Song Of The Day!

Since it is technically the next day, I'm going to go ahead and post this now. A warning - I barely slept last night and was throwing up for most of today so I am currently in a sort of half alive half dead state. Likely to be making loads of mistakes and also talking quite a lot of shit. Anyway, I found this tune (can't believe I didn't know it before??) a second ago and thought I'd spontaneously blog about it, because its slow, bassy underwater-ness is very appealing to my current state of mind. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and it won't sound as good? It is a risk that I'm willing to take. Enjoy:

Song Of The Day!

I wasn't actually the biggest fan of Frank Ocean before I heard his new album but it is guuurrddddd. SO my song of the day today is my favourite song from that album, Bad Religion. It reminds me of Prince at the beginning and I love the bitonality (yeah, that's right) at 1:18.


Taxi driver,
Be my shrink for the hour,
Leave the meter running,
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna,
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me,
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me.
If it brings me to my knees,
It's a bad religion.

This unrequited love,
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult,
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup,
I could never make him love me,
Never make him love me,
Love, love...

Taxi driver,
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives.
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise,
I can't trust no one,
And you say "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me,
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me.
If it brings me to my knees,
It's a bad religion.

This unrequited love,
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult,
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup,
I could never make him love me,
Never make him love me,
No, no.

It's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you,
Only bad,
Only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do.
