Song Of The Day!

Seeing as we're pretending that I posted the Matt Corby song yesterday, this is today's song of the day! I looove Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools and can't stop singing it, D E N A reminds me of some sort of European M.I.A. The music video is really cool too, it's set in a market and gets everyone involved. Looks like it would've been insanely fun to make. There is something about her that annoys me intensely... Perhaps her chains and overly 'urban' swag she's got going on that make it look like she thinks she's the shit. ANYWAY, props to her. It is a very catchy tune.

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 

Cash, one thing I got in the hood, 

Diamond rings I don't need them, 

All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 

Sun is something that is here not, 

Walking in the cold and imagine that it's hot. 

Winter's too long and summer's too short, 

Nothing in between, I'm always wanting more. 

Hanging here and wishing to be there, 

Ending up with not really being anywhere. 

I know that the grass is always greener on the other side, 

Nothing I can do about it when I'm not satisfied. 

2 x Hook: 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 

Cash, one thing I got in the hood, 

Diamond rings I don't need them, 

All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 

 

If you're listening to this in a hot country 

Please come rescue me, I'ma give you what you need. 

I will bring my friends, we're just about twenty, 

If you got a swimming pool, then we can be hanging. 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 

Cash, one thing I got in the hood, 

Diamond rings I don't need them, 

All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools, 

Cash, diamond rings, swimming pools... 

All I want is chill, all I want is chill, 

All I want is chill and all I want is chill, 

All I want is chill, all I want is chill, 

All I want is chill with my friends by the swimming pools. 

P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to bring you the correct lyrics to this song. The only submission elsewhere I found thought she was saying 'If you listen me in the half country' instead of 'If you're listening to this in a hot country'... You're welcome!

Song Of The Day!

We'll pretend I posted this yesterday, because I may have forgotten...
I did blog about Matt Corby ages ago, basically ranting about how sex oozes from every inch of his surface area. This definitely has not changed and I get to see it in person because I'm going to see him live in Leeds in November!! I am incredibly excited, I will probably be weeping in the first five minutes...
This song, Big Eyes, is my favourite Corby tune at the moment. The acoustic loveliness of Matt Corby's and Bree Tranter's voices together with the dulcet tones of Matt's guitar soothes my soul. If this song was a river, it would be made of chocolate and I would happily drown in it.

Blackout the light,

Maybe you're tired fall

Or stone cold. 

You fumble and fight 

With all the time you spend alone. 

Cause it's only fair, 

It's love and war, 

And darkness is all you'll ever know 

If I don't love you more. 

Keep in your cage, 

Withered by ageing eyes and skin. 

You call this your home, 

A colourful dragging dried up drone. 

Cause it's only fair, 

It's love and war, 

And darkness is all you'll ever know, 

Oh darkness is all you'll ever know, 

Darkness is all you'll ever know 

If I don't love you more. 

Loveless sorrow kindly borrowed, 

Only thing my soul's now hollow. 

Loveless sorrow kindly borrowed, 

Only thing my soul's now hollow. 

Cause it's only fair, 

It's love and war, 

And darkness is all you'll ever know 

If I don't love you more.

Song Of The Day!

Since it is technically the next day, I'm going to go ahead and post this now. A warning - I barely slept last night and was throwing up for most of today so I am currently in a sort of half alive half dead state. Likely to be making loads of mistakes and also talking quite a lot of shit. Anyway, I found this tune (can't believe I didn't know it before??) a second ago and thought I'd spontaneously blog about it, because its slow, bassy underwater-ness is very appealing to my current state of mind. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and it won't sound as good? It is a risk that I'm willing to take. Enjoy:

Song Of The Day!

I wasn't actually the biggest fan of Frank Ocean before I heard his new album but it is guuurrddddd. SO my song of the day today is my favourite song from that album, Bad Religion. It reminds me of Prince at the beginning and I love the bitonality (yeah, that's right) at 1:18.

Taxi driver,
Be my shrink for the hour,
Leave the meter running,
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna,
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me,
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me.
If it brings me to my knees,
It's a bad religion.

This unrequited love,
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult,
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup,
I could never make him love me,
Never make him love me,
Love, love...

Taxi driver,
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives.
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise,
I can't trust no one,
And you say "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me,
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me.
If it brings me to my knees,
It's a bad religion.

This unrequited love,
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult,
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup,
I could never make him love me,
Never make him love me,
No, no.

It's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you,
Only bad,
Only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do.
