#172 of 366: Promises, Many Rooms

“is this the part where you speak your mind, your mouth is blurring the lines, and have you done what you can to destroy all my plans, or have you just started, and oh, how beautiful a lie, when it makes you feel like you can fly, and your wings are made of paper dreams, and paper futures”

Such a great voice on Brianna Hunt. Love the guitar on this track too!

Hope you can find some heat relief today! Be good, do good!

#171 of 366: Yellow Roses, Ilsey

“You brought me yellow roses, I wanted red, I want your warmth and closeness, I’m not your friend, oh, and some other love, she is the fortunate one, you’ll give her all that I want, and I’ll get nothing, nothing, but dreams in the night, flowers that wither and die, chasing impossible skies, into nothing, nothing”

What a beautifully melancholy lament. Right. In. The. Feels.

I was thinking of how short my recent posts are and I just reminded myself “that’s where you’re at right now”. I like to do some interpretation and narrative maybe about the songs I discovered, but with the school year winding down and things go go go, sometimes little snippets are ok! We’ll be “back to our regularly scheduled programming” in terms of some writing soon.

Hydrate!

#170 of 366: You and I, Caribou

“You can take your place up in the sky, I will find a way to carry on down here, just as long as you are here, we can only make it if you try, there’s a reason why it’s calm down here, come and whisper in my ear”

It’s been a while since I’ve said a song was a vibe, so I’ll return to form here for this one!

Just a really cool mix all the way through. Hope you enjoy!

#168 of 366: stonington, Alice Kristiansen

“Getting stoned again, dreaming about Stonington, little town by the sea, when the days get on, and I can’t seem to carry long, I hear its salty song call out to me, there is music in the boatyard by the dock, and there are rose hips, if you wait long enough, walls of pine lining every block, a horizon co-signed by God“

I first found Alice on YouTube, gosh, a lot of years ago it feels like. Gorgeous voice and some really good songwriting. Hopefully setting a chill vibe for your weekend.

Be good, do good.

#166 of 366: Contact, As Cities Burn

This song feels like a throwback in the best of ways. It’s giving Jimmy Eat World, it’s giving Copeland and Sherwood…good stuff.

‘Cause God ain’t up in the sky, holding together our bones, remember we used to speak, now I’m starting to think, your voice was really my own, bouncing off the ceiling back to me, God this can’t be, God, this can’t be, God, could it be that all we see is it, is this it? is this it?

Hope you have a kick-butt Thursday today. Don’t be afraid to throw a little pep in that step.

#165 of 366: Hugging You – Acoustic, Tom Rosenthal, Billie Marten

It’s been a bit since we’ve had a pretty singer/songwriter song on the blog, (I think, anyway…life is a blur).

This song definitely makes me want to take a deep dive into the catalog of each artist.

“I don’t know if you know, but I wanna tell you so, you’re the wisest funny one, that I’ll ever, ever know, I don’t know about you, but I love us as a two, find me a wild road, and I’ll name it after you”

Insanely pretty sentiments. Love love love it.

Be good, do good.

PS. Here’s the original, just for fun!
