Do it

in the end we're all just taller children

Certain songs I come back to again & again.

I always thought these words said, "The world is falling down so you might as well crash with me," which is what made me think of this song today. I guess that's not the lyric after all, but that's how this music will always fit for me,

When even the mainstream feels woke.

A few friends shared this song with me a few months back — Every so often it comes to mind again.

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand

Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Forgot all about this song, but it popped into my head and somehow it works for me today.

One of my first rock albums as a kid: Abacab! I remember being so pleased when I realized during a piano lesson that a-b-a-c-a-b referred to notes on the musical scale. (Now you wanna go back and listen to the whole album, don't you?!)

my-my-my-my-my

it's raining!!!

so bummed I forgot to get tickets tonight! :(

feeling late 90's vibes

songs that still make me smile on a Friiiiiiidaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy


(memories of late 90's Florida: bucket hats, ringer tees, friggin' malls everywhere! It was so crowded even then, can't imagine now: heard we wouldn't even recognize our old town anymore)

weird music that you find yourself grooving to at 3am when you're working an all-nighter by yourself

for my sister, because she loves this song and it's Groundhog's Day


you can't not move to this

(Saw these guys perform this at The Purple Pig Music Festival in 2014 --> incredible band)

This should be the background music for the weather report these days.

Beck + headphones + dancing feet = smiling dizzy
