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
