january

nnamdï & lynyn, barely a reason for a smile.

i feel fairly decent,
this is barely reason for a smile.
how can i fall more?
been at the bottom floor down at the deep end.

february

someone still loves you boris yeltsin, house fire.

i coughed your name, i smoked all day,
and i slept myself sleepy, i was sleeping it away.
don't let it burn, don't get confused.
don't let it get to you.

march

blue healer, only the rain.

when i told her that i drowned, that was when she looked around,
said "it's only the rain coming down."

april

-ness, tell me the truth.

we're going down to the water,
haven't aged, but we're older.

may

john vanderslice, too much time.

stone by stone,
i ended here all alone.

june

louie zong & brian david gilbert, thumbnail.

keep it quick, say it brief.
if it's fast, it will be a relief.
short on time, that's a gift.
count your seconds and they'll catch the drift.

july

stray kids, top.

never let you go, never let you go,
until the dim light becomes bright, i go.
no turning back— go up.

august

the midnight club, close your eyes.

don't you know when your eyes are closed,
you see the world from the clouds along with everybody else?

september

the mountain goats, training montage.

but the strings will keen and the horns will cry
when it's just me against the sky—
i'm doing this for revenge,
i'm doing this to try and stay true,
i'm doing this for the ones they left to twist in the wind,
i'm doing this for you.

october

los campesinos!, tiptoe through the true bits.

i've been waking on your side of the bed
as the sun's been rising in the west.

november

jeffrey lewis, exactly what nobody wanted.

a long time waiting and leaving,
and that's a good, weird faith to believe in.
a mirror needs depth and an angle
where the light waves wiggle and tangle.
so if someone else had all your same concentration,
they still couldn't reach the same destination.
there's really something anywhere you look closely,
but a lot of it could come or go mostly.
but when something really cuts away the pretenses,
when something really takes a swing for the fences,
when something really knocks it out of the borders
and rearranges all the usual orders,
that's exactly what the track you were on did—
and that was exactly just what nobody wanted!

december

adam young, ocean camp.
