Ian On The Red Dot

From The Smiths:

If youre wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why

You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now …

If youre wondering why
When all I wanted from life was to be famous
I have tried for so long, its all gone wrong
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
But you wouldnt believe me

You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now …
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why

Today I am remembering the time
When they pulled me back
And held me down
And looked me in the eyes and said
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, my son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer
You just havent earned it yet baby
And Im telling you now …

You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh …
You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh …
Oh

Boys and girls, be careful of the friends you make. Sometimes their coolness and awesomeness is so off the charts that they will introduce you things that totally suck you in and make you wonder how you ever worked at your desk without it.

Introducing my two DJs for today:

TheSkinnyFists @ muxtape
litford @ muxtape

muxtape is just so awesome when you find people with great taste in music. Don’t like what those DJs choose for the radio, well, now you have an alternative when sitting at your desk.

thanks litford - my ears are now yours.

First heard this song ‘New Soul’ by Yael Naim via Hypem and I totally loved it. So did a Google search on the singer and learned that this was the song used in a Macbook Air commercial.

I couldn’t describe why I loved this song until I found someone online describing it as:

light, ethereal, infectious and personal.

The music video for the song:

The lyrics:

I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

See I’m a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

This is a happy end
Cause you don’t understand
Everything you have done
Why’s everything so wrong

This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I’ll take you far away

I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

New soul… (la, la, la, la,…)
In this very strange world…
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes…
