Alessia Cara - Outlaws **This is the 2nd of 5 songs on her EP that I’ve blogged. But every single song is a winner**
I hope you find a love like this. A love that makes you feel like a wanderstruck child. You’d follow each other to the ends of the world. Fearless, hopelessly in love, undyingly committed partners in crime.
And the memories I never can escape

Death Cab For Cutie / Love Song (The Cure)
“ I’ve been crying out
How bad can a good time be
Shooting off my mouth
That’s another great thing about me
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
There’s no risky thing for a man who’s determined to fall
You’re the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened to a boy
You’re the best thing about me
I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You’re the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You’re the best thing about me”
U2, “You’re the Best Thing About Me”
A veces tengo la necesidad de sentarme a rimar, para exteriorizar todo lo que siento.
“La cobardía de ir a buscarte,
la valentía de aún esperarte.
Mi ángel salvador,
mi demonio destructor.”

every night, i think back
to what we had and where it went wrong
all my friends said, “he’ll hurt you”
guess i really should’ve known it all along
i wonder if i’ll see you someday,
flashback to when we first met in your lonely little town
i’ll smile tightly and say “you look good”
and i’ll get deja vu when you say, “you too”
god, i really should’ve known right from the start,
that someday you’d shatter my heart
and the only thing that break really did was break us apart
and the girl you love now, was she worth it?
are you happy with the life you chose?
maybe you hate me now, maybe you blame me for what happened,
but darling,
our shadows, they know what they know
-can you blame me for running? c.r.
It’s a long story, but way back in 2016 I went to Toronto Comic Con with my buddy Justin to shoot some footage for a music video.
“Geeks in Love” was one of the singles off my geek music record “Borken Telephone” and I was lucky enough to get The Doubleclicks to join me for the track! I wanted to do this song justice!
The footage was great, but life got busy. We shot 3 other music videos in a single day the same week, but I just couldn’t find the time or energy to figure out how to edit my very silly and spur-of-the-moment video ideas into a proper video.
So I moved the footage onto a hard drive, and after 4 international moves in 5 years, I lost track of it entirely.
Until last week.
I recently moved (again) and found the hard drive (and the footage) while I was unpacking.
Watching the raw capture made me realize how much I MISS conventions. This pandemic has been hard. Really hard. I miss my friends. I miss the geek community. I miss the low murmur of 10,000 nerds in a big room.
So I decided to finally edit the footage together into a video. It’s cut together rough, and it’s corny as heck, and the pandemic has left me a little more jaded and cynical than the very earnest guy who appeared in this video. But I needed a little corny. I needed to remember there will be good things to go back to. Eventually, when it’s safe.
And I needed to remember the amazing community of people we’re sacrificing to protect until it’s safe to gather again.
So here’s me saying I love you all, I miss you, and I’ll see you on the other side of this!

We had always been hot-blooded, but cool to the touch
protecting each other from the heat that would surely have been us
the sweat, the pulse of our bodies, intertwined and trembling
the vulnerability that comes with knowing each other’s pleasure.
For too long we tried desperately
to mitigate the damage,
you and I (a forest fire) encroaching on a tiny village of restraint.
Slow burning (at first), but burning steadily still,
and moving inward
until we had burned that village down and began dancing
in the flames.
Your body,
no longer cool to the touch, but red hot and wide open.
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn’t wonder why you’re here
They don’t deserve you"
Billie Eilish, Everything I wanted.
The promises broken
The words stayed unspoken
I love folk polyphonic singing! The Greek chorus “Chóres” singing “Σαρανταπέντε Λεμονιές” (Forty five lemon trees)
This is google translate, so it’s not a GREAT translation, but the lyrics to this song are BEAUTIFUL:
Forty-five lemons, braman aman, forty-five lemons planted
in the sand, planted in the sand, lemons loaded.They make the leaves green, braman aman,
they make the leaves green and the lemons fluffy,
and the lemons fluffy, my little black-eyed.And whoever cuts them is cut, braman aman,
and whoever cuts them is cut and whoever eats them dies
and whoever eats them dies, my little caressed.Daughter I will cut and let me cut, braman aman,
daughter I will cut and let me cut, I will eat and die, I
will eat and die, in your hands up
Lyrics for the song Forty Lemons by Kostas Roukounas
walking home in the rain is hell, according to johnny. especially because he’s walking home in the rain alone.
johnnyalways hauls his giant umbrella around on the driest days of the years and always misplaces it when the sky decides to flood the neighborhood. he hates the rain, especially because of the long trek home from university.
that is, until johnny starts walking home with you.
nowadays,johnny gets to take refuge under your umbrella. it’s too small to fit the both of you, but one soaked sleeve is better than an unexpected shower with clothes on he thinks.
nowadays,johnny starts to like the rain. he starts to like the tight fit and the way you unconsciously move closer to him to avoid getting wet. johnny likes the brush of your shoulder against his chest and the way he could hear your breath because you’re so close to him.
johnny hates the rain, but today, he likes it a little more.
When James Arthur said “We danced the night away.”
And when 5sos said “Dance around the living room, lose me in the sight of you.”
And Taylor Swift said “We’re dancing ‘round the kitchen in the refrigerator light.”
And Ed Sheeran said “Dancing in the dark, with you between my arms.”
And Harry Styles said “Kiss in the kitchen like it’s a dance floor.”
And when Claire said “Dance with me in my backyard, boy.”
And Niall Horan said “If the whole world was watching, I’d still dance with you.”
And Louis Tomlinson straight up said “You’re a nightmare, on the dance floor.”
I’d like what they’re having.
In Trutina
Written by an anonymous 13th century poet, composed by Carl Orff as part of his song cycle Carmina Burana
I mentioned the other day that I think this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard but I didn’t share the audio. Here is is, all 1:56 minutes of it.
Lyrics
In trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia.
Sed eligo quod video,
collum iugo prebeo:
ad iugum tamen suave transeo.
Trans.
In the wavering balance of my feelings
Set against each other
Lascivious love and modesty
But I choose what I see
And submit my neck to the yoke;
I yield to the sweet yoke.
When you’re drunk
you just understand everything
MADNESS which I LOVE.
Hey brown eyes it’s so nice to meet you
finally I’ve waited to see that lovely face up close for so long now.
Hemā Jr. - ‘Hey Brown Eyes’
