welcome home

local band plays red rocks. this is rise against.(not at all similar to rage against the machine). they have a sound that appeals to my ear and my heart gets touched in all this somehow. great lyrics. i love listening to them. they are playing red rocks in morrison. that venue is kinda the carnegie hall of the rocky mountains. without a doubt, it has to be a really big deal to come back to your home town and play the rocks. and from where i sit they deserve it. i really could use a date for the show, btw.

RISE AGAINST LYRICS

"Ready To Fall"

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
But I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said, "just go on to what you
Pretend is your life but
Please don't die on me"

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I count the times that I've been sorry
I know, I know
Now my compassion slowly drowns
I know, I know
If there's a time these walls could guard you
I know, I know
Then let that time be right now

Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

i am offering some of their music here(again)today. there are 5 songs- that's right- but don't feel obligated to listen to them all.
only 1, 2, 4, 5 are really on my list of faves. "swing life away" is the first song by them that i remember hearing and feeling connected with. today these are aol sessions (live) and so they are more or less acoustic. you can hear a couple of released recordings in the finetune playlist (happy road to destiny) in the sidebar, along with a lot of other music i really like. or of course you can check out youtube or whatever.
