We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs…

coffee Bonjour mes amis. So here is five songs for you. Some oldies and some newies. Get a cup of coffee, some choccie biscuits and enjoy!

Phantom Planet - Always On My Mind (AMV)
if i could blink
if i could breathe
if i could get my legs to move
well this could be the day i get this girl to love me

Most famous for their theme tune to the OC the pop rock band from Southern California’s other stuff is actually much better in my opinion and this song is not a cover of an Elvis song. No video for it, though.

Gavin DeGraw - Follow Through (Video)
The words you say to me are unlike anything that’s ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything that’s ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You’re so hypnotic on my heart

It’s sappy and happy, but I like it. It even has a happy ending at the end of the video. But why does he always wear the awful hats in his videos, eh?

Vertical Horizon - Everything you want (Video)
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don’t know why

These guys are the masters at acoustic rock and here is, probably, their best known track played with one man and a guitar. Oh, how I wish I could make something that amazing with just my voice and an instrument

Barenaked Ladies - Old Apartment (Video)
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

As you’ll know, one of my favourite bands and one of my favourite songs. Can’t believe I’ve not put it in before now. This is a good live recording too. Oh, how I wish I could of seen them live.

Bowling for Soup - When We Die (Video - Acoustic)
Come over come over ’cause I gotta know
if I am doing this all on my own
come over come over how can I tell you if you’re not here?
and I know that we’re gonna be fine

So, it’s another bad parent song. It’s good and their latest single, I believe.

You may of guessed that I can’t be bothered to write lots today, so just, er, be glad that you got it on the right day
