I finally saw “Where the Wild Things Are” the other day. I absolutely fell in love with the cinematography and the soundtrack. This song in particular, is simply beautiful. It’s called “All is Love” and is sung by Karen O & The Kids.

Now i’ve been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide come in to take me home
I get scared, and I’m sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song…

Maybe one day you will understand
I don’t want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
Till that day just please don’t be so down
Don’t make frowns, you silly clown

Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies

Song: “Folding Chair” by Regina Spektor

“Baby close your eyes until tomorrow,
It could bring joy it could bring sorrow,
But it will come sure as light,
Try not to dream a dream tonight,
Imagine that you’re standing here,
And suddenly you disappear,
A thread cut with a carving knife,
That is what they call our life.”

“Prospective Love Song Version 2” featuring Jasondroid.

As promised, here is a re-recording of the song I wrote. Jason’s guitar skills and singing are much much better than my own. We got sick of trying to record a perfect version, so this was the best out of the lot. Excuse the awkward pauses.

I like this song as a duet with this strumming pattern, it gives it a happy, upbeat feel, wouldn’t you agree?

A song that I wrote instead of doing uni assignments.

(I may upload a better version at a later point, but this is the first recording I made of it)

Metric - Help I’m Alive

If you’re still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn’t I do?
I get wherever I’m going
I get whatever I need
While my blood’s still flowing
And my heart still beats…

I can’t wait to get my hands on the new album. The whole album can be streamed from their official website.

Stars, On Peak Hill

“You’re gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Like the time I was five at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away”
