Enough @ MindSay

We don't want them,
We want everything
And we told them
To want everything

We don't want them,
We want everything
We’ve stolen in this suffering
And we told them
To want everything
But use caution
In what you believe
And the haunted,
Deny everything
Controlling,
In this suffering
When they’re broken,
And lost everything
They're so much easier to lead

Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside

When you’re own have died
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?

[Without warning,
We take everything]
Without warning,
We take everything
Undaunted in this suffering
The dark forces
Surround everything
Make it impossible to see

Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside

When you’re own have died
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?

HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED!
HAVEN'T WE SUFFERED ENOUGH!
HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED!
THE DAMAGE MORE THAN,
I CAN BARE!
HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED!
HAVEN'T WE SUFFERED ENOUGH!
HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED!
THE DAMAGE MORE THAN,
I CAN BARE!
Did they even have the reason why?
Countless sons and daughters had to die
Can you even comprehend the pain
Tell me when your

Own have died
When there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
Is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?
When you’re own have died
[Own have died]
When there's no more pride
[No more pride]
When your soul is frozen
Is that enough?
[Is that enough?]
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?

The Raconteurs' album Consolers Of The Lonely - Can I just tell you, I have never heard an album like this before. This isn't just your average sit down and listen to it sort of album; this isn't a background music album. This is an album that the entire time that I'm listening to it, I want to be there with them, and I can't sit still because of it. My butt keeps wiggling in the seat because they pull you in with little things like on the opening track, "Consoler Of The Lonely" you hear the sounds of a small crowd, and even one of them speaking into the microphone "we'll want to double-track that" just makes these guys more human and all the more lovable for it. Then as the music continues, they pick up the pace and you become even more enthralled with the song. Definitely one of the shining tracks on this album in my opinion. The White Stripe's Jack White puts himself farther out there than ever before, and I can't help it, I'm beyond impressed. I never thought reverb and the fuzzed sounds that my own practice amp makes could sound so good. But then again, what can you expect from the group of friends (I'd say supergroup, but they really don't like that) that's obsessed with all things vintage? And songs like "Old Enough" bring you back to those good old days, with a wonderful string counterpart that's the perfect accent to Mr. White's amazingly unique voice. A sort of toe-tapping, head-bobbing song that makes you smile and think of the sunniest days of the year, playing in backyards and wrestling in the grass. A definite Beatles-esque feel is present through the entire album. But the song that really completes the album, that brings the vintage feel full circle, is the last track "Carolina Drama". To begin with, you won't find another song like this on any other album in this decade. They don't make music like this anymore; songs that truly tell stories and sound wonderful and even a little bit grungy as well. With that wistful chorus of women you start to feel like you're really there with Billy, watching this travesty occur. As the song climaxes (you read it right--how many other songs have you heard that climax?) I always feel my own fists begin to shake; the emotions are so perfectly portrayed in this, combining the music and the vocals into something indescribable. If you do nothing else, look this song up. It's one of the best of our time.

All in all, this album is incredible. It has it's ups and downs just like any other; some tracks that really shine and some that let the others shine. Regardless, it's one of the best releases we've had this year and I can't push you enough into picking it up.

 

 

ay its official- dayenu  is back with her (my)  favorite movies- generally available via netflix but I dont get a cut. damn it. my taste is really odd- only my husband and caluna share it- but give it a try. It's gonna be old movies with a few newer one peppered in but not the bruce willis action movie thing.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

 

i can't know the hell you love
but i know you've had enough
some baptize in water
some in flames
oh in flames
oh flames
don't you give me a reason to mourn
oh, don't you give me a reason to mourn
look into my eyes with all your hate and scorn
oh, don't you give me a reason to mourn
what has life done to you
all you ever wanted was someone to run to you
there's more to life than what makes you cry
what makes you cry
i won't say goodbye
don't you give me a reason to mourn
oh, don't you give me a reason to mourn
i'll remove the crown of sorrow which you have been adorned
but don't you give me a reason to mourn
don't you give me a reason to mourn
look into my eyes with all your hate and scorn
but don't you give me a reason to mourn
oh, don't you give me a reason to mourn

 

This is my favorit song  right now.  The very first line that states "I can't know the hell you love"..  To some people sometimes it does look like we love "hell"  we keep taking and giving in to things that make our lives hard to work with .

From someone on the outside look in some people may think that people love the drama but if people just realized sometimes we just can't let go even though it is hell
