1983 Greatness. Spandau Ballet- True

Sigh. I love some 80's tunes. This song was also played in one of my favorite movies 16 Candles.

Spandau Ballet- True

Beautifully Calm. Keane- My Shadow

Wow. This song. Wow.
Amazing in so many ways.
I am at many deciding points in my life lately.
But it seems to me that life is not about figuring out things. Its about living. loving.
Matter to oneself. Have a kind caring heart always. Shine the light................

Beautifully Calm. Ray LaMontagne- Lessons Learned

A calmness to this song is what is nice. A calm in its own right. The lyrics speak for themselves.

Winter sun. Rusted Roots- Send Me On My Way

I heard this song first thing this morning. It always gets me dancing, a power song if you will. ha ha.
Then I heard it again tonight. So basically this song is fallowing me today or trying to send me a message. Who knows.

Stumptown Represent! Elliott Smith- Fond Farewell

I have a plan to move far far away from here. There is only ONE thing that will make me want to stay in this town. Until then....
I heard this song tonight and I enjoy it. It seems fitting.

Elliot Smith- Fond Farewell


The Lite Brite's now black and white
Because they took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you'd want to meet
A dying man in a living room
Whose shadow paces the floor
He'll take you out any open door

This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend

He said really I just want to dance
Good and evil matched perfect, it's a great romance
I can deal with some psychic pain
If it'll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in the kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link

This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend

I see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried

This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right
Fond farewell to a friend

Moon and Stars. White Lies - Death

No specific theme tonight. I just like this song. I love the lyrics.
So a few things;
I write everyday usually about my dreams, things that inspire me, or just pure random.
Art and Music often go hand and hand with me, my art projects are all over my house.
Every moment is a moment of Self discovery.
I love the quiet of the nighttime


White Lies- Death

I love the feeling when we lift up,
Watching the world so small below.
I love the dreaming when I think of;
the safety in the clouds out my window.
I wonder what keeps us so high up.
Could there be a love beneath these wings?
If we suddenly fall should I scream out?
or keep very quiet and cling to my mouth as I’m crying,
so frightened of dying,
relax yes I’m trying
but fears got a hold on me.

Yes, this fears got a hold on me, yes this fears got a hold on me.

I love the quiet of the night time,
when the sun is drown in a deathly sea.
I can feel my heart beating as I speed from;
the sense of time catching up with me.
The sky set out like a pathway,
but who decides which road we take?
As people drift into a dream world,
I close my eyes as my hands shake, and when I see a new day,
who’s driving this anyway?
I picture my own grave
‘cause fears got a hold on me.

Yes this fears got a hold on me, yes this fears got a hold on me.
Yes this fears got a hold on me, yes this fears got a hold on me.

Floating neither up nor down, I wonder when I’ll hit the ground.
Will the earth beneath my body shake,
and cast your sleeping hearts awake?
Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies?
Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes?
I live on the right side I sleep on the left,
that’s why everything is got to be love or death.

Yes this fears got a hold on me.
Yes this fears got a hold on me, yes this fears got a hold on me.
Yes this fears got a hold on me, yes this fears got a hold on me.

Stumptown Represent! YACHT- Summer Song

Nice little Winter drive home tonight. I love night drives, the road a calm of its own. The sky was a splendidly clear blanket of stars, breathtaking.
I was recommended to YouTube YACHT- Summer Time, and that I will be transformed. So thank you to the recommender :-) this is a dedication to you. I am transformed. Now I must paint and Cut a Rug, at the same time.

Moon and Stars. Fleet Foxes- He Doesn't Know Why

Fleet Foxes are incredible.
Can't wait to see them soon!


Fleet Foxes- He Doesn't Know Why

Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
Memory is a fickle siren song
I didn't understand

In the gentle light as the morning nears
You don't say a single word of your last two years
Well you will be, you've reached the frontier
I didn't understand, no

See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight
All the evidence of your vacant life
My brother you were born

And you will try to do what you did before
Pull the wool over your eyes
For a week or more
Let your family take you back to your original mind

There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say
I can say

Winter Sun. Minus the Bear- Hold Me Down

Greatness. Smashing Pumpkins- 1979

I am more bummed then I think I have ever been. There are a few specific things and events that have happened lately that really have me down in the dumps. I am usually able to snap out of it, but these happenings have really affected me on a deeper level. I never claim to have my self all figured out (does anyone?) but one thing I know for sure is that I am able to understand that things in life are some times bad but that just makes me appreciate the good times even more. I am hoping things change soon, and there are definite things in the works that will help turn things around. Thank goodness for a supportive family and genuine friends. A song that will always take me back to a great time in my life is 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. I remember the year this song came out and I specifically remember the summer and the great memories I made with my best friend.

Moon and Stars. Band of Horses- No One's Gonna Love You

I love this song for so many reasons.
It takes me to so many places both happy and sad.
But hey, you can't have the happy without the sad.
You can't appreciate the happy times without having gone through the sad/hard times.


Band of Horses- No One's Gonna Love you


It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.

Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard
