Alright, I used to be really good about posting a song a day over here (usually as a consequence of a Writing Mood™) and share a lot of story playlists and I feel like doing that again soooooo let’s see what weird “playlist” we can create here based on my musical whims.

Starting off with @PalayeRoyale - All My Friends: “Well I tried to sell my soul today/I tried to put the past away...” https://youtu.be/t4JavIptYdk ">https://youtu.be/t4JavIptY...

@thelumineers - Angela: “Strangers in this town/they raise you up just to cut you down/oh, Angela, it’s a long time coming/oh, Angela, spent your whole life running away.” https://youtu.be/mQjXaR1SWyk ">https://youtu.be/mQjXaR1SW...

@Kodaline - The Answer: “I’m not searching for the answer/I’m not looking for the truth/I’m just talking through a speaker/because that’s all that I have ever learned to do.” https://youtu.be/0XhSMKL8jqI ">https://youtu.be/0XhSMKL8j...

heyhihello - Nothing At All: “The both of us are heartbeat and bone/grinding our teeth in our heads/so how can I justify as if I were not alone/that I am somewhat human instead?”

(This is a very niche throwback that I expect absolutely no one to know.) https://youtu.be/htSp-GDc-24 ">https://youtu.be/htSp-GDc-...

@springsteen - Ghosts: "I& #39;m alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones/I& #39;m alive and I& #39;m out here on my own/I& #39;m alive and I& #39;m coming home." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo5QNcFioZ4&ab_channel=BruceSpringsteen">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

@benrector - Note to Self: "I still let myself worry way too much and it ends up fine enough/it always has and does still now...maybe one day I& #39;ll figure out you don& #39;t find peace until you love somebody else." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGN7dua6Aic">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Don McLean - Vincent: "Now I think I know what you tried to say to me/and how you suffered for your sanity/and how you tried to set them free/they would not listen/they& #39;re not listening still/perhaps they never will." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wrNFDxCRzU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

@bearsdenmusic - Elysium: “Just hold out against the night/guard your hope with your life/for the darkness/she will come/oh and you’ll have nowhere left to run.” https://youtu.be/0qq0vsj8010 ">https://youtu.be/0qq0vsj80...

heyhihello - Goodnight Moon: “They& #39;ll say, ‘did you see when Rocket Number Nine took to the open skies late last night?’/they& #39;ll say, ‘it flew beyond the atmosphere and took pictures of the brilliant northern lights.’” https://youtu.be/Cl7kq4G9FuM ">https://youtu.be/Cl7kq4G9F...

@JonMcLaughlin/ @benrector - Indiana/30,000 Feet: "I& #39;d probably lose myself in all the pictures/and end up being someone I don& #39;t know." "I& #39;ve walked into harder times/I& #39;ve walked out the other side/it seems like you end up getting what you need." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SAlyq6yZ5o">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

@jordysearcymusi - Love and War in Your Twenties: "I don& #39;t wanna take the world for granted while I& #39;m still trying to understand it/the more I live I am convinced everyone just wants to be in love." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcyBCUw4Thw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

"When I think about you, I think about seventeen/I think about my old Jeep/I think about the stars in the sky/funny how a melody sounds like a memory/like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night... Springsteen." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heDV3QIu8-c&ab_channel=AustinCityLimitsTV">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

“Don’t call me kid/don’t call me baby/look at this idiotic fool that you made me/you taught me a secret language I can’t speak with anyone else/and you know damn well for you I would ruin myself...” https://youtu.be/MLV2SJKWk4M ">https://youtu.be/MLV2SJKWk...

“Do you remember when twenty-one years was old?” https://youtu.be/PwqSBQgFO3g ">https://youtu.be/PwqSBQgFO...
