PART OF THE OCEAN

“And when the universe has finished exploding all the stars will slow down, like a ball that has been thrown into the air, and they will come to a halt and they will all begin to fall towards the centre of the universe again. And then there will be nothing to stop us seeing all the stars in the world because they will all be moving towards us, gradually faster and faster, and we will know that the world is going to end soon because when we look up into the sky at night there will be no darkness, just the blazing light of billions and billions of stars, all falling.”

It wasn’t meant to be. You’re not missing out. Your life has different plans for you.

no offence but when girls stop you mid sentence like “okay sorry but… (insert compliment that makes you feel great all day) …anyway, continue!” > every single song a man has ever written about a woman

Welcome to your 20s, where it seems like everyone except you is doing everything they're supposed to be doing.

Her hair type is type 4C. Yes. That is all her natural hair. No extensions, no weave etc. No they are not dreads. This is a braid out. Her name is TK Wonder. She’s black. And she’s from Baltimore.

bonjour! since i started teaching myself french a few months ago, i thought it would be a good idea to immerse myself by listening to some french music. a lot of french music, actually. here are some of my favorites! (requested by @athenastudying)

cœur de pirate 

my absolute favorite french artist at the moment! her songs are more on the melancholy side, but they have a lovely vintage vibe. also her music videos are v creative so definitely check those out as well! faves: crier tout bas, adieu, ensemble

indila

i’m not usually crazy about indie pop in english but I love indila’s music in french! her songs have a good beat and i often find myself belting out her songs during my solo dance parties. oops. faves: dernière danse, tourner dans le vide, sos

stromae

stromae’s music is actually one of the things that inspired me to start learning french!! his music is a blend of hip hop and electronic, which isn’t usually my thing, but i absolutely adore his music. faves: papaoutai, tous les memes, alors on danse

mika

his songs are super catchy and upbeat! i listened to “boum boum boum” for the first time (w the music video) when i knew about four words of french and ended up thinking it was about guns? (spoiler alert: it’s about sex), but i still love it. p sure these are his only two songs in french but i have played them on repeat more times than i care to admit. faves: elle me dit, boum boum boum

fréro delavega

i only discovered their music recently (Fréro Delavega is a two-man duo), and it took me about 0.3 seconds to fall in love with their songs. their songs have a lot of great harmony, and they’re lighthearted and fun to listen to. faves: mon petit pays, ton visage 

joyce jonathan

another recent find! i like to play her music on my phone when i walk to school in the mornings because it’s p relaxing. faves: je ne sais pas, ça ira

édith piaf

i practically grew up on edith piaf, even before i started learning french properly. her music is wonderful and definitely classic. faves: la vie en rose, a l'enseigne de la fille sans coeur,  non, je ne regrette rien

+more

i love these songs, but i have yet to listen to more music from these artists! they’re still fantastic

badaboum / buridane  coups et blessures / bb brunes  l’air de rien / margaux avril  les jours electriques / jenifer  on trace ma route / christophe maé  on ira / zaz  on ne vit qu'une fois /  sidoine  sur ma route / black m  tombé sous le charme / christophe mae

au revoir + shoutout @ciralism​ for recommending coeur de pirate to me in the first place!! xx

[successinfrench]

if you want, there’s also - bb brunes - indochine - louane - brigitte - christine and the queens - soprano - noir désir - shy’m - damien saez - julien doré - kyo - M - kendji girac

and if you want to listen to older artists, you should listen to : - françoise hardy - jacques dutronc - francis cabrel - jean jacques goldman - charles aznavour - telephone - renaud - johnny hallyday - daniel balavoine

they are all very different artists and they’re all good in their own way, i hope they’ll help you learn french better (;

[studyplants]

thank you so much @successinfrench! i will put these on my list ♡

ALSO here are some 8tracks resources if you want to listen to a wider variety of songs in french!

my 8tracks

cool playlists / un  / deux / trois / quatre / cinq / six

god whenever i see those jokes that are like.. “haha lads we put glasses on the floor at the MET and everyone thought it was art jokes on them” jokes on you bitch! you put something out there in a context of display + consumption of art and people took it seriously because that is what the social etiquette of galleries impedes the viewer to do and you drew a response and reaction out of them and then thousands of other people by laughing at them. you made art bitch. you simulated the experience then proved your own joke with you as the punchline bitch. not the viewers.
