jamglued

jamglue is an online community where you can listen to or mix music from a library of user-contributed music. jamglue was launched in december 2006, and supports a community of over a million users, who have contributed over two million mixes and tracks (crunchbase, march, 2010).

i was about to check my account at jamglue.com when i found out that the website has been shutdown due to copyright issues.  anyone can upload or download music from this website for free.  

illegal downloading of music is a violation of copyright laws.  the illegal downloading of music denies artists, and those involved in the production of music, payment for their work.  downloading copyrighted music without permission is stealing, illegally downloading of music is the equivalent of shoplifting.  in essence, it is taking something that does not belong to you.

.. guilty.

what hurts the most

i can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
that don’t bother me
i can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
i’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
even though going on with you gone still upsets me
there are days every now and again i pretend i’m ok
but that’s not what gets me

what hurts the most
was being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away
and never knowing
what could have been
and not seeing that loving you
is what i was tryin’ to do

it’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere i go
but i’m doin’  it
it’s hard to force that smile when i see our old friends and i’m alone
still harder
getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
but I know if i could do it over
i would trade give away all the words that i saved in my heart
that i left unspoken

what hurts the most
is being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away
and never knowing
what could have been
and not seeing that loving you
is what i was trying to do

what hurts the most
is being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away
and never knowing
what could have been
and not seeing that loving you
is what i was trying to do

not seeing that loving you
that’s what i was trying to do
ooohhh . . .

rebirthing

 

i lie here paralytic
inside this soul
screaming for you till my throat is numb 
i wanna break out i need a way out 
i don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
the worst is the waiting
in this womb i’m suffocating

feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen 
i take you in
i’ve died

rebirthing now 
i wanna live for love wanna live for you and me
breathe for the first time now
i come alive somehow
rebirthing now 
i wanna live my life wanna give you everything
breathe for the first time now
i come alive somehow

i lie here lifeless
in this cocoon
shedding my skin cause
i’m ready to 
i wanna break out
i found a way out 
i don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
the worst is the waiting
in this womb i’m suffocating

tell me when i’m gonna live again
tell me when i’m gonna breathe you in
tell me when i’m gonna feel inside
tell me when i’m gonna feel alive

tell me when i’m gonna live again
tell me when this fear will end
tell me when i’m gonna feel inside
tell me when i’ll feel alive . . .
