Tune Tuesday

This weeks musical choice happened when a dear friend gave me a mixed-tape (4 to be precise)! One song really stood out to me, it was "Everything I once had" by The Honorary Title. This is a heartbreaker song but we all need those every once in a while don't we? Even if we aren't necessarily sad but driving in the rain and want to set the mood. Hope the lights merge together in the rain drops. My favorite part is near the end when the other guy starts slightly screaming. The pain is there and makes the song all the more real. The video is below hope you enjoy!




Lyrics...

Everything I
You were, everything I once had


The bar on 1st Avenue, we went there solely for you
So you can flirt with my best friend
Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing

I won't hold on
I can't hold on
to this

There's a hole in the trust that we
mapped out in my bed for six long months
There's a hole in the trust that we
mapped out in my bed
for six long months
for six long months
Well I won't hold on,
to this

February, Valentines Day
Did my best to avoid the red cliches
So you dumped me on the subway
On my way to work at 9 in the morning
Everybody else is holding bouquets
Now I'm holding my face in the basement
Scratching away for any trace
Of affection you will leave
Falling victim to the publics prey

Well I won't hold on
No I can't hold on
I won't hold on
to this

There's a hole in the trust that we
mapped out in my bed for six long months
There's a hole in the trust that we
mapped out in my bed..
There's a hole in the trust that we
mapped out in my bed for six long months

( Oh, I won't hold on to this)

Anyone is suitable for you I,
for you I, guess tonight
Anyone is suitable for you I guess
You were a phase
It's over with
To you my beautiful
You were a phase
It's over with
To you my beautiful
You're beautiful , blue and white.
You're beautiful , blue and white.

  1. Those are some depressing lyrics! It is quite sad isn't it! I like the chorus. And it's true, sometimes we do need sad songs. I actually dreamed the other night that i was a singer in a band, and i was singing this really awesome song. but the moment i woke up the tune was gone. Damn!!!! But some other depressing stuff happenned in the same dream, so maybe that wasn't a bad thing to forget!
