Jose Perez Leon by Los Tigres del Norte. Fucking tune.

Words when spoken out loud for the sake of performance are music. They have rhythm and pitch and timbre and volume. These are the properties of music and music has the ability to find us and move us and lift us up in ways that literal meaning can’t. Do you see?

So proud that Kayley and Lex are watching TWW.

Every time this song shuffles I want to run across a moor or something.

God Rest My Soul by Dawes

I will always always reblog. Listening to this right now.

Dreams aren’t what they used to be, some things sat by so carelessly.

Birdy’s cover of ‘Young Blood’ (originally by The Naked and Famous and amazing in its original form) shuffled after I finished rereading TFiOS in January and is now inextricably linked with that book to the point that in my head I’ve storyboarded the film trailer set to this song. And also to the point that when it just played in the coffee shop I’m working in I had to concentrate on my work so hard and try and push all the quotations from that beautiful book that swim to mind out of my mind so that I can continue to function and write about horrendous things (trauma, terrorism, despair) in a nice critical way.

I really love both versions of this song.

The State I Am In | Belle & Sebastian

—-

The priest in the booth had a photographic memory for all he had heard
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called “The State That I’m In”
And so I gave myself to God,
There was a pregnant pause before he said, “okay”.
Now I spend my days turning tables round in Marks and Spencer’s,
They don’t seem to mind.

I gave myself to sin,
I gave myself to providence,
And I’ve been there and back again,
The state that I am in.

Perpetually broken by these few minutes.

The most democratic song: every version I find really does inspire/hurt/inspire hurt equally.

I absolutely love her voice and this song. Immediately subscribed. She has under 150 views and 4 likes! Outrageously few.

90% of Jaymee Dee’s covers make me cry like a baby.
