Her Morning Elegance

Oren Lavie's "Her Morning Elegance"

WHY IT MADE THE LIST:
This song made it to the list, first off due to the
fantastic video that they put together for it. The second reason
is the thoughtful lyrics and swaying voice that sings them.
To me,(and I can say this because it's my blog...) the song
speaks about a woman, unknown and ordinary,
who seems to be going through a stint of
depression. But life carries on, thus the beat
behind the sadness.

Lyrics :

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

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
