Wow. Lights= amazing. How did I not realize this when I saw her with Craig Owens? It often takes me a long time to get into bands with female singers, I don't know why. But anyways, it's Thursday and I promised a song analogie, so here it is, "Drive My Soul" -- Lights.

To me, this song is about well, innocent simple love. But then it gets complicated, to the point where the other person, in this case, the guy is never around, and no matter where he is, she always uses him as her guide map. Like he is constantly on her mind and she makes desicions as if he was still there. At first I thought this was a post-break up song, because it says "when you're gone, will I lose control?" but really I see the meaning is a relationship with complications, perhaps the girl is more attached than he is, and she knows that once it's over, it will hurt and she know's she needs to move on, she just needs some one to "drive my soul".

This is one of the prettier electronic songs I've heard. Lights sounds very good live, but they took FOREVER to set up their various keyboards and amps. More than usual bands. They are also cool because she plays this song on a keytar. The music video has a really cool space-y vibe to it, something you'd expect from Lights. She stays true to her style, tight tank dress and headbands. She is just a bit too thin, a strong wind could knock over that girl.

Anyways. now onto my day. School. I'm about to embark on a babysitting adventure, YES, money! Finnaly, I need a steady income before I start feeling like a trust fund babay. In other news, I've been extremely happy lately. Just moving past small set backs and looking at big picture stuff. The positivity is great, and honestly I don't care about my critics. The people who constantly find joy out of putting me down, I don't care. Say what you want. If you rain on my parade, I'll break out the rain boots and dance. Treat me like shit and I'll smile through it all. Use me as toy for your amusement, do it, I swear that when I'm laughing I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at your pathetic attempt to make me feel small. I sick and tired of being sick and tired, (lol) and I'm through with listening to everyone. I make my own desicions, and no matter how much control you think you have over me. You don't, not anymore.

I'm done running at your pace. Now its you're turn to keep up with mine.
