i am the storm and i am the wonder



What Else Is There? - Röyksopp

It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out
But nowhere near here
It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Road's end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm and I am the wonder
And the flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for
I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
What else is there?

Road's end getting nearer
We cover distance, still not together
If I am the storm, if I am the wonder
Will I have a flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions?

There's no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too
I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

there's nothing keeping me alone

I look for meaning on my own


Stuck In My ID - Reptar

So I've now discovered something lying dormant in my brain
I will never let it go, yeah, I will never be the same
I'm in the middle of a bottomless ID
Gonna make it with another and another and again
There's no hope, no future, no more of these ties to you

And when I wake up in the morning
My breakfast laid out on my bed
Some kind of memory without you, girl
She lives and spins inside my head

Yeah, I been missing lying with you
There's nothing keeping me alone
I spend a long time with my body, girl
I look for meaning on my own

I never meant to hurt you, yeah
No, I never meant to blame
Did you have a reason, darling
Or was it just the shame?

I know you been so mad at me
But I swear I'm gonna fix it, gonna make it be the same
'Cause there's one hope, one thing I know is true, yeah
I would drop all of my lovers just to kick it off with you, yeah

And when I wake up in the morning
My breakfast laid out on my bed
Some kind of memory without you, girl
She lives and spins inside my head

Yeah, I been missing lying with you
There's nothing keeping me alone
I spend a long time with my body, girl
I look for meaning on my own

And when I wake up in the morning
My breakfast laid out on my bed
Some kind of memory without you, now
She lives and spins inside my head

Yeah, I been missing hanging with you
There's nothing keeping me alone
I spend a long time with my body, girl
I look for meaning on my own

you never really had the answer

maybe everybody is crazy



Written All Over Your Face (feat. Ariel Pink) - Holy Shit

Truth
It never really came between us
Even though we had the chance
You never really had the answer
Though I gave you plenty of time
But you could mean serious business
Smiling through the ____
Driving at the edge of the country
Winding up to ______

Keep
Every little scrap of paper
You never know what you're gonna need
Your memories are sad distractions
Get so bright you can't even see
The difference in the ways of our ages
I'm beginning to think you're right
Maybe everybody is crazy

I don't have to ask you
It's written all over your face, girl
I don't have to ask you

you're the most beautiful thing



Blue Veins - The Raconteurs

When I was surrounded by the world
You were the only one who came
And you were the only one astounded
Which kept me grounded
As the other girls trashed my very name

Then I looked over
Just in time to see her smiling back at me
And saying everything's OK
As long as you're inside my blue veins
Your blue veins


Untitled, originally uploaded by lassen davis.


Yeah and the feeling that you gave me
No matter what I do or where I go
It always will remain
And those who would enslave me to get to me must get past you and will have no luck
Cause you'll protect me from all pain

You're the most beautiful, yeah, the most beautiful thing cause anything else can't compare
Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins
Your blue veins

Your blue veins

And I know you won't deceive me
Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain
You always were the first one to believe me
When I said to you girl
I think it's gonna rain
But I could be wrong

Yeah but all of these things, all these things
They're all truly nice but ain't nothing
Ain't nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins
Your blue veins

I think I finally know what I want



Yellow Wings - Keepaway

I think I finally know what I want
I want to be two places at once
I want to stretch until I split
Fall back graciously into the wind

Part of the problem is nothing is true
And nothing has happened at all
Used to let me see your yellow wings (wings, wings, wings)

Yeah yeah and it's okay!



Helena Beat - Foster The People

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand
It puts you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I make it I just follow my head
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep you all up on a corner and pay for my bread
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth, it's got nothing to lose

Yeah yeah and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight

You know those days when you wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz you're coming down hard your joints are off stud
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change
You were pacing I was insecure
Slip and fall I got the calls of the prison I was living in

Yeah yeah and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight

let's all be forgetters

it's always the ones you don't want to hear from and never the ones you do

people can be so deceitful. you let them in, they will take every advantage.

i'm mad at the world lately



Burn Bridges - Dom

Friends that you trust all probably know way too much
Just love them and leave them
It's the friends that will have your back that might stab
Save yourself from the evil
Before things get legal
When you're young don't fall asleep in the sun
Try not to get caught up in the fun
Be a snake in the grass, don't forget to laugh
Be a snake in the grass, don't forget to laugh

Burn bridges
Make yourself an island
Just forgive 'em
And forget 'em
Let's all be forgetters

People you love will never love you enough
Hormones make them feeble
It doesn't matter how tall love grows, it plateaus
Save yourself from the evil
Go where the party goes
When you're young don't fall asleep in the sun
Try not to get caught up in the fun
Be a snake in the grass, don't forget to laugh
Be a snake in the grass, don't forget to laugh

Burn bridges
Make yourself an island
Just forgive 'em
And forget 'em
Let's all be forgetters

Look At You (GRVRBBRS Remix) - Jacques Renault

Look at you, look at you, look at you, so beautiful
Look at you, look at you, look at you, so beautiful
Look at you, look at you, look at you, so beautiful
Look at you, look at you, look at you

I see a star in the night
No other star shines so bright
I see a star in the night
No other star shines so bright

Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman, oh
Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman
Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman, oh
Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman

Standing there in your finest clothes
Everlasting love that shows

Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman, oh
Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman
Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman, oh
Look at you, look at you, you're my woman, sweet woman

Look at you, look at you, look at you, so beautiful
Look at you, look at you, look at you, so beautiful

I’m sad with the way that I am

I need to do some changing. I feel like I was in such a good place so recently so I don't know how things got so messed up. I want to go back to that better place.



History (Grum Remix) - Groove Armada

I’m sad with the way that I am
I’m turning away from the past
I’m lookin’ for a better place
I’m lonely but findin’ my way

It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)
It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)

It’s starting to push at my mind
Forget all the things that I took with me
I’m throwing away all my dreams, dreams


It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)
It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)

It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)
It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)

It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)
It keeps turning me around
It keeps turning me around
(Something’s stirring up in the air)

when you smile at me and I know and we don't have to speak a word

my rock kick continues
this song is so sweet



Hands - The Raconteurs

Girl you got those hands that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
'Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best it's no surprise
And when you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say

Girl you got those eyes that see
Help me find the good that's inside me
'Cause you're the only one who really knows
How the feeling comes and why it goes
When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say

When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say
When you listen there's a hope and I know I'm being hurt
When you smile at me and I know and we don't have to speak a word
When you're with me there's a light and I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song and I know what to say

I don't wanna save you for a rainy day

Will you follow me as we run across, run across the sand?



Dance Around - Hi Tiger

I don't wanna save you for a rainy day
I'll take you home and wipe those tears away
I don't wanna save you for a rainy day
I'll take you home and wipe those tears away

Hey what do you say?
Will you take my hand?
Will you follow me as we run across, run across the sand?
When the sun goes down
We can dance around
We can dance around
We can dance around
We can dance around

Cause when the sun goes down
We can look at the stars
We can look at the stars and watch the moon stare back at us
That hollow moon
We can move there soon
We can move there soon
And if there's room
We can move there soon

And when the sunset's gone
We'll lay out on the lawn
Staring into the beyond
Or our reflections
You just gotta believe
You just gotta believe
You just gotta believe
You just gotta believe
That we'll find a place
I really hope so
I really hope so

Hey what do you say?
Will you take my hand?
Will you follow me as we run across, run across the sand?
When the sun goes down
We can dance around
We can dance around
We can dance around
We can dance around

Cause when the sun goes down
We can look at the stars
We can look at the stars and watch the moon stare back at us
That hollow moon
We can move there soon
We can move there soon
And if there's room
We can move there soon

And when the sunset's gone
We'll lay out on the lawn
Staring into the beyond
Or our reflections
You just gotta believe
You just gotta believe
You just gotta believe
You just gotta believe
That we'll find a place
I really hope so http://newyorkcitytheory.blogspot.com
I really hope so

I don't wanna save you for a rainy day
I'll take you home and wipe those tears away
I don't wanna save you for a rainy day
I'll take you home and wipe those tears away

Hey what do you say?
Will you take my hand?
Will you follow me as we run across, run across the sand?
When the sun goes down

meet me in the morning light

I'm still on my Girls kick. This song is so appropriate. So much is so fleeting. In my art class last night we were discussing this and in life I've been experiencing it. It's kinda sad when I think about it. Maybe if you have nothing, nothing can slip away. I need to become a hermit for a while.



Morning Light - Girls

Meet me in the morning light
We know it won't last forever
Wear it out while it feels right
We know that it's now or never


Anny, originally uploaded by krasno_solnce.


Meet me in the sky tonight
We could fly away together
Maybe if we try it right
We could make our love forever

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes



Pepper - Butthole Surfers

Marky got with Sharon
And Sharon got Sharice
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano
Like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes



Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes

Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Polly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
And got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes

All I wanted was to know was to know that I have never wasted my time

seriously, wasting my time is one of my greatest fears. is that weird? whatever.



Oh My God - Cults

Oh my god, I'm stuck inside the same position
I'm so tired of sitting around here with my boring life
Wishing I could find another name to go by
Late at night I'm dreaming about a time where I could change my side

Please don't tell me you know the rules to go by
I could run away and leave you anytime
Please don't tell me you know the plans for my life
I could run away and leave you here to stay inside dreaming

I'm so tired of all these honest decisions
Oh my god, I'm ready to walk right out that door
I never wanted a single thing for my life
All I wanted was to know was to know that I have never wasted my time

Please don't tell me you know the rules to go by
I could run away and leave you anytime
Please don't tell me you know the plans for my life
I could run away and leave you here to stay inside dreaming

Oh my god, I'm stuck in the same ancient tradition
I'm so tired of thinking about the things that I have been missing
I never wanted a single thing for my life
All I wanted to know was to know that I have never wasted my time

Please don't tell me you know the rules to go by
I could run away and leave you anytime
Please don't tell me you know the plans for my life
I could run away and leave you here to stay inside dreaming

where the weeds take root



Lotus Flower - Radiohead

I will shape myself into your pocket
Invisible
Do what you want
Do what you want

I will shrink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me off
And cut me off

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I'll set you free
I'll set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
'Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
I can't kick your habit
Just to fill your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free

'Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
The bird lights float into my room

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
'Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick
I dance around the pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

this, our ghost town



Ghosts - The Hundred in the Hands

I spit a fierce confusion
Amok, I kick sick with the flies
The demons are all in collusion
The young boys all fires and lies

I'm caught in the quip and commotion
My body a senseless device
Stirred by a faithless devotion
My heart beats the footsteps of mice

I snap back
Only for a moment, and I
Simmer right down
It's you, me
The lonely left in motion and this
Our ghost town

Mostly
I don't seem to slow down
Skulls roll in my wake
I run

I snap back
Only for a moment, and I
Simmer right down
It's you, me
The lonely left in motion and this
Our ghost town

I snap back
Only for a moment, and I
Simmer right down
It's you, me
The lonely left in motion and this
Our ghost town

find me where the warm wind's coming through

this is good.

Reds - Houses

Find me where the summer hides a ride
And I'll spend a life with you
Til the red skies turning blue
And that's alright

Find me where the warm wind's coming through
And I'll spend these days with you
Til the red lights turning blue
And that's alright

Saw you on the old path keeping up
With birds in your mouth
And feathers in your hair
And feathers in your hair

I spent the last few months in a warm house
Packing our suitcases with the sun in our eyes
But I spent my last five years in a ghost town
Trying to find someone I like being around

how to safely retrieve anything from under my kitchen sink

as i've learned the hard way
1) open cupboard under the sink
2) immediately jump back
3) if no cockroach is already visible, peer in
4) wave hand in the general area of the soap, sponge etc. you desire
5) immediately jump back
6) if no cockroach is already visible, peer in
7) quickly grab whatever you need
8) immediately jump back, dropping item on floor
9) if it's still all clear, pick up your item and close the cupboard. well done!
Pro tip: have Raid on hand. a lot. NYC roaches are as big as mice and they don't fuck around.

Story time! Once I opened the dishes cupboard to get a dinner plate. The next thing I know there's a roach running up my leg on the inside of my pajama pants. Traumatized for life.

lost like a lion in the canyons of smoke



Monolith - T. Rex

The throne of time
Is a kingly, a kingly thing
From whence you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are girl
In your fashions of fate
Baby it's too late

Shallow are the actions
Of the children of men
Fogged was their vision
Since the ages began
And lost like a lion
In the canyons of smoke
Girl it's no joke, oh no

It's no joke, oh no
Shallow are the actions
Of the children of men
But it's no joke, oh no, oh no
Throne of time
Is a kingly, a kingly thing
From whence you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are girl
In your fashions of fate
Oh girl it's too late oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh it's too late oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

Scattered by your hands again

I had a weird dream last night that some guy in glasses and a brown suit was singing this to me from between some roman columns.



The Ruins (Fear Of Tigers Remix) - Yes Giantess

I felt somethin
Sent a current through my bones
Power's outta my control and then
You felt nothin
Gone as quickly as you came
But the feelings not the same you said
Cause I know that

I'll be fallin from the trees
Turnin in the sand
Scattered by your hands again
I'll bloom
Breathless by the tomb
Up among the ruins
Back into your room again

There's a secret
This is not supposed to show
But you're smart enough to know where it leads
You can see it
Like a shadow on the ground
And you're surely comin down with me
And I know that

I'll be fallin from the trees
Turnin in the sand
Scattered by your hands again
I'll bloom
Breathless by the tomb
Up among the ruins
Back into your room again

I'll be fallin from the trees
Turnin in the sand
Scattered by your hands again
I'll bloom
Breathless by the tomb
Up among the ruins
Back into your room again

We'll light this night on fire

today was wonderful
i slept

Vhs Or Beta - Night On Fire (Cut Copy Remix)
Found at Night On Fire (Cut Copy Remix) on KOhit.net


Night On Fire (Cut Copy Remix) - VHS or Beta

Suitcase packed on the side of the road
Rainin' down from my head to my feet
It seems so strange in the back of my heart
That these sounds were never meant to believe

I'm set free and I'm ready to go
You can't stop me and you already know
The best days of our lives have yet to come

Back and forth through the city we'll go
New sounds comin' out of the streets
Don't look back to the parody show
Of sellin' your souls to the beat

No one saw the night behind the sky
I bet you never wondered why
You're sitting here in the midst of nowhere

Put your hands together and we'll light this night
We'll light this night on fire

Hey, empty room, I can't sleep, I can't breathe

gonna see these guys in nyc on the 15th. this song is so super fitting. been kinda really lonely lately. and i can't sleep. which really shouldnt surprise anyone who actually reads this blog (if anyone does lol). i've managed to get really behind in work. at least that's how it feels. probably could've organized this coming week better if i hadnt slept through therapy on monday (one of the hazards of not being able to sleep at night i suppose...)
ugh enough with the pity party. i haven't done irreversible damage here. yet. once i post this i will do my astrophysics homework. i promise. maybe laundry first.
something weighing on me pretty heavily is summer plans. ive never even gotten around to writing up a resume let alone actually researching what i might like to do. i'd really like to go to chicago. i need a break from new york. i know, i'm not in new york much lately anyway but i mean i need another place to spend my free time. i'm just really sick of it all. time to meet some new people and see some new places. besides, i dont think i could survive another summer living with my parents (although i love them!)
ok i think that was enough word vomit for now. check out this song and whatnot.



Hello, Empty Room - WhoMadeWho

Hello, empty room
Staring at my loneliness
Mocking me in my lonesome bed
I know you've got very close friends
Like wall, 1, 2, 3

You, stupid room, give me hell
You took my dear Michelle
Hey, empty room
I can't sleep, I can't breathe

I got nobody now
You got somebody
I'll find somebody soon
You'll be a happy room
I (got nobody now)
You (got somebody)
I'll (find somebody soon)
You'll (be a happy room)

With the music and the lights and everything

super excited for the DOM show in noho this saturday! I saw them in august opening for neon indian but i was a fan long before that. in short, this weekend's gonna be fun =D



Wait Up (Boots Of Danger) (DOM Remix) - Tokyo Police Cup

I'm on your team
But I never know when you're not
You never wear shoes without your socks
You never tell anything to me

I'm on your side
But only for a while, of course
You never use words you can't afford
A house of cards and it's a sign

So wait up
You never get nervous anymore
So wait up
You never get nervous anymore
What did you want me to say? Hey
What did you want me to do?
What did you want me to say?


sweet kiss, originally uploaded by krasno_solnce.


Inside the lines
Gotta catch 'em in a paper cup
You never know when to change your luck
The sum of everything you like

I'm on your side
So introduce me to your friends
With the music and the lights and everything

So wait up
You never get nervous anymore
So wait up
You never get nervous anymore
What did you want me to say? Hey
What did you want me to do?
What did you want me to say?

We'll put sunscreen on together



All Yr Songs - Diamond Rings

I feel it
I need you
To keep me going strong
You and I
Kissed a while
Together for so long
And if you ever wonder
How we keep from going under
It's because we find another
Reason not to give in
And even though
We may not get to where we wanna go
I do believe that we both know
It don't matter in the end

Cause in the summer weather
We'll put sunscreen on together
I would not want your skin to burn
No-oh

I've been bad
And mean to
You but you right my wrongs
I do try
You know I
Love to sing all your songs
And if you move away http://newyorkcitytheory.blogspot.com/
I'll try hard not to hesitate
And can I, can I lift the weight
Without you here to share it?
But if you have to go
I promise you it that on my own
It will be known
I was trying hard to grin and bear it

Cause in the winter weather
I'll lend you my warmest sweater
I would not want you to get cold
No-oh

No matter what the weather
I'll do anything whatever
If I could be so very bold, oh-oh
I never want us to grow old

simply your hands held in mine

i'm thinking about you
to be honest
although i'm only going to blog about it using other peoples words and photos



Synchronize (feat Jarvis Cocker) - Discodeine

Time that heals and destroys
Your wristwatch sparkles and shines
Dance to organized noise
The beat, a moment in time

Synchronize tonight
And you've timed your move just right

And the hands of time simply your hands held in mine
Synchronize
Yeah, you've timed your move just right
Synchronize
And the hands of time are just yours held in mine

It's high time you were cursed
Make your move here and now
A wristwatch falls to the ground
And time stands still in the heart of the crowd

And you've timed your move just right

And it's only a matter of time
And you've timed your move just right

it's like you hit me with lightning



Starry Eyed (Penguin Prison Remix feat. Theophilus London) - Ellie Goulding

I looked first
And she looked back
It was her eyes
Let's just leave it at that

Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning, lightning
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning, lightning
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning, lightning

Handle bars then I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in and throw out my heart and get a new one
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Ahhh

Whoa-ah, ah ah

Whoa-ah, ah ah

So we burst into colors, colors and carousels
Fall head first like paper planes in playground games
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Give it to me
I give it to her
The next day I
Call the chauffeur

Got her hair did just to make the tv
__
She needs a ride
Bliss for bliss
You feel inside
A brooklyn boy
A london girl
I fall ___
A wonder girl
___
Her rhymes ___
Starry eyes
I hear that helps
Picadilly
I take the bus
The sun's __
Just for us
Is this love
Or is it lust?
Either way
I like the touch
I hear her breathe
I hear her sigh
You got me hooked
In your starry eyes

said your heart was a swarm of bees

Wolf Parade - Ghost Pressure by subpop

Ghost Pressure - Wolf Parade

Maybe I just don’t understand
Made me feel like another man
When I kissed you there on Orchard Road
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Heard a call from the empty street
An empty room, empty seats
I know they’re dancing there invisibly
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Little vision come shake me up, shake me up
Little vision come shake me up, shake me up
Little vision come shake me up, shake me up
Little vision come shake me up, shake me up

You said your heart was a swarm of bees
Held your throat so they could never leave
I hear them buzzing there invisibly
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

And this night was just you and me
Walking through a little mystery
And you just had to know
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Little vision come shake me up, shake me up

live for the moment / you see that you're not mine



Dancing On Water - Pnau

Met by a river
And sat by an ocean
We ate all the hamburgers
And rolled 'round the range

Skipping on empty
And clutching uneasy
We're saving unfriendly
Dancing in the water

Planted a forest
And spoke to the tree line
Live for the moment
You see that you're not mine

I won an emmy
And everyone tells me
But I wouldn't tell them what

Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water, very unfriendly
Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water

Met by a river
And sat by an ocean
We ate all the hamburgers
And rolled 'round the range

Skipping on empty
And clutching uneasy
We're saving unfriendly
Dancing in the water

Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water, very unfriendly
Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water

Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water, very unfriendly
Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water

Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water, very unfriendly
Dancing on the water
Dancing on the water

I'll fall asleep like an autumn leaf next to you

I recently randomly found this awesome website Blalock's Indie/Rock Playlist where a bunch of people posted these awesome mixtapes. Anyway, I downloaded a whole series by this guy Whipple called the Get High and Fuck Mixtapes and totally fell in love. This track is off of GH&F volume 1 which you should really go download in its entirety right now.
Free mp3 of this track by hi tiger over at Blalock's Indie/Rock Playlist

fuck peter pan

Rant time. I got on this bus at 335pm with the expectation that i'd be in the city by 7:45. it is now 8:40 and I'm still in Stamford, CT. the bus was listed as an express to nyc meaning no stops in springfield or hartford. it didnt stop in springfield but it did in hartford for some reason so the bus is packed and super late and i'm mad as hell. and feverish. and starving. seriously all i've eaten since breakfast was a cinnamon roll. and this small child who has been parked next to me has elbowed me over a dozen times. i am miserable and needed to share. buuut it'll all be worth it cause I'm seeing Midnight Conspiracy at webster hall tonight with mr.oizo and chromeo doing a dj set. screwdrivers = germ-killing vodka + vitamin-filled OJ right? I'm telling myself this is a smart decision.

realize we're symmetrical

My friend just turned me on to this sexy new track. Café Zürich only have this one track on their soundcloud. Here's hoping for an album!
Please help me out by correcting these lyrics? I just got a pet bunny and I don't want to scare her by blasting the song until I can fill in all the blanks =3
