Blogovision 2019, no.02: FKA twigs - Magdalene

And I, just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try, but I get overwhelmed
When you're gone I have no one to tell
And I, just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had

Lyrics from Cellophane by FKA twigs, from her album Magdalene

Blogovision 2019, no.03: James Blake - Assume Form

And the world before I met you
I can't remember now, what was that like? 
Because you, you're so beautiful
There is no part of you that I dislike
Oh what would I do without you?

Lyrics from Barefoot In The Park by James Blake, from his album Assume Form

Blogovision 2019, no.04: Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising

Some people feel what some people don't
Some people watch until they explode
The meaning of life doesn't seem to shine like that screen

Put me in a movie and everyone will know me
You'll be the star you know you are
The movies I watched when I was a kid
The hopes and the dreams
Don't give credit to the real things
I love the movies

Lyrics from Movies by Weyes Blood, from her album Titanic Rising

Blogovision 2019, no.06: Vampire Weekend - Father Of The Bride

Baby I know hate
Is always waiting at the gate;
I just thought we'd locked the gate when we left in the morning.
And I was told that war
Is how we landed on these shores;
I just thought the drums of war'd be louder warnings.

Lyrics from This Life by Vampire Weekend, from the album Father Of The Bride

Back when you were far away
We would go on dates to watch the same movie
And you were imagining sitting next to me
Holding my hand for the whole thing

Blogovision 2019 best albums of the decade, no.08: The National - High Violet

And I won't follow you

Into the rabbit hole

I said I would, but then I saw your shivered bones

They didn't want me to

It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders

It's a terrible love and I'm walking in

It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders

It's a terrible love and I'm walking in

It takes an ocean not to break

Lyrics from Terrible Love by The National, from their album High Violet

Blogovision 2019, no.08: Orville Peck - Pony

Time goes by I wanna rise up

And I know why things change

And I know why I stay the same

Some say I should learn to cry

But I only learned how to fly

And I know everything must die

But nothing fades like the light

Lyrics from Nothing Fades Like The Light by Orville Peck, from his album Pony

Blogovision 2019, no.09: Lizzo - Cuz I Love You

Explicit as ever, vicious as ever

Christian and clever, diss it dismiss it this is just better

Vision is better

Making high art

But high art can't revive hearts

I'ma do this God talk

Don't need a pity party, my people pity your party

The party I'm a part of imparts partials of pardons

Can't pick apart any part of the pick don't want no part with it

I played a artist, now pardon, I brought my partners in

I think I know what we revealing

Life is over, easy

Everybody's shell cracked

I holdin my dignity never said that

We got bigger fish to fry, know when to scale back

Lyrics from Tempo by Lizzo, from her album Cuz I Love You

Blogovision 2019, no.11: Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell

So I moved to California‚ but it's just a state of mind
It  turns out everywhere you go‚ you take yourself‚ that's not a lie
Wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine
It's killing me slowly

Dream a little dream of me
Make  me into something sweet
Turn the radio on, dancing to a pop song
Fuck it, I love you

Lyrics from Fuck It, I Love You, by Lana Del Rey, from her album Norman Fucking Rockwell

Blogovision 2019, no.12: Sudan Archives - Athena

I fell down
And started
Back up then seal the feeling
I’m too unique to kneel
I washed away my fears
And trust in my own ears
My own regret revealed

There is a place that I call home
But it's not where I am welcome
And if I saw all the angels
Why is my presence so painful?

Lyrics from Confessions by Sudan Archives, from her album Athena

Blogovision 2019, no.13: Brittany Howard - Jamie

'Cause where I come from
Everybody frowns and walks around
With that ugly thing on their face
And where I come from
We work hard and grind and hustle all day
(Yes, we do)
There comes a time, there comes a time
At night, where we get to play
And we smile and laugh and jump and clap
And yell and holler and just feel great

Lyrics from Stay High by Brittany Howard, from her album Jamie

Blogovision 2019, no.14: Jamila Woods - Legacy! Legacy!

I like you better when you see me less
I like me better when I’m not so stressed
We could do it like Frida, we could build a bridge then
I could come see ya, just not where I live
Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared of lovin' ya
Multiply my sides, I need a lot of area
A savior is not what I'm seeking
I'm god enough and you be believing
In miracles in a city so cold
You're the holy book I can lay my hands on

Lyrics from Frida by Jamila Woods, from her album Legacy! Legacy!

Blogovision 2019, best albums of the decade, no.16: SOHN - Tremors

I died a week ago

There's nothing left

It's caught on video

The very last breath

In time an avalanche

Will cave in on mines

Covering all evidence

The very last time

All this fuss over nothing

Reinventing the wheel

All this searching for something that's not real

Lyrics from The Wheel by SOHN, from his album Tremors

Blogovision 2019, no.16: Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains

Friends are warmer than gold when you're old
And keeping them is harder than you might suppose
Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go
Some of them were once people I was happy to know

Lyrics from All My Happiness Is Gone by Purple Mountains from the album Purple Mountains

Blogovision 2019, no.17: Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow

Blogovision 2019, no.19: The National - I Am Easy To Find

Is it easy to keep so quiet?

Everybody loves a quiet child

Underwater, you're almost free

If you wanna be alone, come with me

Is it easy to live inside yourself?

All the little kids are high and hazy

Everybody's got nowhere to go

Everybody wants to be amazing

Lyrics from Rylan by The National, from their album I Am Easy To Find
