"When you're a kid, they tell you it's all, 'Grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid.' And that's it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better."
--Doctor Who

I mostly post music, intersperced with things I like like quotes and Harry Potter and A:tLA and Legend of Korra.

Questions? Song requests? My inbox is always open.

O Leãozinho—Caetano Veloso




July, July!—The Decemberists

There is a road that meets the road 
That goes to my house 
And how the green grows there 
And we’ve got special boots 
To beat the path to my house 
And it’s careful and it’s careful when I’m there 

And I say your uncle was a crooked french canadian 
And he was gut-shot running gin 
And how his guts were all suspended in his fingers 
and how he held ‘em 
How he held ‘em held, ‘em in 

And the water rolls down the drain 
The water rolls down the drain 
O, what a lonely thing 
In a lonely drain 

July, July, July 
It never seemed so strange 

This is the story of the road that goes to my house 
And what ghosts there do remain 
And all the troughs that run the length and breadth of my house 
And the chickens how they rattle chicken chains 

And we’ll remember this when we are old and ancient 
Though the specifics might be vague 
And I’ll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta 
When in fact it was a nappy bluish grey 

And the water rolls down the drain 
The blood rolls down the drain 
O, what a lonely thing 
In a blood red drain 

July, July, July 
It never seemed so strange

Dreamer—Elizaveta

I believe in fairytales 
And serendipitous encounters
Catch a tiger by the tails
Make a wish
Drink from the fountain

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

I believe love will prevail
The path is clear for me to follow
Shooting stars will leave a trail
For me to fill with joy and sorrow

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Leave your fear of love behind
Let your dreaming be your guide
If you seek then you shall find.

The sun is setting in the west
It hovers like a big balloon
It follows me and beckons me
But I am staring at the moon

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Leave your fear of love behind
Let your dreaming be your guide
If you seek then you shall fi-i-i-i
I-i-i-i-i
I-i-i-i-i-i-nd

Turn the tide in from the fallen
Waiting to rise up again
I can feel it in blood
I hold the future in my hand (x5)

Leave your fear of love behind
Let your dreaming be your guide
If you seek then you shall find.

I believe in fairytales 
And serendipitous encounters

I believe in fairytales 
And serendipitous encounters

At Least It Was Here—The 88 (Community Theme)

Give me your hands
Show me the door
I cannot stand
To wait anymore
Somebody said
Be what you’ll be
We could be old and cold and dead on the sea

But I love you more than words can say
I can’t count the reasons I should stay

Give me some more
Time in a dream
Give me the hope to run out of steam
Somebody said it can be here
We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year

I can’t count the reasons I should stay
One by one they all just fade away

I’m tied to the wait and sees
I’m tired of that part of me
That makes up a perfect lie
To keep us between
But hours turn into days
So watch what you throw away
And be here to recognize
There’s another way

Give me some more
Time in a dream
Give me the hope to run out of steam
Somebody said it can be here
We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year

But I love you more than words can say
I can’t count the reasons I should stay
One by one they all just fade away
Oh I love you more than words can say




Merry Happy—Kate Nash

Watching me like you never watch no one
Don’t tell me that you didn’t try and check out my bum
Cause I know that you did
Cause your friend told me that you liked it

Gave me those pearls and I thought they were ugly
Though you try to tell me that you never loved me
I know that you did
‘Cause you said it and you wrote it down

Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn’t want to stick around

Sitting in restaurants
Thought we were so grown up
But I know now that we were not the people
That we turned out to be

Chatting on the phone
Can’t take back those hours
But I won’t regret
‘Cause you can grow flowers
From where dirt used to be

Yeah you make me merry make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn’t want to stick around

A Drop In The Ocean—Ron Pope

A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my heaven.

I don’t wanna waste the weekend,
If you don’t love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it’s time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It’s too late to cry, too broken to move on.

Still I can’t let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don’t see what you don’t need, from me.

Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my heaven.

Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting the regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I’ll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.

Still I can’t let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don’t see what you don’t need, from me.

Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my 

Heaven doesn’t seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn’t seem far away.
Heaven doesn’t seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn’t seem far away.

A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my heaven.
You are my heaven

Love Me Dead—Ludo

Love me cancerously, like a salt-sore soaked in the sea.
“High maintenance” means your a gluttonous queen,
narcissistic and mean.
Kill me romantically, fill my soul with vomit
then ask me for a piece of gum.
Bitter and dumb, you’re my sugarplum
you’re awful, I love you…

[Chorus]
She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
and when her edges soften, her body is my coffin.
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed…
must be the sign on my head, it says,
“Oh love me dead!” Love me dead

You’re a faith-healer on tv
You’re an office park without any trees
corporate and cold, gushing for gold-leave me alone.
You suck so passionately
You’re a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
finger-bangin’ my heart.
You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?
You’re hideous…and sexy!

[Repeat Chorus]

Must be the sign on my head, it says,
“Oh love me dead!” Love me dead! Wow! Uh!

Love me cancerously 
Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! 
How’s your new boy? Does he know about me?
You’ve got the mark of the beast.
You’re born of a jackal! You’re beautiful!

[Repeat Chorus]

Wha’ ‘bout this sign on my head
it says “Oh love me dead!”
Love me dead! Love me dead! Love me dead!
Oh…love me dead!




On My Own—Bluejuice

When it starts at the very moment it gets dark
I play the keys and hear the melody again 
Even though I know thats its over, even though I know that it’s done
I play the keys and hear the melody again 
On my own…

Now there’s a ghost of you in everything I do
I play that song and I can hear you sing along 
And even though I know thats it’s over, even though I know that it’s done
I play the song and I can hear you sing along
On my own…

I’m stepping up out of the darkness, sending out a life line 
Someone leave a light on for me.
I’m stepping out ready to discover it, sending out a life line
Is anybody out there for me?
And even though I know thats it’s over, even though I know that it’s done..




Skinny Love—Bon Iver

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order’s tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

In the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
I’m breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh




Il Y A—Vanessa Paradis


English Lyrics:

There’s a painting over there
With birds, a purpose
Struggling against the wind
There are edges over there
Distances, your allure/pace
When you’re walking straight ahead

There are some cracks over there
Some closed locks
As the kites flew
There’s the literature over there
The lack of momentum
The inertia, the movement

Sometimes we look at the things
As they are
Wondering why
Sometimes, we look at them
As they may be
Saying to ourselves, why not?

There’s
If we take the time
If we take the time
There’s the literature over there
The lack of momentum
The inertia, the movement

Sometimes we look at the things
As they are
Wondering why
Sometimes, we look at them
As they may be
Saying to ourselves, why not?

There are the mysteries,
The silence under the sea
Fighting against time
There are edges over there
Distances, your allure/pace
When you’re walking straight ahead

There’s the whispering
A sigh, an adventure
Just as tangled kites
There’s the literature over there
The lack of momentum
The inertia, the movement

Sometimes we look at the things
As they are
Wondering why
Sometimes, we look at them
As they may be
Saying to ourselves, why not?

Sometimes we look at the things
As they are
Wondering why
Sometimes, we look at them
As they may be

Saying to ourselves, why not? 




West Coast—Coconut Records

For a second there i thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you’re still around

I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

Standin all alone in a black coat

And if you shake her heart enough she will appear
Tonight i think i’ll be stayin here
And you never did like this town

Jump On My Shoulders—AWOLNATION

There’s a mad man looking at you
and he wants to take your soul. 
There’s a mad man with a mad plan
and he’s dancing at your door. Oh
What to do, oooh
what to do
when the walls are built to crumble. 
There’s a mad man with a mad plan
and he waits for us to stumble. 

Oooh, but our eyes are open
yeah, they’re really open
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
I say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next 
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders. 
You can jump on my shoulders.
We rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next 
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders. 
You can jump on my shoulders. 

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Everybody it’s ok if 
you’re mad at what I’m saying. 
Make peace, baby shake my hand cuz
I’m pretty sure I’m staying. Oh
what to do, ooooh
look at you, when the walls begin 
to crumble.
It’s a mad man with a mad plan
and he waits for us to stumble. 

Oooh, but our eyes are open
yeah, they’re really open
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
I say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next 
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders. 
You can jump on my shoulders.
We rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next 
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders. 
You can jump on my shoulders. 

I’ll say the devil’s lost control

Live in the water
I’m scared of the city
Stay in the water
I’m scared of the city
Live in the water
I’m scared of the city. 

I’m scared of the city
live in the water
I’m scared of the city
I’ll pray for you

I say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next 
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders. 
You can jump on my shoulders.
We rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next 
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders. 
You can jump on my shoulders. 

Seriously…It’s not supposed to be easy…
that’s why it feels so fucking good. 
Jump on my shoulders, yeah.
