If you ask me, the best hip hop songs are love songs. (And probably vice versa, but I haven't really thought that one through.)
These lyrics are probably the most heartbreaking part of the song, for me, a girl with absolutely no luck with guys. But I still love this song to death... 50% of the reason is because I'm a masochist, 50% to keep myself in check, and 50% the sample makes me melt. =]Sometimes I think I'm from another world
When I'm trynna tell a woman just exactly where I stand that
I want a girl when I want a girl
And when I don't want a girl, I want a girl who understands that
And that's some hard shit to explain
To a woman that's in love with you, it's a pitiful thing
P.S. Little Brother blog.
P.P.S. Best Little Brother blog post ever, via ohnotheydidnt, yeah I read celeb gossip SO WHAT. =S
So the other night my brother comes over and we are having our usual discussion about new music we've discovered. We start talking about The Dears' new album ("alright", according to him -- I haven't heard it yet, I'm still torrenting =S). Then he asks me if I've seen the video for "22: The Death of All Romance", which is from their first album, and I had not, so I proceeded to Youtube it. I IMMEDIATELY REGRETTED THE DECISION, much like when Ron Burgandy regretted jumping into a pit with ravenous bears. It is, hands down, the saddest video I have ever seen in my life.
So here it is. I gave you fair warning.
Oh, and to offset it, in case you feel like slitting your wrists much like I did, I posted a relatively happy video for a relatively happy song that I am currently enjoying. =)
Video: Show us a clip from your current favorite TV show
I wouldn't say Scrubs is my favorite TV show but it's pretty much the only half-hour show that'll make me laugh guaranteed. And well, Zach Braff is cute and all but Turk..
