this is the last time i will hold your precious body
while days are passing by, and swallows each moment whole
i'll miss your lips... your smile, the glimpse in your eyes and your greatness
i hate to feel this way, but all good things must come to an end
this is ours. from now on there is no tomorrow my friend
how could i know? how should i feel?
i'm misled by words never spoken
how could i know? how should i feel?
i'm misled by a smile never shown

Here is the soundtrack to Japanese drama film Confessions (告白, Kokuhaku), directed by Tetsuya Nakashima and released in 2010.

Lust for Youth / War - The Glass House Etiquette


 
2011; 2 tracks
 
Here is a split between Swedish lo-fi synth duo Lust For Youth and War, another fuzzy synth/post-punk that features members of the bands Iceage and Sexdrome. Both groups are signed to Posh Isolation (with LFY being also signed to Italian record label Avant!), a Danish underground label that releases music of a primarily dark, melancholic, harsh industrial and noisy variety.

01 Lust For Youth - Denial, Veronica
02 War - Somme, Maggio

Killing Joke - MMXII


 
2012; 10 tracks
 
This is proof, purely, that good music can still be made today. You just have to look around a bit.

Killing Joke, a near-legendary English post-punk/new wave band, have been releasing music fairly consistently for almost three decades. I do not know of the quality of all of these releases, and to be honest I have never listened to them much before right now (as in, TODAY), but I am amazed at the beauty and quality of this music, especially considering the year it was released.


In any case, here is my absolute favorite song off of the track, "In Cythera" - it could have been released in 1984, maybe, although some metal/industrial elements in it might give away the age a little. I just really like this.

If you want the whole album, try this.

 
I've seen you, in a dream 
On a sunny day, where the skies are clear

2NE1 - I Love You


 
2012; 1 track
 
My absolute favorite South Korean girl-pop group 2NE1's new single "I Love You" is out today (or rather, yesterday), and I literally can't stop listening to it!! I am so in love with it. You can find it different places, or you can just hear it here. I am soooo in looove with itttt. Oops I already said that.

p.s. the spoken intro sounds a lot like lady gaga. :s


I love you every day, in every way
