Behaviors of the Moon

Had I not known you as I do

I would have thought you despondent

As you wane

And quietly disappear

They say it's apogee

I have seen a few boys since

They are of the Sun

We have had fun

At night I look out the pane

Not hoping for you to return

Not hoping for resurrected luminescent nights

I know you too well

Though you’re distant

My heart journeys there

But I beg you please

Still,

I want to slip back into

Your spell of night

Quietly

2012 - THE YEAR FOR MUSIC

I don't know about you guys, but 2011 was a huge bummer for music. Granted, there were a few widely anticipated albums such as Drake's Take Care (which delivered),  The Strokes Angles, Bon Iver's self titled album, and newly popular Black Keys with their "El Camino", but overall I was dissatisfied.

 My dissatisfaction derived from a more personal preference that appeals more towards this 2012 year. I don't know though, 2011 just felt weird. The top charting songs, the reviews and energy of the music industry ebbs and flows, carrying an endless stream of musical talent towards different horizons of success. Where stuff flowed in 2011 seemed out of balance and place. Some artists with enormous talent wern't ready to put out there stuff yet, and the ones that were just put it out at strange points in the year, or were touring in europe, or I just wasn't that into. Does that make sense? Prolly not.

Weeellllllllllllllll
LATES 2011

HERES WHATS HAPPENING IN 2012 OMG SO PUMPED (im so pumped. did I mention I'm so pumped?)
Already----
 First Aid Kit's The Lion's Roar. This angelic Swedish duo came out with another album of deep, heartfelt lyrics. This album maintains there folky style, but with extreme vocal and instrumental strength, coupled with powerful and invoking lyrics. The album is not only complete, it is tightly woven. beautiful!!!!

Nicki Minaj's Roman Reloaded  gives the general public a thurough taste of their pop princess' artistry. Most people haven't been exposed to "Roman", and didn't see Nicki and Barbie as separate musical entites within Nicki Minaj, and I think this album offers more knowledge on this interesting quirk. She is a performance genius, she's dominant but feminine, she's energetic and commanding, and she certainly does what she wants. However, I don't love the super poppy songs. I was excited because I though this album was going to be all Roman, but in truth, this album was more about Barbie. Barbie makes the money for Nicki, so its understandable. Either way, she's still one of my favorite female artists.

Best Coast's The Only Place is increadibly lovely and heartfelt. Bethany Cosentino has recently come into a lot of fame, she's had a lot going on in her life, and this album is notibly somber comparred to the first album. It has a clearer sound, she slows down the rythym, there are more minor notes, and she really pours out her heart. She maintains the same beachy rock style that is Best Coast, and has some peppy songs for sure, but I really appreciate the refinement in this album, that shows her journey as an artist and woman.

Beach House's Bloom, is so perfect. I love when artists do a darker album, and this album is exactly that. I don't know, there in my top five favorite artists of all time. Victoria Legrand is my role model. Dreamy, haunting, amazing composition, deep and poetic lyrics, I drown in their music. This album was of no suprise to me, but for some reason, everyone really likes this album- especially people who couldn't get into beach house before.







Coming Soon--- (in 2012)

GRIZZLY BEAR's new album
DIRTY PROJECTOR's new album
THE XX's new album
ARCTIC MONKEYS' new album

need I say more friends? I am so spanking pumped <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 cheers

Force Fields

OMG this is like easy cheese cheesy.

So if you get grossed out, I'm sorry.

If you only like stinky cheese love crap, well sorry I'm just not refined in my analytical pallet yet.



Of the analogies pertaining to love- there are two I'm well aquainted with. The love chemistry and the love magnetism. I believe in magnetic love. Its the better love science. We all have romantic forcefields that attract and repell people, some are stronger than others, but only one person will be your magnetic opposite. That is not to say opposites attract, but someone's love forcefield will be equally as pulling to yours as yours is to them.

You will attract and repell many people. Some people with great romantic forcefields will attract all sorts of people, but I'm waiting for that person who just sticks. That I'm pulled so fast to that I can't stop it from happening. Someone I don't have to force myself to. Someone who gravitates towards me so tremendously that we can't be separated. Its one of the strongest bonds achievable when the forces are strong. Equal but opposite. Equal. Love

Love I know your out there.


I ain't in no hurry babe. But as for you guys, fall back. I already know weak magnets.

Moon Strings

Mr. Moon when I stare up at you

I dare you- look down on me

Penetrate my soul through the

Captivation of light in my eyes

Overpower me with your luminescence

And look inside

We’re not so different you and I

Made beautiful by the darkness,

Overshadowed by the suns light

Not like the corpse, not like the

Bloody, hungry body, but more like

The ghosts that haunt

You of course know more than I

But if you’d be so kind as to share

I’d take the time to listen

I’ve watched from afar

I know your heart

It has strings attached to mine

Stairwell Grey

If I told you to scar me
Perhaps you would understand
I love the moon
He does something to me

Stop falling asleep in the moonlight friend
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
You're biting me again
How many rabbits did you eat?

See?
Now you've pressed those canines
in deep- deep enough
a scar will be realized once
connective tissue covers this oozing hole

Me and  the moon know
You're a wolf
In comes the sunshine
You will never realize
How I love you so

Hiding

I dwelt with him who hides

As you’d expect, those were dark times

The darkness has a way of pulling you in

You are frightened first

But your fright is replaced with thirst

And invincibility muddies perception

You learn to live for sensation

Because vision and noise know not

Know not your crimes

He who hides knows

In the bright he paints a prettier picture

It captured my eye

From which came his dark lullaby

The hook caught my mouth

He took a bite and spelt my name in blood

You may wonder how I ever could

But we adapt

He who hides is known for his guise

Have you seen him remove the mask?

Never! And I ask because you believe in him

He takes it off in the dark

The contrast is stark

Perhaps he thought I had one too.

I painted my face with black

But I had no outer shell to remove.

You see,

I have learned to detest him who hides

Pain may come with sight

But numbing darkness is a prison

Too solemn for a sound mind.

If you wish to hide

Leave yourself behind.
