"and when a train goes by it's such a sad sound"

Certain people in my life have begun to really irk me, I feel a falling out coming. And as of now, I'm perfectly fine with it, moving on and I don't want to spend any more of my precious energy worrying about it anymore, I'm done. One thing that I know will always make me feel better is just simply listening to some good tunes and looking at beautiful photography such as these...

Changing with the Seasons

It's slowly becoming more work than reward with some of my friends. The sad thing is, I don't even think they notice or put as much thought into it as I do. I'm glad that I at least have a couple of friends that I can still go to.

"And You Can Tell Everybody This Is Your Song"

Ellie Goulding just released her cover song of Elton John's "Your Song." I rather like it and I really like the music video. It reminds me of Robyn's "Hang With Me" video. I love when they're sort of behind the scenes-like.



Also, just look at this pretty photo of Shaun White playing guitar. Goodness, he's gorgeous. Oh, how I love film photography...you can just feel so much richness in this shot. This is why I love it.

Dreaming of Wonderfulness

My dreams have been good to me lately. The other night I had a dream that I was in a relationship with a younger Tim Roth and the feeling I felt in my dream when I was with him was indescribable. It's one that I lost after I woke up, but I wish I could feel that again. It was complete happiness. Now, I'm not saying that it was because I was with Tim Roth (that didn't hurt it though ;) ) but the fact that I was with someone that I completely trusted and loved. I hope that feeling can be felt in real life and that it isn't just a chemical reaction of happiness that my brain creates that I will only feel in my dreams.

Then last night I had a dream that I had finally met the guy that I've been crushing on from afar at some kind of work party thing, which is how I hope I'll meet him in real life next week. But anyways, he was interested in me like I was in him and he said that I was attractive and he really wanted to get to know me. It was a nice ego boost in my dream. Now that I've had that amazing dream, how will real life ever be able to top it? That's the sad part. Why don't these things happen in real life? And will I ever feel the wonderfulness of my dreams in real life or are they only sacred to my dreams?

Secret To An Indie Favorite Music Video

So if you want your music video to be watched and liked by many and you want to appear in it as little as possible, then just get a few kids to learn your song and lip-synch it in a music video. This my friends, is key to a winner. Haha, at least that's what these guys did and I love them! I think kids hold such innocence that when they sing a song that seems mature for them, it brings on a rawness and emotion that just can't be portrayed when an adult sings it.

Black Keys-"Tighten Up"


Foals-"Blue Blood"


The Temper Trap-"Love Lost"

New Listens


Benjamin Francis Leftwich is a singer/songwriter from York who just came out with a new EP called "A Million Miles Out." There's only four songs but they are all wonderful. Just watch his new music video, it's a photographer's dream, so beautiful! Just look at all the colors and the beautiful colouring...inspires me.

"I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
When the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?"




He also has a great cover of The Killer's "When You Were Young"...

I also just downloaded Hurts' new album "Happiness." It's pretty good so far. I need to fulfill my urge for UK and overseas music.
