One for the night // Kate Tempest: Firesmoke (Lyric Video)

Firesmoke aus dem neuen Album The Book Of Traps and Lessons. Lyrics:  [Verse 1] My visionary is a vision I watch her dancing by the window And it rips my flesh to ribbons And the whole world is just ripples In the middle distance I listen to her hips I push my kisses to her lips We move like we were born to move The night is teeth and pistons And there is something in this tenderness that makes me want to live Firesmoke [Chorus 1] Her mouth sets free this captive Come close to me Free me Let me untangle the madness that knots you I drop to my knees and crawl across you I tell you I’ve got you It’s firesmoke [Verse 2] So go on, give me three days of your body and mine Time is a blind eye and I see your mind in my mind’s eye You make me immortal You take me to space You are a planet A place I’ve not known Your body is home to rare gods I kneel at their temple I’m blown to bits, gentle, ferocious We are open Explosives have nothing compared to these sparks So let’s fall apart […]

Vom Kern zum Krieg, vom Fleisch zur Liebe, von der Gleichgültigkeit zum Weltuntergang. In a Nutshell – Ein Versuch die Welt zu erfassen. From a seed to war, from meat to love, from indifference to apocalypse. An attempt to capture the world in a nutshell. De la graine à la guerre, de la chair à l’amour, de l’indifférence à la fin du monde. In a Nutshell – L’essai de comprendre le monde. „In a Nutshell“ is this week’s Staff Pick Premiere!

Mixkit // kostenlose Art & Illustration Stock Bilder

Wirklich gute und frei verwendbare Stock-Fotos gibt’s inzwischen zuhauf – vorne mit dabei ist wahrscheinlich Unsplash. Wenn es um Grafiken, Kunst oder Illustrationen geht, sieht’s meist jedoch eher mau aus. Hier kommt Mixkit in’s Spiel. Neben kostenlosen Videos gibt es inzwischen auch eine Rubrik rund um Kunst und Illustrationen. Die Auswahl in den bisherigen Rubriken Relationships, Emotions, Activities, House & Home, Cities, Celebrations, Animals, Food & Drink, Nature, Experimantal, Portraits und Fantasy & Magic ist momentan noch relativ überschaubar, aber die Qualität stimmt. Und vielleicht ist ja genau das richtige Bild für’s nächste Projekt dabei.

One for the night // Lea Porcelain: Love Is Not An Empire

Wunderbares, neues Video von Lea Porcelain zu dem ebenfalls grandiosen „Love Is Not An Empire“. Everyone! Today is the BIG premiere of our music video for “Love Is Not An Empire” Please check it out and take a minute for this! It was made during our stay in Spain and Morocco and within a circle of dear friends. We described someone’s journey into total freedom that is shaded by loneliness and solitude, the task to overcome the ego and accept yourself and practice self- love. Here our character hitchhikes from town to town towards the place of her origin, looking for a way to clarify something truly important to herself. The loss of a family member, her own disconnection with the world, her desire to be the person she is or to be with the person she loves. The despair about it and the adventure to still go there and find it. We put everything we got in there. Please Enjoy this and remember: So, the place we come from will always be the place we go to. We are a country onto ourselves and we carry it wherever we go.
