Bev Lee Harling-Barefoot In Your Kitchen

I found her while I was searching on YouTube for some new tunes. I clicked the play as soon as I saw the thumbnail and read the title of her song. Her name Bev Lee Harling,her style uneasy to categorise. She uses the "Junk Swing" genre title. What's pretty cool is the fact that she performs live using chopping boards,cheese graters,glass orchestras,colanders and a dog bowl.
With a sense of 50s coming along with her vocals. You will find exclusively her lyrics for "Barefoot In Your Kitchen" here.  Have a chance to listen to it and know about her. 

Barefoot In Your Kitchen
Music and Lyrics: Bev Lee Harling

Some people do it slowly
Some people do it fast
Some like the preparation
Some like the cigarette last

Some like to do it alone
Some like it for two
But I like to do it for many
That’s why I’m barefoot in your kitchen
Cooking for you.

For some its all about the presentation
For some ingredients are the key
And some are looking for that momentary sensation
And some are just looking for company

Some rely on the herbs and spices
And some rely on the freshest of food
But if I’m left to my own devices
Then I’ll be barefoot in your kitchen
Cooking for you
Cooking for you, you , you
Cooking for you
Cooking for you, you, you
Cooking for you

Some need a sweet aroma
And some need a friendly hand
Some like to know the farmer
And how he tends his land

Somebody said everything in moderation
Somebody said too many cooks will spoil me
But when the mood takes me
I’ve just got to kick my shoes off
And get Barefoot in Your Kitchen
Barefoot In Your Kitchen
Barefoot In Your Kitchen
Barefoot In Your Kitchen

Cooking for you
Cooking for you, you , you
Cooking for you
Cooking for you, you, you

Angus Stone & Soko- True Colors

Angus Stone and Soko are doing one of the greatest covers I have heard for "True Colors".  So much electricity between them two. So much love coming out from their words... So have a listen and watch all the powerful emotions in this video from their live performance at MyTaratata.com. 










SoKo feat. Angus Stone-True Colors

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Though I realize
It's hard to take courage,
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it
And the darkness, inside you
Makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colours,
True colours, ooh are beautiful like a rainbow.

Show me a smile,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear,
Just call me up,
Cause you know I'll be there


And see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours,
True colours are beautiful,
Oh Like a rainbow

Show me a smile, (show me a smile),
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear,
Just call me up,
Because you know I'll be there

Such sad eyes,
Take courage now,
Realize

When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colours
True colours, true colours

Are shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid; just let them show
Your true colours, true colours
True colours are beautiful,
So beautiful, like a rainbow 

Passion Pit-It's Not My Fault,I'm Happy

I believe the lead vocalist of Passion Pit is coming from Greece. Though the music style of their songs have nothing to do with greek music, as most people know it. Michael Angelakos formed this band in 2007 and at the moment their new album "Gossamer" is out, with dreamy tunes in it. I hit the play button as soon as I read  the title,
 "It's not my fault,I'm happy".  Have a chance to listen to it and read the deep and sharp lyrics here.

Passion Pit-It's not my fault,I'm happy


Sorry I couldn't be there, I was tied to a rocking chair 
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere 
If you knew, if you saw, you'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore 

But there is no easy way to tell them so, the things you know 
And run they say, they think they know exactly so 

It's not right, it's not right 
How am I the only one who sees us fight? 
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers, we don't stand a chance 
So long you stay around, you’re just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care 

It's funny that being funny makes you feel like up and running 
When your past lingers like rain clouds, casting shadows below 
I could live with so many burdens, I'd take all your hope and yearning
But there’s no one I'd let take me for their petty little woes

I used to glow, once I had a love to show, a love they know
They're slow, so slow that they never know where I go

It's not right, it's not right 
How am I the only one who sees us fight? 
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers, we don't stand a chance 
So long you stay around, you’re just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care 

I know that it's only something 
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault, I'm happy 
Don't call me crazy, I'm happy

It's not right, it's not right 
How am I the only one who sees us fight? 
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers, we don't stand a chance 
So long you stay around, you’re just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care

Cider Sky-We Are In Love

A Cider Sky is that breathtaking moment when the Sun takes a 
bow and wishes goodnight to the day. Simon Wilcox and Shridhar Solanki met in London by accident. But it was a beautiful accident and another chance meeting in Los Angeles led to the creation of their critically acclaimed single, 'Northern Lights'.
Here you can listen and read the lovely lyrics of
 "We are in Love".

Cider City- We are In Love


You say you spent your summer in the rain
Driving up the coast i felt the same
colour me in grey until i saw you
just another day until i saw you

it doesnt matter if the stars forget us
it doesnt matter if the world dont know our names
it doesnt matter if they talk about us
it doesnt matter cause we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love

every color in the world is in your eyes
and everywhere you look you shine a light
hollow as the night until i saw you
i came back to life when i saw you

it doesnt matter if the stars forget us
it doesnt matter if the world dont know our names
it doesnt matter if they talk about us
it doesnt matter cause we are in, we are in love

we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love

is it real or are you joking
its not true until its spoken now
say the words if you dare to know them
say the words if you dare to know them

we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love
we are in, we are in love

Little Comets-Bridge Burn

Little Comets are an indie rock trio from Jarrow and Newcastle-upon-tyne. They are described to play 'kitchen sink indie' music. In early 2009 the band were signed to Columbia Record and released their debut album In Search of Elusive Little Comets on 31 January 2011. The band released their second album Life is Elsewhere on 15 October 2012.Here is the first song I've heard by them and fell instantly in love... Listen to the song and read the lyrics here.

Little Comets- Bridge Burn

The shore, the shore, it is a metaphor
for every moment that has ever passed between them
the way, the rays, repeat upon her face
It’s their monotony, she says, "We need to bridge burn…"

We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn

"Shukran! Shukran!", he whispers to her hands,
and sees his future in the beach outstretched before them
the way, the waves, wash empty words away
is opportunity, he nods, "We need to bridge burn…"

We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn

But I could tell you that it means so much
to look in your eyes, to look in your eyes
and I could tell you that it‘s not a crutch
to look in your eyes, to look in your eyes

We need to bridge burn, bridge burn

So now her heart, a mirror from the start
evacuates the empty space that grew between them
he holds, her near, the sun a souvenir
a final time to reminisce before they bridge burn

We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn

We need to bridge burn, bridge burn

Florence & The Machine-Heavy In Your Arms

They became famous after doing the cover of "You've got the Love". After that their name is found next to the most positive reviews. The harp gives the sense of a fairytale in the songs but the lyrics can only haunt you down. Florence & The Machine are here to stay.  Heavy in Your Arms is, in my opinion, the best example of what I've said before.  Read the lyrics and watch the music video here.




Florence and The Machine-Heavy In Your Arms

I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced to crown.
I was a heavy heart to carry My feet dragged across ground And he took me to the river Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet My love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall
I'm so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms I'm so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms
And is it worth the wait All this killing time? Are you strong enough to stand Protecting both your heart and mine?
Who is the betrayer? Who's the killer in the crowd? The one who creeps in corridors And doesn't make a sound
My love has concrete feet My love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall 

Jessie Ware-Wildest Moments

Jessie Ware is 27 from UK. You could easily compare her style with Sade's.  Smooth voice with power music in the background.  Her first solo album   "Devotion" gave to the audience some serious reasons to love her.
"Wildest Moments" is the latest video clip of her. The simplicity of it can only make you listen to the deep meaning lyrics.
You can read the lyrics and watch the music video here.

You and I, bloodline,

We come together every time

Two wrongs, no rights,

We lose ourselves at night

From the outside, from the outside,

Everyone must be wondering why we try,

Why do we try

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the worst of all

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the worst of all

Oo-ooh. Oo-ooh. 

Wait on, thunder sky,

Wherever there’s smoke, there'll soon be fire

What could bring bad luck,

I’ve been looking at you too much

From the outside, from the outside,

Everyone must be wondering why we try,

Why do we try

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the worst of all

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the worst of all

In the middle of it,

We walk, we walk the line

Looking back (on the set)

Our wildest moments

Are you thinking what if,

What if we ruined it all?

My wrecking ball

From the outside, from the outside,

Everyone must be wondering why we try,

Why do we try

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the worst of all

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the greatest, we could be the greatest,

Baby in our wildest moments,

We could be the worst of all

Read the lyrics and listen to it here. 

I wanna go where we can go to the place where we are
Where I said I love him
And I gotta see if I can really breathe in a room with a view
Of the ones that are leavin'
And I wanna hear what you really feel when you fear
Oh, wake up in the darkness of the days
And I wanna see in the heart of me you're mine
Am I giving it all away

I wanna live with you in California
I wanna live with you in California
I wanna live with you in California
And we'll try to be kind

I wanna know what you should know, show me the light
Inside our, our truth
And I wanna see if you believe in me
Well I believe in you

I wanna live with you in California
I wanna live with you in California
I wanna live with you in California
And we'll try to be kind

I wanna live with you in California
I wanna live with you in California
I wanna live with you in California
And we'll try to be kind

And we'll try to be kind
And we'll try to be kind
And we'll try to be kind
And we'll try to be kind

This is the brand new song by Angus Stone.  Nominated for two ARIAs,his new album is recently released under the title "Broken Brights".  Read the lyrics and watch the just-published video clip for "Monsters" here.

Billy was a train driving man
He went from one side to the other side of town
He went to bed with the light on
He went to bed with the light on

Ride on

He found his struggle with the wind
Something he never came to understand
He felt lost in the dark
Even when there was someone, he felt apart
Alone,Alone,Alone
Cause in the dark
There's monsters, they cry alone
They're waiting
For you to come along and play
For you to come along and play

He made his way to the liquor store
Couldn't help but notice the man at the door
Yeah he did, he caught his eye
He said "Sir, please a nickel, before I die."
Alone,Alone,Alone
Cause in the dark
There's monsters, they cry alone
They're waiting
For you to come along and play
For you to come along and play
And play
For you to come along and play
And play
Cause in the dark
There's monsters, they cry alone
They're waiting
For you to come along and play
Cause were monsters at heart
At heart, at heart
There's monsters in their hearts
Their hearts
For you to come along and play
And play
For you to come along
And play
Billy was a train driving man
He got lost, some place in the wind
