blah, blah, blah

Looks like someone found a new favor artist... Mariana Abasolo!

I just love everything, it's like contemporary impressionism. 

I think Mr. Van Gogh would be very pleased with your work!

Here are some of my faves and little things 

I wrote about meself with them.

Enjoy your Sunday friends!

Sometimes this is what I feel like when I talk to certain people, 

like we speak our own language.

To everyone else we look foreign and alienated. 

But we know what we mean.
It's beautiful and it is ours.

Oh to be young again. 

I did wish I was a lion when I was younger.

Actually, fuck that. 

I don't ever want to be young again.

But a lion, ah yes.

That I would be at any age. 

Sometimes I wish I could just be a tree.

Please don't cut me down and make me into paper.

I want to grow really, really tall and live with my head in the clouds.

 

dearest future prospects...

It has to be an art form, 
because I've perfected it.

I enjoy a boy who plays music.

(not in a groupie way, I just love music

and it will give us some things to discuss)

I love me some adventures. 
Come with me on them.

I'm a smart gal,

you can teach me some stuff.)

Most Importantly!

You have to make me laugh 

and feel like a child again.

xo.

I've got soul, but I'm not a solider

Still love The Killers first album, Hot Fuss.

I remember when it came out when; I was in high school.

I rushed over to the nearest music store and purchased it.

It was one of those albums I listened to on repeat, from start to finish.

I was in awe. 

(true story)

It is one of those albums that have stuck with me throughout the years.

Do you have any of those? 

It was a huge defining moment in my life,

and I'm glad that as I've aged it has grown with me.

 I create a lot of art work that is inspired by music.

Whether it be lyrics that pierce right through me, or the sound and melody, etc.

Music equally is as much a part of my life as art is.

Without it, I am certain I wouldn't be the same person.

It is my therapy. 

With that being said, I will always appreciate others being inspired by music.

Especially music that I also adore.

They are fantastic! 

All These Things I've Done is one of those songs that keeps me going. 

Literally, every sentence speaks to me. 

Happy Friday :) 

this is for you music lovers

So Beck (who is my opinion is a musical genius) has a 
little gem hidden amongst his website; The Record Club. 
Here you can find various musicians who record an album in a day. 
Instead of the usual round of re-takes, Beck chooses to display the beauty 
of what takes place while recording an album. 
It is raw, real and absolutely beautiful. 
In a world where you find nothing 
but this looming unachievable demand of perfection, 
I find pieces of work, like this refreshing, to say the least. 

"Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to 'add to' the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens."

This video is an INXS cover, I Need You Tonight. 
Honestly, not sure of all the members playing (besides Beck), 
but I do know that the girl is Annie Clark of St. Vincent (a wonderful band). She is super talented and also has spent time living in both Dallas and Boston. 
She was part of the tour bands of the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens.

newest obsession.

I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,
give up trying to be thin,
give up and turn into my mother,
god knows I love her.

and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can't do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
but I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind,
and I think he knew where I was going
he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak
it only ever makes me strong.
I've got this friend who sounds just like him,
now he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.
The same man, he turns to me he said I've got to tell you how i feel,

if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you
and my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella?"
I don't know more everyday
not in this new romantic way.

I'll always be your first love, you'll always be my first love.

And I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware,
I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man in this way.
I will never love a man cause I could never hurt a man, not in this new romantic way.

 

truth.

Love, love this blog. 

Here is today's post. 

Straight up truth.
