Will Young-Losing Myself

We need to talk about Will Young. This man won the Pop Idol once in Britain. After that, he stated that he is gay and that he'd never hide his sexuality. To me, that makes him even more badass. His last album "Echoes" is full of masterpieces. The first song that I got into is "Losing Myself". Excellent music video and meaningful lyrics. You could get depressed if the music was acoustic, thankfully it's electro-pop and trust me that's a good reason to love it.  Watch the music video of "Losing Myself" and read the lyrics here.

PS. Super awesome insanely directed music video.

Will Young-Losing Myself

I'm stepping on troubled times
There's something that's on my mind
If you knew what I knew then you'd want to go
I'm looking for a way out

I really don't know how, please won't you tell me now
Why I'm losing myself again
I seem to go nowhere, please won't you tell me yeah
Why I'm losing myself again

Keep walking to my own beat
It's hard to be out of the scene
Don't you know all these people
They stick to themselves
And no-one's allowed to evolve

I really don't know how, please won't you tell me now
Why I'm losing myself again
I seem to go nowhere, please won't you tell me yeah
Why I'm losing myself again

You knew what I had to lose
You knew what I had to lose
You knew what I had to lose
You knew what I had to lose
And I'm losing myself again

Keep losing my, keep losing my
Keep losing my, keep losing my
Keep losing my, keep losing my

You knew what I had to lose
You knew what I had to lose

I really don't know how please
Won't you tell me now
Why I'm losing myself again
I seem to go nowhere please
Won't you tell me yeah
Why I'm losing myself again

Why I'm losing myself again
Why I'm losing myself again
Why I'm losing myself again
Why I'm losing myself again
Why I'm losing myself again

You knew what I Had to lose
You knew what I had to lose
You knew what I had to lose

Little Comets-Friday Don't Need It

Let's talk about the "Little Comets".   We did it already once in the past and you can read what we wrote here . Today that is Friday, I can't think of anything better than their double-meaning song "Friday Don't Need It". If you ask them what their music is about, you'll get an answer close to "upbeat music with kinda sad and melancholic lyrics".This is exactly why I said that this song has a double-meaning inside. You can listen to "Friday Don't Need It" and read the lyrics here.

Little Comets-Friday Don't Need It


Oh oh,
But now my feet don't touch the floor,
Oh oh,
Leaves me yawning,
For Saturday morning,

Show me romance and I'll dance on a Friday oh ooh,
Put back some grace and I might show my face on a Friday,
Fill me with virtue and I might revert to a Friday,
Just give us a chance and we'll prance on a Friday,
Oh oh, oh oh, oh ooh,

So you got Friday,
Don't need it, don't need it, don't need it,
You got Friday,
Don't need it, don't need it, don't need it,
Because Friday,
Don't need it, don't need it, don't need it,
You got Friday,
Don't need it, don't need it, don't need it,
Because.

Ooh ooh,
Ooh ooh,
Ooh ooh,

Tell me, tell me quick,
Tell me quick.

Chris Hurn-Whatcha Got

Chris Hurn-Whatcha Got

it's too easy to tumble on yourself
comforting to hang on to old books on the shelf
with easy destinations, without weary knees
everybody knows what it looks like
but how does it feel

(instr.)

you give me wrongs
get you rights,
tell me everythin' you need
but you just dont know
whatcha got

well you're busy flippin' papers thinkin' over what you're makin'
thinkin' over what you're not
it's your disease of the soul
chippin' your mind of control
well these bones are for breakin'
livin' underneath your clothes
you got it all, you got a lot,
more than most people ever come to know

you give me wrongs
get you rights,
tell me everythin' you need
but you just dont know
whatcha got

(bridge)

you give me wrongs
get you rights,
tell me everythin' you need
but you jus don't know
whatcha got

Before the needle hits the sun
when you're countin' every step til the day is done
take your time, take it slow, drink your wine
well use your hands, use your eyes, hold someone

you give me wrongs
get you rights,
tell me everythin' you need x 3
but you just don't know
whatcha got

oh you just don't know whatcha got
mm you just don't know whatcha got
oh you just don't know whatcha got

Russian Red-Conquer The World

Russian Red is the stage name of Lourdes Hernández, an indie-folk songwriter and singer from Spain. She sings all her songs in english and she has been compared to Feist many times.

Russian Red-Conquer World

We were so young,
but life is a murderer.
We stayed very long,
but light is a vanishing hope

I had in mind
to conquer the world by your side

Conduct very stranly
'cause heaven's in danger for you and the rest.
It's all true if we die I lose.

I had in mind
to conquer the world by your side.

TV Girl-Baby You Were There


Sorry if I was misleading
It's not the color of your hair or the clothes that you wear.
Baby, you were there

Oh, baby, you were there
Baby, you were there
Baby, you were there
Oh, baby, you were there
Oh

It is what it is and that's all it'll be
We're just wasting time so it might as well be me

You can call it anything you wanna
Just press this ...

Pay no mind to your apathy.

Oh, baby you were there.
Baby, you were there
Baby, you were there.
Oh, baby you were there.

This band is a collectiva of talented musicians from every music area, such as indie, folk, rock, pop, disco etc. Leon was born in UK to greek parents and this was the main reason to explore Greece, especially the traditions and the music.

Leon-The Real Elevator


Talking about the real thing
the real elevator

Up,up and down
we are laughing through our tears
Bodies shaking,bodies making
love in crazy tempo

Up,up and down
we are laughing through our tears
We re the pretty monsters on the bicycles

A big storm begun
and the junkies try to find a hole
we don't shoot 
but we are junkies too you know

Rain,rain stardust
from the skies to the cities cages
rain pretty balloons
going down to the lonely empires

Wake Owl-Gold

Meet the "Wake Owl", an indie-folk-rock band by Colyn, Aiden, Josh and Andy. They are coming from Vancouver and recently they made a buzz after their song "Gold" was featured in Grey's Anatomy. I don't know if the title of their song is a sign, even if it's not I am pretty sure they have some things to show us and maybe it's a good time to start listening to them. Their debut EP "Wild Country" has a few treasures in it... let's explore! You can watch a cute, vintage music video of "Gold" and read the lyrics here. 

Wake Owl-Gold

So, didn't you find love or salvation in what they do.
A heart is built of gold, the fairies they are too,
it's in the hands you hold.

How long can we ignore,
we build a little more,
and then we break our truth.

Oh oooh...

I don't feel like I'm falling,
I'm up against the sky,
I said I'd taken it all in to make the good life.
I don't feel like I'm falling,
I'm up against the sky,
Let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light.

But I cannot turn around,
the angels hear me now,
go where I'm bound.
You smile like you know,
the new world has been found.

Oh, oooh...

I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
I said I'd taken it all in to make the good life.
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
Let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light.
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
Let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light.
