january

los campesinos!, my year in lists.

on your request, i compile a list of my top five resolutions for this year.
i declined 'cause i decided that i do not believe in the new year anymore,
and you must confess that at times like these, hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness.
and i accept that it's time for a change,
but not in places like this with people like these.

february

ok go, upside down & inside out.

so when you met the new you, were you scared?
were you cold? were you kind?
yeah, when you met the new you, did someone die inside?
don't stop, can't stop, it's like a freight train.

march

they might be giants, apophenia.

everyone has got a feeling in the gut.
you can't just tune it out.
don't look at me like that.
it’s only tea leaves, stop being dramatic.
next thing you'll be saying that i've been hallucinating you all along.

april

to kill a king, bloody shirt (bastille remix).

oh, you lie next to me, heart is beating heavily.
there's blood in your hair though, blood on your shirt.

may

young galaxy, factory flaws.

i know you're in pieces, you know i'm at sea,
but something about you keeps calling to me.
i know all your secrets, you know all of mine—
the past is the past and it's better left behind.

june

foot ox, eat up.

it's only love and i think it's what you need,
so throw your body into the gears of this terrifying machine.

july

bombay bicycle club, home by now.

and you know, and you know, and they're begging "come home."
if you wanna try, you can come out and see me.
i could be home by now.

august

judah and the lion, take it all back.

my life is real great,
feel i'm well on my way to my dreams coming true
and i'm getting to do it with you.

september

gryffin & bipolar sunshine, whole heart.

head first, past the point of no return—
it's the only way left to go.
can't keep taking while the years go by,
gotta go whole heart this time.

october

mother falcon, marigold.

we kissed without hesitation, no reservations,
we dangle our feet from the highest places.
in the crowd of the sad, in the crowd of the mad,
we are the only smiling faces.

november

bad veins, under the cover.

we'll get through the night holding onto each other.
we'll be alright, here under the covers.

december

geographer, this is how we walk on the moon.

every step is moving me up.

stay strong, this world needs you.
