Every Morning on the train to work I find that there is one song that just sticks. I'm a firm believer that what you're listening to reflects what mood you're in. This blog is mainly for me to reflect back on what was going on in my mind on that specific day. Plus, I'd dig it if people enjoyed any of my personal recommendations!~
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
No spotify for the next few days, KEXP “Songs that matter” streaming all day long.
Fitz & Tantrums- Walk on by
Cause now I know, where its at
That’s right I’m wrong, it’s such a drag
That the bitch is back
But not for long
Any day now
Any way now
Winds of change they blow in my direction
ughhh, I really hate this hipster homemade music video, but whatever, trying to Chill the f*ck out, so I’ll let it slide. Baby steps!
Beach House- Myth
If you built yourself a myth
You’d know just what to give
What comes after this
Momentary bliss
The consequence
Of what you do to me
I like his alternative version better but I couldn’t find it via the youtube. God, I can’t wait for this week to be over. Most of the time I’m enjoying life on the daily, this week is kicking my butt in all sorts of ways.
Bob Dylan- Most of the Time
Most of the time my head is on straight
Most of the time I’m strong enough not to hate
I don’t build up illusion ‘til it makes me sick
I ain’t afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don’t even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time.
YES
Naomi Punk- The spell
Suck. This week sucks. Work/School/Mental breakdown suckers.
Yuck-Suck
Did you see the fire brigade
speed heavy and filled with rage
through the city, to solve my fire
after dinner i was burning with desire
you can never burn out
i heard you used to make love on a Tuesday
he flipped you over this way and that way
everybody makes love in their own way
it’s just a word, haven’t you heard
you said the other day
Writing a paper while Conan is on in the background. Lumineers are on, great excuse for me to take a quick break and enjoy some tunes. ahhh Saturday, it’s looking to be a good weekend~
The Lumineers- Ho Hey
(ho!) I don’t think you’re right for him
(hey!) Look at what it might have been if you
(ho!) Took the bus to china town
(hey!) I’ve been standing on Canal
(ho!) And Bowery (hey!)
(ho!) And she’d be standing next to me (hey!)
1,2,3 I belong with you you belong with me you’re my sweet heart
Alrighty, an adorable Wilco song brings any day to a great end. TGIF!
Wilco- I’m the man that loves you
All I can see is black and white
And white and pink and blades of blue
That lay between the words I think
On a page I was meaning to send her
With you I couldn’t tell if it bring my heart
The way I wanted when I started
Writing this letter to you
And if I could you know I would
Just hold your hand and you’d understand
How about some upbeat shit for a Friday? Oh no, you’d rather listen to depressing music? Well you’ve come to the right place!
Songs Ohia- Farewell Transmission
After tonight if you don’t want us to be
a secret out of the past
I will resurrect it, I’ll have a good go at it
I’ll streak his blood across my beak and dust my feathers with his ashes
Boy oh boy, work and school are keeping me busy. I like the grunginess behind this song, oddly enough it helps me focus.
St. Vincent- Dilettante
Hang on, street savant
My bank in my pocket
How far you think you’ll take us?
You’re like a party I heard through a wall
I’m always watching you through a hole
Let’s not forget, let’s not forget
Why we crawled here
Happy Sunday~
Norah Jones- Say Goodbye
I’m loosened up, but it’s too late to turn it around.
I’m dropping bolts on the ground and I’m coming unwound.
Don’t you miss the good old days,
When I let you misbehave?
Why you’re looking down like that?
I know that you dying to come back,
Please come on back.
