dave barnes

most people haven't heard of this character dave barnes and that's unfortunate; however, i have and i'm going to share my wonderful discovery on this!

i love music. yes e v e r y o n e says this in their about me, interest, favorite music, etc and how life would be purposeless without it..or the infamous "MY LIFE IS MUSIC" (yup- that line is in my myspace and facebook profile) but what does that mean?...seriously! i don't know where i'm going with this thought but i guess my next "ponder" is how many of those people REALLY do love music that much...AND the one that question i really want to know is are they musically inclined somehow? do they sing, guitar, drums, piano?? i mean how did music become such a passion for everyone else...hidden talent i tell ya its everywhere.

anyway im listening to dave barnes right? well here are my feelings, the thoughts that consume so much of my energy that's mostly really unnecessary...another thing i'm working on! anyway these lyrics perfectly express my pre- mishawaka move and the day of...

until you(first verse)
let's just take our time
there's nothing else to do
what better way to spend the night
than wasted here with you
the moon has won the war
the daylight waits to win
stay here by my side
this will start again
-dave barnes



the L.A. song

she drives down on sunset with the windows down
just so she can let it in
she knows he's far-gone now, but there still are pieces
pieces there still left of him

he uses love like a bullet from a gun
she's careful like a surgeon
everywhere he goes they all know to run
but she can't help but love him
love him

there is a picture sitting by her bed
her reflection in his face
she has been meaning, meaning to move it
but it's always been his place

he uses love like a bullet from a gun
she's careful like a surgeon
everywhere he goes they all know to run
but she can't help but love him
love him

city of angels, everyone is sleeping
4 am and she's awake
she is moving, moving that picture
someone else will fill that space

someone else will fill that space
- dave barnes

something beautiful to say
i wish i had something beautiful to say,
but somehow silence takes that place.
so it's done with you pressed up against my chest,
i stay here, you head west.

goodbye is like moving a mountain,
bust to see what's on the other side.
but there i know you'll find...

right where you belong.

this city always seemed to break your heart,
you fought fierce but your friends always fell apart.
dusk falls and you're halfway there by now,
and all that's left is your lipstick on my brow.

goodbye is like moving a mountain,
just to see what's on the other side.
but there i know you'll find...

right where you belong.
-dave barnes

somehow saving you
texas at twilight,
you here on my mind.leaving gets harder,
with the more i leave behind.
i know that i can't have you,
so i'll convince myself.

this is the hardest thing i've ever done.
somehow saving you by moving on.

memphis at midnight,
hese nighlights fascinate.
but cities and their skylines,
can't keep you away.
i know i don't need you,
so i'll just tell myself.

this is the hardest thing I've ever done.
somehow saving you by moving on.

someone tell me i'll move on from this,
and I'll move on.
and every bit of you that's still in me will all be gone.

-dave barnes


okay so after listening to more of dave :-p i decided to blog certain songs separately...these will do just fine in this entry...

this post was out of pure selfishness, i justified posting it by telling myself i i don't desire that part in my life anymore...well at least in my heart i know it's not for me...i don't need to play guessing games, or put myself in position to fail... right now dating would be one of those. it's still hard, but i have realized lot of the time relationships tend
to confuse comfort with being in love. at least i did.
