Rea’s song of the week :)
Cough Syrup ~ Young the Giant
Sam’s Song of the Week:
Polly Scattergood - Nitrogen Pink
Sam’s Song of the Week:
Kate Nash - Mariella
Trust me, stick around for the end of this one.
But Mariella just crossed her arms
As she walked up the stairs
And she went into her bedroom
And she sat on her bed
And she looked in the mirror
And she thought to herself
“If I wanna play, I can play with me
If I wanna think, I’ll think in my head”
“So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
See I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen”
Sam’s Song of the Week:
Brandi Carlile - My Song
Here I am, I’m so young
I know I’ve been bitter, I’ve been jaded, I’m alone
Every day I’ll bite my tongue
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
That cuts you like a word if only sung
But this is my song, it is my song
Sam’s Song of the Week:
BOY - Army
You should see my favorite people,
You catch a glimpse of gold through their skins.
I walk on air whenever I’m with them,
They’re where the happiness begins.
And another song
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
I just adore this song
On the back of a motor bike
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed we couldn’t break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside
Sam’s Song of the Week:
Marina & the Diamonds - Bad Kidz
I am so happy to finally have this CD (Mutual Friends by BOY) I’ve been stuck listening to all the songs on youtube.
They’re so great and we’ve already posted songs from them on here but you can’t have too much of a good thing.
This song is called Skin and it’s my Song of the week~ :)
Sam’s Song of the Week:
Death Cab For Cutie - Portable Television
I saw it in the soil just recently
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields of infinite greed
And here laid the father, and here stood the son
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone
For everyone
I’m forever grateful to Sam for introducing me to Regina Spektor (and for letting me be on this blog, and for reading my crappy stuff, and just generally being a great friend).
So in honour of her, my favourite Regina Spektor song so far, The Call.
Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Sam’s Song of the Week:
Sufjan Stevens - Come On! Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, All!
And the second one before I forget… Holiday by Green Day!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
I didn’t upload a video last friday
I’m a bad Eleanor
So to say sorry, I’m uploading two tonight!
Here’s the first, Seven Devils by Florence and the Machine!
Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn’t keep me out
I don’t want your money
I don’t want your crown
See I’ve come to burn
Your kingdom down
