Great episode tonight. Took me about hour and a half to realize the episode would be 2 hours long – and I wasn’t drinking!

Anyway, this episode started off with a bang from my favorite band Radiohead and finished with another fine band the frames. And the episode was quite excellent. Interesting how good it was without any of the other cast. Hopefully the producers take note.

I expect some good music during tonight’s Chuck season (hopefully not series) finale. I’ll post the music here. Keep checking back…

How awesome was tonight’s episode? I’m wondering about that “To Be Continued…” though.

Christmas TV Lyrics

It’s okay to have scars, they will make you who you are
It’s okay to have fear, as long as you’re not scared of going here
And in the middle of the night, just call if you wanna talk
‘Cause you know that I wanna talk too

It’s not bad of you to think ’bout what might go wrong
But you can’t blame me for secretly hoping that I’ll prove you wrong
It’s okay that I pray that you will miss your flight
And have to stay with me another night

It is brutal, it’s brutal, why can’t you see
It’s brutal, it’s brutal, where have you been
‘Cause we’re far apart and my lonely heart
Finds it hard to get through the night
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light

When we’re out in the market and out on the streets
I’ve got a pocket full of problems and a pocket full of seeds
Hoping something good might grow out of this mistletoe
And I won’t have to erase your memory

I like the way that our arguments stop when we fall asleep
And the way that your body feels when it’s wrapped around me
And I’d like it if you made it to mine by Christmas Eve
So you can hold me
And we’ll watch Christmas TV

It is brutal, it’s brutal, why can’t you see
It’s brutal, it’s brutal, where have you been
‘Cause we’re far apart and my lonely heart
Finds it hard to get through the night
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light

So come on home, just come on home
Just come on home, just come on home… (repeat)

I did not see the Kutner suicide coming. He was the only likeable character.

The music they used at the end of the show was Lose You (iTunes)from Pete Yorn’s album Musicforthemorningafter (iTunes).

Lose You lyrics (iTunes)

I’m taking a ride off to one side
It is a personal thing.
Where?
When I can’t stand
Up in this cage I’m not regretting.
I don’t need a better thing,
I’d settle for less,
It’s another thing for me,
I just have to wander through this world
Alone.
Stop before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here,
Rest even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to,
I don’t need a better thing
(Just to sound confused)
Don’t talk about everyone,
I am not amused by you.
I’m gonna lose you,
Yeah I’m gonna lose you
If I’m gonna lose you,
I’m gonna lose you,
Yeah I’m gonna lose you
If I’m gonna lose you
I’ll lose you now for good

The current LL Bean holiday commercial is using Fountains Of Wayne – Valley Winter Song (iTunes) from their album Welcome Interstate Managers (Amazon MP3)
.

Fountains Of Wayne – Valley Winter Song (iTunes) lyrics
Hey Sweet Annie
Don’t take it so bad
You know the summer’s coming soon
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

Your daddy told you
When you were a girl
The kind of things that come to those who wait
So give it a rest girl
Take a deep breath girl
And meet me at the Bay State tonight

And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it’s been falling all day long
What else is new
What could I do
I wrote a valley winter song
To play for you

And late December
Can drag a man down
You feel it deep in your gut
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
In a dark house with the windows painted shut

Remember New York
Staring outside
As reckless winter made its way
From Staton Island to the Upper West Side
Whiting out our streets along the way

And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it’s been falling all day long
What else is new
What can I do
But sing this valley winter song
I wrote for you

I’ve been looking for this commercial music. Looks like it might be Ingrid Michaelson. The commercial is below along with the lyrics. If you know for sure it’s her, please respond in the comments section.

Give just a little of yourself to me
My heart is in the moment
My hands are to here to give to you
