Kingdom Come by The Civil Wars from the album: The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond

Kingdom Come by The Civil Wars

[One of the best folk duos I’ve heard. Their voices blend together beautifully. The sound of the song is simple yet powerful. Plus, some pretty haunting lyrics: Tall trees bend and lean/pointing where to go/where you will still be all alone…A cold wind’s whispering/secrets in your ear/so low only you can hear]

Current Playlist - ♫

I can only upload a song a day so here’s a list of songs that are on my playlist named “♫”:

  1. Dance me to the End of Love by The Civil Wars
  2. Violet Stars Happy Hunting! by Janelle Monae
  3. Tightrope (Feat. Big Boi) by Janelle Monae
  4. The Fox by Niki and the Dove
  5. The Girl with the Red Balloon by The Civil Wars
  6. Stan [Live] (Feat. Elton John) by Eminem

Plus some of the songs I’ve listed below. I tend to listen to the same songs for weeks and then I’ll get sick of them and put them into a playlist named after the year and the season. Whenever I go back and listen to those playlists, it’ll remind me of the time and place. So my “Winter 09/10” playlist will always remind me of Prague and London (where I lived and visited, respectively). It’s just nice to go back sometimes.

Wake Up Alone by Amy Winehouse from the album: Back To Black

Wake Up Alone by Amy Winehouse.

[This song makes me ache. Amy Winehouse was a brilliant lyricist: This face in my dreams seizes my guts/he floods me with dread/soaked to the soul/he swims in my eyes by the bed/pour myself over him/moon spilling in/and I wake up alone]

Breathe (feat. Liam Bailey) by Delilah from the album: Breathe (Remixes) - EP

Breathe ft Liam Bailey by Delilah.

[Her voice. Generally, it grates me a bit but it’s perfection in this song. And the lyrics: Use my heart as a crutch for my ego/And hope that I never never fall in love

Click. Listen. Repeat!

Emotionlessly she kissed me in the vineyard and walked off down the row. We turned at a dozen paces, for love is a duel, and looked at each other for the last time.

We went back to the barn; I made love to her under the tarantula. What was the tarantula doing? We slept awhile on the crates as the fire died. She went back at midnight; her father was drunk; I could hear him roaring; then there was silence as he fell asleep. The stars folded over the sleeping countryside.

If it’s going to fail, let it fail the way I wrote it, rather than the way I rewrote it.
