I'm not gonna write you a love song, do you need one?

Lately I am addicted to a new song, makes you feel chirpy again haha
So here it is

For some crazy reason the option 'hyperlink' does not work lately, so I'm just giving it to you like this, sorry!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR5xv3pt7KI




















Head underwater
And you tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me, it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin',
I gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin',
Imma need a better reason
To write you a love song today

Promise me, you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say

I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay

If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today


For the record, I don't write love songs in general
You have to be really really special for that, so let's just listen to the one sara made for us!

Binneeeeeen!

This message is in Dutch for a big part, because it's about a song from Marco Borsato and I think you can already guess which one!

Why am I blogging about this song?
Take a moment to think about this question... still no clue?

Because you have millions of options to make a parody of it!
To be honest... I already made several with friends

To begin with, the original lyrics:


Je bent binnen
binnen in mijn hart
binnen in mijn ziel
Van binnen
binnen sinds de dag dat ik voor jou viel
binnen
binnen in de droom die ik met je wil beginnen
je bent binnen
binnen....

The first parody I know was created during the introduction week, we had to do a game where you have to walk around the city and find out clues before you can proceed. Because we had a party at the evening some of our group had to go to the ATM machine, and now you can already guess which word kickt 'binnen' out of the song..


Je bent pinnen
pinnen bij de bank
pinnen uit de muur
ja pinnen
pinnen sinds de dag dat... (I don't know the last part anymore unfortunately)

When I was partying with some friends from work, we also managed to get our big boss in the song. To explain shortly, we work at the supermarket called "Dirk vd Broek" and of course the big boss' name is:

Dirk!
Dirk in mijn hart
Dirk in mijn ziel
ja Dirk
Dirk sinds dat dag dat ik hier werk
oooh Dirk
Dirk in de droom die wij hier gaan beginnen,
bij de Dirk
jaaa... Dirk

While I was discussing this song with my sisters I found out there are more options I did not think of, well for some that's a good thing.

When you are in a competition with your sports team or whatever team you can of course use:
Winnen!

A certain guy who was crazy about the female body used the word 'billen', really creative..

Any more ideas guys?

It could be dangerous living in this valley!

It's been a while, but Noes is back!

What happened in the time in between?
- Busy, busy, busy with school. But if everything goes according to scedule that period will be over soon:)
- I created a huge addiction (yes, even more) to the band Paramore, I will see them again the 17th of June!
- I've been to the concert of Tegan and Sara
- The whole trip to America is planned
- The trip to London too
I know it's a bad excuse but I am really blaming school on not blogging ;)

Still a few weeks of school to go, but on the 16th of May this Noes will fly away to the USA!
We will stay on the campus of the NAU in Flaggstaff, Arizona to do a project. In the weekend we will visit Las Vegas which is awesome of course, but the thing is I am not 21. So I can not even gamble! But I'll just try to sneak in somewhere, cannot miss a chance like that.
When the rest of our group of school is going home again I will go to San Diego, Tijuana and Los Angeles with a few friends.
Because I have to do one stupid re-exam I have to go home earlier than hoped, so I will fly back on the 15th of June.

But actually this re-exam kinda saved me, because just a week or so ago I found out Paramore is coming back to Holland, but this is already on the 17th of June!
I still managed to get some tickets for myself and two of my friends but getting them meant waking up way to early on your saturday off, and that's really special when you work in the supermarket.
But after stressing out a bit and calling the computer some names, I got tickets!
At that moment the words chirpy and even hyperactive were on their place. Me, my jetlag and friends will be there!


If you do not know them yet, shame on you!

or just watch on of the videos to find out what you think:

Talking about music now, I've also been to the concert of Tegan and Sara on the 20th of March! I did not know them very well actually but one of my friends really wanted to see them so I went with her. They're live performance is great and they even played the song I know!
* I just want back in your head, lala lala lala lala*
The support band was Nothern state, three girls appearing to be calm with their keyboard and guitar but actually being female mc's with catchy rhymes.
The song "Iluvitwhenya" was even featured on greys anatomy!
I love their song "Sucka mofo"
You can listen to it on their myspace, just google them and you'll find it.

I have more new music, yes new for me, where I also got the name of this message out of but I'll keep that for next time because I don't know them that well yet.


Well after the USA and Paramore I have to do that re-exam, arrange the last Graduation Event because that's my TEF project on school and then I'm already going to London!
Yes, that's expensive to do all at once but after that I have the rest of the summer holiday to relax and work a little bit to save some money again:)

I think it's time again for me to do some studying!
