Christian music?

From an atheist?!

What is the world coming to!?!

Haha!  Okay, yes, Skillet is a Christian band, but this song is just awesome!  I found the video when my brother was asking me about the song and my mom wanted to know why he wanted a song called “Monster” on his phone.  I cracked up laughing and told her it was actually a really awesome song that happened to be a Christian song!

Naturally, I went to youtube assuming that someone had added the song and a lyrics video to the site so my mom could hear it and I discovered that there’s an official video!  The video is funny, by the way!

Soooo, enjoy!  :-D

The secret side of me,
I never let you see,
I keep it caged but I can’t control it.
So stay away from me,
The beast is ugly,
I feel the rage and I just can’t hold it.

It’s scratching on the walls,
In the closet, in the halls.
It comes awake and I can’t control it.
Hiding under the bed,
In my body, in my head,
Why won’t somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It’s just beneath the skin,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I hate what I’ve become,
The nightmare’s just begun,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!

My secret side I keep,
Hid under lock and key,
I keep it caged, but I can’t control it.
‘Cause if I let him out,
He’ll tear me up, break me down,
Why won’t somebody come and save me from this.
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It’s just beneath the skin,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I hate what I’ve become,
The nightmare’s just begun,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I feel it deep within,
It’s just beneath the skin,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!

Its hiding in the dark,
Its teeth are razor sharp.
There’s no escape for me,
It wants my soul, it wants my heart.

No one can hear me scream,
Maybe its just a dream.
Or maybe its inside of me,
Stop this monster.

I feel it deep within,
It’s just beneath the skin,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I hate what I’ve become,
The nightmare’s just begun,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I feel it deep within,
It’s just beneath the skin,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I’ve gotta lose control,
Here’s something, let it go,
I must confess that I feel like a monster.

I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!

Dream – “He Loves You Not”

Soo…  I’ve been in a poppy mood lately.  Yesterday I woke up with the desire to listen to Savage Garden.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that!  (See your “bonus video” at the end for proof!”)  It was just a bit unusual for me to wake up with a “song craving” at all.

Earlier today I used the Genius Mixes feature on my iPod to listen to the mix they labeled as “teen pop” and I was thoroughly enjoying myself.  Especially when this song came on!  :-D  I love this song!

Give it your all girl, give it all ya got,
You can take a chance, and take your best shot.
I see what you want girl, and whatcha do;
He’s never gonna, gonna make it with you.

Your pullin’ petals of a flower tryin’ to get your way.
Keep pullin’ til its says what you want it to say.
Girl you can pick a field full of daisies,
But he’d still be my baby.

I know you can hardly wait ’til I’m away from him;
Instinctively, I know what your thinkin’.
You’ll be givin’ him an open invitation,
But my baby won’t be taken in…

You can pout your cherry lips,
Try to tempt him with a sweet kiss,
You can flirt your pretty eyes,
He ain’t got his hands tied…

No chains to unlock,
So free to do what he wants,
He’s into what he’s got,
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do,
He’s never gonna be with you,
He’s into what he’s got,
He loves me, he loves you not.

You’re the kinda girl that’s always up for do-or-dare,
Only want him just because he’s there.
Always lookin for a new ride,
The grass is greener on the other side.
You’re the kinda girl who’s not used to hearing no,
All your lovers try to take you where you wanna go,
Doesn’t matter how hard you try,
Your never gonna get away with my guy.

No chains to unlock,
So free to do what he wants,
He’s into what he’s got,
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do,
He’s never gonna be with you,
He’s into what he’s got,
He loves me, he loves you not.

Doesn’t matter what you do, he’s never gonna be with you

Give it your all girl, give it all ya got,
You can take a chance, and take your best shot.
I see what you want girl, and whatcha do;
He’s never gonna, gonna make it with you.

You can pout your cherry lips,
Try to tempt him with a sweet kiss,
You can flirt your pretty eyes,
He ain’t got his hands tied…

No chains to unlock,
So free to do what he wants,
He’s into what he’s got,
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do,
He’s never gonna be with you,
He’s into what he’s got,
He loves me, he loves you not.

No chains to unlock,
So free to do what he wants,
He’s into what he’s got,
And that’s me.
He loves me, he loves you not.
No matter what you do,
He’s never gonna be with you,
He’s into what he’s got,
And that’s me.
He loves me, he loves you not.

I think tomorrow I’m going to be in the mood for some Disney songs.  I have a very special one that I plan to share.  ;-)

Anyways, I found my iPod not too long ago (I had forgotten that I had it it was missing so long!) and since then haven’t made any new mix CDs.

I especially enjoy the one Nox Arcana song that I included. It’s awesome!

My favorite Christmas song inspired the name of the playlist.

The two songs with the artist listed as “Various” are from the album “Blue Collar Christmas Redneck Style.”

A few songs are duplicated, but mostly because I like each version.

Play – “I Must Not Chase the Boys”

This song is soo cute! And the wanna-be goth style of the video is just too cute. This is an older song, and it’s written specifically for younger girls just learning about boys and the truth about cooties, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. :-p

Won’t someone tell me what is happening to me?
Why am I so misunderstood?
Why can’t they see?
Now I’m caught between the devil,
And the angel that I used to be.

They say I’ll understand it all in good time,
But age ain’t nothin’ but a number in my mind.
Goin’ crazy with this push me pull me,
Caught between wrong and right…

I wanna give in to the woman in me,
I wanna be someone they don’t want me to be.
The moral of the story is I got no choice…
I must not chase the boys…

I started writing down my deepest secrets;
Seven days a week of truth and fantasy…
I got the feelin’ that the way my life has
Got to be prepared for changes.

Won’t someone tell me what is happening to me?
Why am I so misunderstood?
Why can’t they see?
Now I’m caught between the devil,
And the angel that I used to be.

I wanna give in to the woman in me,
I wanna be someone they don’t want me to be.
The moral of the story is I got no choice…
I must not chase…

I wanna go left but they tell me go right.
Don’t wanna be the little girl they kissin’ goodnight.
The moral of the story is I got no choice…
I must not chase…

They can try to make me write a thousand lines,
But that won’t ever change the way I feel inside.
They’ve got their opinions but I just don’t care.
Cause that’s not what I wanna hear…

I, I must, I must not chase the boys.
I, I must, I must not chase the boys.
I must, I must, I must not…
Chase…
The boys…

I wanna give in to the woman in me,
I wanna be someone they don’t want me to be.
The moral of the story is I got no choice…
I must not chase…

I wanna go left but they tell me go right.
Don’t wanna be the little girl they kissin’ goodnight.
The moral of the story is I got no choice…
I must not chase…
The boys…

And I’m still looking for the perfect video plugin to use.  :-p

Taylor Swift – “You Belong With Me”

I absolutely love this song!  I’ve been singing it all day and driving people nuts!  Taylor swift is insanely talented and so adorable, too!  I love how she gets the guy in the end instead of the girlfriend who makes him unhappy.  After all, everyone deserves to be happy, especially when they have smiles that can “light up the whole town!”

You’re on the phone with your girlfriend; shes upset.
Shes going off about something that you said.
‘Cause she doesn’t get your humor like I do…
I’m in the room, it’s a typical Tuesday night,
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like,
But she’ll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts,
I wear T-shirts.
She’s cheer captain,
And I’m on the bleachers.
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find that what you’re looking for
Has been here the whole time!

If you could see that I’m the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can’t you see,
You belong with me…
You belong with me…

Walkin’ the streets with you and your worn-out jeans,
I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be.
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself…
Hey isn’t this easy!

And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town,
I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you’re fine I know you better then that.
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers.
She’s cheer captain,
And I’m on the bleachers.
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find that what you’re looking for
Has been here the whole time!

If you could see that I’m the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can’t you see,
You belong with me…
Standing by and waiting at your back door.
All this time how could you not know, baby….
You belong with me…
You belong with me…

Oh, I remember you drivin’ to my house in the middle of the night,
I’m the one who makes you laugh,
When you know you’re about to cry.
And I know your favorite songs,
And you tell me about your dreams,
Think I know where you belong,
Think I know it’s with me…

Can’t you could see that I’m the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can’t you see,
You belong with me…
Standing by and waiting at your back door.
All this time how could you not know, baby….
You belong with me…
You belong with me…

You belong with me…

Have you ever thought just maybe…
You belong with me…
You belong with me…

Oh, at some point during the next week or so, I’m going to be replacing all the videos that are embedded in my site from other locations with copies of the videos hosted here.  I noticed that a couple are no longer available from YouTube for one reason or another and that frustrates me.  The only reason that I haven’t already done it is because I’m still looking for the perfect video plugin to use.  :-p
