I Miss Singing

Now, I have heard this song a few times on the radio and haven't really given it much thought.  For some reason, however, on my way home last night, I turned it up and really dug it!

It made me miss singing.

You can think that is lame and be all, "Katie, you sing all the freakin' time...yada...yada..." but that isn't exactly what I mean.  If you know me from back in the dizzle (yes...the dizzle...), you know that singing was a HUGE part of my middle and high school careers (along with drumline...but that is a whole different story...).  It was a huge part of why my best friend is my best friend.  Kim and I pretty much did our entire singing career together.

And where did it all start?

Sixth grade at the Forest Lake Elementary Arts and Academics Fair singing this song.

Yeah...we did that...and we rocked it!

ANYWAY...this song stuck with me for whatever reason and has put the bug back in me...I want to sing again...in a group...be great again...

It is what it is, so don't judge me!

XOXO

PS...music starts around 1:02-ish...

Some Nights by Fun

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck

Some nights, I call it a draw

Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle

Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know anymore...

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?

Why don't we break the rules already?

I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white

I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight

She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am

Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...

Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end

Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again

Some nights, I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Washed my hands of that for this?

I miss my mom and dad for this?

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are

When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on

Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

Well, this is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again

Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands

This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go

Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"

But when I look into my nephew's eyes...

Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...

Some terrible lies...ahhh...

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me

I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

It's for the best you didn't listen

It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
