It seems as though the majority of my conversations of revolved around music since the end of the fall semester. I've picked up a lot of good recommendations, heard stuff on TV shows and the radio, as well as just stumbling upon artists and songs on the interwebs. There just hasn't been much of an opportunity to share this great music. So, here it is, the music that's been running through my head.
"Don't take, don't take, don't take, don't take it so lightly when you say, you say, you say, when you say you love me"

I heard this song on a One Tree Hill rerun on SoapNet the other day (guilty pleasure) and had to find it. When I did, I fell very quickly in love with it. There's a classic sound to this song that is just relaxing and calming to me. It made me want to cry and not because I was sad but just the comfort I felt in listening to the song.
"Be my friend, hold me, wrap me up, unfold me. I am small, I'm needy. Warm me up and breathe me"

I'm listening to this song as I write this. I found it while I was getting the link for the previous one. It's a gorgeous song, very evocative emotionally (this means I'm crying my freaking eyes out).
"At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral"

A person needs to be in the right frame of mind to really like most of the music I've been listening to. It's all rather melancholy. I'm not sure why, it's just the way I am for now. I mean, there's a few dancey songs and fun punk stuff sprinkled in when I'm talking to someone about music or out with people but when I've been on my own, I have been sticking with the melancholy. Yes, this has nothing to do with the song I just linked but I just have no words with which to describe it.
"You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step. The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get. You and me walk on, walk on, walk on"

This song reminds me of the people who I've come along side of to help through tough times and the people who have likewise done the same for me. I say thank you to both. To those I've come along side of, thank you for trusting me and letting me in during your darkest times. To those who came along side of me, thank you for allowing me to be weak and broken.
"Don't speak, don't breathe, you bring out the devil in me"

It's the acoustic version of the song. I like it. I want to say "I relate to this song so much" but of course I do. I wouldn't like it if I didn't relate in some way.
"Pitterpat the angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight"

Erin McCarly, the artist who brought us "Love Save The Empty" also offers up this song on the same album. I like this song super very much.
"No I don't want to see you go. No I don't want to be alone."

I can't tell if this is a break up song or not. What do you think? I love it either way. Angus & Julia Stone have gorgeous music. If you agree, you'll enjoy the next song :)
"And I'm waiting for the day, I know you'll have the heart"

Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequitted love. ~Charlie Brown. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how the quote goes. Either way, you get the gist. This song makes me think of unrequitted love. We all know what it's like to be romantically interested in someone who does not feel the same way. We all know what it feels like to be rejected. To me, this song expresses those feelings very well.
"And you know you're not there when the sound of a song cannot soothe you"

Much peppier. The thumbnail for the video is creepy. The lyrics are stunning. The artist is fantastic. The song is magnificent.
"I walk home as the sun goes down and listen for your voice but you're not there to call me I forget sometimes"

Literally an unknown unless you subscribe to certain YouTube channels. I like his sound and his music and just yeah. Check him out. Throw him some support :)
This is just the beginning of my list, I've simply run out of sufficient words.
Smile, it confuses people!
Also, Happy Christmas!!
