The fiery sun of my passions
evaporates the love lakes of my soul
Clouds my thoughts
and reigns you into existence

this week i’m completely adoring the Frames. seriously, amazing stuff people…
the song i like the best (so far) is “fake”
‘come on the guy’s a fake…
and if it’s just a game,
then what are we crying for?”
“song for someone” and “finally” are pretty sweet as well.
((glen hansford- the frames))
i’m also trying really hard to like alexi Murdoch, i mean, i don’t necessarily dislike him- his guitaring is really brilliant, but i dunno, there’s something about his voice. i think i’ll keep listening though, because it’s mellow and like said, the guitaring is very very nice.
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!!!
okay, so i’m a little excited about this band! i’m in love with their name so i really wanted to like their music, but it took me a long time to actually take a listen because i didn’t want to be disappointed…weird, i know…
anyways, i finally got some of their music and- me gusta! (phew!)
“Crooked teeth”
enjoy!
two songs that i can’t stop listening to this week…
1. rootless tree- damien rice- effing great, literally.
2.i radio heaven- over the rhine
” do you need me
over
you wanna come
over
this song is grinning
go on and undress it
it’s just the beginning
go on and possess it
you’re no longer a child now
don’t let them molest it
the wound is deep
i’m just trying to confess it
the truth is i bleed you
when these frequencies cut me
i’m a slut with a mission
a singular vision
i radio heaven
i get mixed signals
i move the antenna
i switch the channels”
i am also liking:
*bigger than my body- john mayer
*when in rome- nickel creek
Littlest Birds
The Be Good Tanyas
Well I feel like an old hobo,
I’m sad lonesome and blue
I was fair as the summer day
Now the summer days are through
You pass through places
And places pass through you
But you carry ‘em with you
On the souls of your travellin’ shoes
Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
Wake you up in the mornin’ so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin’ blues
I got the wanderin’ blues
And i’m gonna quit these ramblin’ ways one of
these days soon
And I’ll sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs…
Well it’s times like these
I feel so small and wild
Like the ramblin’ footsteps of a wanderin’ child
And I’m lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singin these blues with a warble and a trill
But I’m not too blue to fly
No I’m not too blue to fly cause
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs…
Well I love you so dearly
I love you so fearlessly
Wake you up in the mornin’ so early
Just to tell you I got the wanderin’ blues
I got the wanderin’ blues
And I don’t wanna leave you
I love you through and through
Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
I had the wanderin’ blues
And I sang those wanderin’ blues
And I’m gonna quit these ramblin’ ways
One of these days soon
And I’ll sing…
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs….
I don’t care if the sun don’t shine
I don’t care if nothin‘ is mine
I don’t care if I’m nervous with you
I’ll do my lovin’ in the wintertime
1. all i ever get for christmas is blue. (over the rhine) duh. why? I. amazing voice II. self pity at christmas- love it
2. northpole man. (over the rhine) how could you not love it?? listen to it!

4. i’m on a roll (over the rhine) takes you back
This week i’ll make it real easy for you:
1. pretty much anything from the weepies album ’say i am to you”… put ‘i’ve gotta have you’ and ‘nobody knows me at all’ on repeat
2. hem’s album “rabbit songs”… listen to ‘half acre’ while sitting on the beach watching stars… its pretty much heaven
