Quick post today, just wanted to let everyone know if you did not already that stars' new album is released June 22th 2010, and its a must check out. Right now, you have probably already heard Fixed if you're a fan, but they also just allowed another one of their new songs to be listened to, its called " We Don't Want Your Body " It's such a good song, and this song makes me look forward to their new album, I feel it really does do them justice to say that this song is STARS.
We don't want your body - Stars
Fixed - Stars
I can't wait for this album to come out! its unreal! If you have not heard stars before, check them out, they are of quality and excellence. Love, listen and repeat. Chels
Yesterday, Rah Rah released their newest album Breaking Hearts, and i just wanted to share my favorite song from the album with you. It is called Communist Man, and it is excellent. Unfortunately it is too premature for there to be a youtube video, and even on their myspace this song is not featured, but check it out. http://www.myspace.com/rahrahband
A song i've been listening to a lot lately is called " Mykonos " by Fleet Foxes, its soothing and soulful and i absolutely love it.
Now, a song with amazing lyrics, is called Middle of June, now its ironic that i've started to listen to this song now, because well its june. It is by Noah Gundersen and his voice and the meaning to this song just amazes me.
Middle of june - Noah Gundersen
Time is a cold wind blowing through the leaves Of a tired old tree I sit [sing?] beneath Where I think about the world and I don't know how What will happen to us now?
And peace is a ladder up to the clouds That I'm wishing I could climb but I don't know how So would you lend me a hand to the promise land Where I made[?] it glory bound
And it comes and it goes Where it's headed, no one knows And we come and we go All the saints and the liars, sittin' by the fire What will happen to us now?
And hatred is a sharp knife held by the blade It's cutting in your palm 'til you feel no pain And burning in your eyes with a righteous rage 'Til the ashes blow away
And love is a thing that you can't define Though you try with all your might through the riddles and rhymes But it'll fly you like a kite; it'll throw you to the ground But that's the best thing I have found.
And it comes and it goes Where it's headed no one knows And we come and we go Like the winter and the spring Losing everything just to gain it back again
And oh, how pretty is the middle of June? [4 times]

So, one of my favorite songs is Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It's my favorite song because it reminds me of so many things. And tells such a good story, that is different to everyone who listens to it. I hit the jackpot today, when I found this Amazing RAC Mix, free download on my www.last.fm account. If I listen to this version of the song with my headphones on as high as I can, i feel like i'm living in the song. Not only do the vocals play a large role in this song, but in this mix, the instrumentals are amazing. Probably one of the best instrumentals i've ever heard in a song.
SO, Everyone, this sunday was the best and most eventful day of my life. I saw and met Royal Wood in concert, but even better, I saw David Gray live, and he was more than amazing. He was incredible. I have a video, it's not very good cause I took it with my iphone, so sorry.
ANYWAYS, I could talk for hours about how amazing that man was in concert, but that could be a slight bit boring.
In other news, today was incredibly hot out, 35 degrees really does not suit me, or my hair. I practically just spent my entire day listening to the song :
Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, because it is actually one I will NEVER forget. The lyrics have been stuck in my mind all day, and it makes me so sad.
But anyways, sappy things aside, i'm super into Regina Spektor right now, her voice and music is truly amazing.
Human of the year - Regina Spektor
I'm so sorry also that i have not had the time to write everyday, i'm graduating, and exams and all this end of the year stuff is blowing up in my face, but don't worry ill try and write as much as poss from now on!
