[ 700 Houses ]

Where have all of my saints gone?
Will they come marching in?


"…A strange art, music; the most poetic and precise of all the arts, vague as a dream and exact as algebra."

- Guy de Maupassant (via tierradentro)

"Top 5 Disney songs!"

(This list may or may not be influenced by this year’s Secret Government Eggo Project.)

1. I See The Light
now she’s here, shining in the starlight
now she’s here, suddenly I know
if she’s here, it’s crystal clear

I’m where I’m meant to go 

2. Part of Your World
and I’m ready to know what the people know!
ask them some questions, get some answers
like what’s a fire?
and why does it - what’s the word?
burn? 

3. That’s How You Know
everybody wants to live happily ever after
everybody wants to know their true love is true  

4. Once Upon a Dream
and I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem,
but if I know you, I know what you’ll do
you’ll love me at once, the way you did
once upon a dream 

5. When She Loved Me
when somebody loved me,
everything was beautiful.
every hour we spent together
lives within my heart. 

6. YES I AM CHEATING this is from the stage show though If I Can’t Love Her
no beauty could move me
no goodness improve me
no power on earth,
if I can’t love her 

(honorable mentions: God Help the Outcasts, Happy Working Song, the Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast as well as Something There and Belle, Just Beyond the Riverbend, I just really love Disney music ahhhh.)

FAIR OF FACE AND PURE OF HEART || a mix for okayophelia’s Fairytale Princess

Her hair is long and curls beneath the sun like a crown. She loves, wholly and unashamed, so deeply that she thinks it might consume her. She knows in her heart that this is what makes her mighty, and she will fight tooth and nail for it; she will use every dirty trick in the book, she will use magic and lips painted pink and the beauty and wisdom given her by a long line of wild queens. She is noble, by birth and nature, and birds come to her call, for all the creatures of the wild, all the true, unsullied beings of the earth adore her for the delight and desire alight in her soul. She is defined by her love; but it is she who defines what her love is, and what she would do with the vast power of it.

All of Your Sisters- Mazzy Star
Wilderness- Bat For Lashes
Child I Will Hurt You- Crystal Castles
Abraham’s Daughter- Arcade Fire
Bel Air- Lana Del Rey
You’ll Be Queen One Day- Ramin Djawdli
Pretty Face- Soley
Only If For A Night- Florence & The Machine
The King’s Daughter- I am Harlequin
An Ending (Ascent)- Brian Eno
{LISTEN HERE}
