♫ The Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm

Geplaatst op door allesannie
Waking up with nostalgic stuff. Music from the best period in my life makes me both sad and happy at the same time. This is my favourite song from their Siamese Dream album (1993).

‘Disarm you with a smile

And leave you like they left me here

To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn’

♫ Lydmor & Bon Homme – Things We Do For Love

Geplaatst op door allesannie

No need to explain my Lydmor love to anyone again I guess. But the project she has done with Bon Homme is just amazing. Her fragile, sweet voice in combination with his deep manly voice makes me melt. These two are lifting each other up. Instantly fell in love with this song.

This is the first single from their upcoming album ‘Seven Dreams Of Fire’ – out 6th November 2015. Two more months to wait!

♫ Rebekka Karijord – The Noble Art of Letting Go

Geplaatst op door allesannie
Two years after posting this song by Rebekka Karijord for the first time, it still makes me cry instantly. If you look at her own emotions while singing it, it becomes even more moving. Usually I don’t listen to the lyrics but these seem to be written for me.. Oh, that luggage. It IS a noble art..


No new cities lovers friends
can make you feel complete

The sense of loneliness remains
no matter who you meet
When all you pictured failed
and all your dreams are crossed
remember that your strength is also built
on what you lost
The noble art of letting…
Your blind spot is rejection
and you’ll be on your own
when youre petrified
of all that’s warm and real
invisible scars take forever to heal
The daylight will soften your mood
come now accept what’s good
No new cities lovers friends…
The noble art of letting go

♫ Bahamas – Lost in the Light

Geplaatst op door allesannie
Hit by another song.. How can people live without music? Bahamas is the stage name for Afie Jurvanen, a Canadian musician born in Toronto. So far I haven’t found any of his other music as interesting as this song but this one hits me in the stomach. So I guess that’s more than enough for one album..

Oh, and wouldn’t have found it without Spotify’s great new ‘Discover Weekly’ feature!

Petter Carlsen – Sirens

Geplaatst op door allesannie
Petter Carlsen is once again cutting through my soul with this song. Let it speak for itself..

I don’t know where this is going
but yeah I do intend to come along
I don’t know what I’d be doing
If you decided to move on

It’s like sirens through a peaceful night
It stings you and you turn to fright
Its pain that never goes away
you better run and don’t look back for me
I’m not there

I don’t know where this is going
Every now and then I feel apart
I don’t know how things are meant to be
Every time I’m with you I am me

It’s like sirens through a peaceful night
It stings you and you turn to fright
Its pain that never goes away
you better run and don’t look back for me
I’m not there

Fear that you might not hold on
Fear that you might not stay

♫ Vök – Waterfall

Geplaatst op door allesannie
‘Breath in for the last time..’ It actually really feels that’s what I’m doing while listening to this hypnotic song, I forget to breath.. Too bad this feeling is not represented in the video, something dreamier would have suited me better. ‘Waterfall‘ is taken from Vök’s new EP ‘Circles‘. Vök was founded in 2013 and means ‘hole in the ice’. Having a soft spot for music in unknown, incomprehensible languages, especially the Nordic ones, I was already in love with their previous EP ‘Tension‘.

Hoping for a miracle (or just a new job) to happen, I hope to be able to see them later this year at Iceland Airwaves festival in Reykjavik! Until then they end up on my Night Magic list.

♫ Heather Nova – Sea Glass

Geplaatst op door allesannie
In love with Heather Nova’s fragile but powerful voice since her album ‘Oyster’ in 1994, with impressive songs as ‘Truth and Bone’ and ‘Maybe an Angel’ which instantly throw me back twenty years in time.. Later albums never had the same impact on me but I kept trying.

With her new album ‘The Way It Feels‘ she’s cutting my soul in half again. In particular with the beautiful ‘Sea Glass’. But also songs like ‘Girl on the Mountain’, ‘On My Radar’, ‘This Humanness’. 
She is definitely back on my radar!


Now I’m standing on the shore of the Atlantic

With these seeds of love I planted

Under this majestic sky, why do I still wonder why?
All my hopes and indecisions, clouds that shimmer in the distance
Why do I still wonder why? Why?
