Separate Ways
by Teddy Thompson
"And I don't care about you
If you don't care about me"

This song was in the soundtrack of My Best Friend's Girl and it totally blew me away. His voice is absolutely gorgeous. I sure do love haunting voices like these. I wish I had more to say about this but I know virtually nothing about him or the song and to be honest that is probably the best way to listen to a song. All I will say is that this is basically Indie music - acoustic guitar, beautiful male vocals. The lyrics are quite harrowing but in a passionate way... so that makes up for it. If you don't go and listen to this, you are wasting your life. Seriously.

I Wish I Was A Girl
by Counting Crows
"And I'm going down to Hollwood
They're gonna make a movie from
All the thing they find crawling round my brain"

Would you believe me if I told you that I chose this song for the song and not for this fan video I found? I know I wouldn't believe me. But it's true, all the same, heh. I really love the accent in the vocals in Counting Crows. To be honest, this is the only song other than Colourblind that ever really caught my attention. I quite like the lyrics in this one.

And just because I can't finish this blog without mentioning it; Katherine Moennig is hot.

Hey
by The Pixies
"If you go, I will surely die"

I've been listening to Wave of Mutilation a lot recently and this song popped up in 'Zach and Miri Make a Porno'. And it was so well placed. And ever since I can't really get enough of this song. I associate it with real tension now. Yum. I wish I had more to say.

Sunglasses At Night
by Tiga and Zyntherius
"I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes."

I stumbled accross this one back in the days of sitting in front of the music channels for hours at a time. I'm not sure what I was drawn to but I absolutely love this song. Something tells me it probably wasn't the song that caught my attention though. This track has a real Depeche Mode/ New Order feel to it. I really love the old electronic goth stuff you used to get. There's not much of it around now. It's all underground. Having said that, Marilyn Manson is around but he's a bit too heavy for my electro-goth tastes.

Bleeding All Over You
by Martha Wainwright
"Then my mind turns into my heart
And whispers into that dark cave
That I've been wronged"

I don't think I've posted anything off of Martha's newer album. To be honest, it wasn't as good an album as her first. I don't think this album was quite as raw as the first. But I think this song has a lot of feeling to it which is exactly what I love about Martha's songs. A lot of raw passion.

I really like the pity you feel for the character in this song... she really is a very pityful character.

Twist
by I Am Kloot
"Forget all about fact
"Evoke the rich tapestry of love and devotion,
Emote the sweet saccharine of all that devotion,
Forget all about that and fall in this ocean with me..."

I got into I Am Kloot after listening to From Your Favourite Sky in my step-dad's car. I love how broad the accent is. Phwoar. Anyway, I'm not really sure why I picked this one out of all of their songs. I think I have posted From Your Favourite Sky before. And I love Dark Star but that wasn't on YouTube. Um, but Twist is a pretty gross song really. It's got some hint at domestic abuse in it but then all of their songs have a certain darkness to them. Dark Star especially.

I love the tone to this.
