just a boy.

one of my favorite songs, by Angus and Julia Stone. "Just a Boy" is a very chill, mellow song; you'll love it.

swim.

"Swim" by the ever-so-talented Andrew McMahon.

You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far
To fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open yeah
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
Swim
You gotta swim
For nights that won’t end
Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
And brothers and friends
Yeah, you gotta swim
For wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open yeah
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
But I'm not giving in
Swim
You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There's an ocean to drift in
Feel the tide shifting away from the spark
Yeah you gotta swim
Don't let yourself sink
Just follow the horizon
I promise you it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim

head to http://jacksmannequin.com/ to see how you can get in on this music video in progress for this poetic song!! i know i am!

its the middle of may, and still freezing.

this weeks freebies on iTunes:

'Under Control'- Parachute (Single of the Week)
not bad, about 5 seconds into the song I decided it was terrific.

'Wanted'- Jessie James (Music Video of the Week)
really?? really. very disappointed in this pick. James is simply a brunette clone of Christina Aguilera. Minus the vocal skills. Not to mention she's rubbing herself all over a telephone booth. how creative and artistic.

MY picks for the week??

'In the Air Tonight'- Nonpoint
remake of Phil Collins', and very neatly done! I'm very picky about remakes of songs (Flo Rida's "Right Round" is an abomination to the music industry!!!).

'That's Not My Name'- The Ting Tings
I just love them. and always will.

'Brown Trout Blues'- Johnny Flynn
His voice...! Love it. Love the harmonies, everything about it.
