Hold me like Holy Water cuz Just Tonight it's not okay.

Hello people of the interwebs! Today my song is going to be Just Tonight by The Pretty Reckless. The song is about a girl who is stuck in an abusive relationship and it's a vicious cycle but she's too numb at this point to feel the pain. So Just tonight, she will stay and pretend that everything's happy and okay even though it's not. Maybe a part of her still loves him and she's clinging to that part for tonight. But songs like this are often sung by fans who do not really understand what the song is truly about. Another wonderful song covering the same topic is Holy Water by Big & Rich. That one is also about a girl whose been abused. And whoever abused her took her innocence, took the person who she was before. She probably wants to be that person again. She probably wants someone to hold her and take it slow and be gentle with her and treat her like she really matters. It's not fair and I'm glad to be one of the good people of the world who is shedding light in this issue and thanks so much to these artists for taking it upon themselves to write these amazing songs. It's a touchy topic but it deserves recognition! Those of you who like sort of heavy controversial posts such as this one can tell me in the comments about other issues you guys might want me to cover. Thanks for reading... If anyone's still reading :(

Just Tonight

Here we are and I can't think from all the pills, hey

Start the car and take me home

Here we are and you're too drunk to hear a word I say

Start the car and take me home

Just tonight I will stay

And we'll throw it all away

When the light hits your eyes

It's telling me I'm right

And if I, I am through

Then it's all because of you

Just tonight

Here I am and I can't seem to see straight

But I'm too numb to feel right now

And here I am watching the clock that's ticking away my time

I'm too numb to feel right now

Just tonight I will stay

And we'll throw it all away

When the light hits your eyes

It's telling me I'm right

And if I, I am through

Then it's all because of you

Just tonight

Just tonight

Do you understand who I am?

Do you wanna know?

Can you really see through me now?

I'm about to go

But just tonight I won't leave

And I'll lie and you'll believe

Just tonight I will see

It's all because of me

Just tonight I will stay

And we'll throw it all away

When the light hits your eyes

It's telling me I'm right

And if I, I am through

Then it's all because of you

Just tonight

(Do you understand who I am?)

It's all because of you

Just tonight

(Do you understand who I am?)

It's all because of you

Just tonight

(Do you understand who I am?)

It's all because of you

Just tonight

(Do you understand who I am?)

It's all because of you

Just tonight

Holy water

Somewhere there's a stolen halo

I use to watch her wear it well

Everything would shine wherever she would go

But looking at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence

A memory she can't get out of her head

I can only imagine what she's feeling

When she's praying

Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away

then take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel

Someone to put the light back in her eyes

She's looking through the faces

And unfamiliar places

She needs someone to hear her when she cries

And she says take me away

then take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

Holy water

She just needs a little help

To wash away the pain she's felt

She wants to feel the healing hands

Of someone who understands

And she says take me away

then take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me

And she says take me away

then take me farther

Surround me now

And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

Holy water

I'm Back!!

Hey guys! I know it has been so long and I've been so busy and I just got back from vacation and yea. I haven't even thought about this post and I'm legit just winging this but whatever... So today's song is going to be International Harvester by Craig Morgan because we keep getting stuck behind tractors! My bestie and my family and I have been in North Carolina at the Outer Banks and it was a ton of fun. I'm kind of telling you about my life and not my song choice right now but it's okay. I'm definitely going to try to post more so I'm sorry if you guys miss me and my life. So anyhow, we had a lot of fun at the beach although the water was really cold it was still so much fun. But at least two or three times in the few weeks before we went to the beach we ended up stuck behind tractors and my mom would get kind of mad and it just made me think of this song! It's a good song not only music-wise but also it's just the perfect thing to describe a small farm town. It's a great country song and those of you who don't like the country and pop stuff I've mostly been putting on here I'm going to try to do some more rock and Celtic and classical and all this stuff you know because I love all of it and I just haven't really been putting that many different types of music on here so I will try! And I know this was a really super duper uber long post because I'm just going on and on and on but whatever most of my posts aren't like this so yea! Please send the link to this blog to all of your friends and family if you like it and tell them to do the same!!! 

"International Harvester"

I'm the son of a third generation farmer

I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter

I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver

Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower

Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour 

On my International Harvester.

3 miles of cars laying on their horns

Falling on deaf ears of corn

Lined up behind me like a big parade

Late to work, road raged jerks

Shouting obscene words flippin me the bird

Well you maybe be on a state paved road

But that blacktop runs through my pay load

Excuse me for trying to do my job

But this year ain't been no bumper crop

If you don't like the way I'm a driving

Get back on the interstate

Otherwise sit tight and be nice

And quit your honking at me that way

Cause I'm the son of a 3rd generation farmer

I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter

I got 2 boys in the county 4-H

I'm a lifetime sponsor of the FFA

Hey that's what I make 

I make a lot of Hay for a little pay

and I'm proud to say

I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver

Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower

Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour 

On my International Harvester.

Well I know you got your own deadline

But cussing me won't save you no time Hoss

But this big wheel wide load ain't going any faster

So just smile and wave and tip your hat to the man up on the tractor

Cause I'm the son of a 3rd generation farmer

I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter

I got 2 boys in the county 4-H

I'm a lifetime sponsor of the FFA

Hey that's what I make 

I make a lot of Hay for a little pay

and I'm proud to say

I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver

Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower

Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour

Love u guys! 

Everyone Needs An Umbrella

OMG ITS BEEN FOREVER!! Sorry guys! I went to Tennessee and then Philidelphia and now since I've been back I'm running all over the place to petsit and golly goodness gracious it's been busy! Anywho, today's song is Umbrella by Rihanna because it's just the sweetest song ever! It is pure poetry! Go Ri!!! What Ri is saying in the song is that even when stuff gets bad they'll always have their love. Rain is there to represent you know bad stuff and their love is the umbrella that shelters them. This is a very catchy and beautiful song though it honestly can get kind of annoying depending on what kind of music you like. And this song doesn't just have to represent romantic love either! No matter whether it's your friends, your true love, or your family, love and the people we love shelter us from the bad things in life. 

Xox, Av

You have my heart

And we'll never be worlds apart

Maybe in magazines

But you'll still be my star

Baby 'cause in the dark

You can't see shiny cars

And that's when you need me there

With you I'll always share

Because

[Chorus]

When the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I'd be here forever

Said I'll always be a friend

Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

These fancy things, will never come in between

You're part of my entity, here for infinity

When the war has took its part

When the world has dealt its cards

If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart

Because

[Chorus]

When the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I'd be here forever

Said I'll always be a friend

Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms

It's OK, don't be alarmed

Come here to me

There's no distance in between our love

So go on and let the rain pour

I'll be all you need and more

Because

[Chorus]

When the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I'll be here forever

Said I'll always be a friend

Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

It's raining, raining

Oh, baby it's raining, raining

Baby come here to me

Come here to me

It's raining, raining

Oh baby it's raining, raining

You can always come here to me

Come here to me
