Vera Blue has one of the purest voices on the list and this song is a banger. I love how we start out so calm and build to the explosion of sound.
The beat drop in this song is so satisfying! Its fun from beginning to end and a tale of self-reflection and growth and of course, a request that someone not go.
I hope you capitalize on the energy it brings and rock out this Tuesday!
Go forth and conquer today! I’m right behind you. 😀

This is a such a pretty song. Beautifully sad.
“You would hide yourself in a shroud, as your hair started falling out, when you took off your dressing gown, Sophie, your mother was dressed in black, with a lock of your hair in her hand, and I know there was no turning back, Sophie”
Be thankful for what you have today. Share that gratitude.

A little slow-moving ditty for you today. Sharon has such a passionate voice and you can just hear the emotion dripping off of it.
Musically/instrumentally I think it’s a beautiful mix. Well done there for sure!
Hope you have a wonderful day today! Don’t get into trouble! 😉 BGDG.
This song feels like some sort of female-vocal-led Death Cab for Cutie/Jimmy Eat World mash-up.
“Pick it up, baby, if we’re moving too slow, I got the seat back, windows up, just say it, I’m yours, now every word is heavy, tell me what you wanna know, you’re my shotgun lover and I want it all”
It really seems to me that you can just insert Jim Adkins on that chorus and it would work perfectly as a Jimmy song.
What are you doing to give yourself some fun today? I’m checking out Jack’s baseball game and gonna take some photos. Hope you enjoy yourself!

I’m gonna be honest with you. I just got home, haven’t written this post for midnight yet, and am straight exhausted. I’ll let the song speak for itself, and am now going to crash in bed. This is a reminder to put yourself first. Thanks for understanding! Enjoy the song.

This song totally channels that middle-/high-school love that it speaks of. Nails it. I can totally still remember and feel those caffeine moments. We all have those indelible ones that we can still rewind in our mind.
“I remember the first time that I met you, it was high school, in the theater, I said that I loved you and I meant it, but you had a boyfriend, I thought we were deeper, picked me up in the mornings, CDs playing, you always had the best taste, I just adored it, my best friend, but I wanted more than, I wanted more than you could give me”
Think of one of those you remember fondly today. Just look back for a second and appreciate it.
Know that I appreciate you.

I just said to myself, “man, I love songs with soul in them” when this song came on for my writing listen sesh. You know, the ones that sort of make you grimace as you bob your head to them in some sort of sympathetic moment. Maybe that’s just how I listen to music sometimes, but I’ve seen enough TikTok and IG song reaction videos to know it’s not just me!
Also, how much does a scalp tattoo have to hurt?!

I can’t quite put my finger on why I like this song so much, but I think it’s just the general attitude of it all!
Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was, oh, and we’re never gonna go back to the way we was, Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us, cause, oh, it’s never gonna go back to the way it was”
We can’t get tomorrow back. We can’t get an hour a go back. We can’t get the last minute or second back.
So whatcha planning?

Great cover that is both faithful to the original and does it’s own thing. I love finding cool throwbacks to older songs that build on the original.
I think this is good energy for a Monday. Go kick some tail today.
BGDG.
Sober for the weekend
Alone in my own bed
And my hands have stopped shaking
No words that I regret
Nothing keeps me from sleeping
I can hear myself again
I can hear myself again
I’ll never find myself at the bottom of a bottle
I never find myself at the bottom of a bottle
Kotomi flat out rocks. Only about 35k monthly listens on Spotify. Hell, this SONG has only been listened to 20,000 times. It’s criminal.
