Song of the Day: Call Me Maybe (Carly Rae Jepsen)

Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen

Album: Kiss

Genre: Teen Pop, Pop

Released: 2012

Lyrics:

I threw a wish in the well

Don't ask me I'll never tell

I looked at you as it fell

And now you're in my way

I trade my soul for a wish

Pennies and dimes for a kiss

I wasn't looking for this

But now you're in my way

Your stare was holding

Ripped jeans

Skin was showing

Hot night

Wind was blowing

Where you think you're going baby?

Hey I just met you

And this is crazy

But here's my number

So call me maybe

It's hard to look right at you baby

But here's my number

So call me maybe

Hey I just met you

And this is crazy

But here's my number

So call me maybe

And all the other boys

Try to chase me

But here's my number

So call me maybe

You took your time with the call

I took no time with the fall

You gave me nothing at all

But still you're in my way

I beg and borrow and steal

At first sight and it's real

I didn't know I would feel it

But it's in my way

Your stare was holding

Ripped jeans

Skin was showing

Hot night

Wind was blowing

Where you think you're going baby?

Hey I just met you

And this is crazy

But here's my number

So call me maybe

It's hard to look right at you baby

But here's my number

So call me maybe

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

I missed you so bad

I missed you so so bad

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

And you should know that

I missed you so so bad, bad, bad, bad....

It's hard to look right at you baby

But here's my number

So call me maybe

Hey I just met you

And this is crazy

But here's my number

So call me maybe

And all the other boys

Try to chase me

But here's my number

So call me maybe

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

I missed you so bad

I missed you so so bad

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

And you should know that

So call me, maybe

Song of the Day: Viva La Vida (Coldplay)

Viva La Vida by Coldplay

Album: Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends

Genre: Baroque Pop

Released: 2008

Lyrics:

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listened as the crowd would sing

Now the old king is dead long live the king

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you'd gone there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know St Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh ohh oh [x5]

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know St Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Song of the Day: American Idiot (Green Day)

American Idiot by Green Day

Album: American Idiot

Genre: Punk Rock

Released: 2004

Lyrics:

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs by Fall Out Boy

Album: Infinity on High

Genre: Alternative/Indie Rock

Released: 2007

Lyrics:

I'm gonna make you bend and break (It sent you to me without wait)

Say a prayer, but let the good times roll

In case God doesn't show (Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)

And I want these words to make things right

But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life

Who does he think he is?

If that's the worst you got, better put your fingers back to the key

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you, only sweeter

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

See, he tastes like you, only sweeter, oh

Been looking forward to the future

But my eyesight is going bad

In these crystal balls

It's always cloudy except for

When you look into the past

One night stand

(One night stand)

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you, only sweeter

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

See, he tastes like you, only sweeter, oh

I only think in the form of crunching numbers

In hotel rooms, collecting page six lovers

Get me out of my mind

Get you out of those clothes

I'm a liner away

From getting you into the mood

Whoa

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you, only sweeter

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

See, he tastes like you, only sweeter, oh

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you, only sweeter

One night, yeah, and one more time

(One night, one more time)

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

(For the memories, for the memories

See, he tastes like you, only sweeter

Song of the Day: Streets Of Philadelphia (Bruce Springsteen)

Streets Of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen

Album: Philadelphia: Music From the Motion Picture

Genre: Rock, Pop

Released: 1993

If you haven't seen the movie "Philadelphia" you must go watch it tonight! One of Tom Hanks' best acting performances. 

Lyrics:

I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt.
I was unrecognizable to myself.
Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face.
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia.

I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone, 
I heard the voices of friends, vanished and gone, 
At night I could hear the blood in my veins, 
It was just as black and whispering as the rain, 
On the streets of Philadelphia.

Ain't no angel gonna greet me.
It's just you and I my friend.
And my clothes don't fit me no more, 
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin.

Night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake, 
I can feel myself fading away, 
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss, 
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia.

Black Or White by Michael Jackson

Album: Michael Jackson's This Is It

Genre: Pop

Released: 1991

Macauley Culkin and his devilish child smirk makes a cameo in the video. 

Lyrics:

I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Boy is that girl with you 

Yes we're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles

And a miracle has happened tonight

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

They print my message in the Saturday Sun

I had to tell them I ain't second to none

And I told about equality and it's true

Either you're wrong or you're right

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I am tired of this devil

I am tired of this stuff

I am tired of this business

Sew when the going gets rough

I ain't scared of your brother

I ain'ts scared of no sheets

I ain't scared of nobody

Girl when the goin' gets mean

Protection 

For gangs, clubs, and nations

Causing grief in human relations

It's a turf war on a global scale

I'd rather hear both sides of the tale

See, it's not about races

Just places

Faces

Where your blood comes from

Is were your space is

I've seen the bright get duller

I'm not going to spend my life being a color

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinkin' of being my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother

It don't matter if you're black or white

Ooh, ooh

Yea, yea, yea now

Ooh, ooh

Yea, yea, yea now

It's black, it's white

It's tough for them to get by

It's black, it's white, (x3) whoo

Song of the Day: I Knew I Loved You (Savage Garden)

I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden

Album: Affirmation

Genre: Pop

Released: 1999

Lyrics: 

Maybe it's intuition

But some things you just don't question

Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant

And there it goes,

I think I found my best friend

I know that it might sound

More than a little crazy

But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason

Only the sense of completion

And in your eyes, I see

The missing pieces I'm searching for

I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound

More than a little crazy

But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you

I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

BLOG: The Blame Game

By now everyone has heard the latest news the GOP health plan that was supposed to replace Obamacare fell through the cracks. While many can argue that the GOP's plan was terrible and would result in millions of Americans losing coverage, it goes far beyond that. It goes beyond being a win for the Democrats.

In the aftermath of the bill's defeat, President Donald Trump did not look good. He certainly did not handle himself in away a leader should carry himself when a bill he supports gets defeated. Instead of taking the moral, political, high-ground "we're going to look into this bill and see where we can strengthen its weaknesses but we will be back," President Trump went on the offensive.

He blamed the GOP's bill on the Democratic party and went further elaborating when Obamacare fails it will be all the Democrats fault.

Oh President Trump boy do you have a lot to learn about leadership. First, although Obamacare was created and passed by a Democrat, but it doesn't mean if it falters it will be the Democratic party's fault. If one were to place blame, it would be on who is currently in office. It is your job as the leader of this nation to make sure things don't fall through the cracks and in the occurrence somethings do fall, it is your job to accept responsibility. That's what a leader does.

A leader steps up, accepts responsibility and makes sure it doesn't happen again. One of the best examples is former President John F. Kennedy after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. At the time President Kennedy was barely in his fourth month as President with a very veteran staff that he was relying on. That was his downfall. He relied on his staff too much.

Just because Kennedy had experience in Robert McNamara as Secretary of Defense and Dean Rusk as his Secretary of State, it doesn't mean they are controlling what's going on. Kennedy still had to make the decision. This didn't happen with the Bay of Pigs. He relied on his staff telling him what to do instead of him making the decision.

But Kennedy learned from his failures in the Bay of Pigs. A little over a year later he had another chance when CIA learned the Soviet Union were building and storing missiles on the Communist island of Cuba - 90 miles from Key West. Kennedy didn't make the same mistake he didn't push the red-button, he called the Soviet Union's bluff and ended up coming out on top.

Going back to the failed GOP healthcare plan this is not the end. It is only the beginning and it's not about healthcare. It's about can President Trump look at this situation and be self-reflective? Ask himself the question "what did we do wrong and how can I correct it?" If he can truly do that and rectify his shortcomings then things will work out but if he can't then it will be tough for all parties involved. Only time will tell.

Lyrics:

Baby set me free

From this misery

I can't take it no more

Since you ran away

Nothing's been the same

Don't know what I'm living for

Here I am so alone

And there's nothing in this world I can do

Until you're back here baby

Miss you want you need you so

Until you're back here baby

There's a feeling inside

I want you to know

You are the one and I can't

Let you go

So I told you lies

Even made you cry

Baby I was so wrong

Girl I promise you

Now my love is true

This is where my heart belongs

'Cause here I am so alone

And there's nothing in this world I can do

Until you're back here baby

Miss you want you need you so

Until you're back here baby

There's a feeling inside

I want you to know

You are the one and I can't

Let you go

And I wonder (wonder)

Are you thinking of me

'Cause I'm thinking of you

And I wonder (wonder)

Are you ever coming back in my life

'Cause here I am so alone

And there's nothing in this world I can do

Until you're back here baby

Miss you want you need you so

Until you're back here baby

There's a feeling inside

I want you to know

You are the one and I can't

Until you're back here baby

(J. R.)

Everybody's looking for love

Ain't that the reason you're at this club?

You ain't gon' find it dancing with him

I've got a better solution for you, girl

Just leave with me now, say the word and we'll go

I'll be your teacher, I'll show you the ropes

You'll see the the side of love you've never known

I can see it going down

In my head, I see you all over me

In my head, you fulfill my fantasy

In my head, you'll be screaming loud

In my head, it's going down [x2]

In my head [x2]

Some dudes know all the right things to say

When it comes down to it, it's all just game

Instead of talking, let me demonstrate

Get down to business and skip foreplay

Just leave with me now, say the word and we'll go

I'll be your teacher, I'll show you the ropes

You'll see the the side of love you've never known

I can see it going down

In my head, I see you all over me

In my head, you fulfill my fantasy

In my head, you'll be screaming loud

In my head, it's going down [x2]

In my head

Break it down, come on, let's go

You're singing to me baby in my head right now

She'll be screaming out when it all goes down

Just leave with me now, say the word and we'll go

I'll be your teacher, I'll show you the ropes

You'll see the the side of love you've never known

I can see it going down

In my head, I see you all over me

In my head, you fulfill my fantasy

In my head, you'll be screaming loud

In my head, it's going down [x2]

In my head, I see you all over me

In my head, you fulfill my fantasy

In my head, you'll be screaming loud

In my head, it's going down [x2]

Song of the Day: Badlands (Bruce Springsteen)

Badlands by Bruce Springsteen

Album: Darkness on the Edge of Town

Genre: Rock

Released: 1978

Lyrics:

Lights out tonight,
Trouble in the heartland,
Got a head on collision,
Smashin' in my guts, man,
I'm caught in a cross fire,
That I don't understand,
But there's one thing I know for sure, girl,
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes,
Baby, I don't give a damn
For just the in-betweens,
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul,
I want control right now,
You better listen to me, baby

Talk about a dream,
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night,
With a fear so real,
You spend your life waiting,
For a moment that just don't come,
Well, don't waste your time waiting,

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep pushin' 'til it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good.

Workin' in the fields
'til you get your back burned,
Workin' 'neath the wheels
'til you get your facts learned,
Baby, I got my facts
Learned real good right now,
You better get it straight, darlin'
Poor man wanna be rich,
Rich man wanna be king,
And a king ain't satisfied,
'til he rules everything,
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got

Well, I believe in the love that you gave me,
I believe in the faith that can save me,
I believe in the hope and I pray,
That someday it may raise me
Above these badlands

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep pushin' 'til it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good.

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside,
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these...

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep movin' 'til it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa badlands!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa badlands!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa badlands!
Whoa whoa whoa

Will You Be There by Michael Jackson feat. Cleveland Orchestra

Album: Dangerous

Released: 1991

Who doesn't think of "Free Willy" and Jesse's relationship with a killer whale when they hear this song?

Lyrics: 

Hold me

Like the River Jordan

And I will then say to thee

You are my friend

Carry me

Like you are my brother

Love me like a mother

Will you be there?

When weary

Tell me will you hold me

When wrong, will you scold me

When lost will you find me?

But they told me

A man should be faithful

And walk when not able

And fight till the end

But I'm only human

Everyone's taking control of me

Seems that the world's got a role for me

I'm so confused will you show to me

You'll be there for me

And care enough to bear me
