Northern Wind | City & Colour | Song Of The Quarter | Q3 2017

This song is #12 on my “most played” songs in iTunes.  The lyrics haunt me in a good way.  Just love the sound of Dallas.  3 years ago today… it played in a earbud against a wall…  After the song finished she could take her hands off the wall.  I needed the entire song to figure out how she kissed and I needed a head-start.  As the story goes… Two hours later… we went for drinks and left being in front of  that wall.  What a fucking crazy night.  Mind blown.

So for the entire length of the song… I could stand there and kiss her and all she could do is stand against a wall with her hands to her sides.  Did I mention it was the first time I met her in person…

I’m late picking my song of the quarter this year.  We will call this Q3 of 2017.  I still can’t decide on a song that represents my 2nd quarter of 2017… I will think of that one and update the blog.

“Northern Wind”

You’re the Northern Wind
Sending shivers down my spine
You’re like fallen leaves
In an autumn night

You’re the lullaby
That’s singing me to sleep
You are the other half
You’re like a missing piece

Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don’t know
What you do to me

You are all four seasons
Rolled into one
You’re like the cold December snow
In the warm July sun

I’m the jet black sky
That’s just before the rain
Like the mighty current
Pullin’ you under the waves

Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
You don’t know
What you do to me

I’m the darkest hour
Just before the dawn
And I’m slowly sinking
Into the slough of despond

Like an old guitar
Worn out and left behind
I have stories left to tell
They’re of the healing kind

Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
If I could just
Find you tonight
If I could just find you tonight
Oh my love

Do do do [x5]

 you have no idea.  maybe you do a little

you don’t see yourself like i see you.  you are strong.  you are soft.  you are incredible.

you are sensual as fuck.

you don’t know how much i soak up the smell of your skin and take my time to burn you into my head.

so many times i looked at you and wanted to photograph you so you could see yourself the way i see you.

to have you lying there open to me and you allow me to have you so many ways and you feel comfortable in your skin and your mouth is open waiting to be kissed.

lucky lucky lucky man i am to have had a woman with a desire to be kissed and teased.

to lie at your thighs where my chin rests…  only to linger longer and soak up your bliss and glow is such a crazy memory that makes me pause and smile how lucky i am/was.

to see you lying there waiting to be devoured …

the anticipation.

my mouth watered and my hands were ready.

you have no idea.

Novo Amor & Ed Tullett | Cottage Thoughts | Fall Afternoons + Dark Nights

1-20141005-DSC_0135

Spend a morning in bed with her and listen to the rain fall on the window up north with grooves from Novo Amor, Ry X and Bon Iver.  The wind through the trees and the soft sheets on the cottage bed.  Time does not matter.  Enjoy her and take your time with her.  The entire day is ahead of you.  Coffee is ahead followed by breakfast on the front porch looking out through all the windows at the lake and listening to the dock underneath the sounds of the Sunday Morning playlist.

But lying in bed listening to Novo Amor is pure sweetness.  In the morning, afternoon or when it gets dark early.

Such a beautiful songs that makes my mind wander.  Novo Amor is one of those artists.  Love.  It brings me calm inside and also let’s my mind wander of dim nights with the ipod playing on the night stand docking station.  Below is a collection of a couple of songs.  Highly recommended when you need some “peace” in your life or lie with that special someone.  I would download them and add them to a playlist mixed in with some Bon Iver and a little Ry X.

(I’ve created a playlist of some sweet songs here that you can stream on YouTube and I will add to this playlist when I find new songs that fit the mix.  Right now there is 28 songs.)





Ry X | Pure Nakedy Music In My Mind | Lie In Bed Music

 

Ry X is pure lust.  pure lie down on top of the covers type of music on a hot summer’s day or evening.  it’s calm.  soothing.  magical.

people also need countdowns.  countdowns are fun.  i would suggest to have a countdown screensaver and find an exact moment to countdown.  try and work out the exact moment you will enter her house and where you will find her inside.

i found a little gem on youtube and i ripped it.  i ripped it to bring me back to so many sweet sweet sweet moments in my head from visits with LMS.  it makes me smile.  smirk.  it makes me forget what i’m doing.

blindfold someone and kiss them to it.  make them a fan of it also.

then repeat.  make it a magical hour.  I will add an album cover and make a “Lie With LMS” mixtape with handpicked songs.

everyone needs to be teased.  what you can’t see you will use your other senses to see and feel things.  just sayin.

Ben Howard Concert | Toronto | Massey Hall

I was lucky to have gone to his third concert in Toronto at the beginning of 2015 with Little Miss Sweetness at Massey Hall.  Below is a snippet of part of my OSE Video that covers the concert.

It was simply beautiful night.  On our way to our seats… we bumped into Bear and Chris Bond sneaking up at the top deck of Massey Hall to stand and check out the venue and the opening act.  This concert was such a wonderful night for so many reasons.
