Awakening | Safe & Sound

I want to write.

I want to write again.

I didn't have that feeling for so long. I nearly thought I would never be able to feel that again.

It is kind of spring. It's warm in the sun and cold when she is away. The sky is blue. Everything feels fresh.

I'm maybe going to write the next days. I'm ill and we decided that after two weeks of coughing I should stay at home to rest before Scarborough - where I will be in exactly one week! I can hardly believe that. It really seems like a dream.

But I also have to prepare a 30-minutes presentation about Hundertwasser for my Arts class ... 

And I'm obsessed. Tumblr makes me so. Everywhere there are Hunger Games. I'm sure I annoy everyone outside of tumblr with that. Well, they have to deal with it.

I can't get the lyrics of a song from the soundtrack out of my head. They're from "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift feat. Civil Wars. I don't really like Taylor Swift (and I don't really know if I like her know) but the song she created with John Paul White and Joy Williams is just wounderful.  I didn't think I would like it but I do. It's gorgeous and amazing.

And it's full of little hints to the story - and the video! If you read the book and look right, you can see in nearly every sequence a reference to the story. It has such a great concept.

Please listen to and watch it here. Here are the lyrics:

I remember tears streaming down your face / when I said, I’ll never let you go / when all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don’t leave me here alone / but all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight

just close your eyes / the sun is going down / you’ll be alright / no one can hurt you now
come morning light / you and I’ll be safe and sound

don’t you dare look out your window / darling, everything’s on fire / the war outside our door keeps raging on
hold onto this lullaby / even when music’s gone / gone

just close your eyes / the sun is going down / you’ll be alright / no one can hurt you now
come morning light / you and I’ll be safe and sound

just close your eyes / the sun is going down / you’ll be alright / no one can hurt you now
come morning light / you and I’ll be safe and sound

I also changed the layout of Monday Roses as you may noticed. It's a kind of a new whole way, inspired by this photo of vagiqua and the current layout of Little White Snow Owl. I hope you like to see it.

Although it sound impossible that I have reasons to - thinking of all the stuff I have to do - but I'm unbelievably happy right now.

Perhaps it's because I read The Hunger Games again.

Sample Post 2 - January 2012 Part 2

Florence & The Machine: What The Water Gave Me

video 

catchy tunes:

lay me down / let the only sound / be the overflow / pockets full of stones / lay me down / let the only sound / be the overflow

video: It's a typical Florence video: Not kind from this world and somehow lost in reverie - but it's one I really like (and I love the final from 03:33 on).


Fatboy Silm: The Joker

catchy tunes:

I'm a joker / I'm a smoker / I'm a midnight toker

 video: Well, for the first few seconds it's sweet but after a time it becomes too citchy for me. :)


Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Zero

video

catchy tunes:

shake it like a ladder to the sun / makes me feel like a madman on the run / find me, never, never far gone / so get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on // your zero / what's your name? / no one's going to ask you / better find out where they want you to go // try and hit the spot / get to know it in the dark / get to know it whether you're / crying, crying, crying, oh, oh / can you climb, climb, climb higher?

video: great - especially the moment at 01:00 


El Perro Del Mar: God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get)

catchy tunes:

you gotta give to get / you gotta give to get back / you gotta give to get /you gotta give to get back to the love

 video: looooooooooove! :D

Oh, I love this song. Not really because of the meaning of the lyrics but more likely because of this whole thing.

Relief

I finally solved my problem. After having it more than one year, they saved me after a talk about twenty minutes.
I love you two.

New And Old | I Follow Rivers

So, again a new design. And at the same time an old one because it's autumn again.
(I don't know wheather I like the new design. Maybe they're too much orange leaves.)

At this point I want to point the new header out. It's made by a very best friend of mine, I don't want to miss her. Sophia agreed to create a header by reason of this special time. She used textures by vikyvampirs90.


Yes, Monday Roses is older than a year now. One year of blogging started with one blog and ends with 3,5 blogs and an idea for number 4. Monday Roses, The World Through An Objective, Little White Snow Owl, a blog project. And something I need to do with all the photos I made in Arts.
I decided not to correct mistakes in old posts. Well, I mean, in some years - if this blog still exists - I may see any developments in using the English language.

The next time will be exhausting. My advanced courses 135 min exams have to be prepared and written. But in a month my normal courses exams follow and it will be dark again and I'll be ill and tired and the time will come I simply won't have any time to care about my blogs. But now, it's not difficult yet.

I want to speak about an awesome song.
Well, strictly speaking, I think I'm not able to do this because it meets my heart so hardly. I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li is just breathtaking. I can't find another word.
The instrument in the background which makes the rhythm is perfectly well. Her voice is indescribable.

I, I follow, I follow you,
deap sea baby,
I, I follow, I follow you,
not your money,
I follow you

Breathtaking.

The first trees have got yellow leaves. I've found the first conker.
I wish you all a great time.
