little bit of a tribute to lykke li




lykke li:

i forgot how amazing she was
until a recent streak of li's in mi life,


the blogotheque presents:
el perro del mar & lykke li - dance.dance.dance.

and am hooked again.
she casts spells of the kaleidoscopic kind. where you're not sure how she caught you in her net of tonel colors but you're there and entranced in her poplicious dance gems. trying to sew it all together, i think i finally have my finger on some ittle li bits and pieces. she gets you with her fragile voice that sings, whissspers, squeaks, hiccUps, coocoocackews. she lets her lyrics spill all over you which make and break your heart over and over. she bumps ethereal disco beats in the back and
has a funky purple glitter'd tambourine that she shakes, rattles and rolls all over her rhythms in the front. the foot stomps, chimes, flutes, kazoOoOos, harpsichords all spell out ittle bits of the puzzle. sista's got it down. she is a rockstar, a rockstar of the purest form and this is a ittle tiny tribute to the li.



"i have may different sides to myself, i am a complex person. i have many layers of my personality to choose from, i am super-sensitive and i am super-strong."



"so when i trip on my feet i look at the beat the words are written in the sand, when i’m shaking my hips look for the swing the words are written in the air"



i'm good. i'm gone.

(friendly fires remixx)

workin in the corner
peakin over shoulder's
waiting for my time to come
working in the corner
one day to the other
butter on my piece of bun
stepping on a stone
and i'm all gone
give me the tone and i'm all gone
yeah, i'm walking by the line
not here, but in my mind
i'm working a sweat
but it's all good
i'm breaking my back
but it's all good
'cause i know i'll get it back
yeah, i know your hands will clap
i'm working to make butter for my piece of bun
and i'm hanging around 'till it's all done
you can't keep me back once i had some
no wasting time to get it right
and you will see what i'm about
'cause i'm working a sweat
but it's all good
i'm breaking my back but it's all good
'cause i know i'll get it back

yeah, i know your hands will clap

time flies
(youth novels versions)

i sit tight, don't want to miss the show
i hang on, don't want to miss my prime
time will fly, upon my baby's back
time will fly, upon my baby's back
stay a while, my baby wants me to
don't you go, my baby begs me so
but tide will dry, upon my baby's back
tide will dry, upon my baby's back
and i get weak
i get weary
imiss sleep
i get moody
i'm in thoughts
i write songs,
i'm in love
i walk on
so fingers crossed, my time is coming now
don't you go, my baby begs me so
time will fly, upon my baby's back




"i'm myself because everything i do is me. but, of course, i'm exaggerating because i'm not my complete born self."



little bit
(ft. drake)

hands down
i'm too proud for love
but with eyes shut
it's you i'm thinkin of
but how we move from a -->b
it can't be up to me
cause i don't know
but eye to eye
thigh to thigh
i let go
