Like there's no tomorrow

Blonde Hair, Blue Jeans has amazing taste, and as such I feel extremely honored that she has made me the recipient of a tag which requires the tagged blogger to post a song which they feel accurately represents their personality and style. Now I'm not sure if all of you know this because I'm generally extraordinarily vague in doing so, but virtually every single post title on Modern Guilt is either the title or lyric of one of my many favourite songs. In fact, my love of music came before my love of fashion, and admittedly inspired my interest in clothing to begin with.
The shoegaze grunge of My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3, the decadent exotic bohemia of the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, the working-class-with-a-paycheque quirk of Jarvis Cocker and the Verve, the slim, dark, vague Americana gothic of Bob Dylan and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: the music and style of these artists, amongst countless others, has been an undeniable key force in my development not only of style but of self as well, significantly more so than any fashion designer or stylist. As I have mentioned previously, a tireless personal aesthetic is what I aspire to, and the musicians I admire tend to have this in droves.
And now, on with the show. This was an interesting exercise for me because there are just so many songs to choose from...as Richard Ashcroft prophetically expressed in Bittersweet Symphony, I truly am a million different people from one day to the next. But I digress, because Bittersweet Symphony is not actually the song I'm choosing.
Instead I'm going to go with something a bit obscure - The Stevenson Ranch Davidians, their mouthful of a name aside, are one of the best new bands I've heard in a LONG time and I think that their song 'No Tomorrow' doesn't describe me so much as it accurately presents the precepts by which I tend to live my life. Moreover, I've included a stream of the song so that you can all listen to it as well- trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Walking around, your feet off the ground
Head in the clouds, not coming down.
Don't want to see, don't want to hear, don't want to be
Anywhere near your life.

You've made up your mind, now you don't to want to know.
Stop living your life like there's no tomorrow.

What will you do? Now you know that it's true.
Life will go on with or without you.
Your day has come, comes like a drug
It caught you off guard, you had to start again.
Again. Again. Again and again.

You've made up your mind, now you don't to want to know.
Stop living your life like there's no tomorrow.

And I'm off for the weekend. I hope everyone has a great one, and thank you for all of the support as always!
