have a listen // do or die



in the middle of the night
when the angels scream
I don't want to live a lie that I believe

time to do or die

I will never forget
the moment
the moment
I will never forget
the moment
the moment

and the story goes

<< on >>
x3

that's how the story goes
that's how the story goes

you and I will never die
it's a dark embrace

in the beginning was life
a dawning age
time to be alive

I will never forget
the moment
the moment
I will never forget
this night
we sing
we sing

<< on >>
x3

that's how the story goes

fate is coming
that I know

time is running
got to go

faith is coming
that I know

let it go

here right now
under the banner of heaven
we dream out loud

do or die
and the story goes

<< on >>
x3

and the story goes
<< on >>
x3

this is the story

fate is coming
that I know
(this is the story)

time is running
got to go
(this is the story)

fate is coming
that I know
(this is the story)

let it go

here right now
under the banner of heaven
we dream out loud
dream out loud

fate is coming
that I know
(time to do or die)

time is running out
(time to do or die)

fate is coming
that I know
(time to do or die)

let it go

new years eve


As I am sure all of you will have realized, it is New Year's Eve.
At least it is here in snowy Washington. Obviously there are other places in the world where it's already 2014, but for me and my point in time, 2013 remains.

If you're looking for it, here's my 2013-2014, end of the year, reflection type post.
And here's Christmas.

I start school next Monday. I'm a little bit anxious about it really. I've been rather excited. Then the excitement changed to completely ignoring the fact, to being stressed about it.
I know I shouldn't be worried about it, and that I'll do fine, but here I am; anxious.

I've been sick these past couple weeks. First with that which was akin to the flu, and now with something that is either a head cold, or a sinus infection. I really don't recommend it.

My listening has again broadened this past week or so, having downloaded some new albums.
My recently added playlist currently consists of:
Disc 1 of Devotion by Anberlin
the soundtrack for Pitch Perfect
a couple of Josh Garrels albums I didn't have
A Song For The Search by Solstice
Speak Every Word by This is the Giant
Home by TRAVELLER
Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend
and finally Rise by Skillet
and We As Human's title album since I should be seeing them in concert next month.

And of course, I am still thoroughly enjoying the album Bad Blood by Bastille, as well as the American Authors self titled EP.
The album I feel taking me into the new year however, is one that I listened to very much this summer, Love Lust Faith + Dreams by Thirty Seconds to Mars. What is probably my favorite song from the album, Do or Die, inspired my typography/art at the top of the post. (have a listen coming tomorrow!)

I am hoping to be finishing Fellowship Of The Ring today, to add another check to the number of times I've read it. Planning to follow it with Two Towers at some point, though quite possibly not before I finish The Silmarillion and Girl In The Arena, which I'm also re-reading. Not entirely sure. But I've been trying to reignite my passion for reading to what it once was.

Friday I am eagerly awaiting my chance to go and see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. An avid Jackson and Tolkien fan though I am, I have yet to see this long anticipated continuation of the trilogy's prequel. Our movie theater is small, and privately owned. One movie a week, Friday - Monday, one showing per day at 7pm. Thus we are lucky to get movies a month or so after their general release. It's an understatement to say I'm excited.

I am hoping to spend my New Year's Eve with a dear friend, marathoning Sherlock in geeky anticipation for the season three return, tomorrow.

Right now however, I have chores to finish, work I should do, and reading I'd really like to do.

See you all next year.
