music, books, love and kindness

One of the best things to hit my e-mail inbox each week is Amazon's free download newsletter with the latest on music releases and free downloads


A really great MP3 sampler (free!) is Projekt: Afar. Some wonderful stuff is on here including a haunting song that could have come out of the best part of 80s new wave: "The Ice Garden" by The Twilight Garden....

An incredible digital album with almost every one of the songs a winner, including "The Future" by The Limousines (who sound a lot like Passion Pit...which is a good thing!)



But the absolute best song on Experience Music is the super catchy sing-it-in-your-bathroom-while-you're-brushing-your-teeth...it sounds so bouncy and upbeat until you really hear the words:

I’m gonna let you down
Gonna toss you around
Gonna make you want everything you haven’t found
I’m gonna hold your hand
Then ask you to stand
Ten feet away

Oh it’s just like you said
I live in my head
I’m saving up all that I have ‘til I’m dead
It’s always the same
And never the same way

But oh if you don’t want me though
I’ll only want you more
I fall in love with hard to get
You know you’re just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
A virtual reality

I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me

I am taking up space I’m right out of place
I’m holding a half-hearted smile to your face
It’s pretty enough but watch out it fades away
Time is ticking so fast
Does anything last
Soon I will be just apart of your past
I’ll leave you with this
You hold on in blissful memories

Oh if you don’t want me though
I’ll only want you more
I fall in love with hard to get
You know you’re just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
A virtual reality

I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now

Now that you can see
I’m not, not what you make of me

I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now
Talk about intimacy and commitment issues...a powerful pop song!!!
