"love rock"
This is probably my favorite song off the album
and I really like the cinematography in this video.
Stars have done it again with "The Five Ghosts"
and I'm sure this album will be part of the soundtrack to my summer.
It's easy, carefree pop is just too enjoyable.
I literally sleep for hours to this album and wake up just to replay it all over again.
I'll probably go dive into their great back catalog now and doze off to those tunes as well.
"Telephone rings
But we'll just let it singHide out 'till tomorrow
I crawl into your shadow
I don't mind, I don't mind
This wasted, shaded daylight"

sing the chorus again.
It's odd how songs seem to relate to your own life.
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met
The times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walkin around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Still moving through the pain
I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I Wanna walk again
Gonna move through the pain
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Still moving through the pain
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
Sing the chorus again
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming
Sing the chorus again
Wait for it"
Recently I've been pondering about time, waiting, being patient, rushing things, and slow&fast pace.
Particularly these two lines have been rummaging around in my head lately:
"these things, they take time"
"take your time, take your time to arrive"
and now "we used to wait" has arrived.
And now begins the storm behind my eyes as I wait for that lighting bolt.
"I used to write
I used to write lettersI used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met
The times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walkin around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Still moving through the pain
I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I Wanna walk again
Gonna move through the pain
Now our lives are changing fast

Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Ooooo we used to wait
Still moving through the pain
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
Sing the chorus again
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming
Sing the chorus again

Clubs & Camping
I just spent the last 2 days trekking and camping on the Gahuti Trail in the Fort Mountain State Park. I figured I'd post the songs that kept me company as I stared at the night sky with Cec because he couldn't fall asleep in the wilderness. Oh by the way, hiking 8 miles uphill over jagged rocks with only 4 hours of sleep is Hell. The journey was actually more scenic than the destination though, sigh.
These two recently released albums are my favorites at the moment and I demand you to get them. Every single song on these albums is fantastic. Who doesn't love albums where you don't need to skip tracks?
Download links are the gray "Artist - Album Title" labels.
favorite tracks-
"favourite colour"
"breakneck speed"
"wait up (boots of danger)"
"bambi <---This is my favorite track off the album"
"end of a spark"
"big difference"

"do you want it all"
"this is the life"
"undercover martyn"
Loquat
"take it back"
"who can even remember?"
"i'm not your lemonade"
