Lyrical Construct

The songs in my head becoming the poetry of my thoughts.

This is Paradise

And I didn't think I would stay for this And I didn't think I would go And now we're alone in the atmosphere And I'm fading Here we are.

I was born a southern son In a small southern town where the rebels run wild They beat their chest and they swear: we're gonna rise again It should have been different, it could have been easy The day that old Warren died, hate should have gone with it But here we are, caught in the wildfire

Wildfire, Mandolin Orange

And weeks went by but felt like hours

And they say, time forever favors the young.

I want to fly and never come down

And live my life. And have friends around. Missing friends today.

[lyricalconstruct]

You belong to a simpler time

I’m a victim of the impact of these words.

[lyricalconstruct]

Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic.

Van Morrison

Guess I was just born on the wrong planet

I've been drinking up on the sweet tea It was made just for me I've been ramblin' I'm just driftin' I've been rollin' down on the good stuff Past the roads I can see, oh babe Lead me back to the one I love All the roads lead to me I've been movin' I'll be driftin'

"Glass" by The Half Earth // Glass - Single (2014 // Download via Soundcloud)

It’s always difficult to write about a new artist without a very big internet footprint, but sometimes you don’t really have to write anything at all. I’ll keep it simple. The Half Earth hails from the UK (Sheffield to be exact) and is the brainchild of musician, Conor Stephenson. “Glass” is his newest single (his first official?), and it’s a dark, emotional, slow burn that builds from sparse guitars to textured atmospherics that feel like the sudden rise of a thunder storm from just over the horizon. It’s mesmerizing stuff - hypnotic and heavy but fragile and spacious. Highly recommended for fans of Esben & the Witch, Zola Jesus, and Chelsea Wolfe.

House on a Hill, Swept Away

And oh you're just like a muscle And oh you cut it with a knife And oh you're bald like a tendon  And oh cut it with a knife

And oh you're just like a blood bank And oh let it drain And oh split like a muscle And oh cut it with a knife

Got my Sunshine, I'll Get By

Sun came up today and it burned my blues away.

Wind rose up today and it blew my blues away.

There has not been a minute of having this tattoo that I don’t feel the music in it every time I listen to Robyn.
