My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire

In those long summer days (and nights) the lyrics from Animal Collective come to my mind: "my bed is a pool and the wall's on fire". I have to study for my October exams, but I don't really feel like studying in this heat... I rather spend the morning in my swimming pool with the sunglasses on (like Ben Braddock after graduating).
I've been listening to a lot of new music lately, and I've also had time to watch a few new films with my boyfriend, and the one we've liked the most is Submarine (totally recommended). Besides from that, I've just discovered a pretty interesting new photographer Ildar Iksanov, I'm loving Discotheque Confusion more and more everyday, it's my fashion's daily read; and these are the songs I can't get out of my head these days:

Miami Horror - Under the Milky Way

Alex Turner's OST for the film Submarine

Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes

Is Tropical - South Pacific

The melody of the fallen tree

Place your ear to the ground, you hear a voice

It sings this song, the whole night long

I am the melody of the fallen tree

what comes between me, you and me

All your hopes and dreams they rise and fall

secretly, a cacophany

Underneath the leaves where the blackbirds turn blue

... If there's room for me,

There's room for you

{Windsor for the Derby - Melody of the fallen tree}

We are history

I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run from

I've got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man

In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because it's you and me, we're history
There ain't nothing left to say
When I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you know it's true
Living with me is like keeping a fool

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you know that I am me so come on
I'm thinking about history
And I'm living for history
And I think you know about me
Cause I am

And one and one is two
But three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do
And you're thinking about the things you do
I want to tell you my tale
How I failed in love and jumped out on my bail
Do you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
In every sky, in every kiss
There's one thing that you might have missed

Am I going to
a place that now belongs to you

...but you are me and so am I
Let's pick it up, let's even try to live today.
