Unveiling the Listen to a Song project! First song: The Futureheads - First Day
And how I feel about Tuesday mornings. And Wednesdays. To get the full range of emotion, you must listen to the song...it is not the same just reading the lyrics.
For my American friends who have most likely not heard the Futureheads unless you were watching the OC and didn't realize it *pretentious eyeroll...hee* (Wait, if I want to pretend to be pretentious I can't go hee) Anyway, that is the link to their site. You have two options for listening to the song:
1. Go to the little stream player they've got on the lower right hand corner and skip each track until you get to the one called "First Day." Listen. However, this doesn't play the whole song, so if you love me you'll pick option 2:
2. Go to "Audio and Video" and scroll down until you see the First Day video. Pick for WMP or Real Player. Watch and listen.
Now that you are all ready, the lyrics:
Welcome to your new job, hope you have a wonderful first day
We are so happy to have you join the team, you are so lucky on your first day
And they say
This is the job that people die for, I hope you're ready for the next stage
A lot of people work in the same place, don't let them get in your way
Dinner time you go to the cantine, you make a new friend at the dinner break
You like to talk when you're eating, but today you listen to him
And he says like it or not, you have to do what they say
And it is something that you would like to talk about, but it's only your first day
And they say
This is the job that people die for, I hope you're ready for the next stage
A lot of people work in the same place, don't let them get in your way
And they say faster faster
It's time to take you to the next stage, but it's only your first day
And you're not ready for the next stage
And they say faster faster
It's time to take you to the next stage, and it is something that you would like to talk about
But it's only your first day
(first day), you are so lucky on your first day (first day)
You feel so happy on your first day (first day), you are so lucky on your first day (first day)
This is the job that people die for, I hope you're ready for the next stage
A lot of people work in the same place, don't let them get in your way
Welcome to your new job (first day), hope you have a wonderful first day (first day)
We are so happy to have you join the team (first day), you are so lucky on your first day (first day)
Lucky lucky lucky on your first day (people die for people die for)
Damn it, why did I sign up for internship.
...Alright, last note, hopefully you all enjoyed that little process because I shall be doing this more frequently from now on, guiding my dear dear friends to listen to a (possibly new) song every now and then. I don't pretend to be the ultimate possessor of all music knowledge, I just want to share songs I like. I shall be picking songs that are stuck in my head, or that describe my mood, or that I just frankly think are wonderful--and if you don't agree, well, there's always the next song. There are lots of songs out there.
Anyway, if you want to hear more of the Futureheads, I shall direct you to the BBC's Glastonbury page, where they are streaming their entire set, and it's quite good. Whee!
Good night, then.
ps. *bites nails* Is this idea any good??
