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
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

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.

part of get high and fuck volume 5



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

(Being around)

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

(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.

I could make a brand new start

Why haven't I listened to Girls before? This song makes me grin. That and being on spring break. Those and this piece of toast with butter and honey.



Lust For Life - Girls


Noni, originally uploaded by Oliver Bryce Yates.



Oh, I wish I had a boyfriend
I wish I had a loving man in my life
I wish I had a father
Maybe then I would've turned out right
But now I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad
Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head
And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart
Then I could make a brand new start in love with you

Oh, I wish I had a suntan
I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine
I wish I had a beach house
Then we could make a big fire every night
Instead I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad
Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head
And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart
Then I could make a brand new start in love with you

C'mon c'mon c'mon Kaila

and all the dreams are on my side

this is adorable



Weekend - Smith Westerns

Her tears are never ending
You wanna run but stop pretending
Na na na na na a girl like you
Do you think is it normal
To go through life oh so formal
Na na na na na a girl like you

Weekends are never fun unless you're around here too
Weekends are never fun unless you're around here too

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

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

Two times back again, we're leavin' this behind
And when you hear from you'll know it when it's time
We're listenin' believin' that it's true
I feel it, you know I feel it

We'll light the night on fire
We'll light the night on fire
We'll light the night on fire
We'll light the night on fire

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

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?
