Sunday Smiles ♥

Sunday can be a grim cocktail of a hangover from Saturday evening and the impending gloom of Monday morning, however it doesn't have to be this way! While I am unable to offer a better hangover cure than Berocca and a bacon sandwich, I do hope to bring a small smile to your Sunday, making the thought of Monday morning seem a little more bearable.  

Without struggle there is no progress

Frederick Douglass

 I know that the world is gonna smile again

when we go from the darkness into the light...

let the sun shine

Labyrinth

You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains.

You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.

You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows.

This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too.

Bob Marley

And in your own mind you know you’re lucky just to know her

White Stripes

You got to not talk dirty, baby

If you wanna impress me

You can't be to flirty, mama

I know how to undress me

I want to be your fantasy

Maybe you could be mine

You just leave it all up to me

We could have a good time

Prince

She said oh, well I know this'll sound cold

But I really have to go, it’s not that I’m not free

There’s nowhere I need to be,

It’s just your love’s not what I need

So don’t give it to me

Arctic Monkeys

When my blood stops,

Someone else’s will not.

When my head rolls off,

Someone else’s will turn.

And while I’m alive, I’ll make tiny changes to the earth

Frightened Rabbit

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you've had a lovely week!

It's a beautifully sunny day here in Glasgow today, I hope the sun is shining where you are, either way this song is for you all:

Anyplace is paradise When I’m with you, Give me a cave up in the mountains, Or a shack down by the sea, And I will be in heaven, honey If you are there with me

Elvis

The way I see it, is that if you want the rainbow, sometimes you gotta put up with the rain

Dolly Parton

Just because we don’t talk, doesn’t mean I don’t think about you. I’m just trying to distance myself because I know I can’t have you

Wiz Khalifa

If you love the life you live

Then you'll get a lot more done

Be more inclined to take the reins

Than turn away and run

It's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,

So I suppose self satisfaction be the key

My father is a wealthy, self made man

But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land

Instead he has a family who are

His biggest fans

Paolo Nutini

We only said good-bye with words 

I died a hundred times 

Amy Winehouse

What happens when your lucky number’s wrong?
What happens when you lose someone you’ve always counted on?
What happens when it feels like life is just stringing you along?
When things go wrong, we just go on. 

Pixie Lott

Thank you very much for reading my blog, I hope you are having a lovely Mother's Day! This song is for all you lovely mums out there...

Been there done that, messed around; I'm having fun don't put me down, I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

La Roux

Some days I feel like I don't deserve you and I wonder why you're all still around

Frank Turner

We're making our own way out

Noah and the Whale

I had a way then losing it all on my own

I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown

And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat

And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

Ellie Goulding

You can't choose what stays and what fades away, And I'd do anything to make you stay

Florence and the Machine

And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be

And satisfaction feels like a distant memory

And I can’t help myself, 

All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”

Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine?

Arctic Monkeys

I don't go around regretting things that don't happen

Virgil Thompson

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you had a lovely week and that the week ahead is full of promise and excitement.

This is Wolf Gang the King and all of his Men, I listened to it as I put this post together and I think it's a great song- I hope you feel the same!

The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours

Alan Bennett, The History Boys

I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not

MGMT

She knows me like I know myself...It's harder to leave with my heart on my sleeve than to stay and just pretend

Ed Sheeran

I would hate for them to think that you have to sound like someone else to get somewhere.

Amy Winehouse

And our hearts beat on like a drum
death will inevitably come
we are all helpless to the song
marching us all to our graves
marching us all to the grave

The Pierces

Oh we should be swimming 
Going on into the night as if we were different 

Zulu Winter

Great things are done when men and mountains meet
William Blake

I hope you have had a good week, thank you for reading my blog!


This week has been interesting! There is this guy called Alex that I really like but I think he just sees me as a friend. 
Then there's this other guy Jack who always replies to my messages and I think he likes me but he lives in another city and I'm not sure how much I like him back. It's a long and complicated story and I'm not sure what to do about it but in the midst of this muddle I have been loving this gorgeous gorgeous song by First Aid kit called Emmylou, I hope you enjoy it too...

The bed feels warmer sleeping here alone

Kelly Clarkson

I've got one hand on the steering wheel, one waving out the window

If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life

My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights

Kimya Dawson

There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how… Because maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me

Oasis

Doomed from the start we met with a goodbye kiss

Kasabian

The world is rough so if a man's gonna make it he's got to be tough
Johnny Cash

Get busy living or get busy dying
Stephen King

The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea
Vladimir Nabokov

 And we live in a beautiful world, Yeah we do... We live in a beautiful world.
Coldplay

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you have had a great week! 


I think M.I.A. is wonderful, she reminds me what music should be about. It should be about making a difference, pushing for change, it should be about things that matter. This isn't always the case with music that makes it into the charts- I'm looking at you Cheeky Girls!


Her latest track 'bad girls' is supporting women's rights campaigners in Saudi Arabia fighting women's right to drive. In the UK we take this for granted but in Saudi Arabia women and men are fighting for this and I fully support M.I.A. for bringing this issue into the charts


Plus it is a flipping awesome video!

What if in this life, full of care,

We had no time to stand and stare

Leisure by W.H Davies

My heart it like a singing bird 

Whose nest is in a watered shoot

My heart is like an apple tree 

Whose boughs are bent' with thickset fruit

Christina Rossetti

I'll be looking at the moon but i'll be seeing you

Billie Holiday

 O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space—were it not that I have bad dreams

Hamlet by Shakespeare

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing

Edmund Burke

May the odds be ever in your favour

Suzanne Collins

Most people have to talk so they won't hear

May Sarton

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you've had a good week! I came across this article from the Washington Post called pearls before breakfast, it's fascinating it asks whether in our modern world of constant rush we have time for beauty. 

If one of the world's best musicians played on one of the world's finest violins, worth millions of pounds, in the metro people would surely stop? 

Having time for beauty:

Give me shelter, or show me heart, Come on love, come on love, Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart, 

And I’ll be yours to keep,

Ben Howard

Well I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin, I'm gonna sing like no-one's listenin, I'm gonna kiss you like we're all alone, Cause this world is ours

The King Blues

We make it far too easy to believe, that true romance can't be achieved, these days

Arctic Monkeys 

All I want is the taste that your lips allow

Ed Sheeran

Thank you for reading my blog! Apologies for the very late short post today, I spent the weekend in Edinburgh for my friends birthday and I have just got back. It was a great weekend but I am beyond knackered and I am hanging like a pirate the morning after but I promise next week I'll be back to usual form! 

I hope your weekend rocked too, have a superb week!

This b-e-a-ut of a song made the journey back to Glasgow today feel a bit more manageable I hope it makes (what's left) of your Sunday a little bit more serene...
