Music Spotlight- Army of Love Fanvideos

These lovely fan videos have been showing up and I love them so much. My fellow Moonchildren as so creative. How I wish I could be with you all and share in moments like these.

This is from Otakon...another reason why I wish I'd gone!!! These are all great cosplayers and the Lolitas are just too freakin cute:)

Kerli shared this on facebook today. These girls are amazing. The created their own bubble goth looks and gathered their own Army! I love all the detail shots they do and the message at the end is just so heart warming.
I wish that I live closer to some Moonchildren so I could be part of something like this.

Lastly this amazing sign language video. This embraces what the Army of Love means to me!

Bless all you lovely Moonchildren and I.L.U to all

Music Spotlight- One Eyed Doll

Time to introduce you to another artist I really enjoy...drum roll.....Kimberly Freeman and the One Eyed Doll!!!! Sadly I can't say that I am the one who discovered this gothic jewel, my awesome boyfriend did.  He played me Brief Candle (on my Princess Playlisit) and I was hooked.

Their music is a lovely mix of youth, death, cuteness, and the macab. I guess I wouldn't suggest this to someone who can't see the beauty in dark moments. Sadly some of my favorite songs don't have  music videos but here are two I'd like to share. 

This song is great! 

I hope that you enjoyed! One of the cool things is that you can download any of their music right from their official site. Because it's coming right from them you can donate any amount you wish for a whole album, please be nice and give them more then a dollar, this is their job. I suggest the albums Monster and Break!

Music Spotlight-Inspiration from one Lady

Two of my favorite songs are both about the Lady of Shalott. Lady of Shalott is a Victorian ballad written by  Alfred Lord Tenneyson. It's a Arthurin tale of a women who was lost in day dreams who watches the world of Camelot from her mirror. It really a tragic tale of how she breaks her own heart in but it is still so very lovely. 

This is Loreena McKennitt version of the poem, some of the verses are left out so you can read the whole ballad here. Her voice is so lovely it just makes the words come alive in my head, and I just want to dance around whenever I listen to it. 

Next song also comes from the Lady of Shalott but is very different. Emille Autumn is one of my favorite musicians, her voice is so very haunting, and she sings about very unique topics. 

Her song had a darker feel then Loreena's but I still find is so lovely.

Now I will leave you with some lovely images created about our lovely Lady.

Music Stoplight- Apocalyptica

Sorry for not posting on Monday again but this post needed to to wait because on Tuesday night I went to see Apocalyptica. They are one of my favorite bands, and still the best concert I've been too. I have seen them once before about two years ago, I was so blown away by their energy and performance.

They started by doing metal covers, like Metalica and Pantara, on just their three/four cellos. Now that they have become bigger they have been able to create their original music that is not only hard core but also lovely at the same time. If you are looking for something that is all about the music, not necessarily the lyrics, Apocalyptica is the way to go, and see them in concert they will blow your mind.

 Nothing Else Matters

I Don't Care(original)

Find some of their music here. 

No words to describe

Ok and this is what I wore to the concert, where I danced my head off...my neck still hurts.

Monday Music Spotlight - Fireworks

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week! This week my music spotlight is Katy Perry's Firework. I'll be honest some of her songs don't really appeal to me but I do love this song. It is very uplifting. By being who we are, we can shine so bright! I try to be true to myself as often as possible and on the days I truly do, are the days I am truly happy.
Another reason I love this song is well....fireworks. They are one my favorite things ever! It may be because they make me think of Disney but that's ok.

So on with the song..."Baby your a firework, come one let your colors burst!"

Sorta Monday Music Spotlight-Howl

So I was planing on every Monday posting something with music. Either a song that really hits me, or an artist I love. Having this done by Monday did not happen but better late then never. On with the music!

Florence + the Machine is my new love! Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful. One of my favorite songs is Howl. The song really describes it's self. Here Florence performing the song and the lyrics with pictures I feel fit the song. 

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free

Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out

The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness

And howl, howl
Howl, howl


Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

And howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters

A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

To start with I chose my Princess Playlist these are the songs I love to listen too when I feel like I am a beautiful Lolita Princess.

Artist, Lryics, Outfit 1

So the other day I was staring at my closet and started to think about what would I wear if I was going to "insert event here." So I have decided to do posts about some of the music artist I would love to see and the outfit I would wear to their concerts. I'm going to start with what I would have to say is my all time favorite musician, Emile Autumn. http://www.myspace.com/emilieautumn She has such an unique voice and creates such a haunting sounds. She also has a crazy style that I would love to wear!


One of my favorite songs is "Misery Loves Company" Here are the lovely lyrics:
It's not the time
It's not the place
I'm just another pretty face
So don't come any closer
You're not the first
You're not the last
How many more?
Don't even ask
You're one more dead composer

Do I need you?
Yes and no
Do I want you?
Maybe so
You're getting warm
Tou're getting warm
You're getting warmer oh
Did you plan this all along
Did you care if it was wrong
Who's getting warmer now
That I'm gone

Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others

I'm not for you
You're not for me
I'll kill you first
You wait and see
You devil undercover
You're not a prince
You're not a friend
You're just a child
And in the end
You're one more selfish lover

Do I need you?
Yes and no
Do I want you?
Maybe so
You're getting warm
You're getting warm
You're getting warmer oh
Did you plan this all along
Did you care if it was wrong
Who's getting warmer now
That I'm gone

Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others

You're so easy to read
But the book is boring me
You're so easy to read
But the book is boring me
You're so easy to read
But the book is boring
Boring boring boring boring
Boring boring me

Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me
If you care
Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me
If you dare
Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me
If you care
Pray for me
If you want to
Pray for me you fucker
If you fucking dare

Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybody else
But hell is others


This I what I would wear. Both dress and bloomers are Bodyline. Note my Hello Kitty band-aid on my right hand, I got hurt at work again! I wish that Emile would come and do a whole tour in the US. She has only come to NYC a few times. Go and listen to her music
