Hey, I'm Charlie Bartlett and this is my blog about teen movies, music, videos, personal rants. Feel free to make a request or ask advice and dont forget to register!
This song is so beautiful that I just needed to share it. Not to mention that I’m sure most every boy and girl in or who has gone through High School will be able to listen to this song and relate.
The lyrics are written from the perspective of someone in HS, though, so don’t expect them to be the most metaphorical or sophisticated. However, how many times have you found that lyrics of that nature ever made you feel any emotions? I really can’t think of any. I think it’s the direct lyrics that make this song, not to mention the amazing harmonies, the note choices… everything about this song is beautiful. Not to mention the point of the song rings true and happens frequently.
As a follow up to that video, I think I should post this song. No, it doesn’t constantly pummel you with reasons why we’re lucky to have what we do have, but I guess that’s why I like it better. Plus, it does have the line “no matter how hard it seems/there’s always someone in another position,” which I think just works.
Beautiful song with an uplifting positive message. Check it out.
I got this requested a LOOONG time ago (sorry KillaB) and I’m just now getting to it. 8 Mile came out in 2002 and became the number one movie in America. At the same time Eminem had the number one hit song (Lose Yourself) and the number one album too. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think anyone had ever done that before.
I saw this video the other day and I was like DAAAAAAMN this girl is awesome! I don’t usually like “myspace sluts”, but this song goes HARD and the video is super-sexy. “I Love U” sounds like a cross between a Lil Jon song and what Britney Spears SHOULD sing if she didn’t give a fuck. You can watch the video above and download the song below.
I can’t believe this album is 10 years old! It used to be the SHIT back in grade school. I remember seeing the Bawitdaba video constantly playing on MTV. It’s a shame that when you mention Kid Rock people only know that one song from him because there are so many good songs on this album like “Cowboy” and “Devil Without A Cause” that sound great when you’re in the car. Yeah, I’m atheist, but my favorite track on the album has to be “Only God Knows Why;” it’s probably the best song made with Auto-Tune ever! Read more…
This used to be the “Lolipop” of the 90’s aka an “Oral Sex anthem.” Although, the lyrics were a lot more obvious and nasty. Big Boi from Outkast is on this song too.
If you wanna laugh, watch the video of two idiots dancing to this song below, it’s pretty funny.
It’s kinda hard to believe now, but 50 used to be a good rapper. Basically he RULED 2003 with this album. Keep in mind this was before all the cocaine and steroid use. “Many Men” has to be his best song every lyrically. When I can actually afford to buy my own car this has to be one of the first albums I’m gonna bump.
ps. NEVER watch the movie “Get Rich Or Die Trying”- unless, of course, you want a good laugh. It’s incredibly fake and was made when 50 was getting a big head so he exaggerated a ton of details of his life. I actually walked out of the movie theater I was so disappointed.
So yeah, the reason I haven’t posted in a while is because my internet at home is screwed up and also… partially because I’ve been high lol. Well, not “ALL the time” as 50 says in this song, but you know I had to fuck with Mary J. since I’m on break from school.
Hmm, I think I’ll share 50’s best album while I’m at it. STAY TUNED KIDS!
La Haine is probably the BEST (and only lol) French movie that I’ve ever seen. Hell, we saw it in film class as an example of ‘European Art Cenima’ (even though it has a lot of violence and swearing it’s college so they let anything slide) Translated it means “The Hate.” The plot focuses around 3 teenagers who grow up in the projects of Paris. This film is important because it shows that hate will continue to thrive even after racism is obliterated because of classism.
Don’t worry, english subs are included.
Come to think of it I have a final in my film class in… 6 hours. Shit. WTF AM I DOING!!! I’m such a lazy ass.
[EDIT 12-27-08: Links for movie with embedded subs added]
This is another song about prostitution by a indie Canadian rapper Katchphraze. I was actually supposed to go to Canada and visit him, but NOOOO I didn’t get a car like I thought that summer.
