Music!

I posted these songs to lunatunes earlier today, but they lock their posts, so I am also sharing it here. The theme was 'Your Top Five Songs At The Moment'.

1. Head Automatica - Please Please Please (Young Hollywood)
You lick the hand that feeds you,
And kiss the blade that cuts.
I wanna fuck you in your god's hands
When your praying bites the dust.

Utterly trashy, cheesy club music, and yet I Cannot Stop Listening to this song. Seriously. Send help.

2. Lamb - Bonfire
Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do.
Just burn like a good bonfire,
And I know you'll come through.

Slower, but very intense, trip-hop song.

3. Rufus Wainwright - Everybody Knows (Cover)
Everybody knows that you love me baby,
Everybody knows that you really do,
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Give or take a night or two.

This is such a bitter, cynical song; I have no idea why I find it so fun. I much prefer this cover to the original.

4. Eliza Carthy - Rolling Sea
Oh, the wars will soon be over,
And the sailors all come home.
Every lass will get a lad,
She won't have to sleep alone.

From the Rouge's Gallery CD, a collection of traditional sea shanties and pirate songs, performed by modern musicians. This is my favorite song off of it; it's excellent to sing along to.

5. Iron & Wine - Gray Stables
Brave lady,
I could see you through the mosses,
Laid, shameless in the sun.
My lady
With her porcelain and her weightless face,
Pleasing everyone.

A gorgeous, slow folk song. All of Iron & Wine's songs are lovely, and often sad, but this is my current favorite.

OH, I have a song I need to finish don't I?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ha! If you'd like to, yeah, though I wasn't trying to remind you.

Well, you shoudl be relieved. I almost suggested I write one about you, but I thought you might be aghast.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. I might be embarrassed or blushing, but hardly aghast. But if you write it for Alec and Richard instead, a lot more people would be interested.

well, bewarde scary voice posts from New Orleans then. One never knwos what could delveop on either front.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ha! I feel like you should be writing blues songs, or jazz, in New Orleans instead of sea shanties. Though I suppose they probably did have their share of pirates.

But hardly scary! You're a wonderful singer.

[rm.livejournal.com]

New Orleans has pirates and duelists. Also, jazz is beyond my skill I'm thinking.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Which is why it's an awesome city.

The image of Richard singing a blues song, with those little blind sunglasses, is kind of cracking me up. In a terrible, terrible way.

DO NOT TEMPT ME.

I have to say this shorter black hair thing doesn't just have Snape applications.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Oh, if you do, you have to send me photos!

That would be the whole point, i think.
