JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW // CAVALIER

https://soundcloud.com/jvmcmorrow/cavalier

speak until the dust
settles in the same specific place
light refused to go
drink it from a cast and iron plate
instead of cold milk
was offered unripe
instead of silence
considered craven

nothing made it seem
hidden where the aging soil was pure
pressed against the crease
mountains become fragrant at the source
how can you stand this
exotic angle
i read it somewhere
that they would lie still

i remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
i remember my first love
i remember my first love

unrelied i was called
missing teeth out of favour
nickel beach it was all
gathering by the sundial

i woke hard
i woke heavy
for the half way stop
five whole hours in
when i woke hard
i woke heavy with the live or parts 

i remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
i remember my first love
i remember my first love

i remember my first love

FKA TWIGS // WATER ME

new artist, trip-hop. don´t know much of this but it is just amazing.

KHUSHI // MAGPIE

Not much to find about KHUSHI. He's an up-and-coming singer songwriter and I'm almost sure that in the future we will hear more of him.

RHYE // THE FALL - LIVE

Maybe the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Check the whole album from Rhye 'Women', you won't regret it. 

Oooh my love, make love to me

One more time

Before you go away

Why can’t you stay?

Oooh, my love

Come home to me

Just for a while

I’ll leave this piece in you

Why can’t you stay, away?

Don’t run away

Don’t slip away my dear

Don’t run away

Don’t slip away my dear

Oooh my love

The sun is gone

Fell into the fall

But I don’t want it this way

Why can’t you stay, away?

Don’t run away

Don’t slip away my dear

Don’t run away

Don’t slip away my dear

There should be words

There should be words that explain the way

'Cause I’m tongue, tied and twisted

Mmm, where's those words

Throw it all away

FOMO

When I'm sitting in a bus I see everywhere telephones around me. Everybody is busy with texting their friends, scrolling through facebook looking what their 'friends' are up to, sending whatsapp messages and if you don't have friends you're playing a game on your phone. Nobody pays attention to eachother anymore. 
We're all so busy with our own things and getting sure we don't miss something more fun then what you planned to do tonight. We must and shall have the time of our lives, right now, no we can't miss a thing.

Fomo, also known as Fear Of Missing Out. The most occuring syndrome for us youngsters.
It´s almost an epidemic, I see it al around me. This got me really thinking, do I also pariticpate in this whole social thing?

Do I? In some sort I do participate in this. For example, when I'm planning to go out, I never say fully yes to somebodu who is asking me to go with them. I always answer with 'maybe', I have to look what I going to do but it seems fun... Am I waiting to see what is more fun to do? or is it just because I really can't decide because I'm a truely a doubter. Let I be honest I just admit that the bigger part of me does this because I want to see of there is something else to do. Just to neutralize things I've became aware of this and I'm trying to be more straight forward and just make a decision to go or not.

// ALL IN WHITE

The song all in white is for a long time included in my playlist, know the lyrics, know where the break falls, I know it all. Today I've seen the music video for the first time and let me tell you: there are no words, just WOW.
