  • Coco Rosie – Gallows

    I never heard of this band before. But this video is one of the most amazing music videos I have ever seen.

    The meaning of the song still puzzles me and the best answer I found was by DreamMasquerade @ songmeanings.net:

    I don’t know the circumstances, but it sounds to me like a group of some sort went to take a man to punish him with death for something (maybe he’s a criminal or they think he is, anyways). His daughters (or schizophrenic daughter) saw them taking him away and started screaming, and the people found out they were his daughters so they shot them. the talk about the tree is I think just their ghosts remaining in the trees (maybe they lived in a forest)
    it makes me think of early america, perhaps salem, personally. something about cocorosie always says witchcraft XD

  • I smile when I’m angry, I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by

    Leonard Cohen – In My Secret Life

    I saw you this morning.
    You were moving so fast.
    Can’t seem to loosen my grip
    On the past.
    And I miss you so much.
    There’s no one in sight.
    And we’re still making love
    In My Secret Life.

    I smile when I’m angry.
    I cheat and I lie.
    I do what I have to do
    To get by.
    But I know what is wrong,
    And I know what is right.
    And I’d die for the truth
    In My Secret Life.

    Hold on, hold on, my brother.
    My sister, hold on tight.
    I finally got my orders.
    I’ll be marching through the morning,
    Marching through the night,
    Moving cross the borders
    Of My Secret Life.

    Looked through the paper.
    Makes you want to cry.
    Nobody cares if the people
    Live or die.
    And the dealer wants you thinking
    That it’s either black or white.
    Thank God it’s not that simple
    In My Secret Life.

    I bite my lip.
    I buy what I’m told:
    From the latest hit,
    To the wisdom of old.
    But I’m always alone.
    And my heart is like ice.
    And it’s crowded and cold
    In My Secret Life.

  • It’s just the way I smile

    The Cure – Plainsong

    “i think it’s dark and it looks like rain” you said
    “and the wind is blowing like it’s the end of the
    world” you said “and it’s so cold it’s like the
    cold if you were dead” and then you smiled for
    a second.

    “i think i’m cold and i’m feeling pain” you said
    “and it’s all running out like it’s the end of the
    world” you said “and it’s so cold it’s like the
    cold if you were dead” and then you smiled for
    a second

    sometimes you make me feel like i’m living at
    the edge of the world like i’m living at the edge
    of the world “it’s just the way i smile” you said
