Forgot how great this song is.
strange transformations
happen after midnight across the nation
yeah we all enjoy a drink or two
but why they gotta do the things they do?
and if you don’t believe in Jekyll and Hyde
you gotta go the horrorshow they’re shootin outside
bottom of the bottle to the black lagoon
I see them linin up to howl at the moon
Never have I ever been clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin, but that’s the kind of state I’m in: swimming in a pool of Godly medicine.
Marmaduke Duke (Jack Knife Lee Remix) - Silhouettes
Florence and the Machine (Jamie T Remix) - Rabbit Heart (Raise it up)
Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness
It’s only hope that springs eternal
and that’s the reason why
this dripping from my broken heart
is never running dry

Scientists discover most relaxing tune ever
Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay.
Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.
Dr David Lewis, one of the UK’s leading stress specialists said: “‘Weightless’ induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested. Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.”
The study - commissioned by bubble bath and shower gel firm Radox Spa - found the song was even more relaxing than a massage, walk or cup of tea. So relaxing is the tune, apparently, that people are being Rex advised against listening to it while driving.

By your hand is the only end I foresee,
I have been dreaming you’ve been dreaming about me
Florence and the Machine - Shake it Out
I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind, I can never leave the past behind…
