Top 10 Albums of 2011
10 songs from my favourite records of the year
Beirut The Rip Tide
And knew you had it all along / An endless need for games / Don’t forget a candle’s fire / Is only just a flame
Song: A Candle’s Fire
Bright Eyes The People’s Key
Hold on tight beginner’s mind / The currents far too strong / It’ll carry you along / Till you’re just like everyone
British Sea Power - Valhalla Dancehall
I’m a big fan of the local library / I just read a book but that’s another story
Song: Who’s In Control?
Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow
I am ice and dust and light / I am sky and here / I can hear people / I think you are near me now / The world is so loud / Keep falling / I’ll find you
Song: Snowflakes
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
I’ve seen and done things I want to forget / I’ve seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat / Blown and shot out beyond belief / Arms and legs were in the trees
Song: The Words That Maketh Murder
Radiohead - The King Of Limbs
Good Morning, Mr. Magpie / How are we today? / And now you stole it, all the magic took my memories
Song: Morning Mr Magpie
The Features - Wilderness
Take every leaf from every tree / Take every blade of grass you see / Take every stone you think you’ll need / They’re yours to keep / My love
The Strokes - Angles
So we talk about ourselves in hell / To forget the love we never felt / All the old jokes that work so well / Universal truth was a moment’s lie
Song: Life Is Simple In The Moonlight
Wild Flag - Wild Flag
I’m a racehorse / Put your money on me / You can’t love no one / You don’t love no one / You put your love on me
Song: Racehorse
Bonus Album of the year
Everything you know so well / Is bound by hushed devotion / And in the shapes we used to be / I remember asking / Why mirror all that moves / To be soothe, yet still be lacking
Added very last minute as in the 29th December 2011 I want to make Marble Son by Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter my 11th choice because it is completely and utterly taking over my mind and soul and will continue to in the final days of 2011.
Song of the Day
Excuse me I’m sorry to bother you
But don’t I know you?
There’s just something about you.
Haven’t we met before?
We’ve been in love forever.
When we got on top of the hill
We saw Rome burning.
I just let you walk away.
I’ve never forgiven myself.
I saw you on the steps in Paris.
You were with someone else.
Couldn’t you see that should have been me.
I just walked on by.
Then we met in ‘42,
But we were on different sides.
I hid you under my bed,
But they took you away
I lost you in a London smog
As you crossed the lane.
And I’d never know where you’d gonna be next
But I’d know that you’d surprise me.
Come with me, I’ll find some rope
I’ll tie us together.
I’ve been waiting for you so long…
I don’t want to lose you again…
Snowed In At Wheeler Street by Kate Bush featuring Elton John
Oh man this song is so beautiful, this album is so good, yeah Kate Bush always great to have you back
Running Up That Hill — Kate Bush
It doesn’t hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I’m making?
You, It’s you and me.And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh…Is there so much hate for the ones who love?
Tell me we both matter don’t we?You,
It’s you and me,
It’s you and me who won’t be unhappy.Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin’
Let’s exchange the experience oh…If only I could,
Be running up that hillI don’t (really) ship it but I think that’s my Doctor/River song.
YESSSSSSSSSS
Song Of The Day
Cause every time it rains,
You’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out—
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
Cloudbusting by Kate Bush

Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Wuthering Heights by kate Bush reminds me of my dear dear friends Bobby, a Kate Bush obsessed girl who I think I once convinced to reintact the infamous dance in my front room.
