How does this happen?

For twenty-nine years

I've been searching for you

Twenty-nine years

You, a most elusive truth

I've been piecing

For twenty-nine years

And so it begins

The base is an amalgamation of everything

Rules are not to be played by rebels

The story of never ending

Your introversion led you here

Intuition protected you along the away

Feelings allowed you to be well balanced

And perspective gave you foresight

Lyrics from Introvert by Little Simz

From her album Sometimes I'm An Introvert

Over you

The life beneath now

How can I smile?

Blogovision 2020, no.01: Moses Sumney - græ

 

We have no place that we can claim without contention

We are constructing a whole new edifice of boxes to put people in

To protect a space inside which you can exist

Very concerned about giving names (giving names)

Dissatisfaction seems like the natural byproduct of identification

I truly believe that people who define you control you

And the most significant thing that any person can do but especially black women and men

is to think about who gave them their definitions and rewrite those definitions for themselves

Lyrics from Boxes by Moses Sumney, from his album græ

Blogovision 2020, no.03: Ane Brun - After The Great Storm

 

my existence is screaming it’s a physical feeling

of missing out

on dance and light electricity in my hands

on circumstance

a scent-filled trance

I wanna take to the skies

this leaves me so heavy

I’m captured by gravity

and the weight of expectations genes and generations

calling my name

take hold of me

keep this energy steady

sometimes it is hard

to know what is fading

you measure all that you are the density of being

so you open all the gates walk on all the way

trusting the answers

will lie there waiting

take hold of me

keep this energy steady

Lyrics from Take Hold Of Me by Ane Brun, from her album After The Great Storm

Blogovision 2020, no.04: Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure?

 

If only I could let you go

If only I could be alone

I just wanna stay in the moonlight

This is our time, in the spotlight

If only I could let you go

If only I could be alone

I just wanna stay in the moonlight

This is our time, in the spotlight (Why?)

Lyrics from Spotlight by Jessie Ware, from her album What's Your Pleasure?

Blogovision 2020, 05: Róisín Murphy - Róisín Machine

 

Never had a broken heart

Am I incapable of love?

Never seen me fall apart

I must be incapable of love

Never had a broken heart

Yet I'm unavailable for love

And I should try and play my part

But I'm incapable

Lyrics from Incapable by Róisín Murphy, from her album Róisín Machine

Blogovision 2020, no.06: Pan Pan - Φαντασμαγορία Ένα

 

Το όνομα της θα μείνει για πάντα σ εκείνο το φως

Μέρες παγωνουν εδώ, γινονται  ή χρυσάφι ή ατμός  

Σπάει σε κομματια το Αγορι-Φαντασμα, σκοταδι, βυθος

Το όνομα της θα μείνει για πάντα σ εκείνο το φως

Έχω έξι λεξεις

Για κάθε μερα

Που δεν σε είχα

Και σε σκεφτόμουν 

"Μήνες σε θέλω

Μείνε σε θέλω"

Το όνομα της θα μείνει για πάντα σ εκείνο το φως

Μερες που φερνουν κρυφα το αρωμα της τυχαια στο μετρο

Πεσε στα γονατα Αγορι-φαντασμα μες στον συρμο

Το όνομα της θα μείνει για πάντα σ εκείνο το φως

Έχω έξι λεξεις

Για κάθε μερα

Που δεν σε είχα

Και σε σκεφτόμουν 

"Μήνες σε θέλω

Μείνε σε θέλω"

Και κάθε βράδυ

λέω το όνομα σου 

και κανω χωρο 

μηπως και ερθεις

"Μήνες σε θέλω

Μείνε σε θέλω"

Όμως δε θα ρθεις

κι ειναι η ζωη μου

να βρισκω καυλα

μεσα στον πονο

"Μήνες σε θέλω

Μείνε σε θέλω"

Αν ησουν διπλα

δεν θα παιζα νοτα

δεν θα γραφα στιχο

μα παλι φευγεις

"Μήνες σε θέλω

Μείνε σε θέλω"

Lyrics from Μείνε Σε Θέλω/Μήνες Σε Θέλω (Stay I Want You/Months I Want You) by Pan Pan

Take this time tonight for your Self to unwind

It’s time

Sure, life goes on

But I really didn't know

How life could move on

How today can unchain tomorrow

I held your last breath

In my chest

Lyrics from Last Breath by Ane Brun, from her album How Beauty Holds The Hand Of Sorrow

Blogovision 2020, no.10: The Boy - Αντιλόπη

 

Και όταν μετρήσουμε με πόσους φιληθήκαμε θα πούμε ενα αχ και θα πάρουμε το δρόμο για το κοντινότερο μπαρ. Σφίγγουμε τα δόντια μας απ’το μπάσο. Αγκάλιασε με σφιχτά για να μη σου φύγω. Θέλω να τελειώνω μόνη μου τελευταία. Θέλω απλά να βλέπω τα βίντεο. Θα μετρήσουμε μέχρι το τρια και θα πούμε ταυτόχρονα το αγαπημένο μας μέρος στη Γη. 1-2-3 Εδώ. Μαζί σου.

Lyrics from Το Αγαπημένο μας Μέρος στη Γη by The Boy, from his album Αντιλόπη.
