Blogovision 2020, no.19: Echo Tides - Jokes Ate Themselves

 

Can your hear your girl

Crying and puking in the room next door

Do you think she will mind

To keep on carrying you child?

And then you wake up

It was all a dream and now i am gone

You re next to your girl

But you trying to reach your phone

Lyrics from Medieval by Echo Tides, from their album Jokes Ate Themselves

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

If I asked you now
Will you be my prince
Will you lay down your armour
And be with me forever
When you open me
All the power in me moves
How you want to see
All the depths of me real
When you open me
All the power in me moves
I feel real

Lyrics from Two Men In Love by The Irrepressibles, from their album Nude

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, best albums of the decade, no.10: Dead Can Dance - Anastasis

With every generation comes
Another memory lapse
See the demonstrations of
Failing to learn from our past
We live in the dreamtime
Nothing seems to last
Can you really plan a future
When you no longer have a past

Memories fall from the trees
Amnesia

Lyrics from Amnesia by Dead Can Dance, from their album Anastasis 

Blogovision 2019, no.10: Chrissie Hynde - Valve Bone Woe

I'm a fool to want you

To want a love that can't be true

A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you

Such a fool to hold you

To seek a kiss not mine alone

To share a kiss that Devil has known

Lyrics from I’m A Fool To Want You by Chrissie Hynde, from her album Valve Bone Woe

Blogovision 2019, best albums of the decade, no.11: John Grant - Pale Green Ghosts

But I am the greatest motherfucker that you're ever gonna meet

From the top of my head, down to the tips of the toes on my feet

So go ahead and love me while it's still a crime

And don't forget, you could be laughing sixty-five percent more of the time

You could be laughing sixty-five percent more of the time

Lyrics from GMF by John Grant, from his album Pale Green Ghosts

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
