Back from an impromptu holiday break. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
Discovered Marqus last year with the song and just liked the flow and beat. He’s definitely confident…his top track on Spotify is “Kendrick, Clae, & Cole” and he certainly does some name-dropping describing the company he think he’s in. Time will tell! Looking forward to more!
Be good, do good.
He’s a little obscure but I like him:
Just like I am tonight. Long week, but finally made it to vacation!
Be good, do good. Sleep tight.
“I feel better as a baby on your back, holding onto atoms and a past, you would steal by socks and wear them just to sleep, so how could you wake up and get cold feet (keep me up to date), why’re you moving on, I’ll be right back, you’ve got some new love, who gave you that, why’re you moving on, and how’d you do it so fast?”
I think the idea of stealing someone’s socks to wear them to sleep is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard of. It gives middle-school learning how to flirt vibes.
I get nostalgic for that time sometimes. Things were simpler…
Be good, do good. Miss your face.
“The person you made yourself out to be, would feel sorry for what you have done to me, like scrapped sheet metal shaves ivories, you started out slow but you cut your teeth, you cut your teeth”
Kississippi is absolutely worth a deep dive. Zoe Reynolds can weave back and forth between sweet and bitter seamlessly. I’m here for it.
Forty more posts to go!
Be good, do good.
Quite the “people change” song here. Artist Georgia Flipo rocks from start to finish. Enjoy that pounding percussion!
“Now I’m the worst person alive, now I’m the one making you cry, now I’m the one losing my mind, now I’m the one burning inside, now I’m stuck thinking tonight, who the hell’s by your side, and why, after all this time, am I the worst person, I’m the worst person, I’m the worst person alive”
Be good, do good. Love ya.
I can’t hear enough of Angie McMahon.
Her songwriting and performance feel painfully authentic. If you can relate to any part of the song, it hits hard.
“I can’t let you sweep me off my feet just yet, when they’ve only just landed firmly on the ground, and I’m so tired of being messed around, you’ve watched me shift my shape and fall into this mess, well, maybe you could wait for me, I’ll do my best, to get out of this dreary place, I’ll have to face this loneliness”
Today’s take away is you’re not alone. Here if you need me.
Be good, do good.
I think this song could easily be mistaken for a Bon Iver track. Definitely feeling those vibes.
There isn’t a ton to the song lyrically, but musically I think once the horns start hitting it’s a different level.
I hope you enjoy it, and are finding things to enjoy during this slow descent into winter.
Be good, do good.
This song is a fantastic slow-building fire! The children chorus!?
“To fall downward and rust, you build this house with your hands, and your time and your blood, we built this up in one day, to fall downward and rust, I don’t move unless you know, someone you can move, I bruise just like anyone would bruise, and I know we’ve got a long way to go, and I know we’ve got a long way to go, I know I’ve got so far”
Dig into their discography, you won’t be sorry!
Be good, do good.
This. Song. Is. So. Pretty.
It really reminds me that I need to be outside more. I’ve described my hammock as “my happy place”, but I just realized I haven’t really used it much over the past two summers.
I wonder why that is? It deserves a think at some point. Too busy during summer vaca to lay in a hammock? Seems suspect. 🙂
“Child of flowers, child of trees, you are a child of these, child of fallen spinning leaves, you are a child of these, child of wild, roaming streams, you are a child of these, child of skies, child of seas, you are a child of these”
I just wrote child so much that it looks weird to me as I read it.
I need to forest bathe a little I think before it’s gets REAL cold. I’ve been thinking about it just haven’t been able to actually make myself do it. Maybe tomorrow!
Hope you’re as well as well can be.
Be good, do good.
“I know this might seem a little less alright, but here, I find a little place to hide, oh what a mess I’m in, oh what a mess I’m in“
This song gets amazingly “crashy” and atmospheric a little after 3 minutes, but equally great I think are the quieter admissions of mess.
Are you in a mess? I am. I’ve found the only person that can clean it is me. No one is gonna do it for me. Maybe that’ll help spur you to start plugging away at fixing your mess, whatever it is. But my advice is literally to just start. Start trying to clean things up for yourself. You’ll feel better. I think we’re in control more than we think, and there’s a lot of “I can’t” or “I don’t want to”.
Fight those feelings. Life’s too short not to make this the most beautiful place possible for ourselves and those around us.
Be good, do good.
everything, etc.
