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 :]
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.
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 know i’ve been MIA lately. But i was travelling around the country. But i’m back now, with lots of good music to share. <3
