This life I've made on my own, it's lonely with the love I've known

I've long been a fan of Holly Miranda. Her album 'The Magician's Private Library' is an album I rate highly, solely because it constantly moves me to move; and as a dancer, this is something I prize very highly from a musician.
I love this song, and am choreographing to it at present. This version doesn't give full scope to the song (in my opinion), but the gypsy violin is gorgeous, and I think her vocals here (live), are sublime.
I recommend the album for any little neuvo-folk freaks out there; it's very lovely.

So...Let's talk about Feist.

I bought her new album today. Like, I actually said to myself; 'You must have this immediately' and then I went to the MUSIC STORE WHERE THEY SELL ALBUMS AND I BOUGHT IT.

And...it's freaking amazing.

Feist and I have had a long and loving relationship. She's never let me down. In fact; she's shared innumerable baths and 'bedtimes' with me. She's my girl for heartbreak/heartache/'what the hell is my heart doing'?/'I'm in love'/'I'm scared to death' etc etc etc.

I backed my car out of the driveway earlier tonight, and heard the first notes and lyrics of her new album; and it was gorgeous. I can't recommend it highly enough. This woman knows what she's singing about.

'It's you, it's you, it's all for you'

New favourite song ever. I've played this video repeatedly since I discovered her fifteen minutes ago.

But when I crawl into your arms, everything comes tumbling down

This. Is beautiful. Reminds me very much of my first date, on and around, the steps of the Opera House.

Oh Wow.

This is so beautiful :)

The video is rubbish, and Urge Overkill should feel bad about themselves for doing it. But...the song is awesome. His voice is gorgeous, and I love it.

Silent

I think I'm ready now

Seems like everyone does a cover of this song. And this is by far my favourite. Way to go to make something as haunting as possible.

kd for President

If I ever met her, I'm pretty sure I'd do something completely creepy... maybe even worse than what I think I'd do to Nick Cave if I ever met him. Nothing violent or agressive; just something socially mortifying from which I would never recover. Who wouldn't?! It's kd Lang!!!

It's hard for me, but I'm trying

Dear Midlake,
Please make a video for this song. Please.
Love Rianna.

You'll be Tough to Replace

Spent many an existential crisis listening to this. Especially out the back of the family ranch; on the trampoline, with cigarettes and my faithful hound. My little dog, Bearsy, would cough at the smoke; but she stayed with me while we played this song on loop, and counted the stars, and dreamed about what we would do when we were 'well' again. I always believed it was written just for me. I still do.

A song for my... lovers...

I Love Lykke Li

Man On The Moon

So cool.

This gorgoeus woman has some serious pipes. Love this song; soundtrack for my new feather-fan routine.

This was playing today. All day.

Happy Birthday Mum!

Rianna and Mum circa late 80's/early 90's (actually anytime this song came on the radio), driving in the car... I loved how you would turn it up and toss your head around and belt this out! No one rocks a pixie cut like you, no one dolls-up like you, and no one can touch you for being properly and truly wonderful. I love you Mum!!
