Northern WindCity and Colour

One of the favorite songs of my life.

You’re the Northern Wind
Sending shivers down my spine
You’re like fallen leaves
In an autumn night

You’re the lullaby
Singing me to sleep
You are the other half
You’re like the missing piece

Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don’t know
What you do to me

You are all four seasons
Rolled into one
You’re like the cold December snow
In the warm July sun

I’m the jet black sky
That’s just before the rain
Like the mighty current
Pulling you under the waves

Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don’t know
What you do to me

I’m the darkest hour
Just before the dawn
I’m slowly sinking
Into the the slough of despond

Like an old guitar
Worn out and left behind
I have stories still to tell
Of the healing kind

Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
If I could just find you tonight
If I could just find you tonight
Oh my love

Smells Like Teen Spirit On Cellos of the Day: A little amplification, a little distortion, and boom — cellos for the win.

Want more cello? Here’s another duo with “Smooth Criminals.”

[ohhaveyouseenthis]

Cellos for the win everyday. All the days. And now I need to save up for an electric cello and experiment with some new facial expressions.

Game-Changing Music Video of the Day: At long last, a big-name rapper blatantly in support of gay rights. This mini film is seven minutes of beauty.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ ”Same Love,” featuring Mary Lambert, is from The Heist, out October 9.

Closer by Tegan and Sara. So there you go.

Here is a video of Tegan and Sara’s not-yet-released NEW SINGLE! If this song is any indication I think I will probably really love their new album, them as people, everything they wear and say, etc.

Mhmm. Yup. Yes. Agreed.

“I’ve always been more of a physical music person even when I didn’t listen to dance music; I didn’t quite realize it, but the punk bands I liked had a kind of physicality that I really liked. Lyrically and vocally, I was never all that interested in melody or great voices, and musically, I was never that interested in chord changes. I always liked to find something that kind of did one thing for a really long time and did it very well — or just had a physicalness to it that I really liked.”

(via James Murphy: The Brains Behind LCD Soundsystem : NPR)

James Murphy is endlessly fascinating and this was a really great interview.
