Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon

New song by Lana Del Rey, from her third and upcoming album which is yet to have a release date set. I must say that I have been late to the Lana Del Ray party, only really waking up during the time of the second album and that short film of hers - Tropico.

Honeymoon

We both know that it's not fashionable to love me

But you don't go cause truly there's nobody for you but me

We could cruise to the blues

Wilshire Boulevard if we choose

Or whatever you want to do

We make the rules

Our honeymoon

Say you want me too

Dark blue

We both know the history of violence that surrounds you

But I'm not scared, there's nothing to lose now that I've found you

We could cruise to the news

Pico blvd in you used little bullet car if we choose

Mr. Born to lose

Our honeymoon

Say you want me too

Dark blue

There are violets in your eyes

There are guns that blaze around you

There are roses in between my thighs and fire that surrounds you

It's no wonder every man in town had neither fought nor found you

Everything you do is elusive to even your honey dew

Our honeymoon

Dreaming away your life

Time Capsule

Some music transforms you back to a different time, a different place and makes you remember how you felt when you first got in to that particular track, artist or album.

I've been searching for a name in my mind of a band that I listened to during my first year of living in London and it finally clicked. The name I was looking for was Cardinal Jack.

This particular track of theirs makes me think of the smell of beer spilled on pavements in warm summer nights, the vortex of people at Camden Market and the dingy small clubs that I used to go to. Listening to this song makes me remember how new and fresh everything was and how I excited I was to be in this big city, where my music tastes suddenly were reflected in the pub jukeboxes of the watering holes we would hang it on after our lectures at the university were finished.

O.J.

I've had this song stuck on my mind, on repeat, for the last 24 hours. I find it surprisingly energising in the morning.

Darkest Light

Hypnotise

Look me in the eyes

Release your mind

I can make you mine

Family Tree

MK MIX

I've been listening to this mix in the office. It is a surprisingly good as work music but then again - played it at a pre-party this weekend before going out and it worked wonders for that occasion as well.

Swedish Summer - Fire Burn

The kind of song that makes me think of forests, wine, stars and the smell of grass and mist in the evening air...

Old dairy entry - 2006

I was reading my old dairy today and I found an entry that was quite full on. It was relating every single line of a song's lyrics with how I felt by underlining it with a sentence of my own... All I can say about it now is: I am glad that this was 2006 and that I no longer feel like that.

Bright Eyes - Black Comedy

Once I gave a look to you but you never gave it back

That is normally how it goes

So here I stand expressionless,

I can not talk about it

but my memory’s intact

Playing like a movie on a loop, again and again in my head.

I guess the past is good for a laugh

If I make a joke about it first, you can't

A comedy so dry and black that it makes my stomach hurt so bad

Oh yes, that's my life

I cried, so two thumbs up we give this one,

The tears forever present

despite it’s predictable ending,

Everything always ends in the same way

The dialogue seemed rushed and wrong

That is me in a panic

but the actors did their best to place some worth on every word,

Everyone lies and says it'll be fine

like coffins dropped into the earth,

In my dreams, you are alive

the saddest song we ever heard, we sang along,

The darkness is so familiar now, isn't it?

we sang: Take this weight away,

Please, let me be able to breathe again

take this weight away...

Sometimes you just can't breathe

Hannah Peel - Chloe

To spend a life in a dizzy maze

Returning phrase of mine

When that first, first took it's place

You chose, you chose unwise

Let them love you, let them try

You confuse your head

You chose to do this, yes you did

So never say regret

Whatever else we gave to each other

all the pain we endure to get further

All the things that we gave to the others

conversations we had with other

All the lies we exchange had to recover

And we walk through the streets like strangers

To night what we feel is to not live at all

You walked and wide

And stayed past five

We stand in doors disguised

Let them love you, let them try

You confuse your head

You chose to do this, yes you did

So never say regret

Whatever else we gave to each other

all the pain we endure to get further

All the things that we gave to the others

conversations we had to recover

All the lies we exchange by the other

And we walk through the streets like strangers

To night what we feel is to not live at all

I live for now

I am not lonely in my dark

I've met with my fear

I am not lonely in my dark

I live for now

As we walk through the streets like strangers

To night what we feel to not live at all

Josh Record - Wonder

Soon the stars will disappear

Have I forgotten how to sleep

I wonder

The clouds appear and lands will meet

The sun will raise its head for me

In wonder

All I ever wanted is you

And all I ever wanted is you

Unashamed you bear my name

You take me to those days, we were younger

Your secrets are now mine to keep

Our shadows meet

Your night's in vowed

In love

All I ever wanted is you

And all I ever wanted is you

All I ever wanted is you

And all I ever wanted is you

So here we stand

Oh, when the mist of all we had

We will stand

You are just a plea

With the love we have achieved

And all I wanted is

Is you

All I ever wanted is you

And all I ever wanted is you

All I ever wanted is you

And all I ever wanted is you

Meet: A Million Billion Dying Suns

As the million billion suns die, they coalesce into one singular form of energy, before they explode into super nova. It is the vanishing point, where you and me don't matter, but we do. And so do you. Yes You. We are all Dying Suns, sewn into the same fabric. Endlessly dying, constantly living, in the pattern of the infinite universe.

Rearrange

Trying to find a diamond in an avalanche

But you just haven't had the chance

Oh, let it out, let it out

Let it all out

You rearrange my mind

We could have a hell of the time

You must've fallen down from out of the sky
When you were too high from flying around
I swear to god you must be some kind of ghost in disguise
The way you haunt me when it comes down

Fireman

He take a one step forward, one step back
And it's all a part of his attack
He take a one step forward, one step back
Cause he knows I like that

Fireman, oh fireman

Somebody turn up the fan

I better watch my hands

You say that it's alright

It is all I ever wanted

Tove Lo - Habits

And I drank up all my money
Tasted kind of lonely

How I spend my day time

Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive

I make it fast and greasy

I know I'm way too easy

You're gone and I got to stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind

Paradise

Touch you once, my fingers go numb

Hold my breath one second to long

Fainting nervous when I wake up

You'll be gone, you're all that I got

Being with you a natural high

Still got every single butterfly

Just what they all wish that they had

So intense it's driving me mad

So into you now

I want you for a million days

So say you want the same with me

With love for real without the lies

Is that what they call paradise?

I got a Good Feeling

I spend my life taking similar answers
So I'm asking do I have to pay to live with this bastard
Yes cause it's the middle of the night so we can't leave
No I could throw a tantrum or I could throw a party

Life has been so crazy but I've got a good feeling
So I wanna share it but I'm new to this
I wanna fill my cup
Lift it up to the ceiling
I don't really care who i do it with

Kill Me

A song from the lovely Jared Evan, it's quite outspoken but it is something about it - that is very catchy and really hits the spot.

It's free to download from his SoundCloud, so I recommend it!

Feel my pain, I got an addiction

She's a drug she be all in my system

Sort of like a fiend when we fuck be blowing and sniffing

And all I really need's a prescription

If she's weed, I can't smoke enough

She's like heroine and sex man, she's dope as fuck

And I ain't getting any better here

I'm still sick with illness, kill me cause everything will be forever clear

Ever since the pain I can never bare

I'm loosing my brain but she gives it to me everywhere

I'm addicted baby, so why don't you kill me?

You're a sickness baby, but I need you to heal me

I can't take this no more, I've been having withdrawal

I've been feeling so alone, so I need you to kill me, kill me

...

My heart is nuclear

Laying on a fake beach

You will never get a tan

In the night your heart is full

And by the morning empty

But baby, I am the one that left you

You are not the one that left me
