birds stil sing outside these windows

 

 "And the birds still sing outside these 

 These windows where we sat together

  Like nothing ever happened here"

these are the first sentences from the song everything by Ben Howard. Ben Howard really is one of my favorites, pretty awesome music combined with pretty awesome lyrics. The wolves is an other favorite of mine. well I guess I just love all of his music, he should make a new album.

 

I guess the reason that I have this lyrics project is for a bit to share my favorite music but for a bigger part to practice with my (poster) design skills. I like creating these images. all of them are pics form vacations or random walks assembled with a quote form one of my favorite artists. And even tough these are not my most popular posts I don't stop making them because it are some of the posts I enjoy most making. And that is what blogging should be about don't you think? sharing stuff you like creating or talking about.

sometimes the blues is just a passing bird

"Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me"

this is the refrain of the song "the dreamer" by the tallest man on earth. I love the tallest man on earth, his lyrics are great, his voice is rough, and his guitar sounds great. yeah he is one of my faforites. If you don't know him, give it a try. Don't be scared by his a little odd voice, once you got used to it a little, his music is beautiful.

I can make up my own nonsense, thanks a lot

This quote isn't an actual quote because it is what I heard however the actual lyric of the song. hehe but I do like the text so hooray to misunderstanding. And for the background image I tried the hipster triangle thing also notice the galaxy print in the sky.

If any of you want to participate on my postcard project, please do. I'd love to send you all a letter/postcard but I can't if you don't give me your address.

I can always be happy with you

"If you love me the way you say you do, 

I know I can always be happy with you"

~the wedding band~

the wedding band includes Mumford and sons and some of their friends. They made one EP called the first dance. I really love these songs. This one is called thumper. If you like Mumford and sons you should try this too. I really like she said yes too

Racoon

"Maybe I'm just a crazy fool
Who lives by a crazy rule
To bring happy thoughts
Happy thoughts to you"

That's one of my favorite quotes of them. And I've been to their concert, and it was lovely. The singer made some funny jokes like replacing the sentence 'happy thoughts to you' with 'cause happy thoughts are cool' and he told story's about the songs, par example he had bullied someone when he was young because he stuttered, and now his own son stutters, and he regrets that he bullied the boy, and wrote a song about it called better be kind.
here's two of my other favorite qoutes from racoon:
"Flowers pop out of the street, everywhere I place my feet"
"Please don't give up the fight, for no reason"
 "close your eyes you might see something beautiful"

 Racoon is a dutch band and they made 7 albums so far so there is much to listen. their big hit (in the Netherlands) is love you more, that's a great song. The pictures here are made by Tim, but edited by me. He did brought his camera and I forgot.

life's for the living

 

"Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead"

~Life's for the living by passenger~

Passenger is one of my new favorite artists. He has some really great songs and great lyrics too, like "I hate pointless status updates on facebook". I think that one to be funny. The picture is one I took in Rome, in the sunset sun on a bridge. enjoying the warmth of our last day in Rome. just like some other passengers did.

Life is a chance to enjoy the world

and you’ve only got one shot.
So you better give it all you’ve got.
~Roland Albertson~
The cool thing about Roland Albertson is that he makes music just for the music and so all of his songs are legally free downloadable here. I like 'no place like home' most. This lyric comes from the song 'to yourself'.

beauty and love

I really like this quote, just like I really like the song its from, Love Lust by King Charles. I song it a lot today. The picture I used is me and Tim in a meadow (including birds and cows). It was the first photo I shared on facebook of us. I faded it a lot and putted the quote in frond.

let's pretend like it's the weekend

let's pretend like it's the weekend now, And we could pretend it all the time. this is a piece of Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes. I really now the feeling of aw I really don't want to go outside (can't you see that it's just raining) lets stay inside and pretend like it's the weekend. But I never did, I always drive bravely through the rain to school.  yeah well...
anyway I really like the song, you should listen to it.
