Rock and Roll Suicide

you take a cigarette, put it in your mouth, and feel your fingers risking another cigarette. you don't eat, don't hunger, this is true. oh oh oh you're a rock and roll suicide.

you're old but alive, and too young to die. and how long are you running in the city, the flame burning with nostalgia. oh oh oh you're a rock and roll suicide.

are you afraid of the advancing signs? don't you realize the sun is rising? while you hide in your home, you will not see that what matters is you're not alone.

h no! you're not alone! i won't leave you, even if you wanted me to. look at me, the sun will set, and another time i'll be near you. oh my love, you're not alone. i am here to protect you. let's live our lives for our own good. only us two, no one else matters.

oh my love, the heart is a departing train! the train of the heart is already leaving!! wooOOooOOoo wonderful, give me your hands!!!

Recently, I've had the pleasure of witnessing what may be the awesomest car commercial ever. I don't even care what brand of car it is - this cover of Space Oddity by Cat Powers is amazing!

and while searching for the rest of the song (unsuccessfully), I found this:
kierstenmh's cover of Space Oddity

I like the chords she uses.  And her eyes are kinda creepy too.

In the Cat Power version, I like the breathy vocals and the drum fill into the 2nd part of the song. . . and the sound effects in the commercial haha!  It just makes it an awesome commercial.

And now, I think I'll try to find more Cat Power songs because according to Wikipedia, she's been around since 1995.  I like her style.

Aaaaand here's the original by David Bowie.  Kinda weird, but it's the original.

and here's the other Bowie version I'm more familiar with:

and finally, the Mr. Deeds version!!!!111!1!eleven!!!!111!!

I'm pretty sure all these embedded videos slow down the page loading, sorry.
