In exile…

Thrice just recently came out with a new album…it is great… In my opinion they have some of the best “worship” songs out there. The song “In Exile” is my favorite of the album. It talks about this world not being our home. . Here are the lyrics for it as well….its pretty awesome…I highly suggest everybody check them out.

I am in exile, a sojourner
A citizen of some other place
All I’ve seen is just a glimmer in a shadowy mirror
But I know, one day well see face to face

I am a nomad, a wanderer
I have nowhere to lay my head down
There’s no point in putting roots too deep when I’m moving on
Not settling for this unsettling town

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never
Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

I am a pilgrim, a voyager
I wont rest until my lips touch the shore
Of the land that I’ve been longing for as long as I’ve lived
Where they’ll be no penalties anymore

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never
Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

Top 10 of 2008

Alright, well what sucks is i did this once already and it took me forever, so now its just going to be a quick 1-10 without any breakdowns and amazing insite….i know your totally bummed now. Here goes, top ten albums of 2008. P.S. all of this is based on my opinion so its pretty much solid gold fact.

1. Thrice-”The Alchemy Index III & IV”
Amazing!
 

2. City and Colour-”Bring Me Your Love”
Dallas Greens vocals and lyrics are so good

3. TV on The Radio- “Dear Science”
Innovative and Fun

4. The Raconteurs-”Consolers of the Lonley”
Jack White is great, every song it good. My fav. is the last song “Carolina Drama”.

5. Foxy Shazam-”Introducing Foxy”
Fun, plus they have a song about, The Rocketeer, how can it not be good.

6. Underoath-”Lost in The Sounds of Separation”
Classic Underoath, plus produced by Adam. D equals quality album

7. Potugal. The Man-”Censored Colors”
I like a lot, you can just chill and listen the whole way through.

8. Kanye West- “808’s and Heartbreak”
What can you say the man is a musical genius. My only complaint is that he uses the voice changer too much. But most the time you don’t even remember because the beats are so good.

9. Trenches-”The Tide Will Swallow”
Featuring Jimmy Ryan, fomerly of Haste The Day, so you know its good. (playing off Anchorman, “made with real bits of Cougar, so you know its good”)

10. Russian Circles-”Station”
All instumental, has to be good to keep your attention without any vocals.

Honorable Mention: The Killers-”Day and Age”
When I listen to this I feel like I could be wearing an all whit……e (dodgeball) suit with the sleeves on my sport coat rolled up and a v-neck under it and a cigarette in my right ear, hanging out with Hall and Oates and nothing would feel out of place. ….Ok I got a little off track there but my point being, it feels 1980’s ish and I like that.

Well thats it and I am back and ready to blog the new year in. Funmaker…out…
