Foals - Late Night

Artist: Foals
Song: Late Night
Album: Holy Fire
Year: 2013

"Oh, I hoped that you were somebody, someone I could count to pull me to my feet again when I was in doubt..."

"And I know the place but not the wave, I feel, I feel no shame, oh now Mama, do you hear my fear? It's coming after me! Calling out your name! Calling out your name!"

*A COMMENT: I just can't get enough of this song, it's been on my playlist of one song for the whole week. The build up is just killer, it's like this rush flowing through your body, you get the chills and your nipples end up poking a hole in your shirt. Just one "complaint", the solo, they could have gotten more out of it, but I guess it suffices.

My interpretation, right off the bat, is that something is haunting you, but then you find this shelter in someone and suddenly what haunted you is gone, but the sole thought of that someone leaving is terrifying, creating some kind of dependency.

Stars - The Ghost of Genova Heights

Artist: Stars
Song: The Ghost of Genova Heights
Album: In Our Bedroom After the War
Year: 2007

"He hoped to be remembered as the one, who told his men to turn back and go where we'd begun, roses are the flower he would prefer, scatter all his ashes on the pier..."

"You did wrong what you thought was good, now you're back in the neighborhood, I always see you when I never should, now you're back in the neighborhood..."

*A MEANING: The story behind this song is that about this guy who recruited guys for the war, which one? I don't know, but a war, but all of the sudden he thought: "fuck this shit, I'm not going to do this anymore", so he decided to take all the guys he had recruited to some kind of building but then they were caught and killed. 

To cut a long story short, he returned as a ghost to haunt his ex-lover and scare the shit out of her because she probably had a new one.

The Vaccines - A Lack of Understanding

Artist: The Vaccines
Song: A Lack of Understanding 
Album: What Did You Expect From The Vaccines
Year: 2011

"It's only been a year but it feels like a lifetime here, how's it been for you? Does it feel like a lifetime too? What would you do now in light of it all? I don't regret it in spite of it all, if I can't convince you then nobody can I guess..."

"I've got too much time on my hands but you don't understand or you won't understand..."

*A COMMENT: A bit less in fact, but almost a year. Anyhow I was checking some photos and I began thinking 'How in the fucking hell?' 'Seriously?' 'No fucking way', and all kind of  disbelieving questions and expressions. Then a memory of a wasted chance came to mind, the time I could have kissed her, but I was too dumb and I didn't, seriously it was such a no-brainer. Why that memory? I don't know, but it constantly haunts me. In my defense, if there's any, I was hiding a lie, protecting the plot. Yes that must have been it.

But let's not digress. The main topic here is how the hell she ended up with the guy she ended up with...  Bah!

Frightened Rabbit - Nitrous Gas

Artist: Frightened Rabbit

Song: Nitrous Gas

Album: Pedestrian Verse

Year: 2013

"I'm dying to tell you that I'm dying here..."

"And if happiness won't come to me, hand me the nitrous gas... Leave the acute warm heartedness, go where the joyless bastard is, he's dying to bring you down with him... Suck in the bright red major key, spit out the blue minor misery, I'm dying to bring you down with me..."

*A GREETING: Well, first of all I would like to say hi and then list a few things I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for being healthy, for having my parents, for my having my grandparents, with their ailments but still rocking, for being able to run, for being able to listen and play music,  which is my greatest passion. 

And in general, I'm grateful for a bunch of things and even though sometimes I don't acknowledge that, I am. It often comes to perspective. However, I'm not even close to being, what you can call, truly happy. Sure, today is all glitter and best wishes, but tomorrow it's likely to be just like yesterday, or like 5, 7, 9 years ago and I can't seem to solve that equation, time won't stop and I'm older now.

Again, it all comes down to perspective, that's why I like the idea of this song and the nitrous gas. Who knows, maybe tomorrow my perspective will have changed,  if not, there must be a "nitrous gas-ish" solution.

Anyhow, THANK YOU ALL!

Kashmir - Seraphina

Artist: Kashmir

Song: Seraphina

Album: E.A.R.

Year: 2013

"Then I was at your funeral with my best friend, at a dive bar in your neighborhood, where all good things come to an end, he told me over and over again 'listen man it might be hard to understand but don't mourn the dead, celebrate the life they gave'"

"I replied: 'isn't it a shame that we have to go away when there is still so much that we never got to say?Wouldn't it be nice if we could continue to the end of the universe and beyond?'"

*A COMMENT: They are back and this is out tomorrow. What I'm hoping to happen is that it is released in my country tomorrow as well, but to be honest that would be a bit unlikely, but you never know they are pretty popular in Mexico, so I'll keep on hoping, it would be a nice birthday present.

Here are the studio version and an acoustic one. I got to say that the acoustic one is superb.

"One more day is not enough to change the world, but we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun one day is not enough to change, but we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun..."

*A QUICK ONE: I was going to write a reflection about, well, regarding something I do understand and at the same time don't, I mostly don't, but I'll leave it for another day. In the meantime I'm going to write about shit and stuff. 

First, let's talk about shit or in other word, feces. LOL, just kidding, I'm not writing about shit and stuff.

Song: Ms

Album: An Awesome Wave

Year: 2012

"The dark seeks dark, the dark seeks dark, darker, darker... The nights of all my youth pressed into one glass of water..."

"Some things lie too deep for tears to well..."

*A QUICK ONE: I might as well just post the whole album as I utterly love it. The sounds in it touch musical fibers in me that make me just Ufffff! Eargasm. About the meaning it hints that is about a couple that can't stand each other anymore and divorce/breakup is a latent option.
