Music is ever constant in my life. Consciously and unconsciously it mirrors my feelings. When I don't listen to music I feel empty. Music fills me and I overflow. I can express through music things I didn't know were there. Music is love. Music is life. Music is me.

I added the lyrics to Hanne Hukkelberg's album "rykestraße 68" and as ypu can tell by the lyrics from the song "Pynt" which are in another language I didn't transcribe these myself. Luckily all the lyrics where on her official site so all I did was copy them here. I tried to leave them alone as much as possible but there were a few mistakes and some background lyrics thatwere missing. Oh another subject for some reason the music in my head has been turned up to 11 lately. My usual practice is when a song pops into my head I listen to it. Thats the only way to get it out of my head. Lately the opposite has been happening. I listen to the song and it resonates and I'm forced to listen to the song over and over again. Last night I decided to just let the song play in my head figuring it would wear itself out. Unfortunately the song only played louder and louder. Once it started to become deafening I decided to cut it off and band it from my mind all together. Strangely enough when I did this I started to hear children's voices echoing as if they were playing in a hallway. This turned out to be the background sounds that play at the start of one on Hanne Hukkelberg's songs. My mind has a mind of it's own. P.S. I swear I'm not crazy!

There have been a few songs that I have been hesitant to add to SM because I wasn't sure if I had the lyrics right. I've had a track record of hearing some words completely wrong so I don't want to subject people to my mistakes. For that reason I didn't submit a couple of songs by Deb Talan and Laura Veirs when I submitted most of the lyrics for the albums they didn't have lyrics for. I was finally able to figure out a couple of words from one song by each that I had been struggling to finish. In Laura veir's "Blackbird Pie" I was finally able to figure out that she said 'alder side' in one verse so I submitted it. And for Deb Talan's "A Good Day's Work" I wasn't sure if she said 'dust' or 'thus' or whatever but I submitted hoping someone who may understand it better will correct me later. There are still a few songs that I have mostly transcribed but I want to be sure for my own piece of mind before I submit the lyrics. Just 2 left really. "Toe" by Laura Veirs and "Wild Horse" by Deb Talan and i'll be done.

Let me start by saying how great this site is. On the surface it is a perfect place to find those hard-to-find lyrics that you can't get anywhere else. Scratch a bit deeper and it's an plentiful source of ideas, opinions and interpretations. Even more its a good place to discover people with similar taste in music and to see what other artist they like. An amazing site all around. This site along with Last.fm and [url=http://www.alwaysontherun.net]AlwaysontheRun[/url] make up my trifecta of music sites. If I can't find the music and lyrics I want with them it can't be found. So I finally joined up after being a spectator for almost a year. At first I didn't think I'd contribute much but already I've added an artist, Elephant Parade, and contributed 45 lyrics to the site and I've only been registered for 3 days. (It said I registered on the 10th but because of an e-mail snafu and the down time I didn't have access until the 27th.) I even commented on a few songs already. Something I wasn't really planning on doing. I really only registered to submit lyrics. Speaking of submitting lyrics I want to say I'm a newbie at this. So forgive me for any spelling grammatical or verse mistakes. I'm learning as I go along. I've been transcribing a bit for myself for a while. Two main artist I transcribed where Tina Dico and Laura Veirs, because I couldn't find their lyrics anywhere. I finally found Tina Dico's lyrics under her real name Tina Dickow but Laura Veirs' earlier work seem to be too obscure to find lyrics anywhere, so I submitted a few myself. So for the lyrics I submitted I started with Elephant Parade's Riding in Your Car. A beautifully simple song from a very new band. Next was Steve Tannen because he is an awesome artist and I couldn't figure out why he doesn't have more fans on here. It helped that his lyrics are all there on his site. Next I put up a few lyrics by Deb Talan that aren't up for some reason. Actaully the majority of the lyrics for Deb Talan's solo work is mistakely submitted under "The Weepies" which is a band she formed with Steven Tannen. I'm tempted to resubmit them under her name but I guess I should see about having them moved first. Then like I said lyrics from Laura Veirs' earlier work are non-existent so I tried my hand at them and submitted here. I know I got some of it wrong and there are a few songs of hers and Deb Talan's that I haven't submitted because I want to get them right. The songs I submitted for Laura Veirs and Deb Talan are my own transcribes and I take full responsibility for any mistakes. And finally today I found that one of my favorites, Etro Anime, didn't have any lyrics submitted for them. So I submitted them myself. I can't take the credit since all the lyrics for their album "See the Sound" are on Alwaysontherun. So if there are any mistakes I blame that site. hehe

I am a lot of things and nothing all at the same time but mostly I'm not worth loving.
