Do you remember that time? You know, that one time. It was like, less than a year ago. Some yahoo on the Internet decided to post every dang day about 30 songs. For a month. That was one crazy yahoo? Wasn’t it? Wasn’t it? Well it’s summer again (almost,) and I find myself with some time on my … Continue reading 30 Days, 30 Songs. (It’s Back.)
I used to think 22 was so adult and mature. Now that I’m here, I’ve never felt younger. As I got older in college, I felt more mature to a degree, but now, in the real world, there’s no ranking or seniority, other than what’s in place at my work. So in an entry-level position, … Continue reading Day 23: Ghosts – The Head and the Heart
To start off this post, I want to thank all of you who have been tuning in daily or weekly. I can’t believe I’ve tackled twenty-two songs already and only have eight left. So far, I’ve tallied 534 total views of this series, and I couldn’t be happier. Here’s hoping I’ll finish this off well. … Continue reading Day 22: Porcelain – Emarosa
One of the Biblical psalms begins with this text: My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me. Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me. I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Psalm 55:4-6 How often is our … Continue reading Day Thirteen: Bird of Sorrow – Glen Hansard
Sometimes, all you need is a sweet love song. Even if it makes you hurt a little bit. One of the main points of this blog series for me has been that songs bring back moments, so much so that you associate a song with a time, person, or place. Some songs bring you back … Continue reading Day Twelve: Josh McBride – The Head and the Heart
It’s a question songwriters have been asking for centuries: “What is Love?” Shakespeare toyed with the idea in his sonnets. Benatar taught us that love is a battlefield. Others have promised that they’ll never leave their partner. Is love all that? Is love a song, a warzone, or a lifelong vow? Or is it all three? The question may … Continue reading Day Six: Safe – The Airborne Toxic Event
It’s hard to forget your first concert. Maybe the ones you were forced to go to (your parents dragging you to see Bruce Springsteen because the babysitter wasn’t available; chaperoning your younger sibling to some teeny-bopper show,) but not the ones you count down the days for, listening to the album over and over again … Continue reading Day Five: Song of the Human Heart – Ramin Karimloo
Serendipity is when you find yourself in the right place at exactly the right time. It’s also an incredibly cheesy movie starring John Cusack (worth the watch, though, if you’re alone on a Friday night with pizza and a bottle of wine.) Allow me to be equally cheesy and say that “song”-endipity is finding a … Continue reading Day 3: She Used to Be Mine – Sara Bareilles
