Lyric of the Day

We may fight, we may kick and scream through the streets of suburban Johannesburg, we may cause a scene, we may march, we may hold each other tight, we may cry, we may apologise, we may curse, we may promise, we may run, we may fly, or we may ache. 

All these things we may do my love but my feelings for you remain unchanged Fuuni.

I have selected a few lines from two of my favourite songs for you. 

"Let go of the past, that tore you apart.

Embrace this chance for a brand new start.

We weren't meant to be one of them,

but to live life, love and give..."

 - The Taste of Regret by In Fear and Faith

I sang this song, lungs bursting, ears ringing, unawares, loud enough to wake the dead (as I felt this was honouring the song's spirit) on the way back from your house tonight. Not, in such a long time has a song touched me or resonated with me in a way as it did tonight.

I believe in you my love. Let the lyrics in the way in which I did... I love you. 

"This is our city of the dead

Another life holds its weary head

We hope, we try, we live, survive

Counting days, trying to get by

Waiting for the calling

Anticipation in the air

We hope and dream of difference

City sleeping, unaware

Break the silence, WAKE THE DEAD

Running through these streets alone

I'll kick and scream, let's break this hold

'Cause I swear, that this won't render useless

I promise you, we've come this far

And I'm not stopping, I'm not stopping now

Enough hiding in shadows

Wake up, send out this message, it's clear

You said, you said, you said

this time was gonna be different

WAKE UP THE DEAD

[2x]

Coming alive, something stirs inside

This isn't over yet

Shake off the dirt

Swallow regret

Stop living under the weight

Living under the weight of regret

Your regrets

DON'T LOSE HOPE

Your regrets

DON'T LOSE HOPE

Don't let it happen to you

DON'T LOSE HOPE

Which side are you gonna choose?

'Cause I believe, I believe it's in you RISE!

We said, we said, we said

This time was gonna be different

WAKE UP THE DEAD..."

- Wake The Dead by Comeback Kid

Funny Shit

The Google Machine brings up such gems sometimes. 

Lyric of the Day

I love these lyrics. Awesome video too.

"I want a girl with a mind like a diamond

I want a girl who knows what's best

I want a girl with shoes that cut

And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations

Who's fast and thorough

And sharp as a tack

She's playing with her jewelry

She's putting up her hair

She's touring the facility

And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early

I want a girl who stays up late

I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity

Who uses a machete to cut through red tape

With fingernails that shine like justice

And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough

And sharp as a tack

She's touring the facility

And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation

I want a girl with good dividends

At Citibank we will meet accidentally

We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest

She wants a car that will get her there

She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen

She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket..."

- Short Skirt / Long Jacket by Cake

Take It or Leave It

"Whatever love you can get and give, 

Whatever happiness you can filch or provide, 

Every temporary measure of grace, 

Whatever works..."

- Boris Yellnikoff (Larry David), Whatever Works

Happy Birthday to Me...

I am a whole 25 years old today. Commence quarter-life crisis!

"You know it doesn't make much sense

There ought to be a law against

Anyone who takes offense

At a day in your celebration

Cause we all know in our minds

That there ought to be a time

That we can set aside

To show just how much we love you

And I'm sure you would agree

It couldn't fit more perfectly

Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday..."

- Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder

Stumblings

Along my Google search for kitsch biblical art for my boyfriend, I came across a blog which featured the art of Isabel Samaras. I am one hundred percent a fan now. I can only describe her paintings as biblical 50's horror. Here are a few of her pieces.

Such Beauty

I have a slight obsession with France, the music, the fashion, the food but not the people so much. However there has been one person that I admire above all others. Ms Carla Bruni or Mrs Nicholas Sarkozy. Her voice is delicate and beautiful. I am completely in love with her music. If you are not familiar with her, then click the video below and consider yourself schooled.
