when the birds are sleeping, thats when the trees sing//

sometimes i just can´t stop listening to a song, a band or an album. i think i´m really getting on peoples nerves with my osbession on the three bands that are creating the soundtrack to my spring 2010. i just can´t stop listening, can´t stop talking about them and can´t stop forcing people to start to listen to their tunes as well and of course start to love them at least as much as is do. hahaha. so one more round in my little game called "you have to love them even more":

SEABEAR


the lovely melancholie of sindri már sigfússon makes me just forget everything around me. the music takes me away, to a little dreamland that other bands like to call ochrasy or albion. we call our treasureland seaberia. oh, how i´d would love to spent my lifetime in beautiful seaberia.

Seabear: i´ll build you a fire from morr music on Vimeo.



wanna come with me?


you left your winter clothes,
and your teeth marks in my skin

so shake the leaves, off the trees,
watch them float down the stream
your son, your daughter
swimming in the water

and I miss you, even when you're around
I'm a black cloud,
sending lightning to the ground

darling please, show your teeth
just one more dance to help me sleep
oh girl, cold water eyes
fill the past with friendly nights
human skin, can be hard to live in
you'll feel better in the morning
wash your hands in the lake
you've got a heart

trails lost in the snow
make way for winter's eerie glow
and that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon
in your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea

throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep
for such a long time, such a long time
sing myself awake
watch the branches break
no one could ever take your place

wash your face in the lake
you've got a diamond under your skin

the second band that really makes my days right now is - surprise - a danish band. the observing readers may have discovered my deep love for danish music by now. if not, there will be some chances in the next couple of weeks to learn more about this great musiccountry and its amazing artists, as i am finally going to visit denmark in may. yay!

but here we go, i want to introduce you - again - to the charming guys of TURBOWEEKEND and the lovely WHEN SAINTS GO MACHINE...

don´t deny me this pleasure, please.

TURBOWEEKEND


seems to me, that mixing indierock and electronic music is not a revolution anymore and i know that there are thousands and thousands of bands who describe their sound exactly like this, but: no one does it as god as the danish bands. i love their fresh and organic way to electronic music and i really think no one does it better than TURBOWEEKEND and of course WHEN SAINTS GO MACHINE.



if you’ve been moonlighted I don’t need to know
just stand beside me now. Come with me when I go
a perfect match lights a perfect fire logically
I’ll trust you madly if you’ll keep your secrecy

when we walk in the dark I hear wolves around us
would you let them through the kitchendoor?
if you try to satisfy them with a taste
they’ll only hunt you down for more

did I see something or was it nothing?
just a flicker that’s already gone
did you see something, something or nothing?
would you mind if we turned the lights on?
did I see something or was it nothing?
give me a sign to prove me wrong
did you see something, something or nothing?
I need a push or pull to move along

the chase sometimes is sweeter than the catch
milk and honey every day and the angels gets lazy and fat
what I mean to say is that I love you, practically
I keep you always in mind no matter who I see

when we lie in your bed there’s a ghost between us
and a double voice when we talk
I don’t kow how much longer we can hide
the second shadows everywhere we walk

and if that was not enough, here comes the next reason to really love this band:



WHEN SAINTS GO MACHINE
there are no words left for my absolutely favourite band right now. WHEN SAINTS GO MACHINE - thos four words are like magic to my ears. enjoy.







and if you don´t love them now, we just can´t be friends...

i’ve got monkeys in my dreams reaching up to pull rainbows to the ground//

it´s april and april is "konzertmonat". right. that explains the lack of posting. but now i have a lot of work to do, catching up with all the reviews i´ve missed giving.

so let´s start from the beginning.

april 1st:
the months started with a battle. teenbeatclub vs. der gute club. guess who did win ;-)
ELEKTRIK KEZY MEZY


MEAN POPPA LEAN


april 2nd:
SHOUT OUT LOUDS
live at radiokulturhaus, playing a fm4 radio session. this concert would need at least three posts, better 300 posts, to act up to the importance that this band has for me. every single one of their albums is connected closely with a time in my life. if there is any band that i would call "my" band, it would be them...

seeing them play again, after such a long time, it was like flipping through a book full of memories. thank you so much.

april 6th:
PILOTS

SWEET SWEET MOON


april 8th:
THOSE DANCING DAYS


april 9th / 11th:
DESTROY, MUNICH


april 12th:
DIVER

april 14th:
GARISH


april 16th:
MUMFORD & SONS


april 21st:
EAGLE SEAGULL


april 22nd:
DECKCHAIR ORANGE


and there is one week left in april. hah!

of course i´ll be alright, i just had a bad night//

today is NADA SURF day. so i´ll take some time to remember my all time favourites. heres a little list...

3. "the way you wear your head"

don´t push me, cause i´ll fall in love
with whatever you just said
don´t push me, cause i´ll fall in love
with the way you wear your head

2. "inside of love"

I know the last page so well
I can't read the first
so i just don't start
it's getting worse

1. "if you leave"
my absolute favourite. not even one of the cheesiest but at the same time most beautiful lovesongs, but my favourite o.c. scene ever, as well.

and here comes the tears...
if you leave, don't leave now
please don't take my heart away
promise me just one more night
then we'll go our separate ways
we always had time on our sides
now it's fading fast
every second every moment
we've gotta make it last

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
you always said we'd still be friends someday

if you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
but if you leave, don't look back
I'll be running the other way
seven years went under the bridge
like time was standing still
heaven knows what happens now
you've gotta say you will

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price

he walked down a bussy street, staring solely at his feet//

clutching pictures of past lovers at
his side.



stood at his table where she sat,
and removed his hat
in respect of her presence.

presents her with the pictures and says,
'these are just ghosts that broke my
heart before I met you.
'these are just ghosts that broke my
heart before I met you.'

opened up his little heart,
unlocked the lock that kept it dark
and read a written warning saying
'I'm still mourning,
over ghosts, over ghosts, over ghosts
over ghosts that broke my heart
before I met you.'

lover please,
do not fall to you knees,
it's not like I belive in,
ever-lasting love.

so he went crazy at nineteen,
said he'd lost all his self-esteem
and couldn't understand why he
was cry, cry, crying, crying.

he would stare at empty chairs
think of the ghosts that once sat there:
the ghosts that broke his heart,
oh the ghosts that broke my heart,
the ghosts that broke his heart,
oh the ghosts that broke my heart.

the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts,
the ghosts that broke my heart
before I met you.

lover please,
do not fall to you knees,
it's not like I belive in,
ever-lasting love.

he says 'I'm so lost,
not at all well.'

do as done after there was nothing left to be
well, turned out I'd been following him
and he'd been following me.
do as done after it was over
we were just two lovers crying on
each other's shoulder

well I fell into the water, now I’m free//

i don´t wanna turn my little blog into one of those fashionblogs but a little post here and there can´t be wrong, huh?

so here one more post about fashion. haha. but anyways, i wanna share a picture i found at some other blog in the last weeks. man, is she beautiful.

but my chances turned to toast when I asked her if I could call her your name//


it was too loud for me to hear her speak and she had a broken arm
it was close, so close that the walls were wet
and she wrote it out in letraset
"no, you can't call me her name"

look at those gorgeous CHANEL clogs. i´d love to wear them with grey or mauve overknees all day every day...
