Day 31 - Kids - MGMT

You were a child crawlin' on your knees toward it
Makin' mama so proud, but your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughin'
You pick the insects off plants, no time to think of consequences

Always makes me smile!

"When I look at you. Oh, but I don't know what's real, once in a while. And you make me laugh..."

"When You Sleep" by My Bloody Valentine (1991)

Why? Quiet noisy things & I love gazing at my shoes

"We went to see the fall of Rome - I thought it would please us
To watch how the mighty go in a blaze of hubris
But I just stood there hypnotised by all the beautiful madness
Face into the wind, boys, face into the wind..."

Dr. Dre and Eminem - ‘I Need A Doctor’

I told the world, one day, I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that

“The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams?”

Here are the young men, well where have they been?
We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber
Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in”

Discredited

Everywhere is war

"One, two, three, four, five, six! Roadrunner, roadrunner. Going faster miles an hour."

"Roadrunner" by The Modern Lovers (1976)

Why? These lines do go faster miles an hour (with the radio on!)

Day 30 - In Between - Parov Stelar & Karafizi

Lately
I thought I was not ready to embrace me
But surely I was wrong
Maybe
I am wondering if it is all against me
But your presence makes me stronger

This is so uplifting...

"Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothin'
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burnin'
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm..."

The Smiths - Vicar in a Tutu

I was minding my business
Lifting some lead off the roof of the Holy Name church
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
To set my eyes on the blistering sight
Of a Vicar in a tutu

Tubeway Army - Are "Friends" Electric?

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

“all I need is one mic, one beat, one stage
One nigga front, my face on the front page
Only if I had one gun, one girl and one crib
One God to show me how to do things his son did
Pure, like a cup of virgin blood”

When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other time

And how we danced...
