The Tallest Man on Earth: Criminals
“Well there were days when you thought you’d just go under
And the weekends you never understood
When you flew from the bar only 17
You didn’t bleed, and no one ever thought you would”

John Mayer: In the Blood
“How much of my mother has my mother left in me?
How much of my love will be insane to some degree?
And what about this feeling that I’m never good enough?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?”
The Weepies: Gotta Have You
On my previous attempts at running, I took it on as a kind of adversarial task. I was trying to grind out the run, I was trying to endure the act of running.
My prior attempts/experiences with running were basically: run and keep running, for as long as you can. Try to ignore any pain or discomfort, and just push through it to keep running. My soundtrack reflected this.
Aaron Espe: Everything is Temporary
“Late night
One more glass of wonder
Make a good night
Maybe we could stay up till the daylight
Steady in the movement of the stars”
Five for Fighting: Superman (It’s Not Easy)
“Up, up, and away, away from me
Well, it’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy
Or anything”
I’m With Her: Crossing Muddy Waters
“Left me in my tears to drown
She left a baby daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and brown
She’s crossin’ muddy waters”
Lifehouse: Hanging By A Moment
At some point about a week ago, this song entered my head. For I’d say about a week now, this song has not left my head.
I have no clear explanation. It just showed up, without any rent, and decided to squat. Despite recognizing the song/tune, I actually had to look up the band’s name.
Norah Jones: Shoot the Moon
“The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon and miss completely
And now you’re left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly”
A.A. Bondy: World Without End
“If you return to love
The sky thick with sleepin’ doves
And the spider’s dirty web
Catch a ghost”
Múm: Smell Memory
This seems appropriate.
The Weepies: Living in Twilight
“So it goes, though no one knows you
like they used to do
Have a drink the sky is sinking
toward a deeper blue”
Aoife O’Donovan: The King of All Birds
“Anyone that I might want in this world
They’re asleep in the arms of another girl
Who will they be when the lights come up?
Everyone that I ever loved in my life
Now calls somebody else their wife
Who am I to you?”
Matthew Perryman Jones: Can’t Get It Right
“Counting up the lines on the highway
Like I’m counting my regrets
I’m wrestling the angels
And the devils in my head
I left you without warning, no note beside the bed
I pray you can forgive me, I hope you can forget”
Watchhouse: Rounder
“They’re gonna hang me boys from a tall, tall tree
Those demons, they’ll be the death of me
Some folks are guided by some light of the Lord
But me I was blinded and I’ll never afford my salvation”
Biko’s Manna: How Deep Is Your Love
I long for the Internet I knew back in the early 2000’s, and this video absolutely reminds me of that era. Talent, sincerity, and whismy, all combined into a shared slice of media that makes the world feel a little less distant.
