I’ll never know if I go to sleep
Things I have loved I am allowed to keep
I’ll never know if I go to sleep

Flowers – Regina Spektor
we could make our castles here and sweep them all away
i know that i am just a grain of sand
meeting water at the land
we could make our castles here
and sweep them all away
Great lake swimmers - I am still discovering this act, although it is by no means new. Flowing and simple acoustic mixed with electric and steel guitar. Reminds me of Red house painters. I have several other songs that I want to share, but you'll just have to wait until I find the right photo to go with them..
I miss you so much I've become light
It's okay
I'm all right
We'll meet again someday,
Somehow
Time, time's but a touch
I miss you so much
I've become light
Declan de Barra sings with an awesome voice, reminds at least me of Jeff Buckley in the combination of range and power with fragility and sensuality. Really nice singer and songwriter.
We make it up as we go along
How did it go so fast
you'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand
we held gold dust in our hands
Tori Amos - I've been listening to her for years and years. She was actually one of the few artists I collected releases from, back when there was a point to that. I must have 30 or so CD with here albums, bootlegs and singles. Here lyrics are not very dependable, in my opinion. Some albums - and more precisely some songs - are stellar, galactic, great great great. But not all. Some are weird, some songs too experimental, etc. But that's ok, so long as she still makes the type of nuggets that Gold Dust is..
You can't always know what they will uncover on the news
Beautiful secrets you guard them in your secret garden
You water and nurture them until they're bigger than life itself
Don't even know how I stumbled on Sarah Blasko, might have been a review in the morning paper, or it might just have been a random encounter on Spotify. Some of her songs have this nice dark tone to them and this is one of them.
Look what you have done
You're on your own
You said you fail to care
I love The Twilight Sad because I love the Scottish accent and I have a tendency to favour depressing musical flavours. I have no idea what the lyrics are about, but they don't paint a very happy picture.
Life of a selfless man
Out of all the flaws I've stumbled on,
It's the hardest one to focus on
Insanely pretty song by the preppy Bombay Bicycle Club. Can't say I'm all there as far as deciphering the lyrics is concerned but what the hey - when it's this well performed I don't need to get it.
Meadowlarks
I hold a cornucopia and a golden crown
For you to wear upon your fleecy down
It appears I haven't tagged any posts with Fleet Foxes which is a considerable oversight. Go listen to the song and you'll agree. They're a great little outfit of guys with a talent for vocal arrangements and a very retro sound. The lyrics hover around in little fragmented stories of country life and images of nature.
As you have noticed I have started to write comments on the posts lately. Don't know why, it just felt right to start qualifying my recommendations. Peace Out
Lay your weary head to rest
SLEEP TIGHT
LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST
TONIGHT
THE WOLF’S BEHIND THE GLASS
After a tip from my sister in-law Blaudzun of Holland has become a regular in the headphones. Here's one reason why.
Time will see us realign
To the edge
till we all get off
I will take you away with me
Once and for all
'Deftones - Diamond Eyes' is a rediscovery for me. I used to listen frantically to their debut album, more years ago than I care to remember. It fills me with joy to see they still produce such marvellous metal.
