Go get your own shit

go blame your daddy

just get far away from me

The life beneath now

How can I smile?

Tonight we’re gonna fake it, only for tonight

I'm no fortune teller 

Be my witness walking blind 

Talk me through this

For my love

Reaching deeper for the right line 

Down and feather

for my love

For my love 

I'm defector for my love 

Crown and sceptre

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

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 best albums of the decade, no.12: 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 2019, best albums of the decade, no.13: LCD Soundsystem - American Dream

Standing on the shore, facing east

I can't feel you

Standing on the shore, facing east

Your impermanence

You're taking water

Listing lazily out of view

I remember when we were friends

I remember calling you friend

Lyrics from How Do You Sleep? by LCD Soundsystem

from their album American Dream

Your money's like a weapon, a tool to get me

You think I'm like the other ones

A cage is like a weapon, a tool for me

You think I'm like the other ones

Blogovision 2018 no.19: MGMT - Little Dark Age

Imaginary bombs raining down from the clouds

So it seems the danger signs will never let the feelings die

When all the best and brightest have gone

Black saint, sinner lady

Playin' knockoff soul

A punk rock romantic

Slumped on the kitchen floor

Nuns in stress position

Smokin' Marlboros

Lolita is weeping

The bride is beautiful

Masseduction

Masseduction

I can't turn off what turns me on

I hold you like a weapon

Mass destruction

I don't turn off what turns me on

...Oh, what a bore to be so adored

Blogovision 2017, no.06: The National - Sleep Well Beast

I don't need you, I don't need you

Besides I barely ever see you anymore

And when I do it feels like you're only halfway there

Young mothers love me even ghosts of

Girlfriends call from Cleveland

They will meet me anytime and anywhere

The day I die, the day I die

Where will we be?

Lyrics from Day I Die by The National, from their album Sleep Well Beast

Blogovision 2017, no.08: Fever Ray - Plunge

Slow motion thunderstorm

Having the story unfold

In time to understand

I wanna hold her hand

Doing just what I'm told

Back to five years old

You're lost and gone gone gone

We waited far too long

Lyrics from Mama's Hand by Fever Ray, from her album Plunge

Blogovision 2017, no.13: Camille - OUÏ

Lentement je suis devenue grande 

Et je viens à toi dans un roulement de hanches 

À mon arrivée un animal étrange 

Dépose un collier de perles sur mes tempes (fille à papa fille à papa) 

Lyrics from Fille À Papa by Camille, from her album OUÏ

Blogovision 2017 - no.20: Σtella - Works For You

around my neck there’s a rope 

sometimes you pull it and I start to choke

who knows what it takes to be in your world 

so if you want, come collect...
