Blogovision - My top-20 albums of the year.

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.01: Bjork - Vulnicura

Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he will come out of this
I smell declarations of solitude
Maybe he will come out of this
Vietnam vet comes after the war
Lands in my house
This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair

Lyrics from Lion Song by Bjork, from the album Vulnicura

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.02: Tame Impala - Currents

Once again, as it takes a hold
I am aware I'm not in control
You see, I have a conscience and it's never fooled
But it's prone to be overruled
You wanna know what I always think I'm bind by
You never accept defeat or let it slide
But I have no voice if I don't speak my mind
My weakness is the source of all my pride, I'll tell you why

Lyrics from Cause I'm A Man by Tame Impala, from the album Currents

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.03: Roisin Murphy - Hairless Toys

We were glass house girls
Full of joie de vivre and verve
Built a house of glass
Out of fragments from the blast
When it's all revealed
Must be seen to be believed
Little raincoat sister
Weren't allowed to dream
Made a new reality

Lyrics from House Of Glass by Roisin Murphy, from the album Hairless Toys

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.04: Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass

And our love was young
We could make the whole world will crumble
Although with one word
He could turn it all the way around

Lyrics from My Baby Don't Understand Me by Natalie Prass, from the album Natalie Prass 

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.05: Foals - What Went Down

Through lanes and stone rows
Black granite, wind blows
Fire lake and far flame
Go now but come again
Dark clouds gather 'round
Will I run or stand my ground?
Oh, when I come to climb
Show me the mountain so far behind
Yeah, it's farther away
Its shadow gets smaller day after day

Lyrics from Mountain At The Gates by Foals, from the album What Went Down

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.06: John Grant - Grey Tickles, Black Pressure

The paranoia, the uncertainty
The stupid knowing way they're grinning when they look at me
They say it's me, how do they know
My mind and body have betrayed me and it shows
My brain reboots each time the sun begins to shine
And if I didn't know better then I'd swear to you that it's not mine
I can't control my face, I can't avoid that furrowed brow
Would've thought they'd send someone right over to show me how

Lyrics from Geraldine by John Grant, from the album Grey Tickles, Black Pressure

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.07: Jamie Woon - Making Time

Never been so inside
When I give into you
Never been so existent
You can't know unless you feel it,
come back bodies aching from the want and the waiting
I kept this pain when you're leaving
Never felt this before

Lyrics from Sharpness by Jamie Woon, from the album Making Time

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.08: Jamie XX - In Colour

I go to those places
Where we used to go
They seem so quiet now
I'm here, all alone
You go to new places
With I don't know who
And I don't know how
To follow you

Lyrics from Loud Places by Jamie XX, from the album In Colour

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.09: Scott Matthew - This Here Defeat

Does anyone wanna leave this place, c'mon
go underground without a sound, c'mon
let skylines change
the headlines blame
with blood it stains
don't we feel the same?
can anyone piece my friends back together
if you stitch your head to my shoulder
you can cry upon it.

Lyrics from Skyline by Scott Matthew, from the album This Here Defeat

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.10: Lonelady - Hinterland

Put a record on make a connection
When I walk our fingers touch
Feel you here out in the hallows
Calling light give her too much
You can't stop this from falling apart

Lyrics from Bunkerpop by Lonelady, from the album Hinterland

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.11: Lianne La Havas - Blood

My head's held high when we walk down the line, honey
Arm-in-arm through the clear night sky
Let's be at peace, we'll fly
Our hearts collide
Can't escape the magnetic side

Lyrics by Unstoppable by Lianne La Havas, from the album Blood

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.12: Hot Chip - Why Make Sense?

We take a chance

A lifelong tribulation

Break away from human nature

I forget myself, forget my limitations

Be with me, be my conversation

Lyrics from Started Right by Hot Chip, from the album Why Make Sense?

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.13: Ibeyi - Ibeyi

Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those all means are so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them

Lyrics from River by Ibeyi, from the album Ibeyi

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.14: Majical Cloudz - Are You Alone?

There's one thing I'll do
If it ever goes wrong
I'll write you into my all of my songs
And if suddenly I die
I hope they will say
That he was obsessed and it was okay

Lyrics from Downtown by Majical Cloudz, from the album Are You Alone?

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.15: The Maccabees - Marks To Prove It

If you love them go and tell them
Tell them over and over and over again
Heaven forbid opportunity’s missed
And if it’s over, let it be over
‘Cos when time and again
You have tried it again
And you've worn it right down to the bone

Lyrics from Something Like Happiness by The Maccabees, from the album Marks To Prove It

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.16: Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss

A hunger never satisfied
I can’t keep you off my mind
Dancing, moving, passing time
Lost worlds and endless nights

Lyrics from Color Of Blood by Chelsea Wolfe from the album Abyss

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.17: Jaakko Eino Kalevi - Jaakko Eino Kalevi

No one cares about you and your things
No one cares about you
You can go your own way
You can call it unknown
You can’t see or perceive
No use even try
Anything you want you can have
Anything you want
I wanna go tonight to the deeper shadows

Lyrics from Deeper Shadows by Jaakko Eino Kalevi from the album Jaakko Eino Kalevi

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.18: Σtella - Σtella

How does it feel when you go

Looking around you 

Walking like you know 

Holding a wet cigarette

Buddy, you're asking for trouble I bet

Lyrics from Wet Cigarette by Σtella, from the album Σtella

Blogovision/My top-20 albums of the year - no.19: Tuxedo - Tuxedo

Cause I have never met a girl
Quite like you in the whole wide world
Oooh because
You're number one, second to none

Went to bed and woke up inside another man's head
Nobody noticed
