Imany - You Will Never Know


It breaks my heart 'cause I know you're the one for me
Don't you feel sad there never was a story
Obviously it never be

You will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you no

With every smile comes my reality irony
You won't find out what has been killing me
Can't you see me, can't you see?

Daughter - Tomorrow


By tomorrow we'll be swimming with the fishes
Leave our troubles in the sand.
And when the sun comes up,
We'll be nothing but dust,
Just the outlines of our hands

By tomorrow we'll be lost amongst the leaves,
In a wind that chills the skeletons of trees,
And when the moon, it shines, I will leave two lines.
Find my love, then find me.

Don't bring tomorrow
'cause I already know
I'll lose you

By tomorrow I'll be left in the darkness,
Amongst your cold sheets.
And your shoes will be gone,
And your body warmth no longer beside me.

We want constantly to change our professions, industries we work in, countries we live in, because changing rules of the game is what excites us most and helps us form boredom – the worst thing what could happen. We believe and expect things to get better and better and do not accept any failure. We know we will get hurt harshly by the reality but we still keep living in our own created dream world just because we cannot change the way we are. We encourage diversity but we feel most comfortable in Starbucks somewhere in Himalayas because we are the children of 21st century.

Daughter - Youth


Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
And my eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter


And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

(Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?)

I can't take my mind off you
'Til I find somebody new

Death Cab For Cutie - Meet Me On The Equinox


Meet me on the equinox 
Meet me halfway
The sun is perched at its highest peak
In the middle of the day

And let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh darling understand
That everything
Everything ends

cool kids don't die, right?

Visual Kei

rock + make-up + gender

first time watched some Visual Kei performanced
and you know what I kinda liked it
check it out! -->



P.S. if you think there are girls in any of these bands think again. only boys here :O yes yes even that one with a lollita dress insanely playing the electric guitar

Philip George - Wish You Were Mine

meant to be


Whiplash

passion, jazz, determination

but not only those classic 'nice' things

+teachers who suck and try to convince that you never be as good as they are
modern geeky, talented people who happens to be overconfident, selfish and doesn't reckon with anybody

p.s. Similar pronunciation of word Whiplash in Thai language is "whip pa laad" means, 'be mad, be insane', which matches movie's theme.

and of course the completed soundtrack:

Damien Rice - 9 crimes

long time ago
still sounds beautiful

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?

No...

Met Gala 2015 review

This years Gala theme was China so let's look who won the red carpet challenge and who missed their chase to shine.

Best collaborations:
Julianne Moore and Givenchy (Riccardo Tisci)
flaming red hair and black classic cut encrusted dress makes it to the top list

Georgia May Jagger and Gucci (Alessandro Michele)
east style patterns and side hairdo is a subtile hint to the China topic

FKA twigs and Christopher Kane
modern painting inspired dress doesn't really go with this years Gala dress code but because of the artistic vibe and beautiful colour match it wins my heart

Tom Ford and Rita Ora
blood red dress with an east type of collar brings Rita to the top level of the fashion game

Sienna Miller and Thakoon (Thakoon Panichgul)
again red but this time pats suit with a oh-so traditional east accessories - silk tassels

Best dressed couple:
Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, both in Louis Vuitton
I know they are not the most topic-orientedly dressed but they both are so good-looking

Anna Ewers and Sasha Pivovarova, both in Balenciaga
oh, Anna! why you always have to look so good?

Adriana Lima, in Marc Jacobs
bring me the head (the king said once)

Vanessa Hudgens, in custom H&M, with a Gigi Burris Millinery headpiece
there is something very Chinese in this look

Emily Ratajkowski, in custom Topshop
Chinese pottery inspired dress is good choice to make

Liya Kebede, in custom 3.1 Phillip Lim
again not straight interpretation of the event theme but a very successful look

the very right Maggie Q in custom Tory Burch
is the leader in the fashion group game
the cut of the dress is a unique China theme interpretation and it makes her the start of the evening

Lily Aldridge, in Carolina Herrera
subtile, elegant cut and perfectly matching dress colour with the skin tone, also great make-up, hairstyle and accessories
so yes, by far everything is perfect.
Great job Lily!

Alexa Chung, in Erdem
again east type of pattern and plus this time baby blue slip-ons with pink perfect length dress is a new twist to the China style interpretation game

Maryna Linchuk and Natasha Poly
Natasha makes a great move with her top head hair pulled back

Dree Hemingway in Coach
rioting Dree likes breaking dress code rules but I mean look at her - she plays it even smarter
combining classic cut skirt with a biker leather west and dark lipstick is a total style explosion

and of course the sensational
Sarah Jessica Parker in custom H&M with a Philip Treacy headdress
cannot believe this stunning dress from H&M and even more hard to see Sarah wearing this brand
and choosing iconic Philip Treacy creation to combine it with is just genius!
