The Great Escape

   Patrick Watson – The Great Escape

Hey child, things are looking down.
That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways.
Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don’t let yourself fall down.

Her Morning Elegance

Her Morning Elegance, Oren Lavie.

This wonderful video for this o.k. song puts me in such a good mood… but makes me want to stay longer in bed. It’s cosy being lazy sometimes and feeling the sun coming in with no rush.

Since I can’t find the proper words lately, I’ll borrow them from someone else…

On Beatbeat Whisper:

“Within such a controlled space, the voices of siblings Ayla and Davyd Nereo bounce like those of rare conservatory birds against the walls and through the vacuum tubes. It is sweet folk music.” ~ Tiny Mix Tapes.

It’s a big world, baby, and you’re little

Animated lullaby for Renee & Jeremy ‘It’s a big world’

It’s a big world for every little thing.

This lullaby for children brings me back to innocence and daydream. It feels good and lovely. Yes, I want naivety. It makes me smile.

Another World

I need another place
will there be peace?
I need another world
this one’s nearly gone.

Lonely Drifter Karen sound like cabaret, fantasy, innocence and daydream.

To know more from this band based in Barcelona, PopMatters says it all, and I subscribe to all their praises.

Sometimes being too good doesn’t help. Actually, it meant a lot that he was left as a loser in Eurovision. When the “enemies” swear at you, it means you’re doing good.
