track notes:
vanderlyle crybaby geeks - the national
All the very best of us string ourselves up for love
mowgli’s road - marina
Oh Lord, I have been told
That I must take the unforsaken road (forsaken road)
featherweight - fleet foxes
In all that war, I’d forgotten how many men might die for what I’d renounced
I was staging life as a battleground
No, I let that grasping fall
gopher guts - aesop rock
Today I pulled three ghost crabs out of rock and sand
Where the low tide showcased a promised land
I told them, “You will grow to be something dynamic and impressive; you are patient, you are gallant, you are festive.”
Then I let them go.
Oh.
thunder & lightning - brown bird
Cut down by the cruel and the crass fold
Catch hell from the mighty and high
Ain’t nowhere left for the good to go
No truth in a world full of lies
hail to whatever you found in the sunlight that surrounds you - rilo kiley
Hail to whatever you found in the sunlight that surrounds you
Pretend all the good things are for you
bright mouths - electric president
We are the thoughts that you were warned about
We are the shadows in your basement
When you say doomsday we say everything’s alright
But it’s all the same
jumping coffin - aesop rock
Some try to combat any kind of odd force tryna make contact, nah
Let it in, let it in
Let it in, let it in
rumors - josh ritter
Hey, what the hell if it helps me
I put a whip to the kick drum but the music’s never loud enough
his hands - blegh
You’re too real for me
You should got to something better
I’ll give you to someone better
I have friends that’ll be on earth for longer
I have friends that won’t feel like monsters
rings - aesop rock
They will chop you down just to count your rings
Just to count your rings
Just to count your rings
midday moon - astronautalis
This is how they came to me, one at a time
Pilgrims to my building on the cemetery grounds
All they wanted was an answer and I could never let ‘em down
I couldn’t promise them forever but I could buy a lot of time
we all die young - the decemberists
we all die young!
good grief - dessa
I’m willing to work for this
Just show me where to dig
And I’m ready to hurt for this
I know exactly what this:
good grief
older and taller - regina spektor
I remembered you older and taller
but you’re younger and smaller
so who’s gonna call her and say
that you’re back again?
enough to go by - vienna teng
I’m wanting your anger
I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep
And bring you out under this flooded sky
At any price
bone of song - josh ritter
I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest
my love follows you where you go - lori mckenna
Up the steepest hill, a dark and crooked road
My love follows you where you go
