The White Stripes - In the Cold, Cold Night

Undrar hur kallt det var när de skrev låten? Hade de snö?

Miley Cyrus - Younger Now [album review-ish]

Finally! After The Dead Petz-album and Malibu it's hard not to have big expectations! And I was also hoping for the same success as Kesha's Rainbow.

Here are my thoughts:

1. "Younger Now" - Took me a couple times until I got it, and that it's the perfect Miley song!
2. "Malibu" - Summer of 2017! Best track on the album!
3. "Rainbowland" featuring Dolly Parton - Perfect song to feat Dolly! ...since it was co-written by Dolly! Oh Dolly!
4. "Week Without You" - Old school Wrecking Ball
5. 'Miss You So Much" - But you really don't need much more than Miley's voice...
6. "I Would Die For You" - I'll probably need to listen to this a few times before I stop thinking about Kent - Kärleken väntar.
7. "Thinkin'" - The most pop of them all, so of course we have heard it before. I prefer Du var säkert på Holmön by Säkert!! And even Light It Up by Luke Bryan.
8. "Bad Mood" - Same theme as Thinkin', but Miley's voice gets more space.
9. "Love Someone" - This is a lot Miley but in a different genre, I think I like it.
10. "She's Not Him" - This song has the most Dead Petz-vibe in it. Therefore it's my favourite slow song on this album!
11. "Inspired" - I want the next album to be like this, just Miley and her voice.

Säkert! - Riot

Change was here! Riot by Säkert! made the drive up to The Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery even more powerful.

First Aid Kit - Wolf

Yesterday we woke up early to get to the start of Ironman 70.3 World Championship, women age group 25-29. Moonlight and stars. A hint of sunrise behind the mountain while driving. The sun was way up by the time everyone was in the water. And stayed there. Triathlon is a good spectator sport.

Today we've got up just as early. Time to drive to Great Smokey Mountains and through a third state, North Carolina.

Songs of Soil

I'll been waiting for a real moment for Songs of Soil. When you try to stay awake in the car when being up for almost 24 hours is not one of them. But in theory yesterday evening would have been perfect for Songs of Soil.

Songs of Soil - Sleep

Hurricane

Vacay. They say.
In some way.
Is keeping the hurricane.
At bay.

A short Swedish road trip...

...with badgaljiji! Jill Johnson is the country star of Sweden.

Important notes from Miley Cyrus

1. Be inspired

You're the handle on the door
That opens up to change


2. We can't stop

It's my mouth I can say what I want to


3. No one stays the same

No one stays the same
You know what goes up must come down
Change is a thing you can count on
I feel so much younger now
