"And I think I like how the day sounds through this new song."
-Greg Laswell
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
New Day by The Kin
It’s time to feel the glow
My heard bleeds to grow up now
It’s out of control for fear of being held down
It’s the truth I gonna know
It’s the wake-up call to love
The burning and beating of
A heart that hears the sound
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
So forgive me oh my friend
I’ve lost my own defense
Now my heart leads me
Every day I make amends
I can see beyond the clouds
The sunshine washes over me
It’s washing away the doubt
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
War is over…
…Today we can
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
Call it a new day
The night has come and gone
Tomorrow’s just a dream my friend
So today we can let it go
Bah!! Too amazing. I recently felt inspired to make a playlist for my favorite blogger ever/role model/life guru Prescott, and ended up receiving this stellar shout-out in addition to an influx of some beautiful new followers. Thank you thank you!
[PLACE WELCOME MAT HERE]
HI, Y’ALL. <3 Make yourselves comfortable. :)
A little about tonight’s song…
It has the wubwubwubs.
It has the gospel flair.
It has the references to caffeine.
Basically, THIS SONG’S GOT EVERYTHANG.
No Sugar In My Coffee by Caught A Ghost,a new music project by Jesse Nolan. See his creatively formatted bio here.
High School Lover by Cayucas
Sounds like Spoon, Beck, The Shins, and other crazycrazytalented, badass musicians of that sort.
good god. what a song.
Change by Churchill
…it will give you the Chur-CHILLs. you’ve been warned.
Some a cappella group needs to get on this song pronto!!!!!
But actually.
Driven by Their Beating Hearts by A Silent Film
What would happen if Ellie Goulding and Gabrielle Aplin were to high-five, and that high-five created a spark which then led to an explosion which then led to the magical generation of an Ellie/Gabrielle songstress hybrid?
Listen to Boy by Nina Nesbitt and see hear what I mean.
Michigan by The Milk Carton Kids
The clouds move over Pontiac skies
Their silent thunder matches mine
I know this feeling from long ago
I wonder if it’s gone now I know
So when she calls don’t send her my way
When it hurts you’ll know it’s the right thing
Michigan’s in the rearview now
Keep your hands where I can see them
You took the words right out of my mouth
When you knew that I would need them
What am I supposed to do now
Without you
Without you
It’s unannounced like you’d expected
[Her mom broke down brake line in poor town records]
And all that’s left is a blind reflection
But you know what’s coming and you regret it
So when she comes don’t send her my way
When it hurts most it’s the right thing
Michigan’s in the rearview now
Keep your hands where I can see them
You took the words right out of my mouth
When you knew that I would need them
What am I supposed to do now
Without you
Without you
Michigan’s in the rearview now
Keep your hands where I can see them
You took the words right out of my mouth
When you knew that I would need them
What am I supposed to do now
Without you
Without you

I’ll leave details & self-reflections out of this post. This beautiful song is for you to explore. Check out the music video here.
Fire Escape by Imaginary Friend featuring Kina Grannis
I was fortunate enough to see Imaginary Friend (opening for Kina) live last year and was so emotionally riveted by the experience that I ended up coming home and sitting down and just thinking in silence for a couple of hours afterwards.
Wait. I haven’t posted in a month. THIS IS PITIFUL.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I will make it up to you all tomorrow. This I swear.
Thank you for still loving me.
Yours Truly,
Jill
Shazam recommended this song to me after a recent tag, and although I was a bit skeptical prior to listening, this suggestion is totally up my alley, and perhaps yours as well!?
Dance Bear by Snakadaktal
Needle by Born Ruffians
I was hoping to attach the bodacious lyrics to this post, but some lyrics sites were so off from the actual lyrics (to a hilarious degree) that I would rather wait for the band to post ‘em & trust in those. :) Stay tuned.
Semi-all-nighters call for especially good soundtracks.
Gasoline by Alpine
Reeeeeeeallyreallyreally into this song right now.
Enjoy, my fellow night owls.
P.S. The vocals remind me a bit of those of the female vocalist in Len’s Steal My Sunshine. Love.
Aubergine by Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
Well I bled blue blood from my back last night
I was alone
Aubergine sheets on my bed now
Oh no
And your blue eyes lie
Just like an atlas
In those sockets
Yeah your blue eyes cry
Mapwater
When you’re sorry
Oh so sorry
Oh no
You with the nape that holds my gaze
You with the tongue that speaks my name
You with the arms that keep me at length
You with the heart that won’t show its face
And jesus sucks the mud out of your soul
But the flame in your eye, it is blue and cold
And you risked your wrist to save my life
And I should have kissed you that night
But it ain’t right
Oh no
It ain’t right
And absence makes my heart grow hollow
Absence makes my heart grow hollow
Make me into an egg without yolk,
Make me into an egg without yolk
Absence makes my heart grow hollow
Absence makes my heart grow hollow
Make me into an egg without yolk
You make me into an egg without yolk
I was unborn when I was younger
I was unborn when I was younger
But I was rebuilt when you spoke
I awoke when you spoke
You said, “there’s always a reason for leaving,
there’s always a reason to stay
I know exactly why I’m leaving: I just can’t stay.”
And I say, “I’ll give you my whole summer
when you unfurl your fingers.
I would be lying if I said you had nothing
to do with me;
you’re to blame for my being this way.”
You with the nape that holds my gaze
You with the tongue that speaks my name
You with the arms that keep me at length
You with the heart that won’t show its face
Absorb the message as you will. It can really be interpreted in a variety of ways. It’s a powerful mantra.
You’re not alone. You’re not alone. You’re not alone.
