HIGHASAKITE – TOUGH BEAUTY – The Vampire's Wife

Highasakite

I just stumbled across this wonderful song by the Norwegian band Highasakite, and its been on repeat all weekend. Vocalist and songwriter Ingrid Helene Håvik is completely entrancing, with such a tough and beautiful lyric. Monumental! I hope you like it. Love, Susie x

God Don’t Leave Me

God, don't leave me, I'll freeze
I panic in my bedroom half asleep
God, don't tempt me, I'm weak
And either way, it's a shitty way to leave
Creator of my awful mind
You crossed the line this time
You crossed the line this time
It's been a long time since the phone rang
And it was you
God, don't leave me, I'll freeze
If only 'bout a second of your time
If only 'bout a second of your time
God, don't leave me, I'll freeze
Like the last summer
God, don't leave me, I'll freeze
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me out)
God, don't leave me, I'll freeze
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me now)
God, don't leave me, I'll freeze
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me now)
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me now)
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me now)
Like the last summer
Like the last summer
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me now)
Like the last summer (God, don't leave me now)
Like the last summer

WHEN GRIEF SITS WITH YOU

Edward from USA sent in this beautiful but heart-breaking letter and I wanted to share it with you all. It is so painfully true of the fractured state inhabited by those fresh to grief – the sense of shattering. I send you all my love and thoughts, Edward. Be strong. We are all with you. And thank you for Ellen Bass’s wonderful and clear-eyed poem.

PIERRE LAROCHE – A TRUE VISIONARY

I met the makeup artist, Pierre LaRoche, on a photo shoot many years ago. He had just returned from living in New York and had settled opposite me in Edith Grove just off the Kings Road. I was in my early twenties. We became very close friends in the short time that he was alive — a truly beautiful soul. He told me the most wonderful stories about T Rex, and about creating David Bowie’s makeup for Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust. He was the most humble of men. He was in my opinion the greatest, most inventive makeup artist the world had ever seen, but back then these extraordinarily talented people did not receive the same recognition and status as they would today. So let’s remember Pierre LaRoche who was a true visionary genius and the most beautiful friend!

DOES THE SNOW LOVE THE TREES?

I’m sitting at the window and watching the sun spill across the courtyard and things seem suddenly full of potential and hope and good cheer. Goodbye Winter, Sweet Spring is here as I remember the beautiful words of Lewis Carroll.
