I listen to music.
I take pictures.
I enjoy being crafty.
This blog combines the three.

I also ♥ . . . loom knitting. indie rock music. doctor who. harry potter. baking & cooking. traveling. road trips. the beach. laughing.

I am currently reading: The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest on my kindle. :)

"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye

But I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know

"Not Your Fault" by AWOLNATION

She was built with a brain
And some swagger.
A little scream, little cry,
Little laughter.
She’s a ten,
I’m a joke in my own mind.
But she still loves to dance
With my punch lines.

This love found us
Now I see it.
This love up down.
Please believe.

"Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" by Calvin Harris

I feel so close to you right now
It’s a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal
Your love pours down on me, surround me like a waterfall
And there’s no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now

"Paradise" by Coldplay

Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she’d fly

"Blackout" by Breathe Carolina

I’m only getting started, I won’t blackout
This time I got nothing to waste
Let’s go a little harder
I’m on fire, I won’t blackout
I’m on my way

I’m only getting started and I can’t see your face
Cigarette the wrong way, Inhale to the top of my lungs
Are you dying for this?

This song has been getting a lot of play in my car. It’s far too addicting for its own good, much like those Brownie Cookie Cups I made the other day. :)

{ Brownie batter divided into 12 cupcake tins, topped with a spoonful of cookie dough batter (from scratch - it’s better. trust me!). Bake @ 350 for 25-ish minuets. Let cool and destroy. OMG! }

"Immigrant Song" by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Karen O, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

- - -

Saw the movie, reading the book, loving the character of Lisbeth and this song a lot. :)

"Mr. Rager" by Kid Cudi

When will the fantasy end?
When will the Heaven begin?

- - -

This song is not something you’d normally find in my music collection, but it’s touched me because of this story. Maybe you’ve seen it on the news or heard about Ben Breedlove through an e-mail forward… either way we should all take a moment to watch and reflect.

"Joy Formidable - Whirring"

This much delight
Fills columns to new heights
All these things about me you never can tell

Colours run prime
Paint a picture so bright
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

I can see you staying here

Fierce steps shadow, Life’s will gone shallow
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

I can see you staying here

"The King And All Of His Men" by Wolf Gang

You took her soul, so incomplete
Why don’t you stop fighting me?
You’re in control
So why should you be fighting me?

This is just a fun song to listen to. :)

"Time To Pretend" by Mgmt

This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.
Yeah it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

- - -

Love it <3 I didn’t want to repeat another band, but I’ve been listening to this a lot in the car. MGMT is such an amazing band. :)

"All I Ever Wanted" by The Airborne Toxic Event

I can only say these things to you when you’re sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires the sounds of the morning creep in
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me

You tell me that you’re scared that you’re turning into your mother
I feel myself turn into my father
We could lie to each other like they do and say were so happy
It’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly

"What You Know" by Two Door Cinema Club

And I can tell just what you want
You don’t want to be alone
You don’t want to be alone
And I can’t say it’s what you know
But you’ve known it the whole time
Yeah, you’ve known it the whole time

Amazon is finally starting to recommend good music for me. :)

"Games for Days" by Julian Plenti

Babe, you played my heart
But the way that you played was art

In your eyes
I’ve been televised
Great big lies
As the vulture flies
I meditate to grow wise
I declassify

I take it all away
I take it all away
Cause you just taste like the others

- - -

Paul Banks is amazing. Interpol… Julian Plenti… both are <3
