100 HorsesGeese ‘for all people must die scared/or else just die nervous’ cameron winter you’ve DONE IT AGAIN! i have been listening to geese and alarming amount recently, but this line has always stuck out to me in this song. the je ne sais quoi to living a singular life is the fear of its actuality. the fear of 100 horses dancing. the fear of if they were to stop. maybe 124.
Champagne SupernovaOasis this song deserved to be added to that little gold disc that got sent into space. when the world implodes and we all blow each other up, i hope that there is a god that decides to play this song over whatever montage is created. the instrumentals on this track are chewy and there’s something new to hear every time. oasis you’ve done it again!
The SubwayChappell Roan you and i sat in your basement learning this song before it was even released. you learnt the chords and would look at me while i sang. i can’t hear this song without hearing you mess up the change between the c major and minor. now, i sing the song in my car and cry my way through the verses, chorus and bridge. what a beautiful homage to a lived lesbian experience. chappell roan is a pop princess that will live forever in the spaces that need her; songs like this are living proof of her permanence. i read a comment under the kansas city performance of this song - “crazy how every person singing this song is thinking of a different person.” but for me it will always be you.
What'd I Do With All This Faith?Bleachers this song is what coming of age has felt like me so far. loud and melancholic one day, gentle and caressing the next. suddenly, you are the oldest and youngest you will ever be. in sixty years you will remember these ages with fondness. you will love, lose and learn between now and then. most of all, you will learn where to put your faith. maybe in a back pocket. maybe in a small box inside your sock drawer. maybe even on the floor in front of you.

My CityBetter Oblivion Community Center i miss you, where are you now? my girlfriend lives very far away from me. she has for a long time now. she put this song on a CD she burnt for me. risk it all on the game of chance. chasing love like an ambulance. only phoebe and conner could write lines so simple, so comprehensible. yet so moving. i will see her in a years’ time, she will hold me and i will let go of my luggage. we will smoke a joint and stare out of the same window. life will be good. i think of my city, i think of her city; i think of the city that will soon be ours.
Wild TimeWeyes Blood when i was eighteen i saw weyes blood live. jess passed out into the crowd because we sat waiting for so long to see her — partially because the openers were also terrible. weyes blood’s voice transcends the 21st-century. hauntingly sophisticated and, as the name suggests, wise.
Drinking Age - Live at Carnegie HallCameron Winter cameron winter is the type of anomaly that appears once in an eon. a brisk winter afternoon. a muggy school bus and dewy leather seats. you are the least alive you have ever felt; you will sit and remember just how alive you felt seven years later and wonder what passed you by. piano lessons and eraser shavings, brushed into your hands and never onto your teacher’s carpet - you only had to be scolded once. only ever once. the rest of life has felt like making up for those mistakes.
BirdcageNovo Amor when i am thirty, i hope that life starts to sound more like this. stripped, dreamy and easy. novo armor has an irreplicable sound that is almost a little holy.
