Failure - Stuck On You
4:29 for April 29th
This is a perfect song - filled with great allegory.
I thought I’d drop you easily
But that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tick
So you invade my sleep and confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch
Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back in Town

Won’t be long ‘til summer comes.
Ben Folds Five - Selfless, Cold and Composed
I just deleted a bunch of bullet points about how I’m still feeling undeniably sad after only five days. Fuck that. There’s no need to spell it out in fine detail. I’m not well and I’m trying to manage my emotions as best I can.
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye
But it’s not quite right
The end of any relationship brings waves of memories from all over the emotional spectrum. I’m going to try my hardest to let the negative ones leave as quickly as they arrive and let the positive ones linger long enough to sustain my self-confidence.
I did all the right things. I stepped far outside my comfort zone. I took a chance and dove in head first. The water was the perfect temperature but I had no way of knowing what rested beneath the surface nor the number of lions that drank from its shore.
Hum - Stars (steelopus acoustic cover)
I made this a few years ago. People seem to like it. Today seems like as good a day as any to repost it.
weezer - Say it ain’t so
4:19 for April 19th
Undone and Buddy Holly were weezer’s first two hits, but this was their first single to announce to the world that Rivers was much more than just a quirky geek who was good with metaphors.
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
A friend recently told me to stop listening to so much sad music.
He’s not the boss of me.
