Sweeping wind that haunts the night

Adam Barnes- Come Undone

It finally felt like Spring was on it's way on Tuesday and then it rained again. And possible snow in London on Monday...no thank you.

This song however makes it feel like Spring. It's hopeful and makes me optomistic for the future. It's all I can be as I'm never with Greg and it gets me down a little bit. I'm just waiting for Easter break and summer when we can spend as much time with eachother as we can. It's going to be fantastic. 

I first heard about Adam Barnes through Green Man voting system for an act to open the stage. He's gone from strength to strength and this EP is fantastic. Very uplifting and just what I want from an acoustic sounding album like this.

There's never time to save

Gary Jules-Falling Awake

Occasionally, very occasionally, I just feel like a good cry and enjoy songs that make me feel like I want to cry. Not an emotional cry out of personal sorrow but just general release of emotions. Of course there are certain songs that I associate with moments in my life and they're sad for a completely different reason and this is not what I'm looking for right now. I have no idea why this song is sad but it's the tempo and the chords and the length of the song all together. Along with the hopeless sound in his voice.

Gary Jules-Falling Awake

"You never get to choose, you live on what they sent you"
"And that's just the way it goes, falling awake"
Makes me feel like there's no point in striving for anything when he sings it.

In spite of real distance we'll always be close

Keaton Henson- Sarah Minor

This is rather fitting isn't it, yes you're the other side of the world but I love you.

Sarah Minor

His haunting, soft, vulnerable yet powerful voice is not what I need right now, I feel like I'm about to burst into tears and I don't think I could deal with someone breaking my heart.

How we feel is hard to fake, so let's not give the game away

Gabrielle Aplin- Please Don't Say You Love Me

I love this girl, her voice is magical and so touching. Not my usual thing but she's original and I love that.

Gabrielle Aplin- Please don't say you love me

This doesn't apply to me fortunately and I couldn't be happier about it.

"Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that"

Maybe I didn't tell you

Keaton Henson

This man is the most emotional person I've ever heard (I think)
My favourite poem I've ever read is this one by him:

Grow Up With Me

Lets run in fields and fear the dark together

fall off swings and burn special things

and both play outside in bad weather

Lets eat badly

lets watch adults drink wine and laugh at their idiocy

lets sit in the back of the car,

making eye contact with strangers driving past

making them uncomfortable

not caring, not swearing, don’t fuck

Lets both reclaim our superpowers

the ones we all have and lose with our milk teeth

the ability not to fear social awkwardness

to panic when locked in the cellar

still sure theres something down there

and while picking from pillows each feather

lets both stay away from the edge of the bed

forcing us closer together

Lets sit in public, with ice cream all over both our faces

sticking our tongues out at passers by

lets cry

lets swim

lets everything

Lets not find it funny lest someone falls over

classical music is boring

poetry baffles us both

as nothing that’s said is what’s meant

plays are long, tiresome, sullen and filled…

with hours that could be spent rolling down hills

and grazing our knees on cement

Lets hear stories and both lose our innocence

learn about parents and forgiveness

death and morality

kindness and art

thus losing both of our innocent hearts

but at least we won’t do it apart

Grow up with me.

I'm frightened by the devil

James Blake- A Case Of You

Still can't get over how beautiful this version of this song is. Really hits me very deep every time. He's playing in Bristol tomorrow night and if my bf isn't going I will be bitterly dissapointed.

James Blake- A Case Of You

"You told me life was touching souls and surely you've touched mine"

Singing through the windows, singing through the trees

Passion Pit-Constant Conversations

Good old Passion Pit can always be relied on to produce something a little bit strange! And they haven't disappointed, this is a little slower than I imagined as I heard the remix by Little Daylight first and got accustomed to how fast it was but the original is more heartfelt for sure. You feel the emotion and reading the backstory you understand the song more.

"Now I'm drunker than before babe, told me drinking doesn't make me nice"
