Happy Halloween! Spooky by Imogen Heap

Here's a good song for your chill Halloween get down sesh:

play me.

Imogen Heap is awesome.  

And she's such a good performer!  

go see her in concert if you get the chance.

Lyrics

In the cool of the evening

When everything is getting kind of groovy

You call me up and ask me

Would I like to go with you and see a movie?

First I say no, I've got some plans for tonight

And then I stop and say all right

Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you

You always keep me guessing

I never seem to know what you are thinking

And if a girl looks at you

It's for sure your little eye will be a-winking

I get confused, I never know where I stand

And then you smile and hold my hand

Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you

Spooky

If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing

I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be saying

Just like a ghost you've been a-haunting my dreams

But now I know you're not what you seem

Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you

Spooky

Ahh, ahh, spooky, mmm, spooky, ahh, ahh, ahh, spooky, ooh, spooky

Ahh, aah, aah, spooky 

Billie Holiday by Warpaint

Warpaint is so cool. 

Check out this song and love it as much as I do.

Rosyln by Bon Iver and St. Vincent

I still don't really understand the Twilight phenomenon... 
what's the big deal with vampires, anyways?  

I guess if I took the time to read the books, I'd feel differently (or so the crazed fans say.)  

Regardless of how you feel about the Twilight series, the New Moon soundtrack is phenomenal.  

As usual, the geniuses at Chop Shop Records supplied us with another kick ass playlist.

Today's song is one of my favorites off the album and really deserves a good listen.

Bon Iver & St. Vincent - “Roslyn”

Lyrics:

Up with your turret
Aren't we just terrified?

Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find

Don't let it fool you

Don't let it fool you...down

Down's sitting round, folds in the gown

Sea and the rock below

Cocked to the undertow

Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node

Wings wouldn't help you

Wings wouldn't help you...down

Down fills the ground, gravity's proud

You barely are blinking

Wagging your face around

When'd this just become a mortal home?

Won't, won't, won't, won't

Won't let you talk me

Won't let you talk me…down

Will pull it taut, nothing let out

Little Secrets by Passion Pit

Something about this song makes me so happy!   Passion Pit has a way with that kind of thing... Sleepyhead was my jam last spring... now Little Secrets is a faultless pick-me-up!


Listen to track on HypeMachine!

Lyrics:

when i came down the dawn poured into me
i shook em up, the walls came crumbling

my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds

my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb

now painting rainbows on my ugly face

i built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace

but i ascend and serve my feverish need

within the confines of such chemistry

its the way i see

everything i need

its no way to be

let this be our little secret

no one needs to know were feeling

higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me

up and up i keep on climbing

higher and higher and higher

my face blew up at such a casual sight

this miracle is of ecstatic fright

theyll rush above me to oblivion

outlining white sidewalks with halogen

oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong

how come it takes some people so damn long

he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain

the citrus drawing out the seasons stains

watch the basin drain

as your life lines wane

and you cant explain

as your friends complain

youve caused all this pain

and you proudly shame

your whole families name

let this be our little secret

no one needs to know were feeling

higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me

up and up i keep on climbing

higher and higher and higher

mother i can tell what youve been thinking

staring at the stars on your ceiling

thinking once there was a power that you were wielding

and now ive hit the mark

staring at the dark

and i cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

let this be our little secret

no one needs to know were feeling

higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me

up and up and keep on climbing

higher and higher and higher

LYRICS:

I’m running out of ways to make you see

I want you to stay here beside me

I won’t be ok and I won’t pretend I am

So just tell me today and take my hand

Please take my hand

Please take my hand

Just say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you back

It’s not a test, nor a trick of the mind

Only love

It’s so simple and you know it is

You know it is, yeah

We can’t be to and fro like this

All our lives

You’re the only way to me

The path is clear

What do I have to say to you

For Gods sake, dear

Just say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you back

It’s not a test, nor a trick of the mind

Only love

Just say yes, cause I'm aching and I know you are too

For the touch of your warm skin

As I breathe you in

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt

This was all I wanted, all I want

Its all I want

Just say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you back

It’s not a test, nor a trick of the mind

Only love

Just say yes, cause I'm aching and I know you are too

For the touch of your warm skin

As I breathe you in
