It's been a while

Yeah, yeah, I know. But you should know I just had a kid and left town for a while as well.. Let's call this a summer hiatus and look forward to new killer songs and photos later on..

Hang in there. I will be back. Subscribe to the feed and you'll be the first to know..

And if you desperately need to see something, head over to havregryning.blogspot.com where I am posting photos from my phone on a more regular basis..

Take care
Take off

Oh, The divorces!

She's great. She's back. She's Tracey Thorn. Go listen to her album here.

And on an informative note Spotify have recently removed some of my favorite albums so some past links may not work anymore.. Boo and hiss. It is an annoyance that agreements with record labels and artists seem to be subject to random changes without information.

>:-(

For this reason I feel I should tell you that there are alternatives to Spotify, albeit being on more shaky legal ground and I have no idea if the artists get anything for being listened to. Check out grooveshark at www.grooveshark.com. It's free and it's commercial free. I just figured out how to share tracks from GS so I'll be starting to do that from now on when Spotify fails..

Take care

Peace on earth

P O W

And we can dance like open windows in the evening air

And we can dance like open windows in the evening air

for something

I'm almost done
and the fine line between
this and some dream
is that I sold my soul
for something
i could never give

People climbed into the night like cool wells

People climbed into the night like cool wells
Shiny bottles in their hands
Drinking their new selves
They say it's their true selves

i hate this place i hate this crowd

it's cold in here
the music is too loud
i hate this place
i hate this crowd

All clothed in black

What once was clothed in white
Bears the bruise of a burden

If you just hold in your breath

If you just hold in your breath
'Til you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
'Til you've thought it through
You fool

Shooting up the ladder

You're pink you're young you'e middle-class
they say it doesn't matter
fifteen blue shirts and womanly hands
you're shooting up the ladder

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet-talk
newspaper word cutouts

They made it past the enemy lines

They started out beneath the knowledge tree.
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences,
And, marching along the railroad tracks,
They smile real wide for the camera lenses.
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines.

There'll be no comprimising

Cold, no heat on the horizon
guess I'm cold
there'll be no comprimising
cold
cool
cold
stone cold


(This is an old favourite of mine from the great Tears for Fears... enjoy)

They scour the earth for the things they saw in your tiny little hands

They raise you up like a God onto your tiny little stand
Until their faith, once like a rock, is ground up turning into sand
They scour the earth for the things they saw in your tiny little hands
You see, they're old enough to dream but just too young to understand
Gabriella, was this all part of your plan?

Stay out super late tonight

Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire

With the wild wolves around you

With the wild wolves around you

A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel

And I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
Coffee laced, intoxicating on her lips

A tree born crooked will never grow straight

A tree born crooked
Will never grow straight
She sunk like a hammer into the lake

A long lost letter
and an old leaky boat
Promises I never meant To keep

Elements - A fine frenzy

Oh the elements I do not fear
But I fall apart when you appear
Cos you are the greatest
The greatest disaster

the things we did i can´t forget

Your picture is still on my wall
The colors are bright
bright as ever
the things we did i can´t forget

your boldness stands alone among the wreck

your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck

as you see the snow kiss the curb

You're up on the bar and you're shaking
With every grimy word
Who will you love
What's love when you've hurt
You wonder as you see the snow kiss the curb

One little leak becomes a lake

The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb
Fifty feet of concrete underground
One little leak becomes a lake
Says the tiny voice in my earpiece

Caught in a rat's nest

Clicks on the phone
I cannot help you
Caught by your work
Caught in a rat's nest
Eat our young
Chew through wires

Still shudder when I see that dorsal fin

is it cold outside
enough to chill
daisies on the window sill

What's lost can never be broken

Everything has it's price
Everything has it's place
What's more romantic than dying in the moonlight?

Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow

are you ever going to make them pay

i count the nights
i count the days
you try to show that nothing stays
but im still hanging around

When you think like a hermit you forget what you know

We all know what we know, it's a hard swath to mow
When you think like a hermit you forget what you know

anyone would let it go

anyone would let it go
anyone would let it go

I don't want to go home

drifting away
to where the angels would play like you'd almost forgotten
and then on with the next breath so impossibly new
like the curve of your waist all warm and ceramic and smooth

i dont want to go home
i want to come home
