Moonface

Moonface (aka Spencer Krug, formerly of Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown) is minimal, stark, intimate on his new album, 'Julia with Blue Jeans on';

Moonface - Everyone is Noah, Everyone is the Ark



Everyone is Noah
Everyone is The Ark
Everyone has to build themselves up
When heaven's cruel

And everyone is Noah
Everyone is The Ark
Everyone has to gather the souls around them
To feel useful, and loving, and loved

And everyone is Noah
Everyone is The Ark
Everyone ends up talking to the sky
Or looking the elephant in the eye

Pearl Jam - Sirens

Loving the new Pearl Jam album, 'Lightning Bolt' :)

Pearl Jam - Sirens



Knowing that nothing lasts forever
I didn’t care, before you were here
I danced in laughter, with the everafter
But all things change, let this remain

Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me, next time?

For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To see you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand

Oh,  it’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get over
When by the graces, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders

Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
I studied your face, the fear goes away, the fear goes away, the fear goes away.

Wombats

Can't get this out of my head, so posting it here ;)

Wombats - Your Body is a Weapon



Your body is a weapon, love
and it makes me wanna cry
My body is a temple of doom,
Doomed not to be by your side...

Tu Fawning - Anchor

Ok, this song is old as the sea. 2012, imagine that. We old ones nod sagely while you kids pause for an instant in your racket and are awed by its sheer beauty. Mind the lyrics, do you ever?
