fireflies

"I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep"

[Owl City, Fireflies, Ocean Eyes]

Hong Kong as a birthday gift

My favourite destination – Hong Kong.

That’s the place where I spent my 28th birthday. Wonderful time. And … I felt so happy!

Thank you, Hong Kong!

undisclosed desires

"I want to reconcile the violence in your heart

I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask,

I want to exorcise the demons from your past,

I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart"

röd

New album from Kent is out! My favourite band from Sweden is back with "Röd" ("Red") – of course it’s in Swedish, but it doesn’t really matter. They are awesome! Electronic, but still rock, melancholic and beautiful.

And the lead single "Töntarna" is still on the top of my list.

misty

Misty morning in the area where I live.

Or is that pollution?

 

Gray, melancholic, sleepy and smoky…
