Brutal Hearts - Bedouin Soundclash (feat. Coeur de Pirate)
Confession. When I first listened, I mean really listened to this song I actually dropped a few tears. They just slid out of my eyes. Don't know if I can recall the last time that happened for me with a song, or if it ever has. It might not entirely be the song's "fault", but I know it had a lot to do with it, so criticise it wisely, because both the voices and the lyrics are darn good in my opinion. It just feels like such an honest piece of music it makes me almost shiver.
I'm not sure if I've told you this, but I had a very long rock/metal-period in my youth, hehe, okay that made me sound incredibly old, but I am actually still in my youth. Let me refrase that, I had a very long rock/metal-period a few years back when all I wanted was to look a female version of Anthony Kiedis, the leadsinger of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Okay, so the band itself might not be too heavy metal, but his clothes were great. When I look at pictures now however, I suspect I might have been looking more at the very buff, and very tattooed arms when establishing that.
Anyways, my point being, that from that period of time I collected a large amount of different bands and songs that I still listen to today, but maybe not as frequently as back then. I do however still find new bands of similar types of music that I get attached to very easily as my ears have already had it's "adjustment period." Maybe it's true what some say, once a "rocker", always a rocker? What d'u reckon?
Rock & Roll Queen - The Subways
Now, to say this band is anything like what I used to listen to, would be very dumb. They're not at all as rough and dark neither melody, nor text-wise. What they do have is however voice, attitude, and the familiarity of garagey-electric guitars. Me likey.
Track recommended to me by a friend. Despite my lack of understanding, and despite my difficulties with appreciating the sound of the German language, I think this song did well in bettering up my image of it.
Just to show off the pretty little items I have gotten lately, the first tiny little vase is from my aunt and the second two objects are from a dear, but crazy, China of mine.
If you, as I did, feel a bit mystified by the third thing, in contrast to the second, quite self-explanatory bottle, I can inform you that the hunny-like jar contains lip balm applicable with the spoon-like thing. Like. Such things are derivable from Korea as it turns out, where C was hiding out for a few weeks this summer.
And one just to show how big these gifts actually are...
Just thought I'd share a track that I've been listening to a lot lately. It has been especially helpful in summoning some of my energy at 5-ish in the mornings these past few days when I've had to open up a coffee shop I've been working at. Did you read that by the way? At 5-ish!!! Anywhu, it's sort of strange for me to be listening to this one at that ungodly hour as I'm usually the subdued-morning tunes-type otherwise. I do however looove the escalation in it; njoy!
Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine
Ah, and just as a PS, my quiet (or perhaps non-existent) readers, if you ever feel like promoting a song or have a music blog you'd like me to see then feel free to tell me in the comments, and I'll be more than happy to check it out. I am, after all, a music maniac as you might've figured that out already.
And I'm talking any kind of music, I swear I'll give it a shot!
