Upside Down

6:10 PM | Edit Post
Upside Down
By Paloma Faith




This song sprang on me one day and I fell in love with it instantly. The throwback sound is fresh and the lyrics are about getting through the tough stuff of life. 

Angels watching over me with smiles upon their face 
Coz I have made it through this far in an unforgiving place 

It feels sometimes this is too steep for a girl like me to climb 
But I must knock those thoughts right down I do it in my own time 

I don't care (care care) 
I'm half way there (nowhere) 
On a road that leads me to straight to who knows where 

I tell you what (I tell you what) 
What I have found (What I have found) 
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool) 
I'm just upside down (Just upside down) 

Ain't got no cares (Ain't got no care) 
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules) 
I think I like (I think I like) 
Living upside down (Living upside down) 

Watching people scurry by rushing to and fro 
Oh this world is such a crazy place it's all about the go go go 

Sometimes life can taste so sweet 
When you slow it down 
You start to see the world a little differently 
When you turn it upside down 

I don't care (care care) 
I'm half way there (nowhere) 
And I'm just soaking up the magic in the air 

I tell you what (I tell you what) 
What I have found (What I have found) 
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool) 
I'm just upside down (Just upside down) 

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain) 
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules) 
I think I like (I think I like) 
Living upside down (Living upside down) 

(Whoa Whoa Whoa) 
You gotta slow it down 
(Yeah Yeah Yeah) 
But then you pick it up 
(Whoa Yeah Whoa) 
C'mon and try a little topsy-turvy back-to-front the right way round 
Take it slow slow slow (You gotta pick it up) 
Yeah Yeah Yeah (See you slow it down) 
Yo Yo Yo (Tell me something something) 

I tell you what (I tell you what) 
What I have found (What I have found) 
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool) 
I'm just upside down (Just upside down) 

Ain't got no cares(Ain't got no cares) 
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules) 
I think I like (I think I like) 
Living upside down (Living upside down) 

I tell you what (I tell you what) 
What I have found (What I have found) 
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool) 
I'm just upside down (Just upside down) 

Ain't got no cares (Ain't got no cares) 
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules) 
I think I like (I think I like) 
Living upside down (Living upside down)

Rolling in the Deep

9:49 PM | Edit Post
Rolling in the Deep
By Adele





She has taken the world by storm with this song. It's an amazing song where she sings about a loved one who has left her. (The ex-boyfriend for whom this was written is actually trying to sue for money now because she would have never become famous with this song without his acting like a jerk!)
Anyway, this is like the number one song in the world. The entire album is an incredible work!
Here's the lyrics for Rolling in the Deep:

There's a fire starting in my heart, 
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark, 

Finally, I can see you crystal clear, 
Go ahead and sell me out and a I'll lay your ship bare, 
See how I'll leave with every piece of you, 
Don't underestimate the things that I will do, 

There's a fire starting in my heart, 
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark, 

The scars of your love remind me of us, 
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all, 
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless, 
I can't help feeling, 

We could have had it all, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
Rolling in the deep, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 
You had my heart inside your hand, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
And you played it to the beat, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 

Baby, I have no story to be told, 
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn, 
Think of me in the depths of your despair, 
Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared, 

The scars of your love remind me of us, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
I can't help feeling, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 

We could have had it all, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
Rolling in the deep, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 
You had my heart inside your hand, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
And you played it to the beat, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 

Could have had it all, 
Rolling in the deep, 
You had my heart inside your hand, 
But you played it with a beating, 

Throw your soul through every open door, 
Count your blessings to find what you look for, 
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold, 
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown, 

(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
We could have had it all, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 
We could have had it all, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
It all, it all, it all, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 

We could have had it all, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
Rolling in the deep, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 
You had my heart inside your hand, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
And you played it to the beat, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 

Could have had it all, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 
Rolling in the deep, 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), 
You had my heart inside your hand, 
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), 

But you played it, 
You played it, 
You played it, 
You played it to the beat.

Cosmic Love

Cosmic Love
By Florence + The Machine






This blog would be absolutely worthless if I did not add Florence. She came unto my playlist a couple of months ago and the Lungs album above has remained a favorite. (I am actually going to see her in concert in a couple of weeks!) Florence Welch is an amazing lyricist and conveys such great emotion in her songs. This song is about a someone falling in love with someone and isn't sure if there will ever be something substantial between them. Just when she thinks it's over she feels the other person's heart beating for her. It's so much more than this, but let's let the lyrics speak for themselves.

The lyrics:
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

Pumped Up Kicks

Pumped Up Kicks
By Foster the People



This song's catchy beat and laid back feeling, makes a great summer song. The lyrics are far from summer fun however. They are supposedly about a young man who takes his step-father's gun to a mall and kills a bunch of people. The band was trying to portray what feeling the man could have had going on at the time. To read a story that I believe that this song is based off of, please go here.

Anyways, here are the lyrics, Enjoy:

Robert’s got a quick hand.
He’ll look around the room, he won’t tell you his plan.
He’s got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he’s a cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don’t even know what.
But he’s coming for you, yeah he’s coming for you.
[Chorus]
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
[Verse Two]
Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he’s coming home late.
And he’s bringing me a surprise.
‘Cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice.
I’ve waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair’s on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.
[Chorus]
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”
“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”

Generator ^ First Floor

Generator ^ First Floor
By Freelance Whales


I figured that it was high time to get my music blog back in order and what better to start with than the song that I can't get enough of:  Generator ^ First Floor

We get up early just to start cranking the generator
Our limbs have been asleep we need to get the blood back in 'em
We're finding every day several ways that we could be friends

We keep on churning and the lights inside the house turned on
And in our native language we are chanting ancient songs
And when we quiet down the house chants on without us.

 The various sounds and vocals that are squeezed into this tune are not competing with one another, but come together harmoniously that gives the song a feeling like it's growing, breathing, and living on its own.

About Us

What is music without words?
Even those songs that leave us with nothing but different sounds,they still paint a picture in our minds and hearts,leaving behind a legacy, a story
once heard.An impression is made and there's no going back

Dj Dostoy believed in a man's words and felt for his stories
so he chose to stand behind his name, Dostoyevsky. His words portrayed human nature and emotion in both suffering and joy. Lyrics and music in songs also strive to portray these elements of life.

For Madame Cymbeline, music is an expression of something deeper and
something felt but not always readily understood.
She chose a name that came from a man who created something deeper
and full of passion and which is commonly misunderstood, Shakespheare.

What we like most about music is that it is not always what it seems. To one person a song could mean something entirely different than it does to the person standing beside them. Music is abut life and a reaction to living that life. Perhaps a chance to let go and be free to feel something different or a time to reflect on the past while looking ahead to the future.

This can be done through rock, pop, classical, indie, broadway musical, and all kinds of genres. All of which will probably make it on here.


This is our music.

Enjoy,

DJ Dostoy and Madam Cybeline
