Summer Well Festival 2013


"I guess I would leave
This world alone
Cause without you I'm just bones"

(Michael Kiwanuka, Bones


Laura-Mary Carter from Blood Red Shoes








Pop Up Cinema - David Bowie - 5 Years: The Making of an Icon












 
(Ollie Walter and William Walter from The Family Rain)














Spector performing in the background :)




















Suede had left the stage and everyone thought the concert was over..."BUT BUT...They haven't played Saturday Night. It can't be over"...and then they came back and all I heard through the evening, on the way back, was a strange mix of Vaccine's "Lack of Understanding","Wrecking Bar" and "Today she's been working, she's been talking, she's been smoking"....
 


"Today she's been working, she's been talking, she's been smoking,
but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go dancing, we'll go laughing, we'll get car sick,
and it'll be okay like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.

Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.

Today she's been sat there, sat there in a black chair, office furniture,
but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go drinking we'll do silly things,
and never let the winter in,
And it'll be okay like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.

Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.

we'll go to peepshows and freak shows,
we'll go to discos, casinos,
we'll go where people go and let go

oh whatever makes her happy on a saturday night..."
(Suede, Saturday Night)

Rainbow Parade


"With the open road ahead
I stayed in your bed for a night.
With the open road ahead
Don't believe the lies we are fed.

In the background of a battle field
I can hear a synthesiser
and I can hear drums
and when I shut my eyes I can hear an orchestra playing

Wanderlust, Wanderlust
Following my feet as I keep dancing
down this endless street."

(Polly Scattergood, Wanderlust)

Finally the tables are starting to turn [@today's Turkish solidarity protests]


"Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know
You better run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution"

(Tracy Chapman, Talkin' bout a revolution)

Vienna: Psychedelic spring



"Death grows like a tree that's planted in my chest
Its roots are at my feet, I walk so it won't rest

Oh, Baby I am Lost...

I try to push the colors through a prism back to white
To sync our different pulses into a blinding light
And if love is not the key, if love is not a key.
I hope that I can find a place where it could be."

(Asaf Avidan, Different Pulses)
