Blogovision 2021, no.09: Marissa Nadler - The Path Of The Clouds

 

I don’t think that place is there anymore 

With the ocean in view

Seasons changed the color

And the lemon queen it grew 

Taller and taller 

Over you

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, no.09: Ane Brun - How Beauty Holds The Hand Of Sorrow

 

Sure, life goes on

But I really didn't know

How life could move on

And I didn't understand

How beauty holds the hand of sorrow

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 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

River on fire and sun eclipsed

Why do you hoard?

In all the human errors there is something true

But do the angels say, do the angels say

"I shall love"?

Feel this incredible nurture, soak it in

See this possible future and be in it

Hold fort for love forever

We're just momentary vessels

We're just carrying

Lyrics from Future Forever by Björk, from her album Utopia

Blogovision 2017, no.11: Amanda Palmer and Edward Ka-Spel - I Can Spin A Rainbow

Now they’re all gone but you’ve stayed 

The door is unlatched, but you are not afraid 

There’s a nice patch of straw and a comfortable cage 

The door is unlatched, but you’re not afraid 

There’s a nice patch of straw and a comfortable cage 

How they crowned you 

Weighted and drowned you 

How they made you numb 

No bandage around you 

I’ve found and unbound you 

Now how to make you run, run, run, run, run…

Lyrics from The Clock At The Back Of The Cage by Amanda Palmer and Edward Ka-Spel, 

from their album I Can Spin A Rainbow

I fought my feelings and got in the way

Could've been easier like a decade of days

Projection, young marriage, lighting the stage

I wanted feelings, that got in my own way

Lyrics from Century by Feist, from the album Pleasure
