Before you slip into unconsciousness
I’d like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss



The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We’ll meet again, we’ll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You’d rather cry, I’d rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I’ll drop a line

High Violet

It's in my honey, it's in my milk.
It's only my half of heart alone,
On the water,
Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy.
Cause I don't want to get over you.
I don't want to get over you.






The new album of the National, High Violet, takes my breath away. For example the song England..the piano and the feeling he lost today. Also the song sorrow is one of my favourites. I can't chose and cannot wait till see them play live. What would we be without music? I think cold, emotionless, bored creatures.

Spotify

We have got it in Holland aaaaaaaaaaaa
THE BEST THING for people who love music. You can find ANYTHING you want.
Who needs a DJ now..? ;)
I started with the soundtrack of 500 days of summer, although I've got all the songs separately haha

The band who first opened my eyes and showed me cheesy tunes and lyrics can be absolutely wonderful were Belle and Sebastian. I remember this roadtrip I made with a friend when I was about 15, in our discmans we had only two cds: Kings of Convenience and Belle and Sebastian.

I can hardly listen to their music without thinking about this first time away, on my own. That is a good thing, because the trip was the best. And the music is too.

Listen to THIS:

It's the best. My man went photographing them, and they are really nice people too. The video might be a little bit too stylish, but I love it. The music, the girls. Everything about it.

So put on your new dress, the shoes you never wear, over knee socks, and listen listen listen.

Music

Yesterday I went to the concert of my friends from Saelors. (last time I saw them was when this video was made, somewhere 2009 ).

To young to know what this is all about
To curious in life, to make yourself proud.

I am writing and working.
Also I really enjoyed reading this:

Het is genoeg geweest.

Diep van binnen ben ik gewoon een Franse mevrouw met rimpels, parels, een mooie blouse en een sigaret.

haha. 80s.

My boyfriend is a photographer and I am so proud of him. Look what he made today! I think this is wonderful and very Pink Floyd.

New York

I have been there twice. And like all the young, hip girls nowadays I claim that I will be living there one day. One day... One day, when I do have enough money. Or, more likewise, when the time is right to start my internship. I think I will try to fill out as many applications (think Guggenheim, the MoMa, the Met, etc. etc. etc.) as possible when I have to do my final Master internship. Or maybe sooner. I don't know if it is hard, I guess it is. Otherwise I will find a lovely small gallery where they need my help, I just have to! Like my friend did last year..her stories made me so unbelievably jealous.

New York is just fascinating me. The coolness of Williamsburg combined with the most upper chic Manhattan. You never know if that guy in his lumberjack outfit is just a lumberjack, or some famous writer. Possibly both.

There are millions of possibilities in the field where I am planning to work; the art world...tumtumtum. Young artists starting projects here and there, platforms open up every day and do not forget the number of exhibitions that open everyday. One better than the other, still it is happening. All day and night, people are inventing and working on the things they love most. Call me naive, that is really how I see it. One big city, filled with people full of dreams. It doesnt matter if they come true, as long as you try.

Like last time, I just bumped into a great band playing on Washingtonsquare. Later that night they were performing in Williams-burg in this adorable cafe. I have to say I really love the music scene over there. Grizzlybear, Department of Eagles, Lissy Trullie, to name just a few. Not to forget St. Vincent, most inspiring artist of the moment if you ask me. I am also quiet fond of the noise-scene, like Telepathe and These are powers. Although sometimes I do not fully understand the music...

So while I am at home studying and dreaming about New York there are a few things you can do. Read books about it, watch movies about it (or watch sex and the city/ gossip girl. to reveal my guilty pleasure...although gossip girl had this living room performance of Sonic Youth), or read blogs about it. One of my favourite blogs is the Diary of Terry Richardson. The photographer, accused of having sex with his models, photographs his New York (-cool) life in a way you almost feel part of it. Wandering trough Union square, the village and Brooklyn you can follow the (famous or not famous) people he meets, and the casualty about it.

Funny snapshots, taken during photoshoots, dinners, gigs and above all; walks through the city.

Live at Paradiso - Gilbird and Words by BirdontheWire

Live at Paradiso - Gilbird and Words by BirdontheWire

Two songs by my band Bird on the Wire. (recorded at our gig a few weeks ago at the Paradiso). --> due to the recordings my voice was recorded a little bit too loud. It will give you an impression anyway.

We recently wrote a really really good song and want to record it as soon as possible..demo/myspace quality..
Anyone interested?

How I Love my Freedom.

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroin/e

she is sublimation
she is the essence of thee
she is concentrating on
he, who is chosen by she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me
-
I love Patti Smith.
