Addiktion # 17 - Here's All I Know.



I have been totally consumed by this track for a good few months now. The album, Forget, is now being advertised all over spotify, and made it to 54th of the Rough Trade Albums of the Year.
The album is an interesting one, but not as impressive as I'd anticipated - this is, and it pains me to admit, a pretty standard affair for most Brooklyn "Alternative" artists these days.

But, this song is perfection. The words will follow me around forever.
And as per, he's a fucking babe, from Brooklyn, standard innit ;)


You're my favorite daydream,
I'm your famous nightmare.
Everything I see looks like gold,
Everything I touch goes cold.
Castles in the snow.

Here's all I know:
Your checkered room and
Your velvet bow.
Your Elvis songs in my ear,
That moonlit voice that I hear.

Now we are bold as brass
We walk along a golden crest
We hide away for a week

We only look and don't speak.

You're my favorite daydream,
I'm your famous nightmare.
Everything I see looks like gold,
Everything I touch goes cold.
Castles in the snow...
