Music Monday – Sand Storm (Original Mix)

Alright, lovelies, I have been freaking killing it with ‘Corrupt Desires’ which is releasing on July 9th (watch for the cover reveal tomorrow!), and I am so close to tying a bow on it and sending out ARCs… but getting there has meant lots of sleepless nights. So, for #MusicMonday today I needed something with high energy that always had me do a little chair dance wiggle. ‘Sand Storm (Original Mix) by Apashe feat. Odalisk is definitely on that list. There are some fun lyrics, and some decent vocals, but really it’s just a hot fucking dance mix that should help us all make it through monday! ENJOY!

Look down!
You’re talking to your highness.
You can’t see me, I’m the reason for your blindness.
They tried this, but I’m too classy for your lines!
Got my double cups up,
that’s the reason that I’m like this.

Look down!
You’re talking to your highness.
Can’t see me, I’m the reason for your blindness.
They tried this, but I’m too classy for your lines!

Cups up, that’s the reason that I’m like this.

Music Monday – Broken

It’s #MusicMonday and I am now at two weeks in a row, yaaassss! Today’s song is ‘Broken’ by Lund and it’s definitely less… peppy, than some of the other songs, but I just love it soooooo much. It’s perfect for when you’re just stressed to the max (not that I’ve felt that in recent months) and just need some music to let you… wallow. Definitely check out the lyrics, because they’re macabre and pretty fucking awesome (trimmed down because there’s a lot of repetition).

Favorite Lyrics

Will you end my pain?
Will you take my life?
Will you bleed me out?
Will you hang me out to dry?
Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
While I’m falling apart,
while I’m going…
insane.

Can you break my bones?
Will you tear my skin?
Can you taste my lust?
Can you feel my sin?

See I’m a waste of life,
I should just kill myself.
Yeah, I could slit my wrists,
but it really wouldn’t help.
Wouldn’t fix my issues,
or change your mind,
cause I broke your heart,
and you buried mine.
Now I’m 6 feet deep and I can’t breathe,
I got dirt in my eyes,
and blood on my sleeves.
But I dig my way up,
through these roots and leaves,
so I can get some air,
so I can finally breathe.
And now I’m on my knees,
oh baby, begging please,
Will you?
Will you?

Will you end my pain?
Will you take my life?
Will you bleed me out?
Will you hang me out to dry?
Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
While I’m falling apart,
while I’m going…
insane.

Goodbye,
don’t you miss me when I’m gone.
Goodbye,
cause you’re the fucking reason that I’m not around.
Goodbye,
don’t you miss me when I’m- miss me when I’m gone.
Goodbye,
cause you’re the fucking reason that I’m not around…
Fucking reason that I’m not around…
Bitch, you’re the fucking reason that I’m not around.

‘Broken’ by Lund

Music Monday – Space

Sheesh, life has been too hectic and I completely got out of the habit of doing #MusicMonday which sucks because I have so many freaking songs to share with you guys! This song ‘Space’ by Ally Hills tells such a great story, and I love her voice and the beat to the song that just keeps it so energized. I also end up car dancing to this song! Favorite line? “You know what they say, well, they say life’s a bitch.” AIN’T THAT THE TRUTH?! lol Seriously scroll down, hit play, and read the lyrics for a few minutes because it’s so good. Enjoy! <3

Lyrics

You don’t even care that my clothes aren’t there,
you needed the hanger space.
You don’t even mind ’cause you don’t waste time
filling in all the blanks.

I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to be lonely
(taste to be lonely)
I wish you were staying for a night to see what it’s like fading slowly
(fading slowly)

You were my love
You wanted this
I give it all but you took what you did
You were my life
You turned off like a switch
You know what they say
Well they say life’s a bitch!

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch (x4)

You know what they say (x2)
Background repeat : bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

You don’t even care you can get yourself a spare room
Like you always do
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/ally-hills/-/space.html]
But wouldn’t it be nice if my kind of paradise wasn’t lying there buried in you?

I wish you were sad for a day so you would know how it tastes to want more
Background : more, more
I wish I could find the dignity so that I didn’t have to be just another call that you ignore

You were my love
You wanted this
I give it all then you took what you did
You were my life
You turned off like a switch
You know what they say
Well they say life’s a bitch!

You know what they say (x2)
Background repeat : bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

You’re such a bitch, baby

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch (x2)

Putting them on their place, I know you love how it tastes, baby
You need the space. You needed space. You need the space.

They say, well they say life’s a bitch
You need the space. You needed space.

‘Space’ by Ally Hills

Music Monday – How do you Like it

Today’s #MusicMonday is a fun one, lovelies! In honor of the release of the ‘When the Dark Wins’ boxset, I am sharing this song that just makes me shiver in all the right ways… because it’s fucking hot and a bit twisted. I do hope you’ll enjoy it, because it’s been on my playlist for a bit. Anyway, I’m on a work trip this week, and then I have RT Book Con next week! There’s no official video for this song, BUT I reaaallllyyy hope you scroll down and enjoy this one, lovelies! <3

Lyrics

I might be a tad naive,
but I learn quick.
I will shatter your belief
that I’m so innocent.

So savor your surprise,
I could tip you like a vintage wine.
A whisper down your neck,
I could wrap your muscles tight,
or sing your silhouette.
Darlin, please don’t make me guess…
How do you like it best?
How do you like it?

You are such an Gentleman,
you touch me like a flower,
like a petal that could bend.
When we talk we sound like friends.
I dont want to take the heat,
you rise in me so secretly,
and let it go unsaid,
so dainty in my head.

Cause baby all the time,
I could tip you like a vintage wine.
A whisper down your neck,
I could wrap your muscles tight,
or sing your silhouette.
Darlin, please don’t make me guess…
How do you like it best?
How do you like it?

You might have a few years on me,
but I’m no little girl,
I’m no little lady.
Yeah, you might have a few years on me.
So if you’re such a man,
tell me how you take me
when you sip me like a vintage wine.
When you sip me like a vintage wine.

I could tip you like a vintage wine.
A whisper down your neck,
I could wrap your muscles tight,
or sing your silhouette.
Darlin, please don’t make me guess…
How do you like it best?
How do you like it?

Music Monday – Asking for a Friend (Stripped)

Look at that, the first #MusicMonday since chaos stormed my life hardcore. This song, “Asking for a Friend” by Annabel Jones, stumbled upon me during the insanity and it struck me because it seemed to ring so true to me in that state (after you read the lyrics you won’t be surprised why). Not to mention it’s beautiful, and just her and a piano which is just so perfect with her clear voice. Enjoy, lovelies.

Lyrics

How are you happy?
I’m asking for a friend.
Smiling and laughing, even when you’re feeling bad…
How do you stay clear?
I’m asking for a friend.
Even when you’re here, you’re somewhere else instead.

When every day is agony, it’s hard
to find somewhere where you can still belong.
Summer almost came but you left us.
Things were really bad, things got pretty tough.

Trouble, trouble followed you,
sadness, sadness swallowed you.
Call to the dark, it was broke from the start,
love won’t fix that part.

How can you find sleep?
I’m asking for a friend.
Quiet, still, and deep, it was simpler back then.
How do you stay close?
I’m asking for a friend.
Stay up, sweet recalls,
maybe you’re better off like that.

When every day is agony, it’s hard
to find somewhere where you can still belong.
Summer almost came but you left us.
Things were really bad, things got pretty tough.

Trouble, trouble followed you,
sadness, sadness swallowed you.
Call to the dark, it was broke from the start,
love won’t fix that part.

Love won’t fix that part.

I’m asking for a friend…

‘Asking for a Friend’ by Annabel Jones

Music Monday – My Heart Goes Bum Bum Bum

Hey lovelies, it’s #MusicMonday and I’m trying to pick myself up off the floor and keep moving forward. I spent all weekend making the paperbacks beautiful for The Thalia Series re-release, and I can’t wait to touch them and take pictures and share them with you all! Especially the GIGANTIC boxset, which is over 730 pages. Today I’ve got a good song to hopefully kick off this week in a good way! It’s ‘My Heart Goes Bum Bum Bum’ by Flatsound. Check it out, and enjoy your Monday, lovelies!

Lyrics

you said take the violin that you hang on your wall
stick it under your bed before it crumbles and falls
just dont open your eyes before counting to ten
i can hardly remember, just the smell of your hands
as they danced on my body, running over my pores
with the force of steering wheel crushing my bones
i said you smell like the devil but you feel like the lord
and when i think of perfection you know i’m thinking of your
voice when you tell me you dont call him your baby
because that was the name that you rightfully gave me
and its foolish to share with someone else
and my heart goes bum bum bum bum bum

but you admit that you’re lonely, you’re as cold as a statue
pleading ‘fuck me’ on the marble that was used to create you
i cant stand that you’re talking when you shouldn’t be living
i didn’t dodge all your bullets i just denied that they hit me
so when my body is bleeding i wont admit that this hurts
because admitting isn’t fixing so then what is it worth
so to say you’re unhappy is like saying you’re sorry
its nothing that i care to hear

so now the tears in your jeans are the holes in your armor
you’re the thoughts that i feared, you’re the mountain i’ve conquered
if i told you i loved you would you reach out and touch me
you taste like the ocean and your body’s disgusting
the only reason you breathe is to sleep through the night
the only reason you speak is to tell me i’m fine
the only reason you breathe is to sleep through the night
the only reason you speak is to state that you’re mine
and my heart goes bum bum bum bum bum

‘My Heart Goes Bum Bum Bum’ by Flatsound
