A Few Notes
Isa na naman sa mga kanta na ni-recommend sa akin ng bokalista ng aming banda. Minsan din namin itong ni-rehearse para tugtugin sa isang gig na hindi kami nagpunta dahil kulang kami.
Ang music video ng kantang ito ay nagkaroon din ng heavy rotation sa MTV noong early 2000’s noong nag-boom ang emo.
Ang kantang ito ay tungkol sa communication breakdowns, emotional frustration, at strained relationships. Sumasalamin sa lyrics nito ang isang taong walang kakayahan i-fully express ang kanyang thoughts at emotions. Ayon sa frontman na si Jessey Lacey, “The song’s a little bit about regret. How there can be problems in a relationship and they get ignored. And how that often ends up as a broken home or some kind of bad situation down the road. It’s kind of something that if it wasn’t overlooked in the first place, you can kind of get through it.“
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lover’s tryst
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired
Today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired
Today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it’s you I can do without
There’s nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired
Today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired
Today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I lie for only you
And I lie well…
Hallelu…
I lie for only you
And I lie well…
Hallelu…
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today’s the day it gets tired
Today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today’s the day it gets tired
Today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

My neighbors listen to great music… whether they want to or not.
This project is a lot like a toddler: it’s messy, it keeps me up at night, and I’m constantly apologizing for its behavior in public.
My favorite way to help is by providing moral support from a safe, comfortable distance.
