Amy Macdonald - This is the Life

Crank it up! Posted it just as a feel good song because I need it more than most right now. I normally defer the music to my friend @crystalclearmusic2

Release: April 20, 2012

Lyrics:

I never knew you before.

I've been walking around with my eyes on the floor.

But now you're everywhere to me you're every face that I see.

Things ain't moving quick enough for me.

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,

Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.

Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my

Heart but I've gotta slow right down.

Slow it down, down, down, down, down

Wishing, wanting for something more, always better than I had before.

Who knew these dreams would come true?

And I run the red won't stop at night I don't care for traffic lights.

Things ain't moving quick enough for me.

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,

Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.

Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my

Heart but I've gotta slow right down.

Slow it down, down, down, down, down

I guess I've been running round town leaving my tracks, burning out rubber,

Driving too fast but I've gotta slow right down.

Back to the moment the very start, from the very first day you had my

Heart but I've gotta slow right down.

In my "Home Station" playing THIS IS THE LIFE - Amy Macdonald

[hello-delicious-tea]

BabyTea woke up with gas, thrashed around awhile, said “gripe a baby” which I still don’t understand, then made a truly epic fart, said “awesome toot toot,” then “coming out a weenie,” then started wailing. Very upset his dragon pants were dampened.

"This is the life" and "Bring me to life"

"Life's what you make it" is too old for the #FearOfMu21c project, where we're crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Everything already Talk Talked about is in an index post.

This is the life - Amy MacDonald

"I saw Pete Doherty's first gig in Glasgow after he left Libertines. It was a great night - he did a little acoustic thing at the aftershow party too, and we got into that. Then me and my pals went back to someone's house and just sat, passing the guitar round, singing songs. It was a brilliant night. The next morning I wrote 'This Is The Life' about it, cause I realized, this is the life."

Title track to the 2007 debut album, Amy MacDonald arrived as though she'd been around forever. Girl, guitar, and memories of going clubbing till the wee small hours and the fear of missing out. Number 1 in Austria, Belgium, Czechia, and Netherlands; number 28 on blighty, because .uk record buyers preferred the album. Amy's continued to write, and record, and tour.

Bring me to life - Evanescence

A goth-metal band with Christian roots, the public view was mostly of singer Amy Lee. And of her physical attributes, not her vocal abilities: on this single, Amy belts out the lyric, shifting from soprano to alto in a single phrase. There's a rap break in the middle, though a mix was released without the rap. And there's a concept video, featuring Amy in her nightie.

All of this meant the single would get a reception. The reason it stayed four weeks at number one? It's a bit different, and it's a massive lot of good. There's a tune, there's something in the lyric, it's danceable, it's not the chugging dance beat of every other record of this moment. This song's success wasn't divine intervention. And thereby hangs a tale...

Evanescence got their start on the Christian Music scene. They were big beasts, playing songs of faith to the faithful. And then: bang! they slammed that door shut. And it's all the fault of the bigots in the Christian music scene.

You might think the British indie scene is harsh, that the NME would build up its heroes then knock them down, then kick them. Christian Music is like that, but harsher, because the critics pretend to know what The God Organisation is thinking. In reality, the critics fall into the trap of idolatory: they expect human beings to be infallible and perfect. Worse, they'll call flaws in other people before accepting the mote in their own eye.

The Christian Music scene is narrow and often bigoted. It's a place where divorce ends careers, where anything that might stop white women from producing white babies is terrible. It's a place where the haters revel in their hatred, where the performers are not permitted to sin. It's cloying and confining. Frankly, Evanescence were best out of it.

None of this changed the parent album: Fallen explored faith and its absence. However much the band denied it, this was a religious album, drawing from Amy Lee and Ben Moody's upbringing. The band turned their back on Christan Music, but didn't repudiate their upbringing. The lyrics draw from Christian imagery, and a particular view of the world. Questions about the afterlife, a search for salvation, fretting that everything is meaningless. They may not be a Christian Music band, but their music is Christian.

Recently released: the 2002 demo version, which is similar to - but not the same as - the version we all heard the following summer.

Amy Macdonald - This Is The Life (2008)

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: December 10, 2007

Lyrics:

Oh, the wind whistles down

The cold dark street tonight

And the people, they were dancing

To the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls with curls in their hair

While the shy tormented youth sit way over there

And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four

And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door

But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til 4

So you're sitting there with nothing to do

Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew

And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?
