Lykke Li Wounded Rhymes

I've been a fan of Lykke Li since her single "Little bit" in 2008. For the Twilight fans she is known for her song "Possibility".

Her new album, "Wounded rhymes" is somewhat of a melancholic, powerful, deep and haunting album. Her music videos are filled with symbols and metaphors. And in order to fully understand her songs you need to pay attention to the lyrics, because they can be decieving at first hearing.

With no further ado, here are my favorite tracks from the album:

I follow rivers

I know places ( with a surprising ending )

Jerome

Youth knows no pain

Sadness is a blessing

And the controversial video of Get Some

The album comes with 3 exclusive tracks: "The only" and 2 remixes for "Get some" and "I follow rivers".

Well, I hope this post will make you like the Swedish singer-songwriter, Lykke Li, some more :)

Decisions

Well, I've decided I will make this blog a sort of journal, where i'll post all of my favorite songs, books, videos, photos, etc. And maybe someone will find that interesting :) xo

About Books

Don't you just love books? Once you find that perfect one, that you read all through the night and after finishing it you feel a little incomplete and lost?
I've found some amazing videos about books and I wanted to share them with you. Here they are:

The Joy of Books

After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago (http://youtu.be/zhRT-PM7vpA), my wife and I (Sean Ohlenkamp) decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto (883 Queen Street West, (416) 366-8973).

Birth of a book

Shakespeare & Company: Iconic Bookshop in Paris

“The object of the book is so exquisite, and beautiful…”

With a cameo appearance in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and Richard Linklater's Before Sunset, Shakespeare and Company is arguably the most iconic bookshop in the French capital. The building, a 17th century ex-monastery has become a landmark in the 5th arrondissement. Apart from being a bookstore, it also serves as a haven where aspiring writers can stay for free - Allen Ginsberg and Anaïs Nin have both been guests in the past. Originally established in 1919 by an American called Sylvia Beach, fellow expatriate George Whitman took over Shakespeare and Company after Beach's death in 1951. Crane.tv meets with Whitman's daughter, Sylvia to hear about the future of this historical, literary gem. Address: 37 rue de la Bûcherie, 75005, Paris. www.shakespeareandcompany.com
