Nada Surf - All Is A Game

3:26 for March 26th

Do you wake up and lie there and think it through?
Is the weight of your own life too much for you?
Well it all is a game, yeah, you forgot to play, you did.

Nada Surf - Always Love

3:19 for March 19th

To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me:
Always love; hate will get you every time
Always love; don’t wait til the finish line

Nada Surf - Lá Pour Ca

3:18 for March 18th

It’s in French, so I have no idea what he is singing, but if the translation is correct then I like it.

Let the boat sink. Part with your ways.
Let yourself go and don’t be afraid.

(Here’s a nice translation/interpretation by “jason527” in the comments over at SongMeanings.com)

Nada Surf - I like What You Say

3:09 for March 9th

They say, you learn from your mistakes
That’s not always the case

Nada Surf - All Is A Game

It all is a game, yeah, you forgot to play, you did.

Nada Surf - See These Bones

5:10 for May 10th

The opening track from Nada Surf’s impressive 2008 release, this song finds the band doing what they do best: beautiful melody and bright layers culminating in their trademark dual-vocalist counter-lyrics and harmonies.

If your feet aren’t tapping at the end of this song then you’re probably dead, or at least dead to me.

Nada Surf - Blizzard of ‘77 (steelopus cover)

Another beautifully simple song. This one left me with an appreciation for how amazing the mix is on the original; they managed to make two guitars and three voices sound like an orchestra… I managed to make two guitars and three voices sound like music therapy day at your local mental health institution.

(10 down. 30 to go.)

Nada Surf - Blizzard of ‘77

But in the middle of the night I worry
It’s blurry even without light.

I miss you more than I knew.

Nada Surf - Inside Of Love

I wanna know what it’s like on the inside of love.

Nada Surf - Fruit Fly

Oh no, you make your own mistakes;
I cannot bring them back to you.
Oh no, you make your own mistakes;
I cannot measure up to you.

I’m feeling this today.
