I killed for love

Some dreamy music for a nice, sunny morning. I've liked Chromatics ever since the songs Night Drive and I Want Your Love, but this time around I like them even more. Their new song Kill For Love gives me a The Jesus and Mary Chain/Lost in Translation-vibe, which indeed can only mean good things.

Kill For Love / Chromatics

Hologram Girl / Miniature Tigers

Boreal / Hundrer Waters

What's now gone somehow exists

1. Bericht / Cant
2. Oh, red! There you are again. How I would like to wear this little ensemble, if it weren't so hot in Athens right now.
3. Her hair length and hair color. And of course the not to be missed two words on her tee!

Red shoes

There is something remarkable about red shoes. I guess it's the feeling they give, how you can just get a little happier by looking down at your feet when wearing a pair. I love my red heels, and now that it's full spring and everything is bright and wonderful I simply have to start wearing them more often. They deserve a good dress though, or maybe some tailored pants (if I could ever find a pair I truly liked).

One word and another

I thought I'd share some of the lyrics from various songs which I like. Sometimes I don't want to listen to lyrics at all, all those words being sung, no I just want the instruments, the melody, the beats. Other times the lyrics, those words put after one another combined with just the right tones brings so much meaning to the song, to me, to my life I guess. Here are some of those words I'm loving at the moment. For some of the songs, it's just a couple of sentences, for others it's heaps more.

Wash. / Bon Iver

I I'm growing like the quickening hues

I I'm telling darkness from lines on you

Holocene / Bon Iver

Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree

Saying nothing that's enough for me

Open / Rhye

I'm a fool for that shake in your thumb

I'm a fool for that sound in your songs*

I'm a fool for your belly

I'm a fool for your love

You Know What I Mean / Cults

Cause I am afraid of the light 

Yeah, you know what I mean

And I can't sleep alone at night

Yeah, you know what I mean
I Know Places / Lykke Li
Don't ask me when but ask me why
Don't ask me how but ask me where
There is a road, there is a way
There is a place, there is a place

Hanging High / Lykke Li
Oh, thunder in my heart
These razors cutting sharp
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar

So soft, so suddenly
So that I cannot breathe
I'm drawn into a circle painted black

Measurements / James Blake
Please fall down
Testing sounds
For the deaf and the forest cold

Trees in clouds
Testing doubts
Trying hard not to be too bold

Silver Stallion / Cat Power
I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs

A Love Story / Thomas Dybdahl

Doesn't it feel good

To know that you've been loved

And doesn't it make you

Laugh when you think of

The day when we all got lost on the old man's farm

Just trying to get across

It was only then I knew what love was

You and I / Wilco featuring Feist

You and I, we might me strangers

However close we get sometimes

It's like we've never met

You Are The Blood / Sufjan Stevens

You are the blood flowing through my fingers

All through the soil and up in those trees

You are electricity and you're light

You are sound itself and you are flight

You are the blood flowing through my fingers

All through the soil and up in those trees

You are the bood flowing through my fingers

You are the blood that I may see you

That I may see you

You are the blood in me

You are the earth on which I travel

On which I travel

You are the earth under my feet

That I may travel

That I may travel with you

You are the earth on which I write the circumstances

You say what you want from me

You are the solitude that goes against me

That goes against me

You are the quiet in which I dream

In which I sleep, in which I wander

*I couldn't find the exact lyrics to this song, but by listening those are the words I heard

Some sort of crime

The Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole classic How To Steal a Million is such an enjoyable film. Not only are they both wonderful in it, they also share many great screen kisses. This is that sort of film where the two main characters have such amazing chemistry and where you sit and smile through out the whole thing, simply because it's such a delightful film. Having said that, I thought I'd share some of the aforementioned screen kisses. And isn't Peter O'Toole just so handsome?

Deep Blue Sea

I've been listening to Grizzly Bear for the longest time. Foreground is one my favorites, but their song Deep Blue Sea (for the compilation Dark Was The Night) has just been added to the list. It's beautiful, calm and serene, just as the sea is sometimes. Also, check out a cover version of the song, done by a fairly young-looking guy named Jack Campbell. It's good!

Answering a question with a question

I love the simple details of Audrey Hepburn's hairdo from Paris When It Sizzles. This still reminds of how immaculate Audrey is in all her films. Her eloquence and her elegance, her smile and her way of being. I just love how a film with her is never boring simply due to the magic she bring to it.
