I've got high hopes baby But all you do is take me down to depths that i never knew

Artist- Kimbra
Song of the day- Cameo Lover

This weird spring weather in Chicago has confused my body in not having the winter blues (which I didn't realize I was having till I stepped outside today). Each moment the lovely breeze (and not horrid ice wind) hit me I suddenly became excited by life and the prospects of riding my bike to friends house, strolling by the lake, going to outdoor concerts and bonfires and then I had to snap my body back into reality. That sadly this wasn't the beginning of spring and fun again, but creepy global warming weather and the probability of it snowing later in the week. Spring and fun times seem so far away at the moment. Yet this happy feeling came again when discovering that today's artist will be touring with Gotye which ensures not only seeing perhaps the up and coming hit song of the year performed live, but also getting to see my new fav artist and what will be not just a great dancy show, but might be the concert to see this year. Perhaps I'm speaking to soon, but do keep an eye on these Australians. And if you're feeling anything like I am in the midst of winter gloom, a cameo of happy fun times might just be the ticket to get us to spring, so open up your heart and let her pull you out.



This is nonstop baby
You've got me going crazy
You're heavier than i knew
But i don't want no other
You're my cameo love
Only here for a moment or two
You stay inside that bubble
With all of your trouble
In your black hole
You turn from the skies
You dance with your demise
I'll be here when you come home

We've all gotta break down
Let me come and break down with you

Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

I've got high hopes baby
But all you do is take me down to depths that i never knew
You've got two arms baby
They're all tangled in ladies of the black skies posing blue
Let go of your mother
And turn to your brother!
Not a long gone lover's noose
Sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking is leaving pieces behind you

Oh we've all gotta get by
Let me come and hold you high, with you

Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

Open up your heart to me!
The sun won't shine if you're not looking
Baby love is all that you need

When everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open, open, open

Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart
Open up your heart and let me pull you out

Open up your heart! Open up your heart
Open up your heart! Open up your heart
Open up your heart! Open up your heart

I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible

Artist- Robyn
Song of the day- Indestructible

I've felt a bit ambivalent about continuing my blog having hit my goal of a year of songs. But several people have asked me about keeping it going, even if it is every once in a while, so I figured my birthday was the perfect time to kick off a new year of musical (and my probable psychological rambles) goodness! I needed the perfect dance beat for my big day which could only be provided by Robyn. She can not only mix excellent lyrics with dance beats, but performs them with a full orchestra at a peace conference. If there was any way to bring peace to the world, a good dance song just might be it. So here's to another year older and the hope of indestructibility...

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!!!
Having gone through 365 songs with me I thought I'd reward you by creating two sweet playlists so you can reflect on sweet jams that got us through the year. Just copy and paste the links if you have spotify!
One is for your holiday delight:

The other are the rest of my collection (minus those not found or locked up by spotify):

I'm going backwards through time at the speed of light
I'm yours, you're mine
Two satellites
Not alone
No, we're not alone

A freeze-frame of your eye in the strobelight
Sweat dripping down from your brow
Hold tight
Don't let go
Don't you let me go

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultramagnetic
Not again it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

Hands up in the air like we don't care
We're shooting deep into space
And the lasers split the dark
Cut right through the dark

It's just us we ignore the crowd dancing
Fall to the floor
Beats in my heart
Put your hands on my heart

And I never was smart with love

I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultimate
Not again it's taking over
This is hardcore
Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultimate
Not again it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultimate
Not again it's taking over
This is hardcore
Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultimate
Not again it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible
