“Little Brother” by The Tallest Man on Earth
Good god, this song is beautiful.
“1904” by The Tallest Man on Earth

“I Want To Hear You Sad” by The Early November
It’s crazy that how, after 8 years (jesus christ, middle school was 8 years ago? I feel old), you can still remember every word, every note, every pause, every inflection of a song.
Every day goes, every night goes
On and on we sing this song
The entire day that’s oh so long
Every night we sing this song for you
“What Sarah Said” by Death Cab for Cutie
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
“Six Weeks” by Of Monsters and Men
“I’ll Be Your Mirror” by The Velvet Underground
I find it hard to believe you don’t know
The beauty you are
But if you don’t let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won’t be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
‘Cause I see you
“Santa Clara” by The National
I will settle in and dream of a slow and funny scene
I will settle in and watch ‘em rolling by
I will settle in and dream
‘Cause it’s alright, alright to see a ghost
And I wanna see ‘em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see ‘em rolling, rolling by
“If I Had A Gun…” by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
Let me fly you to the moon
My eyes have always followed you around the room
‘Cause you’re the only god that I will ever need
I’m holding on and waiting for the moment to find me
“Murder in the City” by The Avett Brothers
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
“Asleep” by The Smiths
There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be…
“Imitosis” by Andrew Bird
And despite what all his studies had shown
That what’s mistaken for closeness is just a case of mitosis
And why do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
Tell me doctor, can you quantify?
He just wants to know the reason why
The reason why
“The Bad In Each Other” by Feist
This new Feist album makes me like music again.
When a good man, and that good woman
Can’t find the good in each other
And a good man and a good woman
Bring out the worst in the other, the bad in each other
“If I Wanted Someone” by Dawes
I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
we need words to be put to what we do not understand
while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
oh woman, help me see it like it is
…I want you to make the days move easy
Somebody that I Used to Know - Gotye
Have you ever had that song where you hear it and think “wow I wish I could dedicate this song to someone/ some people I know” because of how accurate it is to your own reality and past? Yeah well, this song would be that for me. I’m almost positive anyone could take this track and think of a moment in their life where they could easily relate to almost every single word that’s sung. It helps that it’s catchy as hell at the same time too. It’s the perfect combination of a realistic theme and fabulous tunes all intertwined. Gotye recently released his album Making Mirrors and it’s definitely a solid CD with many quality tracks. So if you haven’t heard this great Australian based artist, get to it!

Wow, this song is wonderful. I was hooked…and then there were female vocals and I fell more in love.
