1000 ipod songs, one magical pause.

The music mesh.
Broken songs
tears wet; eyelash.
chimes ring, slash.
Broken, return
rebound by song.

I realized I haven't updated in a while but anyway.... Ihavemyreasons (awkward smile) While the notes were beating away in the depths of my brain, I began to watch and feel inspired. No promises here, just raw, lyrical song.

Artist: Jhameel
Song: How many Lovers



So, when I first heard about singer/ songwriter/musician Jhameel from an article featured in IndieShuffle, this was what happened :-

It spun endless dreams

Title: Eye of London
Artist: Megan Ong


The mechanics of it all
Wire, metal, raw.
Images in my mind;
Like a creeping paw.

Marred, scared into
see-saw motions in the sky
Spinning, dry ticks, time.

Let not your heart stay still
Move to the mechanical wheel.

Lifeboat : A memoir of the little toy boat

Title: Toy boats
Artist: Megan Ong

Hold on.
Boats they bobble,
Reak, the sea
Meak-less, gifted.
Vomit –free. They lie
in every sense.
invoking Memories.


Note: Just some inspiration from Megan Ong's work. A 2 am dream of traveling at sea, or just plain deliriousness.

TRIOMPHE! The crazy woman on the street.

Note: So, Megan Ong just sent me this last night and I think it deserves a huge, TRIOMPHE! (She actually stood in the middle of the street! (gaping awe).

Picture: Arc de Troimphe, Paris
Artist: Megan Ong


Piece by piece,
Victory!
Some distant sound of mockery.......

Piece by piece,
Maliciously.
Scenes turn slow, its really, sickly.

Walks behind, driven by
Reckless youthmindless fools!
Until they reached the test of time
Look now with an onward sigh.

Triumph, gone
Marred and born,
Look now, cars
 Redrawn.

Some spicy supper?

Artist: Mumford and Sons
Song; Winter Winds

Its a quater to three
And beneath these torn paper leaves
I see a million words
form alphabetical madness
Tear.
 I give in to wear
ToMorrow, why hello.

Note: Some night inspiration. Nostalgic music and just a little spice of tomorrow. Good morning world, I am going to sleep.

And on that starry night we saw. Plastic stars.


Unnamed and many they stood alone
Playing their own little unsung song
Some heard moans and silent hummms
Of cars and streets and plastic somes.





Artist: Carson Leong
Album: Friday Night (22/4/2011)
Note: Poem inspired by the playful use of lights and crazy juxtaposition! An apocalypse of plastic stars.

Let the words consume you.

Artist: Christina Perri
Song: The Lonely

Note: With lyric videos, all you see are the words. And sometimes that says it all.

And sometimes. There will be Magic.

Artist: The Sound Of Arrows
Title: Magic

There is something very intoxicating about electro-pop on a boring day. 
Being a dusty library, sometimes you need to create a little magic. 

Where I want to be RIGHT NOW.

Artist: Megan Ong
Title: And we spread ourselves in the radiance of light.
In calming waters the clarity of it all
as we sit and bask in the evening spread,
And you hang by the loose leaf threads
Spreading your wings against the beating wind.
Because. The feeling is endless

Note: This picture was taken on the 9th of June in Halskov, Sjalleland, Denmark.

I saw the stars tonight.


Artist: Megan Ong
Title: Adelaide: Night Lights
Wretched are those who see,
because in a heartbeat.
They will never see

Note: Looking at this picture made me think and have one of those thankyou moments. Thankyou. Because you have taught me to see. <<http://www.un.org/en/globalissues/disabilities/index.shtml>>

thirtyfour. Local flavor(s).

And I walked in and saw a swirl of colors. 
Blue, pink and a tinge of sallow red.
Confusing isn't it?
And the electric smell of leather
The twanging of sounds
of welding metal and gold. And silver.
and they sparkle, the gems do too.
And the shop keeper
who said. and said.
And then I understood.
I had just had a taste.
hmmmm... Local flavor.

Steps to accessory ecstasy:-
2. Browse for ultimate satisfaction.

Note: So I was window shopping (as usual) on a boring lazy afternoon with mumzie ( did I just say that?!) and I found this local store selling intricate bags and tags and crazy hand-made accessories. Artsy description? Well, kitschy with a touch of class.
P.S. This post has everything nothing to do with my love for studded accessories.
