Hello World!!!
I took a much needed seven year break from blogging to fall in love. I must say it was a complete success. My husband and I will have our eight year anniversary in 16 days which is quite the achievement I guess.
Anyways quick update:
As you can probably tell thetriphop-blog.com is no more. I pulled the plug on that old windbag, because A: I didn't have the time to keep up with it , and B: wordpress.com is a little bit too hardcore for my non-degree having ass.
So in the meantime Back to Mine is up and alive so we can share and express appreciation for all of the downtempo, trip-hop, and Lo-Fi artists and tracks that we encounter in this INSANE journey called life.
Next subject of discussion....
GOT THE BLACK FRIDAY BLUES?
Ok I'm going to introduce this song to you first because it's somewhat of an acquired taste. The beat is absolutely fucking sick but the lead singer ,Raphaelle "Ra" Standell's voice, can be borderline shrill for the untrained ear. However, once you hear the lyrics and feel the intensity that she blows this one out, I really think you'll be as sprung on it as me. I seriously caught myself thinking " I don't know what the fuck this bitch is saying, but she sure is having fun singing it".
Besides that the group Blue Hawaii is rather fresh. "No One Like You" is off their sophomore album Tenderness, released October, 6th on Arbutus Records . I dedicate this song to my loving husband. This is THAT uniquely raw electronica track that possesses the youthful melody and cleverly unstable lyrics to make your heart skip an unforgettable beat. In a press release, the band describes the new album as "Bjork meets the XX and DJ Koze."
CHECK IT OUT: Blue Hawaii - No One Like You
[Intro]
(Someone like you, someone like you)
Love
[Verse 1]
Say that you want to feel
Say that you want me near to you
Say that we will grow up
Together, and not apart
[Chorus]
I'll always need someone like you
To surround me with the sunshine that follows you
[Verse 2]
We've been here so many times
Walked all the mountains (walked all the mountain)
Dipped in the streams (dipped in the stream)
And, sometimes I've floated along
But, sometimes I've drowned
And it's so scary, I can't forget
[Chorus]
I'll always need someone like you
To surround me with the sunshine that follows you
[Verse 3]
What if I only remember the good times?
Would I be lying to myself?
What if I denied that you ever hurt me?
Would I be true to myself?
Is that what you want from me?
Is that what you want from me?
[Outro]
There's never been no one like you
There's never been no one like you
There's never been no one like you
There's never been no one like you
(There's never been no one like you)
There's never been no one like you (like you)
(There's never been no one like you)
There has never been no one like you (like you)
(There's never been no one like you)
There's never, never been no one like you (like you)
(There's never been no one like you)
There has never been no one like you (like you)
(There's never been no one like you)
There has never been no one like you (like you)
(There's never been no one like you)
There has never been no one like you (like you)
(There's never been no one like you) (like you)
(Like you)
