"Use Somebody" Cover By Jon Newell

So I had to share this...

It is from a daytime local chat show called Take Five and today they featured a local musician performing a cover of "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon and I just thought it was fantastic. Jon Newell is the bee's knees. Covers can be so tricky to begin with and for me personally I love this song so I definitely approached it at first with my eyebrow arched but Jon Newell really knocked it out of the park. I love his voice and I even backed it up to listen again. Enjoy <3

Love This Song

Long time, no rant :)

I have been very busy but this song just came up on my ipod and I thought you might want to hear it with me.

My Very First Memory.

My First Memory

The reason why I am even blogging about this to begin with is because I have posted lyrics and poetry on my blog more than a few times  already and I am always dancing on whether to post these particular lyrics…the song is “Yesterday” by the Beatles.  The basis for my apprehension is because this song is attached to my first memory ever, hence I feel like I owe it some sort of fancy disclaimer but I don’t have anything profound to say.  It is very simple, hearing this song really is my first memory and even when I try, I can’t remember anything before this.  I remember being in the living room of a house, the one I grew up in, one that I am pretty sure doesn’t exist anymore and I was with my dad and we listened to this song on one of his old records and we were quiet after it was over and I asked him “Why is he so sad?”.  I can remember my heart just breaking for the man singing this song and wanting to understand it.  Now over 20 years later, I know that the man is Paul McCartney and that there probably isn’t anything on earth that I could do to make him feel better.  But it is still the first thing I remember of my entire life and I love the connection it gives me to other people who have been changed by the music of the Beatles.  It isn’t just my first memory, it is something I have attached myself to ever since and I’m not the same person anymore.  So with all that said…here are some lyrics. 

“Yesterday”

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

-McCartney-Lennon

(I don’t want to hear it, McCartney-Lennon for this one)

Butterfly

"Butterfly"

Yesterday I went outside with my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today, looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away, no more sighing in her breast
I'm sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away

Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy, life of chasing butterfly
I'm sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want it slips away
The ghost slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry

-Weezer (and NOW I'm sorry)

"man on the side"

six numbers, one more to dial
before I'm before you
I tried to call
been busy all night
gave up waiting at daylight

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in when you can
though we both know that the worst part about it
is I would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me

ohhhhh...
I am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
life as the man on the side

one of the many
one of the few
to stand back and wait for you

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in when you can
though we both know that the worst part about it
is I would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me, if you wanted me

ohhhh...
I am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man on the side
Life as the man on the side

I fell in love with the dream that I built of you
playing the part of the queen
taking my own advice
I'm giving up tonight
good luck to you and the king

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in
though we both know that the worst part about it
is I would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me, if you wanted me

ohhhhh....
I am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
life as the man
you know life as the man
living life as the man on the side
