You should give up lying to your boyfriend.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE

Creativity

"I really think it’s because society tries to dictate the way a guy is supposed to dress and the way a guy is supposed to act, and I refuse to conform. A lot of these dudes would never be accused of being gay just because they all look exactly alike. If people could just realize the amount of mundaneness and followers that lack creativity. I think people’s mentality is like, Only gay people are that creative. And it’s true there are a lot of gay people who are incredible creative minds, but there are straight people who are incredible creative minds - and there’s gay people who can’t dress or create at all, too. Closed-minded gay people probably say they dress 'straight.'"

- Kanye West

Bat For Lashes - Glass

This encompasses everything Bat For Lashes is about.
Myths, fantasy, love story, and gorgeous 80's adventure movie references.
This is progression, this is 'Horse and I' part 2, this is a hot white diamond.
I have an unashamed amount of love for Natasha Khan.

I will rise now
And go about the city
In the streets
Broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth

Went over the sea
And what did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour

And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the being
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem

The Fever, The Focus

I'm going to see fucking Brand New with my Balmer on Saturday 27th June.

This is the setlist I want them to play.
I'm crossing everything.

'Stores That Are No More' by Brian Ulrich

Recession-worthy.

Demi Lovato - Don't Forget

New secret obsession alert.
Ooops.

Did you forget
That I was even alive?
Did you forget
Everything we ever had?
Did you forget?
Did you forget
About me?

Did you regret
Ever standing by my side?
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand?
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all

And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us

But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us

Lady Gaga - Fooled Again, Honest Eyes

I have been waiting for this for a very long time.

See the lonely girl
Out on the weekend
Trynna make it pay
She can't relate to joy
Although she tries to speak it
She can't begin to say...
'The boy fooled me again
He loves me all up
But I'm so down today'

See the lonely girl
In Hollywoood on the weekend
Trynna make it pay

It's been a hard day
A harder night
The rockstar's grifrield
She lost the fight
Well, 'it's alright baby
I'm nobody's mother
But I don't want this last cigarette to be over.'

You fooled me again
With your honest, honest, honest eyes
Again
Fooled me again
With your dirty mouth
Full of honest lies
You're so honest
Full of shh...
Honest.

It's been 2 days
Since she left home
She dries her eyes
And picks up her microphone
She sings:
'It's alright baby,
I'm nobody's mother
Just don't want this last cigarette to be over.'

YOU'RE SO FRICKIN' HONEST.

Gwen Stefani - Early Winter

I will never. EVER. Tire of this song.
Small lump, every time.
Epic.

You
You know how to get me so low
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can't fix what you broke
You, you always have a reason
Again & again this feeling
Why do I give in?
& I always was, always was one for crying
I always was one for tears

The sun's getting cold, It's snowing
Looks like an Early Winter for us
An Early Winter
Oh I need you to turn me over

It's sad the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you
& I always was, always was one for crying
I always was one for tears
No, I never was, never was one for lying
You lied to me all of these years

The sun's getting cold, It's snowing
Looks like an Early Winter for us
An Early Winter
Oh I need you to turn me over

Why?
Why do you act so stupid?
Why?
You know that I'm always right

It looks like an Early Winter for us
It hurts & I can't remember sunlight
An Early Winter for us
The leaves are changing colour for us
& it gets too much, yeah it gets so much
Starting over & over & over again

Röyksopp - The Girl and the Robot

I go mental every time you leave for work
You never seem to know when to stop
I never know when you'll return
I'm in love with a robot

In the night, call you up and
Wanna know when you're coming home
Don't deny me, call me back
I'm so alone

In the night, wait up for you
Even though you don't want me to
Go to bed, leave the lights on
What's the use

So you want to understand me
You just see what you want to see
There's no way I can help you out
You don't know what it's all about

Fell asleep again in front of MTV
Gotten down to the bottom
No-one's singing songs for me
I can't wait for tomorrow

When you're gone and rain starts falling
I just sit here by the phone
Don't deny me, call me back
I'm so alone

Baby I can't stand it when you go to work
You never seem to know when to stop
I never know when you'll return
I'm in love with a robot

Black

WICKED GAME.
Renews faith in the old PS2 a bit.
And now I am DEFINITELY getting Call of Duty: World At War for my Wii thankyou very much.

Erik Hassle - Bitter End

This guy is going to be HUGE.
And I hope he isn't, because the album is so amazing I don't want anyone else to have it.


I knew I had what I wanted
But still I wanted more
A drink or two got me started
And now I just can't get over you

Grass so green on the other side
At least it felt so at the time
All I got was a troubled mind
And now I can't get over you

So here comes the bitter end
Yes, I blew it once again
But still I haven't learned one lesson well
I can't get over you

Could you spit at me in the face?
Could I starve a hundred days?
Whatever it takes to break this spell
I can't get over you

Could you please give me forgiveness
And wash my sins away
Because without love my life's pretty pointless
And I just can't get over you

Whatever it takes to break this spell
Whatever it takes to break this spell
I gotta get out of this hell...
I can't get over you.
