Tess of the D'Ubervilles
I've just finished reading one of the most magnificent books I've ever touched, Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, and it was completely beautiful, yet it was quite distressing. This is the kind of book that you keep thinking about and tempts you to read it again and again.
01 Sufjan Stevens - For the Widows In Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
If there’s anything to say/If there’s anything to do/If there’s any other way/I’d do anything for you
02 Andrew Bird - The Trees Were Mistaken
Am I dead/Or am I dying/Or am I simply tired of crying/My name is a blackbird.
03 New Buffalo - Misery and Mountains, Arrows and Bows
My body’s broken/I’m not ashamed/Dangerous token/Guilty with pain/Tell them my story/Again and again/Bring me my sweetheart/I wanna/See him
04 Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)
Wake from your sleep/The drying of your tears/Today we escape/We escape
05 Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cheated Hearts [iTunes Live Session]
Cheated by the opposite of love/Held on high/And up up up above/Kept my high from the second one/Kept my eye on the first one now/Take these rings and store them safe away/I’ll wear them on another rainy day.
