i eat when i'm hungry. i sleep when i'm tired. i work when i need money. i live to create things. i am fascinated by filmmaking. i obsess over technology. i make photographs. i build webpages. i write the occasional song.

alas i cannot swim by laura marling
a timeless album, written by a teenager with the sole of woman who has lived a life full of adventure, love, and heartache. i’ve never heard a voice so enchantingly beautiful, and yet, filled with such sadness.
1 Notes
“lighthouse”
the fog gets thicker
the waves grow tall
and i am on my own
seconds lost by the hour
i’m a losing soul
be my lighthouse and guide me home
i don’t know where to go
be my lighthouse, guide me home
i can’t die here alone
discontentment raised my sails
and had me follow the stars
it forced the rudder
and grabbed the wheel
a declaration of war
be my lighthouse and guide me home
i don’t know where to go
be my lighthouse, guide me home
i can’t die here alone
take this night
be my lighthouse and guide me home
i don’t know where to go
be my lighthouse, guide me home
i can’t die here alone

“home”
i got my clothes put away
got my shirts hung up
i got the dishes clean
got my coffee mug
i’d done everything
that you’re supposed to do
the one thing missing
was me with you
i lit the pilot light
i filled up the fridge
i turned down my sheets
because i finally made my bed
i’d done everything
that you’re supposed to do
the one thing missing
was me with you
i never knew home
i never knew my home
i never knew home
til i knew you
now the floor’s a mess
makeup everywhere
there’s knitting yarn
and a drain filled with hair
that’s fine with me
i don’t care
because all those things
tell me you’re still there
i never found home
i never found my home
i never found home
til i found you
and i tried everything
to make this house a home
i put up photographs
taken long ago
i have on display
things i hold so dear
but it never felt right
til you were here
i never knew home
i never knew my home
i never knew home
til i knew you
5 Notes
transatlanticism by death cab for cutie
ben gibbard is easily one of the greatest songwriters of our time, and this album is one of his best. so sincere, so nostalgic, so good.
