Last song for tune-age, Friday. actually the first song that i discovered today.

The XX - Night Time

You mean that much to me
And it’s hard to show
Gets hectic inside of me
When you go
Can I confess these things
To you
I don’t know
Embedded in my chest
And it
Hurts to hold

I couldn’t spill my heart
My eyes gleam looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hold my words, keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

Night time
Sympathize
I’ve been working on
White lies
So I’ll tell the truth
I’ll give it up to you

And when the days come
It will have all been fun
We’ll talk about it soon

I couldn’t spill my heart
My eyes gleam
Looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hope my words keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

Night time
Sympathize
I’ve been working on
White lies
So I’ll tell the truth
I’ll give it up to you
And when the days come
It will have all been fun
We’ll talk about it soon

3. Yet another thing that made me cry. 

The children of lesbian parents outscore their peers on academic and social tests, according to results from the longest-running study of same-sex families.

The researchers behind the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study say the results should change attitudes to adoption of children by gay and lesbian couples, which is prohibited in some parts of the US.

Children of lesbian parents do better than their peers.

4.  Whoah tumblr cool!

contact high-five

n. an innocuous touch by someone just doing their job—a barber, yoga instructor or friendly waitress—that you enjoy more than you’d like to admit, a feeling of connection so stupefyingly simple that it cheapens the power of the written word, so that by the year 2025, aspiring novelists would be better off just giving people a hug.

[1 is from mikey, 2 is from farmer’s market, 3, 4 and 5 is from tumblr—which is why i haven’t killed my account, even if  love how much easier posterous has turned out to be. you can’t beat content just yet or just sheer wit]
