Talk, Talk
Empty Sentiment
I Haven't Got The Heart
For Disappointment
I really like this song,
Another For The Darkness by
Gemma Hayes.
The title at first may seem a little....Dark but the song itself is not.
It's kind of the feeling of upbeat melody with sad lyrics.
For me the song hits me on a personal level.
I think the reason why I like this song so much is because of the lyrics.
The lyrics are filled with hints of disappointment and confusion and also a hint of trying to help.
All that roll it into one and that's a great way to sum up my feelings these past couple of days.
Anyways, here's
Another For The Darkness by
Gemma Hayes.
Lyrical Snippets Hitting Home Stop Looking At Me That Way
This line is related to a person who always talk about me behind my back and looks at me and makes me feel like crap for doing one little thing. It hurts.
Tired of The Fight
This hits me personally because I feel as if I always have to end up in an argument with another person just to prove to them that I didn't do whatever they thought I did. I just feel too weak to argue anymore.
Well, I Don't Understand You Better Than Most
I Am Just You Friend, With Troubles Of My Own
This is realated to one of my friends whom i keep sacrificing everything to but people still think that I abuse him or torture him because well, he tells people that. So, now I feel as if he expects me to understand him better than others because we're friends.
Truth is, I don't.
I won't be able to and I can't just stop everything and feel the same way you're feeling every time.
These Days I'm Surrounded By People I Don't Even Like
That is true I am but it's not everyone, just most of the people I don't like.
I don't think I'll be talking very much after today or tomorrow or the next week, cause what's the point of talking to people with my problems, troubles, and worries if I have to deal with it myself.
I'm going to have to get used to that.
I just hope that at least one day this year I'll have a good day with friends/family, fun, and laughter. I just really need a good day.
I want to smile more, I don't want to keep getting Anger shakes, feelings of loneliness and experience actions of disappointment anymore.
I just don't.
I really love this song. It reminds me of a lonesome journey through the city or even through the country. Just a lonesome journey. I found this song while looking through blogspots out of boredom. Luckily I stumbled upon a good artist. If you like the lonely feeling of folk you'll love this song.
I love Ivy, and hearing that their releasing a new album is great news to me. But, while I was trying to find information about the next album, I found out about this great duo.
If you love Ivy, Brookville, Paco and the Postmarks then you'll love the NeverEndings!
A Goddess is one that explores the elements, one that is not always in the public eye, one that's humble, nice, and recognized for their strengths. Akino Arai fits all these qualities. But why a Happily Melancholic Artist you ask?
The first song I loved from her was, "Tsuki No Ie", in 1999
On Her Album, Eden, Happily Melancholic songs on their are, "New World", with an other-worldly feeling, and "Kamisama no gogo". Soothing/ Melancholic songs are, "Nijiro no wakusei", and "Roundabout Drive". I love Roundabout Drive and New World because Roundabout is so filled with a "weathered" emotion, while New world has that feeling of flying high and motivation.
From her most recent album, "Sora no Sphere", her songs are similar to flying around in the air or hanging around in the nature of the world. I love it.
*please note that the free downloads are in the paragraphs*
In the beginning of her career she had some pretty melancholic demo love songs on her unreleased first album, Odds & Ends, then with her official studio album, No Angel, she really showcased her talents of balancing Happiness and Sadness in "Thank You" and presented, spooky ethereal sounds on "Here With Me" while also showing a vocal attitude on "Hunter". With her first album it had a feeling of sad love and spooky sounds..jpg)
Then her recent third release, Safe Trip Home, took a turn of melancholy with the melodies, lyrics, and vocals, Dido offered on the album. But there's still a small feeling of understanding in some of the songs. Like, "Quiet Times", "Look No Further" and "Us 2 Little Gods".
Sally Seltmann was more Happily Melancholic as New Buffalo than as herself in her recent album, Heart That's Pounding. Mostly with her first album, The Last Beautiful Day, it was so full of happiness, sadness, isolation, and distant feeling that it was a purely happily melancholic album. New Buffalo is the only artist I know that has the most happily melancholic songs in one album.
In all things said, Maria Taylor is kind of a beginner with Happily Melancholy genre. Her first two albums were pretty calm and soothing, more folk and folktronica oriented sounds.
