyone I know that I have forced to listen to this song was like "Oh that's so stupid." (in fact the only reason I ever heard this song is by my little sister saying "I hate that song that's like "I don't love you! This song isn't about you!") Some of those people stubbornly keep that opinion while others have learned to love it like I do. I suppose this is just one of those songs that you either love, or don't. It is sorta angsty, but I tend to lean towards music like that.

Plus it reminds me about Fish. ♥

Dear Vienna-Owl City

Lyrics:
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Dont refocus your eyes in the darkness
And dont remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And well unravel the mystery

Farewell, all my friends in textbooks, Im going home
Cuz my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs
Theres a light show out my window somewhere way up there

Dear Vienna, are you singing?
Dear Vienna, are you swinging?
Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away

I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Dont refocus your eyes in the darkness
And dont remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And well unravel the mystery

I was so far out of place
Watching those stars in outer space
Cuz I am so far from where you are

Theres a light show out my window somewhere way up there

Dear Vienna, are you singing?
Dear Vienna, are you swinging?
Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away

I used to dislike this song. It took me awhile to learn to appreciate it. And now I can safely say it is my very favoritest song. There are s o many deep lines amongst the lyrics, but my very favorite part is "I was so far out of place/watching those stars in outerspace/cuz i'm so far from where you are" ♥
