    It's a good thing... and we all need more of it!

    "Hope" is the thing with feathers—
    That perches in the soul—
    And sings the tune without the words—
    And never stops—at all—

    And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
    And sore must be the storm—
    That could abash the little Bird
    That kept so many warm—

    I've heard it in the chillest land—
    And on the strangest Sea—
    Yet, never, in Extremity,
    It asked a crumb—of Me.

    Summertime Clothes by Animal Collective...

    Cool video and song appropriate for summer in PA.

    Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
    Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and
    A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
    My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
    Soak my head in the sink for a while
    Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
    My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
    You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
    You slide down your stairs to the heated street
    And the sun has left us with slippery feet
    And I want to walk around with you
    And I want to walk around with you
    And be here with you, we're goin'

    It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
    Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
    I point in the windows, you point out the parks
    Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
    We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
    Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
    Walking around in our summertime clothes,
    Nowhere to go while our bodies glow
    And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues
    With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon
    And I want to walk around with you
    And I want to walk around with you

    When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
    Don't cool off, I like your warmth

    Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
    It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
    It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
    Kissing the wind through my window screen
    The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide
    So much on my mind that it spills outside
    Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?
    Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
    And there's no one pushing for a place
    As we end up at an easy pace
    And I want to walk around with you
    And I want to walk around with you
    I want to walk around with you
    Just you, just you, just you...


  • Midlake - "Head Home" Final Version

    Rated Apr 30 2010 2 reviews ecommerce, video youtube.com

    Nice tune by Midlake.. Head Home. Have you heard of them?

    No-one seems to be around today
    They must've all gone off without me again
    I think I'll head home

    Maybe I'll find them gathered 'round my doorstep
    Oh, to sleep in a comfortable bed
    I think I'll head home

    No-one seems to be around today
    They must've all gone off without me again
    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home

    Bring me a day full of honest work
    and a roof that never leaks
    I'll be satisfied

    Bring me the news all about the town
    How it struggles to help all the farmers out
    During harvest time

    But there's someone I'd like to see
    She never mentions a word to me
    She reads Leviathan

    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home

    Bring me a day full of honest work
    and a roof that never leaks
    I'll be satisfied

    Bring me the news all about the town
    How it struggles to help all the farmers out
    During harvest time

    But there's someone I'd like to see
    She never mentions a word to me
    She reads Leviathan

    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home

    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home
    I think I'll head home

    LOVE this song.... Snow Patrol's Just Say Yes....

    I'm running out of ways to make you see
    I want you to stay here beside me
    I won't be ok and I won't pretend I am
    So just tell me today and take my hand
    Please take my hand
    Please take my hand

    Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
    It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
    Only love

    It's so simple and you know it is
    You know it is, yeah
    We can't be to and fro like this
    All our lives
    You're the only way to me
    The path is clear
    What do I have to say to you
    For Gods sake, dear
    For Gods sake, dear
    For Gods sake, dear
    For Gods sake, dear
    For Gods sake, dear

    Just say yes, just say thereā€s nothing holding you back
    Itā€s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
    Only love

    Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
    For the touch of your warm skin
    As I breathe you in

    I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
    This was all I wanted, all I want
    Its all I want
    Its all I want
    Its all I want
    Its all I want

    Just say yes, just say thereā€s nothing holding you back
    Itā€s not a test, nor a trick of the mind
    Only love

    Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
    For the touch of your warm skin
    As I breathe you in

    The Moon Was But a Chin of Gold


    The Moon was but a Chin of Gold
    A Night or two ago--
    And now she turns Her perfect Face
    Upon the World below--

    Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde
    Her Cheek a Beryl hewn
    Her Eye unto the Summer Dew
    The likest I have known

    Her Lips of Amber never part
    But what must be the smile
    Upon Her Friend she could confer
    Were such Her Silver Will

    And what a privilege to be
    But the remotest Star
    For Certainty She take Her Way
    Beside Your Palace Door

    Her Bonnet is the Firmament
    The Universe Her Shoe
    The Stars the Trinkets at Her Belt
    Her Dimities of Blue
