"What I need is the dandelion in the spring."

"The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how big our losses. That it can be good again."      

A quote from quite possibly the best book ever, Mockingjay. It's the last book in The Hunger Games series and I've been in a state of so much feels ever since I finished it yesterday that I just keep bursting in to laughter and tears randomly. So crazy fangirling over here.

Part four (?) on Elli's favourite songs !


When I first wrote down the list of the songs I love the most, this one wasn't in it. And the sole reason for that is that I didn't know that this magnificent piece of music existed. Skins, the show I've grown to this early adulthood state with, directed me to this. Rae Morris, I salute you, this is one hell of a song. It's so inexplicably true and fitting to this part in my life that I just.. I can't even explain it.
Listen ! You won't regret it.

my nightmares are about losing you

So yeah. I've been struggling to write something decent or just, you know, even slam a music video here for you to enjoy. I don't even know the reason for this stupid creativity recession.

But here I am again, recovered (not in the least) from the tournaments of these past few weeks. Tournaments being my final exams or marticulation examination if you'd like to be fancy.

Colplay, as usual, I just love The Scientist (don't you just love the way I seem to love every song and video I post these days haha) and the music video is truly a piece of art in itself.

Also, some stars for you to help you remember how insignificant and little you are in this dear huge universe of ours. And something clichéic about reaching for the stars and whatnot..

the race is long and in the end it's only with yourself

Two videos that give me inspiration like nothing I've ever come across. Listen to both and let yourself feel. My meandering mind is off to the isles of sleep. Good night you stupid, wonderful world.

like looking through a fogged mirror

Ok, I'll admit it, I got a bit carried away with the ever-so-awesome POLADROID.
But these look amazing, right !? I've always wanted a polaroid-camera, and I will have one some day, but for now, this is a good alternative.

Right, on to the Part three on Elli's favourite songs !


Once again it's not just the song that is crazy good and totally mindblowing and awesome, it's also the band. I love MGMT in all its weirdness. And this song gives me chills every time. Just so magnificent.

I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go

Random pictures. Random day

Part two on Elli's favourite songs !
I love the Kooks. This song appeals to me in so many levels: it reminds me of the beautiful sunsets of last summer as well as the warm evenings spent laughing with my friends on the beach and right now I love it because I find it to be so ridiculously accurate. Seaside, everybody ! Feel free to fall in love if you haven't already.

I trust you all the same, I don't know why

I was thinking I could do a list of my absolute favourite songs in the motherfucking universe. I can't put them in any particular order since the absolute number 1 favourite changes almost every day. Today it's this.

So it's officially part one on the series called Elli's favourite songs ! 

Oh god how I love Biffy Clyro. And this song, my oh my. I've neglected this for some reason but today I had an epiphany: "Wow where's Biffy Clyro gone from my playlist ?!" So now I can't stop listening to this. Which isn't a bad thing at all because c'mon who could get tired of those violins on the background and the sweet, gloomy sound of his voice... Oh, pure love.

through the haze of our national anthems

I had a jolly good time today. We listened to music and took all kinds of awesome pictures. These, though, aren't from the awesome category. Once again I'm begging you to listen to the song !

you say swimming in the lake we'll come across a snake

One of the most amazing songs in the history of the universe




Well what can I say. It's been a grey day so these b&w photos fit the bill. I've been moody and messed up aka. pretty much the same as I've been for the past weeks. Do you know the feeling when something or someone makes you feel so much stuff that it corrodes into your brain and it's all you can think of ? When there seems to be nothing else to life than that one thing ? Do you ?

Be bloody thankful if you don't.

every glance is killing me

staring at you

is eerie

I feel like watching myself

not my face

but the inside of me

there are people 

who do that

you know

when you look at them

it's like your soul 

is right there

in their retinas.

bones of stone pierce the water

"I've got time on my shoulders."

Today I've been feeling kinda like I was an artist. Not that I'm talented enough in anything to actually be able to even pretend I am one but like, you know, I wrote a short story and some poems and song lyrics and I draw stuff and sang songs and I also went jogging and suddenly stopped and just listened and felt the nature breath through me. I really needed that.

You've seen that second picture a million times but hey, once more won't hurt you !

a sunny day

The sunnier a day, the crappier. Today's motto. Gosh it just keeps getting worse... Just kidding it's been kinda nice actually. I'm sorry again for the crappy pictures. Or wait no actually I like that first one ! I look happy in it. Weird. Anyway, off to... Do something productive (not).

Have a good one !

and we said we would die together

Oh the beauty of the weather right now ! Sun's shining and spring is finally here ! And I'm still so stressed out... But oh well, a couple more weeks and then it's over. Or not.

what are words if they're only for good times then they're torn

Sobbing. Argh what's happening to me..

when you look at me like that darling what did you expect

¨

My god what has happened to my inspiration towards photographing... It's utterly nonexistent at the moment so here's some oldies (yet again, sorry) and a great song of course. That pic of my face, I like my hair in it. The first pic is from Bremen, oh how I'd love to go there again ! Random facts for you to enjoy, I should probably go to sleep now but I can't because in my huge and intelligent brain I decided that drinking a huge can of energy drink at 8 pm. is a superb thing to do. Yay me.
