Don’t be sad, I know you will

True love will find you in the end

True love will find you in the end
You’ll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will,
But don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch
Only if you’re looking will it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light?
But don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end

And if you like a bit of Beck

Bye for now <3

It takes more than fucking someone

It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm

<3

My hole, I’ll get my hole, I’ll get my hole
Get my hole, get my hole and I’ll find out more.
It’s a choo-choo train, a rocket launch
If we have a hormone race
I’m bound to finish first.

Can you see in the dark?
Can you see the look on your face?
The flashing white light’s been turned off,
You don’t know know who’s in your bed.

It takes more than fucking someone you don’t know to keep warm.
Do you really think that for a house-beat you’ll find your love in a hole?

Oh, you won’t find love in a,
Won’t find love in a hole.
It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm.

I’m drunk, I’m drunk
And you’re probably on pills
If we’ve both got the same diseases
It’s irrelevant girl
And the room fills with steam
Oh, evaporates disappears
My point of entry is the same way
That I leave

Can you see in the dark?
Can you see the look on your face?
The flashing white light’s been turned off
You don’t know know who’s in your bed.

It takes more than fucking someone you don’t know to keep warm.
Do you really think that for a house-beat you’ll find your love in a hole?

But, you won’t find love in a, won’t find love in a hole.
It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm.

You won’t find love in a, won’t find love in a hole.
It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself-
SEE in the dark!
Can you see the look in your face?
The flashing white light’s been turned off
You don’t know know who’s in your bed.

It takes more than fucking someone you don’t know
to keep warm
Do you really think that for a house-beat you’ll find your love in a hole?

it’s not that complicated

So, just got my internet back. That sucked because I didn’t finish posting christmas songs :(

I am going to share what I’ve been listening to this holiday period. I got the best of Pink in my stocking:

Pink – Fucking Perfect

and to go with that, my favourite ever live Pink performance: WAIT you know what, I’m going to make this a Pink post. Some of my favourite live performances:

Family Portait

Eventually

I think she bottled the wrong person, but whatever

Me and Bobby McGee

Who Knew

TAKE IT, take another little piece of my heart now baby!

Have a nice day

Last Christmas

James Dean Bradfield gave me his heart, but the very next day I gave it away. Sorry James.

Meh, you’ll just have to open youtube yoursELF!

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I Love You” I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now I know you’d fool me again

Ba da da da…

I’m not really sure why this is considered to be a christmas song, they just covered it and threw some snow into it. Still, it’s getting a post.

The Flying Pickets – Only You

Looking from a window above
It’s like a story of love
Can you hear me
Came back only yesterday
I’m moving further away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only You

Sometimes when I think of her name
When it’s only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It’s getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only You

This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what’s mine
Can’t take no more
Wonder if you’ll understand
It’s just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only You

And here is the original –

I’ll be home for Christmas

if only in my dreams <3

 

Yup, it’s the most wonderful time of the year… whatever. I’m gonna be posting a different Christmas song from my list of favourites every day. There’ll be no Slade here! (Although don’t get me wrong, that song kicks ass)

 

Today is the Twisted Sister classic rock version of I’ll Be Home For Christmas. It’s noisy but also quite lovely and will always be one of my favourite xmassy choons.

neutralmilkhotel!

I am completely and utterly head over heals in love

with this song.

I hadn’t listened to it in a while, I’m not sure why. It’s one of the most beautiful things  have ever, ever heard.

we would lay and learn what each other’s bodies were for

Add it to your winter playlist now!

Incase you don’t know: ‘Neutral Milk Hotel was an American indie rock band formed by singer, guitarist and songwriter Jeff Mangum in the early 1990s. The band was noted for its experimental sound, obscure lyrics, and eclectic instrumentation’

The song: King of Carrot Flowers

When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy’s shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other’s bodies were for

And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

ugh..

Kanye West? Snow Way!

It’s snowing! That means it’s time for a new playlist! Here are a few songs that are perfect for listening to whilst walking through the park wrapped up warm and trudging through soggy white stuff.

Firstly, some Bon Iver. Acoustic guitar and some beautiful horns…

‘Go find another lover…to string along’

Bon Iver – For Emma

Narrator:
(So apropos:
Saw death on a sunny snow)
Him:
“For every life…”
Her:
“Forego the parable.”
Him:
“Seek the light.”
Her:
“…My knees are cold.”
(Running home, running home, running home, running home…)
Her:
“Go find another lover;
To bring a… to string along!”
“With all your lies,
You’re still very lovable.”
“I toured the light; so many foreign roads for Emma, forever ago.”

<3

If you like this song, there’s a really good version of it  here that’s actually performed in the snow :)

Incidentally, a Bon Iver song was recently sampled by Kanye West. It aint half bad consdering:

Let me know what you think! More to come later x

Good evening

I think it’s about time I introduced you to the Parlotones. I saw them live a few months ago and thought they were pretty good for a support act.

It’s the kind of songs that get stuck in my head and I walk around the house singing at full volume :D

Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Parlotones

And then have a listen ;)

The Parlotones – Giant Mistake

Living In Colour

Though I dreamt with a rapid eye
By day I hoped to rapidly die
And have my organs laid on ice
Wait for somebody that will treat them right

But as the night started swallowing
You put the blood to my blue lips
Forced the life through spilled veins
Filled my heart with red again
