Day 118

Coffee and cigarettes, warmth and gloom, out with the old, in with the new...

10.11 Day 105

I'd be crazy not to follow...



Perhaps my favorite song of all time.

One year ago I fell in love. To the month, almost the day, I think I'm falling in love with him all over again. Last October we were making out in bar bathrooms and doing heroin before his shows. This time it's laying in the park, drinking wine, staying up all night talking and playing guitar and him not being able to stop kissing me before we go to sleep. I love the way I feel when I'm with him and that scares me. Love scares me. Love with him scares me, and this is why...

Deep breaths little one...

Goosebumps...
Thom Yorke's lyrics are dreamy and Radiohead has my heart.

1.23 Day 2

When times are heavy I tend to turn towards the "poppier" tunes to avoid the heartache I'm feeling. After all, who wants to listen to gooey slow songs when your heart feels like a piece of bubble gum that just got wedged up under someone's shoe?
I'm in a different place now, sailed a different ship, and the gooey songs aren't so somber anymore. As my heart thaws, these songs become sultry and inspiring. Consider it a collaboration of some of my favorite tunes that bring out the more "romantic" side in me...

Radiohead, In Rainbows. Song, "Reckoner"

Lydia, Illuminate. Song, "This is Twice Now"

The Album Leaf, Into the Blue Again. Song, "Always for you"

Blonde Redhead, Misery is a Butterfly. Song, "Elephant Woman"

Cat Power, You are Free. Song, "A Good Woman"

Bloc Party, Intimacy. Song, "Signs"

Now...who else is in the mood to make out?
