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...”
@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.”
@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.”
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.)
(This is a very niche throwback that I expect absolutely no one to know.)
@springsteen - Ghosts: "I'm alive, I can feel the blood shiver in my bones/I'm alive and I'm out here on my own/I'm alive and I'm coming home."
@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'll figure out you don't find peace until you love somebody else."
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're not listening still/perhaps they never will."
@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.”
heyhihello - Goodnight Moon: “They'll say, ‘did you see when Rocket Number Nine took to the open skies late last night?’/they'll say, ‘it flew beyond the atmosphere and took pictures of the brilliant northern lights.’”
@JonMcLaughlin/ @benrector - Indiana/30,000 Feet: "I'd probably lose myself in all the pictures/and end up being someone I don't know." "I've walked into harder times/I've walked out the other side/it seems like you end up getting what you need."
@jordysearcymusi - Love and War in Your Twenties: "I don't wanna take the world for granted while I'm still trying to understand it/the more I live I am convinced everyone just wants to be in love."
"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."
“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...”
“Do you remember when twenty-one years was old?”
"We busted out of class/had to get away from those fools/we learned more from a three-minute record, baby/than we ever learned in school."
Old Friends - @benrector
“And I've got some good friends now/but I've never seen their parents' back porch/I wouldn't change how things turned out/but there's no one in this time zone who knows what inline skates that I wore.”
“And I've got some good friends now/but I've never seen their parents' back porch/I wouldn't change how things turned out/but there's no one in this time zone who knows what inline skates that I wore.”
@TheStruts - Strange Days: "So let's talk about it/I know you sometimes hate the way that you feel...these are strange days in many strange ways/a message to outer space/send help cause we lost our way/oh these are strange times/lost in our minds..."
@Kodaline - Sometimes: "It really doesn't matter if I stay or go/it's hitting me hard but I'm lucky, I know/all of my friends don't understand/maybe I'm crazy/maybe I'm blind/maybe we all get lost sometimes."
@andyblack - We Don’t Have To Dance: “You’re never gonna get it/I’m a hazard to myself/I’ll break it to you easy/this is hell, this is hell/you’re looking and whispering/you think I'm someone else/this is hell, yes/literal hell.”
@U2 - Raised By Wolves: "Blood in the house/blood on the street/the worst things in the world are justified by belief."
@SaraBareilles - Orpheus: "It has no name/no guarantee/it's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see/but that's enough/if the bottom drops out/I hope my love was someone else's solid ground."
@thekillers - Have All The Songs Been Written?: "Have all the songs been written? Have all your needs been met? Have all these years been worth it? Or am I the great regret?"
@thelumineers - Stubborn Love: “It’s better to feel pain than nothing at all/the opposite of love’s indifference/so pay attention now/I'm standing on your porch screamin' out/and I won't leave until you come downstairs.”
@taylorswift13 - dorothea: "It's never too late to come back to my side/the stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo/and if you're ever tired of being known for who you know/you know, you'll always know me."
@mcflymusic - Tonight Is The Night: "So I stayed in the shadow of who I used to be/now I look like the person that's been walking over me...tonight is the night I admit to myself that I'm asking for help."
. @sleepingatlast - Saturn: “You taught me the courage of stars before you left/how light carries on endlessly, even after death/with shortness of breath you explained the infinite/and how rare and beautiful it is to even exist.”
. @PaulSimonMusic - Crazy Love, Vol. II: “Somebody could walk into this room and say ‘Your life is on fire/it's all over the evening news/all about the fire in your life on the evening news.’”
. @U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For: "I believe in the Kingdom Come/then all the colours will bleed into one/but yes, I'm still running/you broke the bonds and you loosed the chains/carried the cross of my shame/you know I believe it."
. @Kodaline - Midnight: "For so long I've had trouble sleeping/I can't help but feel a little insecure/so unsure/was my love not enough? Did I ask too much? As my heart turns to rust over you."
. @U2 - The Little Things That Give You Away: "Sometimes I'm full of anger and grieving/so far away from believing that any sun will reappear/sometimes the end is not coming/it’s not coming/the end is here/sometimes."
. @benrector - Beautiful: "How do we end up like this? Living lives that we don't care about? Too busy fixing things on computer screens while the grass grows green/Me, I'm screaming out."
. @taylorswift13 - The Way I Loved You: "He can't see the smile I'm faking and my heart's not breaking/cause I'm not feeling anything at all/and you were wild and crazy/just so frustrating, intoxicating/complicated, got away by some mistake and now..."
. @springsteen - Backstreets: “At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying/blame it on the lies that killed us/blame it on the truth that ran us down/you can blame it all on me Terry/it don't matter to me now.”
. @springsteen - The Rising: “Sky of love, sky of tears/sky of glory and sadness/sky of mercy, sky of fear/sky of memory and shadow/your burning wind fills my arms tonight/sky of longing and emptiness/sky of fullness, sky of blessed life.”
. @Kodaline - Big Bad World: "Maybe believe/or maybe don’t care/shit, maybe there is no god in the big white clouds up there/maybe live long/or maybe die young/or maybe live every day like it’s your last day under the sun."
. @DavidGray - Nightblindness: “I'm sick of all the same old answers/last chances, cold stones/propping mountains up on matchsticks/dragging baskets full of bones/and honey please don't stop your talking/cause there's a feeling, won't leave me alone.”
