stay with me

But I’m just the same, same as I ever was
Oh, and if you stay with me, honestly it’s what I want

Grace Potter

Grace Potter was on Chelsey Lately last night and I never realized how pretty she is! I love her music, but she was so cute and funny. It made me want to go see her and the Nocturnals in concert. She's a total hippie. I loved it!

favorite songs: "Apologies" and "Paris"

Anya Marina "Whatever You Like"

I hadn't heard this song in forever, but today I found an old cd in my car and decided to see what was on it. This was and it made me remember how much I love it.

Lil Wayne - How To Love

This is one of my new favorite songs.

Love Lil' Wayne.

Passion Pit - SYTYCD

I love So You Think You Can Dance...I'm so excited for it to be back on!

Just thought I'd post this dance from the new top 20 because I absolutely love this song and I love this dance. Amazing.

Choreographed by Travis Wall

Music: Moth's Wings - Passion Pit

Britney Spears - Till The World Ends

A lot of people don't like this song.

Let me just tell you...

I'm OBSESSED with it.

It makes me want to dance everytime I hear it.

I also, just love Britney

Unless she is shaving her head or her extensions are showing.

But mostly I love her.

Enjoy.

Frightened Rabbit - My Backwards Walk

I'm working on erasing you

I just don't have the proper tools

I get hammered, forget that you exist

There's no way I'm forgetting this

...

I'm working on my backwards walk

There's nowhere else for me to go

Except back to you just one last time

Say yes before I change my mind

...

You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it.

You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it.

Chris Young - Tomorrow

Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here.

I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.

And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen.

That voice of reason inside my head telling me that we're no good.

But tonight I'm gonna give it one last time.

Rock you strong in these arms of mine.

Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.

We're like fire and gasoline.

I'm no good for you.

You're no good for me.

We only bring each other tears and sorrow.

But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'll be stronger.

I'm not gonna break down and call you up when my heart calls out for you.

And tomorrow, you won't believe it,

but when I pass your house, I won't stop no matter how bad I want to.

Baby when we're good, you know we're great.

But there's too much bad for us to think that there's anything worth trying to save.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here.

I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.

What Do You Want

Jerrod Niemann - What Do You Want

Why’d you call me today with nothing new to say? You pretend it’s just hello, but you know what it does to me to see your number on the phone.

Now tell me, what do you want? What do you want? What do you want from me?
Are you tryin’ to bring back the tears or just the memories?
You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
When we hang up it’s almost like I’m losing you again.
Can’t you see? So what do you want, what do you want from me?
…
What do you want me to say? That I’m content? That I’m on the fence? That I wish you would’ve stayed?

Oh baby what do you want, what do you want, what do you want from me?
To come here and make love tonight cause you’re feelin’ lonely.
You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
When we wake up and say goodbye it’s like I’m losing you again.
Can’t you see? So what do you want, what do you want from me?
What do you want, what do you want from me?

All I Ask Of You- Phantom of the Opera

So I saw Phantom last week in New York. It was amazing. All three of the main characters were so good. Literally I was dying over the Phantom. I want to hear his voice every day. I want to personally hire him to sing me to sleep. Just so good. When he sang "Music of the Night" I almost died.

But I wanted to post my favorite song. It's really hard to pick one though because I love them all. I've pretty much had this whole play memorized since I was three (you can ask my Mom, they tease me about it), but this was the first time I had seen it. Anyway, this song just gets me every time. Especially in the play when the Phantom chimes in and he's just so sad. Ah it makes me cry. I think this is the saddest love story ever.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! And if you get the chance to go, go see it! Amazing!

Ten Day "You" Challenge - Day Ten

Day 10 - Ten Secrets

I love the book Post Secret! Too bad my secrets aren't that fun! Well at least not the ones I would post publicly on here! I might have a few, but those would be the ones I would save to mail in for them!

1. My full name is Kristin Rose Davis.

My middle name is for my mom's name Rosemary. I love my middle name. A lot of people hate theirs. I also love roses, possibly because of my name...or because I just think they're gorgeous. I love the peach colored ones with the darker tips the best! And of course, who doesn't love red roses? My dad also had a right hand ring made for me when I was 21, that looks like a vine with flowers on it. My mom got one that is a little different, but very similar so it's kind of fun. I love it. If you ever want to make me happy, get me roses! (well any flowers would do:) )

2. I have had a lot of nicknames.

I'm not sure what it is, but I tend to get a lot of shortened versions of my name or nicknames. Maybe because Kristin, Kristina, Kristy...etc is such a common name? My dad has always called me Deebug. In high school my water polo coach nicknamed my Skeeter because I was really skinny and fast so when I swam on top of the water I looked like a little water skeeter I guess...well needless to say all of the parents and teachers etc started calling me that and it stuck. I sometimes wonder if half of the parents knew my real name. (plus there were a few Kristin-ish sounding names when I was a freshman, so I guess it worked out). Then over the course of high school and throughout college somehow multiple groups started calling me KD. Not sure why, but lots of people just do. I think that's what most people use now. But here's a little list of some of the other one's I've had over the years.

-Deebug

- Skeeter

-KD

-Kris

-Tweet

-Toon

3. I have a slight case of OCD

It's not all the time and it's not with everything, but every now and again the perfectionist side comes out of me and I HAVE to have everything perfect. My office desk has a place for everything. Same thing with the files on my computer, etc. Then I'll go through these cleaning phases where I just scrub and srcub or I'll clean everything out of my closet every few months. If you walked into my room you might not know this by looking at it, but I know exactly where everything is. I'm an organizing monster!

4. I'm obsessed with the number 3

This goes along with #3 actually. I really do do things in 3's. I'm weird. First of all 3 is my favorite number. I always pick a number with the number 3 in it somwhere. That was my number in high school. But yes, sometimes my OCD kicks in and when I do something I do it in my head 3 times. Ok, I'm creeping you guys out now.

5. I tend to think money grows on trees.

This is something I have to work on. I have a problem where sometimes I like to spend money maybe before I have it...SAVE SAVE SAVE! ugh. I wish money grew on trees...

6. I could listen to a song on repeat for hours

If I find a good song, I won't even listen to anything else. See my addictive personality coming through? I literally will listen to it like 5 times a row in the car or just put it on repeat in my room. I'm such a weirdo.

7. I like to read my horoscope.

I'm an aries.

The Aries is guided by flashes of intuition and irresistible impulse. She is a fiery dynamo who is driven by a constant desire to forge ahead into new territories. When Aries sets her sights on a goal, it becomes an all-enveloping quest. The Aries native never gives up, but moves ever forward with an obstinate force of will. Like all fire signs, she constantly feels vital energy pulsing through her, and she must use that energy or burn up!
Aries strives for independence, and success is defined by a series of distinctive or high-reaching personal achievements. Coming in first or accomplishing the impossible are the ultimate goals. Athletes, entrepreneurs, soldiers, doctors, religious leaders, race car drivers and explorers are all associated with this sign. Aries does not fear danger, and accidents are all too common with this sign, particularly head injuries.
If the Aries seems brusque or disinterested it is because her mind is set on a goal that entirely absorbs her energy. Anything that interferes becomes an annoying distraction. Once the Aries sets her sights on someone or something, that becomes an urgent and immediate priority. If you are that goal, you can be sure that you will be showered with a love that burns as bright as the sun, and you can expect to be blessed with the greatest fire of devotion.

Does it sound me like?

8. If I could be anything in the world I would be a country singer

Big hair and all. I would love it! Or maybe a cardiothoraic surgeon...

9. I've only told one person "I love you" and meant it.

I have had "the talk" with people and talked about how I may be falling in love, etc...but I've only told one person that I loved that and really meant it. He knows who he is.

10. I still don't really know what I'm doing with my life.

I think I'm ok with that. I'm just going along with things for now, putting myself out there, putting in applications for school, and hopefully things will all fall together the way they should. Maybe not the way I want, but eventually I will see why.

"Give In To Me"

from Country Strong

I love this song.

Ten Day "YOU" Challenge - Day 2

Day 2 - two songs

1. Wild One Forever - Tom Petty

2. Skinny Love - Bon Iver

These two songs are some of my go to songs. I just absolutely love them and listen to them all the time. Take a listen for yourself and you will know what I mean.

somewhere with you

The other day I wrote a blog about Adele's song "Rolling in the Deep". I talked about how it's one of those songs that speaks to you. Sometimes it seems like a song was written just for you. Sometimes a song just means something to you at a certain time and you just need it. This weekend this was my song. I think it explains exactly what my heart is feeling. You know how sometimes you have the words, but you almost don't know how to say them...I feel like I knew what to say, but this just makes them sound so much better. I was out of town this weekend on a super fun trip, but at the same time I was having a slightly emotional time on the inside. Maybe Kenny just knew what I was feeling.

Somewhere With You - Kenny Chesney

If you're going out
With someone new
I'm going out
With someone too

I won't feel sorry for me
I'm getting drunk
But I'd much rather be
Somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at 3 a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go
Somewhere with you, yeah

I won't sit
Outside your house
And wait for the lights
To go out

Call up an ex
To rescue me
Climb in their bed when I'd much rather sleep
Somewhere with you

Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear

I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high
'Cause when I close my eyes

I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you

If you see me
Out on the town
And it looks like
I'm burning it down

You won't ask
And I won't say
But in my heart I'm always
Somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at 3 a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high
'Cause when I close my eyes

I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you

Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

I'm obsessed with this song (well her whole album, as I've stated before) right now. It's one of those songs that kind of just speaks to you and just fits. You know how sometimes you just sort of latch onto a certain song for a while...I love this one. I belt it in the car. Yeah, I'm the girl who you see driving on the freeway just singing along and I don't care who stares at me. Sometimes I'm even crying. HA. But that's just me. It's one of those therapies that I talked about in my Taylor Swift post. I wish I had Adele's...(or Taylor's) voice.

Anyway, take a listen and I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

*I love this video too*

Adele - Rolling in the Deep

There's a fire starting in my heart,

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark,

Finally, I can see you crystal clear,

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your sheet bare,

See how I'll leave with every piece of you,

Don't underestimate the things that I will do,

There's a fire starting in my heart,

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark,

The scars of your love remind me of us,

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,

I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,

(You're gonna wish you never had met me),

Rolling in the deep,

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

You had my heart inside of your hands,

(You're gonna wish you never had met me),

And you played it to the beat,

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Baby, I have no story to be told,

But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn,

Think of me in the depths of your despair,

Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,

The scars of your love remind me of us,

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,

I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,

Rolling in the deep,

You had my heart inside of your hands,

Throw your soul through every open door,

Count your blessings to find what you look for,

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,

You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown,

We could have had it all,

We could have had it all,

It all, it all, it all,

Adele - Someone Like You (Live in Her Home)

Someone Like You - Adele

I heard that your settled down.
That you found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yeah.

You'd know how the time flies.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over yet.

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead" yay.

Nothing compares no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nevermind I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me I beg I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yay yeh yeah

float on

"Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.

Alright already we'll all float on.
Alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy.
We'll all float on...alright. Already we'll all float on."

we belong

Nicest Thing

Nicest Thing

All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something

I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style

I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three

I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something
