Garrett Gue: Sugar

Well she feels like sugar in the evening
Sugar in the morning time
And when the sun's shining bright she'll get that feeling
A little more sugar might do just fine
I'm talking ice cream, cinnamon rolls, an oreo shake and a diet coke
'Cus you know you gotta watch your figure
I'm talking brown eyes, a cute little nose, a smile that shines like the summer's snow
If this could happen

But I know it never could
Like I know she would taste so good
Until the flavor fades away

Well she stays up late
And wakes up early
Maybe a strawberry swirly inbetween
'Cus everybody knows that sleep is surely overrated when you're on caffeine

But I think this untrue
Like I think I'm just a fool
And the flavor fades away, fades away
Like a fingerpaint that was left out in the rain
It fades away
Fades away, fades away
Like a happy smile as the clouds chase it away
It fades away, fades away
It fades away

And though it never could
Believe me when I say I would
But I never really figured how to handle goodbyes too good

She fades away, fades away
Fades away, fades away
Like a fleeting thought of peaceful destinations
Fades away
Fades away, fades away
On a westbound train with my hopes and expectations
She fades away, fades away

The Bird and the Bee: How Deep is Your Love

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love
Is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
They should all just let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think
That I care for you
Well, you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love
Is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
They should all just let us be
We belong to you and me

Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love
Is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
They should all just let us be
We belong to you and me

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
How deep is your love

Kina Grannis: Valentine

Just discovered this one and felt this was fitting for the season :)

Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse that I love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse that I love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Yeah, it's a good excuse that I love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

Ohhh, Oh woah, Be my Valentine

Colbie Caillat: I Do

It's always been about me myself and I
If all relationships were nothing but a waste of time
I never wanted to be anybody's other half
I was happy to say that our love wouldn't last
That was the only way I knew to that you

You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Yeah, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I can live without it, I can let it go
Ooh, I did, I get myself into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,

Tell me is it only me
Do you feel the same?
You know me well enough to know that I'm not playing games
I promise I won't turn around and I won't let you down
You can trust and never feel it now
Baby there's nothing, there's nothing we can't get through

So can we say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
Wooh Can I get myself into
You make we wanna say

Me a family, a house a family
Ooh, can we be a family?
And when I'm old and sit next to you.

And when we remember when we said
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Cause every time before we spend like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won't live without it, I won't let it go
Just look at what we got ourselves into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
Love you

RAY LAMONTAGNE: Trouble

Trouble
Been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry
Just will not seem to leave my mind alone

Well I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

Trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
She come around and knock me down again
Worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend

Well I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
I said I love her
She's good to me
She's good to me

Eleanor Antin:
-A Jewish feminist from California, originally from New York.
-“I’m very definitive about what I want...I’m kind of a dictator.”
-She has a love affair with the past.
-Narrative is her largest passion, loves the aspect of story.
-She “invents histories”
-She did a series on photographing a hundred boots. These are really capturing images.
-She works a lot with film and ballet. “I adore ballet in some ways....but it is a totally ridiculous art form....i love it because it’s pathetic in its way...there’s something beautiful and sad about it.”

Raymond Pettibon:
-He was in college when he was 15!
-Most of his art is actually writing.
-For the most part he has a clean craft and individuality about his work, his texts add so much to his pieces. I think his choice to use ink and the strong contrast of the black and white really aids to his work as well.
I love the mix of words and a visual, so his pieces are very appealing to me.
-Very messsssy studio.
-Eccentric
-In his cartoons he interacts with characters of the past. (like gumbi :) )
-“....i don’t feel constrained by subject matter...I welcome anything into the drawing....I feel work is best when there is no final resolution.”

Elizabeth Murray:
-“....youre mixing up the paint, it’s making something happen with a very, sort of, fluid material that is constantly somewhat out of control...harnessing it somehow...harnesses the energy of the paint...I think that is the primary thing that painting is about. “
-She has cartoony shapes, rounded and inflated. They are stuck on to each other in some wort of way. She desires to make the shapes “live” together
-Uses intense color
-“....My mind letting my arm make the decision...and when you start to get the control then your feelings can start to flow....”
-She uses drawings to get her mind stimulated and to plan out before she does her final pieces.
-She describes the struggle of art in a really good way. How some days you’re so inspired, others you feel like you wanna give up. The ups and downs...

Walton Ford:
-Paints auto-bonds, birds of america, in a historical look but gives it this weird emotion
-Printmaker, paints as well,
-Turns up the irony.
-They give personification to the animals used (birds mainly, monkeys and elephants etc.).

Liar: Mumford and Sons

I know that things are broken
And though there's too many words left unsaid
You say you have spoken
Like the coward I am I hang my head

You lie careless your head on my chest
And don't even look at me looking my best
And all these things I can't describe
You would rather I didn't try

But please don't cry, you liar
Oh please don't cry, you liar
Oh please don't cry, you liar

Oh please don't cry, you liar
Oh please don't cry, you liar
Oh please don't cry, you liar

And you lean in for your last kiss
Who in this world could ask me to resist
Your hands cold as they find my neck
Oh this love that I've found, I detest
