Bad Behavior – The Motion Epic

17 July 2018

The song is a pool at night, the way the lights in the water make the surface look like neon, glowing invitingly. This song is your friends hopping over the fence and sitting on the vinyl beach chairs. This song is the cheap beer you snuck in, and the way the sky looked huge overhead as it spins in your dizzy eyes…

Arizona – Kings of Leon

17 July 2018

One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is the permission to let go, the permission to surrender our past and to change for the better. It is only when you fully acknowledge the past that you can truly begin to let go and release…

Strangers In The Night – Frank Sinatra

We all have opportunities to to reach out and make a connection, yet we remain in the shadows. The forces keeping us at bay are just too strong…

Part 33 – Given Circumstances

17 July 2018

At half six on the opening night of “The Mikado”, I’m standing with my notes,  facing the auditorium which is filled with a kaleidoscope of Japanese, nervously chattering. The orchestra’s fiddling quietly. Tuning. Biggles is whispering to one or two. Is he nervous? Am I? Mrs Undercarpet’s making a song and dance about pinning something up. ‘Hold still.’

 Gandalf’s in his tightest shorts yet. He’s standing right next to me, centre stage, shielding his eyes up into the flies. He knows I want to start. Shouts. ‘Move that parcan a couple of inches to your left!’ High profile…

Love At First Sight – The Brobecks

17 July 2018

This feels like a song I would have played on repeat while I was in middle school.

The difference is that in middle school I would have said love was real, right now that’s hard to believe, especially at first sight.

Lost – Frank Ocean

12 July 2018

A bouncy indie-rock rhythm from Frank Ocean’s studio album Channel Orange released in 2012. A late find for me, but immediately this song has a lightness that gives me feels of California sunshine and blue skies; definitely a warm up for the soul…

Lovely Day – Bill Withers

12 July 2018

A classic 70s soulful groove from Bill Withers released in 1977, personally one of my favorite songs! No matter where I am, this song immediately lifts me up, not to mention who doesn’t want to have a lovely day???

By My Side – Porches

12 July 2018

New York Native Aaron Maine dropped his his third project “The House” Under his PORCHES monicker. His downtempo synthpop style is great for rainy nights and long introspective walks.

Follow Your Fire – Kodaline

11 July 2018

One thing about roaming around the city is that obviously you wouldn’t be doing so without a thought in your head. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Being left alone with your thoughts is a surefire way to allow the thoughts and ideas you’ve been suppressing for weeks to make their way to the forefront of your mind.

Little Victories – Malia Civetz

11 July 2018

“Took what we had and I blew it up,” rising pop artist Malia Civetz sings as the first lyrics to “Little Victories,” the second track she’s released to the world. Malia takes this track about repairing an emotionally damaged relationship, characterized by a lack of trust and a plea for forgiveness, to remind listeners that sometimes the the little things are what really matter in the grand scheme of things. You take what you can get and you go from there…
