I’m Back! (With Some Podcasts I Love.)

Wow, it’s been a minute, guys. Sorry that it’s been like, over a month since I posted anything. A LOT of things have been going on in my life (mostly good things; a few things that were not the best thing, but this is a media blog, not one about fluffy feelings and such.) I … Continue reading I’m Back! (With Some Podcasts I Love.)

Day 30: Death’s Song – City & Color

Wow. We made it. I can’t believe I actually finished another one of these monsters. Let me tell ya, it wasn’t easy. I felt like quitting a few times, after I started to get busy and life stuff came up. But the support I got from the neat people in my life urged me onward. … Continue reading Day 30: Death’s Song – City & Color

Day 28: When I Get There – Ben Rector

It can be hard to know when you’ve “made it” in life. It kind of seems like there’s a series of “made its.” Graduations, marriages, promotions. You might feel for a second that you’re finally there, and life is good. Sometimes though, the fun part is in the journey. Who cares if you make it, … Continue reading Day 28: When I Get There – Ben Rector

Day 27: Au Revoir – OneRepublic

Saying goodbye is hard. One of my first major goodbyes I ever had to say was to my best friend in third grade. She told me toward the end of the school year that she was going to move away. I was heartbroken, because she was the person I was closest to, and I felt … Continue reading Day 27: Au Revoir – OneRepublic

Day 26: Hymn for Her – Anchor & Braille

If your grew up in church, you know that hymns are a thing. Like a big thing. If you’re a tried and true hymn worshipper, you’ll know the ins-and-outs of what makes a hymn a hymn. There’s a reason it’s not just called a “song.” It’s got characteristics. Here are a few of them. Hymns … Continue reading Day 26: Hymn for Her – Anchor & Braille

Day 25: Girl Harbor – Manchester Orchestra

When it’s June and you’re 23, that means it’s wedding season. Everyone is getting married. The amount of social media posts can get a bit ridiculous, but you have to admit it’s a little fun too. It’s exciting to see two people in love. There is that dangerous part of love, too, called the honeymoon … Continue reading Day 25: Girl Harbor – Manchester Orchestra

Day 24: Where Are You Now – Mumford & Sons

Let’s talk about Facebook. And how easy it is to stalk people. I mean “stalk” in the best way, not like, following them around all creepy, but…following them around online…less creepily. Okay, I guess it’s still a little creepy. But still. Facebook has made it easy to catch up with people you’ve lost touch with … Continue reading Day 24: Where Are You Now – Mumford & Sons

Day 23: Lost in My Mind – The Head and the Heart

I’ve always been a daydreamer. I don’t say that to toot my own horn. It’s actually gotten me in trouble more than enough times, especially in school situations. My brain trails off somewhere and before I know it, I have no idea what the other person is talking about. It’s not difficult to do, especially … Continue reading Day 23: Lost in My Mind – The Head and the Heart

Day 22: Headlights – The Classic Crime

A sad fact of life is that people leave. They leave temporarily or permanently from our lives. It’s sad when a best friend moves across the country, when a wife leaves her husband, or when a brother or son dies an untimely death. To “leave” has a lot of meanings but typically a negative emotion. … Continue reading Day 22: Headlights – The Classic Crime

Day 21: I Know How to Speak – Manchester Orchestra (Updated March 2023)

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)
