#186 of 366: You’re Somebody Else, flora cash

Some beautiful guitar in the beginning of this one! These two are so so good at the melancholy sound.

“You were the better part, of every bit of beating heart that I had, whatever I had, I finally sat alone, pitch black flesh and bone, couldn’t believe that you were gone, well, you look like yourself, but you’re somebody else, only it ain’t on the surface, well you talk like yourself, no, I hear someone else though, now you’re making me nervous”

Hope you’re having a good one, whenever this post/song finds you!

Be good, do good.

#184 of 366: Dermot (see yourself in my eyes), Fred again.., Demot Kennedy

I feel like a lot of us would feel a lot better about ourselves if we knew more about how people felt about us. Don’t hold back today. Tell someone how much you care for/need/appreciate/love them. Don’t waste the opportunity.

“And if only you could see yourself in my eyes, you’d see you shine, you shine”

Be good, do good.

#183 of 366: Family, Noah Gundersen

Noah has one of the most heart-breakingly honest voices and this song puts it front and center as he drags through some of those lyrics like a dull blade that somehow cuts oh so sweetly.

We heard from him earlier in post #143. https://everything-etc.com/2024/05/21/143-of-366-ledges-noah-gundersen/

“Say something awful, as if fucking the world is your right, and I watch you stumble, drunk out into the night, to cat call ladies, you’re thirsty for blood, you’re pickin’ a fight, and I wanted to ask you man whatta you do, in the daylight, so bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer till I’m happy to be here, happy to be here, with all of my family hookers in heels and the men who watch them like hungry black eels”

Be good, do good, my friend!

#182 of 366: Here’s To Endings, Handsome Ghost

My Ava-Bean graduated High School tonight and it’s pretty mind-blowing to come to grips with that. But like this song is titled, “Here’s To Endings”!

What a journey, for her, her classmates and even myself when I think about it in that context. Look at how much things have changed. They’re going to change whether we pay attention to the NOW as it’s happening or not.

Let’s set the intention to be in more moments, starting now, so we don’t have to look back and lament at how fast time passed.

Be good, do good.

#180 of 366: Walls, AVEC

Great song here by AVEC! I love how deep her voice is and that little bit of leather it has! This one has a great little tempo to it.

“And though, I still feel you, I hate that I still feel, I know we’ll never find our way to each other, ’cause we’re just too scared of what we don’t know, and I try to take the weight of this love off my shoulders, ’cause I know I’m better off dancing on my own”

Today’s my first day of summer vacation! Looking forward to using this summer to better myself.

Be good, do good.

#178 of 366: Me & Me, The Beaches

This band is probably my favorite find of 2023 the more I listen to them. I just love the energy that they are bringing!

“I know a girl who spent a year and a half crying, in the bottom of a bathtub, it was really such a bad look, then on New Year’s Eve, someone yelled “ten, nine, eight”, everybody kissed, then she punched them in the face, woo”

Enjoy!

#177 of 366: Dixon’s Girl, Dessa

Wow! I discovered this one and added it to the playlist almost a year ago to the day! This Dessa jam spent time in the Top 10 for a while. Just in love with the bass.

“There was a snowstorm in Jackson when you and I met, at a club called St. Sebsastian’s, but the sign said something different, I remember thinkin’ that I didn’t have a shot at Mississippi, television told us which roads they were closing, there goes a rap show, everybody knew you as the wife of a famous man, everybody who knew said “there’s goes Dixon’s girl again”, even the walls will lean closer, when she plays the piano real soft”

Have a fantastic day!

Be good, do good.
