Marina and The Diamonds

An inspiring female artist who is not afraid to share her individuality. She is unique and her personality definitely contributes to her voice and depth in her writing. Her newest album, Electra Heart, has been on repeat in my house.

In these moments...

it's apparent through the looks and the silence;

the words we're both trying to keep inside.

Why does it have to be a game of hide and seek?

We both know how we feel, but have lost the ability to speak.

The look might be all we need,

our own language and the mystery.

If one of us says it, we'll be in more deep.

But let's forget about this game and one's pride to keep.

I'll unveil my emotions and be up front.

With these lips I tell you I love you

see, that wasn't so tough.

Sometimes the days drift by in slow-motion,

we are in a constant limbo.

Routine and comfort-ability take control,

it's hard to shake the habits.

Why do we do the things we do?

The struggles within ourselves might be to blame.

Fear of rejection and failure stunt growth.

How can we evolve into better individuals?

One Life. Many Chances. Endless Possibilities.

Present Stranger, Future Lover

I love you without words.

I love you without looks.

I love you without you knowing I exist.

We have never spoken, we have never met

Yet you are the one for me and I the one for you.

The way we laugh, the way we grow

is inexperienced now, but will be incomprehensible bliss.

Everything will be easy, but hard all in the same.

Because we have never spoken, we have never met

That does not diminish from the fact that:

I love you without words.

I love you without looks.

I love you without you knowing I exist.

Music: The Black Keys

The Black Keys are one of my favorite bands. I have had the pleasure of seeing them twice already; the first time was August 2011 at Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco and then just recently this past weekend at Coachella Music Festival in Indio. They are brilliant musicians with so much soul, which is what music is all about.
