Everyone has a favourite song and one of mine is Your Bones by Of Monsters and Men and here are the lyrics in video.
Here are the lyrics written down:
In the spring we made a boat
Out of feathers out of bones
We set fire to our homes
Walking barefoot in the snow
Distant rhythm of the drum
As we sailed towards the storm
Baby lion lost his teeth
Now they’re swimming in the sea
Troubled spirits on my chest
Where they lay to rest
The bird all left my tall friend
As your body hit the sand
Million stars up in the sky
Formed a tigers eye
That looked down on my face
Out of time and out of place
So hold on
Hold on to what we are
Hold on to your heart
Awaken by the sound
Of a screaming owl
Chasing leaves in the wind
Going where we’ve never been
So I say goodbye to you, my friend
As the fire spread
All thats left are your bones
That will soon sink like stones
So hold on
Hold on to what we are
Hold on to your heart
So hold on
Hold on to your heart
I have practiced singing this song until I could sing it off by heart, I sang it for my class and they loved it. It really meant a lot to me how they clapped afterward. I got a bunch of compliments from people who don’t usually compliment others.
If I couldn’t listen to music I don’t know what I’d do. When music is playing I just want to dance and sing. I like rock music best but country music and some fast classical music are also good to dance and sing to.
Music is played in my house a lot. It’s been like that ever since I was a baby, but it was probably like that even before I was born. Ever since my dad got his iPod music is played even more. My whole family likes it and dances and sings with each other. That sounds a little crazy but it’s so much fun. I like seeing my family’s different dances and when my dad pretends he’s a rock star it’s pretty funny. Sometimes I break dance and my sister likes to do ballet. My little brother likes to look like a rapper which is hilarious because he’s only 4. My mom likes to dance with us and spin us around. Sometimes she dances all crazy and makes us laugh. My dad likes to pick us up and then he dances while he sings to us. I’m getting a little too big to be picked up so that really doesn’t happen for me anymore. That’s OK though because I still like to dance on my own.
There are lots of really good songs that I love to listen to more than others. Three of my favourite bands are The Killers, Nickelback and Green Day because I like their sound and they have a strong beat in a lot of their music. I don’t really have a favourite Killers song because I like them all. I like some more than others like The River is Wild, Spaceman, and Read My Mind. Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake me up when September ends, Know your Enemy, 21 guns and American Idiot are my Green Day favourites and Saving Me and Gotta Be Somebody are the Nickleback songs that I like best. I have to be careful when I sing some Nickleback songs because they sometimes swear so I either lip synch them or not just pretend they aren’t there. That way I won’t get into trouble or people might think I’m a rude kid and I don’t want my little sister and brother to learn these words from me. When I play these songs they make me feel happy and I just want to sing! There are other songs I like from Marianas Trench, Stabilo, The Watchmen, Hinder and other bands too, but if I listed all of the songs that I like it would probably take a month to write them all down. Who wants to sit and write for that long? Not me. That’s for sure.
On my last birthday I got an mp3 player too so I can listen to these songs whenever I want. I have to get better at remembering where I put it last and to recharge it so I can play them whenever I want to listen to music. Since I can take my mp3 player anywhere I just need to remember where I am because suddenly singing and dancing in Wal-Mart or Superstore might seem a little wierd.
