Nonsensical lyrics

Oh how many songs have lyrics that don't really make any sense. Owl city is one of the masters of this but the most recently discovered random song has got to by Morgan Page ft Lissie. But oh how i loves it.

Giddy up and go
We'll go so far as we please

Giddy up and gold mine
Different place, different time
All the stars are in their prime
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard

Giddy up and gold dust, all the cars turn to rust
You've got no means for wanderlust
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard

If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and you're just left there

Never be afriad of doing what you love

You may not be the best at it but you love it and enjoy it so why not do it.

I cant bake a cake that rises and goes all spongy to save myself and if it does rise it burns on the top by the time the middles cooked but i love all the effort that goes into making said crappy cake. Licking the uncooked cake mix off the spoon, measuring ingredients and sieving flour. The smell of a baking cake just feels so homely.

Or drawing, again not amazing. I cant sit down and create a masterpiece that deserves to be framed and sold for millions but i like being creative, see earlier blogs, and drawing is relaxing. It may never look like it did in my head but its an hour or two well spent.

(Its pop art its meant to be minimalist but dam i cant draw fingers)


Or perhaps singing. There's a song for every mood and while i will never in a million years get a record contract i enjoy belting it out, wither its at work or prancing round my bedroom as i clean.

“There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.”

Journeys at Night

"This is the way to start a new life, with a hurricane lamp shining at the top of the mast, and the coast-line disappearing behind one as the world lies sleeping. Making a journey a night is more wonderful than anything in the world"
-Moominpappa


And yes i did just quote the moomins =p
