Oh My God
As I finish washing the last of the tears off my face
Mumford & Sons were FANTASTIC tonight.
I literally cannot come up with enough amazing descriptive words for my night.
I laughed, I cried, I danced, I cried, I smiled, I cried, I frowned at people for arriving late and leaving early, I cried, I screamed and cheered, I cried…
If you can’t tell, I did a lot of crying.
I just have a lot of feelings (and the beautiful assholes had the gall to do Where Are You Now in the encore and then I broke)
Just so much talent in that group of crazy boys.
And the openers Haim and Ben Howard were totally sweet as well. Just not as many feels.
Fun Fact: I predict their next album to be Springsteen covers, which I would totally endorse after watching them cover Atlantic City.
BRUUUUUUUUUUCE.
Danger - Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside
Is this what they call love at first sight
All full of fright and I’m face first on the floor
‘Cause I got a stomach full of butterflies
When I look into your eyes
You make me want more
You are such a mystery
When you are next to me, you drive me crazy
You had me since the minute you strolled in
And even though you’re cold
You make me want more
I know you could be a danger
‘Cause to me you are only a stranger
Now I’ve got goosebumps under my skin
I know I shouldn’t but I want to let you in
Now all I wanna do is hold your hand
And tell everyone that you’re my man
You’re like the hero who fell from the sky
And now I’m fallin’ too and I don’t know why
You make me want more
River City Extension - The Fall and the Need to be Free
Keep your head up, Little Arrow
Find your path is not as narrow as it seems
You have grown.
You are free.
SONG OF THE DAY
River City Extension - Standing Outside a Southern Riot
There’s a face that’s just like mine
I used to wear it all the time
But I gave that up because I am no slave of a man
Sittin’ in my bed I’m tryin’
Oh my God I think I’m dyin’
And my poor mother’s crying
Confused and sad in the other room
Somebody tipped me off again
I used to think that I knew my friends
But it’s not the same as putting away your pride
Laying in my yard and sleeping
Wondering what house I’m keeping
Knowing I can run but I can’t hide
If there’s a place I’m supposed to go
Then why do I know what you don’t know
Does salvation only come for those who need it?
What’s the point in being right?
Denying you have seen the light
To wreck their faith because you don’t believe it?
Swallow Down Pt. I - OhBree
I just finally got around to downloading their discography and I’m so happy now ugh. This one off their newest album has to be my favorite one that I saw them do live, and they just make me want to dance. I love their sound so much, with the brass and just everything, gah.
New Band of the Week:
The Lumineers - Elouise
IF YOU’RE DOWN ON YOUR LUCK DON’T GET DOWN ON YOURSELF IT WON’T DO YOU NO GOOD
CAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE, FOUGHT 100 WARS, BUT I’M STILL FIGHTING FOR YOU
ELOUISE, WHY’D YOU LEAVE
PLEASE CONFESS, CONFESS TO ME
SING MY SONG, PATIENTLY
AND I’LL RETURN, MY ELOUISE
I’m so glad my roommate understands my taste in music superwell sometimes and finds these things for me…
With the risk of sounding crazy and/or high, I literally want to take the sound of this band and cuddle it like a blanket. That is the only way I can describe my feelings towards it.
Pink Martini - Sympathique
Ma chambre a la forme d’une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre
Les chasseurs ma porte
Comme les p’tits soldats
Qui veulent me prendre
Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l’oublier
Et puis je fume
My room is a cage
The sun streams through the window,
the bellhops are at my door
like those little soldiers
who want to take me away.
I don’t want to work,
I don’t want to lunch
I only want to forget and so I smoke.
P!nk - Try (Official Lyric Video)
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame someone’s bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You’ve gotta get up and try
