Fall With Me


It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to post, and I left off with a mix for fall, so I figured where better to pick back up than with a follow up mix as the temperature continues to drop down into fall perfection ♥

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Atlas Hands
*I will remember your face,
‘Cause I am still in love with that place
When the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
I’ve got a plan
I’ve got an atlas in my hands
I’m gonna turn when I listen to the lessons that I’ve learned*


Gavin DeGraw – Soldier
*Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low.
I’ll get you through it nice and slow,
When the world’s spinning out of control.
Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
You could beg them, what’s the use?
That’s why it’s called a moment of truth*


Ben Rector – Song for the Suburbs
*Pretty cars and pretty houses
Pretty people on parade
If this dream is what you’re after
Then dreamin’ is where you’ll stay*


Sarah Blasko – We Won’t Run
*Cast out this devil, I’ve got the metal,
the means to make things right.
Tired of guilt, tired of being sorry,
haven’t we suffered enough?
We won’t run, we can fight,
all that keeps us up at night.
There is far to go now,
let’s not waste a minute more*


NEEDTOBREATHE – The Reckoning
*Cause I can see the shadows
At the foot of my door
I can see the faces
They don’t doubt us anymore
I can see it coming
I pray I don’t go blind
In the middle of our reckoning time*


Joshua Radin – The Rock & The Tide
*Everyone gets what they want too fast these days
No one knows the way to make things last*


Demi Lovato & Jason Derulo – Together
*Remember love
Remember you and me
Remember everything we shared
On this planet when we cared
Remember hearts
Remember unity
Remember loving neighbors
Without expecting favors*


Jack’s Mannequin – Broken Bird
*When you left here this morning
You were a broken bird
You said you can’t put out a fire
You can’t put out a fire
Your stance is widened
Your smile is hiding
What you want nobody to see
Broken bird now you’re free*


Andrew Belle & Katie Herzig- Static Waves
*Now out the door and down the stairs
From your apartment
I count the steps from where I am
To where I started
I would have let you leave*


Ingrid Michaelson – Spare Change
*You can’t break me
I’m a piggy bank on the floor
Watch all my spare change
Roll out the door
Watch all my spare change
Roll across the floor
Watching me through
Your glass door*


Happy Monday & Happy Listening

Bring On The Fall


In spite of all the floods and downed trees, one pleasant thing Irene left behind was the most perfect fall feeling breeze. It’s not quite fall yet, but I’m ready for it, and mellowing out with this Music Monday’s fall-ready tunes. Happy Listening.

1. Demi Lovato – Skyscraper
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try and tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper


2. Mat Kearney – Ships In The Night
I turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We’re just wasting time
Trying to prove who’s right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it’s just you and me trying to find the light
Like ships in the night


3. Augustana – Just Stay Here Tonight
My hands are tied and I’ve been rollin’ the dice
My legs are broken and I ain’t up for a fight
I’ll make it rain from an empty sky
If you just stay here tonight


4. Digital Daggers – Where The Lonely Ones Roam
Sun’s come up
And there’s no one else around
Meet me in the shadows
Won’t you tell me what you found
You’ve got everything to lose
Yeah I’m waiting on you


5. Matt Nathanson – Kiss Quick
Kiss quick, I got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy


6. Jacob & Lily – Hosea
I remember the summer and that sweet rain,
Moments of silence moments of pain
But your heart is wild and your eyes they wonder, why do I miss you


7. Mat Kearney – Chasing The Light
And you keep saying that you’re running down a dream
But you don’t know where it leads
As you keep chasing the light
Every bridge that you keep on burning
Every leaf that you keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you’ll figure it out


8. We Are The In Crowd – Never Be What You Want
I’m scared to death and it shows
The flame burned out, but it glows
And the look in your eyes says things I don’t wanna know
It’s time to go, come closer
And I can’t say anything, everything comes out the wrong way
I’ll never be what you want
I wouldn’t change any part of me
Just to make you stay


9. Angus & Julia Stone – You’re The One That I Want (Grease Cover)
You better shape up ’cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, better understand
To my heart I must be true
You’re the one that I want


10. Matt Nathanson – Modern Love ♥♥obsessed with all this song’s lyrics
I let ‘em in,
Oh man, I let ‘em win
I’d burn my house down just to hear them scream my name
I’ve carried hopes and heavy daydreams, she said
But I’m done with sleeping
Take the phone calls
Take this circus
Take the drama, ’cause baby it’s worthless
This modern love is not enough


 

Happy Monday & Happy Listening

Mayday Parade


This Music Monday, I picked a band that I’ve seen showcased in one of my favorite tumblr blogs several times Music and Lyrics: Cause What’s Life Without Music? I’ve come to appreciate the lyrics and emotions Mayday Parade creates and evokes effortlessly.

Mayday Parade – The Memory
*Someone help me cause the memory, convinced itself to tear me apart, and it’s gonna succeed before long*


Mayday Parade – Miserable at Best
*And everything I could give, is everything you couldn’t take*




Mayday Parade – I’d Hate to Be You When People Find Out What This Song is About
*Well, I’m thinking of the worst things that I could say to you, but a promise doesn’t mean a thing anymore*


Mayday Parade – You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I’ll Be The Wings That Keep Your Head In The Clouds
my favorite lyrics♥♥
*And I’ll be here by the ocean, just waiting for proof that there are sunsets and silhouette dreams, all my sand castles fall, like the ashes of cigarettes and every wave drags me to sea, I could stand here for hours just to ask God the question, is everyone here make-believe? With a tear in His voice, He said, “Son, that’s the question.” Does this deafening silence mean nothing, to no one but me?*


Happy Listening. Happy Monday!

Words to Live By


After such wonderful feedback from a few Tuesday ago’s “I Owe My Life to The People That I Love” I decided to do another TidBit Tuesday filled with words & pictures. Some lyrics, some quotes, some simple phrases, helping us take a beat – it’s always good to take a moment and just take it all in

Happy Reading, Happy Smiling, Happy Tuesday ♥♥

Website Wednesday – Good Morning and Good Night


For as long as I can remember, I’d sit and flip through books of quotes, of lyrics, and of inspirational pictures. I am admittedly cheesy and love pictures like below, combining artsy photography and sayings:

So this Website Wednesday I’m featuring a website that is all about cool pictures, tons of quotes, music and videos. Good Morning & Good Night.

Showcasing a plethora of amazing pictures, it’s easy to flip through and want every one for your computer background or even framed on your bedroom wall.

Aside from all the beautiful pictures, Good Morning & Good Night features one of my favorites quotes from one of my favorite books The Perks of Being a Wall Flower, by Stephen Chbosky:

* So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from here. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.* – Stephen Chbosky

Happy Hump Day

Jar of Hearts – Christina Perri


This Music Monday…well, Music Tuesday, (I got a little behind getting this up last night) I wanted to share some music with everyone, even if it is a day late. A singer/songwriter whose voice is haunting and soothing all at once; then put to a melodic piano and poetic lyrics, it’s hard not to get hooked.

With words like:

*Who do you think you are?
Running ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me*

Christina Perri is sure to find a place among the Adeles, Colbie Caillats, and Regina Spektors in like-minded music lovers like myself! Happy listening!
