Better than Christmas!

Relient K put two new songs on iTunes today ... in advance of their album being released like 3 mos from now (on KMD's birthday).

The first one will almost undoubtably be a top 10 single & a radio staple this winter. "I Must Have Done Something Right". It's a little too "poppy" to be one of my favorite RK songs, but it'll be nice to have such an unabashedly happy song on the radio. I really wish I had written the opening stanza to KMD last on my last Valentine's day card instead of plagarizing that candy heart w/ "U R Dreamy":

We should make jerseys, 'cause we make a good team.
But yours would look better than mine because you're out of my league.
And I know that it's selfish I hate to tell you that every day
I spend w/ you is a new best day
of my life
Everyone watching us
Just turns away w/ disgust
It's jealousy
They can see
That we've got it going on

Admit it you guys feel that way about the Dolberry / KMD combo. It's ok. We understand.

The second song didn't even make the album cut & I actually like it a little better. Called "Fallen Man", it's more rocking and I think the lyrics are esp. outstanding ... a sample ...

Take a good look at yourself and know
You've got yourself a ways to go
But difficult is not impossible
You can take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see
That you'll emerge eventually
As long as your heart's not too far gone
From the only thing that can save you from yourself

The best 99 cents you'll ever spend.

Those are good lyrics. About the only music I'm listening to these days is Jack Johnson's Curious George soundtrack. Which incidentlally- talk about good lyrics-

I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make it a better place
With my own two hands
Make it a kinder place
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I can make peace on earth
With my own two hands
I can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I'm going to make it a brighter place
With my own two hands
I'm going to make it a safer place
With my own two hands
I'm going to help the human race
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I can hold you
With my own two hands
I can comfort you
With my own two hands

And the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" song rocks the house! I think everyone needs a copy of this album for your permanent collections. What is this i-tunes you speak of?
