I Love the Lyrics to "Passenger" by the Deftones

"Passenger"

Here I lay
Still and breathless
Just like always
Still I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares what's behind
Just like always
Still your passenger
Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
Drop these down and
Put them on me
Nice cool seats
There to cushion your knees
Now to calm me
Take me around again
Just don't pull over
This time would you please drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows down
To catch my breath
And then go and go and go just drive me
Home and back again
Here I lay just like always
Don't let me go
Take me to the edge

A Bad Idea

My daughter's friend, who lives around the corner from us is the lead singer in a Punk Rock band named "A Bad Idea". I heard them for the first time and am actually impressed. They have an old school punk sound that is what I think makes Punk Rock pretty great. The whole sound to me is real and unfiltered. These kids are true rockers and they aren't any older than 15 or 16. I love discovering good music and it does the heart good to know there are so many talented young people in our world.

The recording was done in another friend's home recording studio, which isn't a high end one, but very cool none the less from what has been described to me. There are vivid guitars painted all over the walls, and the equipment gets the job done. That's classic.

The Deftones

I can't seem to get enough of their music right now. They have kind of an industrial/alternative rock sound, but some of their songs are total thrasher. I listen to it constantly...whether I'm in the car or messin around the house. I'm sure my family is about sick to death of it by now.

I was fortunate to see the Deftones a few weeks ago and knew nothing much of their music beforehand, but after seeing their show, I was hooked. I love seeing bands live and can't wait for this one to come to town again. Should one want to go check them out, I recommend listening to samples of the following songs:
