Can’t stop listening to this today, especially since I felt like this all afternoon yesterday. The smooth-but-gritty harmony of guitars and punchy, haphazard static towards the end are euphoric:
You
What you looking at?
Head down
Too late for that
What you want
What you get
Know your place
Don’t ever forgetAnd this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I’ll give anything
I’ll give anythingHey you
What you running from?
All your hate
What you’ve become
Bet you didn’t think
It would happen to you
All used up
Half way throughAnd this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I’ll give anything
I’ll give anythingnine inch nails - “Head Down,” from The Slip, a free album made available under a Creative Commons attribution non-commercial share alike license

Sigur Ros’ “Glósóli” music video is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen
I know the translated lyrics that I pasted below might tell a different story, but I’ve always read the music video as a story about people who find their rhytm in life. The thing they were born, or have always dreamt, of doing.
Then they get the courage to take the leap.
Lyrics translated from Lyrics Mania:
Glowing Sun (Bright Sun)
Now that you’re awake
Everything seems different
I look around
But there’s nothing at all
Put on my shoes, I then find that
She is still in her pyjamas
Then found in a dream
I’m hung by (an) anticlimax
She is with the sun
And it’s out here
But where are you…
Go on a journey
And roam the streets
Can’t see the way out
And so use the stars
She sits for eternity
And then climbs out
She’s the glowing sun
So come out
I awake from a nightmare
My heart is beating
Out of control…
I’ve become so used to this craziness
That it’s now compulsory
And here you are…
I’m feeling…
And here you are,
Glowing sun…
And here you are,
Glowing sun…
And here you are,
Glowing sun…
