15 lyrics for 15 days: Day 3: The saddest lyrics you know
It has to be a Darren Hayes lyric, but which lyric?
For the fact that I’m actually obsessed with Darren’s work with Rick Nowels, it has to be a B-side from ‘On The Verge Of Something Wonderful’ called ‘Ocean’.
It makes me cry practically every time.
“Only an ocean could knowThe weight of the world on my shouldersThinking of you, my loveI wish I could drown out emotionUntil only the ocean knowsWash me awayCarry my heart on an oceanLove has forsakenBeen taken to somebody elseI wish I could drown my emotionsUntil only the ocean knows”
all I’m saying is RELATE.
It’s a very dark place to go. and it’s a place you seem to often end up from wearing you heart on your sleeve. For giving everything you’ve got to someone, whom it turns out, didn’t deserve it.
Rick and Darren always seem to write THE most emotional songs. It’s a beautiful Song-writing partnership.

30 songs for 30 Days: Day 12 - A Song From an artist you connect to.
Day 12 was meant to be a song from a band you hate. There is no need for such a waste of words and negativity. so I chose to make it a song from an artist you connect to.
Coldplay - Fix You.
I’d liked coldplay for a while, my dad had their albums. I was obsessed with the scientist and it’s GENIUS video. it wasn’t until Darren Hayes posted the chorus from ‘Fix You’ in a blog post I KNEW I had to get this album, ‘X & Y’. I wasn’t disappointed. it’s still my favourite album of theirs.
The album was released at a difficult time for me. I remember one night packing for another stretch at uni, before I got on the plane and left my family behind for months again, and just crying:
“Lights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bonesAnd I will try to fix youTears stream down on your faceWhen you lose something you cannot replace”
that was a real RELATE moment.
The video for Fix You is genius, I wanted to be in that crowd. I always knew this song would be AMAZING live. I still have a dream to witness it one day.
In 2009 after a tour I sadly couldn’t get to, they released a free live EP ‘Left Right Left Right Left’. On it was a live version of ‘fix you’. It sounded just how I imagined. thousands of people singing it back to them.
Beautiful.

30 photos for 30 days: Day 13: A pic of your fave artist
Newton Faulkner.
Not my ultimate favourite artist, but an artist I LOVE and have travelled over 120 miles to go see. He is absolutely incredible. I’ve just got this amazing connection to him. I chose him because I wanted to talk about somebody different. and Newton certainly is different, but a genius. He’s actually really sweet and funny. I met him once. (He was impressed I’d stolen a poster off the door at a venue LOL).

30 photos for 30 days: Day 12 - A picture of something you love.
Every single time I walk down a train platform I grin the biggest grin.
The train station is the important part of the puzzle, the link: To freedom, friends, gigs, bands. ALL my favourite things.
This photo is Kew Gardens Tube station. It was taken with another love of mine, the hipstamatic photo app for iPhone.

28 August 2011.30 songs for 30 days: Day 11 - A Song From My Favourite Band Of The Moment
I’m a bit late to the party, it’s been out since April and it wasn’t until the first week of August I bought it.
I’d bought the single from it on itunes ‘jump into the fog’ in February, but it was a case of that thing I do, I ain’t buying an album based on the merit of one song, the minute I heard a second song from the album, ‘techno fan’ I was hooked.
Although I ADORE techno fan, the song i’m going with is 1996. I LOVE it.
“I had no cares in the 1990s,I knew of no downfalls…But my self belief, my self belief,Wasn’t scarred by the modern itch”

15 lyrics for 15 days: Day 2- The funniest lyrics you’ve ever heard
28 august 2011.
Not necessarily the funniest, but they make me laugh and smile. I damn well LOVE this band.
Snow Patrol - I Am An Astronaut.
“like a gorilla, he’s a real killer, yeah”
I remember the day I first heard this song. It was a b-side to ‘Open Your Eyes’. Back when CD singles still existed, I went and bought it on release day. I played it as loud as I could get away with in my parents kitchen in Ireland.
I always wanted to be astronaut when I was little. The universe fascinated me. It still does. What can I say, I’m a science geek. proud of it.
“I am an astronauti’m up among the starsi’m in a super time machineand i’m on my way to Mars”
