Oh this heavy heart is missing you around
This following seemed like an apt thought to describe the current and upcoming post grad life.

We aren't caught up in your love affair
Since I spend most of my day listening to music on Spotify in order to get through the work day, I have been discovering new music.
Actually that's a lie, I've been listening to the same five songs on repeat all day. One of the songs is Royals by Lorde.
Everything about this song, I love. The music, the lyrics, the video, the accent. Yeeeah.

The further out you look, the further out you'll be
springtime from Olivia Rae James on Vimeo.
This may be my favorite video ever. Can I please be her? I posted her photography earlier, when she traveled in Europe for a year. Also check out how adorable she and her boyfriend are. Sigh. The post title comes from the song in the video, The Next Time Around by Little Joy.
Have a lovely weekend! I shall be moving into my first apartment tomorrow! Ooh ooh.
what protects our hearts
Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess.
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.
We are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable, girls and boys.
You fasten my seatbelt because it is the law.
In your two ton death trap I finally saw.
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret.
Then you drove me to places I'll never forget.
And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.
And we are so fragile,
And our our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

I don't have to exist outside this place
I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
I don't have to exist outside this place
And dear know that I can change
But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time
With me
And I can draw the line on the first date
I'll let you cross it
Let you take every line I've got
When the time gets late
But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time
With me
If you want me
Let me know
Where do you wanna go
No need for talking
I already know
If you want me
Why go
Lyrics from "Stars" by The XX.
You'll never be what is in your heart
weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your heart
weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the start
weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rape yourself,
take all the courage you have left
wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head
and it was your heart on the line
i really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle any of your score
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
i really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
Lyrics from "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons. Photo sources unknown.
All the burdens of peoples' pasts
Does it matter that I fall down
My wall down
When the border is inside or remained
Brings me back
Do you know the adversary
And carry
All the burdens of peoples' pasts
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go
The road can be stronger
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger
The road can lay longer
Skeletons
Love my name
Love left dry
Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton
The Lord God Bird
In the delta sun, down in Arkansas
It's the great god bird with its altar call
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
On the great bayou were they saw it fall
It's the great god bird down in Arkansas
And the hunters beware, or the fishers fall
And paradise might close from its safe flight flawed
It's the great god bird through it all
And the watchers beware, lest they see it fall
And paradise might laugh when at last it falls
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
It's the great god bird with it's altar call
Yes, it's the great god bird with its altar call
Yes, it's the great god bird through it all
"The Lord God Bird" by Sufjan Stevens, one of my favorite songs. Beautiful photography by Anna Aden.
Waitin' for a Superman
I asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it getting heavy?
And then realize
I didn't need you to reply
Is it getting heavy?
And then realize
It's getting heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
Because it's getting heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Tell everybody
Waiting for Superman
That they should try to
Hold on the best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
I love Iron & Wine's version of "Waitin' for a Superman"
It was so easy and the words so sweet
It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song.
You can't believe it; you were always singing along.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't believe it; you were always singing along.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't remember; you try to feel the beat.
You spend half of your life trying to fall behind.
You're using your headphones to drown out your mind.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't remember; you try to move your feet.
Someone's deciding whether or not to steal.
He opens a window just to feel the chill.
He hears that outside a small boy just started to cry
'Cause it's his turn, but his brother won't let him try.
It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song.
You can't believe it; you were always singing along.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't remember; you try to move your feet.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can't remember; you try to feel the beat...

Soft shock
Unknown, talk to unknown
Ever, lasts forever
Well, it's a sharp shock to your soft side
Summer moon, catch your shuteye
In your room, in my room
In your room, in my room
Louder, lips speak louder
Better back together
Still it's a sharp shock to your soft side
Summer moon, catch your shuteye
In my room, in your room
In my room, in your room
What's the time, what's the day, gonna leave me
What's the time, what's the place, gonna leave me
Leave me out
Leave me out
Leave me out
Leave
Lyrics from Soft Shock by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I cannot stop listening to the acoustic version.
Stayed up all night
Tape holds things that cannot stick
and keep leftovers in the fridge
while lessons learned go down the drain
and keep leftovers in the fridge
while lessons learned go down the drain
I can't believe in everything
all the bad names gone
and the good ones were all wrong
and so I stayed up all night
slept in all day
this is my sound
thinking about tomorrow won't change how I feel today
Never let your mark erase
'cause broken legs can be replaced
two steps to the finish line
three sips till I finish mine
a straw will always suck it out
close your eyes and use your mouth
and tell me about your song
And so I stayed up all night
slept in all day
this is my sound
thinking about tomorrow won't change how I feel today
Lessons Learned by Matt & Kim
There's a long, long road to reach your house.
And I arrived just before, just before the sunset.
And I arrived just before, just before the sunset.
And you said, and you said welcome with your eyes.
And we said, and we said nothing at all.
Oh, we have been to many churches but we never believed.
We have been to many churches but we never believed.
If you go too far there's a song you'll hear.
If we get too close whisper in my ear.
Speak the word, say it.
Bewilder, say it.
Hummingbird, say it.
Be my debt.
Oh, we have been to many churches but we never believed.
We have been to many churches but we never believed.
One of my favorite songs: Hummingbird by Cocoon
You have got to listen to it!
Let me know if you know where ?? are from.
