Sounds Familiar

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting new results." 

- Joseph Simmonds 

Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can

I'm glad you haven't changed a bit.

Stay Safe

"Love is about danger, always. Love jumps off cliffs, love is irrational. It keeps you alive and it destroys you.

The search for love provides nourishment for the artistic soul. I'm afraid that as soon as you really find love, there won't be anything left to write songs about."

- Lady Gaga 

This One Drive

I took on Valentine's Day.

I shook all the way, and the skies were grey.

Kate Nash - Do Wah Doo

There is something really sweet and charming about this.

I was totally prepared to be over Kate Nash in every way, but I really like the subtlety to this video.

And the faces. Good faces!

Ridiculous

Trying to fit everything I want to say into one text message. Or three as the case may be.

Four is too excessive, right?

Why, whenever a situation like this comes up, do I always get this inevitable wave of 'you only live once, just press send' coming over me?

Surely in my 22 years I have grown enough to judge something and think a situation through without leaving it to chance, fate and taking a risk.

Pathetic.

So there has been this letter sat on my desk for about a week, ready to send but I've been too scared to do it.

I would really like to go for a drink with you...

But I can't lie, I am still really cut up over losing you, and I've never felt like this before.

I think about you still every day, and haven't said anything because I don't want to bother you.

I hate that it's come to me telling you this over a text, but I didn't want to seem rude by not replying...

I'm sorry.

American McGee's 'Red'

Ellie Goulding - Salt Skin

A gorgeous end to a stellar album.

It took a while to 'get' it, but there are so many good hooks and it really is beautifully melodic, even it is far more polished and has more pop sensibility than I wanted it to.

You're as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove
That is no way to live that is no way to love
Full of fear in your skin and the weakness in giving in
Stabbed in the back but you feel no pain
Push the heaviest doors that you can't open
Yeah they tied me up and my body lies still, again

You're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
I don't know when you'll break but it's gonna be soon
If my will caves in, I'll be in teh same boat as you

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the stength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created just to understand... 
"the meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth unless you want me to

For all of the times that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor and I found it again
But when it came back,
I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin
Running to where heis
NEver going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created just to understand... 
"the meaning of"

Hannah Zeffert Photography

Hannah is a big talent from Woking who I heard about through a good friend.

I really like the way she uses colour obviously, but in the same way really subtly to bring her photos together.

The simplicity of her work makes it really effective as well.

And no, I am not biased just because I happen to be in a loving relationship with the subject matter.
