DARK ART OCTOBER APPROACHES

Prompt me prompt me prompt me prompt me~~!!!

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] schwarzbrille~!

List 7 songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to in absolute random order.

With bonus explanations! >D

1. "Life Is Like A Boat" - Rie Fu (The first Bleach Ending)
It was sheer fluke I caught Bleach on TV one night when it was on (as my brother tapes it for us har har) and as I watched the ending it just caught me - Rie's voice is beautiful and so clear and the way she switches from English to Japanese so flawlessly? My God! Love love love.

2. "I Won't Say I'm In Love" - Meg from 'Hercules'
Shuttup. I had a mad splurge in downloading Disney songs one night and I remember Lillybet playing this in her house one night and I love Hercules - really really do. Even though I've only seen it, what, twice? But I loved this song and the muses and there's a bit where Meg *growls* "Get off my case" - oh! ^_^ Also, she's strong and she realises how stupid it is to fall in love and she's so cynical - how can you not love a song like that?

3. "Our Love Goes Deeper Than This" - Duke Special feat. Neil Hannon
It's all strings and melodrama and the Duke's voice plus Neil's? My god, it's like an aural orgasm. The video is also made of full fucking win as it's all Vaudeville and mock 20's black-and-white heavy lighting, extravagant dress. Plus there's a dancing crocodile. Yes. I meant that.
I know that I should lose her now
It's true, I don't deserve her
And though I love her 'til I die
I know that I must leave her

She said, "No, (no) - our love goes deeper than this."
She said, "No, (no) - our love goes deeper than this."


and

Even though there's poison in every kiss
She said, "No, (no) - our love goes deeper than this."


You know you want to ask me for the mp3. You know you do!

4. "Through Your Eyes" - Nina Kinert
This is a sweet little easy-listening guitar song that's used on a car ad - I think it's Saab? It's a song you listen to sitting with a friend in the grass, watching the clouds pass overhead before pulling them up and going running downhill - laughing and joking and enjoying being young.
"All the time I waited here for you
All the time I stood here holding dandelions and chocolate for you."


5. "Save Me" - Jude
It's Jude. It's the only track I have from "Redemption". It's Jude. there is no other reason. Obviously made of win.

6. "Canopies And Grapes" - Emmy the Great
I heard Emmy on a music channel with this amazing haunting song called "Easter Parade" that I haven't been able to get anywhere and then found her on Myspace. Then I searched for tracks of hers and downloaded this. And it's a relationship that's gone wrong and you can't get over it and it ended badly and you're making it worse by not letting go but you can't and you make all the mistakes you swore you never would but then you get strong again.



I wanna see you tonight -
What's the point? All we do is fight
I've loved you so long
I don't know who I'd be without

My head hurts - I wish I'd never woke up
I feel worse than when S Club 7 broke up
I hate the day,
It hates me, so does everybody else

I sit here drooling on my own again
and like a routine episode of Friends
What does it mean to be American?
Is it feelings, coffee and 'I'll be there for you?'

Later on, me and a bottle will hook up to have some fun
Then I'll call your house at twelve to let you know that I'm drunk
Say, "I'm sorry Mr C, I was just looking for your son
How are you, incidentally, do you know if he's out alone?
There is this book he lent to me something like seven months ago
I'm gonna burn it in the street be so kind as let him know
that I'm dealing...with this badly
and could he please get back to me?"

Since you've gone my only friends are Billy Bragg and the Jam
Though my time with you has got me feeling oh so k.d. lang
I think you're right about the New Kids on the Block
And I agree now Billy Joel does not rock
Wish I could tell you all the things that Woody Allen helps me see
How Annie Hall is starting to seem quite a lot like you and me
It took a while to come around to David Bowie's new CD
And it's much too late to give back your Magnetic Fields EP
Can I keep it by my pillow?
Fucking loved it - how I long to tell you so

When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and grapes
And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape
I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for months
If tomorrow is the funeral do you think that you could come?
I could give you back your music and your t-shirts and your socks
Walk to Jazz's house in SOHO, cry into her letter box
Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul
Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow
Teach the mattress to expel you from its folds
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion makes me strong
Until one day I realise I don't remember that you're gone
We'll be strangers, who were lovers
I'll recover...
It's so weird how time goes on


It also reminds me of Rose after "Doomsday", which I still haven't seen but I know I still think of her after it. I've heard people complain that she get's softer in Season 2 but this song - this is her. She's stronger than anyone thinks and she bonds with Sarah Jane for a reason - there is life after the Doctor and she'll find it.

When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and grapes
and wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape


Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul -
Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow -
Teach the mattress to expel you from it's folds
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking 'til the motion makes me strong
Until one day I realise I don't remember that you're gone.


Ouch. But amazing. You know you also want to ask me for this. >D

FINALLY

7. "Where Gravity Is Dead" - Laura Veirs
DOCTOR WHO SONG. Also a Rose or just a general Companion song - I know that's silly. But it's lonely and space! and you watch him torture himself and you want him to stop -

But doesn't it get lonely riding up there to the sun
On a single raft for one?
Don't you wish for someone to pull you on a string
Down from atmosphere
Down into a clearing to kiss and box your ears?


As the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] shaggydogstail would say "emotionally constipated aliens" - what do you do with them?

Those are my songs!
