So this is the thing...

And the things that keep us apart, keep me alive

The things that keep me alive, keep me alone.

This is the thing...

L.O.V.E.???

Something I am completely confused about at the moment. Did I just fall in love with the beautiful boy that held the door for me out of the pub saying "Pretty girls first" or am I in complete L.U.S.T for a perfect gentlemen who looked like he'd fallen right out of the pages of Amainglyhotbandboymagazine and into Nation of Shopkeepers on a Wednesday night? It's a toughy! Trying this single girl milarky is quite the task I tell you, especially when the L word is sat across from me on the last train home snogging eachothers faces off, holding eachothers hand as they walk past me in the street and shouting "I LOVE YOU TOO BABE" within half a metre of my face! Okay so that last bit didn't happen but it might as well do to complete the (shall we say bitterness? no, sounds horrible! we'll go with...) "My ever so romantic heart"..................

So what would be so fitting with this feeling of having to do a massive gulp when you hear the L word being thrown about? Well, I have two options for today........... one of those "Good Feel" songs OR one that forces you to be reminiscent? I'm going for the latter, it's been a while since I have let emotions get the better of me!

Fink are who I would like to have a little talk about today of the Folk/Blues/Dub genre. A beautifully elegant sound, very relaxing to listen to yet the lyrics are subtly stimulating of your thoughts. They got me thinking about deeper things and made me a reflect a little more..... Fink say they "sing about relationships and love and emotions; but also sing about other stuff: embracing fear, Berlin dawns and looking forward". I read this quote after I listened to as much of their music as I could... and could agree with all of what they had said.

The songs I have listed below are just a couple of ones I would call my current favourites, over time it might change but for now I'll choose these. The first song "This is the thing" is once I think anyone can relate to; knowing someone wasn't very good for you but you were in love so you stuck it out. I have only had that feeling once I must say, a few years back now but it's still good to look back and realise how far you have come! :)

Thanks for reading!
