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

Colours

by Grouplove

So I pull the switch the switch the switch inside my head.
And I see black black
green and brown brown
brown and blue yellow violets red.
And suddenly a light appears inside my brain
And I think of my ways
I think of my days and know that I have changed.

It’s the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain’t that bad.

It’s the colors you have
No need to be sad.
You’ve still got your (hand?)

So Mistress Mistress have you been up to the roof?
He shot himself self
There’s blood on the wall
‘Cause he couldn’t face the truth.

Oh knock that down
leave the ground and find some space
And tell your friends friends
You’ll be back again gain
Before it’s too late.

New music makes me smile :) This song is just amazing. I’ve been playing it all afternoon.

Young Folks (Album Version)

by Peter Bjorn And John

If I told you things I did before, told you how I used to be
Would you go along with someone like me
If you knew my story word for word, had all of my history
Would you go along with someone like me

- - -

I was looking for some new music, but came full circle back to this. It’s so dreamy and relaxing. Reminds me of spring.

Midnight City

by M83

Waiting for a roar
Looking at the mutating skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in the sparkling twilight

- - -

I try not to post the same band twice, but I’ve been playing this in the car all day. M83 is slowly becoming my favorite band of the moment.
