{Re-Play Thursday} Different People - No Doubt



HAPPY THURSDAY!!


This week's Re-Play Thursday song has to be one of the most well written songs I have yet to come across. It just so happens to be performed by my favorite band in the entire world, No Doubt. It is from their Tragic Kingdom album and in addition to me playing this entire album over and over again since 5th grade, this song is easily a go-to for when I need a pick me up, inspiration or just a feel good song to sing along to. Take a listen, you will not be disappointed!






Things can be broken down

In this world of ours
You don't have to be a famous person
Just to make your mark
A mother can be an inspiration
To her little son
Change his thoughts, his mind, his life
Just with her gentle hum, hum

So different, yet so the same
Two sisters only have their parents to blame
It's rare that two can get along
But when they do, they're inseparable
Such a blessing comes to few, few

The sky is full of clouds and my world's full of people
You got the different kinds, with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
No one's the same

He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
You get a spectacular surprise
'Cause one can teach the other one
What she doesn't know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow

The sky is full of clouds and my world's full of people
You got the different kinds, with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
No one's the same

Once in a while I sit back
And think about the planet
And most of the time I trip on it
To kick back and think about
How massive it all is
Well, how many others are on it, yeah

I often think about the world
In which I live today
Of animals and plants
And nature's gift set on display
But the most amazing thing
That I've seen in my time
Are all the different people
And all their different minds, minds, minds, minds

And different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
No one's exactly the same

So many different people
So many different kinds
So many, many, many different people
So many different
Look at me, I'm a person
Look at me, I'm my own person
So many different people
And so many different kinds
For better or for worse, different people

{Re-Play Thursday} Hello - Martin Solveig and Dragonette



I have to admit, I'm obsessed with this song. I am am also obsessed with the recent wave of indie/poptronic woman singers popping on the charts (Hello Florence and The Machine!) because I am a advocate for strong females in the music industry that do not rely on Pro Tools or their bodies to make/sell music. Dragonette is a Canadian group that is kinda blowing up the scene right now with this song "Hello" and them teaming up with french DJ/Producer Martin Solveig makes me love this song even more!










I could stick around and get along with you
Hello oh-oh-oh-oh
It doesn't really mean that I'm into you
Hello oh-oh-oh-oh

You're alright but I'm here darling to enjoy the party
Don't get too excited cause that's all you'll get from me

Hey

I just came to say hello
Hello

Hello oh oh oh oh!

I'm not the kinda girl who'd get messed up with you
Hello ho-ho-ho-ho
I'ma let you try to convince me too
Hello oh oh oh oh

It's alright I'm getting dizzy just enjoy the party
It's OK with me if you don't have that much to say
Hey

Kinda like this game but there's something you should know
I just came to say
Hello
