tearing up the oxygen to find one another

ok ok my number 1 most played song in 2009 is tearing up the oxygen by maritime. it holds personal meaning. i played it 1322 times.


Tearing Up The Oxygen - Maritime

if you drink enough water will i fade?
when i'm out of your system, forget the things that i said
then the scenery changes.
and cars have no remorse they take the world by force
we wish we could travel so recklessly
even in our sleep we surrender
you can do anything
and i, i should be so lucky.

so now i chase my bags someday they'll take me home
my clothes are worn so thin they accent my bones
and the sleep i've lost could rest me.
but clocks keep slippery time
they paint the salt stained lines
of the best and the worst and the maritimes
when your eyes are off me, i'm alone

they could be anywhere
i should be so lucky
tearing up the oxygen to find one another

looks good feels good too

HAPPY NEW YEAR
here's fischerspooner in homage to the new years concert i'm missing while i'm in the caribbean
fischerspooner's song "never win" was my #11 most played song for 2009 (bet you cant guess #1 but #2 was sleepyhead by passion pit then we have some sebastien tellier, ghostland observatory, cut copy, metric, goldfrapp, crystal castles, justice and some random stuff)
when i get back to cell phone service land there'll be an influx of new photos and hopefully more black and whites by february fingers crossed. hmm resolution to shoot a roll a day? sounds good to me. susan would be proud!

Kept Low (Cut Copy Remix) - Mercy Arms

Just one look to say
You still feel the way that I still do
But it could never ring true

I tried hard to see
what you wanted to be but it fell through
cause i could never explain

, originally uploaded by _shazza_.

say the words that i
long so much to hear
but you could never let go

now you're mine to view
cant fight the things i lost you to
cause i could never explain
i could never explain

Dramamine - Modest Mouse

Traveling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out Listerine
Id said what Id said that Id tell ya
And that youd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
Ive said what Id said and you know what I mean
But I still cant focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Traveling swallowing dramamine
Look at your face like youre killed in a dream
And you think youve figured out everything
I think I know my geometry pretty damn well
You say what you need so youll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
Ive said what I said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything

there is love to be made

the lyrics are so good it was hard to choose a title



Interpol - Public Pervert

If time is my vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the metal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
But some get faith before they die
Then the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes

How many days will it take to land?
How many ways to reach abandon?
Oh abandon

Oh, so swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain.
You move with me, I'll treat you right, baby,
May our bodies remain

There is love to be made
So just stay here for this while
Perhaps heartstrings resuscitate
The fading sounds of your life

How many days will it take to land?
How many ways to reach abandon?
Oh you and I

So swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
As deep we move, I'll feed you light, baby
May our bodies remain
Oh yeah in history, I'll treat you right, baby
I'm honest that way, hey

Swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain

It's a problem but it ain't gonna last

on a moldy page

ugh finals. why are The Pains of Being Pure at Heart so awesome? also, yeasayer concert nyc may 4 i cant go cause i'll be taking spring finals but if you like indie rock, check it out



Young Adult Friction - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Between the stacks in the library
Not like anyone stopped to see
We came they went our bodies spent
Among the dust and the microfiche
Dark winters wear you down
Up again to see the dawn
In your worn sweat shirt
And your mothers old skirt
It's enough to turn my studies down

Now that you feel
You say it's not real
(repeat)

I never thought I would come of age
Let alone on a moldy page
You put your back to the spines
And you said it was fine
If there's nothing really left to say
You're taking toffee with your vicodin
Something sweet to forget about him
If you go your own way
I can go my own way
And we'll never speak of it again

Now that you feel
You say it's not real
(repeat)

Don't check me out (repeat)

Ephemeral Artery - Neon Indian

seeming stripped of all the falsehood you've posessed,
you've posessed, to impress.
'til death facades are losing him at best
shattered face, scattered hands,
'til the trust, it's still displaced

frozen into coats

, originally uploaded by petite.nordique.

Phantom Limb - The Shins

Frozen into coats,
White girls of the North,
Filed past one, five and one,
They are the fabled lambs,
A Sunday ham,
The ancient snow.

And they could float above the grass,
In circles if they tried,
A latent power Im known to hide,
To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I could ever try,
Could ever try.

So we just skirt the hallway signs,
A phantom and a fly,
Follow the lines and wonder why
Theres no connection.

And weakened falling eyes,
In cheap shots from the tribe,

And were often in Marcus porch again,
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
And pilfered booze.

We wandered through the mamas house,
And the milk from the window lights,
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Beats circus slime,

So, when they tap our mundane heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

So, when they tap our sunday heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo

when I run in the dark, i dream of home

Daniel - Bat for Lashes

Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under wild blue skies
Marlboro ruby skies
I found a home in your eyes
And we'd never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed

And in the golden blue
Car you took me to
The darkest place you knew
Set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark
Daniel
Into a place that's vast
Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths our tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as the house spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the faith
For home again
For home again

LISTEN TO WOLVES BY LET'S GO TO WAR HERE
no videos for this track yet but check it out on last.fm it's awesome. Also, the lyrics weren't online so this is my attempt to type them up. Please correct any mistakes, thanks.

Wolves - Let's Go To War

Chorus
The wolves are howling a quarter after four,
The sheep are all dead but we're still cursing for more,
The devil's outside with his gun tryna start a war,
And the preacher's tryna trick me saying come inside and close the door

Repeat

In the belly of the beast, with the sleepless one,
count money, break bread, with the preacher's son
sacrificial, started preyin on the weakest one
said it worked like church when the weekend come
and i aint never goin broke, that aint no joke
i just hit the streets and hoped like the pope
sometimes i cant cope,
feel like the devil got his wire at the end of my rope
with his knife at my throat, tryna sink my boat
and they wanna pull me down when i'm tryna float
Wanna send me through the fire, the ash and smoke
and i aint askin please, i'm off my knees
lost in this struggle with these killers and theives
doin all the things no one hears and sees
i could be a saint, i could be a sinner
i dont give a fuck, it's a cold ass winter
like everything i do somebody thinks is wrong
make me feel bad for the wrongs they done
they get inside my head with the whispering tongues
find when i hide, catch me when i run
Buy fron the rich, sell it to the young
like wall street built with the blood of the slum
make you think you won, playin champion
then they take away your life and replace it with a gun

Chorus

Belly of the beast, belly of the beast, belly of the beast, belly of the beast, belly of the beast, belly of the beast, belly of the beast, belly of the beast the beast, belly of the beast in the belly of the beast
