Today i'm listening to "Hallelujah" By Jeff Buckley
This is by far the best version of this song, Jeff Buckley has the amazing ability of putting real emotion into his songs. This song makes me fall in love with music all over again everytime i hear it..

Today i'm listening to "That's all changed forever" by Embrace. They are by far, my favourite band.
I cant even begin to explain how much has changed for me in that last year. But then that's what's gonna happen in life, things are gonna change, things are gonna progress, or maybe even take a couple steps backwards. But either way, change is good. Sometimes..
I couldnt help but think today on how much i used to depend on music. It used to be my only way of getting through the day, and recently ive felt myself drift away from it in that sense. I don't wanna stop believing in it, i don't wanna stop believing in music, in life, and everything that's good or important. I'm gonna find myself in music again.

This is Paul Westerberg performing my personal favourite Replacements' song "Here Comes a Regular"
This song is quite chilling in the sense that it's so god damn incredible and all it is is an acoustic guitar and a vocal.
And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular.
I also love the lyrics for this song, this has to be one of my favourite songs ever created.
All credit to the person who filmed this, which was not me.

My lack of posts has been dreadful this week, i've just been so busy!
Yes, me, busy. Never thought those words would fit in a sentence together..
From work, to college, to travelling all the way to edinburgh in search of more records, this week has been pretty hectic..
Today i'm listening to "Sour Girl" by Stone Temple Pilots
the lyrics in this are really quiet smart if you ask me..
I was a superman but looks are decieving, the rollercoaster ride's a lonely one, i'd pay a ransom note to stop it from steaming.
I'll leave you to make your own interpretation of that..

Today i'm listening to "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Ros
This song is played everywhere, always on inspirational videos, because it is incredibly inspirational in sound. It's one of them songs that you listen to and it'll instantly take an effect on you, even from the very first note.
Incredible huh? That's music for you..

Today i'm listening to "Riot Act" by Elvis Costello
Now they say i don't care for the colour that it paints me, trying to be so bad is bad enough..

Today, it's The Cure again.
"A Night Like This" totally describes how i feel today.
There's something about the night, it's the mystery and the unknowing feeling of what tomorrow brings. It's the time we all figure out our lives, or how the day has gone, thinking over things that have or haven't been said, things we could change, and things we regret..
I want it to be perfect like before.

Today i'm listening to "Tuesdays gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Tuesdays gone with the wind, my baby's gone with the wind.
Sometimes thinking back to when something was good can be the hardest thoughts to have in your head. You miss it, you want it back, but you never realise that things can get good again. Maybe even better..

Today i'm listening to "Happiness" by The Weepies
Sometimes it's just a nice feeling when a song describes your mood, it's comforting to know there's someone else out there feeling the same way, good or bad.
You can't steal happiness.

Today, I'm listening to "Into The Fire" by Thirteen Senses
It's one thing to go "into the fire," but another to come out unburnt..

Today i'm listening to "Pyramid Song" by Radiohead
this is such a beautiful song, of which so much emotion can be heard through Yorke's voice.
I jumped in the river and what did I see? Black-eyed angels swam with me
All my past and futures, and we all went to heaven in a little row boat, there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt..
Death scares me, but i think it scares everyone. Maybe it's supposed to, maybe it's supposed to push you to do the things you're scared to do in life. Everyone says it, "you only live once" so maybe, just maybe, death really is there for a reason...

Broke up with my boyfriend today. Hard thing to do, but sometimes it has to be done. I think this applies to most things in life really, you gotta do what you gotta do. To make yourself happy. It's moments like this where i find myself thinking, well whats everyone gonna think? But really, i shouldnt look at it that way, cus it's for my own good, not theirs...
My song today is "To Wish Impossible Things" by The Cure
Remember how it used to be when the sun would fill up the sky, remember how we used to feel those days would never end. But now the sun shines cold and all the sky is grey, all i wish, is gone away...

There's always going to be something more powerful
A good book, a great song, an inspirational movie. What is it we look for out of all these things? Do we try to read between the lines of a story? Interepret the hell out of the lyrics in a song to try and relate? Or find emotion from watching a story unfold?
There's something in this world we're all after, we're all fighting for it.
It's the hope you feel when something good happens, it's the pain that wrenches through you when you cry, and it's the comfort you get from your own strength.
It's the feeling i get from hearing the feeling behind lyrics, witnessing someones passion, and when i put on that one song that makes me feel the world is a better place.

Today i'm listening to "She Don't Use Jelly" by The Flaming Lips.
The song is basically about the unusual qualities of a person.
Individuality is the key to life. When you find who are you, you've accomplished lifes hardest goal. I still find myself wondering if i know who i am... I guess we all will for the rest of their lives, cus no ones ever gonna get it...

No bonfire for me tonight.. i havent been to one in about three years! I guess my kinda night is me just sat in front of the fire watching tv, or experimenting with piano or guitar. Cliche i know, but c'mon, doesnt get much better right?
Today I'm listening to John Hiatt, "Have a little faith in me"
There's days, like today, where all i want is to have someone to have faith in me, to believe that what i'm doing is right, and i'm making the right decisions..

When it got difficult..
Love has to be the hardest thing in this life..
it's true that relationships are so hard, because the only thing harder is being alone..
The heart wants what it wants, and sometimes you gotta go for the thing you want most, right?
You're never gonna please everyone, as long as you yourself is happy, then i guess that's all that matters?
So, yeah, i'm stuck in a love triangle, and yeah, they're not fun. My head's a mess, and what i thought i wanted turns out to be what i dont want.
Spending my time searching for the answer in music...

Organising my thoughts...
Sometimes it isn't about whether you're liked, or disliked. Sometimes it's about fighting for your opinions, and your rights, regardless of consequences. I think i've only just figured this out. But what is the point of measuring yourself to what other people think? Or what they want from you? At the end of the day, these people aren't going to be in your life forever..
So many people say to me that something in their life sucks, they complain about it, and never do anything? Fight for what you want, this is your life afterall. If something sucks, do something about it. Cus no one else will.
My head really is a mess today, so i guess you could say this is me organising my thoughts, trying to convince myself of these words. Sometimes all you need is words to make your day. Like when someone sends you a really sweet text, and you read it over and over because it gives you that warm feeling and makes you smile. Words save lives. They can inspire, comfort, and give you strength.

Success?
What is really the point in it all? Life..
Is it success? Love? Happiness?
How do you measure your success, your love, or your happiness?
Happiness is a mood, it comes and it goes, you're not going to be happy forever.. but when you are it's great. To be in love is incredible, it's something you should keep hold of while you have it, even when it does get confusing, difficult, or too much.
Success? You could say success is measured by money, power, and/or happiness. But to me, success is more about who you are yourself. Successful people are the one's who put themselves out there, showing the world who they are and what they're about, and not backing down when life gets too tough, and working hard at every task thrown their way. Look at the worlds greatest musicians, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Buckley.. the list really is endless. But these guys weren't afraid, they did what they were good at and wowed the world with their talents. This, is success.
