M. Ward - Undertaker
Oh, love is so good when you’re treated like you should be
The sky goes on forever in a symphony of song
And how water can flow like it’s streaming out of fountains
And all you gotta do is find a sword and a stone
Oh, but if you’re gonna leave, better call the undertaker
Take me under, undertaker
Take me home
M. Ward - Hold Time
This song just fell on me like a ton of bricks.
You were beyond comprehension tonight
But I understood
I understood
If only I could hold time
Hold time
Hold time
Words have failed me tonight, failed me tonight
But you knew what I meant
You knew what I meant
Yeah, you heard what I said the whole time
The whole time
The whole time
And I wrote this song about it
Cause I didn’t care about any worthless photograph
Yeah, I wrote this song just to remember the endless, endless summer in your life
Endless summer in your life
I hate going to sleep hungry. It’s like punishing myself for no reason. It’s probably just me feeling lazy but don’t you sometimes feel that you work so hard and deal with so much bullshit that we all deserve to be treated like a king/queen and be brought all kinds of our favorite foods while getting a foot massage at the same time and your favorite comedian is doing their bit in front of you? *stomache growl*
Digger Barnes - The River
This song has a lil’ Neil Young vibe going on. It’s on this dudes latest album who is headed out on the Revival Tour this year with Chuck Ragan. I don’t really know what inside me is just really backing this song a lot right now. My mind is full of a lot of thoughts and my heart is dealing with a lot of heavy emotions and I’m just finding a little bit of solace in this tune.
The Avett Brothers - If It’s The Beaches
I was recommended these guys by a co-worker after I was letting him know how amazing Monsters of Folk was last Sunday. This recommendation couldn’t have come at a most convenient time for me. The Gleam EP is serving as some sort of therapy right now.
I love the “do I really need this shit?” look people have when looking at stuff other people have thrown out onto the sidewalk.
Purchased and about to dive into the new Devendra Banhart album ‘What Will We Be.’ Listening to this might turn out to be a bad idea.
With lyrics like:
Believing/ That love is the only thing truly worth grieving/ Love is the only thing truly worth needing
I may not be ready. Here goes nothing.
Morrissey - Michael’s Bones
And his unkissed lips are blue
But his eyes still cry
The Avett Brothers - Backwards With Time
I’m on a huge Avett Brothers trip right now.
There’s A Reason - A.A. Bondy
This song is amazing. You just inspired me to turn off this Social Distortion and give this record a spin tonight.
It’s like they almost felt I needed it. On a peculiar day like today, my nephew just a while ago decided to come give me a hug and a kiss goodnight. I took advantage and hugged him back tightly. He hardly or actually never really does that but today he did. Don’t know why but I needed it and maybe it came from the person who I know really really meant to give me a hug that expresses nothing but love. I was invited to come out for a night of a lil’ sin/drinks and I declined because I was “drained” which I am. Had I gone out I would have missed this moment with Adrian. Funny the way certain things just happen sometimes.
