This #MusicMonday was suggested to me by a good friend who has my same taste in music and she always sends me the best youtube links! Honestly, some days I just realize how lucky I am to have kickass people in my life who aren’t afraid to send me awesome things like “Shutter Island” by the brand new to the scene Jessie Reyez. She has a handful of songs out there right now, but I am quite sure she’s going to be hitting the radio soon and blowing up. The video below is just wicked so make sure you scroll down and hit play! I promise, you’re going to love the mixture of the crazy visuals, her sweet voice, her angry shouting, and the fun almost carousel-esque theme to the music. So. Fucking. Fun.
Favorite Lyrics
The goodbyes are getting old.
Next time you can go ahead and go.
I’m tired of begging you to love me…
Goodness, gracious, you’re amazing.
According to you, I’m a lucky lady.
So why’d you lie to me?
Why do I cry to sleep?
Goodness, gracious, I’m replaceable.
You say that I’m too crazy.
I guess you were right,
I guess you were right.
My straight jacket’s custom-made though!
(With fucking diamonds)
My straight jacket’s custom-made though!
(With fucking rubies)
I’m crazy just like Galileo,
my straight jacket’s custom-made though!
You keep hitting, I’ve been bruised,
Holy field I can’t hear you.
I’m tired of begging you to love me…
…
For a second I forgot I was a bad bitch,
begging you to stay became a habit.
I’m tired of begging you to love me…
I know I can be better, needed practice.
I know I can be better, but the fact is,
I’m tired of begging you to love me.
Goodness gracious, let’s just break up.
I tried everything to save us,
so why do I cry to sleep,
Every time you try to leave?
Goodness, gracious, this relationship
is full of so much hatred.
I guess you were right,
I guess you were right!
‘Shutter Island’ by Jesse Reyez
