Guilt-Post

But I would rather be alone

Than pretend I feel alright - Arcade Fire

I would like to apologise to YOU, about my lack of interesting ideas and writing skills recently. I can only put it down to tons of homework and excessive Jerry Jakson watching. So I apologise, and I promise to do more posts when I have more time and actually have some ideas. It might be tomorrow, it might be a week, but until then here's something to keep you occupied...

Sitting on the corner of our rusty bed

Stroking the lace as if to comfort a child

Eyes staring open, mine wide and red

Don’t know what to think, my odds are piled

Crawl over to you slumped against the window sill

No teardrops my darling, your crack’d lips are still.

Closing your eyelids with two shaking tips

I slide down beside you and take your cold hand

Squeezing too hard, my reverie rips

Too late to say, this never was planned

Stroking your cheek, wasted away with distress

Ivory skin pulled tight like a wedding dress.

One final kiss on your purple lip

Burn down this house till nothing remains

Left marks on your soul from dark love’s whip

My guilty thoughts bind me like chains

Rain bounces in through the open window

It ripples, pools on your furrowed brow

Feigns crying, it trickles down your face

Our last moments no one can erase.

A silver hilt glinting in your chest

Drives deep into my own hairy heart’s nest

Let’s play masochists one final time

Our future’s clock chimes it’s last chime.

Song for you today, yay (rhyming skills).

Stone Roses - I wanna be adored

So the Stone Roses are reforming! Admittedly, I had never really got into them before, but once looking up some of their stuff, this song caught my eye (or ear, whatever). So get hooked.

Top 8 music videos (8 is a good number).

Get behind me, Satan.

Music video time lul. They're a bit strange, them music videos, cos they can either follow the theme of the song, of be completely different and give the song a whole new meaning, or sometimes taint it. So I have compiled a list of my favourite music videos, NME style. Except not really in any order, because I am not very good at decisions, so I'll just tell you when one is my particular favourite. Or something. Rah. Oh and just to warn you, this list may be rather RHCP based, cos lets face it, their videos are awesome. But yeah and stuff and things.

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Foetuses and crucifixion -  who doesn't love them? God knows what was going on in Nirvana's head when this video was being thought up, but its still great and memorable.(I was going to do a star rating, but then realised it would probably be pretty pointless seeing as they will all be 5 stars cos this is a list of my favourite videos, but STOP SPOILING MY FUN.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

The Chilis are a part of that tiny group of bands that can do a really funny video and still look so freaking cool. If you watch nothing else of Anthony's kidnapping adventure, skip to the flare dance. You will not be disappointed. 

The Strokes - You Only Live Once

Am I the only one who cringes at their lovely white clothes being covered in that oil? No? Just me then. Not entirely sure whats going on in this one but I love it all the same. Feel sorry for the drummer, though.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

I WANT THIS GAME. Its so cool and original, I love how it reflects each different bandplayer's personalities. And yes, I do also want a giant dragon fly. Who doesn't?

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Clips taken from the film Scenes From The Suburbs and compiled into a music video, this video captures the mood of the song perfectly and I love it and that's all there is to it.

The White Stripes - Blue Orchid

Jack White is a genius. I love the feel to this video and everything about it, from its Alice in Wonderland atmosphere to the jerky black and whiteness. Funnily enough, whenever I talk to anyone about this video, they all go "oohh but I bet those heels killed"...

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Death of You and Me & AKA... What a Life!

And then this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6m03FUYaTM&feature=player_embedded (the thing didn't want to find the video sozlol).

The adventures of an american waitress being force fed a potion and kidnapped and various other unfortunate events is spread over two music videos, so that why I've done two. And its not that bad for her cos she ends up with Noel in the end, and he looks so freaking cool in those sunglasses. Oh and Russell Brand is a LEGEND.

That's it for now, but I might do another one of these later.

An extra song for you to enjoy and be happy about

Red Hot Chili Peppers - True Men Don't Kill Coyotes

From their first album, but still fucking brilliant. This is gunna be stuck in my head for a looonnnngg time.

Hey, I managed to only put three RHCP songs on here. I’m pretty impressed with myself.

Johnny Cash, you legend.

Sometimes you get those really surreal moments when you find a song that just reflects you, at that precise moment in time. Although it mostly is the sound of it that would grab you, occasionally you get the odd song that grabs you by the throat with its lyrics. Those ones which rattle around in your head for days sending you shivers, that's what I'm talking about. 


I have a new song of the kind afore mentioned. Johnny Cash - Hurt is probably the first song to have me addicted before I have actually heard it. I just saw the first two lines, and thought hang on a minute, is he talking to me? It was strange. I found it strange, anyway. Although the actual tune isn't my favourite, I can't help but love this song. In honour of Mr Cash, my lovely steel strung acoustic has been named Johnny, because he was awesome. So here are the lyrics. Enjoy.




Johnny Cash - Hurt

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way




Song and shiz


The Cure - Lullaby

The video is almost as good as the song. And this song is fucking amazing. I love it so much, that beginning riff is ALWAYS in my head, and my friend Jas has a habit of whispering the lyrics. Which is a little spooky.
















Also, a little hint, check out Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. He's onto something there.
