Flowers in February

i know it's march already, but this roll of film is from february, so these flowers were around edinburgh mid-february. it's so lovely when everything sort of wakes up again, don't you think?

soundtrack: Coldplay – Sparks because the first album is still my favourite.

this made me jump! cherries? now? how marvelous!

these were the earliest to show up, and they made me so happy i had to stop and smile and look and feel them to make sure they were real.



more of them, like a carpet under the trees, so lovely.

the gorse has also started to send out it's comforting coconut scent. if you look closely, you might be able to see a rainbow there, too.

A shaky voice and a warm hug

just to say good-bye to long summer days, and hello to shorter days with lots of tea and books.

soundtrack: Bob Dylan – Silver Dagger (with Joan Baez)

It's only the giving that makes you what you are.

Soundtrack: Jethro Tull – Wond'Ring Aloud

Wond'ring aloud --
how we feel today.
Last night sipped the sunset --
my hands in her hair.
We are our own saviours
as we start both our hearts beating life
into each other.
Wond'ring aloud --
will the years treat us well.
As she floats in the kitchen,
I'm tasting the smell
of toast as the butter runs.
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
and I shake my head.
And it's only the giving
that makes you what you are.

this song is just so wonderful, everyone ought to listen to it every once in a while. it will make you sad, happy, curious, fall in love and the sensation of total bliss. enjoy with all you heart and soul.

Gypsy - Suzanne Vega

Se hva som kom i posten i går! To pakker!

Først:

endelig kom bladet fra mariell! det var nydelig

så:

en pakke fra usa

med

kjolemønster og gavelapper! nå blir det ny sommerkjole

jeg fant forresten en veldig fin spilleliste som passer om man har lest the perks of being a wallflower, eller bare rett og slett er glad i musikk.

look what arrived in the mail yesterday! two gifts! the first i opened was the magazine from mariell, it was lovely. and the other one was a pattern for the new dress i am going to sew.

happy day! i also found a playlist to go with the perks of being a wallflower, since i just read it.

Do the Twist

A Tribute: is wealth one party gives to another as a sign of respect or, as was often the case in historical contexts, of submission or allegiance.

Don't you wish you could just tribute all day long? I certainly do.

soundtrack:Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes

I don’t know why I call him Gerald.

I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like.

It’s got a basket, a bell that rings

And things to make it look good.

I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I’ve got a cloak it’s a bit of a joke.

There’s a tear up the front. It’s red and black.

I’ve had it for months.

If you think it could look good, then I guess it should.

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I know a mouse, and he hasn’t got a house.

I don’t know why I call him Gerald.

He’s getting rather old, but he’s a good mouse.

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I’ve got a clan of gingerbread men.

Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.

Take a couple if you wish. They’re on the dish.

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.

I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things.

I know a room full of musical tunes.

Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork.

Let’s go into the other room and make them work.

words: syd barrett

Det er digg å høre en av favorittsangene sine gjennom veggen. Bare på folkehøgskole, sier jeg, bare på folkehøgskole!

Om du trykker på bildet, kan du jo forte deg inn i naborommet og lytte selv.

It's marvellous to hear one of ones favourite songs through the wall.

i wish that you were here with me

I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
a flower

from the song 'piazza, new york catcher' by belle and sebastian.

If you haven't heard anything about - or by - KaiserCartel, I think you should do it right now. This song will make you really happy.

Big me

when I talk about it

it carries on

reasons only knew

when I talk about it

Aries or treasons

all renew

big me to talk about it

I could stand to prove

if we can get around it

I know that it's true

when I talked about it

carried on

reasons only knew

but it's you I fell into

well I talked about it

put it on

never was it true

foo fighters <3

Ode to Eddie

You know the feeling when you remember something you've forgotten, something that perhaps happened years ago, something that made you smile, laugh, and feel so content and happy? The feeling you get when you meet someone that you haven't seen in several years. That is the feeling I got when I first listened to Eddie Vedder's music, and especially his songs and music from the movie Into the Wild.
And the best part is that I get that feeling everytime I listen to his music.
