Day 23: Ghosts – The Head and the Heart

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

Day 22: Porcelain – Emarosa

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

Day 21: Trade Mistakes – Panic! At the Disco

I have a pretty set idea of what I want my wedding playlist to be. Not that I’m anywhere close to being married right now, but it’s fun to dream. And it’s always fun to build playlists, am I right? A wedding playlist is special because it’s your day and, hopefully, your music. You get to share what you … Continue reading Day 21: Trade Mistakes – Panic! At the Disco

Day Twenty: Wonder – The Classic Crime

I was an introspective child. I don’t say that to pat myself on the back either. I’ve been socially awkward since the day I was born, and have lived 80% of my life in my head thus far. Because I was so recessive as a kid, I had a lot of time and space to … Continue reading Day Twenty: Wonder – The Classic Crime

Day Nineteen: (*Fin) – Anberlin

Who remembers the rock scene of the 2000s? If you’re a millennial, you probably do. Maybe you even went through the quintessential angsty punk-rock phase. You know, skin-tight v-necks, studded belts from Rue 21, bangs over one eye (maybe even bleached.) Almost emo, but not quite. And if your mom would have let you have … Continue reading Day Nineteen: (*Fin) – Anberlin

Day Eighteen: Organs – Of Monsters and Men

I’ve yet to see a breakup where everyone escapes unscathed. I’ve yet to see a love where there’s not at least some heartbreak involved. Relationships end for a number of reasons. Distance, change, cheating, miscommunication. It especially hurts when all it took was one thing to go wrong. One word, one action, one anything. And … Continue reading Day Eighteen: Organs – Of Monsters and Men

Day Sixteen: Arsonist’s Lullabye – Hozier

There are some songs you absolutely never get tired of. Not that you don’t occasionally skip them when your playlist is on shuffle, but that they have staying power with you, for one reason or another. Maybe you like the instrumentation. Maybe it’s got a tasty hook. Or maybe it’s just a downright good song. … Continue reading Day Sixteen: Arsonist’s Lullabye – Hozier

Day Fourteen: Bay of Pigs – Rogue Valley

You can’t blame yourself for having feelings for someone. Even if they’re ill-concieved or it’s just a bad idea in general, you really can’t help it. I don’t know where you’re at right now – whether you’ve had a relationship or not, or whether you’re in one. But wherever you’re at, you’ve probably, at some … Continue reading Day Fourteen: Bay of Pigs – Rogue Valley

Day Twelve: Josh McBride – The Head and the Heart

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

Day Eleven: Whisper – The Dear Hunter

Today, we’re finally going to talk about my favorite band. If you know me even a little bit, you’ll know I have more than a slight obsession with The Dear Hunter. I might even be their biggest fan (as far as I know.) The reason they’re my favorite is twofold: the expert way they blend … Continue reading Day Eleven: Whisper – The Dear Hunter
