Happiness... Survivor

Post by Sufjan Stevens »

I have been seeing the Naveed and Clumsy survivors going on, so I figured why not make one for my favorite OLP cd.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Sorry, I thought I added that as an option...there's no way I would normally forget that song....it's probably my 2nd favorite off that cd.

in fear u should not cower,

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."
-Feeder - Just a Day

I am still awesome.........................................................................................seriously.

How can anyone want Waited or Blister to go? For some reason my psycho friend Bananababy doesn't like Potato Girl....which makes no sense.

who the heck would vote for Consequence? thats just not right LOL
i voted for Is Anybody Home, i think it could have been a lot harder on the CD, live its great but the cd version just doesnt cut it enough for me

but this one is definately the toughest of the 5 CD's to choose in my opinion... too many great songs
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

:| Nooooooo.....!!!!! I love Potato Girl!!! It's one of my all time favorite OLP songs!!! I voted for "Consequences of Laughing," for some reason, I've never really liked it that much. I usually skip the song to get to Stealing Babies.
HARDCORE!!!

OMG. I can't believe I din't think fo you
until now because when I think on
a scale of one to ten you're like YWELVE.
No, seriously?

I <3 my HLP!!!!!
