Idea of happiness

It feels like summer is already here! And these images reflect my idea of hapiness (like the song from Van She ♥): long sunny days, lay in bed or by a deep blue swimming pool while reading something, make pink lemonade, eat ice cream, sit on the garden,take pictures of pretty flowers, paint your nails with pastel colours, go shopping, and have fun dancing during the warm summer nights to songs like the ones from this mix, that include songs from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Van She, Sebastien Tellier and Yelle. Perfect for a summer party:

Days of magic, nights of disco

...with April and May come the bright colours, fluorescent clothes, pink skies and hairs, red lips and mint nails, music festivals and neverending disco parties. And you can feel all that by listening to this mix by Suit, with great nu-disco and synth-wave songs that make you feel like you're back to the 80s: Stuck in The Sound, Yuksek, Jupiter, Sébastien Tellier, Citizens!, Tears For Fears, SIMØNE, Ghosthouse, Miami Nights 1984, Little Boots and other great artists:

Dream of horses

...

If you're ever feeling blue, then write another 
song about your dream of horses... (Belle & Sebastian)

"I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. 
You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet." (Lost in Translation)

I've been listening to these two songs a lot lately and they both have a horse-themed video. Trust's video for "Candy Walls" ♥ is a marvelous abstract piece with a 70s vibe, sort of inspired on Equus, directed by the photographer and film maker Eva Michon. Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski are the members of the duo Trust, and they also are the stars of the video! Robert has an amazing voice and he's quite charming too. He looks like a modern James Dean riding a motorcyle with a vintage brown jacket, and he also reminds me of River Phoenix on My Own Private Idaho. 


The Munk & Peaches video, beautifully directed by Lyall Coburn, shows us a cute girl who lives in a country house, one of these dreamy places like the one from Stealing Beauty, where she has horse pics on the walls of her bedroom and walks through yellow fields under the sun with a little horse. The song is a version of the Stephanie Mills disco classic "You can't Run From My Love".


Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! 
xx
