Song of the day #sotd
Artist: Killing time
Song: My Reason
Album: Brightside
Lyrics:
thought i was on top of the heap till it all came tumbling down on me. dreams turned to nightmares hopes faded to memories. I had hope. i saw a future. from where i stood things looked great. you saw it different, never gave a reason, that’s why i’m so filled with hate. the times that we shared were great. memories i’ll always save. the future looked so bright, until you turned out the light i’ve got a reason for my anger and that reason is you. i hope that some day you get a chance to feel the same way that i do.
Artist: Mike Judge & Old Smoke

he was drinking alcohol again with friends
they wanted to be happy all the time
the dream is yours and mnine
but someone said that alcohol’s no good
no good for mind and soul
or body when you lose control
I think I want to light something on fire
I’m going to light something on fire
I’m going to light something on fire
what am I afraid of?
waht are you afraid of?
what are we afraid of?

Youth Of Today - Can’t Close My Eyes - Album - Can’t Close My Eyes.
Check out Back issues of thrasher magazine here
Lyrics
When I see violence on the street
when I see a friend getting beat
when I see youth so unaware
can’t close my eyes pretend I don’t care
Can’t close my eyes
when I see an unfair fight
something tells me it’s not right
can’t let these problems go unsolved
won’t close my eyes, I’ll get involved
YOUTH OF TODAY - CAN’T CLOSE MY EYES LYRICS
Check out an early interview of the band YOUTH OF TODAY. From the November 1987 issue of thrasher magazine.
Youth of Today, interview, with Ray Cappo, Porcell, Richie….. From thrasher mag.
We all have had people in our lives that only tag along when things are going well, where were they when things were going bad. True friends stick with you through the good and bad. This song is dedicated to all the fair weathered friends.
Bold - Album - Looking Back - Song - You’re the Friend I Don’t Need
#straightedge
Lyrics
Try to pretend the you don’t
see, look away as you walk on
by me. I tried to laugh at your
little game; just yesterday, you
were calling my name.
You called me up yesterday,
but that was when things were
going my way.
Now that’s changed,
I’m no longer cool to know.
Is that why, when I passed you
by, no reaction did you show?
You’re the friend I don’t need,
only around when my world is
all right. Fair weather friend,
you I don’t need
My life goes awry, and you’re
nowhere in sight.
Call me up on the phone when
you hear good things of me;
fair weather friend,
fair weather friend,
for you it’s so easy.
Realize I need you most when
my luck turns around,
that is when, that is when,
you’re nowhere to be found
You’re the friend I don’t need,
only around when my world is
all right. Fair weather friend
you I don’t need.
My life goes awry,
and you’re nowhere in sight.
Try to pretend that you don’t
see, look away as you walk on
by me. I tried to laugh at your
little game, fair weather friend,
now I know your name.

“
I’d like to stress the importance of independence to the youth today. They can survive without kissing ass. There’s a lot of ass kissing going on an I honestly think that the music industry of America is full of shit and I think that a lot of the producers are going to be surprised as a lot of the youths are getting their scene together and are going to make music that will wipe a lot of their shit off the charts. I’m working hard for that day.
