Update, March 2023: Wow y’all. I did not expect to become one of the internet’s leading experts on this song! What a huge responsibility. This post was published over three years ago and continues to be one of my top-performing posts. I figured it might be time to revisit what I wrote here and update my … Continue reading Day 21: I Know How to Speak – Manchester Orchestra (Updated March 2023)
Life poses some interesting questions. It’s easy to go about your life ignoring them and simply living, but sometimes they jump out and grab you and don’t let go. For me, that happens late at night when I can’t sleep. Thoughts start racing around in my head – what is life? Is it a dream? … Continue reading Day 20: All is As All Should Be – The Dear Hunter
Full disclaimer: I missed a day yesterday. Life just got too busy and writing a post just got away from me. So to the like, seven people who read this consistently, so sorry. Let’s pick up where we left of, shall we? Let’s pick up on depression. Depression is weird. Depression is alienating. It’s been … Continue reading Day 19: Satellite Call – Sara Bareilles
I promise Fall Out Boy is not a sponsor of this series. But hey, they’ve come out with some good stuff recently, and a lot of it has been pumping through my earbuds in the last year or so. So I really don’t feel too bad about it. To me, they are able to encapsulate … Continue reading Day 18: The Last of the Real Ones – Fall Out Boy
We talked about the North Star on here not long ago. In poetry and art, it often represents what we are guided or pulled by. I mean, it makes sense. Sailors have used it for ages as a natural compass. Your “North Star” might be different, depending on who you are. We’re all driven by different things. … Continue reading Day 17: Polaris – Jimmy Eat World
Some people have amazing stories. The people who rise above the worst of circumstances are the ones we remember. Take, for example, Corrie Ten Boom. She was a Dutch woman who, with the aid of her family, helped many Jews escape the Nazis during the Holocaust. Obviously, that wasn’t an easy task, especially since she … Continue reading Day 16: The Brightest Stars – Rogue Valley
Humanity needs a purpose. It’s what philosophers have been debating for centuries – why are we here? What is the role of Man? Is it to worship, to create, to destroy? Is it all of those things? Maybe we’re just a happy accident, so the best we can do is enjoy ourselves until the world … Continue reading Day 15: No Plan – Hozier
Performing is fun, but it’s not for everyone. Some would rather watch a theatre production than be involved, and that’s totally fine. But if you’ve ever performed before, you know it’s pretty addicting. The first time I was “onstage” was in third grade. I had written a rap about Moses (I went to a Christian … Continue reading Day 14: Roaring 20s – Panic! At the Disco
Comebacks can be pretty awesome. Sometimes they’re nostalgic, like seeing an old band come back together. Sometimes they’re just flat-out awe-inspiring, like someone recovering from a near-fatal accident. While these kind of comebacks are cool, so are the “everyday” comebacks, even as small as being sick for a few days and missing work or school. … Continue reading Day 13: Champion – Fall Out Boy
Growing up is hard. When I left for college (even though it was a short drive from my home) I felt displaced. Not just geographically displaced, but emotionally, intellectually. I was eighteen and starting my new future. A GPS would’ve been handy. But unfortunately, we don’t get that in life. But it does help to … Continue reading Day 12: Finding North, The Civil Wars
