Here's where I post random songs I'm listening to.
"The fates are vicious and they're cruel
You learn too late you've used two wishes
Like a fool
And then you're someone you are not
And Junction City ain't the spot
Remember Mrs. Lot and when she turned around"
You learn too late you've used two wishes

With steam, heat, and rhythm in the backseat of the car
An adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to the stars
You heard 'love' from the lips
And were rapt by the hips
The promise was eternal, but you couldn't see that far!

"Some say love is a burning thing, that it makes a fiery ring
Oh, but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See honey, I saw love, you see it came to me
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing"

"Leave me here, let me go
I'm only here to feed mosquitoes
Only skin, only blood
A little less now than there was"
There's a balance in all of us between cynicism and joy. You get worn down, you get disappointed - but whoever you are, don't sand your humanity flat.
Love the people around you.

A friend shared this song with me tonight while talking about music that moves us. And it moved me.
Over and over many setting suns
I have run, I have waited for the rain to come
When through that mist, I see the shape of you
And I know, and I know that I'm in love with you
Over and over many setting suns
I have run, I have waited for the rain to come
When through that mist, I see the shape of you
And I know, and I know that I'm in love with you

We've all got those pieces inside of us that we dislike, even hate. Do we bury them and pretend they don't exist, or do we face them head on?
And if I go digging, I'll never stop
Fossilized nightmares in every spot
Ancient pottery filled with fault
And the negative space that held my soul
And if I go digging, I'll never stop
Fossilized nightmares in every spot
Ancient pottery filled with fault
And the negative space that held my soul

My favorite Talking Heads song changes from time to time, depending on my mood and if I get tired of one or another. But This Must Be the Place is almost always near the top.
It's nostalgic to hear this song, with all the bittersweet notes that implies. Take care to not get lost in the past.

Ever been head over heels for somebody?
Like, the kind of feeling where your breath catches in your throat when you try to speak to them. Where your legs feel weak when you're around them. When they touch you it's electric, and when you kiss it's a supernova.
Yeah. This song's about that.

Yes, I am a DEVOted follower.
A pioneering band that influenced most of music today. I have an ex whose favorite band was Devo, so I got some good exposure to them back then. I've always connected with punk and New Wave, so Devo just made sense.
They're more than just "Whip It", way more! :)

The Postal Service was a tremendous influence on a ton of folks when this album came out. I think the "lovesick love song" is one of the motifs I will always seek out for the emotions it inspires in me.
Particularly resonant:
