i’m not sure where my head and heart are today. i haven’t been able to write anything much lately. i’ve just been posting a bunch of music and art because i can’t get anything out on my own. i did write this the other night as i drove down to costa mesa before heading to vegas. it was just such a perfect moment..
-it smells like summer outside. like fresh cut grass pouring through my windows. like sun soaked dew covering the seats of my car as i drive down this open highway. like long crop sprinklers stretching out across fields of green corn. and all i want is to reach out and grab your hand so we don’t miss one single second of it.-
i’m obsessed with foxes right now. like, actual foxes. i want to own one. maybe name it august. or niles. i can’t get certain songs out of my head. i want to lay on the sides of green hills. i want to annihilate myself with things that make me feel alive. i think if i looked inside my head right now my brain would be splattered all over the insides of my skull. i’m learning everything. i’m growing a heart. i’m in love with everything.
and it’s wonderful.
and then i discovered these beautiful human beings:
angus & julia stone. yea, and they had to be two of the most gorgeous looking people on top of it all..
paper aeroplane//angus & julia stone
holey moley. i am in love with this man. dent may has opened my mind and redefined the term ‘nerd cool’ in a way that that makes me feel pure happiness and joy. this guy is a crooning ukulele lounge singer and he’s not afraid to embody everything about that persona. you can tell he doesn’t take himself too seriously, but he asks that you take him seriously. and the thing is, you do. and his songs are more than enjoyable to listen to because he’s really good.
looooving it.

ellie goulding, where have you been?! this english singer/songwriter debuts her first album, lights, today. not to mention she took on covering bon ivers ‘the wolves’ and pulled it off GD beautifully. good good stuff here people.
well. here it is. i wish this was better, but i think i’ll get better with time. i want a better voice. a more unique one. but since i can’t get so picky just yet, this will have to do. i’m sorry, bon iver, for falling short of your glory. but lets be honest, who can come close? at least i make up for it with weirdness, right? what.. i wear a coon hat and paint my face every day. actually, this is just what i happened to have on when i decided to record this. handle it.
love.
i drew this yesterday. i’ve realized that maybe i do this too quickly with people. but i also realize that it’s because i want to fall in love with everyone. and all the time. what am i to do? but i’d take a few more punches just for that moment of feeling like my entire body’s been pumped with sunshine, and my hearts just ready to explode.. and its just bursting and bursting and bursting.
also, listen to this song by king charles and have your heart grow and die all at the same time. love.
beating hearts//king charles

you may recognize him from sigur ros, but front man jonsi has gone solo and created some of the most gorgeous things i’ve ever beheld. thank you for existing, jonsi.
jonsi//go do
i want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
