It's now or never..

 Today i'm listening to "What Tomorrow Brings" by Badly Drawn Boy

 Considering how busy i've actually been for the last two weeks, i've still had so much time to think But er -- when i say think, i mean more "thinking through"..

 You get to a stage in your life, when yeah, everything's going so well, and you're happy, but it's like, there's always something at the back of your mind. Yes, you're happy, but you're alone. Yes you're enjoying life, but will it last?

 Negative perspective or what? I can't understand how i can't just be happy. I love everything in life, and i want to do it all. In my head i'm constantly thinking about all the things i could do, and can do. I just want to do it all, like now..

 This is where todays song comes in, because it's an old cliche of "tomorrow is a new day" but it's true (obviously), you wake up in a different mood, you do something different (unless you're some recluse too afraid to step out your front door..) but most importantly, you're perspective can change. Overnight. So how you felt the day before can pretty much be yesterdays news. Live for tomorrow. Live for what will come. The only reason i'm saying this, is because, this (and music of course) is THE single thing keeping me going.

Now or never to do everything you wanna do guys..

Today i'm listening to "Love is Noise" by The Verve

It's a lot of things, but if there's one thing i'm sure of, love is pain.

13/3/12

Today i'm listening to "We Will Not Be Lovers" by The Waterboys

Words are your weapon, lies are your defence.

7/3/12

Today i'm listening to "I Do" by Jude

This is just the sweetest song. And the lyrics are so lovely..
Old friendships fade away, love falls apart But you've not spent a single day outside my heart And, there's just one more dream that I have left for you I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says "I do"

He seems to make it sound so easy to move on and still be happy for an ex or a former friend. It should be like this, but bitterness and jealousy always manages to make an appearance..

Today i'm listening to "The Sun and Moon" by Cursive

The sun and moon are a pretty long way away from each other, creating a distance from things, and people, just reflects the hurt. It doesn't heal..

The melody is at the hands of the pianist.

My love of piano has pretty much taken over the last couple of weeks. And this piece just caputures so much beauty from the piano itself. Ludovico Einaudi is my piano hero.. not kidding, i do actually have one of those..

It's amazing, no matter how much rock or punk i listen to (which is a lot!) piano always will be my first love when it comes to music. It's so stripped down and simple, exposing every part of you, but also holding some sort of mystery, because piano music has such a mysterious, if not, slightly distant sound.
Because i play myself, i always imagine myself at the piano hearing this song, which gives me some kind of weird connection.
 Yet again, i am stunned at the ongoing mysterious ways of music..

27/2/12, just another day

Hey guys, today i'm listening to "I'm Set Free" by Velvet Underground

I've been set free and I've been bound , to the memories of yesterday's clouds
I've been set free and I've been bound, and now I'm set free
I'm set free , I'm set free to find a new illusion..

 Lou reed once said
"I've concentrated on music pretty much to the exclusion of other things" which got me thinking, maybe i'm just the same. I mean, everything in life for me comes second to music. I'm beginning to wonder if this is actually healthy..

if only the world, really could, live as one..

Today i'm listening to "Imagine" by John Lennon
Eva Cassidy did a great, rather chilling cover of this song.

You may say i'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

To all those desperately seeking love..

..please, don't seek for it.

 If there's one thing i've learnt over the past couple of months, it's this..
If you have any sort of doubt over a person, and not sure whether you can fully trust them. Please, go with your instinct, and quit while you're ahead.
 It's amazing how much we all underestimate our own judgement.

 So, for every failed relationship you guys out there have. Remember that musics always going to be there to catch your fall. So will chocolate and ice cream...

This week i've been listening to Thirteen Senses. Specifically, their album "The Invitation".
Now, this album is definately one to seek out if it isn't already sitting on your cd shelf.. Not only are the lyrics so involved, each individual song is like a melodic loveliness to sink into. My advice is to buy this album, stick it on your stereo, your laptop or your phone (or whatever it is you guys use to listen to music), and let yourself be carried away by these amazing songs.

Silence is golden

So, today, possibly for the first time in, well...definately a long time. I actually enjoyed a day of silence. I haven't even gone anywhere near my albums, my records, my record player, or any other music playing device for that matter.

 It's amazing how much you can actually clear your mind in silence. I've never felt so peaceful. All this will change tomorrow morning of course when i wake up to the sound of Cheap Trick blasting out my stereo (Busted album, of course). But for all the days i spend dedicating myself to the sound of music, i guess you could say, it's truly blissful to just have one day, of silence.
 I highly recommend it.

Why cry?

Today i'm listening to "Why Cry" by The Panic Channel

If only Perry Farrell existed in this band..
Anyway, there's a lyric in this song that is so relative right now, it's something i'd probably say
"I learned my lesson, i won't give my heart out, without suspecting"..

I so wish that lyrics could just, change everything.

It's true, you get what you give..

Today i'm listening to "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals

One of my favourite lyrics is the open to this song,
Wake up kids, we've got the dreamers disease.

I guess this is mainly because i'm a bit of a dreamer. And by that i mean, i'm always creating a perfect world inside my head, yeah it sounds a bit strange. You find yourself asking, how could you imagine a perfect world when the one you live in is anything but? It's quite simple really, the perfect world i create is normally just imagining myself happy.

just trying to find my way..

Today i'm listening to "Find My Way" by Lifehouse

Someday all this figuring out life is going to come to something, and someday, i will be where i want to be.

Sometimes..

Today i'm listening to "Sometimes" by James

Sometimes when i look deep in your eyes, i swear i can see your soul..

Inside Of Love

Today i'm listening to "Inside of Love" by Nada Surf

There's a line in this song that goes "I wanna know what it's like, on the inside of love"
Not only did it make me think about how most of the music i've been listening to recently has had some strong reference to either finding love, or losing love (yes, that is most songs), it also made me feel quite lonely. I found myself saying it to myself, as if i've never found it and want to know what it would be like. I mean, how many of us have actually been in love, for real? Or do we just say we are because we think that's how we should feel, and that's what we should say? I think i've done that too many times now..

Anyway, damn it, vinyl keeps skipping.
