Control+ Alt+ Listen

Some of the more recent alternative tracks that are lingering in my music radar these days:

Animals- Neon Trees

She's a genius- Jet

 What's with that vid btw?!

Little lion man- Mumford & Sons

On being yourself

Liked this ever since I heard it on Step Up 3D. Although it sounds way more high pitched listening to it now (can anyone say oww?), the lyrics are rather nice. 

Tears don't mean you're losing
Everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are

Lizz Wright

Just discovered this amazing singer thanks to an episode of Bones (sometimes I'm more thankful for the music than the actual entertainment value of the drama it's featured in). 

Soulful voice, haunting lyrics- there's also something easing about her voice and music. Like a powerful but gentle breeze. Yeah, I love oxymorons :-)

When I fall

I want to be wild and bold enough to run with you , my baby
I want to skip time lay the hours aside and stay with you , my baby

But oh if I look down now , will I fall
And what if the water's cold , when I fall

I want to be still and quietly say , I'll lay with you my baby
I wish I were brave and sure today to pray that it's you my baby

But oh if I look down now , tell me will I fall
And what if the water's cold , when I fall

Oh oh if I look down now , tell me will I fall
And what if the water's cold , when I fall

Oh oh if I look down now , tell me will I fall
And what if the water's cold , cold when I fall

When I fall , when I fall

Anchors and Clocks

Le sigh.

To freedom!

Today's a midweek holiday, and the perfect time for just putting life on pause and 'being'. So it's a good thing that this song played early morning. Made me nostalgic (remember Party of Five?!). Also made me sing along and dance :-)

Everybody wants to live like they wanna live, and everybody wants to love like they wanna love, and everybody wants to be closer to free

Here's to a year of getting there!

Sense making Nonsense

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

- On the Radio, Regina Spektor
