Did you folks catch Battlestar Galactica Razor this past weekend? Awesome show (though I first saw it over 2 weeks ago.. no comment). In any event, here’s a hilarious video review of the movie/episode here on YouTube.

Note - Battlestar Galactica Razor will be coming out on DVD on December 4th. Even better news - HD DVD versions of season 1 of BSG will also be coming out on December 4th.

I’m still fixated on Lifehouse. This time it’s their last song from the "Who We Are" album entitled "Storm". Yeah.. it’s a bit depressing sounding.. but the words are again.. awesome.

"How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form
Water’s getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I’d see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright

I know you didn’t bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Cause I’m so used to living underneath the surface

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I’d see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright

And I will walk on water
You will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright

Everything is alright
Everything is alright"

Here’s another set of lyrics that are just awesome. The song is called "Broken" and it’s by Lifehouse on their "Who We Are" album. Thanks to George for first introducing me to this song in his car.

"The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you’ve already figured out

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I’m an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they’re still looking for life

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain is there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

I’m hangin’ on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I’m hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will, I’ll be ok

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven’t forgotten my way home

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you"

A funny thing happened along the way while I was playing with the new Zune Software and Zune Marketplace - I rediscovered my music collection. More importantly - I’ve gone back to some of the old songs that I used to listen to all the time as a teenager - and for some of those songs.. I’ve actually begun to listen and understand those words now that I’m supposedly an adult (I suppose life was indeed easier as a teenager/kid eh?).

One such song that I just came across this afternoon was a song from New Order called "All The Way" which is on their album "Technique". Love the lyrics!! Here they are (thanks to sing365.com):

"It doesn’t take a genius to tell me what I am
Or lecture me with poetry
And tell me that I can
I don’t remember what happened yesterday
But I don’t give a damn about what all those people say.
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone.

It don’t take no Houdini
To tell me what I am
Parasites and literasites
They’d burn me if they can
But I don’t give a damn about what those people say
They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day.

It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone.

It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself"

I think the words that really stuck out came from the chorus:

"It takes years to find the nerve.. to be apart from what you’ve done..

To find the truth inside yourself.. and not depend on anyone."
