Petersfield, oh wonderful Petersfield : - )

Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

i wanna fly
Recommended by: Dr. acht, Austria
Artist: Keith Caputo
(too lazy to copy the wikipedia link)
Alot of memories (Aerodrome 2004, Obtarrenz, Soulseller) but only some, that REALLY REALLY matter when I listen to this song.
This one goes out to Dr. acht - the only other person I know who enjoys drinking alone as much as I do. Because other people just suck. You're better off alone. :)

I never want to act my age and Hyperborea have both some REALLY awesome tipps on today, so I also have to come up with something epic, although many of you know it already :)
This is maybe the best active band in Germany at the moment and one of the bands I've seen live most often.
Love it how this song explodes.
Amazing.

I don't know who
to trust anymore
There's a shadow running
thru my days
Like a beggar going
from door to door."
Artist: he
Totally well known, but still, one of my "heroes" - I just can't not put him on here.
"My life is changing
in so many waysI don't know who

There's a shadow running
thru my days
Like a beggar going

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Royal_%28band%29 )
I often wonder why I don't know more musicians from Italy or Spain who play music that I like. Apart from a couple of Punk Rock and Doom Bands I almost listen to nothing coming from Italy. Okay, I have to add here that some Italian acts do pretty good electronic music :)
So it says on Abradis blog.
Italian Post-Rock/Electronic - here you go.
This one goes out to myself. 10 to 15 people in the PMK, I'm the only one dancing and enjoying it, getting totally wasted and school on the next day. What a wonderful day, what a wonderful night. Good memories - sharing a concert with your best friend - yourself.
Up the royals!

Artist: Soap&Skin
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap&Skin )
Clearly remember the first time I saw Soap&Skin live in concert. This shy but strong girl. 18 years of age. We left the concert before the encore, Abradi and me were walking side by side straight away from the location, not able to speak a word for minutes. I can't really describe the feeling i had during these minutes with words, but Abradi knows exactly how it feels like. Was nice to share this experience with you.
She definitely found what she is here for.
Does everybody have something to be here for, some hidden talents, a destiny? If yes, do you have to find it yourself, or will „it“ find you? And GODdAMn - what is mine?

Together We Will Live Forever
Recommended by Brian, Denmark
Artist: Clint Mansell
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Mansell )
This song is the Outro of the movie "The Fountain". This film was recommended to me by Brian from Denmark, with whom I had the pleasure to see Mogwai in Denmark and who made me feel really welcome when I was in Reykjavik 2 years ago. Thanks for all that.
Also the other movie soundtracks by Clint Mansell (he did the music for all Aronofsky movies) should be heard - i guess you will all know the "Lux Aeterna", used in the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, but there is a lot more great music from him to discover.
No thoughts today either, just feel kinda empty at the moment.

Gone
Recommended by Georg, Germany (again - this time was long ago, thanks again)
Artist: Katatonia
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katatonia )
Because this blog has just started, I had like the first 7 or 8 songs already on my mind, but this now is a totally unexpected tipp.
I was just having the last beer with Rein, a couchsurfer from Belgium. 5 minutes ago we said goodbye to eachother - who knows when we will meet the next time.
Couchsurfing brings good experience along, but also alot of farewell-situations which made me think of saying good bye in general - that's why this song came up to my mind:
How I wanted you to stay
And now when you're gone
I'm on my own
When I was thinking this
Was something permanent
You were already thinking
Of going away
Nothing really to talk about here, but I'd like to ask you to think about a person you said goodbye to in your life. And because every end is a start, you could also think of the last person you got to know - just like I did tonight, but that's another story.
