Music Monday
This meme was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song that you really like and share it on Monday. I’m having so much fun with this meme and look forward to sharing a new song every Monday.
This week’s song pick is:
Faith No More
“A Small Victory”
I was around 15 years old when this album came out. I had enough money to purchase three CD’s from my favorite place in the world at that time–Hegewisch Records. I ended up purchasing Faith No More’s Angel Dust, Nirvana’s Nevermind and Pearl Jam’s Ten. The lead singer of Faith No more, Mike Patton, has always been a favorite and his voice captivates me. The band has been together since 1979, became Faith No More in 1982, and they still perform today.
Lyrics:
A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser
Yelling with my mouth shut
A cracking portrait
The fondling of trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?
A sore winner
But I’ll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn’t bother me, no
It shouldn’t, no, no
It shouldn’t bother me, no
It shouldn’t
But it does!
The small victories
The cankers and medallions
The little nothings
That keeps me thinking that someday
I might beat you
But I’ll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn’t bother me, no
It shouldn’t, no, no
It shouldn’t bother me, no
It shouldn’t
But it, but it does!
It. Shouldn’t. Bother me!
It. Shouldn’t. Bother me!
It. Shouldn’t. Bother me!
(It shouldn’t bother me, no
It shouldn’t, no, no)
It. Shouldn’t. Bother me!
(It shouldn’t bother me, no
It shouldn’t)
If I speak at one constant volume at one constant pitch
At one constant rhythm right into your ear, you still won’t hear
You still won’t hear
You still won’t hear
You still won’t hear
You still won’t hear
You still won’t hear
You still won’t hear
This song is from the album “Angel Dust”

Interesting. I like two of their songs, “Fallen to Pieces” and “Epic”. Me thinks I shall listen to this tune.

Great ones! Have you listened to “Easy” yet? It’s the remake originally by the band Commodores (Lionel Richie.) It’s a good one. ❤

I have to admit I’m not a huge Faith no more fan, I think the only song of their’s I’ve really listened to is Epic because it’s on the music TV channels quite a lot. Damn, Epic must be the generic song everyone has heard of.😂

Yeah, you don’t hear about them much, but they’re still touring and making albums, which I admire. I must have listened to this over and over, lol. I only had the 3 cd’s listed above for a long time and wore them out, hehehe. 😉 Epic seems to be the one everyone remembers though. 🖤
