Six Candles

Six Candles

Your amazing but your taking too much time
I've only got six candles left
And I'm trying to keep this off my mind
It's getting darker but it's the way they make feel
They try to fill my head with questions
They all doubt you but I know your real

If it takes time then I'll be patient
Know that I will stil believe
I'll take your hand and hold it tightly
Because I know you'll carry me

Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I'm tired, and wearing thin.
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

And I'm so thankful for every breath I take
Theres not a moment that goes by
I waste wiping tears out of my crying face
Don't loos so sad, you've missed the point
I'm still so glad I knew you against the odds
I'll take my chances and burn this candle through you

If it takes time then I'll be patient
Know that I will stil believe
I'll take your hand and hold it tightly
Because I know you'll carry me

Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I'm tired, and wearing thin.
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

If I could ever see the way you understand me
When no one else can see it
I know you surround me

I'll be the one who listens only when you tell me
Not walking but running, not talking, yellin

And they might never understand why I do what I do
But I can only speak my mind
And what I feel is true
I'll take a vow to be the only one who stands if it takes
All that I am, I will be standing, there, there

Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I'm tired, and wearing thin.
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I'm tired, and wearing thin.
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

Online Music Store Comparison

ExtremeTech has taken a look at the many popular online music stores and compiled their thoughts into one big roundup. All the biggies are covered: eMusic, Apple's iTunes Music Store, MSN Music, Napster, Sony's Connect Service, Musicmatch, Rhapsody, Virgin and the Wal-Mart Music Downloads Store.

As you can see, there are a lot of choices and a lot of variables to consider, so their last words are probably the best:

All of the services we looked at offer free limited-time trial periods, so if you've been looking to expand your music collection, and are looking to move beyond CDs, then give one of these services a try. In some cases you'll need to give a credit card number during the trial period, and the cancellation is an opt-out process where you'll stay in the service if you don't actively de-activate your account. So if you decide a service isn't for you, don't forget to actively shut the account down to avoid unwanted credit card charges.

Sara Valenzuela - "Lado Este"

Download it here



This song comes at you courtesy of KEXP's World Pop show, which played a different song off "Lado Este" a week or so back. Don't know what it is about breathy Spanish-language vocals that get me, but first Julieta Venegas and now this. It's a new turn for Guadalajara-based Valenzuela, Shakira-ly striking off on her own from her punk-pop band, Dosis. Granted, some of her tracks sound like they cop intros straight from Portishead, but the blend of slinky vocals and jazzy samples distract from that pretty quick. In its darker and weirder moments, Valenzuela's music is reminiscent of Poe's most recent album.

iRiver H10 Review

Gear @ IGN.com has been dormant for a while, at least with respect to audio players, for quite some time. However, they emerged briefly from slumber to post a new review of the iRiver H10.

The review author, Chris Roper, gave it an 8.5/10 and strong praise:

I really like the iriver H10 quite a bit. The audio quality is excellent and the touch strip works very well. The whole interface is simple to navigate through with this setup, making for a quick and easy track selection process.
