Swans - Public Castration Is a Good Idea (1986)

In my mind

All these trouble seem to find

A place to call their own

I dont wanna do this alone

You know I’m tryin

To let you know

How I want all this to go

Down

I’m running out of room to say

All I need to say

And baby this ain’t really home

I know I’ve got a long long way to go

I know you’re always writing home to me

And I dont wanna be alone

When the train stops running pllease

Dont leave

Im tryina say all these things deep inside of me

I love the reverb effect in this one ❤

Revenge | XXXTENTACION | Cover by Beryl Larsen |

Como eu pude um dia me apaixonar por você?

Como eu pude um dia me envolver com alguém assim?

Tão diferente de mim

Tão nem aí pra sonhar

Porque tem que ser assim?

Bem que pudia mudar…

Se é errando que se aprende, eu aprendi com você

Só se sabe o que é bom quando conhece o ruim

Graças a Deus teve fim

Viver sofrendo não dá

Faça um favor pra mim ?

Nem venha me procuraaaaaaar.

Não perco mais um dia de sol

Não deixo que a tua sombra me assuste

Nem pense que eu fiquei na pior

Não vem me procurar

Desilude

Você me entristeceu sem saber

Eu tive que mudar foi preciso

Teu segredo roubou o meu sorriso

There was a tale, 

A man who loved a girl

Long ship with sails 

Along the water’s edge

Pretty Irish maiden

The focus of his quest

The burning curse for him 

Come to me now 

Twelve friends you’ll bring 

to dine with me

and twelve of mine as well

We’ll leave all our weapons 

behind so you can tell

you’re safe with me 

Later that night 

The sky was filled with stars

The Ladies came 

unto his hall great 

But they hid their faces 

Behind veils of lace

Quite a feast they shared 

Ladies, my dears, 

Would you be so kind 

As to remove 

The masks you hide behind 

For it would be nice

To see your true design 

They raised their hands 

And they revealed 

That they were not maidens 

But full grown men 

To kill the Vikings strong

And they slaughtered them all

 Killing all but one, 

The man who loved a girl 

And he was tied

Tied in chains of steel

They then threw him 

In the Black Lake 

And he learned his lesson 

Not to trust sweet words

From pretty Irish girls 

There was a tale

A man who loved a girl 

Long ships with sails

Along the water’s edge

Pretty Irish maiden

The Focus of his quest 

The burning curse for him 

Original song :’P

Speaking of songs to play on repeat:

Good Thing feat. Kehlani by Zedd

An anthem for those that adore the single life, that don’t need a partner to complete them, that don’t necessarily crave the life plan of settling down, getting married, and having kids, Good Thing is the kind of song you play entirely too loud and listen to while you strut down the street, going where ever it is that you feel like going.

It ekes power and emits strength. It reminds you to be what you need and unapologetically who you are. It tells us not to settle, and to be happy how we want to be happy. It throws off the constraints of what society expects from us and sends us on our merry way, ready to be however we want with an intoxicating beat and melody by our side.

It lets us find strength in feeling strong and beautiful and sexy without expectations. It shows us the joy of doing what you want when you want, without really having to care about someone else’s opinion. It’s a selfish kind of self-love–but I’m of the firm belief that we need that sometimes.

It’s easy to lose yourself–to become entombed by societal expectation and overrun by the importance of who you’ve chosen to attach yourself to. This song peels that all back, strips it away until only you are left behind. And then Kehlani swoops in with her gorgeous vocals and tells you how absolutely fucking awesome you are.

This song is about loving yourself. And I can 100% get behind that.

Always, sometimes, never.

I am really into remixes and covers lately (blame Spotify–it is one hundred percent their fault) so it’s really no surprise that I chose another one to talk about today:

Don’t Dream It’s Over Covered/remixed by KO

A modern take on an absolute classic of a song, this pop/techno/dance version of Don’t Dream It’s Over has literally been on repeat for me since I discovered it. It is the kind of song that makes you feel like you’re walking on sunshine, like you are falling in love, like you are on the verge of something indescribably amazing.

This is the kind of song that plays during those scenes in the movies where the character starts out walking down the street, burdened by their problems before they settle into resolve and slowly begin to run, moving faster and faster until they disappear where the end of the road meets the horizon. It is the kind of music you drive just a little too fast to; the kind of song that makes you heart feel like it can soar–like everything is going to be just fine.

It’s even possible that I like this song more than the original–which is terrible, I know–but I can’t help. This song has a beat that makes you want to dance, a rhythm that demands you participate, a vocal quality that makes you want to sing along as loud as you possibly can. It begins slow but builds in intensity until you feel like you are at the height of something–of feeling, of living; whatever it is you dream of.

It is just absolutely breathtaking from start to finish–so if you are looking for an older song brought to the modern era, start here. If you want something familiar but also unknown, gives this a try. Something to steal you heart while it cycles on repeat?

Press play.

How Do You Sleep? Covered by John Tucker

A slow and heartbreaking cover of an iconic song, How Do You Sleep? stumbled into my life via Spotify Discover (like so many Songs of 2019 have) and I have not been the same since.

Tucker’s tone is glorious and rich and deep–it hooks you from the first note and draws you so deeply into the story of the song that it instantly gets the creative half of my brain churning.

It absolutely emits this hopeless, heartbroken vibe that begs for its story to be told; to be understood. And there is something about the languid, steady version of this song that just ensnares me–and I’m not entirely sure what it is. It could be that despite it’s softness it is filled with an undeniable sense of urgency–of the the threads holding something together coming unraveled far too quickly for it to be fixed before it snaps entirely. It could be the sadness of a heart cracking, and then slowly continuing to fissure until the pieces come apart. But the truth is that I don’t know–and maybe that’s what draws me in the most.

Missing you harder than ever

Radio Ga Ga by Queen

It just goes without saying that everything Queen did was amazing. From the first song to the last, they shaped the future of music, inspired a generation, and went down in history with a flare unlike any other.

I am still shook from Bohemian Rhapsody (the movie, not the song–though I guess the song, too). The end of that movie–the Live Aid performance–is so intoxicating that it emotionally sucks me in every time. And when they roll into this song, it feels like the scene catches fire; like your heart begins to lift high enough that you might be able to fly. It’s that anticipation you feel as a rollercoaster crests the top of its highest hill, when you can look out and see the entire theme park, the highway stretched out for miles, and the world as it bustles on–and then you fall.

The drumbeats of this song echo the pounding of your heart, and you are swamped with this unmistakable and unexplainable happiness. It is this inherent belief that everything is going to be okay, that life will blast past you filled with sunshine if you choose to let it in and feel every moment of it.

This song is that hope, that memory, that belief. It’s why we play it as loud as it can go, why an entire stadium screamed the words to this song at one of the largest performances in the world. It is bottled joy and the swelling of your heart as you chase everything that is yet to come.

And I love it.
