| Mariah Carey – Bye Bye Lyrics | 17 years ago |

i think someone told her exactly what is going on in my life right now, this song is eerily similar to what's happening to me. my grandma died this christmas day and my favorite uncle 2 wks later. "you never got the chance to see how good I’ve done... you never got to see me back at number one" i've done horribly my past 3 yrs of college and she always told me she knew i could do it even till the end this semester i got a 4.0 and she never got to see it. every single line in this song pertains to me, it's so weird and it came along at the perfect time. i didn't really care for mariah carey that much until this song and the timing is perfect. i'm sure everone can relate to this song or will at some point in their life. "I wish that you were here to celebrate together I wish that we could spend the holidays together". i can't even talk about this song without tearing up. it is AMAZING. and her voice is so pretty it makes it so much better. "I thought you were so strong That you can make it through whatever It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever" ugh. every single line in this song even by itself is so meaningful. this is my new favorite song. I play it to everyone I know that hasn't heard it. *sigh* |

| Yellowcard – Two Weeks From Twenty Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
afghanistan itself didn't set up 9/11, terrorists based in the country did; the ruler of afghanistan didn't wage a war against the united states. bush was given the information that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. he was given the information and being commander and chief of an entire nation whose security and well-being is in his hands, he had to do something. i don't understand how so many people can speak so poorly of our president. granted, it is their right to do so, but what did they expect the man to do? just ignore it? explain to everyone that "o well, it was reported that there are weapons of mass destruction, but there is a chance that it might not be true, so we're not going to do anything but sit here and wait to find out"... no. he did what any other good president would do in the situation. he gave them a chance... he looked for them. and i'm not so sure that "wmd's" weren't there-- if terrorists are harboring in iraq, then there are weapons of mass destrucion there. as bush once stated, "on 9/11, terrorists showed us that a box cutter can be used as a weapon of mass destruction." even if no terrorists are based in iraq, you cannot rightly say that the war is unjustified. some people think that since it's not our country it's not our obligation to fix it. it may not be our obligation, but it isn't such a horrible thing to do. since it's not my life, would it be wrong of me to help a stranger in need? would it be okay if i was given information that a family down the street was being murdered and i chose not to help? probably not. because we know that innocent people were being killed in iraq by a dictator, i think we, as a country who has the resources and will to do something, should be inclined to do so. we are helping those people to an unimagineable extent. imagine what it would be like in the US without the right to vote, or to speak what you believe, or even to walk outside your own home without a gun in your hand. if we didn't have the power to help ourselves, it would be unfair for no one to help us. we might even expect it. just because these people have different beliefs than some of us doesn't make them less human. it's only right for someone to help them, and since no one else in the world would, we stepped in. everyone has the right to speak what they will about whatever they want, but i hope that people will think of it from the other side. as for yellowcard, the real reason this page is here, i like their music, but i don't like their ideas. just because they have an anti-war song doesn't demean the brilliance of their other songs, but it does make them lose at least one sale for their next album. i won't buy another yellowcard cd because i don't want to give them my help in contributing for another song such as two weeks from twenty. the sound of the song is nice, it's different from what i'm used to hearing from them. i love that they try to personalize 'jimmy' so that listeners can get a glimpse of the greif a family feels when they lose a loved one to a cause that they don't believe in. yellowcard should have been aware though, that it sounds as if they don't respect the soldiers who are giving their lives to make this not only a safer country, but a safer world for everyone. |
