I bestow upon you a six-minute and thirty-two second scorcher of a song in this new year!

Florence effortlessly weaves in and out of beautiful and silky smooth melody and some of the most powerful belting that’s out there. This song is an absolute anthem for strong women.

Highlights for me:

-that whole opening guitar riff is spectacular, headphones!

-bedraggled!

-THIS:

“But I’ve really done it this time, this one is all mine, I’ll be up there with the men and the 10 other women in the 100 greatest records of all time, it must be nice to be a man and make boring music, just because you can, now don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan, you’re my second favourite front man, and you could have me if you weren’t so afraid of me, it’s funny how men don’t find power very sexy, so this one’s for the ladies, do I drive you crazy?”

Goosebumps. Such a proclamation. So powerful. The speed at which she goes through the bolded part hits me every time! The creaky transition between drive and you?! Our red-headed Valkyrie drops a song that’s not just good…

…it’s ONE OF THE GREATS.

Haha, be good, do good. Luv y’all!

PS, if you want to see her channel Bob Dylan in the video:

With melancholic feels, Cudi’s sampling of Funeral-Band of Horses reminds us being present brings peace and gratitude for everything around you.

“and if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take, but please don’t cry, just know that I have made these songs for you”

Appreciate you all. Mean it.

Be good, do good.

Great beat on this one.

Ross is good, but JAY-Z’s verse takes the cake.

Let it instill some swag in you today!

Be good, do good.

Copeland has been doing it since 2001, and they definitely have an ever-evolving yet tied together by the distinctive vocals of Aaron Marsh.

Hope you enjoy them here!

Be good, do good!

Love that playful guitar strum throughout this one.

Cudi delivers here with a message of optimism and rising above the BS.

Sometimes we’re prone to putting to much of our own self-value into the opinions of others…letting them dull our shine.

Keep glowing. Take that Common monologue at the end to heart.

Be good, do good.

A lot of good energy in this one, as it’s certainly a pump yourself up song!

Need those every now and then right?! Lean in.

“Sippin’ on the side is where you’ll find me, you can take a trip, you know where I’ll be (I’ll be), yeah, just hop on a cloud. it ain’t too far”

Be good, do good.

Came down with the VID after outrunning it for 4 years.

Just gonna focus on getting better than I’ll make up what missed!

Love you. Be good, do good.

WordPress is being really weird about this post. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve edited it. Deleted the entire thing. Started fresh. For some reason it will not save content correctly. We’ll see what happens tonight!

Man that guitar is so pretty in the beginning isn’t it? So smooth. So mellow. Chill.

I just re-watched Garden State for the first time since it came out. I’d be shocked if this band isn’t on the soundtrack. Anyone remember that Zack Braff, Natalie Portman screaming into the quarry movie?

Anyway, the soundtrack is excellent, and has so many songs I would describe as “comfy”.

To that end, let’s try to carve out some space for ourselves today!

Be good, do good.

Pretty sure I stumbled upon these guys somehow on Spotify, and this song stood out to me because of it being a Hip-Hop but also sounding…I dunno, a little folksy? Gotta be the guitar, which is dope!

Enjoy!

Be good, do good.
