It’s not easy to leave this life with absolutely no regrets. Regrets come with the territory of living, because we all make mistakes (thanks, Hannah Montana.) But most of us have a wish to arrive at the end of our lives – whenever that may be – having lived a full and good life – … Continue reading Day 24: No Hard Feelings – Manchester Orchestra
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
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
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
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
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
Even the rich and famous have to someday face death and decay. As morbid as that sounds, it’s true. Nothing stops them from aging and slowing down (other than Botox and maybe drugs, but that doesn’t guarantee immortality.) Even the young, vibrant artists we see today will someday become old – and maybe even (gasp) … Continue reading Day Eight: Sixty Years On – Elton John
One of my biggest fears is getting to the end of my life and realizing I didn’t do anything with it. I think that’s a big fear – and regret – for a lot of people. We feel like we need to do big things with our life in order for it to count – … Continue reading Day 4: The Precipice – The Classic Crime
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
Angels where you soar up to God’s own light take my own lost bird on your hearts tonight and as grief once more mounts to heaven and sings, let my love be heard whispering in your wings. A Prayer by Alfred Noyes Music by Jake Runestad I can’t imagine what it would be like to live … Continue reading let my love be heard.
