Is there anything really more beautiful than this? The answer is no.

Next song, Sometime around midnight by Airborne Toxic Event.

When I first heard this song a couple months back I’m going to admit I hated it. For some reason I hated their name, i thought it was just too much and judged the song on it. But i decided to give them a second chance when my sister put on their cd on the 3 hour car ride from Orlando to Siesta Key over Thanksgiving. I actually listened to the words and the music this time and it gave me the chills. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of their cd now.

So it’s been a busy week…

So i’m going to post 2 songs since I’ve been slacking lately…

Ok first, Pinback. LOVE this band. I was obsessed with the song “good to sea” for about 3 months. It’s a really depressing song with a dancy, upbeat feel to it. It makes me nod my head for sure. My favorite lines are:

It’s really not that kind
To terrorize one in one’s sleep
And if you really tried, you’d probably cut the chase too deep.
It seems to me that that’s a fine way to keep you off your feet.
It seems to be no other side for the two ideas to meet.

I’ve been listening to it again lately because I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with school, and the lines “got to keep your mind on somewhere else…got to keep on thinking of your health” are really applying to me right now. Just got to keep thinking of Nashville and making sure I don’t get sick :]

Oldie but goodie…

Today’s song is Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams. I’m in a very melancholy mood at the moment. And this song just came on. Pretty perfect. It’s also from one of my favorite movies, Elizabethtown, which I just watched recently on tv. Sadly, I read recently that Ryan Adams will be taking an indefinite hiatus in music. :[

“I wish you’d make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you’ll rest sometime
I wish I could…”

Today’s song is Knife by Grizzly Bear. I heard it while watching my new tv show obession. It’s a UK show called skins. Each show focuses on a different character. Besides class, it’s the only thing i’ve been doing. I have the hiccups.

Today’s song is Sleepyhead by Passion Pit. I saw the music video for it a while ago, but then I heard it again today in the car. And fell in love with it. And it doesn’t hurt that the singer is a dream boat. What can I say…I have a thing for jew-fros and beards. And the music video is sweet. WATCH IT!

Love loud, don’t lose loud.

Todays song is The Re-Arranger by Mates of State. I love the chorus. The verses are much faster and then it kind of just goes into this slower, funkier chorus. I haven’t stopped listening to their new cd since I first heard it. I think if i had a band I would want to sound like them.

I don’t really like lady gaga. mostly because i think she’s trying way too hard to be different. but i saw this video and i actually like this version of this song and she does have a great voice. Enjoy.
